Chapter 148

Author: Summer Knowles
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

    The soft melody of "Free As A Bird" floated through the grand ballroom, where a pyramid of crystal champagne flutes sparkled beneath the chandeliers. Young women in designer evening gowns mingled and laughed throughout the space.Under the spotlights, their jewelry cast dazzling reflections across the room.In a quiet corner stood Sarah, wearing a sleek black velvet gown that hugged her curves. As one of the century's most distinguished formal wear designers, her dress perfectly embodied the fusion of elegance with modern sophistication.She wore minimal jewelry - just a single emerald pendant that added a subtle touch of refinement.Beside her stood Mia in a flowing princess ballgown, holding a plate of petit fours. Despite being one of the event's hostesses, her eyes betrayed an unsettling anxiety and nervousness.Mia seemed to shrink into herself as faces passed before her in an endless stream. Though each wore a polite smile, she could only see threatening expressions, never k

    Sarah maintained her composure throughout the tirade. "Are you finished?"She had heard far worse insults. These socialites were all the same, using their status to belittle others.She saw no point in engaging with such people.Her dismissive response only fueled the woman's anger. She shoved Sarah. "How dare you talk back to me?"Her entourage quickly chimed in, "Do you even know who you're talking to? This is Victoria Kourtney, daughter of Stellar Media's CEO."Stellar Media?One of the largest entertainment conglomerates on the East Coast, even more influential than the Chancer family. No wonder she acted so entitled.Sarah responded with subtle sarcasm, "I'm just a university psychology counsellor How could I possibly be acquainted with someone of your status?""Are you mocking me?" Victoria's eyes narrowed dangerously. "Let me make this clear! Don't think that just because you're pretty, you can do whatever you please. The East Coast elite isn't a circle you want to cross

    "If Miss Kourtney and her friends continue spreading malicious gossip, I'll have to ask you to leave.""We're leaving,” Miss Kourtney snapped, quickly retreating with a dark expression.Sarah kept her head down, unsure how to face Zachary or process what he had just said.She stared at the hem of her dress and her shoes, at a loss for how to react."Almost caused another scene. Are you alright?" Zachary asked gently.When Sarah didn't respond, he called again, "Sasa?""Oh? Yes, I'm listening. I'm fine," she replied distractedly.Her thoughts were a tangled mess, growing more complicated the more she dwelled on them.What did Zachary mean?"Why so lost in thought? The gala's about to start. May I have a dance with you later?"Sarah was still pondering whether Miss Kourtney's gossip would cause trouble for him."Sasa?" Zachary emphasized."Hm? What is it?""I asked if I could dance with you later?""Yes," Sarah answered quickly.Wait, what had she just agreed to?She had

    "You dance wonderfully too, Mr. Reynolds.""How's Mia?""She wasn't feeling well earlier, so I took her upstairs. I planned to bring her back down for the gala, but she fell asleep, so I came down alone." Then she'd encountered that situation.Zachary's face showed concern. "I thought Mia had gotten over her fears.""She had been stable, but today there were too many people. She got overwhelmed," Sarah knew Mia was especially sensitive now.Zachary looked at the top of her head, his thick eyelashes fluttering. "I really love the gift."He was also delighted to see the bracelet he'd given her on her wrist."You've already said that.""But I wanted to say it again."When their dance ended and they stepped off the floor hand in hand, those women were still glaring at her as if she'd stolen someone's husband.She smiled wryly. When someone had stolen her own husband, no one had looked at that person this way. Instead, they'd thought she was the ungrateful one.In the face of mon

    That night, the Chancer household was in turmoil over a rumor Lucy had heard.She quickly turned her phone screen toward the three people at the dinner table. "Mom! James, Charlotte, look at this!"The screen showed a man and woman dancing, embracing as her dress swirled around them.Though many others were dancing around them, James immediately recognized Sarah and Zachary.His fingers trembled slightly as he silently sipped his soup.Charlotte noticed his reaction and remarked thoughtfully, "It's not surprising, really. They're always together anyway."Mrs. Chancer angrily threw down her utensils with a cold snort. "I've been saying all along - Sarah divorced you such a short time ago and now she's getting cozy with the Reynolds family. You never believed she was unfaithful during your marriage, and you still gave her eight million plus a house and car. Go get it all back!"When Mrs. Chancer mentioned money, Lucy glanced secretly at James, hoping he'd reclaim it - after all, t

