The seat in front of Sarah had always been where Zachary sat. When he came to dine, St. Ritz would always reserve that spot for him. Now the seat was empty, but he still hadn’t arrived.The dishes were halfway served when Zachary finally showed up. The waitstaff didn’t ask many questions. Steven, the chef, knew the dishes Zachary liked, and had prepared them accordingly.Sarah glanced toward the entrance, but her attention was immediately diverted by another figure. Vivian walked in and sat next to Zachary, both of them laughing and chatting, which felt almost too much to bear. Sarah picked up a piece of fish, but it tasted bland. When Steven came out with more dishes and saw Zachary with Vivian, he quickly glanced around, his eyes widening in shock. “Cough, cough, Boss, enjoy your meal,” he said, his tone dripping with sarcasm.Vivian giggled and playfully covered her mouth. “Steven, why are you acting so strange today?”“It’s nothing, just a sore throat,” he replied quickly

Sarah never imagined a situation like this, especially facing Zachary.Vivian picked up some food and placed it on Zachary's plate, speaking to him sweetly in words Sarah didn’t understand.The awkwardness was overwhelming. Sarah took a sip of tea, the fragrance of the tea filling the air. The moment she sat down, Steven quickened his pace with the dishes. He placed each dish down and hurried off immediately."Miss Sanders, does Mia still need further treatment?" Steven asked."For now, we can only say that her condition is temporarily stable, but it's not completely cured. If she's triggered again, there’s a possibility the illness could flare up. Psychological conditions are different from physical ones, and they are hard to fully treat," Sarah explained.Vivian raised her cup of tea. "Then, please continue taking care of her."She took a sip, then set the cup down. Turning to Zachary, she said, “Zac, stop looking so cold. You’ll scare Miss Sanders.”For some reason, Sarah fel

"Sasa..." Zachary stood frozen, his entire body icy, unable to move even a step. Sarah didn’t know how she had left, but she didn’t want to look back. Chancer Family.Lucy’s face turned pale with fear, her phone ringing non-stop. After hanging up on Tom’s call, her phone rang again. She quickly turned it off, but it started ringing on the landline. Worried someone might overhear, she rushed to answer. "What do you want from me? Stop calling!" "Alright, wait for the news tonight," came Tom’s voice, calm and threatening. "No! Don’t send it!" Her fingers trembled as she gripped the phone tightly. "If you don’t want me to post this video online, come to Mist Island Hotel. You have half an hour. If I don’t see you within that time, the video will be sent to all the major media outlets." Tom hung up after his words. Lucy was trembling with fear. She didn’t know what to do, but she knew Tom wasn’t bluffing. She glanced at her phone screen, her body jolted, and she

Sarah's heart sank as she followed the sound of the crying, her brow furrowing in confusion. Was someone really abandoning a baby here? She carefully approached the bushes, the crying growing louder with each step. When she finally got close enough to take a look, her eyes widened in shock. There was no baby—just a recording device. Before she could react, she felt a cold shiver down her spine. A sharp pain suddenly struck the back of her head, and then everything went black. When Sarah regained consciousness, she realized she was bound and in complete darkness, the air thick with the scent of mildew. The pain in her head was intense, and she wondered if she had been hit hard enough to cause bleeding. Had she been kidnapped again? By whom? Suddenly, the lights flickered on, blinding her momentarily. She squeezed her eyes shut as laughter echoed in the room—loud and derisive. "Sarah, you b*tch!" It was... Lucy’s voice! "Lucy, you kidnapped me?" Sarah asked, her voic
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 290
Sarah's voice was cold as she said, "There's one condition. I feel disgusted just seeing her. If you record a video of her, I'll give you the money. Otherwise, I’d rather die.""Don't forget who helped you find her!" Lucy screamed.Sarah ignored her, her focus still on Tom. "Well? Five million for a video. After you release me, I won’t pursue the kidnapping charges against you.""Don't believe her! She's just playing you! How could she possibly let you go once she gets the money from Zachary and Melvin?” Lucy’s voice trembled with fear. She was worried that Tom might be swayed and that all the hard work of getting out of trouble would be undone."It's not impossible..." Tom looked at Lucy. He was only after the money; who gave it to him didn't matter.“Tom! Think about it. If you agree to her, what if she doesn't give you the money in the end? Why not contact her cousin now and get the five million? Once you have the money, you can leave the country and be safer!" Lucy was trying

James' voice was cold as he asked, "What exactly is going on?"He could not possibly believe that whatever was making Lucy cry like this wasn’t important.Tears streamed down Lucy's face as she was shouted at, but how could she tell him the truth?James' expression darkened. "If you don’t tell me, how can I not let her go? Who kidnapped you today?""It was Sarah! She did it!" Lucy couldn’t forget the sound of Sarah and Tom tying her up.That damn Tom really tied her up and even handed her the storage card!She was unwilling to accept it—how could she just accept this?“James, it was Sarah who had me kidnapped." She cried desperately.James looked at her in disbelief, still unsure. "Are you sure?"“James! Sarah kidnapped me, and you don’t believe me? I’m your sister!" she cried out."I'll confirm it." When they got home, Lucy started crying uncontrollably. No matter what her mother or James asked, she remained silent.She didn’t want to speak, not wanting to make James an

