Chapter 485

Author: Summer Knowles
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

    ”Together with an old man, how ridiculous.""Has Sarah really gone mad, dancing with a homeless!”"Shh, keep your voice down. People at wine tastings aren't ordinary folk, watch what you say.""Look at his shabby clothes - he can't possibly be anyone important."Under the spotlight, Zachary and Vivian danced the waltz. Vivian's hand rested lightly on his shoulder as she gazed at his handsome face, momentarily distracted because his eyes were focused not on her, but on...Nearby, Sarah danced with the elderly gentleman. Though time had whitened his hair, it couldn't diminish his upright bearing. Through time's tunnel, she could almost see his youthful demeanor.No, something wasn't right!She looked sharply at Zachary, whose eyes held a subtle smile. This elderly gentleman was no homeless!He was...!As the orchestra played the waltz, Sarah saw for the first time how serious the elderly gentleman looked. He kept his eyes downcast toward her, as if trying to see through her to a

    Looking around the hall, Sarah saw the tower of wine glasses and various wine bottles in the corner. Though there were many varieties and unique packaging, including expensive wines, no one would actually bring out a wine worth millions for tasting."Not impressed yet? The wines available in the market aren't truly precious collector's items. Real top-tier wines have long been stored away in cellars by connoisseurs. Recently, Sotheby's sold a Romanée-Conti for over three million. I was envious for a long time, but I found out too late." The elderly gentleman spoke regretfully, his pained expression genuine."Mr. Sadberry, that wine is at my home. Grandpa and Zachary drank half the bottle last time, with the other half still in our cellar. It's a 1945 vintage, with an exceptional aged taste. Why don't I invite you on grandpa’s behalf to finish the remaining half?" Vivian's clear, bright smile was naturally engaging.Sarah looked up. Vivian stood before the elderly gentleman, with Zac

    "When did you meet Mr. Sadberry?" Melvin had come up behind Sarah."I didn't know him before. Just met him while drinking wine."Melvin patted Sarah's head. "The host of today's wine tasting is named Sadberry. Only he could gather so many important people."Sarah froze. How could she forget - any event where both Zachary and Vivian appeared wouldn't be a small gathering, but something significant.She had guessed the elderly gentleman must be someone important, but hadn't imagined he was from the Sadberry family.The Sadberry family were intermediaries connecting major famous wineries. Renowned châteaux like Cheval Blanc, Mouton Rothschild, Margaux, and Lafite all had partnerships with them.He also owned several wineries himself. Though his wines weren't quite at the level of the major châteaux, they were still famous.The Sadberry family wasn't from East Coast - they'd chosen it for the wine tasting because of its prosperity.Not only wine merchants like Mr. Sadberry had come

    Scarlett dangled the taco in front of him. "I have another one. Want it? But you have to let us drink your wine!""How can you do this? Even if I'm not giving you any now, I already gave you two glasses earlier! Two whole glasses, do you know how much that's worth? Do you? I'm an elderly person, an elderly..."Scarlett pulled another package from her other pocket, unwrapping it layer by layer. "Sasa, forget the wine, let's eat..."...Five minutes later, Mr. Sadberry watched with heartache as Scarlett and Sarah poured his treasured wine, finding only slight consolation in the aroma in his hand."That Steven is too much - damn St. Ritz doesn't even have TACOS!” He muttered, then suddenly looked at Scarlett. "Tell me! Why did he make tacos for you?"Scarlett said, "I pestered him for ages before he made them. They were actually for Sasa. If it weren't for the wine, I wouldn't share with you.""Get this straight - I'm Mr. Sadberry, and you're looking at me with disdain!" Mr. Sadber

