James looked at her apologetically. He didn't understand how he'd lost himself in that final moment and called out... Sarah's name."I'm sorry." At this point, that's all he could say.Charlotte sobbed uncontrollably, her tear-filled eyes fixed on him. "James, why? How could you do this to me? Why did you call her name in bed? Do you regret marrying me? Regret divorcing her?""No, I've never regretted marrying you." James tried to hold Charlotte, but she shoved him away."If you don't regret marrying me, why did you call her name? Are you in love with her?" Charlotte's eyes blazed.James shook his head desperately, "Charlotte, I don't know what came over me. I wasn't thinking. I never meant to hurt you."Even he didn't understand his thoughts. When he heard Charlotte's whispers, he'd remembered Sarah's hatred toward him.Whether at Sarah's door or at the press conference after their divorce, he'd had many chances to see her, but her eyes remained cold and distant. It had been so

"I'm fine," Sarah forced a smile.Despite her best efforts, Mia's therapy showed no progress. Mia's connection to her seemed too deeply rooted. She couldn't figure out how to alter Mia's subconscious in the short term, and she'd discussed this with Scott.During their sessions, she'd found Mia easy to hypnotize, suggesting a generally malleable mind. Yet on this one issue, Mia showed incredible resistance, stubbornly pulling Sarah into that memory.After sending Mia to rest, Sarah sat alone on the couch, lost in thought for nearly two hours until Melvin returned.He was startled to see her. Holding up a wine bottle, he asked, "Care for a drink?""Sure."They hadn't sat together like this since her father's death when Melvin took over the company. After her marriage to James, they'd barely seen each other.Melvin had assumed Sarah was either acting out or avoiding painful memories, so he'd kept his distance. That is, until he saw her situation in the news.Sarah fetched two wine
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 236
Sarah pondered Melvin's words. What did he mean by "second time"? Was the first time marrying James?But she remembered her cousin hadn't strongly objected to that marriage initially. He only tried getting to know James after seeing her determination.So who was he really talking about?Melvin had taken the wine bottle, leaving just a little in her glass. She lifted it and downed it like he had.Back in her room, slightly tipsy, she checked her phone. Opening her chat with Zachary, she saw how brief their conversations had become over just three days - a few lines, with today's messages still unanswered."Are you there?""At work.""Miss me?"Every message spoke of longing, but met silence. She wondered if she'd somehow offended him.Sarah felt like she was reliving the past. These unanswered messages reminded her of her marriage - was history repeating itself?She'd only seen Zachary on the news these past days.Watching him looking tired on the financial news channel, she un

She was certain they were being followed.Her palms were sweaty with nerves. Mia finally noticed something was wrong. "Sarah, what is it?""Nothing," Sarah said softly. She couldn't let Mia be in danger - Zachary had entrusted Mia to her care.As they walked, she tried calling Zachary repeatedly, but only got busy signals. What was he doing?At the airport arrival hall, Zachary frowned as he declined the call. He wanted to answer, but he'd spotted her coming out.She wheeled her suitcase, fully disguised in sunglasses and mask. When she was about ten yards away, she took a call. After listening briefly, she smiled with satisfaction. "Continue."She hung up casually, handed her luggage to Zachary, and removed her sunglasses, revealing expressive eyes."Zachary, I knew you'd come for me." She moved to embrace him, but he stepped back.Pretending not to notice, she straightened up. "Still so cold? Aren't you happy to see me?"Zachary finally softened slightly. "It's not that. I'm

"Of course, and your grandfather misses you even more," Mr. Reynolds nodded toward Mr. Wilson.Vivian glanced at both elderly men, smiling. "I'm not leaving again. I've been gone too long - I miss everyone. Did you miss me, Zachary?"Zachary nodded absently, his mind on the missed calls.Vivian beamed. "Uncle William, I'll visit often. Don't get tired of me!""Never!" Mr. Reynolds laughed.At Adam University's gate, Melvin's face darkened. Half an hour after dismissal, Sarah wasn't answering his calls.He thought she was just trying to annoy him.But after waiting longer, something felt wrong. Even if she wanted to irritate him, this wasn't her style.He questioned the security guard, who called the counseling office - no answer. Growing worried, Melvin rushed to her office. It was empty, her things gone, including her bag.She'd clearly left after work. Then it hit him - had she snuck off to see Zachary? He clenched his fists. Why now, of all times? Vivian had just returned.

