Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 160
Sarah exhaled, fixing Lucy with a deadly stare as cold as a frozen pool. "That was part of my divorce agreement with James. Watch your words, or you might not live to regret them!"She pressed the office intercom button. "Security, please come up.""What? Are you threatening to kill me? Fine! Mom, Charlotte, did you hear that? This witch just threatened to kill me!" Lucy screamed.Sarah stood up in disgust and slapped her. "Are you done?""You dare hit me?" Lucy glared at her, seething with rage."I'm trying to knock some sense into you. Now get out!"Mrs. Chancer covered her mouth in shock before launching into a tirade. "You worthless woman! How dare you hit my daughter! You'll pay for this!""You hit me!" She lunged at Sarah.Sarah stepped back and warned sharply, "Want to get arrested too?"At those words, Lucy finally backed off. Of course she didn't want to be arrested! Once was humiliating enough - she couldn't face it again.She'd already become a laughingstock among

Mia clenched her fists, her voice trembling, “It's Sarah...""Yes, it's Sarah. She reaches out to you, and you climb into the boat. The boat drifts on the sea, the wind carrying you far away. Can you remember why you're on the water?""I... I'm looking for someone.""Good. You found them - they're beside you now. There are two people with you: Sarah and the person you're looking for."Mia's brows furrowed. "No, there's only one person."Sarah paused but quickly adjusted, "Alright, you haven't found that person. Your boat continues drifting. You notice many boats appearing, all moving toward your small boat. What do you think they want?""To kill!" Mia's voice turned shrill. "They want to kill people!""Now you smell something fragrant coming from one of the boats. As they get closer, you realize they mean no harm. Instead, they kindly share their caught fish with you."Mia's fists loosened slightly. "Yes, I see it.""Sarah disappears. You're alone in the boat now. What do you

Since leaving the police station last night, James hadn't gone home. Instead, he'd come to the bar, at first just sitting and staring into space. As the crowd grew, he started ordering drinks.He knew without question who had called the police on him. But what he couldn't understand was: had Sarah really become so heartless?He could remember countless moments of Sarah's forgiving and gentle nature - no matter what he did, she would always help him kindly, never objecting.Perhaps he'd never known the real Sarah. He couldn't believe those eyes now held no trace of warmth, but reality forced him to accept it.He'd never felt so torn before, caught between Charlotte and Sarah.On the day of the divorce, he hadn't felt this way at all. He'd brought this on himself.At the entrance, a woman linked arms with her friend. "Lindsey, what have you been up to lately? We've invited you so many times - you're such a diva!""Tonight's on me! To make up for it!"As she walked in, she spotted

Charlotte's face fell as she rushed to support James. "What are you doing?"What humiliation - her fiancé knocking on another woman's door right in front of her."Not leaving." James reeked of alcohol, his face flushed, stubbornly refusing to move."This is Miss Sanders’s home. Please come to your senses," Charlotte's voice grew heavy.But being a woman, she struggled with James's height and weight as he clung to Sarah's door.Soon Charlotte's arms gave out from exhaustion, and James crashed to the floor, still unconscious, muttering, "Sarah, open the door! Open up!""James! Look at me - do you know who I am?" Charlotte's voice rose as she stared at him coldly.Clearly, there was no reasoning with a drunk man.James ignored her completely, just banging on the door and calling Sarah's name.Charlotte remembered similar scenes from their past - how many times had James called her name in drunken desperation? He used to call out for her during those sleepless nights.She stared

Her words had worked - the irritating knocking finally stopped, followed by the sound of the elevator. James was gone at last.Charlotte brought James home and dumped him on the bed.She could no longer contain her fury. To be humiliated like that in front of that woman!Sarah must be feeling so smug right now!But she wouldn't give up. James was hers!A few days later, Sarah submitted her paper to the Psychology Journal. It would probably take about a week to hear back.As she was sketching notes on paper, a pop-up news window appeared on her computer. She moved to close it.But then Zachary's face appeared. He was giving an interview, looking handsome and dignified on screen, radiating quiet confidence and authority.She found herself thinking of his words at the birthday gala, about liking her.Her pen pressed harder against the paper, and without realizing it, she had filled the entire notebook page with Zachary's name.When the news ended, she looked down and blushed at

As Lucy left, a smirk played across her face - she'd heard everything.After classes ended, Zachary came to pick up Mia, and Sarah joined them for the ride home.Since his birthday gala, they'd grown closer. Though neither had put their feelings into words, the spark between them was undeniable.Especially with Mia playing cupid at every opportunity."Sarah, my brother keeps calling just to ask about you. When I ask why he doesn't call you himself, he clams up. He's just too shy!" Mia teased."That's ridiculous," Zachary feigned annoyance."No, it's not!" Mia leaned forward from the backseat, whispering loudly in Zachary's ear. "Want to know Sarah's secret?"Sarah looked puzzled - what secret could she possibly have?“Tell me,” Zachary said with a hint of amusement.Mia wiggled her eyebrows. "When I visited Sarah's office today, she was writing something - your name, over and over again!"Sarah's eyes widened as she reached back to cover Mia's mouth, her cheeks burning. "Stop