    Vivian's heart raced with suppressed anger, but she forced herself to stay calm given the setting.She glanced at Zachary beside her, remembering his conversation with grandpa at home. This man would soon be hers anyway - let that witch enjoy her freedom while she could!Soon, the assistant brought the contract, and the signing was completed within ten minutes. Mason showed no surprise as he shook hands with Melvin.Though the Sanders family's situation was resolved, the wine tasting wasn't over.Sarah didn't recognize many of the technical terms the sommeliers used after tasting various wines. As the Sanders’s daughter, she had encountered unknown wines before, and her father had taught her how to taste them.She remained in the corner, with Mr. Sadberry and Scarlett keeping her company. Ignoring the tacos in their hands, the scene was quite harmonious.Just as she was about to leave, Vivian stopped her."Miss Sanders, don't rush off. I have another wine I'd like you and Mr. Sa

    She racked her brain trying to figure out where she'd gone wrong to end up in this situation.Before she could think of a solution, the company faced a thorny problem. Her assistant contacted her immediately."Miss Wilson, our shipment at the dock has been detained. By the time I received the news, it had already been held for three days. If we delay any longer, we'll lose a major deal," her assistant said urgently.Vivian had received an excellent education and was being groomed as the Wilson Group's successor, so she naturally wouldn't lose her composure.She calmly asked, "Have you looked into why the shipment was detained?"The assistant hesitated, "I heard that your fiancé, Mr. Reynolds, personally reported that shipment.""That's impossible!" Vivian's voice rose in pitch, her face filled with disbelief."Did you investigate thoroughly? If this turns out to be false, I won't let you off easily and will sue you for defamation." Vivian couldn't keep her cool, speaking with a h

    In the office, Vivian looked with interest at the news on her phone about Harbour Crescent Island and Pine Mist Island. Everything was going exactly as she had expected.Except for one thing. When she first got the original project plan, she had been wondering about a small building near the main hotel. She couldn't figure out what it was for.Only after Pine Mist Island's promotional materials came out did she fully understand the purpose of that small building. In modern society, the exhausting work and complicated relationships of urban life caused people to develop various psychological issues. Many of these weren't even serious enough to be called disorders—they were just negative emotions bottled up inside that needed an outlet.In recent years, people had placed more emphasis on mental health education, with schools conducting various assessment activities.Many emotional release rooms had appeared in East Coast, but Sarah had only visited two or three, and their release meth

    Before Zachary could react, tears streamed down Mia's face. "Brother, tell me, is everything I read true? The Wilson factory explosion, the fake medicine, the murders to silence people! How did Mom really die?"For the first time, Zachary looked at Mia helplessly. Since she was very young, he had always protected her well, making her feel like she lived in a fairy tale. But even the most innocent person must eventually face harsh reality.This time, he sighed and said, "It's exactly as you saw."Mia couldn't believe it. Her eyes widened, her nose reddened, as she looked at him in confusion. "It was the Wilson family? Grandpa Wilson was involved?"After saying this, endless hatred erupted in Mia's eyes. Her crimson gaze seemed to drip blood. "I'll kill him!"She turned to leave, but Zachary immediately lunged forward and grabbed her. "Mia! You can't go!"Mia's strength reached its peak in that moment. She desperately tried to break free from Zachary's grip. "Let me go! Why are you

    Mia explained somewhat bashfully, "Sarah, ever since you and my brother broke up, I've never seen him smile again. Every night when I go downstairs for water, I see him standing on the balcony looking miserable. I always ask what's wrong, but he never tells me. Until one day when he came home drunk, muttering your name."She paused before continuing, "Sarah, I know you were disappointed when my brother got engaged to Vivian. I still don't know why that happened. From what I can tell, you're the only one he's ever loved. I know you're both hurting, so I came up with this idea to create a chance for you to be alone together. But I never thought things would turn out like this. I'm sorry, Sarah. This isn't my brother's fault—please don't blame him."Sarah thought for a moment before saying, "Mia, can you help me with something?"Mia nodded eagerly. "What do you want me to do, Sarah?"Sarah motioned her closer and whispered something in her ear. After listening, Mia nodded solemnly.In

