Chapter 366

Author: Summer Knowles
Zachary led Sarah through a narrow alley. The high brick walls cast long shadows, and ornate Victorian-style eaves loomed overhead. The cobblestone path beneath their feet felt cool, and wild poppies bloomed stubbornly in the corners where wall met ground.

At the end of the path, Zachary pushed open a weathered wooden gate and led Sarah inside. The overgrown grass-lined path meandered through the garden, stirring a sense of familiarity within her. The backyard was well-maintained, with a majestic oak tree standing sentinel in the western corner.

As they entered the main building through the backyard, Sarah's eyes widened in recognition.

Heritage House?

Heritage House was a prestigious antique shop, renowned for its collection spanning from medieval artifacts to early 20th-century pieces. However, given the unique nature of antiques, most displayed items were museum-quality replicas. The originals, privately owned by collectors, were only available for sale when their owners chose

    The display cases on the top floor were far superior to those downstairs. Each antique required careful preservation - these were true treasures that could be damaged by the slightest mishandling. Unlike the items below, this floor housed genuine antiques, with glass cases labeled with each piece's name and history.Sarah and Zachary spent considerable time browsing the top floor before finally purchasing an antique.Once outside, Sarah studied him with surprise. "Why are you helping us?”"I'm not just helping the Sanders family - I'm helping myself," Zachary replied, his eyes dark and intense.Sarah didn't press further, assuming it was about business interests.Though the Wilson and Reynolds families were old friends, Zachary naturally wanted to prevent the Wilsons from surpassing his family's influence.After dropping Sarah home, Zachary returned to his own house.Steven had been distracted all day at St. Ritz, his thoughts consumed by images of Scarlett.Though he couldn't

    Memories crashed over her like a violent storm, forcing her to relive moments she'd rather forget, playing out vividly before her eyes."Scarlett, don't go," Steven pleaded, his head pounding.His friend turned to Scarlett. "Miss Larson, we'll leave him with you."Before she could protest, they vanished into the night. Scarlett stared in disbelief. "Hey, you can't just..."As she tried to leave, Steven wrapped his arm around hers. She tensed up and pushed him away. "What... what are you doing?""You take advantage of me and then try to run? Just walk away after getting what you wanted?" Steven gripped her arm tightly."Who took advantage of whom?" Scarlett wanted to shove him to the ground. If anyone was a victim here, it was her!Steven clung to her arm, refusing to let go.Scarlett glanced around anxiously - they were right outside her home. If her parents saw this, it would be a disaster."What do you want? Let me go!"Scarlett twisted away from Steven's grasp and hurried

    Zachary leaned back against the sofa, raising his wine glass for another sip. The moonlight cast a pale glow on his face, making him look like a lifeless Greek statue.Finally, at two in the morning, their drinking session came to an end.Zachary helped Steven to the guest room and laid him down, but then heard him mumbling something. "What did you say?"He leaned in closer to make out what Steven was muttering."Scarlett... how could you be so irresponsible..."Zachary's lips curved into a slight smile - so Scarlett was the cause of his heartache.He took out his phone and recorded Steven's mumbling.In two days, Mr. Anderson of Meridian Group would celebrate his birthday. To give back to society, he had decided to host his birthday celebration as a charity auction. Attendees needed to contribute one of their collectibles for auction, with all proceeds going directly to charity.Without doubt, this grand auction would be East Coast's most talked-about event, especially since t

    Sarah noticed the sadness in her eyes and suddenly grabbed Scarlett's hand. "Let's try something," she said seriously."Try what?"Her voice was soft and convincing. "Let's see if he likes you.""What?"Sarah took out her phone and played the recording for her. "When he was drunk, he kept saying your name. Zachary sent this to me. Why not give it a chance? If you feel even a little something for him."A faint blush appeared on Scarlett's face. "Alright, let's try."That evening, Sarah called Steven. "Steven, I'd like to bring some friends to St. Ritz for dinner tonight. Are you available?"After all, this show couldn't go on without its main character.At seven-thirty, Sarah arrived at St. Ritz with Scarlett. Steven froze when he saw Scarlett - he hadn't expected her to be one of Sarah's friends.Just as he placed the menus on Sarah's table, he saw Scarlett waving excitedly toward the entrance."Over here!" Sarah smiled knowingly and explained, "This is Scarlett's boyfriend."

