The phrase "you all" made Zachary frown, just slightly. But he didn't dwell on it; he assumed it was a slip of the tongue on Susanna's part or maybe a momentary lapse. After all, their past was long behind him now, a closed chapter he no longer cared to revisit or argue over.

Holding his cigarette between his slender fingers, Zachary asked in a casual tone, "So, you met with Grandpa? What exactly did you two discuss that day?"

Susanna's gaze locked onto him, and there was a playful gleam in her eyes. "You really want to know?" she teased, arching a brow. "Well, too bad! I'm not telling you." Zachary had harbored doubts for some time now.

If Susanna had truly told his grandfather that he couldn't live without her, why would the old man's arrangements with the company shares show no signs of anger toward Zachary himself?

Instead, it had been Johanne who felt the brunt of his grandfather's displeasure. Besides, his grandfather had always known about his emotional struggles-so why would he have so little resilience toward them?

After much thought, he could only conclude that his grandfather's strength had simply run out.

With a short sigh, Zachary let it go, replying, "No point in dwelling on all that." He took a drag from his cigarette. "I heard from Elijah that you've been wanting to see me?"

"Oh, stop pretending," Susanna sneered, her smile sardonic. "You already know what cards I'm holding. It honestly surprised me-Lenora, of all people, turned out to be my half-

sister by blood. What an odd twist of fate that both sisters would end up entangled with the Fuller family!"

Zachary didn't react, instead exhaling a thin stream of smoke and asking calmly, "So what exactly do you want from me?"

As the cigarette burned down to its end, he lifted his hand and stubbed it out in the ashtray.

Susanna didn't answer right away. Instead, she laughed coldly. "You've been out of the picture so long, I thought this bargaining chip might've lost its worth. But here you are, back to see me. You're divorced now, yet you're still willing to give up so much for her?" Without missing a beat, Zachary nodded. "Yes. I am."

For a moment, Susanna's expression faltered, and her eyes flashed with jealousy and bitterness. She clenched her teeth, hissing, "She's nothing but a worthless sl*t!"

"I said Lenora is no better than her mother, using her looks to cozy up to men. Who knows how many have had their turn with her? Am I wrong?"

Susanna's face twisted with a sly smile. "If you send me back there, I swear I'll drag Lenora's name through the dirt! You really think I don't have more up my sleeve?" With a smirk, she began to laugh mockingly.
