Chapter 192

Author: Summer Knowles
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,

    "I'm here to discuss donating new medical equipment to the center," Zachary looked at James. "Mr. Chancer, are you here to collect Lucy, or just visiting?"James lowered his eyes. "Just visiting my sister.""Finished then?" Zachary said coolly.James gritted his teeth. "Yes. Your timing is perfect, Mr. Reynolds.""Then you should leave." Zachary glanced at the director.The director quickly said, "Mr. Chancer, we'll take good care of your sister, don't worry."James saw the legal team among Zachary's group. If they discovered anything suspicious, he'd never get Lucy out.He nodded to Lucy but noticed she was staring at Zachary.Lucy blushed at the sight of him. His refined looks and elevated status had fueled countless fantasies of them together.These feelings showed as she approached him. "Mr. Reynolds, I...""Director, we have business to discuss. Perhaps show Miss Chancer to her room?" Zachary said coldly.Lucy froze. The director motioned for staff to lead her away, but

    Some patients shouted at her, "Are you the new horse? I'm a white horse - what breed are you?""There's someone behind you, you know. She's clinging to your back."Just hearing this covered her in cold sweat. Even in her room she found no peace - all the patients were screaming. She felt close to breaking.She told the doctors and nurses countless times she wasn't mentally ill, but it was useless.Her psychiatric evaluation showed bipolar disorder and paranoid delusions, so the nurses treated her like any other patient.That night, after violently injuring a nurse, Lucy was put in a straitjacket. With her hands bound, she was miserable.She'd never experienced anything like this. Why were the doctors and nurses treating her this way when her brother had arranged everything?She couldn't stomach the medication or even the food.In the cafeteria, she flipped her tray, spilling food everywhere, then shoved away the orderly who came to clean up.A doctor approached with medication

    Sarah knew exactly how bad Lucy's situation was.While James had sent people to care for Lucy, Zachary's staff ensured she was treated like any other patient.Working in her office, Sarah was puzzled when a courier called her name.Opening the package, she found a photo Zachary had secretly taken last night - her sleeping peacefully while his hand stroked her hair.Blushing, she tucked the photo in her drawer just as a text arrived from Zachary: "Got it?"She replied, "Yes, why send it by courier when..." we'll see each other after work."Couldn't wait." Sarah felt warmth spread through her chest. They were acting like college sweethearts - childish but happy.Was this what the honeymoon phase felt like? She'd never experienced it. With James, she'd performed a one-woman show. This was so much sweeter.That evening, Zachary came as promised.Mia bounced into the car, having noticed the pink bubble around them.Zachary handed ice cream to both her and Sarah. "Oh, I got one too

    "You're hurt,” he said softly, his voice tinged with concern.Dark, heavy clouds split open with a blinding flash of lightning, thunder rumbling. Sarah flinched and pressed herself into Zachary's arms, trembling.She had always been terrified of thunderstorms.Zachary held her close, one arm wrapped around her waist, his other hand gently stroking her hair.She didn't notice the flicker of guilt and subtle anxiety in his eyes.Sarah breathed in his comforting scent, feeling completely secure. He must be apologizing for not reaching her sooner during the storm.The next morning, the night's rain had completely vanished. Golden sunlight radiated intense warmth, as if the previous night's tempest had never occurred.Sarah opened her amber eyes to find the bed empty. The pillow was still warm - he had left quite some time ago.Dressed and ready, she walked into the kitchen. Breakfast was already prepared, a small note beside her plate."Good morning, I've gone to work."Below the

    The girl nodded silently.Sarah was leaving her office when James called. She didn't want to talk and immediately hung up.Mia and Zachary had already departed for the auction. Sarah knew the walk from campus to her apartment was brief.As she approached her building, a car pulled up. The window lowered, revealing Charlotte, who called out urgently: "Miss Sanders, grandfather has collapsed!"Sarah's heart raced. "What?!""Get in!"Without hesitation, Sarah jumped into Charlotte's car. Perhaps those persistent calls from James had been about this emergency, though she'd dismissed them earlier.At the hospital, James stood slumped against the doorway while nurses moved in and out of his father's room.She approached him, brow furrowed. "What happened to your father?"James looked haggard, a flash of unease crossing his eyes. "The butler called. I'm not entirely sure."Charlotte watched their interaction, her fists clenched, her mind seemingly elsewhere.A nurse emerged, report

    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

    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