    "Stop!" Scarlett noticed something was wrong.She dipped her spoon in the soup and tasted it."It's so salty!" She quickly gulped down some water.Angrily throwing down her spoon, she said, "Sarah, Steven's gone too far."Sarah couldn't help but smile. "Don't drink any more."The rest of the dinner proceeded normally, with Steven maintaining a polite, professional smile. On the way home, Scarlett's eyes reflected unmistakable disappointment."See? I told you he doesn't like me."Sarah consoled her, "Don't rush to conclusions. Maybe he hasn't processed it yet, or it was too much for him to handle."Scarlett went home distracted. After getting ready for bed, she lay there for a long time, thinking about what had happened at the bar that night.Checking her phone, it was already eleven. Just as she closed her eyes to sleep, her phone rang.The name on the screen nearly made her drop her phone - it was Steven.She rushed to answer but accidentally hung up in her nervousness. Her

    Scarlett lowered her eyes, unable to look at him. "Let's just pretend nothing happened between us. It was all a misunderstanding..."Steven laughed coldly. "A misunderstanding? You call that a misunderstanding? You're really making me angry now."Scarlett cringed internally - was he acting out some cheesy romance drama?"You're overacting.""Break up with him immediately," Steven said coldly. "I remember everything from that night perfectly. You need to take responsibility!"Scarlett stared at Steven's face, slightly dazed. She asked calmly but firmly, "So why are you really here? Just to tell me to break up?""..." Perhaps it was her determined gaze, but Steven found himself at a loss for words.Of course, he hadn't come just to tell Scarlett to break up - he wanted to suggest they give things a try.But why couldn't he muster the courage to say so? Scarlett pressed on, "Or do you want to be with me? Do you actually like me? Or are you just here playing the responsible guy b

    Charlotte entered the ballroom on James's arm, wearing a pink tulle gown that screamed haute couture.She deliberately rested her hand on her stomach, stroking it subtly while giving Sarah a challenging look."Ms. Sanders, it's been a while." Her smile was gentle, as if they were merely friends and nothing had happened between them.Sarah gave her a brief glance without responding and took her seat beside Melvin.Their table was right in the center. Though the Sanders family wasn't quite as prominent as the Reynolds, they still held significantly more influence than Chancers.Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance as reporters rushed forward to greet the new arrivals.Sarah looked over to see Zachary and Vivian walking in.With all the recent rumors about these two, naturally the reporters wouldn't miss this chance for a story.Zachary and Vivian were also seated at the main table, directly across from Sarah and Melvin."Miss Sanders, lovely to see you," Vivian smiled

    The piece finally sold for nine hundred thousand, leaving James with clenched fists.Mr. Anderson's lack of interest meant their plan for the birthday celebration had failed.He didn't bid on the next few items either, watching silently as others claimed them.Then came Vivian's contribution. The attendants brought up a long case containing a painting. Uniquely, it was a portrait of a religious figure - but with a striking twist: the face bore a clear resemblance to Mr. Anderson. When the image appeared on the large screen, Mr. Anderson's fingers twitched, unconsciously tapping the table.Vivian smiled, knowing this wasn't just any religious portrait. She was sure Mr. Anderson had noticed its significance immediately.Sarah watched the painting with grave concern. Vivian had been too bold - creating a religious portrait with Mr. Anderson's likeness.Inevitably, no one else would bid on it. Everyone could see this was Vivian's special tribute to Mr. Anderson. No one wanted to cr

