Chapter 480

Author: Summer Knowles
The police had even found this woman’s fingerprints on the rooftop.

And at the chocolate boutique, purchase records confirmed her order history.

It was all too perfect.

If Sarah hadn’t seen Vivian with her own eyes, hadn’t heard her cold confession that day—perhaps she, too, would have believed it.

Mrs. Mendes let out a bitter laugh, her expression vacant.

"I told you before—no one can fight against capital. People like us could struggle for a lifetime and still never reach their heights. For them, crushing us is as easy as stepping on an ant.

"Even when the evidence is laid bare, they’ll always have someone ready to take the fall."

Her voice was hoarse, empty.

Perhaps, before, her reluctance to speak had been instinctive self-preservation.

But now, when she had finally found the courage to seek justice—she realized how naive she had been.

Sarah shook her head, her voice quiet but firm.

"It’s because they are rotten to the core—so cruel they can erase a

    Melvin shook his head. "It’s useless. The top wineries produce limited quantities of wine each year, and they’ve already been snatched up by suppliers. The contracts are signed before the bottles even leave the vineyards." The global wine market was massive, but true premium wine had always been in short supply. Beyond vintage limitations, quality was another key factor. "So what can we do?" Sarah asked. "There’s one last opportunity. In two days, St. Ritz Hotel is hosting a wine-tasting gala. It’ll bring together winery owners from all over. This is our chance," Melvin said seriously. Sarah nodded in understanding. The gala wasn’t just a major event for East Coast—top sommeliers and vineyard representatives from all over the country would attend. Among them would be powerful figures who weren’t afraid of the Wilsons. This was Sanders Group’s only shot. Otherwise, they’d have to abandon this sector entirely. St. Ritz Hotel, 7pm.The entrance road to hotel was line

    Sarah’s arrival stirred a small wave of excitement throughout the banquet hall. "Oh my god, how does she still have the audacity to show up here? After everything that happened, she actually dares to come? Absolutely shameless!" "Exactly! That student jumped because of her! Even though people are trying to clear her name, who knows what really went on behind the scenes?" “Mr. Reynolds and Miss Wilson are practically engaged. Do you think she’s here just to cause trouble?" "Cause trouble? Please. What could she even do?" "I heard the Sanders are in trouble. They lost their wine suppliers, and she’s here to fight for a deal." As whispers and judgmental glances swept through the crowd, Sarah remained composed, unaffected by the scrutiny. Melvin, however, squared his shoulders, his cold gaze sweeping across those who dared to stare too long. He shielded her from much of the hostility, though he knew she didn’t care about their opinions. After a brief exchange, Melvi

    "Oh, don’t get me wrong," the woman sneered. "I just wanted to see what kind of thick-skinned person would still dare to show up here. You caused the death of a student, you’re literally her murderer. What, did you come here hoping to win back Mr. Reynolds?" She clicked her tongue twice in mock pity. "Such a shame. You should take a good look. Mr. Reynolds isn’t into women like you. Open your eyes and see who’s standing beside him. That’s the perfect woman, his childhood sweetheart, the one he truly loves. You’re delusional if you think you have a chance. A murderer like you will always be despised. If I were you, I’d leave now before making a fool of myself." "Exactly! You should just get out of here before you make yourself sick watching Miss Wilson and Mr. Reynolds together." Sarah set her wine glass down with a soft thud, the sound heavy against the table. "That’s why you’re not me." Her gaze turned icy as she looked at the woman. "Judging from your tone, I can al

