Chapter 416

Author: Summer Knowles
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

    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

    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 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

    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

    Sarah accepted the completed assessment, taking out a red pen to mark it carefully.Soon, she placed another test in front of Zachary, speaking softly, "Answer one question of mine for each math problem you solve."She picked up a timer.Though confused, Zachary nodded hesitantly.Sarah watched him bend over the paper seriously. The test contained standard calculus problems - not particularly difficult, but requiring careful attention to avoid mistakes."Did you have a girlfriend three years ago?" she asked.Zachary's pen trembled - he hadn't expected such a... direct question.After a moment's thought, he replied, "Yes."Sarah watched him complete the first problem, pressed the timer, and recorded the time.As Zachary started the second problem, Sarah spoke again. "Tell me, was your girlfriend Vivian?""No!" he answered firmly."Then did you know me?" she asked next.Zachary wrote the next line and said, "I'm done."He slowly put down his pen, unwilling to continue after

    Mrs. Chancer pointed at Sarah's face angrily. "You b*tch! You're doing this on purpose. You know Charlotte is also a victim - it was all Vivian's doing! Why not prosecute her? Are you just picking on the weak?"Sarah scoffed, "Don't you know Vivian was the one who released the evidence against Charlotte? She's really the mastermind, isn't she? You're here confronting me but not her - who's really picking on the weak?""You-!" Mrs. Chancer’s face turned pale with anger. Sarah maintained her composure, looking at her coldly. "Please leave. You're not welcome here."As Mrs. Chancer left, she threatened, "We'll see about this!"In the psychiatric hospital, Lucy had just finished breakfast. After so many days there, she'd started to adjust. She'd lost all hope after her mother's repeated attempts to make her take the blame.She'd even begun to fear visitors, not wanting to hear more cold words from people she once trusted.Yet an hour later, she saw her mother again.She was sitting

    Lucy sighed. She couldn't believe her mother would say this. Mrs. Chancer saw her determination, but Charlotte was carrying the Chancer family's heir - if she was sentenced, that child would be born with a stigma.Suddenly, Mrs. Chancer knelt before Lucy.I’ll do it!" Lucy said through gritted teeth.She thought she could give up everything for personal gain, but seeing her mother kneel down, she couldn't control herself.After the winter light festival, Sarah felt a strange ache in her heart that she'd never experienced before.She didn't know how to handle her relationship with Zachary. The coldness she'd maintained before seemed to have transformed after the festival into something caught between distance and warmth.She was driving across the city bridge connecting East Coast to Pine Mist Island. The bridge had been neglected for years since the island was abandoned.The bridge took about 10 minutes to cross. She hadn't even left Pine Mist Island when she noticed something

    Sarah drove forward desperately with the two black cars in close pursuit.Her phone kept ringing, but she didn't dare move to answer it in her current situation. The tires made horrifying sounds as they scraped against the road.Dust kicked up behind them as the pursuing cars seemed bent on a suicide mission, repeatedly trying to ram her. She knew it must be Zachary calling, surely panicked after hearing her earlier words.But with the relentless pursuit behind her, she couldn't let her guard down for even a moment.She had underestimated their determination. At one turn, her mind started to blur and consciousness began to fade. She bit down hard, forcing herself to stay alert.The mountain road was narrow and steep - one slip meant certain death from the fall. With no streetlights in the darkness, it was even more treacherous. The cars behind kept flashing their high beams, making her eyes hurt.In that split second of distraction, one of the cars rammed her hard. The violent im

    "I saw the news. Did Zachary bring her here?" Melvin asked, looking displeased.Sarah shook her head. "Vivian came too, they were together."Melvin's expression suddenly turned grave. He studied Mia closely - her condition was clearly very poor, anyone could see that.So was this connected to Vivian?He couldn't be certain, but he knew there was no one else it could be.Melvin pulled some documents from his bag and handed them to her. "See for yourself."What's this?Sarah opened the file - it was the investigation report on Tina Mendes.Tina Mendes, nineteen years old, normally gentle and quiet - everyone's idea of the "perfect daughter."But she noticed the neighbor's comments: "Well, Tina was a good kid, just unlucky to have such a mother! Her mom would take out her anger on her daily, beating and yelling at her, always demanding money. How could a college student have money to give? And she had a brother too, who ran wild all day. Poor Tina - now that she's gone, I don't

    In this blood-red world, she could almost smell the thick scent of iron, mingled with the lingering stench of something burning in the air. Amid this suffocating despair, a gentle hand rested on her shoulder. "Mia?" Who was calling her? Mia’s gaze was lost in a haze of confusion and agony. She could no longer see the world clearly, only the overwhelming, suffocating red that consumed everything. But that voice—it was warm and familiar. It was someone she trusted. Someone she relied on even more than her own brother. No, that wasn't right. This wasn’t just trust. It was an instinctive dependence, forged in the depths of terror. A reliance born from being trapped in the same abyss. Sarah? She turned her dazed eyes in the direction of the voice. And in the midst of the blood-drenched world, a figure appeared. A real, living person. Someone who wasn’t red. Someone who looked… normal. "Sarah…" she murmured. Sarah Sanders seemed to sense the weight of Mia’

