Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 604
In early October, West Ridge had been experiencing harsh weather, though the locals were accustomed to it.A black sedan stopped at the village entrance where a middle-aged man with pleasant features was waiting.A stylishly dressed woman stepped out carrying her suitcase. After exchanging a few words with her driver, the car drove away.The man took her suitcase. "Miss Sanders? I'm your cousin's friend. You can call me Mr. Lambert.”"Thank you, Mr. Lambert.”He led her to a house. "You'll stay here for now. The villagers don't have many modern amenities or reliable internet. It's quite basic.""Thank you, Mr. Lambert.”Inside the courtyard, Sarah saw a man, a woman, and an elderly couple staring at her."This is our visitor from the city," Mr. Lambert explained to the Wesler family. "She'll be staying in your guest quarters for a few days."The Wesler family nodded as if used to such arrangements. The elderly couple silently went to prepare food.After putting her suitcase i

As they walked, Mr. Lambert briefed her about the factory. "Miss Sanders, the place has changed considerably over the years. Headquarters sent inspectors a few years ago, but no one has visited in the last three years. They haven't forgotten about us, have they?"Sarah smiled reassuringly. "Don't worry, Mr. Lambert. Sanders Group would never abandon any employee or facility. I'm here specifically to resolve these issues."Mr. Lambert nodded, though Sarah noticed his expression growing increasingly troubled as they approached the factory. Just before entering, he warned her, "The situation inside isn't good. I've worked here for decades and have some authority, but lately there've been all sorts of problems. Some workers are on strike, and even the manager is at his wit's end."Once inside, Sarah finally understood what Mr. Lambert meant.The factory manager greeted them with a group of workers holding protest signs. "You must be from headquarters. I hear you're Mr. Sanders' sister.

Sarah stared at him coldly. "Get out!""Don't be ungrateful. Look at your situation," Charlie said with annoyance.Sarah took out her phone from her purse. "Before coming to West Ridge, I made an arrangement with my cousin. If I don't call him by nine o'clock, he'll immediately alert the police and bring people here. It's almost time - are you sure you want to stay?"Charlie glared at her angrily. "Fine! But remember, this is my house!" After he left, Sarah collapsed on the bed with relief.The next day after work, Sarah discovered how Charlie planned to retaliate. When she returned to the Wesler house, she found all her belongings moved to another room - a dilapidated one that looked uninhabited for decades.The entire Wesler family had silently approved of Charlie's actions.The old room had weathered badly over the years. Deep cracks ran through the walls, with loose soil occasionally falling from them.This cramped, rundown space was clearly Charlie's doing.The room was

Sarah carefully closed the window, making sure to secure the latch. Her expression grew serious – there would be no escaping this storm.The rain finally began to fall. The yellowed light bulb in the room provided her with a small sense of warmth and security.The patter of rain drummed steadily against the roof, striking the tiles heavily. Silence enveloped everything except for the dancing raindrops.Though Sarah's room was dilapidated, at least it had tile roofing. In West Ridge, while most homes used tile roofs, some poorer residents had earthen shelters – structures made of packed soil and straw that would likely dissolve into mud after a heavy rain.Lightning flashed and thunder rolled as the downpour intensified. Water collected along the eaves, forming thick droplets that fell continuously.Brilliant flashes illuminated the entire landscape as the rain grew heavier.BOOM!A massive thunderclap made Sarah's heart jump. Despite being prepared, fear still gripped her.The

From the moment Sarah woke, she knew something was wrong. Her head throbbed with splitting pain.She felt her forehead - no fever, but she'd clearly caught a chill from the previous night.Struggling to sit up, she took some clothes from her suitcase. Thanks to the protection of the case, most weren't damp, though the outermost garments smelled of mildew.Sarah found several thick pieces and layered them on herself, finally feeling a bit better."Achoo!" She couldn't help sneezing.Both nostrils felt congested - classic cold symptoms.Her previous cold from being kidnapped and caught in the rain hadn't fully healed, and now seemed to be worsening.Her legs felt weak and unsteady, as if walking through an ice cellar. Not only her legs, but her abdomen had begun to ache too. Despite wearing many layers, none were truly warm.The icy cold seeped through her feet into her body. Sarah felt as if her legs had plunged into endless ice.The waves of pain from her abdomen told her this

"Worthless deadbeat, you dare gamble without money?""Pay back the tens of thousands you owe us, or we'll take your life!"Despite being beaten bloody, the man lying on the ground still begged pitifully, "Please stop! Lend me just a thousand more! Just one thousand! I'll win it all back, I promise, and pay you immediately!"The suited man looked away and approached the table, the thick smoke making him uncomfortable.The manager smirked and made several hand signals behind his back. His men immediately understood and moved closer.They exchanged glances. They had expected to fleece him badly, but to their surprise, he'd won fifteen consecutive rounds, totaling fifty thousand!The man, seemingly satisfied with his winnings, prepared to leave.The manager wasn't about to let him walk away so easily. He approached. "Leaving after winning so much? That's rather impolite, isn't it?""What do you want?" the man asked expressionlessly.The manager raised an eyebrow. "Play a few more