    "And what if I did? Your mouth was spewing filth, so I simply helped you wash it out. Now, kindly get lost." "You f**king—!” The man’s face contorted with rage as he raised his hand, ready to strike. His arm cut through the air with force, the sound of wind trailing behind it. It was so sudden that Sarah barely had time to react. Instinctively, she squeezed her eyes shut, bracing for impact. But the expected pain never came. Instead, a sharp, agonized scream rang out. "Let me go! Who the hell are you?!" Sarah’s eyes snapped open. James had seized the man’s wrist mid-air, twisting it back with ruthless precision. The man’s arm bent unnaturally, like a twisted rope, his face contorted in pain. "And since when did the Fishers start running their mouths like this?" James said icily. "I’ll make sure to ask your father myself in a few days. "Now get lost!” The man, now realizing that James knew his father personally, instantly lost all his bravado and scram

    Sarah took sip after sip of her wine, trying to tune out the whispers. But the more she tried not to listen, the louder their words seemed to burrow into her mind. She let out a bitter chuckle. Maybe they weren’t completely wrong. No matter what anyone said, Tina had died because of her. Sarah’s gaze darkened as she turned toward the center of the gala. The real criminals, the ones behind the racetrack incident, the ones responsible for Tina’s death, were standing in the spotlight, basking in admiration. Vivian Wilson, hand in hand with Zachary Reynolds, smiling effortlessly at the cameras, secure in her place next to him. Meanwhile, Sarah sat in the shadows, the target of endless gossip and malice. Then, suddenly— "Shut the hell up!" The voice rang out across the room, cutting through the whispers like a blade. "You’re all full of crap! Zachary Reynolds himself cleared Sarah’s name in a public interview. Do you think you know better than him? Are yo

    Vivian sabotaged her from behind, while she had already found her next target. In this endless cycle, she could never escape the trap Vivian had set for her.When Sarah saw that Melvin was also making progress without any interference, she realized Vivian was targeting only her.She gave up looking for targets and sat quietly on the sofa.Sarah walked to the table, about to pick up a glass of wine when a voice suddenly appeared, "Don't drink that glass, it's been contaminated by the cork."She leaned in to smell it - indeed, there was a strong musty odor.She looked at the person who had been speaking, an elderly man in worn pants. "How could you tell?""I smelled it."She moved her hand to the glass next to it, and the same voice spoke again, "Don't drink that one either. The sulfur dioxide concentration is too high. These cunning merchants add preservatives excessively to the wine, not understanding what's actually good for health.""What about this one?" Sarah pointed to ano

    "You look so gentle and delicate, yet speak with such authority," the elderly gentleman said admiringly."Without decanting, wine's flavor drops a level, affecting the taste. If every server was this unprofessional, the whole wine tasting would lose its original purpose. All the wines would have contracted bodies, losing their initial brilliance," Sarah explained.The elderly gentleman nodded repeatedly in agreement. "Try these others then."Sarah didn't refuse, having nothing else to do.She put down one glass. "This wine tastes immature, like it was rushed out before proper aging."She set down another. "This one has a strong grape fragrance, but beyond that aroma, it has no taste at all.""This wine smells and tastes quite good, just the color is a bit off."...The elderly gentleman watched Sarah with satisfaction - she was expressing exactly what he was thinking.He led Sarah to a corner, making sure no one could see them, and pulled out a bottle from his jacket.He held

    "Me?" she chuckled. "So you're saying I'm your kindred spirit."Before they could finish their wine, Scarlett ran over, excitedly telling Sarah, "I just gave Steven a beating. If he wasn't so busy right now, I wouldn't let him off so easily!""Wait!" Scarlett suddenly sniffed the air. "This is... this is Second Flight! I can smell the Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, and that subtle plum aroma in the air."She turned sharply to Sarah. "Where's the wine?"Just the smell had her salivating - such wines were rare.Hearing her speak, the elderly gentleman had already decided to share the wine with her too."I must drink as much as I can now. Who knows when I'll encounter Second Flight again!"The elderly gentleman laughed at her words.While the three enjoyed their wine, music started playing in the hall.Even at a wine tasting, dancing couldn't be missed.As the three drank, all eyes turned to watch Zachary extend his hand to Vivian. "Miss Wilson, may I have this dance?"Vivian r

