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.

    “Melvin,” Sarah said firmly, “send someone to stay close to Quincy at all times. And reach out to the Sachs family, but quietly. Don’t tip anyone off.”Melvin nodded. “Got it.”He was just about to stand up when Sarah called out again.“Wait. Melvin… have you found anything about Dr. Xavier?”She couldn’t let it go. She still had no idea what those people wanted. Was it about Tina? Or was it about her father?Melvin shook his head, sounding impatient. “Nothing. They covered their tracks well. I ran a full internal audit these past two days. No signs of a mole.”Sarah gave a soft, unsettling laugh. “The smartest mole never looks suspicious. He acts loyal, humble, harmless. Completely ordinary. He won’t show his hand until he gets an order.”“So you mean… we wait? Wait for him to expose himself.”“Melvin, seems like you don’t know your own employees as well as you think.” Sarah lifted a brow.Melvin snorted. “Why would I need to, when I have you?”Sarah crossed her arms. “Also,

    “Auntie, I understand,” Quincy said softly.The rumors grew louder by the hour. The people involved barely cared, but everyone watching from the sidelines could not sit still.While Charlotte was still trying to figure out how to get the Wilson Corporation shares from Melvin, she suddenly saw the trending news article.Quincy Sachs.The gentle, elegant heir of the Sachs family.Charlotte had tried again and again to use Sarah as leverage against Melvin, but every attempt failed. Sarah was always surrounded by people protecting her. There was never an opening.But what if she changed her target and went after Quincy instead?Melvin never let anyone get close to him. Not for years.Quincy was the only exception.At the same time, Sarah also saw the news. She even mentioned it casually to Melvin over dinner, but he seemed completely unfazed.“Cousin, Miss Sachs is a good person. She reminds me a lot of Mia—kind and naïve. And she’s exactly the girl your mother keeps pushing toward

    The moment Quincy stepped through the entrance of the mall, she spotted Mrs. Sanders waiting nearby.“Auntie, I’m so sorry. I just got off work. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.” Quincy hurried over and slipped her arm through Mrs. Sanders’s with a sweet, obedient smile.Mrs. Sanders patted her hand. “Nonsense. I know you’re busy with work. I drag you out shopping all the time. As long as you don’t get tired of me, I’m already grateful.”“How could I ever? I love shopping with you. My parents are always overseas and barely have time to come home. Shopping with you feels just like going out with my mom.”Her words made Mrs. Sanders laugh out loud. “You really know how to make someone happy, you sweet girl.”They walked into a boutique Mrs. Sanders seemed particularly fond of.“Quincy, come try this dress. It’s such a bright color. You have fair skin, so it will look stunning on you.”Mrs. Sanders held up a red dress trimmed with sheer fabric, her expression full of affection.

    Most people who visited Pine Mist Island came to relax and unwind. Quintessial Wine was perfect for sitting on the beach and sipping while the ocean breeze rolled in.“Of course I can,” Quincy said. She noticed Melvin’s assistant walking in and out several times with documents. Clearly, he was busy.She stood up right away. “Melvin, I won’t keep you. We can talk another time. I should head back.”“Alright. Be careful on the way home,” Melvin said without trying to make her stay.What Quincy did not expect was that only two hours after leaving Sanders Corp, her appearance at the building had already spread across the entire internet. The news caused an immediate uproar.After finishing her surgery, the operating room lights dimmed. Quincy went straight to the decontamination room, removed her gear, and walked back to her office.Along the corridor, she felt eyes on her from every direction—curiosity, jealousy, irritation. She had no idea what had happened.Until she overheard a g

    At Sanders Corp headquarters, a car pulled up to the front entrance. Quincy stepped out with a thermos carrier in hand. The security guards recognized her and let her through immediately.Everyone in the building knew who she was. The assistant led her straight to the CEO’s office before quietly stepping away.Quincy knocked lightly. After hearing permission from inside, she opened the door.“Melvin, I brought you something to eat.”She had not planned to come today, but Mrs. Sanders had been urging her nonstop. She could tell Mrs. Sanders was eager to see her and Melvin end up together.Quincy wanted that too, but feelings could not be forced. She could not make Melvin like her.“Have a seat.” Melvin finished the document in his hand and moved to sit beside her.Quincy opened the thermos carrier. Inside were the desserts she had made herself and a pot of soup she had simmered.She looked shyly up at him. “Melvin, try it. Auntie said you like these, so I made a little.”Her wo

    “What did she tell you?” Melvin asked, already losing patience.Mrs. Sanders pushed the lunchbox she brought across the desk. “She didn’t need to say anything. Do you really take me for an idiot? I can see perfectly well what’s going on. I was out shopping with Quincy today and we passed a pastry shop. She insisted on buying these for you. She’s such a thoughtful girl.”“I understand. Anything else?”“Can’t I drop by without a reason? I’m your mother, not one of your employees. Do I need an appointment to see you now?”She glared at him, resentment simmering under her voice.In her heart, the blame all fell on Sarah. She was convinced Sarah was the reason her son treated her so coldly.The whispers she overheard in the elevator resurfaced in her mind, and she finally snapped. “Are you living with that woman again?”“Mom, she is my cousin. Stop calling her that.” Melvin’s tone was firm.Mrs. Sanders let out a sharp, bitter laugh. “A piece of gum stuck to your shoe has more self-a
