Chapter 556

Author: Summer Knowles
He left the meeting room without another word.

But he knew those people wouldn't give up just because they'd failed this time.

Melvin hadn't been home for the past two days, which made Sydney incredibly anxious. She'd come here to get close to Melvin, but now she couldn't even see him.

Plus, the job Melvin had arranged for her wasn't at headquarters but at a branch office, so she had no chance of running into him.

When Mia and Sarah got home from school, they caught Sydney staring at them.

"What are you looking at?" Mia said with disgust.

"Melvin's so good to you. That necklace he just got at the auction - he had it delivered to you right away," Sydney's voice dripped with jealousy.

Sarah caught her meaning and picked up the necklace from the table. "Yes, it is quite beautiful."

Sydney barely contained her envy, her words dripping with sarcasm. "Who knows what shady tactics you used to get Melvin to treat you so well. People might think you're a couple!"

    "These files need to be archived. Some of the classic cases I found are from overseas.""Alright." Professor Letito rubbed his temples and stood up to collect the files from his desk.He was always such an honest, serious person that Sarah couldn't help asking again, "Professor, is something wrong?""Really, I'm fine."Sarah left the office with doubts, having other matters to attend to.After classes ended, a crowd had gathered at the school entrance. When Sarah and Mia went to look, they saw Professor Letito was one of two people at the center.Opposite him stood a woman holding a child.Professor Letito's face was ashen with anger, while the woman was crying out, "How did someone like you become a university professor? You don't even care about your own child! Tell me who this mistress is that you're having an affair with!"As Sarah watched in confusion, a hand touched her shoulder. She turned to find Professor Wells."Poor Henry’s gotten himself into quite a mess," Profess

    The man spoke softly, but his words were cruel. "It's fine if this attempt failed. We'll try something more drastic next time. If all else fails, we'll use the child."The woman didn't even get angry. "Aren't you worried about hurting your own child?""Once we get the money, we can leave. If we're seen, it's all over."Sarah watched them walk away, feeling furious on Professor Letito's behalf.She knew they wouldn't give up until they got what they wanted.Early the next morning, Sarah released the recording she'd made.Vivian was holding a press conference at Wilson Headquarter, with many media reporters present, drawn by the Wilson name.Vivian sat at the head of the table, speaking confidently. "The inspiration came from overseas resort islands. I incorporated some interesting concepts..."A reporter stood up. "Miss Wilson, there are rumors that Wilson Industries stole Sanders Group’s designs. How do you respond?""That's false. Wise people don't believe rumors. Wilson Indu

    At six in the evening, Sydney was heading to her car in the parking lot when she spotted a familiar Ferrari. Before she could place whose it was, the door opened.A woman stepped out, her face cold and emotionless, her eyes staring at Sydney as if she were looking at a corpse.After a long moment, Sydney finally came to her senses and asked uneasily, "Miss Wilson, what brings you here?""What? Am I not allowed to see you?" Vivian looked at her with contempt.She suddenly moved closer to Sydney and said coldly, "Tell me, what's the deal with that recording?"Recording?Sydney hadn't processed what she meant. She'd been busy with work all day and hadn't seen any news.She had no idea what had happened at Wilson Industries, let alone about any recording. Vivian's eyes held pure malice as she took out her phone and played the recording.Hearing the familiar voice, Sydney's eyes widened. That voice... it was hers.She stared at Vivian in shock. "This... this recording...""Did you

    Vivian gave her a cruel smile. "How naive of you to believe everything I said."Sydney was terrified. She'd seen Vivian's ruthless methods before and knew the consequences of crossing her.Avoiding Vivian's gaze, she stammered, "You can't do this. I don't have money. How am I supposed to get that much?"Vivian said casually, "The Blancos can't be that broke. Your family can pay your debt - unless they refuse to help. Then you'll have to take the fall alone.""Vivian, aren't you afraid I'll...""You'll what? Who are you going to tell? What are you going to do?"Vivian said quietly, "Shut up. I'm warning you - if you don't have the money in five days, you'll see what happens. Or... there's one small favor. If you help me with it, I might forget about all this."Sydney grabbed at this lifeline. "What favor?"A glint flashed in Vivian's eyes. "It's simple..."...At Adams University, Sarah thought it was over, but one incident pushed everything to a climax.The whole school was

