Chapter 7

Author: Summer Knowles
Sarah's eyelashes fluttered as she considered Professor Wells's words.

If she hadn't married James, she would've become a practicing therapist by now. Even though her knowledge was still intact, could she really return to her field after all these years?

Professor Wells sensed her hesitation. "There's no rush," he said kindly. "But if you're interested, I'm here to help."

"Thank you, Professor." Sarah felt a wave of warmth. Despite her absence these past years, he still cared about his former student.

After discussing his health and chatting for a while longer, he even invited her to stay for lunch. It was late afternoon by the time she left.

With tomorrow's hunting trip in mind, she picked up her prepared gear and clothing.

The next morning, Scarlett picked her up and drove them to the mountain lodge. They arrived early, finding only a few unfamiliar faces. Since the Reynolds family was hosting the event, it had drawn quite a mixed crowd. Sarah wasn't in the mood for small talk, so she headed straight inside to change and select her rifle.

As she was about to leave the lodge, she heard a familiar voice,

"James, Charlotte! I didn't expect to see you here. I thought this wasn't your kind of thing?"

"Charlotte heard the game hunting was good here. Thought we'd check it out."

Sarah's heart skipped a beat. She opened the door to find James's friend greeting the couple enthusiastically.

Seeing her, he blurted out, "Sarah! What are you doing here?" He immediately regretted it, watching James's face darken.

Sarah had pulled her hair back and wore no makeup. Without her glasses, wearing contacts instead, she stood in fitted hunting gear that gave her an air of confident competence.

James had never seen her like this. His brow furrowed. "What are you doing here?"

Scarlett, now changed into her own gear, shot James a withering look. "What's the problem? You can parade around with your side piece, but Sarah can't come here to change her mood?”

"James didn't mean it like that," Charlotte interjected smoothly. "It's just... they're divorced now. For Sarah to show up here, not knowing how to hunt, clearly following James... it's a bit inappropriate, don't you think?"

As Charlotte spoke, not only did James's expression turn disgusted, but whispers spread through the crowd. The other wealthy guests, all somewhat familiar with James and Sarah's situation, were drawing their own conclusions. James had never publicly acknowledged Sarah during their marriage, and now here she was, seemingly stalking him after their divorce. It looked desperate.

Scarlett exploded. "Listen here, you little-"

Sarah caught her arm, holding her back. She turned to Charlotte and James with a cool smile. "You've got it wrong. I'm here to hunt..."

She loaded her rifle with practiced ease, her tone casual but sharp. "Not only can I hunt, I'm quite good at it. If you don't believe me, just watch..."

Suddenly, the crowd fell silent except for approaching footsteps. Zachary walked toward them, a smile playing on his lips.

He took a state-of-the-art rifle from one of his staff and offered it to Sarah. "The latest model. I'm looking forward to seeing your skills, Miss Sanders."

His blue eyes held an intensity that matched his enigmatic smile, both captivating and dangerous.

    Steven used the curves and elevation to try to swing the car back downhill.But the people behind them seemed to anticipate exactly what he was doing.The moment Steven turned, the other driver slammed on the gas and crashed into them.Facing an attacker who seemed willing to die just to take them down, Steven still had to protect Scarlett in the passenger seat.He steadied his breathing and said, “Don’t worry. I promised your father I’d get you home safely.”Scarlett listened to him and forced herself to stay calm.“Okay,” she said softly. “I trust you.”The car shot through the next turn, with the vehicle behind them still in relentless pursuit.Then Steven hit another sharp bend.This time, the car behind them seized the opening and rammed them with everything it had.In an instant, both of them felt the sickening drop of weightlessness.Their car smashed through the guardrail at the curve and rolled down the mountainside.The pursuing vehicle screeched to a stop.Sever

    As their breathing grew uneven, Scarlett finally came back to her senses.They were outside. Even though no one seemed to be around, she was still afraid.“Don’t,” she said, resisting a little. “We’re outside.”Steven stopped and lowered his head into the crook of her neck, breathing hard. A moment later, he smiled and rubbed her hair.“I know. I won’t do anything reckless.”Once they had both calmed down, they got up, packed the tent, and left.The car drove steadily down the hillside.But just as Steven turned onto the main road, a car behind them started its engine.After circling halfway around the hill, they headed back toward the city. The headlights behind them kept flashing harshly, and Steven glanced into the rearview mirror several times.Gradually, he realized something was wrong.No matter where they turned, the car behind them followed at the same steady distance.Steven slowed down and opened up the passing lane, but the car still stayed close behind them.Sca

