Soon, some reporters turned their attention to Sarah.Just then, a luxury car pulled up at the school gates. A woman with big wavy hair and sunglasses stepped out.Sarah was startled. "Scarlett, why are you here?"Scarlett walked straight through the crowd to stand beside Sarah. She stared directly at Amy and sneered, "If I hadn't come, I would've missed seeing the most shameless woman in the world."Amy snapped as if triggered. "Who are you calling shameless? Sarah's the one who steals married men. She's the shameless homewrecker!""Twisting the truth - I'm impressed by your nerve. You have the gall to call yourself an honest, ordinary person? Do you fit that description at all? Oh wait, I suppose you are quite 'ordinary' looking - and not young either."Scarlett flipped her hair dramatically. The reporters chuckled at her comment, while Amy glared at the newcomer furiously. "Who are you? Why are you butting in? I get it - you're Sarah's friend. You must be just as bad as her."
Faced with this question, Amy hushed him. "Those kinds of powerful people aren't for us to speculate about. In this world, if you want to make money, do more and ask less."Seemingly worried she'd sounded too distant, she quickly added, "Never mind about what those big shots think - how would people like us know? Let's just do our job. Look, this is a hundred thousand! Do you know how much we can buy with this?"Dan ignored her question and pressed on, "But what's that lady's ultimate goal?"This time Amy didn't hold back. "I don't really know all the details. I just know she wants me to insist Sarah's a homewrecker, and she said she'd help with everything else."The video continued with Amy and Dan discussing other private matters, but nothing could match the impact of what had just been revealed.Scarlett turned off her phone screen. "Did everyone record that?"The reporters exchanged glances, looking at Amy with obvious contempt.Amy collapsed to the ground in disbelief. How
Sarah was still thinking about what Scarlett had said earlier. "What's this about Zachary?" she asked quietly.Scarlett looked uncomfortable. "Steven gave me the video and sent me to help you. I made up that part about Mr. Reynolds.”"Made it up? That was bold." Sarah drew in a sharp breath.Scarlett shrugged it off. "Why do you think Steven got this video? Zachary ordered it. Pretty expensive too - cost a million.”Sarah felt confused by all this, but any mention of Zachary made her reluctant to ask more."Sasa, you should have let me come earlier. A good slap is exactly what someone like her needs!" Scarlett fumed.Mia finally noticed something was wrong. "Sarah, what happened? Did that woman cause more trouble?"Scarlett jumped in eagerly. "Mia, you should have seen how cool I was! I gave her a solid slap..."She retold the story with extra flair, leaving Mia wide-eyed."What?! You had all this excitement without me?" Mia pouted."I didn't know Scarlett was coming." Sara
Amy never imagined her vision of love could shatter so violently. She wondered if the Dan she'd loved had never shown his true nature before, making this moment of brutal honesty almost impossible to bear."Dan, how can you say such things? I was with you even before I married Henry. After that incident... I barely recovered, and now you're saying you don't know whose child this is? Why else would I divorce Henry if not to be with you?" Amy's eyes filled with tears.Only those we love most know exactly where to stick the knife to cause the most pain. She couldn't accept Dan speaking to her this way.Dan continued packing, barely paying attention. "You divorced Henry because three years ago he...""Shut up!" Amy screamed. She couldn't believe Dan would be so callous about such a sensitive matter."Face it, Amy. You did all this to get revenge on Henry for what he did. I was just a tool." Dan sneered.Amy clutched her child, choking back tears. "Say what you want about me, but how
"Stay away from me. I never want to see your face again!"BANG!The door slammed shut, the sound echoing through Amy's broken heart.Just yesterday they'd been loving and everything had been perfect. How had it all fallen apart in a single night?Thirty minutes later, Dan emerged with his bags. He gave Amy and the child one cold glance before walking away."Dan! How can you be so cruel?" Amy sobbed.She watched him disappear into the distance, never once looking back, not even at his own child.Wiping her tears, she hugged her crying son. She had to stay strong for him.But where could they go now? The world suddenly felt very big and very empty.As they were about to leave, several middle-aged men appeared and escorted them away.Back at Adams University, the reporters had vanished as if the whole scandal had been just a bad dream. Sarah's reputation was restored, the forum threads were cleared, and Professor Letito was back teaching.Sarah walked into school with Mia, who
None of the watching students dared intervene. They just stood there, most filming with their phones.Professor Letito had been absent during the earlier incidents, but now he stood face to face with Amy.The scene was deeply ironic. Just days ago, Amy had been the aggressive one, playing the victim while painting Henry as the villain.Now the tables had turned, yet Henry looked at Amy with a mix of sympathy and guilt.Something about that look struck Sarah as odd. This situation seemed more complicated than it appeared.The woman's eyes were filled with despair and resignation, nothing like her previous aggressive behavior.Gone was her hunger for money - she seemed to have accepted her fate.Henry's mother continued, "Henry, she wronged you and the whole family. We won't let someone like her get away with this. Your father and I saw the interview - she took your house, our life savings were in there. We're getting everything back, plus compensation!"The woman remained silent
