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

Mr. Sadberry looked at Sarah with admiration. He knew she was right - something had felt off when he tasted the 'Shipwrecked.' Her explanation made perfect sense.It was indeed different from regular Veuve Clicquot, but that was understandable given how long it had been submerged in seawater, adding some unique flavors.Vivian hadn't expected this response and was momentarily at a loss.Mason smiled. "Miss Sanders is correct, though Miss Wilson is also right. Before sinking to the ocean floor it was Veuve Clicquot - that was just its name."Seeing Vivian's face alternating between pale and flushed, Scarlett smiled and pulled Sarah away from the area. She knew that whenever Sarah was around, Vivian would find ways to target her.Fortunately, until the party ended, Vivian stayed busy talking to Mr. Sadberry while Sarah calmly observed her every move.Many people attended such wine tastings, including various prominent families, but there were even more heavily made-up women trying

As soon as James returned home, he saw his mother beaming. "Mom, what is it?""Charlotte's pregnancy test results are back. I specially asked your Uncle John to help - he's watched you grow up. Thank goodness the pregnancy check was mandatory, otherwise we couldn't get in. Those police watch Charlotte like she's a thief - I can't even bring her some supplements,” his mother complained.James quickly prompted, "Mom, what about the test results?""Oh, I almost forgot the important part - it's a boy! The Chacner family will finally have an heir. I won't have to worry about you constantly anymore."Yet she seemed more worried now. "Where Charlotte's staying now is like a fortress. I can't even get in to take care of her!"James didn't want to hear more of his mother's fretting and went straight to his room.Charlotte shared this room with him, and now with her gone, it felt empty.These feelings had intensified after seeing Sarah at the wine tasting. He couldn't forget how she looke

If only he had understood these things sooner.If only back then he had answered: "What's wrong? Can't sleep? I can keep you company."Perhaps everything would have been different.But "if only" was both the most abundant and scarcest thing in the world.He had to admit, when Sarah was playing the role of dutiful trad wife at home, he never noticed her radiance.Only after she shed that identity did he gradually discover how exceptional and charismatic she truly was.He stared at their wedding photo on the nightstand, remembering Sarah carefully wiping each crystal photo album.His fingers trembled slightly. Perhaps he really was sick - seriously sick.At the Ocean Mall, Sarah was shopping with Scarlett. Since the wine tasting, Scarlett had convinced herself that her tacos had played a crucial role in Mr. Sadberry giving the business to the Sanders. She used this as an excuse to insist on buying Sarah dresses."See how generous I am! That was a deal worth hundreds of millions.

Sarah listlessly finished the photoshoot, feeling down the entire afternoon. On the way back, she barely spoke, though Scarlett seemed to be in a good mood. "You know," Scarlett said, breaking the silence, "I’m actually glad to see you like this. Sasa, when you're feeling sad, just let yourself be sad for a while. No one expects you to keep holding it in forever. If you're down, let yourself sink into it. And if you really need to, cry it out. You’ve been carrying too much for too long. Stop pretending to be strong—at least not in front of me or Melvin. Just be yourself." Sarah let out a bitter smile. Her entanglement with Zachary had always been a cycle—back and forth, between fleeting happiness and deep sorrow. She’d soften every time he came to her, only to feel crushed the moment she saw him standing beside Vivian. Scarlett checked the time. It was only nine in the evening. "Stop the car!" she suddenly told the driver. "Turn around—head to St. Ritz." Sarah l

Under the kaleidoscopic, flickering lights that cast a dim and hazy glow, restless souls surrendered themselves to the rhythm of the dance floor, swaying in wild abandon. The music was deafening, drowning out any chance of conversation. Sarah noticed two people near the booths practically screaming at each other just to be heard. In this space, men and women lost themselves, venting their frustrations and emotions in tangled movements. Here, they could strip away everything—doubts, pain, burdens—if only for a little while. Ever since Steven had warned Scarlett against stepping foot in a bar after their two encounters, she had promised to stay away. But for the sake of her best friend? She would make an exception. "Sasa, want to dance? I hear this place can numb you for a while. If you're feeling awful, why not let go for a bit?" Sarah found a seat at the bar, idly ordering a glass of champagne. She took a sip before setting it back down. After indulging in so many exq

