Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 289
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

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

The smell of alcohol was thick in the air—he had been drinking. She helped him sit on the sofa. His hand gripped her arm tightly, and he mumbled, “Sasa…”"Why did you come to here? Why did you come looking for me?" she asked, knowing there wouldn't be an answer.Zachary's brows furrowed slightly, as though he were having a nightmare, and he kept calling her name."Don’t break up..." he murmured.Sarah turned her face away, unable to bear it, but his voice pierced her ears, and her heart ached with each word.Suddenly, Zachary's phone rang. She didn't move, but when it rang a second time, she finally answered.“Zac, why aren’t you picking up?" It was Vivian!Sarah froze, not knowing what to do—she couldn’t speak, but neither could she ignore it. As she hesitated, Vivian noticed."Who are you? Why are you holding Zachary’s phone?" Vivian’s voice was sharp.Flustered, Sarah quickly replied, "He’s drunk," and immediately hung up.It seemed that he hadn’t cleared things up wit

"Just a rough draft, it's not finished yet," Sarah explained.Linda had breakfast with her and then returned to her own room. Sarah, feeling utterly exhausted, collapsed onto the bed. Her body felt heavy, and she couldn’t shake off the discomfort.She was on the verge of falling asleep when her phone rang—it was James calling.Still groggy, she answered, "What is it?""Sarah, Lucy told me everything. She shouldn’t have hired someone to kidnap you, but what about the video?"Sarah didn’t have the time or energy to explain everything. "James, do you know why Lucy hired someone to kidnap me? Do you know who gave me that video? It wasn't taken on the day of the kidnapping—it was filmed by a man before that. Do you know why?"There was a long silence on the other end, and it seemed James didn’t know how to respond.It lasted so long that Sarah nearly fell asleep, until James finally spoke."What Lucy did, I’m sorry for her. But the video..." He hesitated.Sarah sneered. "You real
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 296
”James, I really know I was wrong. When I saw the video, I already understood, but I had no choice. If I didn't give him the money, he'd send the video out. Everyone would know, and I couldn’t let that happen!" Lucy wiped away a tear.James suddenly recalled that Lucy had come to him previously asking to go abroad. Could it be that it started back then?"You asked me to help you go abroad last time. Was that the man you accidentally injured with a knife?" he asked.Lucy nodded through her tears. "Yes, but I found out later that he didn't die."“Sweetheart, why didn’t you tell the family? You could have asked your brother for the money and avoided all of this!" Mrs Chancer’s voice was full of concern as she spoke, her eyes red from crying.James looked at Lucy with cold eyes, his anger rising. "What’s his name?"“Tom Davis. I’m not sure if it’s his real name, but I have a photo of him." Lucy took out her phone and showed James the photo she had secretly taken at the hotel.After

She racked her brain trying to figure out where she'd gone wrong to end up in this situation.Before she could think of a solution, the company faced a thorny problem. Her assistant contacted her immediately."Miss Wilson, our shipment at the dock has been detained. By the time I received the news, it had already been held for three days. If we delay any longer, we'll lose a major deal," her assistant said urgently.Vivian had received an excellent education and was being groomed as the Wilson Group's successor, so she naturally wouldn't lose her composure.She calmly asked, "Have you looked into why the shipment was detained?"The assistant hesitated, "I heard that your fiancé, Mr. Reynolds, personally reported that shipment.""That's impossible!" Vivian's voice rose in pitch, her face filled with disbelief."Did you investigate thoroughly? If this turns out to be false, I won't let you off easily and will sue you for defamation." Vivian couldn't keep her cool, speaking with a h

In the office, Vivian looked with interest at the news on her phone about Harbour Crescent Island and Pine Mist Island. Everything was going exactly as she had expected.Except for one thing. When she first got the original project plan, she had been wondering about a small building near the main hotel. She couldn't figure out what it was for.Only after Pine Mist Island's promotional materials came out did she fully understand the purpose of that small building. In modern society, the exhausting work and complicated relationships of urban life caused people to develop various psychological issues. Many of these weren't even serious enough to be called disorders—they were just negative emotions bottled up inside that needed an outlet.In recent years, people had placed more emphasis on mental health education, with schools conducting various assessment activities.Many emotional release rooms had appeared in East Coast, but Sarah had only visited two or three, and their release meth

Before Zachary could react, tears streamed down Mia's face. "Brother, tell me, is everything I read true? The Wilson factory explosion, the fake medicine, the murders to silence people! How did Mom really die?"For the first time, Zachary looked at Mia helplessly. Since she was very young, he had always protected her well, making her feel like she lived in a fairy tale. But even the most innocent person must eventually face harsh reality.This time, he sighed and said, "It's exactly as you saw."Mia couldn't believe it. Her eyes widened, her nose reddened, as she looked at him in confusion. "It was the Wilson family? Grandpa Wilson was involved?"After saying this, endless hatred erupted in Mia's eyes. Her crimson gaze seemed to drip blood. "I'll kill him!"She turned to leave, but Zachary immediately lunged forward and grabbed her. "Mia! You can't go!"Mia's strength reached its peak in that moment. She desperately tried to break free from Zachary's grip. "Let me go! Why are you

