Chapter 142

Author: Summer Knowles
"Who says that? Must be some fool—every day, they make me so angry I can't even eat!" Richard glared pointedly at James.

"Grandpa, do you have to call me out like this?" James replied with a helpless smile.

Before the conversation could continue, the door opened, and Lucy strode in. She made a beeline for Richard, putting on her sweetest expression. "Grandpa, I came to see you."

Richard gave her a cold glance and said nothing.

"You've got some nerve showing up here after what you did to Sarah," he finally snapped. "And you still have the audacity to look me in the eye?"

Lucy feigned remorse. "Grandpa, I know I was wrong."

Sarah stood off to the side, her expression icy as she glanced at James. If she had known this would turn into a family reunion, she wouldn't have come.

"Sarah treated you so well—how could you be so ungrateful? Apologize to her right now! If you can't do that, get out and don't come back!" Richard demanded sternly.

Lucy turned to Sarah with exaggerated humili

  • Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect   Chapter 1238

    When she spoke to someone in a wheelchair, she would lower herself to one knee, offering the microphone with grace.Clips like these had been edited together by her fans and posted online, racking up millions of views.Of course, that wasn’t all.When faced with someone malicious, she could turn cold and sharp. She was no fragile “angelic sweetheart” like the internet imagined. Her popularity was massive for a reason.Sarah felt a headache coming on.How was she supposed to deal with someone like this?---Soon it was time to meet Zachary.She didn’t bother with makeup—just tied her hair into a loose ponytail, threw on casual clothes, and headed downstairs.Zachary was already waiting, leaning against his car. When he saw her, he immediately crushed out his cigarette, though the faint smoke lingered on him.“Let’s go.”He opened the door for her, helped her in, and even buckled her seatbelt.Sarah leaned back. The mix of cedar and tobacco on him wasn’t unpleasant.---On the

    Zachary’s eyes dimmed. He could do so much for Sarah, but that one word—thank you—was the only thing he couldn’t bear to hear. It made them feel distant, formal, like strangers.“Don’t say those two words to me again,” he said quietly, hurt in his voice.Sarah frowned. What was he doing now?“Sarah, between us—”“Steven,” she cut him off quickly, her pulse tightening, “did you figure out anything from the flash drive?”She didn’t want to hear whatever Zachary was about to say.But seeing the wounded look in his eyes made something inside her… shift.Something she didn’t want shifting.Steven jumped in. “Not yet. I’ve been focused on the phone numbers. As for the flash drive, I tried, but it’s protected by a self-destruct program. If I push harder, it might wipe itself. I’m not taking the risk.”“I understand.”---They headed downstairs together.Melvin immediately slipped into the car, giving them space. Sarah moved to get in too, but Zachary stepped in front of her.“What

    She tried to search her memory, but realized her recollection of those four years was frozen in one place—her entanglement with Zachary.During that period, she had spent nearly all her time with him.Everything else had faded.The realization left her frustrated and guilty.She turned toward Melvin, hoping he might remember something, anything.But after studying the photo, Melvin shook his head. “I’ve never seen this woman in front of Uncle David. Not once.”Sarah lowered her eyes, pressing her lips together before saying quietly, “I want to meet her. I need to see Mindy Hicks in person.”At thirty-seven, the actress looked no older than twenty-five. No trace of age touched her face. Her beauty was undeniable, more striking than anyone Sarah had ever met.Suddenly Melvin spoke up. “Sarah… doesn’t she look like your mother?”Her mother?Sarah’s pupils contracted sharply. She stared at the photo again.Her memories of her mother were faint, but she still remembered warm hands

    The gold-embossed card belonged to Meridian Corp’s CEO, Mr. Max.Charlotte instantly understood what her father meant.She couldn’t even blame him.After her divorce from James, Garnett Corp no longer had the powerful backing it once enjoyed. The company had only risen because the Chancer family supported it. Now that support was gone. Her father had no choice but to look for a new ally and the easiest path was through her.Charlotte let out a bitter laugh. She understood the logic, even if she hated the meaning.But a question gnawed at her.What if Mr. Max cared about her scandals? Even though every rumor was true.She tossed the gold card aside and collapsed onto her bed, exhausted. If she wanted any chance of fighting Sarah again, she needed leverage and leverage meant finding a new power to stand behind her.So… in a few days, she would let her mother take her shopping for couture.---Sarah was in her office when her phone rang.“It’s done,” Steven said.Just two words b

    News spread through the business departments and management floors almost instantly.And of course, the gossip followed.A few employees took a break together, chatting over tea, repeating every rumor they had seen online—whether true or not—with dramatic flair.Charlotte, who had just arrived at the office for the first time in ages, happened to walk past just as one of the women said, “Honestly, our CEO’s daughter never learned to be content. She already has a kid and still can’t stay in line. No wonder he divorced her.”The words made Charlotte’s blood run cold.She stepped forward in one sharp stride, stopping behind them with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. “Sounds like you’re having a great time. Want to hear something even funnier? I’ve got plenty of stories.”“Miss Garnett! We didn’t mean anything by it. Please don’t be upset. We’ll get back to work right now.”The group scattered like startled birds, disappearing down the hallway.They had only been repeating what w

    Mrs. Garnett stiffened with worry the moment she heard the news. Her carefully maintained face tightened with genuine concern. “She didn’t eat? That’s not okay. Warm the food again and give it to me—I’ll take it to her myself.”The housekeeper practically sighed with relief. Miss Charlotte had been unpredictable these past few days—sometimes throwing things, sometimes shutting down entirely. The housekeeper was terrified of getting caught in one of her outbursts.She carefully handed the tray to Mrs. Garnett and quickly returned to her chores.Mrs. Garnett went upstairs and stopped at Charlotte’s bedroom door. She knocked. No response.With a frown, she pulled out the spare key and let herself in.The room was dim and silent.“Charlotte, honey, it’s Mom,” she called softly. “The housekeeper said you didn’t eat. I’m worried about you.”From beneath the blankets, Charlotte slowly lifted her head. It took her a long moment to speak. When she did, her voice was hoarse. “Just… leave t
