Zachary clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. Veins popped out on the back of his hand, and a glint of malice flashed in his

eyes.
They grew up together, and nobody understood Johanne better than him. Johanne was mild–mannered, indecisive, and though he had the ambition, he lacked the courage to act.
Those actions were definitely influenced by someone behind the scenes, that’s the only reason he would have acted that way.
Had it not been for Susanna, the brothers might not have ended up where they were today!
However, the origin of the issue was undeniably linked to Johanne.
Zachary was disappointed that Johanne wasn’t living up to his potential.
“Not too long ago, Mallory mentioned she found out you’ve been in touch with another woman
“It was Susanna,” Johanne looked up and said, “Your people were searching for her everywhere, she secretly came to see me, and we had a fight.”
The scratches on his neck that Mallory saw were indeed caused by Susanna.
Yet, frustratingly, he couldn’t utter a single word. He could only watch her as she painfully struggled, her spirit diminishing and her appearance withering,
To be honest, now that Zachary knew everything, Johanne actually felt a sense of relief.
At last, he no longer needed to be on tenterhooks, living in constant fear and trepidation.
Zachary scoffed. “She caused Grandpa’s death, and she even had the audacity to approach you…”
As he spoke. Zachary paused abruptly, as if suddenly recalling something. His pupils contracted sharply. “Grandpa’s death…!”
“Yes. Grandpa didn’t die because of you, but because of me. I am the one who disappointed him…” Johanne closed his eyes in anguish.
Susanna laid everything bare before Gerald, even shifting the blame for the staged kidnapping and the death of Fernando entirely onto Johanne.
Gerald could never have imagined that his eldest grandson, who had always been gentle and humble, was actually involved in taking a life.
The life at stake wasn’t just anyone’s; it was Lenora’s father.
Johanne had once attended his funeral, acting as if nothing was wrong-
This revelation left Gerald deeply devastated, filled with immense disappointment.

He prided himself on being a champion of justice, and deeply regretted the death of Fernando. He hadn’t expected the person responsible for Fernando’s demise would be his own grandson.
Zachary gritted his teeth, slamming his fist against the wall once more. His knuckles turned bright red, the skin scraped raw,
You really are despicable!”
No wonder
No wonder Geralds will was so peculiar.
Johanne gazed despondently at the ceiling “Yes, I am despicable! Have you figured out what you’re going to do with me?”
Zachary looked up at him, unable to hold back as he stepped forward and delivered a swift kick to his leg.
Johanne struggled to his feet, swaying slightly as he began to move away. “If you’re still unsure, then I’ll head home first.”
As he approached the door, Zachary’s voice echoed from behind him. “Spend some quality time with your wife at home these days…”
Johanne paused. “I know.”
Lenora had been waiting in the office until it got dark. Just when she was about to lose her patience, Zachary finally returned.
Seeing him enter, Lenora looked up from her book “I called you, why didn’t you answer…”
Before she had even finished speaking, she was left agape in surprise.
The Zachary standing before her now seemed like a completely different person compared to when he had left.
His face bore several bruises, his hair was disheveled, his collar was askew, and his tie hung loosely across his chest. His suit was wrinkled all over, making him look utterly disheveled and far from his usual polished self.
“Zachary, d–did you get into a fight?” Lenora instinctively put down the book in her hand and rose from the sofa.
Zachary stood rooted to the spot, his gaze intensely fixed on Lenora. His eyes were a deep abyss, with something stirring within.
Seeing him silent, Lenora took a step forward, tilting her head curiously as she asked, “What’s the matter? Why are you staring at me?”
Suddenly, Zachary strode forward without uttering a word. He pulled her into his arms, burying his head in the crook of her neck. His eyes were closed, and his voice was hoarse. “Nora…”
Lenora placed a hand on his shoulder, slightly tilting her head. “Zachary, what’s wrong?
His scorching breath fanned against Lenora’s neck, and she fought hard to resist the urge to pull away.
2/4
Zachary gazed deeply at Lenora, his eyes filled with profound affection.
Zachary took hold of Lenora’s soft, delicate hand, pressing it against his own chest His gaze was fixed on Lenora. “Right here. The wound is right here… only you can heal it.”
