Chapter 142

Author: Summer Knowles
"Who says that? Must be some fool—every day, they make me so angry I can't even eat!" Richard glared pointedly at James.

"Grandpa, do you have to call me out like this?" James replied with a helpless smile.

Before the conversation could continue, the door opened, and Lucy strode in. She made a beeline for Richard, putting on her sweetest expression. "Grandpa, I came to see you."

Richard gave her a cold glance and said nothing.

"You've got some nerve showing up here after what you did to Sarah," he finally snapped. "And you still have the audacity to look me in the eye?"

Lucy feigned remorse. "Grandpa, I know I was wrong."

Sarah stood off to the side, her expression icy as she glanced at James. If she had known this would turn into a family reunion, she wouldn't have come.

"Sarah treated you so well—how could you be so ungrateful? Apologize to her right now! If you can't do that, get out and don't come back!" Richard demanded sternly.

Lucy turned to Sarah with exaggerated humili

    This was an anonymous multimedia message. He didn't know who sent the photo or what their intentions were.The image completely disrupted Zachary’s composure. He'd never been so unsettled by anything before. Though he maintained his outward calm, his mind was in chaos.He dialed the number. After two rings, someone picked up, speaking through laughter, "Hello? Sarah can't come to the phone right now, she's hugging my brother... Oh, sorry, I've said too much. Why don't you call back later?""Click..."After hanging up, Lucy's eyes crinkled with satisfaction. She deleted the call record and put the phone back exactly where it had been.The whole thing had happened silently, as if it never occurred.She looked over at the pair - Sarah and James were still opening the pastry box.The sweet aroma from the freshly baked goods wafted through the air, seeping into her skin. Sarah carefully lifted out the delicate pastries.After disposing of the wrapping, only the gentle sweetness rema

    Sarah finally gave in and followed Mia out of the school gates with her bag.When she saw Zachary, she only gave a slight nod.Though they hadn't seen each other for just a few days, the awkwardness between them felt like years of distance. This time, she sat in the back with Mia."Sasa, I need to take Mia to the family house. Should I drop you off first?" Zachary's voice carried a hint of coldness."No! Zach, drop me off first, then take Sarah home." Mia jumped in before Sarah could respond.Zachary didn't argue, driving Mia to the family house first.In the car, neither of them spoke. The uncomfortable silence was unprecedented - just days ago, they couldn't have imagined this tension.Zachary opened his mouth several times but closed it again, swallowing the words he wanted to say.When they reached Sarah's apartment building, she got out with a simple, "Thanks."Watching her walk away, his heart ached.He called Steven, who answered quickly."Hey! What's the occasion? Le

    Hearing this, Zachary visibly relaxed, putting his phone back in his pocket. "She probably thinks there's something between us and wanted to cause trouble.""She really has too much free time, can't stand seeing me close to anyone. Whenever I get close to someone, she assumes I have ulterior motives. Don't worry about it - she's got it wrong." Sarah lowered her eyes, her lashes fluttering.She kept walking, but Zachary suddenly moved closer, asking, "Is she wrong?"His warm breath brushed against her forehead, making her face flush red. "Yes, she's wrong!"She avoided looking at him and walked faster.Zachary watched her flustered retreat with amusement.He'd misunderstood that photo, letting emotions cloud his judgment.A simple analysis would have shown that Sarah would never get close to James - she despised him completely.He chuckled softly and caught up with her.The garden was full of mosquitoes, and Sarah was already covered in bites after just a short while."Let's h

    Charlotte listened as they even suggested Sarah was whispering in Zachary’s ear at night.While mother and daughter were ranting, James came home from work."Brother, why didn't the Reynolds send us an invitation this time?"James's expression darkened. "How dare you even ask! After what you did to Mia, you still expect an invitation?"Lucy protested, "But we're the Chancers of the East Coast.""Enough! We're nothing compared to the Reynolds. You attacked his sister - we're lucky he hasn't taken direct action against us. Even without his word, several companies are terminating their partnerships with us. I barely managed to clean up your mess - don't cause any more trouble!" James snapped.Lucy fell silent, her face pale. She hadn't known about any of this.At Adams University, Sarah and Mia were leaving the counseling office.Walking side by side, Mia handed Sarah an elegant black invitation card with gold embossing. "Sarah, my brother's birthday is the day after tomorrow. I'd

