Chapter 40

Author: Summer Knowles
Lindsey gazed at Lucy with admiration, laying on the flattery. "Oh my god, Lucy, your brother's so sweet! I heard CEOs are super busy, yet he makes time to pick up his sister!"

Lucy preened under the praise, smirking proudly. "Well, of course. My brother totally dotes on me. I'm his favorite."

"God, Lucy, I'm so jealous! You've got the looks, the family background, and such an amazing brother... I've never even been in a Maserati!" Lindsey gushed, secretly hoping Lucy would offer her a ride. She could already imagine the Instagram photos making her high school friends green with envy.

As expected, Lucy scoffed dismissively. "Look at you, acting like you've never seen luxury before. Fine, I'll have my brother give you a ride too!"

With that, Lucy strode toward James.

“James, what brings you here today?" she called out in an artificially sweet voice, basking in the attention from passing students. Sure, she'd always had a private driver, but James had forced her to keep things low-k

  • Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect   Chapter 1165

    “Miss Sanders! Please help me! I’m begging you!”Dr. Xavier’s voice blasted through the phone, raw and frantic, edged with sobs.For a split second, Sarah didn’t understand what had happened.But she had a feeling it was connected to the “someone is moving again” warning he’d mentioned days ago.“Calm down first,” she said coldly, her voice steady enough to rein him in.“Tell me exactly what happened.”Dr. Xavier gulped down a breath, barely regaining control.“My son… My son was taken! The nanny went to pick him up today and said his ‘family’ came to get him during school hours. But we checked the surveillance footage, those people aren’t our family members at all! Miss Sanders, this all started because of your case. You can’t leave me to die here!”Ice pooled through Sarah’s veins.These people were getting bolder by the minute.Mrs. Mendes still hadn’t been safely secured and now this.Dr. Xavier’s voice wavered, then went silent for a moment. When he returned, he sounded even

    Her heartbeat slammed wildly, completely out of control.“Sarah,” Zachary murmured, his voice low and hopeful, “you came down because you were worried about me, didn’t you?”The moment she heard that, reason instantly crushed whatever emotion had been pulling her toward him.Her expression hardened.She forcefully pushed out of his arms, ignoring the flash of hurt on his face.“Stop lying to yourself,” she said coldly. “Go home. If you don’t, I’ll call the police and report you for disturbing the neighborhood.”In truth, she simply couldn’t stand the idea of him standing outside all night, sleepless and alone.Zachary let out a bitter laugh and nodded.“All right. I’ll go. Just… head inside. It’s cold.”Sarah didn’t answer. She turned around and walked straight into the house without looking back.But after a few steps, she slipped into the shadow behind a wall and listened carefully.A moment later, she heard an engine start.Then fade.Zachary had left.Sarah stepped out

    After lunch, Sarah headed straight upstairs without giving Zachary—who watched her hopefully—even a glance.Only when her figure disappeared around the landing did Zachary’s expression finally fall, a quiet loneliness flickering across his face.Melvin let out a sigh and patted his shoulder.“Take it slow.”Zachary said nothing. He simply gathered the dishes in silence, murmured a soft “I’m heading out,” and left.As a man, Melvin couldn’t fully feel the weight in Zachary’s heart, but he understood it well enough.He looked toward the empty staircase, his eyes darkening.---That night, Sarah shot awake from a nightmare.Cold sweat drenched her back. The lingering terror chased away any remaining sleep.She slowly sat up, tried to calm her breathing, and only when her pulse steadied did she get out of bed. She pulled open the curtains.A quick glance at the night view froze her in place.Under the streetlight, a man leaned against a sleek black Range Rover, unmoving.Only th

    Sarah sat up slowly, still half-asleep. She rubbed her eyes and stared blankly into space for a few minutes, the way she always did after waking.The curtains opened automatically. Warm sunlight spilled into the room, and she couldn’t help but smile.She walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, pushed open the small ventilation pane, and inhaled the cool morning air. Her whole body relaxed instantly.After a quick wash, she glanced at her watch.Eleven thirty—still half an hour until lunch.With that in mind, she wandered lazily down the staircase.Halfway down, she noticed something strange.A faint aroma drifted through the house—light, but unmistakable.Had the housekeeper come early today?Sarah stepped into the living room and saw Melvin sitting comfortably on the sofa, flipping through a newspaper.“Why are we eating so early today?” she asked.Melvin lifted his eyes briefly and jerked his chin toward the kitchen.“You can ask the person in there.”Sarah paused.Eve

    Vivian raised a finger to her lips in a quiet “shh.”Mrs. Mendes immediately clamped a hand over her own mouth. Tears streamed silently down her face.Vivian picked up her phone and dialed.It rang for a long time before someone answered.Sarah’s cold voice came through the speaker.“Vivian. I know it’s you.”“At least you’re not that stupid,” Vivian said lightly. “Mrs. Mendes has something to tell you.”She held the phone up to the trembling woman.Mrs. Mendes spoke quickly, voice uneven.“Miss Sanders, I won’t reopen the case. Don’t look for me anymore. Tina died because she was unlucky. We… we have to move on.”Vivian pulled the phone back, a mocking curve on her lips.“Did you hear that?”“Vivian, so it was you who took them,” Sarah said with a low laugh. “But do you really think this ends here?”Vivian chuckled. “You think this is the only move I have? And Sarah, don’t be so sure you’ve already won just because Zachary Reynolds is standing on your side. He may be the king

    She had, of course, heard the rumors—the breakthrough with the new experimental drug.But hearing it and being able to do anything about it were two very different things.Vivian stared at her grandfather lying unconscious on the hospital bed. Exhaustion clouded her eyes.On top of trying everything to wake him, she also had to keep Wilson Corp from collapsing entirely.Henry was like rot wedged deep in the company’s bones, eating away at it piece by piece.And she was powerless to stop him.Wilson Corp was nothing but a pile of dry bones now. Unless Zachary Reynolds chose to intervene, the company’s chances of recovering were slim.Of course, there was one other possibility—Leon Spencer.The rich and powerful heir she had brought back from Country H, her supposed ally, had fought beside her for months… only to finally betray her and join forces with Henry.Just as her thoughts started to spiral, her phone rang.It was her assistant.“Miss, it’s done.”Vivian’s voice dropped
