seen through
No longer fooled
Seen through has two distinct meanings depending on context.
To be seen through is to have one's deception exposed—someone has penetrated your facade: His excuse was easily seen through.
To have seen something through is to have completed it despite difficulty: She saw the project through to the end.
The first implies transparency of motive; the second implies persistence.
