Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 236
Sarah pondered Melvin's words. What did he mean by "second time"? Was the first time marrying James?But she remembered her cousin hadn't strongly objected to that marriage initially. He only tried getting to know James after seeing her determination.So who was he really talking about?Melvin had taken the wine bottle, leaving just a little in her glass. She lifted it and downed it like he had.Back in her room, slightly tipsy, she checked her phone. Opening her chat with Zachary, she saw how brief their conversations had become over just three days - a few lines, with today's messages still unanswered."Are you there?""At work.""Miss me?"Every message spoke of longing, but met silence. She wondered if she'd somehow offended him.Sarah felt like she was reliving the past. These unanswered messages reminded her of her marriage - was history repeating itself?She'd only seen Zachary on the news these past days.Watching him looking tired on the financial news channel, she un

She was certain they were being followed.Her palms were sweaty with nerves. Mia finally noticed something was wrong. "Sarah, what is it?""Nothing," Sarah said softly. She couldn't let Mia be in danger - Zachary had entrusted Mia to her care.As they walked, she tried calling Zachary repeatedly, but only got busy signals. What was he doing?At the airport arrival hall, Zachary frowned as he declined the call. He wanted to answer, but he'd spotted her coming out.She wheeled her suitcase, fully disguised in sunglasses and mask. When she was about ten yards away, she took a call. After listening briefly, she smiled with satisfaction. "Continue."She hung up casually, handed her luggage to Zachary, and removed her sunglasses, revealing expressive eyes."Zachary, I knew you'd come for me." She moved to embrace him, but he stepped back.Pretending not to notice, she straightened up. "Still so cold? Aren't you happy to see me?"Zachary finally softened slightly. "It's not that. I'm

"Of course, and your grandfather misses you even more," Mr. Reynolds nodded toward Mr. Wilson.Vivian glanced at both elderly men, smiling. "I'm not leaving again. I've been gone too long - I miss everyone. Did you miss me, Zachary?"Zachary nodded absently, his mind on the missed calls.Vivian beamed. "Uncle William, I'll visit often. Don't get tired of me!""Never!" Mr. Reynolds laughed.At Adam University's gate, Melvin's face darkened. Half an hour after dismissal, Sarah wasn't answering his calls.He thought she was just trying to annoy him.But after waiting longer, something felt wrong. Even if she wanted to irritate him, this wasn't her style.He questioned the security guard, who called the counseling office - no answer. Growing worried, Melvin rushed to her office. It was empty, her things gone, including her bag.She'd clearly left after work. Then it hit him - had she snuck off to see Zachary? He clenched his fists. Why now, of all times? Vivian had just returned.

Mrs. Garnett looked at James with displeasure. "Is something wrong?"He'd been distracted since that call - must be something serious.Charlotte watched him too. He'd mentioned Sarah's name, which now triggered an instant reaction in her."Sarah's missing," James said.Remembering Melvin's words, he instinctively looked at Charlotte. "Do you know where she is?""James! What are you implying? How would I know where she is?" Charlotte's face hardened.James smiled apologetically. "After what Lucy did, I'm worried she might try something similar."Charlotte glared at him, but catching her mother's eye, she calmed herself. "James, I'm upset because you immediately suspected me. You know me better than that. I've been with you all day, never left your side. Besides, everyone knows the Sanders family disapproves of Zachary. Maybe Sarah just went to see him."Despite her explanation, James felt something wasn't right. If Sarah were with Zachary, Melvin wouldn't have called him. He dec

