Chapter 344

Author: Summer Knowles
“How could he?” Charlotte silently questioned, her heart heavy with resentment. How could James treat her like this?

---

Adams University.

Sarah was in the middle of a meeting when Dean Larson informed her she would be attending a symposium in the northern part of the city. To ensure she wouldn’t have to return late at night, the school had even reserved a room for her at the Misty Island Hotel.

This news quickly reached Zachary.

That evening, Sarah checked into the Misty Island Hotel, unaware of the unexpected turn her night would take.

Late at night, Zachary found himself at the hotel, almost as if drawn there by an unseen force. Standing outside her room, he noticed the window was slightly ajar. He hesitated for only a moment before pushing it open and slipping inside, moving like a thief in the night.

As he approached the bed, Sarah’s eyes suddenly opened, her deep brown pupils glinting in the dim light as they locked onto him.

“You…” Sarah gasped, her mouth falli

    “Are you threatening me?” Vivian glared angrily at the man in front of her.The man remained calm and composed. “Not at all. I’m merely reminding you, Miss Wilson, that we’re in this together. If certain things were to come to light, I imagine your reaction would be quite dramatic.”Though furious, Vivian knew this was something Zachary must never find out about.“This is the last time,” she said coolly. “Go back and wait for my instructions.”Zachary had heard enough. He quietly left, not wanting to hear more. But the words stuck in his mind. The last time for what? Waiting for what instructions?Before their conversation ended, he had already slipped away, leaving the rest unanswered.---At the Misty Island Hotel, the morning session of the symposium had just concluded. Sarah was sitting in the restaurant, quietly eating her lunch, when a woman stormed in through the doors, her face twisted with anger. “Sarah! It’s me,” Charlotte said, glaring at her with venom.Sa

    Mrs. Chancer remained silent, unsure of how to respond. Lucy continued, her voice breaking with desperation. “Mom, you have to tell James to do something! If nothing else, have someone create a psychological evaluation report like last time. As long as they can prove I have mental health issues, I can be bailed out!” Her sobs grew louder. “Mom, I can’t stay here a single day longer!” Mrs. Chancer sighed deeply, feeling helpless. She had spent the past few days trying to convince James to get Lucy out, but her son had grown unyielding. He hadn’t even come home, let alone answered her calls. She understood that James had made up his mind this time. “I think your brother is determined not to help you this time. And it’s not just him—your grandfather even called specifically to tell us to leave you be.” Lucy stared at her mother in disbelief, clinging to her arm as tears streamed down her face. “Mom! Even if James and Grandpa don’t believe me, you have to! They’ve all been t

    Lucy stared fearfully at the two police officers. “What are you doing?” They didn’t answer. Instead, they escorted her out of the police station. Standing at the entrance, she saw Vivian leaning casually against a car door. “Get in,” Vivian said coolly. Once inside the car, it finally hit Lucy—she had been released! She looked at Vivian in disbelief. “Miss Wilson, you really got me out. But I still want to know—how did you do it?” After the incident at the stables, Zachary and Melvin had worked together to put pressure on the Chancer family. That was why James had refused to help her. It must have taken a lot to get her released under Zachary and Melvin’s watchful eyes. Vivian let out a soft laugh, her eyes filled with mockery. “It was simple—I just found a scapegoat.” The smile on Vivian’s face sent a chill down Lucy’s spine, making her shudder involuntarily. “You truly are remarkable, Miss Wilson,” Lucy said awkwardly, forcing a compliment. “Don’t celebr