"Sign here."James Chancer’s cold, deep voice broke the silence as he slid the divorce papers across the table. Sarah looked up at him, managing a bitter smile.So this was it. No wonder he'd surprisingly called this morning to say he'd be home tonight, wanting to talk. She'd been happy all day, only to find out this was what he wanted to discuss... Three years of marriage, coming to an end.Sarah Sanders took the papers with trembling hands, her voice barely a whisper, "Do we really have to divorce?"James frowned as he studied the woman who'd been Mrs. Chancer for three years. She must have just finished cleaning - sweat still glistened on her forehead, exhaustion and confusion evident in her eyes behind those thick glasses. Gentle and modest, but utterly plain. This unremarkable woman had been Mrs. Chancer for three years.James put out his cigarette, his tone leaving no room for argument, "Just sign it. Charlotte's back, and I don't want her to get the wrong idea."Sarah felt
Sarah listened to the conversation outside the study, her eyes downcast.During her years as James’s wife, she had given everything to her mother-in-law and sister-in-law Lucy. When Lucy had her car accident, Sarah had stayed at the hospital for days. She'd always shown nothing but respect and care for Mrs. Chancer. Yet it seemed no amount of devotion could change how the Chancer family saw her.Shortly after, Scarlett Larson called, her voice tired, "Sasa, are you sure you won't come? You used to love hunting outdoors, and you'd get to race cars too."Sarah froze. Memories she'd buried deep came flooding back. Before marrying James, she'd loved hunting, racing cars, and good wine. Then she met James at the Larson estate and fell head over heels. After falling for him, she learned through others that James preferred gentle, trad wife. So she'd gradually given up everything she loved.Three years had passed, and she'd almost forgotten who she used to be.On the other end of the lin

"Never mind if they believe it or not. If we play our parts well, everyone will believe us. The world always sympathizes with the underdog and resents the wealthy. Once we do this, even without proof, her reputation will be ruined," Amy said coldly.The recording fell silent for a moment, with only the rustling of clothes. Some reporters instantly understood what was happening during that gap, though thankfully the recording had been edited to skip over it.Then the man spoke again. "Honey, what about Henry Letito?"Amy replied impatiently, "Who cares about him? He's just a pathetic coward. After I get the money, I'll squeeze more out of him, then leave East Coast for good..."Suddenly, a child's sharp cry came through, and the man blurted out, “My son..."As the recording played, Amy stood frozen in shock. When she heard the child's cry, she snapped back to reality. Before the man in the recording continued, she lunged at Sarah, trying to grab the phone.But Sarah easily stepped
People began digging up previous incidents, using them to paint Sarah as a villain.While Amy cried on the outside, she was laughing inside. She was close to success! Close to getting that five million.With that money, she and Dan could run away, buy a small house somewhere remote, start a small business, and live peacefully for the rest of their lives.The more she thought about it, the harder she forced herself to cry.Meanwhile in the counseling office, Sarah had to hold Mia back from rushing out."Mia, calm down." Sarah had placed psychological exercises in front of her, prepared earlier to help ease her anxiety.Of course Sarah knew what was happening at the school entrance. Scarlett had already called several times, wanting to rush over and slap Amy, but Sarah had talked her down each time.Under Sarah's guidance, Mia reluctantly focused on her exercises. Sarah stroked her head. "I'll handle this."Mia nodded, not mentioning that she'd already begged her brother to deal
At Troy's signal, his men immediately understood. They dragged Dan aside and gave him a brutal beating.After they left, Dan collapsed on the ground, gasping for air, his face and head bloody from the beating.The door was still open when a well-dressed man in a suit walked in, chuckling softly.Dan startled, thinking it was Troy. "Troy, please... Wait, who the hell are you? Get out!"The man smiled faintly. "After that beating, you still haven't learned? I'm here to offer you money. Interested?"Money?Dan sized up the visitor, his eyes fixed on the man's watch. He'd seen it on TV - worth millions, easily enough to clear his debt.His demeanor changed instantly, putting on a fawning smile. "Please, sit down, Sir!”Still covering his bleeding nose, he added, "Let me clean up first."The man found a relatively clean spot to sit, drumming his fingers on the table. "Do something for me. Payment is one million."Dan's eyes widened as he nodded frantically. "Anything, just name it
