Yelena and Miles found themselves seated across from each other in a corner of a cafe near the hospital. They each ordered a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Lancaster, feel free to speak your mind."

Miles smiled. "Mr. Fuller wants me to relay a message to you. He said that it's not wrong to have ambition, but one must possess the capability to match it. Otherwise, you're merely courting disaster."

Yelena's face froze. "I don't understand. What does Mr. Fuller mean by that?"

"You were the one who arranged for the paparazzi to take pictures of Mr. Fuller and Ms. Wilkin at the grand theater, weren't you? Don't be so quick to deny is I dare to speak so confidently because Mr. Fuller already has thoroughly investigated it." Yelena's face was pale.

"Also, have you been in touch with Heston and Benjamin."

Yelena's breath hitched. "I have no idea what you're talking about!"

I can't believe Zachary has already uncovered everything in such a short time!

With a confident smile, Miles added calmly. "Both of them, along with four other shareholders, have already been apprehended by the police."

Yelena was adamant in her denial. "So what?"

"You were indeed discreet, but remember, the truth will come out sooner or later. Did you really think that Mr. Fuller's subordinates are just there for show?" Miles knew that for someone of Zachary's stature, he would not be short of unscrupulous methods.

He was aware of a young man associated with Zachary, who kept in direct contact with the latter. This young man had done some time in the past. Yelena's face was ashen as she slumped in her chair. "It was Susanna who made me do it!"

She wouldn't take the fall for Susanna over something that could land her in jail.

It was at this moment she truly understood. Her past actions never threatened Zachary at all, but rather, the latter just tolerated them.

And now, with Zachary no longer indulging Susanna, they were utterly helpless.

A few days ago, the results of the administrative review were released, upholding the original decision and releasing the surveillance footage. Unlock succeeded

up the matter.

Heston did not agree, causing the media to blow up the matter.

At that point, it was impossible for Fuller Group to agree to a private settlement. They stated they would wait for the results of the work injury assessment and responsibility allocation, then pay compensation based on the determined liability. Based on the available evidence, it was highly unlikely that the work-related injury assessment would be successful. The deceased was primarily at fault, therefore, the compensation amount from Fuller Group would undoubtedly be less than the figure initially proposed by Jeremiah.

As a result, Heston was utterly frustrated and upset.

At that time, Yelena got in touch with Heston and analyzed the situation for him. "The assessment for a work-related injury would take at least a month, and negotiating the compensation would take additional time. Given the trouble you've caused Zachary, it's highly unlikely that he would willingly to pay it. He might intentionally delay the negotiation process, reduce the compensation amount, and even force you to sue. From filing the lawsuit to the court hearing, it could take several more months. The lawyers of Fuller Group are not to be underestimated, they might even manage to delay it further. By the time you receive the compensation, it could already be a year or two later. And considering your father is primarily responsible, you might not get much money. Zachary might even sue your father, using his assets to compensate for the company's losses. That's how capitalists are. Their ruthlessness is beyond your imagination!"

Her words had riled up Heston, causing his resentment toward Zachary to deepen with every time he thought about it. He was subsequently consumed by a desire for revenge.

Right at that moment, the stock price of Fuller Group was continuously declining. By the close of trading on the previous Friday, some stockholders, driven by their emotions, had caused a commotion in the plaza in front of Fuller Tower.

For a long time, Benjamin had dabbled in the stock market, yearning to strike it big. He bet all his assets, only to end up nearly bankrupt. His wife ran away with their child. Then Yelena, with promises of profit, instigated him. Armed with a knife, he set out to attack Zachary "Susanna, Mr. Fuller is sending you abroad, never to return. But my parents are still here, so I can't leave with you. Please take care of yourself over there." In the ward, Yelena sighed as she spoke to Susanna.

Ever since she met Susanna abroad, she was filled with a burning ambition to help the latter become Zachary's wife. She would also be able to return home gloriously and trample over all those who had once belittled her.

But now, she understood that the key to success didn't lie with Zachary's wife but rather with the man himself.

Even if Susanna became his wife, she would still have to struggle from the bottom if Zachary didn't approve of her.

For example, Zachary had stripped Susanna of her leading role in Cloudwater City and retracted all of her endorsement deals, Consequently, all other advertisements featuring Susanna were canceled. Despite Yelena's best efforts to retain them, it was all in vain. Yelena's words hit Susanna like a truck, leaving her stunned. "Yelena, you're leaving me too? Don't go just

yet, I won't give up!"

Susanna spoke with an anxious tone, struggling to sit up. However, she accidentally pulled her wound, the pain forcing her to lie back down.

"Zachary no longer has feelings for you. Anything you do is futile. Actually, it might be good for you to go abroad, as there could be a chance for you to start afresh. However, I can't accompany you anymore, so take good care of yourself." After speaking. Yelena left the ward.

She didn't want to end up in prison, hence she knew she had to tread carefully going forward.

"Yelena! Yelena..." Susanna shouted, overwhelmed with emotion.

As Yelena departed, Susanna stared at her silhouette, eyes wide and tinged with red.

Even Yelena has stopped helping me. Is being sent abroad my only option left?

In the hospital room, Susanna's mother, Helen Scott, placed the chicken broth on the table and filled out a bowl. As she did so, she muttered, "Look at the state you're in, yet Zachary didn't even show his face." Susanna leaned restlessly against the bed, remaining silent.

Helen sat by the sickbed, oblivious to Susanna's expression, and continued to grumble, "How can your insisted on long relationship with Zachary be outshone by a lowly Lenora? I don't understand why you going

abroad in the first place. If not, you would be Mrs. Fuller by now! Listen, don't be too stubborn, just give him whatever he wants-

"Could you please stop talking?" Susanna interrupted her.

She never wanted to go abroad back then, but she was left with no choice.

"I'm your mother. I'm only looking out for you. What's wrong with me lecturing you?"

Helen pursed her lips, clearly displeased.

She fed Susanna a few sips of chicken broth, then added, "To be honest, it's obvious to everyone that you two were together. Look at the mess now. You came back home only to leave the country again in no time. Your father and I don't even know how to face our friends. When they ask about it, I'm so embarrassed I don't even know where to hide."

Susanna closed her eyes for a moment, patiently asking, "Where's Dad? What has he been up to these past few days?"

Her father had clearly promised her that he would help her deal with Lenora. However, there didn't seem to be any results

I knew I can't rely on my parents!

"Your dad? Don't count on him. He's probably off somewhere with another mistress, lost in her tender bosoms!"

Susanna ceased to speak.

Dad likes to show off yet he can barely perform in the company. All he does is indulge himself in food, drink, entertainment, and women. Mom is shallow and narrow-minded. She often quarrels with Dad and all she does is complain. At that moment. Zachary even found herself somewhat envious of Lenora.

The hardships Lenora endured in the past decade or so were indeed tough, but she effortlessly found herself in the position of Mrs. Fuller in the end.

"Your father is simply unreliable. You'd be better off telling me what you need."

Susanna looked at her mother, not uttering a single word.

Helen was annoyed. "Why are you giving me that look?"

Susanna was somewhat frustrated. "It's nothing. Don't overthink it."

After a brief argument with Susanna, Helen returned home with a gloomy face, tossing her bag onto the couch.

Kenneth hadn't returned yet, and she had no idea which woman he was fooling around with this time.

Just then, Kenneth's secretary walked in carrying a document. "Mrs. Carston."

"Kenneth isn't here."