But she wasn't sure. Wasn't sure if Zachary really intended to be with her.Even though she understood his feelings and had heard him say he liked her, that didn't mean they could actually be together. After all, she was... a divorced woman.This thought made her expression fall, the earlier warmth doused like flame under ice water.Downstairs, Zachary had no idea about Sarah's doubts. He only thought the almost-kiss had been too brief. As he drove away, even with the air conditioning on full blast, he still felt flushed.Sarah barely slept that night and remained distracted at work the next day. Before hearing back from the Psychology Journal, she received some disturbing news.Professor Wells called, his tone unusually serious. "Sarah, have you shown your paper to anyone else?"Sarah found the question odd. After thinking, she replied, "No, Professor. I only sent it to the journal and you."Professor Wells was silent for a long while before sighing. "Sarah, I believe you, but

"Do you really not understand what I'm talking about? Let me ask more plainly, did you write this paper yourself?" Sarah stared directly at Grace, watching for her reaction.But Grace avoided her gaze, turning away pretending to get water. "Of course I wrote it. It took me over a month."Sarah pressed on, "I wrote this paper in two weeks. Now it appears under your name. I submitted it to the Psychology Journal a few days ago - before the review was even complete, I saw the university announcement. Your paper is identical to mine, even the title is the same. More interestingly, even the references and footnotes are unchanged, and the research direction was developed through discussions with Jane. Don't you think I deserve an explanation?"Grace held her water cup, looking at Sarah arrogantly. “Miss Sanders, even if you're the university's favorite, even if you reported the psychology competition and brought in Jane Lawrence. But let me be clear - I published this, and I wrote it. Now

This time she used subconscious therapy again, but without including herself in Mia's mental landscape.Melvin had offered his office for Mia's therapy sessions. Sarah dimmed the lights.With Mia settled on the couch, just like at the university, they began."Mia, close your eyes. Imagine you're in a vast desert, surrounded by endless sand. In the distance, a tornado rushes toward you.""You feel gentle breezes, warm sunlight on your skin. You're comfortable, just growing tired, so tired you sink into the soft sand..."Mia's closed eyes relaxed, her furrowed brow smoothing.Sarah continued softly, "Deep in the desert, you see a camel. It runs toward you. Is it seeking help or trying to attack?""Attack. It wants to attack me.""Good. But you dodge it. Then hunters capture you. You scream for help. Someone comes. Who is it?"Mia's hands clenched. "Sarah.""No, not Sarah. Someone else. Who?" Sarah pressed.Mia's arms trembled with tension, but she insisted, "It's Sarah."Sara

He needed to take that step, to show Melvin he could protect Sarah."Could you take Mia with you?" Zachary asked seriously. "Her condition is more stable when you're around."Sarah nodded. She'd wanted to bring Mia anyway but wasn't sure if Zachary would agree."Okay. Melvin says we're leaving tomorrow morning. Bring Mia early, I don't think he'll refuse." Though Sarah wasn't entirely confident.Zachary kissed her nose. "I haven't kept my promise yet. I said I'd talk to Melvin, but now you're leaving before I could."Sarah cupped his face in her hands, smiling. "Maybe he's rushing because he knows you won't give up.""Sarah, trust me. I'll convince Melvin." He wouldn't surrender."I know."Zachary gazed into her eyes with burning intensity. "Sasa…” He stopped himself, swallowing his words.Before Sarah could ask, his lips found hers.He held her tight, as if trying to merge her into himself. There was a metallic taste between their lips.Sarah lost herself in this ocean of

Tears sprang to Sarah's eyes. "Zachary! What are you doing?"He whispered against her ear, his voice icy, "Why didn't you tell me? Couldn't you even make one phone call? Did you want to leave me?"Sarah looked at him, helpless but determined. "No, I don't want to go."Zachary released her and walked to the bed.Sarah sighed with relief, moving to sit on the edge of the bed, her emotions in turmoil."Then why didn't you tell me?"Sarah turned away, whispering, "I was afraid I'd cry."Without seeing him, she could be strong and brave, fearless.But one look at him made her want to depend on him completely. She wasn't even sure she could follow her cousin's wishes anymore.Zachary held her tight, breathing in the fresh scent of her hair, unsure whether to smile or maintain his stern expression.Finally, his cold facade cracked. Seeing her lips still red from his earlier kiss, he leaned in again.Sarah wrapped her arms around his neck, heat rising from her throat to her face unt

