Chapter 40

Author: Summer Knowles
Lindsey gazed at Lucy with admiration, laying on the flattery. "Oh my god, Lucy, your brother's so sweet! I heard CEOs are super busy, yet he makes time to pick up his sister!"

Lucy preened under the praise, smirking proudly. "Well, of course. My brother totally dotes on me. I'm his favorite."

"God, Lucy, I'm so jealous! You've got the looks, the family background, and such an amazing brother... I've never even been in a Maserati!" Lindsey gushed, secretly hoping Lucy would offer her a ride. She could already imagine the Instagram photos making her high school friends green with envy.

As expected, Lucy scoffed dismissively. "Look at you, acting like you've never seen luxury before. Fine, I'll have my brother give you a ride too!"

With that, Lucy strode toward James.

“James, what brings you here today?" she called out in an artificially sweet voice, basking in the attention from passing students. Sure, she'd always had a private driver, but James had forced her to keep things low-k

  • Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect   Chapter 1108

    “Miss Garner, please don’t panic. I’ll check with the guy who left the baby at the hospital entrance,” the man said.Five or six minutes passed before his voice came back on the line. “Miss Garner, I asked him. He said he dropped the baby at the gate and ran right after. Have you checked the hospital surveillance footage?”Charlotte hesitated. “I did. There was nothing. No clue at all.”The line went quiet for a few seconds before a flat, robotic voice replaced the man’s. “Miss Garner, our deal is done. When can we expect payment?”Her stomach dropped. The mechanical tone sent a chill down her spine. Callum was still missing. No one knew if he was safe and yet these people were still demanding money.Her voice rose, trembling with fury. “My son is gone, and all you care about is money? Don’t forget, it was your people who took him!”“We only followed your instructions,” the voice replied coolly.“Yes, I told you to stage a scare, not abandon my baby in the open!” she shouted, he

    James was the first to regain composure. His expression turned hard as he looked at the empty bundle in Charlotte’s arms.“Director,” he said, his voice steady but cold, “have your staff keep checking the surveillance footage. That man must have appeared somewhere in the hospital. Detain anyone suspicious and contact me immediately. Even if he’s already left, I want to know.”The hospital director understood the gravity of the situation and nodded firmly.Charlotte’s tears streamed down like rain. “James, what are we going to do? What if something happens to Callum?”“Don’t say that!” Mrs. Chancer snapped sharply. “Nothing will happen to him. He’s my grandson. I won’t let anyone hurt him.”Charlotte wiped her tears, her fingers trembling as fear crawled up her spine. Everything had gone exactly according to plan. There was no way this was supposed to happen. So why had it?She wanted to call her hired men right then, but she couldn’t—not with James and Mrs. Chancer right beside h

    Charlotte’s anger reignited. She pointed straight at James, her voice trembling with fury. “He did it on purpose! He lost my baby, my poor Callum! He’s just a few months old!”Mrs. Chancer’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Charlotte, what nonsense are you talking about? James is Callum’s father. Why on earth would he ever do something like that on purpose?”Charlotte let out a bitter laugh. “Wouldn’t he? Mom, you have no idea. If it weren’t for Callum’s vaccination today, I wouldn’t have seen him for weeks. He treats our home like a hotel!”Her tone grew sharper, tears spilling down her face. “And you know why? Because of that woman! Sarah Sanders!”She jabbed a trembling finger toward the monitor, her voice breaking. “I was gone for just a few minutes, Mom. He saw some woman who looked like her, and he ran after her. That’s when Callum disappeared!”Her tears fell hard and fast. The grief and accusation in her voice made her look heartbreakingly fragile.Mrs. Chancer still didn’t wa

    James tried to speak, his voice small and choked, but guilt had swallowed him whole. He couldn’t summon an explanation.“Stop standing there. Go find Callum!” Charlotte ran off before he could answer.James scrambled the other way, asking anyone in sight if they’d seen a few-month-old baby. They tore the hospital apart but found nothing.They regrouped, exhausted and helpless.“Call the police,” James said, his fingers trembling as he reached for his phone.Charlotte snatched it away. “No. You can’t call the cops.”“Why not?” he asked.“If this is a regular kidnapping for ransom, we can pay. If we call the police, the kidnapper might get angry and hurt Callum. We cannot risk that.” Her voice had a frantic edge.James understood her fear, but then he noticed the security camera in the corner. Charlotte looked utterly broken, the life drained from her face.“All right. Let’s check the footage,” James said. “The hospital has cameras. Don’t worry, Charlotte. Let’s find whoever’s i

    “James, watch the baby for a moment. I’m going to pay the bill.” Charlotte gently tucked their son back into the stroller, brushing a few strands of hair behind her ear.James nodded, his attention fixed entirely on the child. He didn’t notice the strange flicker in her eyes as she turned away.When the sound of her heels faded down the hall, he finally pulled out his phone and opened the latest updates about the charity auction, news articles filled with Sarah’s name and photos.Charlotte, hiding around the corner, saw it all. Whatever hesitation she’d had instantly hardened into resolve.She gave a subtle signal to the masked woman beside her.The woman nodded and began walking—oddly, not toward the quiet hallway, but straight into the crowd. She kept weaving closer to people, bumping shoulders on purpose.Nothing happened at first.Charlotte’s patience thinned. James was still staring at his phone, his hand resting casually on the stroller handle. As long as he stayed there,

    A few bodyguards stepped forward, forming a wall between Leon and Sarah. Forced back, Leon had no choice but to turn and leave the counseling room.He didn’t protest. Her reaction was perfectly reasonable, maybe even reassuring.As he walked through the hallway, he overheard passing conversations.“Miss Sanders is amazing. I heard she was on medical leave for months, but she came back and immediately published a groundbreaking paper.”“Isn’t that paper going to be submitted for the national competition?”“Of course. There aren’t many experts in psychology here who can match her work.”The chatter faded as Leon walked away, lost in thought.Back at the villa, he went straight to Sarah’s room and sat on the sofa, studying her face. Impatience flickered in his eyes.“I know you’re a brilliant psychologist,” he said evenly. “I’ve been having nightmares lately. I want you to treat me.”Sarah glanced at him lazily. “No.”“Do you remember what you once said about your session fees?”
