Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 188
James finally looked at Charlotte. She’s right, what was wrong with him?Why was he so obsessed? He loved Charlotte - the woman he'd always wanted was right beside him. What else could he want?He pulled Charlotte into his arms, breathing in her light jasmine perfume.Suddenly, a memory flashed: Sarah walking into their room, quietly bringing him tea, her hair still damp from the shower, water droplets on her nightgown making her look irresistible.He saw himself coldly taking the tea, ignoring her.Sarah playfully leaning her head on his shoulder, deliberately letting him smell her hair. "Do you like my new shampoo?" she'd asked excitedly.He'd pushed her away emotionlessly. "Don't bother me. Learn your place," before heading to his study."I'm sorry," James blurted out.Charlotte startled, thinking he was apologizing to her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, tearful. "James, I don't blame you. I love you so much. Please don't let me down."James snapped back to reality

She was just a university counselor who'd moved on after her divorce.Suddenly, she laughed at herself. When had she become so insecure? She used to be confident and vibrant like Mia, but now...Zachary sat down, putting the apple back in her hand, looking directly into her eyes. "This isn't a game. I'm serious. I thought you could feel that."His gaze burned with intensity. "Sarah, tell me, what kind of person do you think you are?"Sarah stumbled over her words. "I...""What kind of person?" Zachary kept staring, as if trying to burn through her defenses."Like James's mother said - a divorced woman with a bad reputation." Sarah laughed bitterly.Zachary shook his head, his eyes turning cold. "Do you believe that?"Believe it?Why should she?James was the one with the bad reputation.Society was always harder on women. Divorced women faced more prejudice than men. When Mrs. Chancer said those things, she'd wanted to ask if she wasn't a woman herself."Of course not," Sar

"Ahem, Mia..." Sarah said awkwardly.The voice on the phone cut off abruptly. Seconds later, Sarah's phone rang."Sarah, are you feeling better? I was just joking earlier, don't take it seriously," Mia said timidly.Sarah laughed softly. "Much better. The fever's gone.""That's good, that's good. I'll hang up now."After her IV finished and she'd eaten her porridge, she took a nap. When she woke, she found Zachary dozing, his chin propped on his hand.He must be exhausted after bringing her here at dawn and watching over her so long.His sleeping face looked softer, less sharp. His eyelashes were long and thick. She reached out to touch them - so soft.She traced his nose, his cheeks, his lips that had kissed her several times.She'd wanted to do this since that night when he'd touched her lips.Suddenly his eyes opened. As she tried to pull back, he caught her hand. "Weren't you asleep?" she asked, breathing quickly."Light sleeper." He'd been awake since she opened her eye

In the study, the tense atmosphere made Zachary uncomfortable. William sat at his mahogany desk, working on his art, not even glancing up.After what felt like forever, he finished and set down his brush. "What's been keeping you so busy lately?""Just business matters.”"Business? Seems more like romance. I don't oppose relationships, but you should know about this woman's history." William looked concerned.Zachary smiled wryly. "Grandfather, I know Sarah better than anyone. Don't listen to gossip."William chuckled. "How would you know?"Zachary shrugged. "If nobody had complained to you, why this sudden summons?""Indeed, someone sent me some troubling emails."Zachary remained silent. William probably didn't believe the rumors. He was likely just testing him."Your personal life is your business. Make your own choices. You can go." William waved him away.After the academic scandal, Sarah signed with the Psychology Journal, publishing her research.This caused quite a s

James took a deep breath. "Yes, they took her daughter.""What now?""Head back first."James was at his wit's end. At home, his mother would question him endlessly, and even if he stayed away, her calls were constant.Worse still, he'd discovered the Reynolds were making moves, even targeting Chancer company stocks.Everything seemed inevitable. He put down his phone.At the university counseling center, Professor Wells brought flowers, and Dean Larson offered congratulations. Sarah's paper in the Psychology Journal was a milestone for the university.As she carried the flowers out the main gate, Scarlett and Steven joined her."Sarah, let's go to the resort!" Scarlett waved some tickets excitedly.Sarah knew the place - Scarlett had mentioned it at least five times before. The resort was less than a year old but already popular with VIPs and international guests.Sarah glanced at Zachary, knowing he must have arranged the tickets.Seeing her hesitate, Mia pulled her toward

But Sarah leaned against him, poking his face with her finger. "Hey? You're Mr. Reynolds! Why do you have two noses?"She tried to focus on his nose but couldn't control her vision, growing dizzier. She collapsed against him. "Zachary likes me.""What did you say?" he asked softly, his eyes full of tenderness as he steadied her.No matter what he asked, Sarah just giggled.He'd been drinking too, but wasn't as drunk as Sarah. Still clear-headed, he arranged for staff to take the other three to their rooms. He wanted to get Sarah to bed too - it was past one AM and getting cold.He helped her to her room and tucked her in. As he turned to leave, she grabbed his hand tightly."Don't go, don't go..."Zachary's heart ached. He sat on the bed's edge. "Okay, I'll stay.""Zachary, Zachary, Zach..." she mumbled, tossing restlessly. He adjusted her covers. "I'm here. What is it?""Like..." Sarah murmured.Zachary leaned closer. "What did you say?"He heard her whisper his name repeat

