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. "Scarlett, 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 spotte

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 Professor Jane Lawrence. 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 Professor Lawrence. But let me be clear - I published t

Dean Larson turned to Sarah with a stern expression. "What do you have to say?"Sarah walked toward Grace, facing everyone with conviction. "Plenty! First of all, I have a few questions for Professor Harrison.”"Go ahead!" Grace snapped."How did you choose your research direction?"Grace responded quickly, "Obviously, I reviewed numerous international papers and conference reports before finding my direction.""Wrong," Sarah said with a slight smile."How dare you say I'm wrong! I can show you those reports!"Instead of looking at Grace, Sarah connected her laptop to the projector and displayed her email correspondence with Jane, showing discussions about research direction from a month ago."Actually, any research materials you could find would be outdated. While the general direction might be similar, there are significant differences. My direction came from information shared by my mentor, Jane, after the Paris symposium, which I used with her permission."Grace visibly pa

"Is that a threat?" Sarah scoffed. "I'm seeing Zachary because of Mia.""Whatever the reason, if Zachary and his grandfather don't want you treating Mia anymore, you should just disappear. Stay away from them." Vivian's voice dripped with venom.Sarah narrowed her eyes, suddenly leaning in so close their faces nearly touched. A chill ran down Vivian's spine."Aren't you overstepping? Not everything needs your control, Vivian. Mia's my friend. Of course I'll help when she's in trouble."Vivian sneered. "Don't be ridiculous. Their grandfather and Zachary have found dozens of renowned therapists. You really think you're more qualified? Are you really helping Mia, or using her condition to get close to Zachary?""Shut up. There may be many qualified people, but I've been treating Mia all along. No one knows her condition better than I do. As for Zachary - we're over. I won't go back. You don't need to be so threatened."Vivian burst into mocking laughter. "Me? Threatened? You don't k

Mia calmed slightly at the familiar voice. Her frantic movements slowed, the pillow she'd meant to throw falling to the floor. She stared at Zachary with wary confusion, her guard dropping only when she finally recognized him."Brother?" she tested uncertainly.The worry in Zachary's eyes softened. "Yes, Mia. It's me, your brother."He approached slowly, careful not to startle her, gently removing the cup from her left hand."Mia, look at my face. I'm your brother.""Brother?" she murmured, then her expression twisted. "Liar! You want to kill me, don't you? You want to eat me!" The word "eat" seemed to trigger her deepest terrors.Her face contorted as she crouched down, hugging herself. "Don't eat me, please don't!"Zachary looked at his sister with pain, cautiously placing a hand on her shoulder. "Don't be scared, Mia. I'm here to protect you.""You're lying! You said you'd protect us but never came! Sarah was eaten and you never came! You lied to us!" Mia sobbed hysterically

She left without waiting for Zachary's response, not looking back.At the restaurant, Vivian and Zachary sat at the best window table, their food already served."Zachary, try this!" Vivian said eagerly. "This steak's even better than that Kobe beef we had in Japan."Zachary mechanically cut a piece and took a bite. The meat was indeed good."So," Vivian asked, feigning casualness, "what did Miss Sanders want earlier?"Zachary frowned slightly. "That's private.""Why so hostile? I just care about you. If she needs help, maybe I could assist?" Vivian's voice turned hurt.Zachary put down his cutlery and looked at her coolly. "Actually, there is one thing you could help with.""What is it?"A cold smile played at his lips. "Stay in your lane."Vivian's smile froze, her body tensing. She forced a laugh. "What do you mean?""Nothing at all," Zachary said, taking another bite.After dinner, Vivian dabbed her lips. The meal had been tasteless.She hadn't mentioned the engagement

Sarah looked at Zachary gravely. "Mia's condition is deteriorating. I need to continue her treatment."Zachary's fingers drummed lightly on his desk, disapproval written across his face. "That's...""What? Don't you trust me?" Sarah raised an eyebrow."Of course I trust you. I've never doubted your professional ability. I just..." Just want to prevent what might happen - like you leaving me when you learn the truth.But he'd never tell her that.Sarah knew Zachary well. Something specific was making him hesitate. Those strange photographs? Or that drawing Mia had made?Though she suspected he wouldn't answer, she had to ask. "Tell me why."Zachary froze. "I'm sorry. I can't."He couldn't say anything until he'd figured out his explanation.Sarah gave a bitter laugh. "Is it because of Tina’s incident? Or what happened when Mia had her episode at the school gates? I know you don't believe those online rumors, but I can't think of any reason you'd willingly stop Mia's treatment,