    "You're the stupid one! Your family is made up of idiots! Lucy, how dare you talk to me like that?"Lucy was stunned. She'd seen Mia acting like an idiot, hiding timidly behind Sarah last time."You, last time you were...""Last time what?" Sarah pushed open the door and stepped in front of Mia, blocking Lucy's view.Lucy stumbled back in shock, pointing at Mia. "This isn't right! She was clearly mentally ill before. I saw it! Or was it all an act?""Lucy, you never learn, do you? Mia's situation is none of your business. Next time, think about whether your family can afford the consequences before you act," Sarah said coldly.She'd thought the competition incident would have taught Lucy a lesson, but apparently being detained hadn't cleared her head.Zachary wasn't someone who turned the other cheek, and Mia wasn't just any student she could bully. Lucy had miscalculated again.Lucy wasn't used to being talked to this way. "Sarah, what are you so proud of? You only got close t

    Ten dresses were laid out before Mia, who excitedly pulled Sarah around to look at them. "Sarah, which one do you like?""This one."Sarah pointed to a light pink dress, similar to a crinoline but shorter than the usual style.With Mia's slim waist and delicate features, this dress would suit her perfectly."Perfect, I'll take it. Please have it altered and delivered to my house," she told the manager."Of course, Miss Reynolds."Mia tugged at Sarah's arm. "Sarah, which one do you want to try?"Sarah scanned the collection. None of the ten dresses matched her style. The boutique's designs - all princess and young feminine styles - suited Mia but weren't her taste."Nothing here catches my eye. Let's try somewhere else."Mia nodded. "Okay."They left for another boutique that featured more minimalist designs without elaborate details.After browsing, Sarah walked toward one dress.Mia followed, pointing excitedly. "Sarah, this one! It's gorgeous!"Sarah nodded in agreement.

    Zachary’s cold gaze barely flickered. “This has nothing to do with you.”“Mr. Reynolds, I’m only trying to help,” Lucy said, forcing a smile despite her displeasure.“No need,” he replied, his steps never faltering.Watching his retreating figure, Lucy stomped her foot in frustration. Still unwilling to give up, she caught up with him again. “Mr. Reynolds, your birthday is tomorrow. Can I have an invitation?” She batted her eyelashes, trying to appear innocent.Zachary didn’t even glance at her, continuing toward the psychology office without a word.Lucy froze, her gaze fixed on his back. She realized he wasn’t here for Mia; he was heading for Sarah. The humiliation stung—she had lowered herself to ask for an invitation, and Zachary hadn’t even given her the courtesy of a response.Her face darkened with fury. This was all Sarah’s fault. If not for her, none of this would be happening. Their family would still have their rightful place, with invitations to every important event.

    “You look stunning today, Miss Sanders,” Steven complimented sincerely, his tone free of any ulterior motives, just pure admiration.“Thank you,” Sarah replied with a polite smile.“Miss Sanders, please get in,” Steven said, holding the car door open for her like a gentleman.As she walked over, she asked, “Were you sent to pick me up?”Steven waited for her to settle into the backseat before replying, “Yes, Zachary asked me to. He’s stuck talking with the old man and couldn’t make it himself.”Closing the door, Steven got into the driver’s seat.“Thank you,” Sarah said warmly.At the grand St. Ritz Hotel, the most prestigious banquet hall had been reserved for Zachary’s birthday celebration.The event was grander than any previous gatherings, including Lucy’s birthday party, which paled in comparison. Being Zachary’s birthday, the guest list consisted of high-profile individuals—some drawn by the Reynolds family’s reputation, others by Zachary himself.Unmarried and without a