Mia explained somewhat bashfully, "Sarah, ever since you and my brother broke up, I've never seen him smile again. Every night when I go downstairs for water, I see him standing on the balcony looking miserable. I always ask what's wrong, but he never tells me. Until one day when he came home drunk, muttering your name."She paused before continuing, "Sarah, I know you were disappointed when my brother got engaged to Vivian. I still don't know why that happened. From what I can tell, you're the only one he's ever loved. I know you're both hurting, so I came up with this idea to create a chance for you to be alone together. But I never thought things would turn out like this. I'm sorry, Sarah. This isn't my brother's fault—please don't blame him."Sarah thought for a moment before saying, "Mia, can you help me with something?"Mia nodded eagerly. "What do you want me to do, Sarah?"Sarah motioned her closer and whispered something in her ear. After listening, Mia nodded solemnly.In

Seeing him helped Sarah gradually calm down. She looked around, trying to figure out where she was, but quickly remembered the photo in the study, accompanied by another headache."Zachary, what's the story with that photo in your study?" Sarah rubbed her head while staring intently at the man whose face briefly showed panic. She wouldn't give him any chance to back away."What are you talking about? What photo?" Zachary reached for a teacup. "Are you thirsty? You just woke up—have some water to soothe your throat."Sarah frowned, looking straight at Zachary. "I'm not thirsty. Don't change the subject! What's the deal with that photo?"Right—the photo.Just then, Mia timidly approached, wringing her hands nervously."Mia, how are you feeling?" Sarah asked with concern, shifting her attention.Mia said guiltily, "Sarah, I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have tricked you."When Sarah showed concern for her despite just waking up, Mia's guilt peaked. She hadn't expected Sa

She stared hard at this single photo, trying to uncover something more, but the longer she looked, the more her head ached. The pain felt like something tearing apart inside her, making her want to punch the wall.Meanwhile, in Mia's room, Zachary held both of Mia's hands while his eyes anxiously watched the door. Half an hour had passed—why hadn't Sarah returned?Mia continued struggling, her eyes also darting toward the door, quickly lowering her gaze to hide her concern from him.Zachary took a deep breath, released his grip, and said flatly, “Cut the act.”Mia fell silent immediately. She wasn't sure how her brother had figured it out, but she could only close her mouth sheepishly. "Zach, I—""Say no more. I'm going to check on her." Zachary couldn't wait another moment. He stood up and left.Mia followed right behind him. "I'm coming with you."When Zachary pushed open the study door, he saw Sarah collapsed on the floor. He instantly panicked and ran to her. "Sasa! Sasa, are

Zachary couldn't quite identify what he was feeling. He calmly signaled the housekeeper to fetch the reports.Sarah carefully opened the door and peeked at Mia hiding in the corner. She also took in the mess on the floor.It seemed Mia was experiencing severe emotional swings. Sarah couldn't use an aggressive treatment approach.Mia spotted Sarah.She blinked, then suddenly burst into tears and started reaching for more breakable items in the room.Sarah rushed in without concern for her own safety. First, she called out firmly, "Mia, stop!"Zachary followed her inside, instinctively positioning himself to Sarah's right, ready to protect her if anything unexpected happened.Seeing this, Mia secretly smiled to herself, more determined than ever to play matchmaker.In her excitement, she set her sights on a waist-high vase.Sarah's attention was completely focused on her. Following Mia's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately spoke to her with gentle authority, "Mia, no.

Zachary was unhappy with her tone, as if his sister had some incurable disease.Due to his good upbringing and manners, Zachary didn't lose his temper. He simply asked the housekeeper to see the doctor out, his face showing clear displeasure.This was already the fourth psychologist today. All of them were professor-level professionals for whom writing books was a minor achievement.The nanny specifically assigned to care for Mia also had tears in her eyes as she stared at the closed door with endless worry. "Mr. Reynolds, Mia hasn't eaten a single bite since this morning. We can't go on like this."Zachary irritably pinched the bridge of his nose and coldly ordered, "Aren't there still some candidates on our list? Send people to bring all of them here."The nanny bit her lip and gathered her courage to suggest, "Mr. Reynolds, I don't think bringing more experts will help. Why not ask Miss Sanders to try?"Zachary turned to look at her, his expressionless face making the nanny los

Mrs. Chancer anxiously watched Charlotte lying unconscious on the bed, barely hearing anything the hospital director was saying.James had regained his composure after learning that Charlotte was currently stable. He politely responded to the director, "Thank you. Please don't let us keep you from your duties."After speaking, he glanced at the housekeeper.The housekeeper instinctively stepped forward and extended his right hand courteously. "Director, please, let me escort you back."Mrs. Chancer sat on the stool that James had pulled over, staring at Charlotte's pale face with lingering fear, unable to look away for a long time.It wasn't that she truly cared for Charlotte; she was simply afraid of losing her chance to hold her first grandchild.James placed his hand on her shoulder and gently urged, "Mom, you've had a shock. Charlotte is fine now. Why don't you go home and rest?"Mrs. Chancer was still somewhat angry with him. "I'm not leaving. What if you leave the moment I'