His eyes softened, taking in the faint perfume lingering in the room.He lay back on the bed, surrounded by Sarah's scent on the sheets.Sarah's heart raced as she stared at her panicked reflection, her face flushed. Trying to remember last night brought only blanks.She splashed cold water on her face, finally calming down.Quickly dressing, she discovered red marks on her neck!What would Scarlett and Mia say when they saw? And Steven would never let her hear the end of it!Her damp hair matched her disheveled state. She wanted to escape but couldn't avoid Zachary's gaze.She couldn't calm down, her cheeks burning hot enough to fry an egg. She'd spent the night in Zachary's arms.Leaving the bathroom, she found Zachary still in bed, watching her with an amused smile.As she tried to flee, he caught her wrist."Why are you running?” he whispered teasingly.Sarah frowned. What was he doing? Looking up, she met his deep brown eyes, full of warmth."I was drunk last night! I

Before Lucy's sentencing, her lawyer presented a psychiatric evaluation diagnosing her with severe paranoid delusion and bipolar disorder.Instead of prison time, she was committed to a psychiatric facility for treatment and monitoring.After the verdict, Sarah met with Grace.Grace laughed bitterly. "I knew it wouldn't be that simple."Sarah shook her head. "We did everything we could. Even in a psychiatric hospital, she'll have to live as a patient and undergo treatment. That might be harder for her.""Miss Sanders, did you send my daughter to her grandmother's?" Grace asked anxiously.Sarah nodded. "Yes. Behave well and you might get parole. I'll keep an eye on your daughter and help if needed."Grace nearly cried with gratitude. "Miss Sanders, thank you."At City Psychiatric Hospital.A police car delivered Lucy. A black Mercedes waited outside as James entered the director's office.Thirty minutes later, the beaming director showed James out. Police escorted Lucy inside,

On the mountain, Sarah regained consciousness feeling sore all over. The cold made her shiver repeatedly.The driver hadn't locked her up - there weren't any buildings here to shelter from the storm anyway.He'd just set up a crude rain shelter and tied her to a tree.She was forced to sit at the tree's base, tightly bound to it with rope.The rain-washed mountain paths were pure mud. She was soaked through.Exposed to the height and fierce storm, she sneezed several times.She tried to break free, but it was impossible.The kidnapper, wrapped head to toe in rain gear, watched her mockingly. "Don't waste your energy."He crouched in front of her, tapping a cold knife against her face. "Ever heard of a hangman's knot?"Sarah didn't answer, still trying to escape."Guess not. Stop struggling. Haven't you noticed the rope gets tighter the more you fight? Keep it up and you'll strangle yourself."Sarah froze in shock, not daring to move.Though there was a rain shelter above, b

She took out her phone to call a ride, though in this weather it would probably be a long wait.Strangely, she didn't have to wait long. Within five minutes of requesting, she got a response. Must be a cab already in the area.A taxi pulled up, with what appeared to be a mild-mannered driver.Sarah got in and glanced at the driver's ID card, but the text was blurred.The driver, noticing her look, quickly explained: "Left my door open at the convenience store, then the rain came. Must have gotten wet then. Sorry about that, miss."Sarah shook her head, trying not to be paranoid. They were almost at Melvin's house, just one intersection away, when they reached the mountain road turnoff.Before she could react, the taxi suddenly swerved toward the mountain. Her face went pale as she heard the rear doors lock with a sharp click."What are you doing?" She forced herself to stay calm.The driver peeled off his disguise. "I just want to take you somewhere. If you cooperate, I won't h

She'd warned her to get rid of that worthless man quickly, but she wouldn't listen, clinging to some naive teenage romance. Now all their efforts were ruined.Sarah was already suspicious, not to mention Zachary.She couldn't figure out how Scarlett had "coincidentally" delivered that video, or what methods were used to obtain it.Only when her assistant delivered the investigation report that afternoon did she realize how thoroughly Zachary had played her.He clearly loved that woman so much he'd even taken Vivian shopping that day to lower her guard. No wonder he'd been so unusually kind about shopping.At this thought, Vivian pulled out the bracelet from her drawer, threw it down and stomped on it furiously.After a moment, she calmed down and picked it up, carefully cleaning it with a handkerchief, checking for damage. She sighed in relief when she found none.She'd lost control again, all because of Sarah.If her grandfather saw her like this, he'd be so disappointed. A Wi

