Chapter 255

Author: Summer Knowles
When the fourth auction item appeared, all the women in the room gasped. No one could resist diamonds, especially this purple one.

Every wealthy lady present knew the value of colored diamonds. The world's largest known purple diamond was seven carats, and this one was six and a half.

Charlotte's eyes sparkled at it. Lucy was mesmerized too, tugging at James's arm, "James, this diamond is beautiful. You have to buy it for me."

Charlotte gripped her dress hem, pressing her lips together.

In the front row, Vivian also noticed the necklace. She excitedly said to Zachary, "Zachary, this necklace would suit me, right?"

Zachary thought of the pink diamond from the last auction. This purple diamond was by the same designer, both famous pieces.

He nodded dismissively.

Sarah touched her neck, glad she hadn't worn the necklace Zachary had given her.

"This is an extremely rare purple diamond necklace. Starting bid is 10 million."

Melvin raised his paddle. "20 million."

Sarah looked up a

    In the bathroom, she splashed cold water on her face to regain composure. Despite what her subconscious told her, she couldn't forget the scene of Zachary and Vivian laughing together - the jealousy in her eyes.Why did they always do this - first James, now Zachary.Outside the bathroom, she leaned against the wall by the auction hall doors, reluctant to go back in.Sitting down meant watching Vivian's intimacy with him."Why aren't you going in?" James suddenly appeared.Sarah hadn't expected to see him. She gave a bitter smile. "Just getting some air.""What's going on with you and Zachary?" James couldn't help asking.Sarah shook her head. "It's exactly what you see."If even James noticed something was wrong, surely Charlotte and Lucy had too."Did you two fight?" James asked again.Sarah looked at him puzzled. "Mr. Chancer, this isn't your business. Your wife is inside - it wouldn't look good if she saw us. I don't want to start more rumors."James felt embarrassed but

    "If only Grandpa would let me handle the Vista International contract. We could spend so much more time together," Vivian daydreamed.Zachary remained silent as he lowered his paddle. He'd barely noticed anything tonight except the purple diamond Vivian had won. His mind drifted to the pink diamond from the same designer that he'd given Sarah - the one Melvin hadn't managed to secure.James claimed the second-to-last piece, a calligraphy masterwork, for 60 million. The grand finale was a stunning royal crown.Crafted from pure gold and adorned with rare feathers and intricate details, the crown boasted over 400 precious gems. The auctioneer declared it priceless, opening bids at 100 million - a rarity even for the prestigious South Pavilion.Bidding exploded instantly, the price doubling within moments.The crowd of collectors knew their antiques - this centuries-old crown held immense value, both in its materials and its history.Despite her earlier wins, Vivian couldn't take he

    As Sarah and Melvin were leaving, Vivian stopped Sarah and handed her a business card. "Miss Sanders, if anything happens with Mia and you can't reach Zachary, please call me. I'm back for good, and I worry about Mia too."Sarah awkwardly accepted the burning card.Melvin pulled Sarah into the car parked by the curb and returned the card to Vivian. "Miss Wilson, Sarah won't be contacting you. If anything happens with Mia, I'll reach out myself."He turned to Zachary, "Oh, and about Mia injuring my sister with a knife during her episode - don't forget the medical bills and compensation. Mr. Reynolds can surely afford it. Just transfer it to my company account.""Injured? Where?" Zachary frowned, studying Sarah.His eyes glittered like stars in the moonlit night, taking in every detail down to the strands of her hair."That's no longer your concern, Mr. Reynolds. We won't keep you and Miss Wilson any longer. Goodbye." Melvin's tone was cold.Zachary watched Sarah's retreating figu