    Seeing him helped Sarah gradually calm down. She looked around, trying to figure out where she was, but quickly remembered the photo in the study, accompanied by another headache."Zachary, what's the story with that photo in your study?" Sarah rubbed her head while staring intently at the man whose face briefly showed panic. She wouldn't give him any chance to back away."What are you talking about? What photo?" Zachary reached for a teacup. "Are you thirsty? You just woke up—have some water to soothe your throat."Sarah frowned, looking straight at Zachary. "I'm not thirsty. Don't change the subject! What's the deal with that photo?"Right—the photo.Just then, Mia timidly approached, wringing her hands nervously."Mia, how are you feeling?" Sarah asked with concern, shifting her attention.Mia said guiltily, "Sarah, I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have tricked you."When Sarah showed concern for her despite just waking up, Mia's guilt peaked. She hadn't expected Sa

    She stared hard at this single photo, trying to uncover something more, but the longer she looked, the more her head ached. The pain felt like something tearing apart inside her, making her want to punch the wall.Meanwhile, in Mia's room, Zachary held both of Mia's hands while his eyes anxiously watched the door. Half an hour had passed—why hadn't Sarah returned?Mia continued struggling, her eyes also darting toward the door, quickly lowering her gaze to hide her concern from him.Zachary took a deep breath, released his grip, and said flatly, “Cut the act.”Mia fell silent immediately. She wasn't sure how her brother had figured it out, but she could only close her mouth sheepishly. "Zach, I—""Say no more. I'm going to check on her." Zachary couldn't wait another moment. He stood up and left.Mia followed right behind him. "I'm coming with you."When Zachary pushed open the study door, he saw Sarah collapsed on the floor. He instantly panicked and ran to her. "Sasa! Sasa, are

    Zachary couldn't quite identify what he was feeling. He calmly signaled the housekeeper to fetch the reports.Sarah carefully opened the door and peeked at Mia hiding in the corner. She also took in the mess on the floor.It seemed Mia was experiencing severe emotional swings. Sarah couldn't use an aggressive treatment approach.Mia spotted Sarah.She blinked, then suddenly burst into tears and started reaching for more breakable items in the room.Sarah rushed in without concern for her own safety. First, she called out firmly, "Mia, stop!"Zachary followed her inside, instinctively positioning himself to Sarah's right, ready to protect her if anything unexpected happened.Seeing this, Mia secretly smiled to herself, more determined than ever to play matchmaker.In her excitement, she set her sights on a waist-high vase.Sarah's attention was completely focused on her. Following Mia's gaze, her heart skipped a beat. She immediately spoke to her with gentle authority, "Mia, no.

    Zachary was unhappy with her tone, as if his sister had some incurable disease.Due to his good upbringing and manners, Zachary didn't lose his temper. He simply asked the housekeeper to see the doctor out, his face showing clear displeasure.This was already the fourth psychologist today. All of them were professor-level professionals for whom writing books was a minor achievement.The nanny specifically assigned to care for Mia also had tears in her eyes as she stared at the closed door with endless worry. "Mr. Reynolds, Mia hasn't eaten a single bite since this morning. We can't go on like this."Zachary irritably pinched the bridge of his nose and coldly ordered, "Aren't there still some candidates on our list? Send people to bring all of them here."The nanny bit her lip and gathered her courage to suggest, "Mr. Reynolds, I don't think bringing more experts will help. Why not ask Miss Sanders to try?"Zachary turned to look at her, his expressionless face making the nanny los

    Mrs. Chancer anxiously watched Charlotte lying unconscious on the bed, barely hearing anything the hospital director was saying.James had regained his composure after learning that Charlotte was currently stable. He politely responded to the director, "Thank you. Please don't let us keep you from your duties."After speaking, he glanced at the housekeeper.The housekeeper instinctively stepped forward and extended his right hand courteously. "Director, please, let me escort you back."Mrs. Chancer sat on the stool that James had pulled over, staring at Charlotte's pale face with lingering fear, unable to look away for a long time.It wasn't that she truly cared for Charlotte; she was simply afraid of losing her chance to hold her first grandchild.James placed his hand on her shoulder and gently urged, "Mom, you've had a shock. Charlotte is fine now. Why don't you go home and rest?"Mrs. Chancer was still somewhat angry with him. "I'm not leaving. What if you leave the moment I'