Melvin finally calmed down. "How's the situation now?" he asked gravely.Sarah's tone grew serious too. “The factory situation is complicated. Even Manager Sullivan…”She paused, then asked, “Melvin, is Mr. Lambert trustworthy?”Melvin thought for a moment. "In the current factory situation, even I don't know who's trustworthy anymore. Mr. Lambert has been with your father for twenty years. Since your father's passing, he's maintained contact with Sanders Group, though not as closely as before.""What about Manager Sullivan?”“He’s…”Sarah glanced toward the doorway and froze. A man in a suit was helping a bloodied man walk by.She couldn't mistake that face. Why was Zachary here? And who was the injured man he was supporting?"Sasa? Hello, are you listening?" Melvin's concerned voice came through the phone.Sarah snapped back to reality. “Melvin, something's come up. I'll call you back."She pulled out her IV, put on her shoes, and quietly followed the two figures.In the p

Though angry when they met at West Ridge, Charlie was still thinking about Zachary's money. He wanted to take the medicine and catch up, but the pharmacist haven’t called out his name yet.In the hospital corridor, Sarah hurried away, desperate to avoid Zachary.But why was Zachary with Charlie? That guy was always hanging out in gambling dens.Why was Zachary even in West Ridge? When Charlie had called her name earlier, Sarah had jumped. There were no footsteps behind her now, so she leaned against the wall, catching her breath. She held her chest, her heart pounding."What's wrong?" Zachary asked.Sarah's pupils dilated in shock. He had caught up to her. She couldn’t look at him. "I’m fine," she said softly."Sasa, you’re pale. You should lie back down on your bed," he insisted.Sarah took a few steps to the side. "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Reynolds. I’ll head back now.""Sasa, I…" His words trailed off, but Sarah was already walking away.After her fever broke and

"I have no choice. Why are you two acting so high and mighty? Before things went wrong, you were all making money hand over fist. Now you're pointing fingers. Every factory in Westridge operates this way. If the authorities hadn't started investigating, would anyone want to stop?" The supervisor's voice was sharp with frustration.The senior pharmacist replied coolly, "We can stop now. The final batch has already been sold. We won't lose much on the remaining stock. Even if they investigate, they won't find anything."The supervisor's voice quivered. "That's nonsense. If only it were that simple. That woman from the Reynolds family is relentless. Have you forgotten how many investigators she's sent here? But soon, she'll be out of our way.""Enough about that. The factory cannot close! I absolutely refuse to agree!"Hearing footsteps approaching, Charlie bolted. When he reached the director's office, he found it empty.Back at his workstation, something felt wrong. Glancing outsid

Zachary had reviewed the official investigation report from that year.The report stated that explosive materials were found in the materials room on the third floor, brought in accidentally by a supervisor. Large amounts of helium were also discovered in that room, several times more than in other areas.Yet Charlie hadn't mentioned the third floor at all. Instead, he had brought Zachary to the second floor. Either this was the true explosion site, or Charlie was deliberately hiding something.This room had significantly more burn damage than other areas. The workshop was almost completely destroyed, with debris and remnants everywhere. It was impossible to tell what had once been here—just an empty workspace surrounded by areas that still smelled of burning.Zachary's flashlight illuminated the entire room. Charlie had already tried to turn on the power, but without success."The factory's wiring has really deteriorated. Nothing works," Charlie complained.Zachary shook his hea

This factory, sealed for nearly ten years, finally revealed its former glory to the people of the East Coast. Charlie confidently led Zachary through the valley. When they reached the innermost part of the mountain range, Zachary followed Charlie's lead and stopped.Weeds had completely covered the area. Charlie efficiently tore away the ivy that had grown over everything, revealing a rust-covered iron door.Time had left its mark on the iron door; the rust flaked off at the slightest touch. In the middle was a chain with a padlock. Charlie casually picked up a stone and smashed it hard against the lock. With a dull thud, the lock fell to the ground.The factory from ten years ago differed greatly from modern ones. It lacked sophisticated security measures, since all the equipment inside was too heavy to steal anyway.They stood before the massive iron door. Zachary reached out to touch the cold metal. "How do you know about this place?"Charlie looked solemnly at the valley befor