She spent a long time trying to figure out the direction for her paper, and once she began writing, she realized how difficult it was.At 6 p.m., there was a knock at the door.A waiter delivered her hotel meal—steak, red wine, and coffee.The meals offered to participants could be chosen freely, but she didn’t have time to pick. She just ordered a steak. Time was precious; the competition lasted only one month, and the topic she chose was a difficult one. Just collecting the materials and data would take a lot of time. Next, she would have to leverage her connections.A good paper relies heavily on quality data, and such data isn’t easy to obtain.Fortunately, she had a distinct advantage: Scott would help her access the latest research data.After determining her direction, she started searching for ways to build the data model.The closed-off environment didn’t mean participants couldn’t leave the hotel. Early on, she had met some of the other contestants.There were over

Mrs. Chancer held Lucy protectively. "Tell us, dear. How can your brother help if you won't explain?"Her eyes were red from worrying about Lucy's self-isolation.For the first time, Lucy felt powerless despite her family's influence."A video," she choked out, knowing silence would only make the eventual revelation worse."What video?" James watched her warily.Their mother fell silent, releasing Lucy."Sarah paid a man 5 million to film me... that kind of video." Lucy clutched her hands nervously.James understood immediately, but doubted Sarah would spend so much on revenge.He stared at Lucy sharply. "What did you do this time?""Nothing!" Lucy avoided his gaze, hiding behind their mother."James! Your sister's suffering and you're defending that witch?" their mother protested."Find her! This video will ruin your sister's life!"“James! I did nothing wrong! Help me! I'll die if people see it!" Lucy sobbed, clutching his sleeve.James knew the scandal would devastate t

Mia tasted the food with a dismissive look. "Sarah, this soup is terrible.""What's that supposed to mean?" Sydney jumped up, glaring at Mia.Even if Mia was a Reynolds, she couldn't take this forever.Mia smirked. "Just stating facts. Or are we not allowed to be honest?"Sydney, expert at playing victim, clutched Melvin's arm. "Melvin, did you hear how rude she's being?""Who are you calling rude?" Mia fixed her with an icy stare. No one had ever dared speak to her like this."Melvin, you saw that. I'm not starting trouble - she is." Sydney gave him an innocent look, tears glistening.Sarah and Mia exchanged disgusted glances. Even Mia found these tactics pathetically obvious - just like Lucy all over again.Melvin's face was blank, though revulsion showed in his eyes. "Let's eat. Annette will cook from now on."Sydney wanted to argue but caught Melvin's expression and stayed quiet.She remembered her aunt's advice: despite Melvin's cold exterior, he had a soft heart, especi

"Aunt, we should still ask my brother." Sarah insisted.Aunt Amanda's displeasure showed. "Sasa, Melvin is my son. He'll listen to me. I discussed Sydney's internship with him months ago."Months ago - before Sarah had returned.Before she could react, Sydney had already directed the bodyguards to move her luggage to an empty room upstairs.She acted like she owned the place, while Mia hid behind Sarah.Only after Sydney had settled in did Aunt Amanda leave, satisfied."Sarah, is she really going to intern at Sanders Group?" Mia asked quietly.Sarah paused. Why place Sydney at Sanders? She hated the idea of someone she distrusted infiltrating the company. Sanders Group was her parents' legacy - she had to protect it."Mia, go rest for a bit."After Mia left, she called Melvin.“Melvin, about Sydney..."His voice sounded tired. "I know. Mother wants her to stay here for now.""I see." Sarah hung up.She couldn't understand her aunt's motives, or Melvin's thoughts.When Mel

"Finally I can be with you again. I only feel safe when you're around." Mia sat in the car the Reynolds had sent, clutching Sarah's sleeve in the backseat as if afraid she'd disappear.Sarah noticed her anxious attachment. She'd always known Mia depended on her deeply, but this level made her uneasy.At the Reynolds house, William had retreated inside, leaving Zachary and Vivian standing outside.They stood in silence, Vivian staring at Zachary while he gazed in the direction Sarah had gone."She's been gone for ages. You still won't look at me?" Vivian's voice trembled.Zachary snapped back to reality, his face blank. "No. I'm worried about Mia.""Is it Mia you're worried about, or Sarah?" Vivian sneered.Zachary just glared at her, refusing to answer.As he turned to leave, Vivian blocked his path. "Answer me. Why are you running? Did I hit a nerve? You still love her, don't you?""I don't know what you're talking about," Zachary said coldly.Vivian laughed sharply. "Don't

"Mr. Reynolds, is there something specific you want to tell me?" Sarah asked, neither humble nor proud."You're clever. Mia trusts and depends on you, but that doesn't erase my concerns. The incident with Tina’s suicide made headlines across the East Coast - how she left only you to blame."Sarah smiled faintly. "I wouldn't expect you to ask such naive questions. Tina’s case was public. If I'd done anything wrong, the psychiatric community would have condemned me. Only those who choose to stay blind believe otherwise."Her boldness surprised him. He studied her with renewed interest."Miss Sanders, you're intriguing. But that alone isn't enough to stand as Zachary's equal."Sarah shook her head. "Mr. Reynolds, I've never sought to be with Zachary. Besides, isn't Vivian your choice? Zachary and I are done. I'm only here because you sent for me."William chuckled. "True, the Sanders family can't compare to the Wilsons. I've known Vivian since childhood - I know exactly who she is.

