Chapter 745 The Truth

After saying those words, Henry looked up at Manuel and asked, "When did you replace out who I was? Edward told you that today?"

At that moment, he just got a feeling that Manuel knew it all along because this man was always beyond his expectation.

Manuel didn't answer him. He was just observing how to rescue Susan from Henry successfully.

"He has known about it for a long time." A woman's voice suddenly came behind them.

All of them looked in that direction and saw Emily, who was knocked unconscious and had gone up to the rooftop now.

Henry had a sense of foreboding.

Emily went up to them and said, "I once told him."

"Emily!" Henry immediately changed his face.

"Yes, I'm selfish. I don't want you to have anything with Susan, and I don't want you to revenge again. I just want to be with you. But you keep getting seduced by her, so I replace Manuel. Because I know both of you love her, so I want to stop you from being with her through him. I wish you can set aside the feud and come back to me, like when we were in the orphanage and only had each other!" With this, tears dropped from Emily's eyes.

Henry clouded his face to the extreme at that moment. He finally figured out why Manuel suddenly changed and started against him all the time.

Manuel used to avoid the conflicts between them, but he visibly shifted his attitude since he married Susan using schemes.

"When did you tell him?"

"When you and Susan were about to get married," Emily said.

So, the only reason why Manuel tried to destroy their marriage was that he knew Henry's true colour. However, Manuel didn't expose Henry's plot. He didn't expose Henry for such a long time. It turned out that he was just an ugly and sleazy clown in Manuel's eyes.

"You've already known it. Why didn't you tell me?" Susan was the one who was also agitated beside Henry. She was questioning Manuel angrily. She did not understand why Manuel didn't tell her since he knew Henry intended to hurt her. But he just only watched her do so many stupid things.

Manuel looked at Susan and saw she was emotional with her eyes reddened. Then he said, "If I had told you about this earlier, what do you think you would have done?"

Susan was stunned and paused because of Manuel's sudden question. She seemed to realize that if she knew everything while she was loving Henry, she would probably have confronted her father for Henry instead of cutting him loose, according to her personality. She would have done something pretty extreme. But for the harm Henry brought her at the moment, she would never do anything hurtful to him. Susan was bearing with her lips bit tight and pale.

"I thought I could try to let you fall in love with me and kick Henry out. Then I could put an end to the feud between you two families. But I'm not capable enough. You'll always choose Henry between me and him." Said Manuel.

"But now..." Susan was trying to say something.

Henry cut her short directly, "So you want to help me and Susan, in your way?"

"Yes." Manuel didn't disguise his intention, while he was just gaining time now, "As long as I could make sure you didn't get the Phillips Bank, you wouldn't do anything to Edward and Susan. But I didn't expect you would run to an extreme."

"You didn't expect she would fall in love with you in the end," Henry said sarcastically.

Susan bit her lip.

Manuel also compressed his lips lightly at that moment.

"You thought she would love me forever, and so did I. But she turned her back on me and love someone else. If you had known she would end up loving you, I would have been killed by you."

"I won't do anything illegal."

"So you're reminding me I'm doing something illegal?" Henry sneered, "But Manuel, I think I respect you. How could you just let Susan go if you liked her so much? How could you ignore your feelings and help her and me?"

"You can take a horse to water but you cannot make him drink. I've tried it, so I just let her go." Manuel said indifferently.

"Now that you've given up, why do you still want to care about her? You should callously watch me take the Phillips Bank and laugh at Susan because she was as blind as a bat."

"I'm not as sinister as you. Since I've discovered your plot, I won't let you succeed." Manuel said bluntly, "I've tried my best to bring you together, but you didn't feel grateful for my kindness."

"Manuel, you love her so much. I can't believe you could put up with her misunderstandings of you and do all of this for her without a word!" Henry said sarcastically, "Now I even feel she's a little ungrateful to you."

"I've said I just did what I thought I should do. Edward was my stepfather, and, naturally, I should protect his property. I'm not as great as you think."

"And now you're still considering Susan? You're afraid she's gonna die, right?"

"Believe it or not." Manuel didn't explain more.

"You're right. That's all in the past and doesn't matter now. The point is that I want all of you to die with me!"

Manuel's face clouded slightly.

"Call Edward." Henry suddenly ordered Manuel.

"Give a call to that old man, I want to see if he's dead!" Henry said viciously.

Manuel looked at Susan.

"No! I don't want my dad to die with me!" Susan was agitated.

"I won't do that." Manuel was calm and said clearly, "I don't want to involve someone else and make him die."

Susan stared at him, feeling a little sad about Manuel's indifference to her. He seemed to care nothing about her life. She tried to suppress her mood swings.

"You don't want to call him? Fine, I'm gonna push her out of the roof then." Henry threatened.

"You'd do the same thing even if I call him. Then why will I let you kill one more to get what you want?"

"Manuel, you've ended your feelings for her after all," Henry said slowly with an evil smile.

Hearing what Henry was saying, Susan felt a pain crawling into her heart.