"Did you know about Dan's gambling?" Sarah asked abruptly, changing course."Gambling? No, I didn't.""He owes a million in gambling debts. He was waiting for you to get that money to pay it off. But his creditors ran out of patience. If he can't pay, he might end up dead." Sarah's face remained expressionless.Pain flashed across Amy's eyes. "Miss Sanders, why are you telling me this?""Do you know what the man you love did when faced with death threats? He told his creditors they could sell you and your child to cover his debt. They refused. Later, he made another deal - he'd get a million for exposing your scheme.""Oh. I see.""Maybe the young man you loved three years ago was still pure, full of hope, willing to build a life with you. But these three years turned him into something rotten. He couldn't provide for you or your child, and when faced with danger, his first thought was to sell you both. But Amy, do you remember Henry standing in front of everyone today, trying to
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 583
Sarah let out a soft chuckle. Everyone looked at her confused as she held up her phone. "I called the police while we were still outside. They'll be here any minute. And Henry isn't the only one who needs to face consequences."She fixed her gaze on Amy. Everyone must pay for their choices, she thought. Once you choose a path, you can't dodge responsibility when it's time to face the music.No one can escape justice, and no one can hurt others and walk away unscathed.Amy, who had been tense with fear until now, suddenly laughed as if a weight had lifted. "Sarah, I really admire you.""Oh? Why's that?" Sarah raised an eyebrow."You're truly beautiful - I thought so from the first photo I saw of you. When I was planning to frame you, I wondered if anyone would actually believe you'd be involved with someone like him. But I underestimated people's prejudices. Being rich already turned public sympathy against you. I expected you to lose your temper and lash out at me. But you didn't.

In the office, through the clamor, Dean Larson finally understood the situation and gave Sarah a meaningful look.Sarah understood, stepping out briefly with her phone.No matter what Henry's parents said, Amy remained silent, smiling at the dean while occasionally shooting venomous glances at Henry."Professor Letito, is what Ms. Gabble said true?" Dean Larson frowned.Henry didn't try to hide anything, nodding. "It's all my fault. Amy bears no responsibility.""This appears to be a criminal matter. If Ms. Gabble agrees, we should involve the police. And of course, the school cannot keep a professor like this - Professor Letito will be dismissed," Dean Larson said calmly.Henry's parents froze, not expecting such serious consequences.“No! This is all a misunderstanding. My son didn't break any laws. They were legally married - he's not some criminal!" Henry's mother pleaded.Sarah spoke up, "Ma'am, I must inform you that forcing a woman through violence or coercion is rape. A

Henry's parents looked panicked. "Don't make things up!""You threatened to tell everyone what Henry did to me if I didn't agree to marry him. How else could I have refused?" Amy shouted in rage.Sarah finally understood why Amy had said Henry wasn't fit to be a teacher. But even knowing her story, it didn't justify hurting others.What mattered more to Sarah now was whether Amy would reveal Vivian's involvement.The situation had become a complete spectacle, especially compared to Amy's aggressive behavior days ago.The most shocking twist was how the original victim had become the villain, while the supposed villain was now revealed as the true victim.Sarah remained silent, unsure what to say as she watched people trying to get past Henry to grab Amy, while he desperately held them back.Behind him, Amy swayed unsteadily, clutching her child, suddenly inspiring sympathy in those watching. People seemed to have forgotten her recent actions.Henry's mother slapped him twice, b

Henry's father grew impatient. "What are you waiting for? Pull him away!"Several relatives tried to remove Henry and take Amy away, but Henry, usually so gentle, suddenly exploded with strength, pushing two men down and returning to Amy's side.Sarah noticed Henry's eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.Amy glared at him with hatred, screaming hysterically. "Get out, Henry! Get out of my life forever! Just go!"She screamed as if with her last breath, her rage so intense that even Sarah felt her desperation."I'm sorry, Amy." Henry slowly turned, giving her one last look - the way someone looks at their love for the final time.Sarah watched this strange scene. Henry should be the angry one, so why was he the one feeling guilty?What had happened between them?As she pondered this, several people in the crowd erupted again."I'm the one who wronged Amy! I'm the one who hurt her!" Henry burst into tears."Amy never had an affair! She never betrayed me. I'm the one who vio

None of the watching students dared intervene. They just stood there, most filming with their phones.Professor Letito had been absent during the earlier incidents, but now he stood face to face with Amy.The scene was deeply ironic. Just days ago, Amy had been the aggressive one, playing the victim while painting Henry as the villain.Now the tables had turned, yet Henry looked at Amy with a mix of sympathy and guilt.Something about that look struck Sarah as odd. This situation seemed more complicated than it appeared.The woman's eyes were filled with despair and resignation, nothing like her previous aggressive behavior.Gone was her hunger for money - she seemed to have accepted her fate.Henry's mother continued, "Henry, she wronged you and the whole family. We won't let someone like her get away with this. Your father and I saw the interview - she took your house, our life savings were in there. We're getting everything back, plus compensation!"The woman remained silent
