Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 199
"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

Even though Richard doted on her, Lucy was still his real granddaughter. He could accept his granddaughter being taught a lesson, but he couldn't bear to watch her suffer indefinitely.Sarah stood up, rubbing her numb legs from crouching. "Grandfather, because you've been good to me, I can be lenient. But I'm not sure she'll change her ways."She had given Lucy multiple chances, yet Lucy kept stirring up trouble time and time again.Richard sighed, "Don't worry, once she's out, I'll confine her to the old mansion. I won't let her cause you any more trouble. If there's a next time, I absolutely won't have the nerve to come asking for mercy again."For an elder to plead on behalf of a younger generation was already quite humbling. The fact that he was asking Sarah made it an even bigger decision.If Mrs. Chancer and James hadn't repeatedly come to beg him, crying and showing him videos, he wouldn't have gotten involved at all.Sarah nodded. She could ignore James and Mrs. Chancer,

Mia angrily exclaimed, "The Chancers are so despicable! This must be James and his mother's doing again.""Oh well, never mind that. I'll just have to trouble Mr. Reynolds now," Sarah said with a smile, looking toward Zachary.Seeing her mood brighten, Mia quickly pointed to a box on the table. "Sarah, look at this!"Zachary nodded encouragingly - the box had a distinctly classic appearance.When she opened it, inside was a necklace."This is the necklace my brother got at the auction. Isn't it beautiful? It's called the Heart of the Volcano. I've never seen such a large red diamond!"Beyond the red diamond, what made this necklace special was its design - it was created by the late master jeweler Felman. It had once belonged to a financial tycoon, and now it had somehow appeared at an auction house on the East Coast."It's gorgeous."“Zac, hurry and put it on Sarah!" Mia urged.Zachary picked up the necklace and gently brushed aside Sarah's hair to fasten it. The red diamon

That morning, bombshell news shook the entire media world - James Chancer was getting married again after his divorce.The story had been trending since dawn. Sarah saw the news when she arrived at her psychology counseling office at Adams University.She had barely glanced at her phone screen when a woman entered her office.It was Charlotte!"Miss Garnett, the counseling office is only open to university students," Sarah said coldly.Charlotte smiled graciously, "Miss Sanders, there's no need for such hostility. I'm here to process Lucy's leave of absence.""If you're looking to process a leave of absence, the administrative office is in the second building after you exit this door. I need to work now," Sarah said expressionlessly, lowering her head to organize her things, ignoring Charlotte."Miss Sanders, I've already handled the paperwork. I just passed by to give you something." Charlotte took out a dark red invitation from her bag and placed it on Sarah's desk.The invit

He truly couldn't remember what Sarah's wedding dress had looked like, or how stunning she had been. All he remembered was her face flushed pink as she spoke those words, shy and adorable.His heart constricted painfully. Coming back to the present, he saw Charlotte looking at him with confusion. "James?"James quickly forced a smile, "You look beautiful."Late that night, Sarah had just picked up her phone when she received a call from overseas - it was Jane.“Jane?” she asked puzzled, sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV, which was showing the latest news.“Sarah, my senior colleague is returning to the country tomorrow. I've already told him about you and briefly explained your situation. You can contact him directly when he arrives," Jane's voice was gentle yet firm.The TV was broadcasting news about James and Charlotte's wedding: "According to reports, Dr. Scott Rogers, the psychology PhD from the M. Country, will be returning home soon and will attend this wedding..."

Lucy snorted coldly. She just wanted to confirm Sarah would appear at the wedding. She wanted Sarah to witness her brother marrying another woman with her own eyes - let's see her keep up her act then!Sarah entered the wedding venue, handed over her gift money, and found a random seat among strangers.After sitting down, she casually scanned the room for Scott, whose photo she'd seen in yesterday's news.Many guests were studying Sarah - quite a few had attended her wedding to James, and they couldn't help but gossip about an ex-wife attending her former husband's wedding.Lucy immediately nudged her mother, "Mom! She really came!"Mrs. Chancer glared, "I don't know what's wrong with your brother and his wife to invite her. It's bad luck!"The tables were laden with desserts. Sarah, focused on her search, was intercepted by James behind a pillar. "You really came!"Sarah tried to ignore him and walk past, but James blocked her path. "Don't go."Sarah glared at him, "Mr. Chance
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 206
The entire venue fell silent as everyone turned to watch. Scott looked at Sarah with confusion.The Chancer and Garnett families rushed over. James grabbed Charlotte's arm, "Charlotte, what's wrong?""James, she tore up our marriage certificate and our wedding photos - she deliberately scratched out my face."She produced the marriage certificate torn in half, while Mrs. Garnett held up the wedding photo with the defaced face.The crowd erupted in shock, suddenly remembering that Sarah was James's ex-wife."Well, what do you expect? An ex-wife coming to a wedding is obviously here to cause trouble.""But to do something like this at such an occasion - how shameful! No wonder James divorced her!""Look at the poor bride crying her eyes out, how pitiful."Charlotte continued sobbing, "Miss Sanders, I kindly invited you to our wedding. Why would you do this to me? You already took so much money and property in the divorce. James never mistreated you. If you're unhappy, you could t

