Chapter 4

Penulis: Summer Knowles
Sarah stopped in her tracks. Her expression remained calm, but she didn't take Charlotte's offered hand.

As Charlotte's smile faltered, James stepped in to ease the tension, "Grandfather heard about us,” he said in a deep and restrained voice. “He wants you to join us for dinner tonight. Your phone was off, so I came to get you."

"I see." Sarah checked her phone - it was indeed dead. She nodded. "I'll charge it and join you later."

The message was clear- she wouldn't be going with them.

James frowned. "I can wait while you-"

"No need," Sarah cut him off with a smile. "I'll make my own way there."

When he fell silent, Sarah glanced at Charlotte. "And tomorrow at nine, if you're free, let's get the divorce papers finalized."

For some reason, James felt unsettled. "Why the rush?"

Sarah nodded firmly. “Cause it's urgent."

James was taken aback, his expression darkening as he led Charlotte away.

After a few steps, Charlotte whispered something intimately to James, then turned back to Sarah, her eyes gentle, "Miss Sanders, I owe you my thanks."

"For what?"

Charlotte glanced back at James waiting in the distance, tucking a loose strand of hair behind her ear. Her smile was sweet with nostalgia and gratitude. "When James and I separated years ago, it was just bad timing. When I returned, I thought we'd lost our chance. I know how much you loved him. If you hadn't been so understanding, we might never have gotten back together."

"You're wrong." Sarah met her eyes. "I'm not divorcing him to bring you two together. I'm not that selfless. I'm divorcing him because I don't want to love him - and I won't anymore.”

She'd spent three years trying to be the perfect Mrs. Chancer, and failed. In that time, she probably had better odds winning the lottery than making James love her. Why keep forcing it?

The moment she decided on divorce, she knew she had to let go. Yes, she'd done everything for James, only to have him bring another woman to her doorstep. But Sarah had no regrets.

Charlotte stood speechless.

Sarah considered for a moment, then added coldly, "Whatever happens between you two is none of my business anymore."

Dinner was set for eight-thirty. Sarah reached her apartment just after seven.

Maybe it was the relief of leaving the Chancers, but Sarah felt unusually light. After a shower, she put her phone on charge. There was still plenty of time.

For the first time in ages, she picked out a rose-red dress she loved, switched to contact lenses, and put on makeup.

She'd never done this at the Chancers'. When she first married James, she used to wear makeup, but his mother said it was too flashy for a proper wife. James never bothered to look at her anyway.

Now she could do as she pleased. After getting ready, she took a cab to the Chancer family estate.

"This way, Mrs. Chancer," the butler said, eyeing her transformation with surprise but maintaining his usual respect. That he was still using her married name told Sarah that Richard Chancer, James's grandfather, wasn't ready to accept the divorce.

She was right.

At the dinner table sat James and Charlotte, with Richard's face dark with disapproval, the atmosphere thick with tension.

Seeing her, his expression softened. “Sasa, come," Richard said warmly. "It's been too long since you've had dinner with me.”

James looked up instinctively, his gaze falling on Sarah. Something stirred in him.

Without her glasses, her almond-shaped eyes were striking, with their subtle upward tilt and gleaming with an inner light. Combined with her rose-red dress, she looked alluring and confident.

Nothing like the meek, compliant woman he thought he knew.

  • Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect   Chapter 1296

    Just then, a weak cough broke the tense silence.All eyes turned toward the sound. Henry frowned and looked up.The conference room doors swung open.The first to enter was Anthony, who stepped forward to hold the door. Right behind him, a woman wheeled a wheelchair into the room.The low, hoarse coughing came from the man seated in it.Anthony respectfully took hold of the wheelchair and pushed it straight toward the head of the table.Henry stared at the person in the chair, shock flooding his face. For a moment, he could not believe what he was seeing.Many of the directors did not want to believe it either.But the truth was right in front of them.Old Mr. Wilson was sitting in that wheelchair.He had woken up.Though his body was still visibly weak, the pressure of his presence alone was enough to make Henry instinctively stand up.“That’s impossible!”He had personally had someone check just yesterday. There had been no sign of consciousness at all.“I object,” Old