    After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Steven pulled out a fishing rod and said, “Time to show you what I can do.”As far as Scarlett could remember, Steven had never gone fishing in his life. He was usually glued to a computer, typing nonstop.Watching how eager he looked, she could not help asking, “Do you even know how to fish?”That question nearly choked him.Truthfully, he did not know much about fishing. But he had asked someone to teach him beforehand, and with his intelligence, catching a few big fish should not be hard.So he said confidently, “Trust me. You’ll be eating the freshest fish in a little while.”Scarlett did not really believe him, but she still said politely, “Then I’ll be waiting.”Steven followed the instructions step by step, but the hardest part turned out to be baiting the hook.The red worms in his hand kept wriggling, and he could not get one onto the hook no matter how hard he tried. He got so flustered he nearly stabbed his own finger.Than

    The sales associates at the luxury boutique watched the couple walk in.They could not see the young woman’s face clearly, but judging from their clothes and bearing alone, it was obvious neither of them was ordinary.One associate warmly stepped forward to greet them, but the girl visibly froze for a moment, then moved behind the man.Steven immediately understood that she still had not overcome being in crowded public places, so he stepped forward and blocked the associate’s curious gaze.“Bring out every new arrival in her size. One of each.”The associate’s eyes lit up at an order that large.“Of course, sir. We also just received new handbags and shoes. Would you like to take a look?”Steven turned slightly and asked Scarlett for her opinion.Scarlett secretly squeezed his hand, then nodded and said softly, “Yes, I do.”The associate stood to the side, watching how attached they were to each other. Then she heard the girl’s sweet voice and instantly understood why a man w

    The cabinet door was yanked open. Aaron took a whip from inside and walked back to Mindy.“Are you going to talk or not?”Mindy pressed her lips together and shook her head through her tears.Aaron raised the whip and brought it down hard. It cut through the air with a sharp crack, followed by a woman’s scream.The pain made Mindy curl in on herself. With nowhere left to retreat, she could only look up at the man holding the whip and beg, “Mr. Hernandez, please stop...”“Fine. Then tell me what you said.”“Nothing. I didn’t say anything!”Aaron lost patience and struck her several more times. Sweat broke out across Mindy’s forehead, and after only a few hits, she could no longer hold on. She passed out.At the Larson residence.Scarlett tried on dress after dress from her closet, but none of them felt quite right.She pouted and complained, “Everything in my closet is out of style. I need to go shopping again.”Her slightly aggrieved voice reached Steven through the phone, a

    Inside the presidential suite, Mindy stood anxiously in front of the sofa.The man was sitting there with a glass of red wine in his hand, slowly swirling it.She had not felt this panicked in a long time.The last time she had stood here, it had also been because of Wilson Corp. Vivian had suddenly lost her mind, ruining all the work they had done before. Back then, Mindy had promised she would take Wilson Corp back within a week.For that, she had gone to see Vivian herself.But before she could do anything, Wilson Corp had fallen into Zachary’s hands.Her hands trembled slightly at her sides. She did not dare look anywhere except at the man’s polished leather shoes.A cold laugh slipped from Aaron Hernandez’s mouth.Mindy shuddered and whispered, “I’m sorry.”A sharp crack rang out.The wineglass shattered at her feet. Red wine splashed everywhere, staining the hem of her white dress. She flinched and stepped back in fright, but soon forced herself to return to where she h

    Mia looked at her freshly painted pink nails. A tiny bunny sticker sat on her ring finger. She gave a faint smile. “They’re pretty.”After what had happened last time, she had improved a little. At least now she could manage simple conversations with Lucas.As he carefully brushed on another coat

    “Miss Garner, please don’t panic. I’ll check with the guy who left the baby at the hospital entrance,” the man said.Five or six minutes passed before his voice came back on the line. “Miss Garner, I asked him.

    Nick frowned and reached a hand toward Lucy. “Grab my hand.”Lucy looked at him in pure terror. Her hand trembled as she stretched it out. “Nick!”Her soft, pale fingers landed in his palm.In the next second, Nick yanked her toward him and pulled her onto his horse in one clean motion. The saddl