    Yet somehow, he had walked right past Sarah to his sister instead. While dancing, he'd seen Sarah's disappointed look but still avoided her. In fact, he had never once asked her to dance.But in this photo, he saw a vibrant Sarah, her black velvet dress hugging her elegant curves. Only the hand at her waist was jarring to see.“James? James, what are you thinking about?!"The repeated calls finally brought James back to reality. He looked at Charlotte in confusion. "What is it?""I said you should calm your mother down."James turned to his mother, who was glaring at him angrily. "Mom, I won't do it."Sarah avoided him like a mouse fleeing from a cat, especially now with Zachary constantly by her side."What's the use of talking about this! If you really care about my well-being, go get that money back! That's Chancer family money!"James remained silent and went upstairs.The gala wasn't even over when Zachary’ words had spread throughout the East Coast, leaving wealthy young

    Fresh from the gambling den, Charlie was ecstatic, clutching a bundle of cash and laughing wildly. "Zach, we won thirty thousand! Can you believe they just let us walk out?"He found it unbelievable, but Zach seemed unfazed. They hadn't just taken the house; they'd also won a considerable amount from other gamblers, and even helped the house make a profit. It was no wonder they weren't stopped.Holding the money, Charlie mused, "Zach, you wouldn’t believe it. The rich just keep getting richer. Today, our factory received a shipment of equipment, and I heard just one machine costs millions. Compared to them, this thirty thousand really isn't much."Zach casually mentioned, "It seems like the Sanders factory is the only big one left around here."Charlie quickly retorted with a smirk, "Actually, in West Ridge, Sanders isn’t the biggest."Zach raised an eyebrow, "Really? I thought I knew West Ridge pretty well. Apart from Sanders, I haven’t seen any factory bigger than theirs."Char

    Charlie finally got it—Manager Sullivan was forcing him to take on this task. He gritted his teeth and determinedly agreed, "Manager, I'll do it."Manager Sullivan smiled approvingly, "That's the spirit! Good employees like you are what this factory needs. Don't worry, the higher-ups won't let your efforts go unrewarded. If you pull this off, you could be looking at a bonus of several thousand."Charlie nodded, "Tonight, then?"Manager Sullivan's expression grew serious as he nodded back, "Yes, tonight."That afternoon, Charlie clocked out and went straight to find Zachary. He couldn’t go back to the old gambling den—they had made a mess last time and were probably blacklisted. As for the money he owed, Charlie didn’t care anymore. After all, they had won a lot last time only to have it stolen, which he figured squared things. Still, that didn't stop him from wanting to gamble again.Just a few days later, he found Zachary and even brought what he considered a fine cigar.As for

    Outside the Sanders factory, several trucks were parked at the entrance. Sarah followed Manager Sullivan and Mr. Lambert, watching the unloading process. "Manager Sullivan, all this new equipment has arrived today, right from the headquarters' stock, and it's too late to ship from Germany now," Sarah observed, her voice serious.Mr. Lambert smiled, "I didn't expect you to handle this so quickly, Miss Sanders. It's only been a few days since you went to headquarters to file a complaint, and you've already got the equipment here.""It's all for the good of the factory," Sarah replied, her face still stern. "So, Manager Sullivan, the factory can operate normally now, right? Getting the production line back up is inevitable."Manager Sullivan's expression wasn't much happier; he hadn't expected Sarah to pull this off so quickly. He forced a smile, "Of course."As the equipment was moved into the factory, Manager Sullivan returned to his office, wiping sweat from his brow with his handk

    Sarah was puzzled. "An explosion at such a critical moment would make anyone suspicious, wouldn't it? It looks like someone's trying to cover something up."Zachary nodded, his face showing disdain. "You're not the only one who thought so. But Old Mr. Wilson presented the last batch of drugs from their factory, which were supposed to be delivered to hospitals. The tests came back clean, and they claimed the explosion was due to a mishandling of ingredients."Sarah raised an eyebrow. "And everyone just bought that?""Yes, everyone did.""So, you want to prove the explosion wasn't an accident and use that to bring down the Wilson family?" Sarah asked softly.Zachary's face paled; he shook his head slightly. "It's not just that. I want to do more, but..."Sarah shrugged, as if she was used to this kind of talk. "Let me guess, the timing isn't right yet?"Zachary looked at her sincerely. "Sarah, I'm really glad you came to help me with my wounds. When the time is right, I'll come to