    Hearing this, Director Churchill’s brows knit tightly. His instincts told him nothing good was coming next.Sure enough, Henry laid out his decision without any courtesy. He called it a discussion, but it sounded more like a notice.“Everyone here knows the state the company is in,” Henry said coolly. “While it still has some value, why not cut our losses now?”The room fell silent.At that point, no one needed an explanation.Director Churchill looked the worst of all. He was a straight shooter, never one for subtlety or roundabout tactics.“Henry Wilson,” he snapped, “if you want to cut your losses, that’s your business. It has nothing to do with us.”Still not satisfied, he continued angrily, “Old Mr. Wilson treated us well back then. Now that he’s not here, you think you can do whatever you want? Have you completely lost your conscience?”Henry, accustomed to authority, was not about to tolerate that.The smile on his face vanished in an instant. His voice turned sharp.“

    “Churchill, have you forgotten?” the older man said calmly, still focused on the board. “Right now, Henry Wilson holds the largest block of shares. On major decisions, he has veto power.”That only made Director Churchill angrier. His thick brows shot up.“You know better than anyone. Those shares of his are a joke.”Francis ignored him. His eyes were fixed on a single point on the board. After a moment’s thought, he placed his piece down decisively and laughed out loud.“Checkmate. Ha. Churchill, I win.”“Ah!” Director Churchill exclaimed impatiently. “Francis, are you even listening to me?”Francis’s smile never faded. He picked up the prayer beads resting on the table and rolled them slowly between his fingers.“Churchill, you and I both know exactly what kind of man Henry is. He will stop at nothing to get what he wants.”He paused.“When dealing with someone like him, the worst thing you can do is confront him head-on.”Another director sighed heavily.“So what, we just let

    Lucas understood what mattered most. He nodded repeatedly.“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Mia.”Just as Sarah was about to leave, Lucas suddenly called out to her. He hesitated for a moment before speaking.“Miss Sanders, I saw the news too. I know Miss Larson is your friend, and Mia’s as well. I can help suppress the spread online. I hope you won’t think I’m overstepping.”Sarah looked at him with genuine gratitude.“Thank you. I really appreciate your help.”“I don’t want Mia to be hurt again,” Lucas said quietly, glancing toward her.Sarah said nothing more and hurried to the hospital Steven had mentioned.---Outside Emergency Room, the red light was still on.Sarah clasped her hands together and prayed, calling on every bit of hope she had left.Before long, the light went out.She rushed forward just as the emergency physician stepped out.“Don’t worry,” the doctor said. “The patient is out of danger. It was an acute stress response. He needs rest and careful mon

    Night fell quickly.Steven searched every place he could think of. There was still no sign of Scarlett.Exhausted, he collapsed beneath a tree in a quiet park.This was a place they used to walk together often.He buried his face in his arms. His shoulders trembled slightly. After running around all day, his body was completely drained. But the physical exhaustion was nothing compared to the terror of Scarlett’s disappearance.The double strain finally broke him.Tears slid silently down the face of a man who had always prided himself on being strong.He had expected something. A threat. A ransom demand. A warning.But there was nothing.Nothing at all.Until early the next morning.A single video detonated across the entire city.The footage showed a woman trapped inside a private room at a bar. Several men surrounded her. The camera slowly panned.Her face was unmistakable.When Mr. Larson saw the video, he nearly collapsed.“What… what is this?” he demanded coldly, tu

    He flicked the steering wheel lightly and laughed under his breath.“Is your guard really this low?”About thirty minutes later, Charlotte suddenly jolted awake. Her eyes flew open.“Stop the car.”The two words startled Nick. He instinctively hit the brakes, slowing the Rolls-Royce.As the car came to a halt, Charlotte shoved the door open and leaned out, retching violently.“Are you okay?” Nick asked, frowning in mild disgust. He was at least relieved she had not thrown up inside the car.After a moment, Charlotte finally steadied herself. Nick handed her a bottle of water.“Thanks.”Once she was back in the car, Nick drove her home. After watching her disappear into the building, he made a phone call.“I met her. Don’t worry. I’m confident.”---Meanwhile, after failing to find Scarlett, Mr. Larson returned to his car, his face dark as he pulled out his phone.He had never intended to keep that boy’s number.What he did not want to admit was that he had always known thi