"It's alright, Mia. I'm here."Sarah covered Mia's eyes with her hand, guiding her to the bed and helping her lie down."Just relax..."Under Sarah's gentle care, Mia finally fell into a peaceful sleep. Minutes later, she woke, lucid this time.Calm now, she looked around at Zachary and William.“Zachary, Grandpa, Sarah - oh, and Vivian, you're here too?" She brightened at seeing everyone, seemingly with no memory of her episode.William studied Sarah intently. He'd brought in many therapists and knew how Mia responded to them. None had connected like Sarah.Mia showed an inexplicable trust in Sarah, able to calm instantly at the sight of her."Just checking on you," Sarah said softly."Sarah..." Mia glanced nervously at Vivian.She knew well the complicated relationship between Sarah, Vivian, and Zachary. Why were they both here?Unless...?She looked at her brother, finding his expression unreadable.William turned to Vivian warmly. "Vivian, you're here too. Let's have s

"Is that a threat?" Sarah scoffed. "I'm seeing Zachary because of Mia.""Whatever the reason, if Zachary and his grandfather don't want you treating Mia anymore, you should just disappear. Stay away from them." Vivian's voice dripped with venom.Sarah narrowed her eyes, suddenly leaning in so close their faces nearly touched. A chill ran down Vivian's spine."Aren't you overstepping? Not everything needs your control, Vivian. Mia's my friend. Of course I'll help when she's in trouble."Vivian sneered. "Don't be ridiculous. Their grandfather and Zachary have found dozens of renowned therapists. You really think you're more qualified? Are you really helping Mia, or using her condition to get close to Zachary?""Shut up. There may be many qualified people, but I've been treating Mia all along. No one knows her condition better than I do. As for Zachary - we're over. I won't go back. You don't need to be so threatened."Vivian burst into mocking laughter. "Me? Threatened? You don't k

Mia calmed slightly at the familiar voice. Her frantic movements slowed, the pillow she'd meant to throw falling to the floor. She stared at Zachary with wary confusion, her guard dropping only when she finally recognized him."Brother?" she tested uncertainly.The worry in Zachary's eyes softened. "Yes, Mia. It's me, your brother."He approached slowly, careful not to startle her, gently removing the cup from her left hand."Mia, look at my face. I'm your brother.""Brother?" she murmured, then her expression twisted. "Liar! You want to kill me, don't you? You want to eat me!" The word "eat" seemed to trigger her deepest terrors.Her face contorted as she crouched down, hugging herself. "Don't eat me, please don't!"Zachary looked at his sister with pain, cautiously placing a hand on her shoulder. "Don't be scared, Mia. I'm here to protect you.""You're lying! You said you'd protect us but never came! Sarah was eaten and you never came! You lied to us!" Mia sobbed hysterically

She left without waiting for Zachary's response, not looking back.At the restaurant, Vivian and Zachary sat at the best window table, their food already served."Zachary, try this!" Vivian said eagerly. "This steak's even better than that Kobe beef we had in Japan."Zachary mechanically cut a piece and took a bite. The meat was indeed good."So," Vivian asked, feigning casualness, "what did Miss Sanders want earlier?"Zachary frowned slightly. "That's private.""Why so hostile? I just care about you. If she needs help, maybe I could assist?" Vivian's voice turned hurt.Zachary put down his cutlery and looked at her coolly. "Actually, there is one thing you could help with.""What is it?"A cold smile played at his lips. "Stay in your lane."Vivian's smile froze, her body tensing. She forced a laugh. "What do you mean?""Nothing at all," Zachary said, taking another bite.After dinner, Vivian dabbed her lips. The meal had been tasteless.She hadn't mentioned the engagement

Sarah looked at Zachary gravely. "Mia's condition is deteriorating. I need to continue her treatment."Zachary's fingers drummed lightly on his desk, disapproval written across his face. "That's...""What? Don't you trust me?" Sarah raised an eyebrow."Of course I trust you. I've never doubted your professional ability. I just..." Just want to prevent what might happen - like you leaving me when you learn the truth.But he'd never tell her that.Sarah knew Zachary well. Something specific was making him hesitate. Those strange photographs? Or that drawing Mia had made?Though she suspected he wouldn't answer, she had to ask. "Tell me why."Zachary froze. "I'm sorry. I can't."He couldn't say anything until he'd figured out his explanation.Sarah gave a bitter laugh. "Is it because of Tina’s incident? Or what happened when Mia had her episode at the school gates? I know you don't believe those online rumors, but I can't think of any reason you'd willingly stop Mia's treatment,