    Mrs. Chancer anxiously watched Charlotte lying unconscious on the bed, barely hearing anything the hospital director was saying.James had regained his composure after learning that Charlotte was currently stable. He politely responded to the director, "Thank you. Please don't let us keep you from your duties."After speaking, he glanced at the housekeeper.The housekeeper instinctively stepped forward and extended his right hand courteously. "Director, please, let me escort you back."Mrs. Chancer sat on the stool that James had pulled over, staring at Charlotte's pale face with lingering fear, unable to look away for a long time.It wasn't that she truly cared for Charlotte; she was simply afraid of losing her chance to hold her first grandchild.James placed his hand on her shoulder and gently urged, "Mom, you've had a shock. Charlotte is fine now. Why don't you go home and rest?"Mrs. Chancer was still somewhat angry with him. "I'm not leaving. What if you leave the moment I'

    She bit her lip hard, regaining some clarity, then shouted toward the stairway, "Help! Someone come quickly! Save my baby!"Before she lost consciousness, several panicked figures appeared in her vision, rushing toward her.The ambulance arrived quickly. Everyone carefully lifted Charlotte inside, where doctors and nurses immediately began emergency procedures.The housekeeper went along in the ambulance to the hospital.On the way, he called both James and Mrs. Chancer, briefly explaining what had happened and giving them the hospital's location.After receiving the call, James put aside his work and rushed to the hospital as quickly as possible.Even though he disliked Charlotte, the child in her womb was his undeniable responsibility.Mrs. Chancer reacted as if the world was ending. As soon as she arrived at the hospital, she frantically found a doctor and grabbed his hand, refusing to let go. "Where is my daughter-in-law? Where is she? Is the baby okay?"The doctor she corne

    Perhaps due to her extreme emotional state, Charlotte quickly fell asleep.She had a dream.In her dream, she had just gotten off a plane and spotted James in the distance, elegantly leaning against his car waiting for her. In that moment, his eyes were fixed only on her.Charlotte ran toward him happily, wanting to throw herself into his arms and hold him tight.However, halfway there, she saw another woman appear from the side who ran straight into James's welcoming embrace.She could clearly see that James's eyes were filled with affection, without sparing even a glance in her direction."No, this can't be real. Who is she?" Charlotte shook her head in disbelief as she walked closer step by step. When she saw the woman's face, she instantly fell apart."Sarah Sanders, why is it you again? Why do you keep haunting me? James is mine. Don't you dare try to take him away." Charlotte lunged forward like a madwoman, trying to separate them.A mist enveloped the couple, and the scen

    The guard at the door was easy to convince. She made up a simple excuse about having a stomachache or needing to see a doctor.The police still sent someone to follow her to the building entrance. When they arrived, the officer blocked her path. "Ms. Garnett, please go back. Without approval, you can't see anyone except your doctor.""Not even my husband? My stomach hurts terribly. I need to see my husband to feel at ease," she pleaded.But the officer wouldn't budge. "Ms. Garnett, please return!"Just then, the officer received a phone call. After listening for a few moments, the officer stepped aside.Charlotte walked in confidently, wearing sunglasses with her head held high.The receptionist greeted her politely, "Miss, who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"Charlotte removed her sunglasses, frowning slightly with an annoyed tone, "I'm here to see your CEO, James Chancer. Do I really need an appointment?"The receptionist was new and didn't recognize Charlotte