James stormed out of the Garnetts' mansion, Charlotte's voice fading behind him. “James, wait!"Behind the wheel of his Mercedes, he gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The more he tried to push thoughts of Sarah away, the more they consumed him. Something wasn't right - he could feel it in his gut.He tried Melvin again. Still busy. Sarah's phone went straight to voicemail for the tenth time.What if Charlotte was wrong? Sure, Sarah might have gone to see Zachary. But this silence, this complete disappearance - it felt deliberate. Planned.In darkness, Sarah couldn't tell where they were being held. Her wrists were bound tight, a gag in her mouth, every muscle screaming in pain.Through the walls, she heard men's voices. "Boss, this woman's too pretty. The guys are getting restless.""Cut it out! We're here for the money, nothing else. The pay's good - anyone who can't follow orders can leave now."Who were these people?Who ordered the kidnapping?Who w
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 241
The men burst out laughing. "Funny. Let her go crazy - as long as she doesn't die, who cares?"Sarah froze. Of course - these weren't normal people. They were criminals.She changed tactics. "Listen. She's Zachary Reynolds' sister, and I'm from the Sanders family. If it's money you want, we can pay more than whoever hired you - several times more. If it's not about money, you should still let us go. Whatever your boss can do, Zachary can do better. And what your boss can't do? Zachary might try anyway."She was trying to turn them, but it wasn't working.They stuck to their plan. She scanned the room, looking for escape routes."You think we're common thugs who'll switch sides for more cash?" the leader sneered. "The underworld has rules. If we let targets buy us off, who'd trust us with future jobs?"Sarah changed approach. "If bribes won't work, what about threats? Aren't you afraid?"Her eyes flashed like a hawk's. "Afraid of what?" they challenged."Her brother and mine are
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 242
"Got a death wish?" "Mouthy bitch, threatening us! If the boss hadn't ordered us to behave, you wouldn't be standing here talking. We'd show you what's what!"They laughed, their eyes full of malice.Sarah hugged herself, trying to hide her fear.She worried her words might provoke them further, but now she was certain - whoever was behind this maintained tight control.Not Lucy or Charlotte then. They'd just want to destroy her.But who else?At Sanders Corp, Melvin had called in every favor trying to find Sarah, with no success.Knowing Vivian was back, he had his suspicions.Zachary's phone was off. Furious, Melvin slammed his desk. He'd already contacted Traffic Control to review city cameras, focusing on suspicious vehicles around the university."Anything yet?" he demanded anxiously.His team scrutinized every frame until..."Sir, we found something!"Melvin straightened. His secretary pointed to a van. "This one's suspicious. It waited in the alley all morning, hidd

Sarah watched Mia anxiously. If she couldn't control her, these thugs might do anything.She grabbed Mia's hands despite the scratches covering her arms and hands. She couldn't back down now. She held on tight.Though using all her strength, Sarah was no match for Mia's size, especially now that panic had multiplied her strength."Listen to me! Mia, I'm here. Can you see me? I'm with you. Don't be scared, okay?" Sarah struggled to keep hold.She whispered this in Mia's ear several times. Finally, on the third try, Mia's screams stopped. She began to calm down."Sarah?" she whispered timidly.Sarah nodded firmly. "I'm here. You're safe with me."Tears rolled down Mia's cheeks. She looked at Sarah with terror and whispered, "Sarah, they'll kill you. They're going to kill you.""They're devils..." Mia's voice faded as she covered her mouth, biting her knuckles.The men watched Mia with dangerous, unsettling expressions.Sarah slowly guided Mia to the corner, shielding her from t

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
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 638
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
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 632
"Zachary, you're here?" Charlie greeted with a sycophantic tone. Indeed, it was Zachary, who frowned slightly. About twenty minutes ago, Charlie had called him, claiming Sarah was in danger and that he needed to hurry over. Zachary had rushed here as quickly as possible, but now couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Why did Charlie's smile seem so... unsettling?"What's wrong with Miss Sanders?" Zachary asked, his gaze serious.Charlie, sensing he had played his cards right, pointed toward Sarah's room and said meaningfully, "Miss Sanders is in that room. She's in critical condition right now. Hurry, go save her."He even gave an expression that implied men would understand.Zachary's unease grew. He walked into Sarah's room, only to find her lying on the bed, seemingly unconscious."Sasa?" He rushed over, his voice full of concern.From outside the door, Charlie's voice rang out. "Zachary, time is money. I've given you what you wanted. Go ahead and take it."Zachar

The next morning, Charlie handed over the last two thousand dollars he had managed to scrounge from his house to Manager Sullivan. After groveling and pleading, it took quite a while before Sullivan finally decided to let him off the hook.Sarah sat in her office, her eyes fixed on the computer screen displaying an email reply from headquarters. The report about the equipment malfunction had been approved, and the request for new devices granted. The board of directors hadn't opposed it, which came as a surprise.Outside the office, Charlie passed by the door, his mind still reeling from Sullivan's earlier warning."You've got one more chance. Sarah Sanders is sharp. If you fail again, pack your bags and leave!"He clenched his fist, determined not to fail this time.At six in the evening, Sarah was about to leave for the day when, to her surprise, Charlie was waiting outside, calling her over. "Hurry up and eat! My mom made dishes specially for you. I know I messed up last time,