    "Think about who helped clean up your messes and got you out of prison."Lucy fell silent, remembering the psychiatric hospital incident. Their grandfather had feigned illness to get Sarah to visit, which led to her rescue.If something similar happened again, Sarah might not be so accommodating.Back at the Sanders house that night, Sarah kept looking at the pink diamond from her closet. The auction's diamond had gone to Vivian - perhaps Zachary had planned it that way.Growing frustrated, she buried the diamond in her bottom drawer.The auction hadn't helped Mia's condition. She'd hoped seeing Zachary and the formal setting might trigger some memories.The kidnapping had clearly traumatized Mia deeply.Though the kidnappers were in custody, Melvin's interrogations yielded nothing.Vivian must have offered substantial benefits, or held their families hostage.In bed that night, Sarah replayed seeing Zachary with Vivian - they looked perfect together.She expected tomorrow's

    Though Lucy hadn't leaked the video, she was grateful to whoever did.James stared coldly at Lucy, unsure whether to believe her.“James, it wasn't me! Whoever did this deserves thanks - it's karma!"Mrs Chancer slammed her hands on the table. "James, how dare you suspect your sister when she's denied it?"James looked at Lucy hiding behind their mother and gave up. "I'm going to work."After he left, Charlotte peered anxiously at the door from upstairs, sighing in relief once he was gone.Her phone screen lit up with the article.She noticed Lucy watching her from upstairs, making her heart skip.Charlotte rushed back to her room, locked her phone, and tried to forget about it."Lucy, what were you looking at?" their mother asked curiously.Lucy turned with a smile, finishing her breakfast. "Nothing. Let's go shopping later with sister-in-law.""Lovely idea."Lucy's eyes gleamed. She'd been wondering who leaked the article. She'd only sent the video to one person - Charlot

    James explained, "Charlotte wouldn't do this. Yes, Lucy took the video, but I asked her this morning and she denied leaking it.""Fix this, or we'll have problems," Melvin snapped. "Go ask your dear wife." He stormed out.James stared at the damning IP address on the documents. Unable to settle, he headed home, finding Lucy and the others about to leave.“James? Why are you back?" Lucy asked, puzzled.James ignored her, focusing on Charlotte, who avoided his gaze. "James, aren't you working today?"He approached her slowly, smiling, as she backed away."James, what are you doing?" Charlotte asked nervously, wringing her hands behind her back.Just as he was about to reach Charlotte, Mrs. Chancer blocked his path. "James! Stop it! She's your wife!""Mother! Do you know what she did? She posted that article online!" James fixed Charlotte with a piercing stare.Charlotte took a deep breath, eyes darting. "I don't know what you mean! James, I didn't do it.""No?" James narrowed h

    Sarah didn’t want to pay attention to the things happening online. The rumors had been flying all day. When she woke up that morning, she immediately felt a severe cramp in her abdomen and struggled to get out of bed.She endured the intense pain as she got dressed and put on her shoes. Mia was already awake.This pain was something she knew all too well. Without even thinking, she knew it was her period.It was during moments like this that she couldn’t help but remember everything Zachary had done for her—taking her to the hospital, preparing meals and medicine for her.She recalled the last time her period came; Zachary had taken care of her the whole time.That's how memories work - just when you think you've forgotten someone, familiar moments bring everything rushing back.She had Mia help her to the hospital, which wasn’t far from the estate, just a short walk.The hospital smelled of disinfectant, and her nose no longer caught the scent of cedarwood.She had asked herse

    Sarah stared blankly at the approaching figure. Why was she here too?"Miss Wilson, you're here as well?" Sarah forced a smile.Vivian walked to Zachary's side, casually resting her hand on his arm. "Zachary came with me. Are you feeling unwell, Miss Sanders?"Sarah lifted her medicine bag. "Yes, a bit."Vivian held up her own bag, smiling. "Oh? We're getting the same medicine! What a coincidence, on the same day too."Sarah froze. So Zachary had come for Vivian."What a coincidence indeed," she murmured.She couldn't bear to look at Zachary's face. Under Vivian's gaze, words failed her.Though she was Zachary's girlfriend, she felt like the other woman caught in the act, as if Vivian were the rightful partner."Has Mia improved? Miss Sanders, I've seen the rumors online. I know they're not true," Vivian said kindly.Sarah nodded slightly. "Mia's showing some improvement, but it's subtle."Mia stayed behind Sarah, peering timidly at Zachary and Vivian as if they were strange