    Sarah nodded but remained silent. She had no desire to acknowledge these people—people who had nothing to do with her. But for the sake of her aunt… After losing her parents, her aunt and uncle had treated her well. Even if Amanda subtly pushed her toward this group, though it made her uncomfortable, she didn’t let it show. Sydney stood in the center, surrounded by her younger cousins, clearly the beloved darling of the White family. Everyone fawned over her, treating her like a princess. “So, you’re Sarah?” Sydney said with a smug smile. “I’ve heard so much about you. Heard you got divorced and then started fooling around with Zachary? But now you’re broken up too. Don’t take it too hard. After all, we’re talking about Vivian here. Of course Zachary would pick her over you. I mean, a divorced woman? That’s just… embarrassing.” She covered her mouth, pretending to stifle a giggle. The people around her joined in, laughing, their eyes filled with ridicule. Sarah

    But he still couldn't fully trust Vivian, despite his wavering heart."Michael, don't you believe me anymore?" Vivian asked, feigning disappointment.Michael, still thinking about what Zachary had said, asked again, "Just tell me honestly - did you do all this to marry Zachary? Your grandfather and his are discussing the engagement now, aren't they?"A cold glint passed through Vivian's eyes. She knew denying it was pointless - he'd find out when the engagement was announced anyway.Her patience exhausted, she said, "Yes, I already told you. Sarah was right - I love Zachary. So what will you do now? Tell the police the truth and send me to prison?"She burst out laughing. "Michael, you're so naive. Do you think the police would believe you? Do you have any proof?"Michael's face grew paler as Vivian continued, "Don't be foolish. You have no evidence, but I do. I have surveillance footage of you meeting Charlotte. When you two were planning everything, I made sure I wasn't involve

    "Alright." Though Sarah didn't know what her aunt was planning, this was still Melvin’s mother.She'd seen plenty of her aunt growing up, but always felt their relationship was oddly warm yet distant.Something felt off - her aunt must be planning something big.At Wilson Industries, Vivian was eating when her assistant approached, whispering something in her ear. Her face immediately darkened. "Why am I only hearing about something this important now?"The assistant quickly explained, "They wouldn't talk until this morning."Vivian hurriedly finished eating and had her assistant drive her to the prison.In prison, as Michael was led to the visiting room, he couldn't guess who'd come to see him.When he saw who it was, all his former excitement and hope were gone, replaced by resignation. He didn't know how to face Vivian, whether to confront her about Summit Corp or ask if she really planned to marry Zachary.They sat facing each other, silent for a long while.Finally, Micha

    For a moment, he thought he saw the study light switch on, and Sarah walking in gently, placing a steaming cup of coffee on his desk. "What are you doing?"He blinked, about to show her the album, when he heard his past self speak, "Working. Haven't I told you not to disturb me when I'm working?"James wanted to protest, but Sarah was already stammering, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have disturbed you."The memory sent a sharp pain through his heart. For three years of marriage, this was how he'd spoken to her, every single day.Just remembering it once was unbearable now.How must Sarah have felt, enduring this for three years? Maybe he should give up - some wounds couldn't be healed.The scene shifted, the door opening again."James, my cousin sent some tea. I don't know much about tea, but I thought you might like them." She placed the box carefully on his desk, anxious not to anger him.He knew the tea's value, knew she'd brought it specially for him.He wanted to say, "Thank y

    "Since we're both here on the East Coast, we should see more of each other. After all, your son and my niece were married. Even though they're divorced, our families could still be close," Mrs. Sanders smiled.Mrs. Chancer felt puzzled but nodded. "Yes, of course."She was only tolerating this for Mrs. Watson's sake."Oh dear," Mrs. Sanders sighed."Is something wrong?" Mrs. Chancer asked."It's my niece - such a troublemaker. I'm sure you have your own concerns too, Sylvia. I'll be frank - I can't stand that girl. Divorcing your son wasn't enough, she had to get your daughter-in-law imprisoned even though she was pregnant at that time - how cruel."Finding a sympathetic ear, Mrs. Chancer opened up. "You don't know the half of it. That girl must have some vendetta against our family. She's had my daughter thrown in prison multiple times, and now she's managed to get her committed to a psychiatric facility. My Lucy is perfectly healthy, but now she's being treated like a mental pa

