Chapter 502

Penulis: Summer Knowles
She didn’t even like this place. Yet, here she was—just trying to numb herself, even if only for a little while.

Back at the booth, a glass of water slid toward her. She looked up. It was James.

Her brows furrowed. “Why is it you?”

James could sense her irritation. “Why shouldn’t it be me?”

“You… you saw everything?”

“If you mean the way you were dancing just now, yeah. I saw all of it.” He chuckled softly.

Sarah pushed the water back toward him. “Drink it yourself, Mr. Chancer.”

“You won’t even accept a glass of water from me?”

She remained expressionless. “Of course not. What if someone sees it and twists it into me deliberately drinking your water? No thanks.”

“That won’t happen.”

“Still, I’d rather not. Mr. Chancer, please leave me alone. I just want some peace.” She had no interest in seeing James, let alone dealing with him.

Something flickered in James’s eyes—hurt. “Sasa… do you really hate me that much?”

Sarah glanced at him, her voice flat. “You’re just figuring th

    But Vivian had no other cards to play. She had to find a way to claw her way back, to regain some kind of leverage.Under the bar’s moody lights, her pale face looked almost fragile—heartbreakingly so. But what might have once been alluring now just felt empty to Leon. Meaningless.Maybe if he hadn’t seen how stunning Sarah looked at Vivian’s birthday banquet, he wouldn’t find everything so dull now.He gently pulled his hand out of her embrace and said coldly, “Miss Wilson, our partnership has always been about money. Never anything else. Throwing yourself at me isn’t your style. Don’t sell yourself short just to squeeze out a few more opportunities.”Vivian froze.She stared at him in disbelief.She was the golden girl of the Wilson family. Men had always chased her—she never had to take the first step.But now, for the sake of survival, she did. And he turned her down.In that moment, Vivian felt completely cut off from the world around her.It was humiliating.Throwing he

    Some time ago, Sarah had gone to see her.It was just over a month ago.Sarah had just returned from West Ridge when she went to visit Lucy at the psychiatric hospital. Surprisingly, their meeting wasn’t nearly as awkward as one might expect.“Lucy, you’ve been in here long enough. Don’t you want to get out?” Sarah asked.Lucy looked at her indifferently. “Sarah, are you here to laugh at me, or to remind me that even if my brother tries to get me out, you’ll stand in the way?”Sarah shook her head. “No. On the contrary, I came to let you out.”Lucy frowned. “Why?”“Charlotte’s out of jail and living her best life. Vivian and Zachary have completely fallen out. If you want revenge, now’s the time. Don’t you want it?” Sarah asked calmly.Lucy’s expression shifted. Of course she didn’t believe Sarah was just being kind. But if it was about taking down Vivian, she could believe it.“What do you want me to do?”Sarah smiled faintly. “Get discharged. Join the Chancer Group.”Now,

    She glanced at Mrs. Chancer, who quickly jumped in to back Charlotte up. “Charlotte’s right. It was all my idea to make you take the fall. If you need someone to blame, blame me!”Lucy looked at her mother, exhaustion in her eyes. “I do blame you. But the truth is, you're still my mom.” With that, she turned and walked away without looking back.Charlotte and Mrs. Chancer exchanged a glance, then headed to James’s office.Ever since the banquet incident, James had been treating Charlotte noticeably better. He even checked in on her from time to time. As soon as he saw her, he stood up. “Charlotte, Mom—what brings you two here?”But a second later, it clicked. They were probably here because of Lucy.The three of them sat down on the couch. Mrs. Chancer was the first to speak. “Has Lucy come to see you yet?”James looked at his mother. “Actually, there’s something I’ve been meaning to ask you. Lucy was assigned to the procurement department on her first day. Was that your decision

    Lucy never thought her own mother would side with Charlotte. Even now, she couldn’t bring herself to be completely cold toward her.She walked over and called softly, “Mom.”Mrs. Chancer's expression shifted slightly, and the smile on her face faded. “Lucy, how was your first day at work? Feeling overwhelmed already? I told you it’d be better to stay home. We can afford to support you. Charlotte already said that even if you don’t work, your share of the dividends is still yours. So why make things harder for yourself? You don’t have to lift a finger and still get paid—what’s the downside?”Lucy glanced at Charlotte. She was smiling—faintly, politely, as if nothing was wrong.After a pause, Charlotte chimed in, “Lucy, everything Mom said is true. I’ve always treated you like a real sister, and I won’t let you be mistreated. Things will be just like before—no, even better. I’ll only love you more.”She hesitated, then gave Mrs. Chancer a look. Mrs. Chancer continued for her.“Lucy

    Charlotte gave a knowing smile. “Mom, Lucy’s never been involved in the company’s affairs. Do you really think she can handle it? We’re not talking about something minor here. If you just gave her dividends, that’d be one thing—but if those shares were handed over directly and she made a mistake, the losses could be huge.”Noticing the flicker of doubt in Mrs. Chancer’s eyes, she pressed on. “Even in the future, when your grandson takes over as CEO, you can be sure he won’t shortchange Lucy.”Her words were loaded. She knew exactly what mattered most to Mrs. Chancer—her grandson’s future.“I understand,” Mrs. Chancer replied calmly. “I have my own way of making her back off. Lucy was never cut out for this.”—The next morning, Lucy reported to the company.The Chancer Corporation towered above her like always—sleek and imposing. Before she was committed, she used to visit often. But now, stepping inside felt foreign.She gave her name at the front desk, and an HR staffer led he

    Hearing the commotion downstairs, Charlotte came down the stairs with the baby in her arms. Spotting Lucy, she gave a strained smile.“You’re back, Lucy. That’s great. Our family’s finally whole again.”But the moment Charlotte reached the bottom step, she instantly drew all of Mrs. Chancer’s attention.Mrs. Chancer hurried over. “Didn’t the baby just fall asleep? Why are you carrying him down?”Charlotte gently handed the baby over. “He doesn’t sleep deeply. Wakes up every thirty minutes. He’s already been fed, though—no need to worry.”The two of them stood there, fussing over the baby—completely ignoring Lucy.Lucy’s eyes turned cold. She wasn’t surprised.Without saying a word, she turned to head upstairs. But Charlotte suddenly called out to her.Putting on the act of a concerned sister-in-law, she said, “Lucy, I’m really glad you’re out of the hospital. But you probably can’t go back to school now. Sigh… I’ll talk to your brother when he’s back and see if there’s anything
