LOGINInside the study.Leon had just finished his session. It was nothing more than guided psychological suggestion.Sarah stood up, gathered her things, and prepared to leave.“Stay for dinner?” Leon asked.Sarah shot him a cold glance and shook her head lightly.“No need. I’m sick of eating here.”“Sasa,” Leon said, frowning. “Do you really have to be against me?”“Don’t call me that,” she snapped. “It makes me sick.”Leon burst out laughing.“Zachary can call you that, but I can’t?”“That’s my business,” Sarah replied flatly. “It has nothing to do with you. Stop interfering.”Just moments earlier, she had considered whether she should tell Mandy that there were no cameras in the study. But after calming down, she decided against it.If Mandy realized she had been manipulated, it would only hurt her more.“You’re not afraid I’ll lose my temper and lock you up again?” Leon raised a brow.Sarah let out a mocking laugh.“Go ahead. Try.”“Last time, everyone knew you were here,”
Sarah let out a short, mocking laugh.“You don’t get to control Mandy's life.”Leon’s eyes narrowed slightly.“Sarah, the ones who sent her here in the first place were Zachary and Melvin. If anyone was swapped out, it was you. Everything she’s endured was suffered in your place. By that logic, you don’t get to control her either.”Sarah shook her head.“You and I are not the same.”She spoke slowly, deliberately.“Cause and effect still matter to me. She chose to alter herself to look like me. That was the cause. Helping me was the effect. As for you… you’ve wronged her without cause or grievance. What kind of karma is that?”Her gaze hardened.“Leon, one day, everything you take pride in will destroy you.”For the first time, Leon truly lost his temper.“I did all of this for you,” he snapped. “I tried every possible way to get close to you.”Sarah laughed coldly. She reached into her bag and took out a dagger, letting it rest loosely in her hand.“Then what if I said I want t
Seeing that Mandy hadn’t spoken for a long time, Sarah continued.“What I don’t understand is this. How did he find out? Aside from you and me, no one else should have known that you were the one who opened the computer. You could have denied it completely.”Mandy let out a bitter smile.“It wasn’t that simple. He told me there were cameras in the study. And also…”She hesitated, then explained what Julian had said about fingerprints.Sarah’s expression darkened with every word.“I wiped everything down after that night. You should trust me. There wouldn’t be any fingerprints left.”She paused, then added firmly,“As for this so-called surveillance, I don’t believe there were cameras in the study. Especially not ones directly connected to the H-Country headquarters.”Her gaze sharpened.“Before that, answer me this. Did you have any sexual interaction with him in the study?”Mandy’s face flushed. She couldn’t deny it. She nodded, then hurried to explain.“He forced me.”She swa
Melvin’s face darkened instantly.Sarah had never told him any of this. Not then, and certainly not now—at least, never the full, ugly truth.Zachary offered no defense. He couldn't. The facts were a weight he had to carry.A faint, knowing smile played on Old Mr. Wilson’s lips before he signaled for Anthony to wheel him away, leaving the tension to simmer in his wake.---Melvin and Zachary walked out of the venue in a heavy, suffocated silence. The driver was still a few minutes away.“I’m sorry,” Zachary said at last, the words sounding hollow even to him.No matter how many amends he tried to make, the past remained an unbridgeable chasm. Only now did he truly grasp that the wound in Sarah’s heart hadn't just been caused by the kidnapping. The rot had started at the very beginning, the moment something sincere was poisoned by his own cold calculations. It was a jagged bone lodged in the throat—impossible to swallow, and impossible to spit out.Melvin’s expression remained g
“Zachary,” Old Mr. Wilson said slowly, “there are things from long ago that you wouldn’t understand. The grudges of the older generation have nothing to do with you. Whether I tell you or not is entirely my choice.”He smiled faintly, as if amused by Zachary’s impatience.“If you are truly curious, then wait until your grandfather wakes up and ask him yourself. That special medication you mentioned, wasn’t it already shipped in from overseas? Zachary, even while I was unconscious, there were still things I knew.”The implication was unmistakable.Melvin had no patience for family diplomacy. He let out a cold laugh.“The Wilson Group really is impressive. Barely holding on for all those years. And the moment you wake up, you start selling off your entire private collection just to claw back a chance at survival. The Reynolds Group never even needed an opportunity like that.”Old Mr. Wilson’s gaze turned sharp.“Boy, this isn’t your place to speak.”“Mr. Wilson,” Melvin replied even
Then where was Henry’s body?“Melvin,” Sarah said seriously, “if Dr. Xavier really killed Henry, the body would almost certainly be hidden at his workplace.”Melvin understood immediately.“I’ll have people start investigating his work unit right away.”He was about to hang up when another thought struck him.“By the way, Mindy is attending a charity performance the day after tomorrow. That might be an opening.”“I understand,” Sarah replied.---Early the next morning, the television news played continuously in the background.“Reports confirm that a 16th century porcelain piece, believed to be a rare heirloom, appeared at an underground auction last night. Its ink detailing has been attributed to a master painter. The final bid reached six hundred million…”“Following the porcelain sale, a number of rare paintings and calligraphy pieces surfaced, all from the same mysterious collector. Together, the lots fetched a staggering total of three billion…”“After regaining consciou