Mrs. Garnett looked at James with displeasure. "Is something wrong?"He'd been distracted since that call - must be something serious.Charlotte watched him too. He'd mentioned Sarah's name, which now triggered an instant reaction in her."Sarah's missing," James said.Remembering Melvin's words, he instinctively looked at Charlotte. "Do you know where she is?""James! What are you implying? How would I know where she is?" Charlotte's face hardened.James smiled apologetically. "After what Lucy did, I'm worried she might try something similar."Charlotte glared at him, but catching her mother's eye, she calmed herself. "James, I'm upset because you immediately suspected me. You know me better than that. I've been with you all day, never left your side. Besides, everyone knows the Sanders family disapproves of Zachary. Maybe Sarah just went to see him."Despite her explanation, James felt something wasn't right. If Sarah were with Zachary, Melvin wouldn't have called him. He dec
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 240
James stormed out of the Garnetts' mansion, Charlotte's voice fading behind him. “James, wait!"Behind the wheel of his Mercedes, he gripped the steering wheel until his knuckles turned white. The more he tried to push thoughts of Sarah away, the more they consumed him. Something wasn't right - he could feel it in his gut.He tried Melvin again. Still busy. Sarah's phone went straight to voicemail for the tenth time.What if Charlotte was wrong? Sure, Sarah might have gone to see Zachary. But this silence, this complete disappearance - it felt deliberate. Planned.In darkness, Sarah couldn't tell where they were being held. Her wrists were bound tight, a gag in her mouth, every muscle screaming in pain.Through the walls, she heard men's voices. "Boss, this woman's too pretty. The guys are getting restless.""Cut it out! We're here for the money, nothing else. The pay's good - anyone who can't follow orders can leave now."Who were these people?Who ordered the kidnapping?Who w
Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 241
The men burst out laughing. "Funny. Let her go crazy - as long as she doesn't die, who cares?"Sarah froze. Of course - these weren't normal people. They were criminals.She changed tactics. "Listen. She's Zachary Reynolds' sister, and I'm from the Sanders family. If it's money you want, we can pay more than whoever hired you - several times more. If it's not about money, you should still let us go. Whatever your boss can do, Zachary can do better. And what your boss can't do? Zachary might try anyway."She was trying to turn them, but it wasn't working.They stuck to their plan. She scanned the room, looking for escape routes."You think we're common thugs who'll switch sides for more cash?" the leader sneered. "The underworld has rules. If we let targets buy us off, who'd trust us with future jobs?"Sarah changed approach. "If bribes won't work, what about threats? Aren't you afraid?"Her eyes flashed like a hawk's. "Afraid of what?" they challenged."Her brother and mine are

The scenery here had a unique charm. The entire villa complex was surrounded by lush greenery that blended naturally with the surroundings. The designer's bold vision was enough to make anyone feel a sense of wonder.The driver turned off the engine and said dutifully through the rearview mirror, "Miss, we've arrived. Would you like to get out?"Vivian stared silently at these homes that even a fortune couldn't buy, then nodded.The driver got out and opened the rear door for her.Stepping onto the ground in her high heels, Vivian noticed the uneven cobblestones covering the entrance to the villa and immediately thought the designer must have been out of their mind.She tried taking a few steps and nearly twisted her ankle.With no choice left, Vivian had to take off her shoes and carry them, continuing forward carefully.She couldn't help wondering if she had made a mistake. How could Zachary possibly live in such an odd place?However, halfway there, she saw a black Range Rove

The vineyard manager frowned when he heard this, walking over to ask, "What did they say?"Seeing his manager, the worker quickly embellished the conversation, raising his fist indignantly. "Sir, don't worry. If they dare cause trouble, we won't back down. We'll make sure they regret coming here."The vineyard manager, "..." What a jumbled mess—he could barely understand what the worker was saying.Still, Vivian had a point. Even if they chose not to continue the partnership, there was no need to burn bridges completely. That wouldn't benefit him either.With this in mind, the vineyard manager calmed down his overly excited worker. "That's enough. Send them a message and tell them five o'clock this afternoon, River Café. Don't be late."Finally meeting the vineyard manager, Vivian got straight to the point, "Mr. Mendeson, I won't play games with you. Before deciding to work with you, the Wilson Group researched your public information. I have some understanding of your character. B

At the front desk, Sarah watched seven or eight people standing in line, all holding identical discount vouchers. This was likely a company team-building activity.She listened to their chatty discussions, which included some crude language as they made no effort to hide their rough backgrounds."This place is so luxurious! The company really splurged to send us somewhere this fancy. I've never stayed in such a nice hotel in my life.""Me neither, but let's not forget why we're actually here and pretend we're just on vacation!""Oh, come on, who's going to forget?"Sarah's ears perked up. These people's conversation seemed suspicious, almost as if they wanted others to notice them.After about fifteen minutes, when everyone ahead had finally checked in, Sarah presented her VIP custom invitation and completed her member registration. She lay on the spacious bed in a room with floor-to-ceiling windows that offered views of the beach and ocean.It was noon, and sunlight spilled onto