Just as Zachary finished handling his affairs and was driving home, his phone rang—it was Vivian calling.His hand hovered over the answer button, but he hesitated to press it."Zachary, Vivian likes you. You should see that by now. The reason she returned this time was for you." That was the voice of Mr. Wilson, his face ever so hypocritical."Zac, what exactly is your relationship with Miss Sanders?" That was a gentle, composed face, yet deep in her eyes lurked a suppressed madness—cold and merciless.Behind him was his grandfather’s voice, offering words of measured caution. "The matter with the Wilsons is something you’ll have to decide for yourself. If Wilson approaches me, I won’t turn him away. But how you handle it is up to you.""Bro, you can’t give up on Sarah! Didn’t you say you’d bring her back to be my sister-in-law? Brother?"Enough!He forced all those voices out of his mind, leaving only the persistent ringing of his phone echoing in the empty car."Zachary, rem

Upon hearing this, Manager Sullivan's face changed, and he glanced at Charlie, standing among the crowd, with a severe look of malice. Charlie, for his part, was clueless about what was happening. He was sure he had sabotaged the machinery effectively, given his years of experience in the factory and his knowledge of the equipment.But why hadn't it worked this time?He looked towards the technician with a puzzled expression, but the technician's confident gaze only increased his panic.After the meeting, Manager Sullivan called Charlie into his office and immediately started berating him as soon as the door was shut. "What happened? Weren't you supposed to have completely destroyed the equipment? Why does the technician say it can still be fixed? What did you do?"Charlie was even more baffled. He reflected on how he had damaged the equipment, unable to figure out what went wrong. "Manager, I was sure I had completely wrecked it. I even checked again after damaging it to ensure it

Before Sarah could speak, Manager Sullivan blurted out, "Miss Sanders, if I catch whoever did this, they won't get away with it!"Mr. Lambert sarcastically interjected, "What if it's a case of the thief crying catch the thief?"Manager Sullivan became defensive, "Mr. Lambert, you should think before you speak! I'm the manager of this factory. Every day the factory is down, I'm the most anxious of all! Are you really accusing me now? Miss Sanders, if you're going to suspect me as well, you might as well have headquarters fire me."Sarah quickly tried to defuse the situation, "Manager Sullivan, what are you talking about? You're the manager of this factory; of course, I trust your commitment to it. It’s just that this situation is serious. The old equipment that was destroyed in the last batch was due for an upgrade anyway, so that wasn’t a loss. But this time, it’s different."She paused before continuing, "This equipment was ordered from Germany by our headquarters half a year ago.

Fresh from the gambling den, Charlie was ecstatic, clutching a bundle of cash and laughing wildly. "Zach, we won thirty thousand! Can you believe they just let us walk out?"He found it unbelievable, but Zach seemed unfazed. They hadn't just taken the house; they'd also won a considerable amount from other gamblers, and even helped the house make a profit. It was no wonder they weren't stopped.Holding the money, Charlie mused, "Zach, you wouldn’t believe it. The rich just keep getting richer. Today, our factory received a shipment of equipment, and I heard just one machine costs millions. Compared to them, this thirty thousand really isn't much."Zach casually mentioned, "It seems like the Sanders factory is the only big one left around here."Charlie quickly retorted with a smirk, "Actually, in West Ridge, Sanders isn’t the biggest."Zach raised an eyebrow, "Really? I thought I knew West Ridge pretty well. Apart from Sanders, I haven’t seen any factory bigger than theirs."Char

Charlie finally got it—Manager Sullivan was forcing him to take on this task. He gritted his teeth and determinedly agreed, "Manager, I'll do it."Manager Sullivan smiled approvingly, "That's the spirit! Good employees like you are what this factory needs. Don't worry, the higher-ups won't let your efforts go unrewarded. If you pull this off, you could be looking at a bonus of several thousand."Charlie nodded, "Tonight, then?"Manager Sullivan's expression grew serious as he nodded back, "Yes, tonight."That afternoon, Charlie clocked out and went straight to find Zachary. He couldn’t go back to the old gambling den—they had made a mess last time and were probably blacklisted. As for the money he owed, Charlie didn’t care anymore. After all, they had won a lot last time only to have it stolen, which he figured squared things. Still, that didn't stop him from wanting to gamble again.Just a few days later, he found Zachary and even brought what he considered a fine cigar.As for