Sarah didn't respond to Zachary's earlier words—she simply moved with even more care as she cleaned and bandaged his wound. Her eyes stayed fixed on the task at hand, but her expression was unreadable.Zachary, watching her in silence, gave a soft laugh. "You do care about me, Sasa. No matter what you say, you're not as heartless as you pretend to be."Sarah shook her head, her voice calm but cool. "You're overthinking it. We're both from East Coast—I just don't want to see you die. Besides, you're getting engaged to Miss Wilson in just over half a month. I’m clear of our positions. So please, don't say things like that again."Zachary's face changed instantly. He knew she was right—his engagement to Vivian was a chasm between them, one that he couldn't just leap across. Not while the truth remained buried.That engagement wasn't just a label. It was a shield. A smokescreen. A compromise he'd made to protect Sarah. But knowing she believed it, that it stood between them, only deepe

Charlie felt a chill run down his spine from that single glance. Considering her status, he dared not push any further. "That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you to figure out."He fled the scene, leaving Sarah alone in the room.After washing up, she lay on the bed and checked her emails. Her cousin had sent her updates on the construction progress at Pine Mist Island.Once she finished handling her affairs, Sarah tucked herself under the covers and closed her eyes, trying to sleep, but rest eluded her.Her mind was filled with what Charlie had said about Zachary being injured. He was hurt, and she had no idea how serious the wound was.If it was severe, he would need hospital treatment, which would certainly leave a record and expose his location.If he didn't want his whereabouts known, he would have to treat the injury himself at home.But that wound...Sarah couldn't calm her thoughts. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.Under the bright moonlight, a figu

After the doctor left, Charlie yanked out his IV and clambered off the bed, urging Zachary, "Let's get out of here. This place just drains you dry."Zachary, indifferent since his injuries were feigned, asked, "Your injuries alright?"Charlie, ever so casual about his resilience, boasted, "Ah, I've been roughed up worse before. Just give me a couple of days to rest at home, and I'll be as good as new."With unresolved matters and a longing to see Sarah, Zachary reluctantly set aside his desires. "Then you head back. Call me if you need anything."Charlie, sensing something off, gently tugged at Zachary's suit and noticed his white shirt stained with fresh blood. "Zach, you're hurt!"Zachary's lips were pale, his voice dry. "Yeah.""I'll get the doctor to bandage you up," Charlie said, moving to leave."No need," Zachary stopped him quickly, not wanting to expose his whereabouts by registering at the hospital."What about your wound?""I have a first aid kit at home. It's just

Zachary dragged the unconscious Charlie to the clinic, exacerbating Charlie's injuries as his back scraped against the small stones on the road.When Charlie woke up in the clinic, his howls filled the room. "It's killing me! Where's the doctor? Give me some anesthesia. I'd rather be out cold!"The nurse, irritated by his constant demands, was about to lose her patience when Zachary entered the room. Seeing him, Charlie momentarily forgot his pain and burst into tears. "Bro, did you save me? From now on, you're like a brother to me."Zachary responded indifferently, "Just focus on healing."As the nurse changed Charlie's bandages, she couldn't help but blush at Zachary's rugged, yet undeniably handsome appearance, even slightly disheveled from the fight."Damn it, get out! Are you doing this on purpose, you wretch? Trying to kill me?" Charlie slapped her, swelling her face, as he misunderstood her distracted clumsiness for malice.Zachary frowned, saying nothing. Although he disl