    Sarah didn't respond to Zachary's earlier words—she simply moved with even more care as she cleaned and bandaged his wound. Her eyes stayed fixed on the task at hand, but her expression was unreadable.Zachary, watching her in silence, gave a soft laugh. "You do care about me, Sasa. No matter what you say, you're not as heartless as you pretend to be."Sarah shook her head, her voice calm but cool. "You're overthinking it. We're both from East Coast—I just don't want to see you die. Besides, you're getting engaged to Miss Wilson in just over half a month. I’m clear of our positions. So please, don't say things like that again."Zachary's face changed instantly. He knew she was right—his engagement to Vivian was a chasm between them, one that he couldn't just leap across. Not while the truth remained buried.That engagement wasn't just a label. It was a shield. A smokescreen. A compromise he'd made to protect Sarah. But knowing she believed it, that it stood between them, only deepe

    Charlie felt a chill run down his spine from that single glance. Considering her status, he dared not push any further. "That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you to figure out."He fled the scene, leaving Sarah alone in the room.After washing up, she lay on the bed and checked her emails. Her cousin had sent her updates on the construction progress at Pine Mist Island.Once she finished handling her affairs, Sarah tucked herself under the covers and closed her eyes, trying to sleep, but rest eluded her.Her mind was filled with what Charlie had said about Zachary being injured. He was hurt, and she had no idea how serious the wound was.If it was severe, he would need hospital treatment, which would certainly leave a record and expose his location.If he didn't want his whereabouts known, he would have to treat the injury himself at home.But that wound...Sarah couldn't calm her thoughts. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.Under the bright moonlight, a figu

    After the doctor left, Charlie yanked out his IV and clambered off the bed, urging Zachary, "Let's get out of here. This place just drains you dry."Zachary, indifferent since his injuries were feigned, asked, "Your injuries alright?"Charlie, ever so casual about his resilience, boasted, "Ah, I've been roughed up worse before. Just give me a couple of days to rest at home, and I'll be as good as new."With unresolved matters and a longing to see Sarah, Zachary reluctantly set aside his desires. "Then you head back. Call me if you need anything."Charlie, sensing something off, gently tugged at Zachary's suit and noticed his white shirt stained with fresh blood. "Zach, you're hurt!"Zachary's lips were pale, his voice dry. "Yeah.""I'll get the doctor to bandage you up," Charlie said, moving to leave."No need," Zachary stopped him quickly, not wanting to expose his whereabouts by registering at the hospital."What about your wound?""I have a first aid kit at home. It's just

    Zachary dragged the unconscious Charlie to the clinic, exacerbating Charlie's injuries as his back scraped against the small stones on the road.When Charlie woke up in the clinic, his howls filled the room. "It's killing me! Where's the doctor? Give me some anesthesia. I'd rather be out cold!"The nurse, irritated by his constant demands, was about to lose her patience when Zachary entered the room. Seeing him, Charlie momentarily forgot his pain and burst into tears. "Bro, did you save me? From now on, you're like a brother to me."Zachary responded indifferently, "Just focus on healing."As the nurse changed Charlie's bandages, she couldn't help but blush at Zachary's rugged, yet undeniably handsome appearance, even slightly disheveled from the fight."Damn it, get out! Are you doing this on purpose, you wretch? Trying to kill me?" Charlie slapped her, swelling her face, as he misunderstood her distracted clumsiness for malice.Zachary frowned, saying nothing. Although he disl

    With an agile flip through the air, Zachary caught sight of Charlie sneaking a peek from behind a haystack, his sleazy demeanor perfectly deserving of a beating. The thought of what this scoundrel had done to Sarah intensified Zachary's fury, already heightened by the fierce combat.On the other side, the casino manager watched in rage as his men were effortlessly knocked down by Zachary. Cursing loudly, he shouted, "Damn it, what's the story with this kid?"Seeing some of his underlings still looking for an opportunity to strike, his anger boiled over. "Are you all brainless? Attack him all at once; I refuse to believe he can fight off everyone!"Those still standing and those who had managed to get back up exchanged glances and charged at Zachary with renewed ferocity.Zachary's sharp eyes flashed with disdain. Without moving, his fist met an attacker's face at an extraordinarily tricky angle.The attacker's pained expression froze mid-air, and when he hit the ground, dust flew