When Charlie heard the words "Wilson Factory explosion," he froze, his face showing a complex mix of emotions."Who are you?" he asked warily.Zachary displayed a hunger for money. "Don't be nervous. I'm just a private investigator. By coincidence, I got this big job—find the truth and get paid.""Who's the client?" Charlie's face was full of suspicion.Zachary suddenly gave him a cold look, his tone full of warning. "Charlie, in this business, many things are confidential when it comes to clients. We take the money and do the job, never asking too many questions."Seeing how serious Zachary was, Charlie began to accept that he might really be a private detective."Charlie, this is a genuine two million. Aren't you tempted? If I didn't think you knew a lot about what happened back then, I wouldn't even consider sharing this with you. If we succeed, that's two million—one million each."Charlie's heart trembled at these words. One million! How could he not be tempted?With that

"I-I'm telling you, this is in the town, not up in the remote hills. If you try to beat me up, bystanders definitely won't just stand by and watch," he stammered, trying to intimidate Zachary while his hand secretly reached for the door bolt."Relax. I didn't come to beat you today. I'm just curious—why are you so fixated on her?" Zachary asked calmly, fishing for information.He had already made up his mind before coming. If Charlie truly had a grievance with Sarah, he would find a way to send her away. Even if she ended up hating him, that would be better than leaving her in danger.When Charlie heard that Zachary wasn't there to beat him, he immediately relaxed, though his body language remained wary as he kept his eyes fixed on Zachary.Zachary had already figured out Charlie's personality. He knew that unless he revealed some information first, Charlie would never willingly explain his motives for kidnapping Sarah."Sarah is my ex-girlfriend. Our breakup wasn't what I wanted,

The room wasn't very large. Though Zachary had chosen a relatively nice place, the countryside had limited options—it wasn't possible to conjure up a luxury apartment out of thin air.The couch in the living area wasn't even half the length of Zachary's height.If he had to curl up in such a small space to sleep, it would obviously be uncomfortable.Although Sarah didn't want to be indebted to him, she couldn't find the right words at this moment.She could hardly say, "The bed is big enough, we can share it."In the end, she just responded with a simple "Oh" and said nothing more.In the middle of the night, Sarah suddenly felt a chill creeping into her body.When she awoke, she realized she had kicked off her comforter.At that moment, she heard deliberately softened footsteps coming from the other room.Was Zachary still awake?Was he unable to sleep, or was the couch too uncomfortable?Sarah moved her ankle slightly and found it wasn't as painful anymore. Just as she was

"I'll see what food we have in the kitchen. You stay here and don't move around," Zachary said gently. He raised his hand to ruffle Sarah's hair, but she ducked away. He left with a disappointed look.Sarah watched his retreating figure and muttered under her breath, "Is he treating me like a child?"The countryside rooms had poor sound insulation, and soon she heard clattering noises from the kitchen.Curious about what Zachary was doing, Sarah pressed her lips together and carefully eased herself off the bed, supporting herself against the wall.Just as she was about to hop a few steps, she lost her balance on one foot. Sarah let out a sharp cry as she tumbled to the floor.The pain from her ankle made her face turn pale, and her slender body curled up into a small ball.Hearing the commotion, Zachary rushed over. Seeing the scene before him, his pupils contracted in alarm. He hurried to her side and carefully lifted her back onto the bed.The doctors in West Ridge didn't make

Sarah was stunned into silence by his certainty.When she finally recovered, her words carried hints of embarrassed anger. "Don't flatter yourself. I—Ahh!"Her sentence transformed into a long, sharp cry before she could finish.Zachary held her ankle firmly with one hand while quickly and efficiently spreading the medicinal oil over her foot with the other.Sarah's pain receptors fired, bringing tears streaming down her face. In retaliation, she grabbed Zachary's free arm and bit down hard.A vein throbbed visibly at Zachary's temple.She really wasn't holding back.Zachary had no doubt that his hand was bleeding from her bite.By the time they finished this time-consuming, energy-draining, and the whole "procedure," both Sarah and Zachary had thin layers of sweat on their foreheads.After applying the medicine, Zachary stood up and stumbled slightly.His leg had gone numb from maintaining the same position for too long.Sarah opened her mouth and then closed it, swallowing

As Zachary approached slowly, Sarah wanted to escape, but unfortunately, she had the will but not the ability.The hillside was damp, making the dirt path slippery.She had no strength to resist as he lifted her up in his arms. "Put me down, Zachary! Let me go!""You can't walk," he replied, carrying her with steady steps."Even if I can't walk, I don't need your help! Don't forget, you have a fiancée now!"Zachary's eyes darkened. She really knew how to bring up the most uncomfortable topics.The man had just been in a fight, and his clothes were somewhat disheveled, which only added to his wild nature. His entire presence radiated a dangerous charm.Sarah couldn't help stealing several glances at him. Though she kept telling herself not to fall for him, her heartbeat still involuntarily lost its rhythm.Back at the dormitory, Zachary carefully placed her on the bed and arranged the blankets for her.Sarah frowned, staring at him as she voiced her suspicion. "I never told you