    As Mrs. Sanders kept talking, not only did Sarah stay silent — she actually started laughing.Mrs. Sanders frowned. “What are you laughing at?”Sarah’s gaze turned cold. Her voice was calm but sharp. “Shouldn’t matters between us younger people be handled by us directly? Wouldn’t it sound bad if word got out that you’re getting involved like this?”She paused for a second, then added with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Besides, no matter what, I’m still the biggest shareholder in Sanders Group. Firing an employee is well within my rights, don’t you think?”Right now, Sarah was actually glad Mrs. Sanders had finally dropped the act and shown her true colors. At least it saved Sarah the trouble of pretending to be polite.Mrs. Sanders still wore the kind, gentle smile of an elder, but her voice turned colder underneath. “So what, you’re using your position to pressure me now?”Sarah laughed softly. “You’re joking. How would I dare?”Without bothering to continue the

    Later that night, Sarah went downstairs with her empty glass to get some water. But just as she passed by the living room, she overheard a conversation between Melvin and Mrs. Sanders.“You’re really impossible to talk to, you know that?” Mrs. Sanders sounded both angry and disappointed. “It’s not just me — everyone in the family has been trying to convince you. Sarah studied psychology, not business. She has no experience at all. The entire Sanders Group is depending on you.”Melvin’s voice, on the other hand, was clearly filled with impatience. “I’m pretty sure I told you a long time ago, stop bringing up anything about Sarah.”Mrs. Sanders snorted coldly. “How can I not bring it up? It’s just that you’re willing to work like a fool without asking for anything in return. If you’re just going to be a tool to manage Sanders Group for someone else, I really don’t understand why you’re doing all this.”She paused, then added, “By the way, your aunt hinted to me earlier — she wa

    Melvin forced a small smile.He honestly didn’t know how his mother could scold him so viciously over the phone just a few days ago… only to turn around tonight and act like nothing had happened, praising him in front of everyone.Mrs. Sanders finally seemed to notice Sarah as well. She smiled politely and nodded. “Sarah, you’re here too? Come on in.”Many of the Sanders family elders were there tonight. When Uncle Shawn saw Sarah, his face lit up with joy. He quickly pulled her over to sit at the main table beside him.“Sasa, you must have had a rough time in West Ridge. Later, I’ll ask the kitchen to make all your favorite dishes, just for you.”Sarah’s heart warmed at his words. Uncle Shawn really did treat her like his own daughter.But when she glanced to the side, she noticed Mrs. Sanders looking at her coldly — like she was staring at an enemy.Tonight’s birthday banquet wasn’t just a family gathering. Even members of the White family were there.The moment Madam White

    Zachary still didn’t respond.Vivian straightened up and slowly walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. Her voice was calm, but every word was filled with accusation.“Zachary, let’s not pretend. We both know perfectly well — while you were gone, Sarah disappeared too. Are you really expecting me to believe that the two of you weren’t together?”She paused, her eyes fixed on the distant view outside.“I always thought that since you agreed to get engaged to me, you’d take responsibility. I believed you wouldn’t be out there tangled up with her. Was I wrong?”Zachary let out a soft, mocking laugh.“You believed.” His voice was low and cold. “But just because you believe something… does that automatically make it true?”Vivian froze — then suddenly let out a loud, crazed laugh, like she had completely lost control.She turned around, her eyes burning as she pointed at him. “Then tell me! Tell me whether it’s true or not! Where exactly did you go? Who were you with?”She to

    Vivian smiled sweetly, though her words were sharp underneath.“Like you said, I’m Zachary’s fiancée. Of course, I wouldn’t say anything reckless. Out of responsibility, since this contract was signed by both of us, I have an obligation to make sure things are handled properly.”Her words sounded kind and reasonable on the surface, but everyone in the room could hear the meaning behind them.Mr. Robertson, who had been quietly watching this back-and-forth, already understood exactly what kind of person Vivian was. But between Zachary and Vivian, it was clear where his loyalties lay — with Vivian.“Mr. Steven, why don’t we call Mr. Reynolds over?” Mr. Robertson suggested calmly.Steven’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Zach…”But before he could finish, a deep, cold voice rang out from the doorway.“Mr. Robertson, have you ever thought about the possibility… that these parts aren’t from Reynolds Corporation at all?”The conference room door swung open.Zachary walked in slowly, calm
