Chapter 227

Author: Summer Knowles
"I can't believe Sarah has this kind of influence!" Lucy paced her room, struggling to process the revelation. All this time, she'd dismissed Sarah as a gold-digger after her brother's money.

"An heiress? Really?" She scoffed. "I thought her inheritance went to Melvin when her parents died."

James slammed his hand on the desk. "Have you learned nothing? First Zachary Reynolds, and now the Sanders family? You won't rest until you've destroyed everything we've built!"

He massaged his temples, regretting his decision to sign her out of Pyschiatric Hospital. If he'd known she'd cause this much chaos...

"They started it!" Lucy protested. "Making ridiculous threats about ruining us in minutes. I couldn't just stand there!"

"Enough!" James snapped, his patience finally breaking. Lucy recoiled at his tone, fleeing to her room.

Alone in his study, James stared at his buzzing phone - the Garnetts again, undoubtedly demanding updates about Charlotte. As if the company's crisis wasn't enough

    James slumped to the ground, letting out a weary sigh. The bruises and welts left by the baseball bats still throbbed with pain. It took him a long while to steady his breathing and gather the strength to stand.He had just braced himself on the pavement, not fully upright yet, when Lucy appeared.“James?” she gasped, completely stunned by the sight of him.His face darkened. “Help me to the car,” he said, pointing to the luxury vehicle beside them.“I’ll take you to the hospital,” Lucy offered, reaching out to support him.“No. Just take me home,” James replied coldly.Lucy helped him into the car and drove him straight back to the house.The moment they walked through the door, their mother gasped at the sight of him.“James! What happened to you? Did you get into a fight?” she asked anxiously.Hearing her voice, Charlotte rushed downstairs. When she saw James’s battered face, she let out a sharp breath. “Oh my God. What happened to you?”“You’re seriously injured! Why didn

    She knew very well how hard Lucas had worked to make it this far in the entertainment industry.So she agreed to help him.But on one condition—her brother couldn’t find out.---Chancer Corp.Lucy had a good idea what Charlotte was thinking. But over the past couple of days, she had also come to a realization: there was a serious rift between her brother and Charlotte. That crack might just be her way in.What surprised her more, however, was what she saw when she visited her brother’s office. His computer screen had a photo of Sarah displayed right at the top.While he was away in a meeting, Lucy took the chance to rummage through his drawers—and sure enough, she found a photo album. It was full of pictures of Sarah and her brother, taken before their divorce. In every single one, Sarah was smiling.Lucy stared at the photos, her lips slowly curving into a smile.So that’s why Charlotte always seemed so suspicious at home. It wasn’t just paranoia—there was something real goi

    The woman clenched her fists in fury. “Whether he likes me or not has nothing to do with you!”“Then whether I talk to him or not has nothing to do with you either,” Mia replied, her voice calm but cold.“You—!”“What, you what?” Mia narrowed her eyes. Seeing how flustered the woman was made her all the more amused. “Lucas even gave me a piggyback ride. He took me out to eat. Helped me win prizes from a claw machine. What’s he ever done for you?”Jealousy flared in the woman’s eyes, but she still held on to her purpose. “Are you serious? You’re not making this up?”“Of course I’m serious. We even delivered gifts to the kids at the orphanage. You wouldn’t know what that feels like. So how about you just leave?” Mia’s voice turned sharp. She hated people who acted like the world owed them something.The woman’s face twisted with rage. She turned and stormed off without another word.Just as she walked away, Lucas came down from set. The woman brushed past him, shooting him a glare

    Even though Zachary knew what Mia was planning this afternoon, he still felt uneasy when he saw her get into Lucas’s car.During the investigation, there had been no information about Lucas’s background—which was exactly what bothered him most.Someone with no known identity somehow becoming an A-list actor? There was no way he had made it in the entertainment industry without serious backing.About half an hour later, Mia finally returned home. The first thing she did was rush in and announce excitedly, “Zachary! I’ve decided—I’m going into showbiz!”Zachary frowned slightly. “Where did that come from all of a sudden? Did Lucas put that idea in your head? Mia, the entertainment industry isn’t as easy as it looks. People have to work dozens, even hundreds of times harder than average to succeed—especially someone like you, without formal training or professional skills.”He never sugarcoated things, but he didn’t want to crush her enthusiasm either. “How about this. You can visi

    “Sasa, just listen to Zachary for the next few days, okay? Let him drive you to and from work,” Melvin said firmly.Seeing how tense both of them looked, Sarah couldn’t help but feel something must have happened.“What’s going on?” she asked.Noticing her growing frustration, Zachary finally spoke.“We’ve been pressuring Vivian too hard lately. I think she’s about to snap. And if that happens, no one knows what she’s capable of.”“So what? That gives you two the right to make decisions for me without even asking how I feel?” She turned to Zachary. “And you. After everything that’s happened, you still don’t trust me.”Melvin’s expression turned serious.“Sasa, we do trust you. But we can’t afford to take any risks. Not even the slightest chance of losing you.”Losing you... That’s the one possibility none of us could bear.Sarah looked at her cousin. “So you feel the same way?”“There are things you don’t know yet,” Melvin said gently. “It’s complicated. But because of those t

    The children shook their heads.“Mia,” one of them said, "the power went out while the kitchen auntie was cooking, so the food wasn’t finished."A little girl finally gathered her courage and stood up."But I think the spinach porridge still tastes good. Miss Mia, you should try it too."She held out her bowl, then quickly lowered her head, a little embarrassed, as if she wanted to pull her hand back.Mia took the bowl with a smile and sipped it.“Mmm, it’s actually really good. But I already ate before I came. If I hadn’t, I probably would’ve finished your spinach porridge and left you hungry.”The little girl beamed, and the other children around her broke into smiles too.From the side, Lucas swallowed hard. The spinach porridge looked thin and watery, probably nothing more than broth and greens. And it had already been touched.He’d assumed Mia would just pretend to drink it.But she didn’t.Then Mia pulled over the big bag of dolls.“Look what I brought! I went to the