    Sarah's gaze turned cold as she looked at Amy. Despite her hateful expression, Sarah caught a glimpse of sly satisfaction in her eyes - the smirk of someone who thought they'd won.The crowd began buzzing with gossip, from both teachers and students."I can't believe it. Professor Letito seemed so honest - how did he end up with Sarah?""I'm shocked someone as beautiful as Sarah would go for someone like Henry Letito. Though given how many men she's supposedly been with, maybe it's not so surprising.""Really? I always thought Miss Sarah seemed nice.""How naive. You never know what someone's really like. Anyone can act sweet and proper in public. Who knows what they're like behind closed doors."...Sarah couldn't help but glance at the people gossiping about her - some were friendly acquaintances, others she'd never even spoken to.Mia stood beside Sarah, glaring angrily at the judgmental stares. "What are you all looking at? Just look at Sarah and look at Professor Letito! H

    Sarah tried to move closer, but Amy stepped back. "Stay away! One more step and I'll jump!"Sarah stopped, speaking sharply. “Miss Gabble, you don't really want to die, do you? Otherwise you wouldn't be asking for money. I can give you the two hundred thousand - it's nothing to me. But I want to know who sent you. Who told you to frame me like this?""I don't know what you're talking about." Amy's eyes darted away.Something had felt off to Sarah from the start. When Amy was first arguing with Professor Letito, despite the crowd, she kept glancing at Sarah, as if confirming her target.Today's scene felt even more staged - so obviously planned that it barely needed analysis."I don't know anything. Don't push me." Her eyes were red as she started losing her balance.Suddenly, Henry, who was also at the edge, lunged at Amy and the child, tackling them to the ground.Security guards immediately grabbed both Henry and Amy, preventing another suicide attempt."Let go of me! Henry,

    Sarah was silent for a moment before finally agreeing. "Alright."After hanging up, Michael breathed a sigh of relief. At least she'd agreed to help.Back in his cell, his anxiety finally began to subside.At Adams University, just after resolving the chaos with Amy and Professor Letito, Sarah rubbed her temples. One problem after another."Hurry up! That's her! Stop dawdling and do it!""Quick, faster! She's about to walk past!"...Sarah walked normally beneath the residential building that housed school staff and a few students' parents.Something felt odd today. The street was unusually quiet when it shouldn't have been.Before she could process what was happening, danger struck from above. Ice-cold water poured onto her head, bringing both the pain of being struck and a bone-chilling cold.Before she could even react, she was soaked through. Her hair clung to her scalp, and her clothes were drenched from top to shoes.Sarah only heard giggling from above, but when she l

    Sarah firmly pushed Zachary away and spoke coldly, "No need, Mr. Reynolds. You should go back. I don't need your concern.""Sarah, it's cold. Please, just let me take you home?" Zachary's voice was urgent.But Sarah still refused, resisting his presence, not wanting him to come closer."Mr. Reynolds, I really don't need this. This kind of concern... things ended between us long ago. Please don't come near me and cause misunderstandings." Sarah lowered her eyes.She didn't want him to see the tears in her eyes, her nose red and stinging.Sarah stared at Zachary's feet, waiting until he turned to leave before slowly looking up. Watching his dejected figure walk away, for a moment she wanted to run after him.It hadn't been that long, but he looked much more haggard.Sarah turned to leave, but after a few seconds, she heard a heavy thud behind her. That dull sound gave her a bad feeling.Looking back, Zachary had collapsed. Her heart jumped, and she ran to him. "Zachary! Zachary!"

    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'