"Mr. Sanders, I believe I was very clear in my email. With the current uncertain situation, cooperating with me is the most rational choice," Zachary said seriously.Melvin burst out laughing. "I might have believed you if you'd said this a few years ago, but times have changed. Zachary, do you remember what you promised me before? Have you kept any of those promises? Neither three years ago nor now have you delivered."When Melvin mentioned three years ago, Zachary's eyes filled with gravity and shame. No one understood better than they did what had happened—that horrific scene was too painful to even think about.He moved his lips. "People can't always live in the past."Even he couldn't believe his own words.Melvin said with self-mockery, "Listen to yourself. How absurd that sounds. People indeed can't live in the past forever, but Sarah has been trapped in that darkness for three years. Do you dare to face it? To uncover it?"After being wounded, a bleeding injury slowly form

Vivian exhaled deeply and said anxiously, "Grandfather, what happened last time upset Zachary, and he won't see me now. But I'll handle it properly."Old Mr. Wilson gave Vivian a meaningful look. "Good. I certainly trust your abilities."After seeing Old Mr. Wilson into his car, Vivian returned to her office and made a mysterious phone call, giving some instructions.After hanging up, her face broke into a satisfied smile, as if she was already enjoying the sweet taste of victory.At the Sanders Group."Smack." Sarah hit Melvin hard on the head.Melvin winced in pain. "Are you doing this on purpose? Taking personal revenge? I haven't even bothered you lately."Sarah shrugged, looking innocent. "Didn't you say your right eyelid keeps twitching? The left means money coming, the right means trouble. I'm just using an old folk remedy to ward off the bad luck."Melvin couldn't help rolling his eyes. "I don't know if the bad luck is gone, but I almost got a concussion from your 'remed

"Don't any of you have something to say?" Old Mr. Wilson sat in the chairman's exclusive seat, leaning back with an expressionless face as he surveyed the room.Some shareholders had come just out of respect for Old Mr. Wilson. They exchanged glances for a moment before Mr. Jefferson finally broke the silence, "What if we lower our prices or add more package deals?"As soon as he finished speaking, several members of the company's management team eagerly agreed. "Mr. Jefferson makes a good point."Old Mr. Wilson twirled the dragon-headed cane in his right hand, his expression revealing neither approval nor disapproval.Vivian, who had remained silent since the start of the meeting, finally spoke up, "I don't think that's appropriate."She looked at everyone present, her tone serious, "First, the Sanders Group's revenue has already exceeded the projected line by over a billion. If we lower our prices, even if we attract more customers, the overall result will be the same."By this

Vivian never expected that despite her orders to keep the detained shipment a secret, the board of directors would somehow catch wind of it.As soon as the meeting began, the middle-aged man sitting in the first seat on the right frowned and questioned her, "Ms. Wilson, are you hiding something from us?"Mr. Jefferson had the largest shareholding in the Wilson Group after Vivian and her grandfather. Compared to others, his words carried more authority.Naturally, Vivian had to show him some respect, given that she was the younger generation."Mr. Jefferson, by seniority, I should call you Uncle. You've watched me grow up. Do you think I would hide anything from you?" Vivian decided to play dumb first. She was certain these people had only heard rumors and hadn't yet gathered evidence.This was indeed the case. Mr. Jefferson narrowed his eyes, his expression unchanged, speaking in a tone that was half-joking, half-threatening, "Ms. Wilson, please don't say that. When it comes to bus

Charlotte ignored her, still peering behind the caretaker.The caretaker patted her chest and smiled as she approached. "Are you looking for Mr. Chancer? He went back to work. He asked me to take care of you. I thought you might wake up soon, so I went out to buy some nutritious soup for you.""You're saying he left? He left before I even woke up?" Charlotte struggled to open her dry lips, her voice raspier than ever before.Hearing this, the caretaker quickly set down the thermos and handed her the cup of tea from the table. "Please drink some water to soothe your throat, but don't drink too much. You've just given birth, so try to stay in bed and rest as much as possible."Charlotte found the water being offered to her ironically bitter.She had endured excruciating pain to give birth to James's child, yet he couldn't even spare a simple "thank you" for her efforts. Was this the marriage she had schemed so hard to get?Did she regret it? If someone asked, she might answer yes, b

"Answer me. Do you most hope it's heads or tails?" Sarah's voice carried an undeniable authority.The woman finally spoke. "Tails."Before Sarah's hand moved, the woman hurriedly corrected herself, "No, no, no—heads."Her indecisiveness reminded Sarah of her former self. Choosing between reason and emotion was often the hardest decision. It had once taken her several days to make up her mind.Sarah opened her palm. The woman's eyes widened, staring as if trying to burn a hole through Sarah's hand. But quickly, she discovered that Sarah's palm was completely empty. There was no coin at all.No heads or tails—there wasn't even a coin to begin with.Seeing the woman's confused expression, Sarah smiled and said, "In the moment I opened my hand, your heart already had the answer. I can't tell you how to solve your problem, nor can I make the decision for you. But you should know that you only have one life, while love can be found more than once. The fact that you're troubled by this s