    This was the first time Charlotte had truly let down her guard and revealed her emotions. She was on the verge of collapse, and the hatred in her eyes cut through the façade she had maintained for so long like a sharp arrow. Lucy smiled in satisfaction. “Don’t worry. Sarah’s greatest enemy isn’t us. From the very beginning, we’ve been standing on her side.” Charlotte’s gaze sharpened as she processed Lucy’s words. A glimmer of realization crossed her eyes. “You mean her? Now that’s a perfect ally.” “But before that, there’s something else I need to take care of,” Lucy said, her eyes dark with malice. ---At 6 p.m., James returned home after work, unaware that Lucy had been released. Massaging his temples, he braced himself for what awaited inside. He knew Mrs. Chancer would pester him again to help Lucy, and Charlotte would likely still be upset over the ongoing issues with Sarah. Suddenly, the door burst open, and Lucy stormed in, her face twisted in anger. “Jame

    Charlotte leaned against James’s shoulder, a satisfied smile on her face as she glanced at Lucy. ---On the weekend, Sarah had the day off. She made a simple breakfast—toast and eggs—but before she could take a bite, a loud knock interrupted her. Hurrying to the door, she opened it to see Scarlett standing there, her eyes red and swollen. Scarlett rushed in and immediately broke down, hugging Sarah tightly as she sobbed uncontrollably. “Sasa…” Scarlett’s voice trembled, clearly shaken by something serious. Sarah gently patted her back. “What happened, Scarlett? Take a deep breath and tell me.” After a long pause, Lindsey finally stood up, tears streaming down her face. “Sarah, my dad—he was in a car accident.” “What? How is Uncle Larson? Is he at the hospital?” Sarah asked anxiously. “My dad’s okay,” Scarlett said through her sniffles. “But his car crashed into another one. While my dad’s fine, the person in the other car hit their head on the airbag and now has n

    “Sasa, you’re the best,” Scarlett finally stopped crying, her voice trembling with gratitude. Sarah handed her a tissue to wipe her tears. “Uncle Larson has always been kind to me. I can’t just sit by and let something happen to him.” ---Early the next morning, Sarah got up with an uneasy feeling, as if everything was destined to go wrong. She bumped her hand against the table, leaving a large bruise. Then, during breakfast, she choked on her toast. Sitting on the couch, waiting for Scarlett, her anxiety only grew stronger. Their destination was Luther Estate, a luxurious neighborhood favored by the city’s wealthiest. When they arrived at one of the larger properties, Scarlett got out of the car first, followed by Sarah. Scarlett knocked on the door, but the butler who answered blocked her from entering. “Our young master doesn’t wish to see you,” he said curtly. Sarah stepped forward. “Scarlett, you can head back now. I’ll handle this.” Without hesitation, she f

    Inside the villa, the moment Sarah saw the men rushing toward her, she realized with a sinking heart—she’d walked straight into a trap.She knew Scarlett too well; Scarlett couldn’t have known about this.“What do you want?” Sarah demanded, her voice sharp and commanding.“What do you think?” Mr. Luther sneered, his smirk full of malice.With a glance, he signaled the men to surround Sarah, then stepped out of the room, leaving her alone with them.Desperately, Sarah scanned the room and found a small fruit knife. Clutching it tightly, she fought back, slashing at the men who lunged at her. The room echoed with groans of pain as some of them recoiled from her strikes, and Sarah darted around, trying to keep out of their reach. Despite the chaos, her sharp ears picked up snippets of a conversation outside the door. It was a woman’s voice—familiar but chillingly out of place.“Why aren’t you going in?” the woman asked.“That woman’s married,” a man replied casually. “I don’t tou

    Mr. Luther clicked his tongue in mock disapproval, reaching out to grab Scarlett’s chin, only for her to slap his hand away. His sly, narrow eyes gleamed with amusement, and his voice carried an unsettling, slippery charm. “You’ve already said it, haven’t you? It’s all for Sarah. You worked so hard to bring her here. I thought you’d have the sense to walk away quietly, but you barged in instead.” “What did you do to her? Where is Sarah?” Scarlett demanded, her voice sharp with fury. Mr. Luther’s smirk vanished. His eyes darkened as he leaned in closer, his tone icy. “I suggest you pretend none of this ever happened. Turn around, walk out the door, and I’ll make sure the feud between the Luther family and the Larson family disappears.” “You think I’d sacrifice Sarah just to save the Larson family?” Scarlett shot back, her voice trembling with rage. “Before I saw your disgusting true colors, I might’ve selfishly thought curing you could benefit my family. But now? You make me