The receptionist barely concealed her frown. Who could she be calling?"I'm at Reynolds Tower. Need to see you."The woman's tone was curt. The receptionist wondered who warranted such directness.Moments later, she watched in shock as the executive elevator whirred into action. The doors opened and Zachary Reynolds himself strode out, heading straight for the woman, his pace quickening. "Sasa, what brings you here?"Sarah didn't return his warmth. "Your office. We need to talk."In his office, Sarah fixed him with a disapproving look. "Mr. Reynolds, I don't know what you're thinking, but I do know you care about Mia. If you care so much, you must realize my therapy is what's best for her."She couldn't understand why he'd suddenly stopped her sessions with Mia, but it had to be connected to Mia's buried memories.Zachary looked at her helplessly. "Sasa, it's not just my decision. It's Grandfather's too. I'm sorry."Sarah stared at him in disbelief. "So because of your grandfat

Three days after leaving Sarah's... that was so long ago.She couldn't imagine how Mia had endured, but the raw marks on her arms told the story.Sarah frowned at Mia's scarred arms. "You silly girl. Doesn't it hurt?"Mia shook her head. "My mind's so chaotic then, I don't even remember doing it. It's like a nightmare - I just wake up and find the scratches.""What kind of nightmare?" Sarah asked worriedly."Someone trying to grab me, saying they'll drink my blood, eat my flesh. I'm so scared."Sarah knew these casual descriptions masked Mia's reality - waking up screaming, probably crying herself hoarse.Mia's shoulders trembled as she spoke."Mia, stop. That's enough," Sarah cut in quickly."Sarah, can you help me?" She buried herself in Sarah's embrace."Of course I will." Sarah patted her shoulder and stroked her forehead.Since she'd come under the pretense of therapy, Mia needed to get to her therapist's office.In the car, she looked back at Sarah longingly. "I'll co

After Shawn and Amanda left, Melvin warned, "Sasa, Sydney won't let this go. Be careful.""I will. Heading to the office?"“Yep. See you at home." Then he left too.Alone at last, Mia threw herself into Sarah's arms. "I've missed you so much! I've been trying to see you, but my grandfather wouldn't let me out. I finally found a way!""Did you sneak out?" Sarah asked, getting some coconut pudding from the fridge."Not this time!" Mia said proudly. "I made a deal with my new therapist.""A deal?"Mia nodded. “My grandfather and brother keep finding therapists, but I couldn't work with any of them. This one's different - I agreed to treatment if he'd bring me here."Sarah looked at her with concern. "Still having nightmares?""Yes. Without you, I'm always panicking. Even at home, my heart races. I just want to lock myself in my room, avoid everyone. But with you, I feel safe. I can talk again." Mia took a bite of pudding.Sarah had always known Mia depended on her - it seemed es

"Sydney," Mia said mockingly, "if you want Sarah to forgive you, it's simple - get on your knees and apologize. Right here, in front of everyone. And promise you'll never bother her again."On her knees?Sydney's eyes widened. Kneel before Sarah? Before that bitch?"Never! I won't kneel to her!"Sarah stepped closer, with a cool smile. "Fine. Then I'll personally see you to a cell. The last person like you is already in prison, and your cousin won't escape either.""You're threatening me!" Sydney's face flushed.Mrs. Blanco turned tearfully to Amanda. "Amanda, look at your niece! We're family - how can she demand Sydney kneel?"Before Amanda could speak, Shawn pulled her back. "Mrs. Blanco, where was this 'family' talk when your daughter was plotting? Since Sarah wants an apology on knees, that's what she'll get. Unless you want Benjamin back in detention? How would Lady White take that?""Uncle! I'm your niece too! Why protect only her?" Sydney's tears started falling."Sydne
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 536
"I see." Old Lady White fixed Sydney with an icy stare. "Benjamin, is this true?""No! Grandmother, please believe me! I'd never do something like this. Sarah's framing me - it's all her plot!" Sydney looked at her grandmother desperately.Benjamin pressed on, "She even warned me on the way to the hospital not to mention her involvement.""You're lying! Benji, look carefully at who's really trying to destroy you!" Sydney turned on Benjamin like a cornered animal."Look at yourself, Sydney," Mia said coldly. "You're acting unhinged. Your cousin's confessed - what's left to deny?""You Reynolds have no place here! This is Sanders family business. Anyone can see Sarah's manipulating everything behind the scenes!"Benjamin shook his head fiercely. "Grandmother, Sydney did this! Now that everything's blown up, she's trying to pin it all on me when she's the real mastermind."Old Lady White's expression grew colder. Finally dropping her facade, she said, "If this was Sydney's scheme
