Chapter 65

Penulis: Summer Knowles
"Oh my!" Mia exclaimed. "How clumsy of you, Charlotte. You should have moved when I offered you a drink. Now everyone will think I did it on purpose!"

"It's fine, Miss Reynolds. My fault entirely." Charlotte's face was strained.

A crowd had gathered, just as they had when Mia's dress was ruined earlier.

Mia feigned sympathy. "How unlucky - the same thing happened to my dress earlier! Fortunately, I have several spare dresses upstairs. Let me lend you one?"

Before Charlotte could answer, Lucy jumped in. "Yes, that would be wonderful! Thank you."

She hoped this might help them get closer to Zachary.

Charlotte, unaware of Lucy's motives, had no choice - her stained dress was unwearable. She nodded politely. "Thank you, Miss Reynolds."

Upstairs, Mia laid out several gowns on the bed. "Take your pick."

Charlotte’s eyes flickered with envy. She recognized many of these gowns as exclusive haute couture pieces from brands that weren’t available to just anyone. Even having money wasn’t

  • Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect   Chapter 1045

    Steven snapped back to the present, his thoughts still lingering on the past. He looked over at Zachary, a trace of sorrow still clouding his expression.“Zachary… about Miss Sanders…” he hesitated, unsure if bringing her up would only make things worse.Zachary let out a quiet sigh. “She’s still with Leon.”“I could take some people and break her out,” Steven offered seriously. He meant it—he truly wanted to help Zachary put an end to this.But Zachary shook his head. “After what happened, Leon’s bound to tighten security. Getting her out won’t be that simple. And we can’t afford to trigger an international incident. That’s what Melvin and I have been worrying about from the start.”Steven nodded slowly. “Zachary, I think you’re overthinking it. You’re worried about too much… It’s starting to feel—”He didn’t finish the sentence. But Zachary understood.Steven knew exactly why Zachary was so cautious. It was because the person involved was Scarlett. If it had been someone else—

    “She brought that woman here herself,” Sarah said flatly. “Vivian knocked me out and dragged me away—then left her behind. That woman looks exactly like me.”Just remembering it made Leon feel sick.He recalled the things he’d said that night. All those promises. The vows. The ring—custom-made, something he’d carefully chosen after days of deliberation.Even worse was how eager the woman had been. She’d leaned into his touch, acted like she was finally letting her guard down. He thought Sarah had finally begun to accept him.Turns out it had all been a lie. One big, disgusting setup—crafted entirely by Vivian.“I’m sorry,” Leon muttered. “I didn’t handle things properly. I should’ve caught it sooner.”He was never one to apologize, much less admit fault. But now, faced with Sarah’s cold stare, even his pride cracked a little.She didn’t seem surprised.Someone like him—ruthless, calculating—would do anything to get what he wanted. What was an apology compared to that?“Are you

    Sarah sat on the sofa, gripping the mug in her hands. The heat was turned up high in the villa, but she still couldn’t shake the cold.After spending the past two days locked in that drafty, abandoned apartment building, the chill had sunk deep into her bones. It was as if Vivian had an obsession with making her feel cold—utterly, inescapably cold.Whether it was the kidnapping in the pouring rain months ago, or this recent winter night in that crumbling building, Sarah never wanted to feel that kind of bone-deep cold again.Leon knew she was still angry. After everything that had happened, it would be impossible for her to simply let it go. He also understood what she wanted from him—but when it came to actually dealing with Vivian, he found himself hesitating.Wilson Corp’s influence in South City wasn’t something he could ignore. If he could take control of it, he’d have the power to plant his roots here for good.But he was beginning to wonder… had he overestimated Vivian?

    A flicker of fear crossed Vivian’s face. “What are you trying to do?”Leon leaned in slightly, his voice low and taunting. “After everything you’ve done to piss me off, I’ve been wondering… how should I punish you?”“Punish?” Her heart sank. “What do you mean?”He narrowed his eyes, amusement dancing coldly in them. “Why don’t you slap yourself a few times? Maybe once I’ve calmed down, I’ll go easier on Wilson Corp too.”Vivian stared at him in disbelief. He wanted her to slap herself?This was pure humiliation. And coming from him, it was deliberate.“You can’t be serious. Just because of Sarah?” she asked, voice shaking. “We were classmates, Leon. We studied abroad together. You know how complicated things were back then between us.”Leon gave a short laugh. “You’ve pulled this kind of stunt more than once. I let it slide last time, but what made you think I’d keep forgiving you?”He stepped closer. The glint in his eyes turned dangerous.Vivian flinched. She knew exactly wh

    As Steven started the engine, he suddenly heard a muffled groan through the phone. He immediately turned off the car.In the suffocating darkness of fear, a face loomed toward Scarlett, growing larger and larger. She screamed and whipped around—only to come face to face with another face.She ran with everything she had, only to find herself trapped in a dead-end alley. Before she could think about how to escape, the scene shifted again.Now she was in a dimly lit private room. A naked woman was surrounded by a group of men. The woman was crying, begging for help.Scarlett rushed forward—only to slam into a glass wall that separated her from the horror.She banged on it with all her strength, her fists aching, her vision spinning. Through the shifting shadows of the men, she caught a glimpse of the woman’s face on the floor.It was her own.“Help me!” Her scream pierced the silence and jolted her awake.Her forehead was drenched in sweat. She hadn’t even had time to process wha

    She paced back and forth in her room, completely unable to focus on anything else. Most of the time, she just sat at the edge of the bed, anxiously picking at her fingers.She’d already torn the skin. Blood welled up at her fingertips, but it was like she couldn’t even feel the pain.This was her first night without Steven.And it was unbearable.No matter how many times she rolled over, she couldn’t sleep. Every time she shut her eyes, all she could see were flashes of terror. The eyes that once surrounded her seemed to creep back into her mind.The cruel voices she hadn’t heard in so long—she could almost hear them again.She curled into the blanket, wrapping it tightly around herself, trying to find even the smallest sense of safety.Her body started to tremble. Any second now, she felt like she was going to scream.Then suddenly, her phone lit up.The soft ring tone broke through the darkness like a lifeline.It was the custom ringtone she’d set for Steven.She picked up