    Any clear-headed person would see through such an obvious lie, but blinded by love, Michael had lost all reason. He'd convinced himself that if Zachary and Sarah got together, Vivian would be his."Mr. Luther, I never thought you'd be so gullible." Sarah sneered."Well, that's the truth. After everything fell apart, she came to see me once, and I decided to cover for her. I succeeded - everyone believes Charlotte was the perpetrator, and I was just being manipulated." Michael's eyes grew colder.Sarah studied him carefully. "Mr. Luther, I want you to repeat this in court.""In court?"Michael silently shook his head. "I've told you the truth. The rest isn't my concern. I hope you understand - I can't personally send the woman I love to prison."After all, he still cherished the memories from high school. He stood to return to his cell, but Sarah called after him."Please think it over."Michael nodded and left quickly.Meanwhile, James was ransacking his house looking for s

    Michael shook his head. "How's Dad doing?""Out of danger, but it hit him hard." His mother paused before continuing. "I've wanted to tell you - your father and I understand why you wouldn't marry because you loved her. But think about us. We're getting old, we can't help you much longer. If the company falls, your father might... Even if not for me, think of your father. After what Wilson Industries did, she's not worth it."Before they could say more, the guards came in to escort his mother out - visiting time was over.Just before she left, Michael called out, "Mom! I need to see someone."A few days later, Sarah walked into the prison wearing casual clothes. In the visiting room, Michael was already waiting on the other side of the table.Sarah approached emotionlessly. “Made up your mind?”Michael took a deep breath. "My mother told me everything. It matches what you said."He paused before continuing. "I'll tell you the truth, but you have to help the Luther family.""Hel

    Sarah wasn't making threats - Mr. Luther really had collapsed when Summit Corp broke their contract a month ago, spending two full days in emergency care.Of course, Michael knew none of this from prison.Hearing this, Michael jumped up, his eyes reddening. "What happened to my father?""Mr. Luther, please calm down. The Summit Corp situation hit your father hard - he collapsed.""Summit... was it the Wilsons?" Michael asked quietly.Sarah nodded. It wasn't a secret - everyone with any influence on the East Coast knew."Do you have proof?" Michael still seemed doubtful.Sarah's eyes turned cold. "Mr. Luther, anyone could tell you your father's still in the hospital. Why would I lie about this?"She walked toward the door, leaving him with one last thought. "Think it over, Mr. Luther. Vivian isn't as simple as you imagine. Everyone knows she loves Zachary. If not for yourself, think about your father and the company.”She strode out, leaving Michael to be escorted back by guard

    She placed her hand on Michael's shoulder and said softly, "Or perhaps... you loved her? A secret admirer?"Michael's breath caught noticeably, his breathing quickened, his chest rising and falling more rapidly.Sarah smiled. "Mr. Luther, even without your answer, your reaction tells me everything."Michael suddenly burst out laughing. "Sarah, that's just your speculation.""What did she tell you to make you help her so willingly? Did you think she'd be with you after this was all over?"Michael finally snapped, slamming the table. "Why are you really here? I won't answer any of your questions. The case is closed, everyone who hurt you has been brought to justice. I don't understand why you're suddenly visiting me."Sarah ignored his questions and said quietly, "Vivian is about to get engaged to the Reynolds family. Did you know that?"Michael's tense nerves snapped. He stared at Sarah in disbelief. "What? Wasn't Zachary in love with you?""Mr. Luther, I don't know what Vivian
