Chapter 308 Wishful Thinking
“Why?” Johanne repeated in a hushed tone. “Because you are nothing but an illegitimate child, yet Grandpa always favored you. He even wanted to hand the company over to yout On what grounds? I am the rightful future heir of the Fuller family
“So, you’ve never seen me as a brother, but as an enemy who caused your parents death and fought with you over Fuller Group’s inheritance? Zachary looked down at hin
With a cold laugh, Johanne cast a frosty gaze at Zachary “Isn’t that true
Whether at home or out. Johanne always presented himself as a gentle and refined man.
Zachary thought that such a cold, hateful gaze would never be directed at him again.
The last time Johanne had that look in his eyes was back in elementary school. He had tossed Zachary’s backpack into the river. As Zachary was trying to fish it out with a stick, Johanne pushed him in as well. Once Zachary had managed to climb out, soaked to the bone, Johanne threatened him not to tell their grandfather.
After returning. Zachary found himself drenched from head to toe. His explanation was that he had accidentally fallen into the water.
However, Gerald did find out. It was unclear what he said to Johanne, but Johanne ended up apologizing to Zachary.
Since then, their relationship had softened, growing more and more akin to family.
At least, that was what Zachary thought.
In retrospect, it seemed nothing more than his wishful thinking.
So it turned out that Johanne had simply altered his approach, burying his apparent hatred deep within his heart. He had deceived not only his grandfather butalso himself.
“So that’s what you were thinking… But I have to say, I never intended to compete with you for anything. let alone the position of CEO at Fuller Group. That was Grandpa’s decision.
Johanne looked at Zachary with a sarcastic gaze. “You speak so nobly, but I don’t believe for a second that you’re unaware I wanted that position! Even if you didn’t know before, you certainly do now. But you still took the chairman’s seat, didn’t you?”
Zachary slightly raised an eyebrow. That was Grandpa’s dying wish. I wanted it to be you, but in my heart, no one could ever surpass Grandpa I gave you a chance….
He had been away from Fuller Group for two and a half months, turning down several invitations from the board members.
If Johanne managed to stabilize Fuller Group during this period, he wouldn’t return.
Johanne became even more infuriated. “Speak plainly! You think you’re superior to me, don’t you?”
“Yes, I do.”

However, Johanne’s gaze was solely focused on his circle of friends. He was rather indifferent toward Susanna, a person who had entered the scene through several layers of connections.
Susanna was incredibly bold, taking every opportunity to appear before Johanne after that incident.
However, Susanna was ultimately young and naive. After experiencing numerous attempts of others trying to win her over, Johanne could see through Susanna’s intentions at a mere glance.
Johanne conducted himself with a gentlemanly demeanor, refraining from saying much. He expressed his feelings with a certain detachment, but to his surprise. Susanna took his words as mere formalities. She grew increasingly familiar with him, acting as if they were old friends in front of others.
As a result, Susanna gradually became part of Johanne’s social circle.
Johanne did not care for women who were overly manipulative, and his annoyance toward Susanna grew progressively. This annoyance peaked when Susanna confessed her feelings to him on one occasion.
He rejected Susanna, mercilessly mocking her for her foolish infatuation, likening her to asking for the

He thought such venomous words would make any sane person steer clear of him.
Unexpectedly, two days later, Susanna came knocking again. She sought to discuss her own merits with Johanne, expressing her loyalty toward him.
According to Susanna, she would do anything for Johanne, offering him her full support.
She wouldn’t be confined within the realms of love and marriage. Instead, she would prove herself useful, like a sharp blade, wielded by Johanne.

Back then, there were rumors circulating in the circle that Johanne had confessed his feelings to a young model, only to be rejected. Susanna even subtly hinted that she could arrange a meeting with the said model.
Johanne sneered. Did he really need Susanna’s approval to do what he wanted?
In the fleeting moment when Johanne had turned his head, Zachary happened to pass by the entrance of the office.
Johanne recalled that Zachary was about to start his internship at the company.
He casually gestured toward the door, addressing Susanna. “You said you’d do anything for me, didn’t you? Then go after Zachary. If you can win him over, I’ll agree to your request.“