Outside the Sanders factory, several trucks were parked at the entrance. Sarah followed Manager Sullivan and Mr. Lambert, watching the unloading process. "Manager Sullivan, all this new equipment has arrived today, right from the headquarters' stock, and it's too late to ship from Germany now," Sarah observed, her voice serious.Mr. Lambert smiled, "I didn't expect you to handle this so quickly, Miss Sanders. It's only been a few days since you went to headquarters to file a complaint, and you've already got the equipment here.""It's all for the good of the factory," Sarah replied, her face still stern. "So, Manager Sullivan, the factory can operate normally now, right? Getting the production line back up is inevitable."Manager Sullivan's expression wasn't much happier; he hadn't expected Sarah to pull this off so quickly. He forced a smile, "Of course."As the equipment was moved into the factory, Manager Sullivan returned to his office, wiping sweat from his brow with his handk

Sarah was puzzled. "An explosion at such a critical moment would make anyone suspicious, wouldn't it? It looks like someone's trying to cover something up."Zachary nodded, his face showing disdain. "You're not the only one who thought so. But Old Mr. Wilson presented the last batch of drugs from their factory, which were supposed to be delivered to hospitals. The tests came back clean, and they claimed the explosion was due to a mishandling of ingredients."Sarah raised an eyebrow. "And everyone just bought that?""Yes, everyone did.""So, you want to prove the explosion wasn't an accident and use that to bring down the Wilson family?" Sarah asked softly.Zachary's face paled; he shook his head slightly. "It's not just that. I want to do more, but..."Sarah shrugged, as if she was used to this kind of talk. "Let me guess, the timing isn't right yet?"Zachary looked at her sincerely. "Sarah, I'm really glad you came to help me with my wounds. When the time is right, I'll come to
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 641
Sarah didn't respond to Zachary's earlier words—she simply moved with even more care as she cleaned and bandaged his wound. Her eyes stayed fixed on the task at hand, but her expression was unreadable.Zachary, watching her in silence, gave a soft laugh. "You do care about me, Sasa. No matter what you say, you're not as heartless as you pretend to be."Sarah shook her head, her voice calm but cool. "You're overthinking it. We're both from East Coast—I just don't want to see you die. Besides, you're getting engaged to Miss Wilson in just over half a month. I’m clear of our positions. So please, don't say things like that again."Zachary's face changed instantly. He knew she was right—his engagement to Vivian was a chasm between them, one that he couldn't just leap across. Not while the truth remained buried.That engagement wasn't just a label. It was a shield. A smokescreen. A compromise he'd made to protect Sarah. But knowing she believed it, that it stood between them, only deepe

Charlie felt a chill run down his spine from that single glance. Considering her status, he dared not push any further. "That's all I have to say. The rest is up to you to figure out."He fled the scene, leaving Sarah alone in the room.After washing up, she lay on the bed and checked her emails. Her cousin had sent her updates on the construction progress at Pine Mist Island.Once she finished handling her affairs, Sarah tucked herself under the covers and closed her eyes, trying to sleep, but rest eluded her.Her mind was filled with what Charlie had said about Zachary being injured. He was hurt, and she had no idea how serious the wound was.If it was severe, he would need hospital treatment, which would certainly leave a record and expose his location.If he didn't want his whereabouts known, he would have to treat the injury himself at home.But that wound...Sarah couldn't calm her thoughts. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.Under the bright moonlight, a figu

After the doctor left, Charlie yanked out his IV and clambered off the bed, urging Zachary, "Let's get out of here. This place just drains you dry."Zachary, indifferent since his injuries were feigned, asked, "Your injuries alright?"Charlie, ever so casual about his resilience, boasted, "Ah, I've been roughed up worse before. Just give me a couple of days to rest at home, and I'll be as good as new."With unresolved matters and a longing to see Sarah, Zachary reluctantly set aside his desires. "Then you head back. Call me if you need anything."Charlie, sensing something off, gently tugged at Zachary's suit and noticed his white shirt stained with fresh blood. "Zach, you're hurt!"Zachary's lips were pale, his voice dry. "Yeah.""I'll get the doctor to bandage you up," Charlie said, moving to leave."No need," Zachary stopped him quickly, not wanting to expose his whereabouts by registering at the hospital."What about your wound?""I have a first aid kit at home.