With an agile flip through the air, Zachary caught sight of Charlie sneaking a peek from behind a haystack, his sleazy demeanor perfectly deserving of a beating. The thought of what this scoundrel had done to Sarah intensified Zachary's fury, already heightened by the fierce combat.On the other side, the casino manager watched in rage as his men were effortlessly knocked down by Zachary. Cursing loudly, he shouted, "Damn it, what's the story with this kid?"Seeing some of his underlings still looking for an opportunity to strike, his anger boiled over. "Are you all brainless? Attack him all at once; I refuse to believe he can fight off everyone!"Those still standing and those who had managed to get back up exchanged glances and charged at Zachary with renewed ferocity.Zachary's sharp eyes flashed with disdain. Without moving, his fist met an attacker's face at an extraordinarily tricky angle.The attacker's pained expression froze mid-air, and when he hit the ground, dust flew
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 636
Charlie's voice cut off abruptly as he stared in horror behind Zachary, his body beginning to tremble. Before he could speak, the casino manager had already set up a blockade on the road and rushed over with his men, ambushing them from both sides."Charlie, you think you're pretty clever, conniving with outsiders to cheat me out of my money?" the casino manager sneered, twirling an iron rod menacingly.Charlie's legs gave out, and he fell to his knees, stuttering, "Bro, what are you talking about? How could I dare cheat you? I don't have the guts.""Stop lying to me," the manager bellowed, pointing the iron rod toward a visibly unmoved Zachary. "This pretty boy, you've been colluding with him to cheat on my turf. Sick of living, are you?""No, it's all a misunderstanding! We were gambling fair and square, no cheating!" Charlie was terrified, fearing a brutal beating was imminent.The manager scoffed, "You think I'm blind?"Sweat poured down Charlie's forehead as he desperately l

”Come on… Come on…” Charlie leaned over the long table, his eyes crazed as he watched the dealer's movements. The dealer placed his hand over the dice cup, his voice stirring the gamblers, "Any more bets? The odds are thirty to one now." As soon as he finished speaking, a burly man with a scruffy beard shoved most of his chips forward. "Damn it, I'm all in. Worst comes to worst, I'll con some more out of my old lady's funeral fund." Others, eyes reddened, quickly followed suit.Charlie clenched his yellowed teeth, tempted to go all in too. He glanced at Zachary, who had remained calm throughout, and rubbed his hands together with a sycophantic smile. "Bro, should we make a big play too?"Zachary gave him a brief glance. "What's the rush." Charlie had no choice but to curb his eagerness."Here it goes!" The dealer shouted, and the outcome was revealed, triggering moans of despair around them."Did we win? Did we actually win?" Charlie rubbed his eyes in disbelief, his smile wideni

Charlie pulled her close. "When have I not thought about you? Anyway, I've got things to do tomorrow. I'll come see you again later." He got dressed as the woman watched him reluctantly. Just as he opened the door to leave, another woman suddenly appeared in front of him."Molly, I've come—Oh? What are you doing here? Isn't this Mr. Wesley? What are you doing at Molly's house in the middle of the night instead of sleeping at home?"She saw Charlie adjusting his clothes and knew exactly what had been going on."Cut the crap, I'm leaving now. If anyone finds out about today, you're done for," Charlie snapped.The woman wasn't intimidated. She dramatically fell to her knees, crying out loud, "Oh dear! Everyone come and see how this man is threatening me, saying he'll kill me! He's not sleeping at his home in the middle of the night but is here at Molly's—who knows what they were up to? Now that I've caught him, he's not retreating but threatening me instead! Everyone come over and jud
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 633
Back at the Wesley place, Charlie shut the front door with a meaningful smirk as his parents had already gone to bed. He cleared the dining table and retreated to his room. Alone, his thoughts turned to what he imagined would happen between Zachary and Sarah, and he couldn't help but snicker to himself. This time, he felt he had finally done Zachary a favor by orchestrating the situation. After this, he was sure Zachary would owe him one, especially in his gambling endeavors.Once something happened between Sarah and Zachary, Charlie thought he would have significant leverage over Sarah—she wouldn't dare cross him, not even in front of the factory manager. Yet, the thought of their imminent encounter left him feeling an unexplained emptiness, especially since the woman he usually pushed around had defiantly returned to her mother's house after yesterday's beating. How dare she act differently when every other woman in the town bore their circumstances silently?Why was it acceptable