    Sarah's expression softened as she looked at James seriously. "Although I did collect evidence of her crimes, she was arrested before I could take it to the police."In other words, Charlotte's arrest had nothing to do with her.James's eyes widened in disbelief.He couldn't believe Sarah wasn't behind the arrest. Then who could it be?"But besides you, who else would have reason to report her? Others wouldn't get involved," James said, frowning.Sarah gave a bitter laugh. "James, don't forget Charlotte has other enemies. Like Vivian, who wants to make her a scapegoat."James finally understood. Of course - Vivian! He remembered what Charlotte had said. Vivian was afraid Sarah would eventually discover her crimes, so she planned to make Charlotte take the blame.James sighed, speaking apologetically to Sarah. "Sarah, what Charlotte did was wrong, and Lucy wronged you too. Now Lucy's in a psychiatric hospital and Charlotte's in jail. For the sake of Charlotte's baby, could you wr

    "Charlotte's been arrested, and you're still here trying to convince me to take the blame?" Lucy said angrily.Mrs. Chancer’s face showed embarrassment at being exposed, but she remained firm. "Lucy, given how things have turned out, you need to be more understanding.""If Charlotte wasn't pregnant right now, I would protect you no matter what - you are my biological daughter after all. But the situation is different. She's carrying the Chancer family's only heir, and I must protect that child at all costs. Don't worry, even if you take the blame for her, your brother and I will do everything in our power to get you out."Lucy laughed bitterly. "Mom, you already said all this the last time you visited. Have you forgotten what happened then?"She found it ironic that since her detention and imprisonment, her mother had only visited twice - first to convince her to take the blame, which led to her suicide attempt, and now again with the same request.It had only been days since her

    She looked up at Zachary, who sat in front holding her hand. After all this time, they were holding hands again. She couldn't tell if the feeling in her heart was more bitter or sweet. Usually, Sarah would have pulled away without hesitation, but this time, for reasons she couldn't explain, she remained silent.For the first time, she wanted to follow her heart's true desires, just this once. She couldn't deny her feelings for Zachary - how she had hoped he would come find her, hold her hand just like this.His tall figure kept shifting left and right, shielding her from passing pedestrians. He was protecting her.Finally, they reached the riverside, where most couples had gathered to set their lights afloat on the water.Sarah found herself gently pushed to the riverside by the crowd, with Zachary staying close to protect her.She noticed the couples around them writing both their names and wishes on their floating lights, while hers only had her name."Wait a moment!" she sudde

    Charlotte's eyes welled up at her mother's words. "Mom, don't say that. James won't abandon me. He'll definitely save me."Even if James wouldn't save her, Mrs. Chancer surely wouldn't abandon her. She touched her stomach - if nothing else, they'd do it for the baby.The evening's peace was shattered when, just as Mrs. Chancer brought soup and Charlotte had barely taken two sips, the police came to take her away."What are you doing!" Mrs. Chancer screamed, grabbing Charlotte's arm.Charlotte hadn't expected this turn of events as she was led to the police car. At the hospital entrance, Mrs. Chancer angrily called James, then William.At Adams University, Sarah had just packed up to leave work when she encountered Zachary at the door. She was about to avoid him when she heard Scarlett's voice."Sasa! Don't go! Come with us to the winter light festival!"Winter Light festival?Sarah suddenly remembered the afternoon's heated discussions on the school forum about the winter light