    Perhaps due to her extreme emotional state, Charlotte quickly fell asleep.She had a dream.In her dream, she had just gotten off a plane and spotted James in the distance, elegantly leaning against his car waiting for her. In that moment, his eyes were fixed only on her.Charlotte ran toward him happily, wanting to throw herself into his arms and hold him tight.However, halfway there, she saw another woman appear from the side who ran straight into James's welcoming embrace.She could clearly see that James's eyes were filled with affection, without sparing even a glance in her direction."No, this can't be real. Who is she?" Charlotte shook her head in disbelief as she walked closer step by step. When she saw the woman's face, she instantly fell apart."Sarah Sanders, why is it you again? Why do you keep haunting me? James is mine. Don't you dare try to take him away." Charlotte lunged forward like a madwoman, trying to separate them.A mist enveloped the couple, and the scen

    The guard at the door was easy to convince. She made up a simple excuse about having a stomachache or needing to see a doctor.The police still sent someone to follow her to the building entrance. When they arrived, the officer blocked her path. "Ms. Garnett, please go back. Without approval, you can't see anyone except your doctor.""Not even my husband? My stomach hurts terribly. I need to see my husband to feel at ease," she pleaded.But the officer wouldn't budge. "Ms. Garnett, please return!"Just then, the officer received a phone call. After listening for a few moments, the officer stepped aside.Charlotte walked in confidently, wearing sunglasses with her head held high.The receptionist greeted her politely, "Miss, who are you here to see? Do you have an appointment?"Charlotte removed her sunglasses, frowning slightly with an annoyed tone, "I'm here to see your CEO, James Chancer. Do I really need an appointment?"The receptionist was new and didn't recognize Charlotte

    As Mrs. Sanders kept talking, not only did Sarah stay silent — she actually started laughing.Mrs. Sanders frowned. “What are you laughing at?”Sarah’s gaze turned cold. Her voice was calm but sharp. “Shouldn’t matters between us younger people be handled by us directly? Wouldn’t it sound bad if word got out that you’re getting involved like this?”She paused for a second, then added with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Besides, no matter what, I’m still the biggest shareholder in Sanders Group. Firing an employee is well within my rights, don’t you think?”Right now, Sarah was actually glad Mrs. Sanders had finally dropped the act and shown her true colors. At least it saved Sarah the trouble of pretending to be polite.Mrs. Sanders still wore the kind, gentle smile of an elder, but her voice turned colder underneath. “So what, you’re using your position to pressure me now?”Sarah laughed softly. “You’re joking. How would I dare?”Without bothering to continue the

    Later that night, Sarah went downstairs with her empty glass to get some water. But just as she passed by the living room, she overheard a conversation between Melvin and Mrs. Sanders.“You’re really impossible to talk to, you know that?” Mrs. Sanders sounded both angry and disappointed. “It’s not just me — everyone in the family has been trying to convince you. Sarah studied psychology, not business. She has no experience at all. The entire Sanders Group is depending on you.”Melvin’s voice, on the other hand, was clearly filled with impatience. “I’m pretty sure I told you a long time ago, stop bringing up anything about Sarah.”Mrs. Sanders snorted coldly. “How can I not bring it up? It’s just that you’re willing to work like a fool without asking for anything in return. If you’re just going to be a tool to manage Sanders Group for someone else, I really don’t understand why you’re doing all this.”She paused, then added, “By the way, your aunt hinted to me earlier — she wa

    Melvin forced a small smile.He honestly didn’t know how his mother could scold him so viciously over the phone just a few days ago… only to turn around tonight and act like nothing had happened, praising him in front of everyone.Mrs. Sanders finally seemed to notice Sarah as well. She smiled politely and nodded. “Sarah, you’re here too? Come on in.”Many of the Sanders family elders were there tonight. When Uncle Shawn saw Sarah, his face lit up with joy. He quickly pulled her over to sit at the main table beside him.“Sasa, you must have had a rough time in West Ridge. Later, I’ll ask the kitchen to make all your favorite dishes, just for you.”Sarah’s heart warmed at his words. Uncle Shawn really did treat her like his own daughter.But when she glanced to the side, she noticed Mrs. Sanders looking at her coldly — like she was staring at an enemy.Tonight’s birthday banquet wasn’t just a family gathering. Even members of the White family were there.The moment Madam White