That short distance felt like miles. Knowing it would be hard to see Zachary again after she left, Sarah turned and buried herself in his chest one last time, savoring the moment.Back home, Uncle Shawn had left. Melvin sat on the couch, his face cold. Seeing her, he gave a bitter smile, "I know he was upstairs."Sarah dropped the pretense and sat beside Melvin, cautiously asking, "Why do you hate Zachary so much?""Hate? No, I despise him. I'm sick of him." His calm tone barely contained the underlying fury.Sarah was confused. In her memory, Melvin shouldn't even know Zachary. Where did this hatred come from?"Why?" she pressed.Melvin poured himself some tea, his gaze distant. "Sarah, Zachary's dangerous. Being close to him puts you at risk. You should end it before you're in too deep. Otherwise, you'll regret it."Sarah shook her head in frustration. "You can't just say he's dangerous without explaining why."Melvin slammed the table. "No explanations. We're leaving tomorro

Outside the police station, James watched Charlotte emerge, exhaustion etched on his face.The revelation still stunned him. He'd suspected everyone - Lucy, his mother - but never Charlotte. He'd been too confident in his understanding of her, too certain her kindness was genuine."James," Charlotte's voice quavered, her eyes red-rimmed as she reached for him. He stepped back, irritation clear in his movements."Just get in the car," he said flatly.During the drive home, Charlotte couldn't bear his silence. "James, please. I never wanted to hurt Sarah. I just wanted to... I mean, nothing really happened!""Were you behind those social media posts?" His voice was ice."I only shared the truth," she dabbed at her face with a tissue. "I know it was wrong. I won't do anything like that again. Everything I did was because I love you so much."James kept driving, his jaw set, ignoring her words.That evening, Sarah's phone lit up with a call from Mia."Sarah?" Mia's voice trembled.
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 227
"I can't believe Sarah has this kind of influence!" Lucy paced her room, struggling to process the revelation. All this time, she'd dismissed Sarah as a gold-digger after her brother's money."An heiress? Really?" She scoffed. "I thought her inheritance went to Melvin when her parents died."James slammed his hand on the desk. "Have you learned nothing? First Zachary Reynolds, and now the Sanders family? You won't rest until you've destroyed everything we've built!"He massaged his temples, regretting his decision to sign her out of Pyschiatric Hospital. If he'd known she'd cause this much chaos..."They started it!" Lucy protested. "Making ridiculous threats about ruining us in minutes. I couldn't just stand there!""Enough!" James snapped, his patience finally breaking. Lucy recoiled at his tone, fleeing to her room.Alone in his study, James stared at his buzzing phone - the Garnetts again, undoubtedly demanding updates about Charlotte. As if the company's crisis wasn't enough

Sarah's nose tingled with emotion as she leaned against the window, laughing softly, "You're acting like we haven't seen each other in ages.""It's been three days. Haven't you missed me?""I already told you," Sarah paused, then added, "Yes, I have."She longed to touch his face, rest against his chest, hear his strong heartbeat, hold his warm hand.Instead, she could only press her hand against the cold window, unable to bridge the four-story gap to reach his outstretched palm."Can't reach," she whispered.Zachary opened the passenger door, pulling out a pink teddy bear, “Do you like it?”"It's lovely, but I can't get it," Sarah said sadly."Try finding some string," Zachary suggested.Sarah searched everywhere, first her room, then the bathroom, nearly getting caught. Finally, she found some string.She lowered it from the fourth floor and pulled up the tied teddy bear, feeling like it symbolized her own situation.She was the one tied up, with Melvin holding the strings

Sarah understood completely. Earlier attempts to help Mia feel safe - trips to amusement parks, movie theaters, and various entertainment venues with Zachary - had shown little success.Though Mia's condition had stabilized, Sarah had questioned her treatment approach. They'd attempted hypnotherapy several times, but touching deeper memories triggered either episodes or blackouts. She hadn't dared use any more aggressive methods."Psychological intervention isn't about completely fixing patients," Scott explained. "It's about subtle suggestions. Like solving a mystery - providing small clues until they piece everything together."Sarah nodded thoughtfully, "Professor, would recreating the traumatic scene be too triggering? Has this approach worked in other countries?""Never heard of success with that. Don't attempt it," Scott warned."I understand. Thank you, Professor." Sarah rose from her seat."Anytime. Keep in touch if you need more guidance."At the restaurant's private ro

Sarah pulled out a stack of papers from her bag - Mia's treatment reports.Scott looked through them briefly before setting them aside. "Jane mentioned this to me in M. Country. Mia developed psychological trauma from a kidnapping several years ago. That's not unusual. What's rare is her subconscious time-space disorientation when triggered.""Based on her condition then, she likely had no one to trust. After witnessing violent scenes, her subconscious protected her by blocking those memories. However, when triggered, she returns to that state. The difference now is your presence. I see from the report that you and Jane theorized it's perception disorder - when feeling unsafe, she pulls you, her most trusted person now, into past scenes. While possible, your treatment approach has a fundamental flaw - it's actually a paradox.""A flaw?" Sarah looked at Scott puzzled."Yes. If she had no one to trust after the kidnapping, yet under stress chooses to pull you into that scenario - don