    Fresh from the gambling den, Charlie was ecstatic, clutching a bundle of cash and laughing wildly. "Zach, we won thirty thousand! Can you believe they just let us walk out?"He found it unbelievable, but Zach seemed unfazed. They hadn't just taken the house; they'd also won a considerable amount from other gamblers, and even helped the house make a profit. It was no wonder they weren't stopped.Holding the money, Charlie mused, "Zach, you wouldn’t believe it. The rich just keep getting richer. Today, our factory received a shipment of equipment, and I heard just one machine costs millions. Compared to them, this thirty thousand really isn't much."Zach casually mentioned, "It seems like the Sanders factory is the only big one left around here."Charlie quickly retorted with a smirk, "Actually, in West Ridge, Sanders isn’t the biggest."Zach raised an eyebrow, "Really? I thought I knew West Ridge pretty well. Apart from Sanders, I haven’t seen any factory bigger than theirs."Char

    Charlie finally got it—Manager Sullivan was forcing him to take on this task. He gritted his teeth and determinedly agreed, "Manager, I'll do it."Manager Sullivan smiled approvingly, "That's the spirit! Good employees like you are what this factory needs. Don't worry, the higher-ups won't let your efforts go unrewarded. If you pull this off, you could be looking at a bonus of several thousand."Charlie nodded, "Tonight, then?"Manager Sullivan's expression grew serious as he nodded back, "Yes, tonight."That afternoon, Charlie clocked out and went straight to find Zachary. He couldn’t go back to the old gambling den—they had made a mess last time and were probably blacklisted. As for the money he owed, Charlie didn’t care anymore. After all, they had won a lot last time only to have it stolen, which he figured squared things. Still, that didn't stop him from wanting to gamble again.Just a few days later, he found Zachary and even brought what he considered a fine cigar.As for

    Outside the Sanders factory, several trucks were parked at the entrance. Sarah followed Manager Sullivan and Mr. Lambert, watching the unloading process. "Manager Sullivan, all this new equipment has arrived today, right from the headquarters' stock, and it's too late to ship from Germany now," Sarah observed, her voice serious.Mr. Lambert smiled, "I didn't expect you to handle this so quickly, Miss Sanders. It's only been a few days since you went to headquarters to file a complaint, and you've already got the equipment here.""It's all for the good of the factory," Sarah replied, her face still stern. "So, Manager Sullivan, the factory can operate normally now, right? Getting the production line back up is inevitable."Manager Sullivan's expression wasn't much happier; he hadn't expected Sarah to pull this off so quickly. He forced a smile, "Of course."As the equipment was moved into the factory, Manager Sullivan returned to his office, wiping sweat from his brow with his handk

    Sarah was puzzled. "An explosion at such a critical moment would make anyone suspicious, wouldn't it? It looks like someone's trying to cover something up."Zachary nodded, his face showing disdain. "You're not the only one who thought so. But Old Mr. Wilson presented the last batch of drugs from their factory, which were supposed to be delivered to hospitals. The tests came back clean, and they claimed the explosion was due to a mishandling of ingredients."Sarah raised an eyebrow. "And everyone just bought that?""Yes, everyone did.""So, you want to prove the explosion wasn't an accident and use that to bring down the Wilson family?" Sarah asked softly.Zachary's face paled; he shook his head slightly. "It's not just that. I want to do more, but..."Sarah shrugged, as if she was used to this kind of talk. "Let me guess, the timing isn't right yet?"Zachary looked at her sincerely. "Sarah, I'm really glad you came to help me with my wounds. When the time is right, I'll come to

    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