    Zachary still didn’t respond.Vivian straightened up and slowly walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. Her voice was calm, but every word was filled with accusation.“Zachary, let’s not pretend. We both know perfectly well — while you were gone, Sarah disappeared too. Are you really expecting me to believe that the two of you weren’t together?”She paused, her eyes fixed on the distant view outside.“I always thought that since you agreed to get engaged to me, you’d take responsibility. I believed you wouldn’t be out there tangled up with her. Was I wrong?”Zachary let out a soft, mocking laugh.“You believed.” His voice was low and cold. “But just because you believe something… does that automatically make it true?”Vivian froze — then suddenly let out a loud, crazed laugh, like she had completely lost control.She turned around, her eyes burning as she pointed at him. “Then tell me! Tell me whether it’s true or not! Where exactly did you go? Who were you with?”She to

    Vivian smiled sweetly, though her words were sharp underneath.“Like you said, I’m Zachary’s fiancée. Of course, I wouldn’t say anything reckless. Out of responsibility, since this contract was signed by both of us, I have an obligation to make sure things are handled properly.”Her words sounded kind and reasonable on the surface, but everyone in the room could hear the meaning behind them.Mr. Robertson, who had been quietly watching this back-and-forth, already understood exactly what kind of person Vivian was. But between Zachary and Vivian, it was clear where his loyalties lay — with Vivian.“Mr. Steven, why don’t we call Mr. Reynolds over?” Mr. Robertson suggested calmly.Steven’s eyes narrowed slightly. “Zach…”But before he could finish, a deep, cold voice rang out from the doorway.“Mr. Robertson, have you ever thought about the possibility… that these parts aren’t from Reynolds Corporation at all?”The conference room door swung open.Zachary walked in slowly, calm

    Melvin's expression grew unusually serious, a rare sight for him. It was clear he was holding back his anger.“Sasa,” he said, his voice low, “I don’t think you should go this time either. Even if you want to go back… I’m afraid there are people who don’t want you to.”Sarah’s face paled slightly. “Melvin, are you talking about…” She didn’t finish the sentence — she didn’t want to say that person’s name in front of him.But how could Melvin not know who she meant? His face became even more stern.“Sasa, honestly, neither of us needs to say the name out loud — we both know exactly who we’re talking about. I’ve told you before, I’ll always protect you. No matter who tries to hurt you, I’ll stand by you.”His eyes were sharp. His voice was calm but full of strength.“And you’ve done nothing wrong,” Melvin continued. “Some people are just too greedy. That’s why they keep setting traps, again and again, willing to do anything to get what they want. But I’m not that kind of person. I’l

    James walked back home, looking completely defeated, only to find his mother in the middle of a phone call.Ever since he discovered that his mother had some kind of secret connection with Mrs. Sanders, he had been extra cautious about any of her phone conversations. And today, sure enough, he happened to overhear her mentioning Sarah.“This time, Sarah won’t be able to get away for sure. We’re allies, I wouldn’t lie to you.”“Don’t worry, just leave this matter to me. Mrs. Sanders, once your son gets control of Sanders Group, don’t forget…”Mrs. Chancer casually glanced toward the doorway — only to spot her son standing there. She immediately cut herself off, “I’ll talk to you later. James just got home.”After hanging up, James walked in, pretending like he hadn’t heard anything. “Mom, who were you just talking to on the phone?”Mrs. Chancer brushed him off lightly, “Don’t overthink it. Just a friend of mine… my card-playing buddy.”James obviously didn’t believe that excu
