Semua Bab Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect: Bab 151 - Bab 160

The soft melody of "Free As A Bird" floated through the grand ballroom, where a pyramid of crystal champagne flutes sparkled beneath the chandeliers. Young women in designer evening gowns mingled and laughed throughout the space.Under the spotlights, their jewelry cast dazzling reflections across the room.In a quiet corner stood Sarah, wearing a sleek black velvet gown that hugged her curves. As one of the century's most distinguished formal wear designers, her dress perfectly embodied the fusion of elegance with modern sophistication.She wore minimal jewelry - just a single emerald pendant that added a subtle touch of refinement.Beside her stood Mia in a flowing princess ballgown, holding a plate of petit fours. Despite being one of the event's hostesses, her eyes betrayed an unsettling anxiety and nervousness.Mia seemed to shrink into herself as faces passed before her in an endless stream. Though each wore a polite smile, she could only see threatening expressions, never k

"If Miss Kourtney and her friends continue spreading malicious gossip, I'll have to ask you to leave.""We're leaving,” Miss Kourtney snapped, quickly retreating with a dark expression.Sarah kept her head down, unsure how to face Zachary or process what he had just said.She stared at the hem of her dress and her shoes, at a loss for how to react."Almost caused another scene. Are you alright?" Zachary asked gently.When Sarah didn't respond, he called again, "Sasa?""Oh? Yes, I'm listening. I'm fine," she replied distractedly.Her thoughts were a tangled mess, growing more complicated the more she dwelled on them.What did Zachary mean?"Why so lost in thought? The gala's about to start. May I have a dance with you later?"Sarah was still pondering whether Miss Kourtney's gossip would cause trouble for him."Sasa?" Zachary emphasized."Hm? What is it?""I asked if I could dance with you later?""Yes," Sarah answered quickly.Wait, what had she just agreed to?She had

That night, the Chancer household was in turmoil over a rumor Lucy had heard.She quickly turned her phone screen toward the three people at the dinner table. "Mom! James, Charlotte, look at this!"The screen showed a man and woman dancing, embracing as her dress swirled around them.Though many others were dancing around them, James immediately recognized Sarah and Zachary.His fingers trembled slightly as he silently sipped his soup.Charlotte noticed his reaction and remarked thoughtfully, "It's not surprising, really. They're always together anyway."Mrs. Chancer angrily threw down her utensils with a cold snort. "I've been saying all along - Sarah divorced you such a short time ago and now she's getting cozy with the Reynolds family. You never believed she was unfaithful during your marriage, and you still gave her eight million plus a house and car. Go get it all back!"When Mrs. Chancer mentioned money, Lucy glanced secretly at James, hoping he'd reclaim it - after all, t

She constantly felt someone was out to harm her, seeing everyone as a threat.But Sarah sensed there was more to it than just the kidnapping."After Mia was kidnapped, I searched for a long time. When I finally found her, she was like that day she had her episode - completely unhinged, not even recognizing me. She was broken for days, crying in terror every night," Zachary explained.Sarah's brows furrowed. "What exactly happened? Was Mia..."Zachary gave a resigned smile. "No, nothing like that. She witnessed them torturing people, heard the screaming, saw blood everywhere. She told her therapist that when she closed her eyes, all she could see was blood - the whole world turned red. Later, she had a complete breakdown, was unconscious for days. When she woke up, she'd forgotten everything. But she remained sensitive. I know she never truly recovered."So that was it...No wonder Mia was so timid. "Mr. Reynolds, Mia's mind must have instinctively chosen to forget that incident.

"The police just came and took James away for breaking and entering!" Charlotte explained anxiously."But wasn't James home the whole time? How could he break into anywhere?""He was distracted all evening after dinner. Around eleven, he went out by himself. I asked, but he wouldn't tell me where he was going." Charlotte recalled James's disturbed state earlier and began to suspect something.Could he have gone to...?At the university, Sarah received an email from Jane Lawrence in Milan. Since Jane had reviewed her paper, they'd frequently exchanged emails discussing psychological research.This email was about publishing her paper. Jane believed her research could be published in the Psychology Journal. Sarah had considered this before but had abandoned her career and prospects after marriage, leaving everything unfinished.Now, with Jane's suggestion, she was reconsidering.She had barely written a few words when Lucy burst in with Mrs. Chancer and Charlotte following."Sara