    Though he hadn't attended, plenty of people had brought him recordings.At the mention of this, Vivian grew even more furious. "Grandpa! Mr. Anderson always claimed he thought of you as a brother, and this is how he treats us! He played his part so well, bidding on almost everything at the auction, making it look flawless. I really believed he was just unfortunate not to win anything. He's truly cunning."Mr. Wilson gazed out the window, his voice calm. "Did you really think that old fox saw you as his granddaughter? We're businesspeople - never trust anything tied to profit. You've completely forgotten everything I warned you about."Vivian felt wronged but had to accept it. She knew she had been careless.Mr. Wilson looked at the proposal before him, his voice icy. "Redo this proposal. Harbour Crescent has nice scenery. Though it's not on the new shipping route, East Coast is promoting tourism. If planned well, it could rival Pine Mist Island.""Yes, Grandpa." Vivian clenched he

    She was puzzled - why had Scott suddenly brought up parallel universes?Most people believed memory confusion existed due to interference from parallel worlds, but that explanation seemed like science fiction.From a psychological perspective, memory confusion typically stemmed from self-doubt.But there were exceptions, like major trauma or hypnosis.Sarah thought for a long time. She hadn't experienced any major trauma, but she couldn't be certain about hypnosis.Scott's voice came through again, "Parallel worlds in reality are hard to imagine, but think of them as parallel worlds in the mind. Each branch of time is a parallel world, and when stimulated, these branches can become tangled - that's memory confusion."He paused before continuing, "Of course, it's also possible there was no stimulus, but rather subconscious forgetting."Sarah understood what Scott meant. Subconscious forgetting was more frightening than trauma-induced amnesia - it was self-deception in its purest

    "Vivian, can I go out for a while later? I promise I'll come right back. You know how grandpa hasn't let me leave the house these days - I'm going crazy!" Mia pleaded pitifully.Vivian nodded, "Alright, but remember to come back early.""Thank you!"Half an hour later, Mia appeared at the door of Sarah's counseling office at Adams University. Fortunately, Sarah had no clients at the moment.She immediately rushed to Sarah's side. “Sasa, I've missed you so much these past days! Did you miss me too?""Of course I missed you, Mia. But I haven't heard anything from you."Mia pouted, "Grandpa kept me locked up at home. I couldn't contact you."Sarah quickly invited her to sit down and asked with concern, "How have you been lately? Any nightmares?"Mia shook her head, "I haven't had nightmares recently, but I keep having strange dreams.""What kind?""I keep dreaming about going to an amusement park with you, and I see you and my brother..." Mia's face turned red."What?" Sarah wa

    Her expression grew increasingly grave.But no matter how she pressed or what approach she took, Zachary wouldn't say another word. His fists were clenched tight, knuckles turning white.Sarah continued asking almost frantically in his ear, repeating the same questions over and over until finally, in their heightened emotional state, Zachary's eyes snapped open, bloodshot."There's nothing!" he growled.Sarah regained her composure. Though she hadn't gotten the final answers, she had learned something.Perhaps she and Zachary had known each other years ago, even before James. How had she forgotten it all?"Zachary, did we know each other before?" Sarah stared blankly.Zachary knew he hadn't revealed the crucial information. Instead of answering, he just shook his head."Zachary, why are you afraid to answer me?" Sarah no longer knew how to get the truth from him.Perhaps everything she had imagined was true, but Zachary didn't want her to know.There was a strong possibility

    Sarah's eyes dimmed, perhaps because of Vivian."Sasa, I'm not better. How could I be when you haven't forgiven me?" he said with a bitter smile."So what brings you for consultation today? Heartbreak again?" Sarah studied her fingertips.Zachary leaned back relaxedly. "Heartbreak. The person I love doesn't want anything to do with me. What should I do?"Sarah blinked. "Thank you for helping with the land deal. Did Vivian blame you?"Zachary shook his head. "Even if she did, she wouldn't show it."Things weren't this awkward even when he first met Vivian at the airport. Now, though they could sit together and discuss business, it always felt like there was a wall between them.Whenever he faced Vivian, his mind would flash to everything she'd done to Sarah.Lately, he'd been having bloody nightmares - seeing Sarah lying in a pool of blood in an abandoned factory, himself helplessly trying to reach her but blocked by a cold transparent wall.In his ears echoed a woman's despera