    Professor Wells furrowed his brows slightly. “Mrs. Mendes, we understand your grief, and the university is willing to provide some form of compensation for Tina Mendes’ passing. However, demanding one million is simply not possible. If you continue disrupting the school’s order at the main gate, we will have no choice but to involve the police.” Though both Professor Wells and Dean Larson appeared calm and composed, their words left no room for negotiation. For once, Mrs. Mendes fell silent, glaring at them viciously. “Fine! Call the police then!” Professor Wells didn’t hesitate—he pulled out his phone and started dialing. But just as he pressed the second digit, his phone was suddenly snatched away. “You really dare? Do you think there’s no law in this country?” she shrieked. On the other side, Dean Larson calmly raised his own phone, turning the screen toward her so she could see the number he was dialing. “Calling now—Adams University main gate. Someone is deliberatel

    For a moment, Mrs. Mendes was stunned, as if she hadn’t expected Dean Larson to apologize so decisively.She clutched the black-and-white photo of her daughter tightly, her hands trembling slightly. Her expression grew complicated—this apology left her without an excuse to continue making a scene.Her face was pale. “It wasn’t you who killed my daughter—it was Sarah Sanders! Why isn’t she the one apologizing?”“Miss Sanders has already been suspended and is staying at home,” Professor Wells explained calmly. “There is no conclusive evidence proving that Miss Sanders was responsible for Tina Mendes’ death. The current suspension is only a temporary measure due to the media pressure at the school gates—it’s for Miss Sanders’ safety.”By stating this, he was drawing a clear line—if the media twisted the narrative, it would be on them.At this point, with Dean Larson’s apology, Mrs. Mendes had been pushed into a corner.She hesitated, her voice faltering. “Sarah Sanders killed my dau

    Professor Wells nodded. "Not just Mrs. Mendes—the reporters are still holding their ground too."Dean Larson let out a cold chuckle. "They’re certainly persistent."Professor Wells sighed. "It’s not surprising. This is Adams University, a top institution with a century of prestige. The school has never had a scandal like this, and now that they’ve found an opening, they won’t let go easily."He paused before adding, "But it’s not just about the university. You know as well as I do—Sarah has a complicated background. People are just waiting to find something they can use against her. And now, with Mia suddenly having a breakdown right in front of the reporters… They’re practically salivating over this.""I know," Dean Larson said, cutting him off.Professor Wells hesitated before continuing, "But we can’t let this go on any longer. The board of trustees has already caught wind of it, and they want immediate action."Dean Larson’s expression darkened. "The board? Hah. Nothing ever

    "A cloned license plate?" Zachary's mind stirred.For some reason, his thoughts drifted back to three years ago—another van, just like this one, had appeared, and that incident had left Mia with deep, irreparable psychological trauma.The assistant nodded respectfully. "Yes, sir. A cloned plate. There’s no way to trace it."Sarah sat beside Mia, watching her closely. It had taken so much effort just to get Mia to calm down.Vivian stood to the side, silently observing the two of them—Sarah gently comforting Mia while Zachary spoke with his assistant.She felt like an outsider.Her hands instinctively clenched behind her back, fingers digging into her palm.It was suffocating.A feeling she couldn’t describe.It came from Sarah.It came from the way Zachary and Sarah existed in a space where no one else could step in.Zachary finally turned his gaze toward Vivian. His voice was polite, but distant. "Mia’s stable now. You should head back to the company."Vivian froze for a m

    "Hiring Miss Sanders as Mia's psychologist was my decision. I trust her ability. Do you have a problem with that?" Zachary’s voice was sharp, his patience wearing thin. Seeing Mia in this state, he had no energy for pleasantries with Vivian. His tone softened slightly, but his words carried an unmistakable weight. "Vivian, let me put it this way. Suppose I walk down a road and trip over a pit. Maybe I consider filling it, but for one reason or another, I don’t. But if I walk that road again, and that same pit still trips me up… I won’t just fill it. I’ll dig it wide open. I’ll clear out every rotten branch, every piece of decay lurking inside, and only then will I bury it for good." Vivian swallowed hard. "I… don’t know what you’re trying to say." "You don’t have to understand. Just remember it." The car soon pulled up in front of the Sanders’ residence. Zachary’s assistant got out and knocked on the door while Zachary immediately called Sarah. "Mia’s having an epi

    Whether Mia’s condition had anything to do with Sarah or not, one fact was undeniable—despite undergoing treatment for so long, she was still not cured. Mia had suffered multiple episodes in the past, though the exact reasons remained unknown. However, most people believed that a patient undergoing treatment shouldn’t be having frequent relapses—especially not one as severe as this, and definitely not in front of a crowd. Mia’s terrified screams echoed through the air, her expression one of pure horror. Even some of the most seasoned reporters, used to witnessing intense and dramatic scenes, felt a chill run down their spines as they watched her. Mrs. Mendes desperately tried to calm Mia down, speaking softly and attempting to console her, but nothing worked. Meanwhile, at Reynolds Corporation, Zachary was in the middle of an important meeting, completely unaware of the chaos unfolding outside Adams University. His assistant, clearly flustered, burst into the conferen

    Mia's mouth fell open in disbelief, her body wracked with uncontrollable tremors. The woman's screams had not stopped. She sobbed until she was gasping for air, but the men had no intention of letting her go. The torture continued. Mia's entire body convulsed, the sounds of crackling flesh from the fire filling the room with an eerie, sickening noise. The grotesque popping and hissing made her wish she could lose consciousness on the spot. But the more she wanted to faint, the clearer her mind became. Her vision was swallowed by red. Everything— her entire world—was drenched in red. She could no longer see any other color. "Help me! Help me! They're monsters! Monsters!" she shrieked, her voice breaking into hysterical screams. The man watched her reaction with satisfaction. With a casual wave of his hand, the two men behind him dragged the blood-soaked woman’s lifeless body away, leaving only him and Mia in the room. But Mia was no longer herself. Her ey
