Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect Chapter 58
"Mr. Reynolds, such words might scare me away. Then you'd be left without a date tonight," Sarah replied with a light smile, though her tone carried a hint of coolness.Her heart had fluttered at his words several times now, but she understood the vast difference between them.The car stopped at the hotel entrance. Sarah took Zachary's arm as they entered the grand ballroom, her heels clicking elegantly on the marble floor. The space was filled with wine displays, dessert tables, clusters of guests, and circulating waiters.Long tables lined both sides of the hall, laden with exquisite hors d'oeuvres and various wines, with champagne glasses arranged in pyramids at the ends.Women in designer gowns gathered in conversation while men in bespoke suits discussed business.Luxury permeated everything - only the elite attended Reynolds family events.Mia spotted them first, running over excitedly. “Zac! Sarah, you're here!"The ballroom fell quiet as all eyes turned to them. No one

"Look how smug that bitch is!" Lucy seethed.Charlotte quickly masked her earlier gaze with a polite smile. "Of course she's pleased, she's Zachary's date. Every young lady here wishes they were in her place."She wasn't the only one hiding jealousy; surely other women were silently cursing Sarah too.Lucy grew more furious. Why did Sarah get to stand beside Zachary? Why not her?Charlotte scanned the hall, noticing Old Mr. Reynolds wasn't present. Glancing at the second floor, she understood why.Her eyes glinted - surely Old Mr. Reynolds wouldn't accept a divorced woman.With that thought, Charlotte quickly left the Chancers' side.Mia excitedly chatted with Sarah, "You look stunning, even more beautiful than usual! I've never seen anyone wear evening wear so elegantly."Sarah admired Mia's designer ball gown, a custom piece that fit her perfectly. "You look lovely too, Mia.""Really? My brother picked it. I told him he had terrible taste," Mia stuck out her tongue.Upstair

Sarah relaxed as Mia diverted her grandfather's scrutinizing gaze. Mia's timing couldn't have been better.Being Zachary's date had certainly drawn attention, including from his family.Her divorced status wasn't a secret - she knew Old Mr. Reynolds must have heard the gossip."Let's join the others," he said.By the spiral staircase, Charlotte frowned. She'd deliberately started those rumors for Old Mr. Reynolds to hear.But unexpectedly, he hadn't reacted negatively!Her eyes found James through the crowd. He was staring, not at her, but at Sarah!Sarah's elegant figure in her evening gown was like a painting come to life. Even James couldn't help staring. Charlotte clenched her fists in fury - this was intolerable!Being the host, Zachary couldn't stay with Sarah all evening. After ensuring she was settled, his grandfather called him away, asking Mia to keep Sarah company.Sarah had never enjoyed such events, knowing she'd be scrutinized as Zachary's date.Once Zachary lef

Lucy approached with a smirk. "Oh dear, what a mess! I brought a spare dress - we look about the same size. Why don't you borrow it?"She saw an opportunity to get closer to the Reynolds heiress.But Mia shook her head. "No need. I have other dresses here."She grabbed her skirt and Sarah's hand. "Come with me, Sarah."She wouldn't leave Sarah vulnerable to bullying, especially after promising her brother.Just then, a waiter approached. "Miss Sanders, Master Zachary requests your presence."Hearing this, Mia released Sarah's hand. "Go ahead to my brother. I'll change quickly and find you. Don't let anyone bother you."She shot Lucy a fierce glare before hurrying upstairs.Sarah smiled and told the waiter, "Lead the way," ignoring Charlotte and Lucy completely.After she left, Lucy seethed. "What's so special about her? Zachary protects her constantly! The moment there's trouble, he summons her!""It wasn't Zachary," Charlotte said coldly, her eyes glinting.Lucy looked at h

Sickened by his words, Sarah's face went pale, her eyes blazing. "I'm warning you! Touch me and you'll regret it!""Stop fighting! We're alone in this garden, and I locked the door. Where do you think you'll go?" He yanked her arm, trying to pull her close, his aged, greasy face flushed with excitement as he reached for her shoulder.Sarah kicked him hard, earning a howl of pain as he doubled over clutching himself. "You'll pay for this!"But he maintained his iron grip on her wrist, struggling to stand despite the pain.Sarah fought desperately, her delicate wrist reddening in his vice-like grip.Desperate, she grabbed her dress hem, ready to tear it. To hell with appearances.The man recovered, raising his hand to slap her, but his arm suddenly stopped mid-air."Who dares interrupt—" His words died in his throat when he saw who it was.Seeing Zachary, Sarah's eyes welled up, her throat tightening."Let her go!" The icy command made the man release Sarah's wrist instantly.S

Something felt off about the whole incident - first Mia's dress gets stained, then she's lured out here.Without her having to explain, Zachary had already ordered security to check the cameras."I know. Don't worry, I'll find who's responsible. Let's get you inside - it's cold out here."Sarah felt warmed by his jacket, still holding his body heat. He always appeared when she needed him most, like a ray of light in darkness. She unconsciously moved closer to him.Her heart was still racing, the terrifying incident now transformed into anger, mixed with the warmth of Zachary's protection.She nodded, walking beside him. "Thank you. I owe you another favor."Zachary's eyes remained cold, still angry about the incident. Her sincere gratitude made him uncomfortable. "You're my guest. Your safety is my responsibility. This isn't about favors."When they returned to the ballroom, no one knew what had happened in the garden, except for two pairs of anxious eyes watching them.Lucy ha

Zachary's face darkened. "Who did this waiter interact with during the party?""He was serving drinks, sir. He probably contacted most guests.""No need to search further. I know who did it."A familiar voice made Sarah and Zachary turn around as Steven approached."Where were you earlier?" Sarah asked curiously."If I hadn't been late, I wouldn't have caught this." Steven held up his phone.He showed them a photo.It captured a man in the garden with a woman holding champagne, speaking to him.The man was Sarah's attacker, and the woman was Lucy!Sarah's eyes sharpened. Lucy had harassed her repeatedly, and now stooped to this level.Steven swiped to another photo, scoffing: "She’s not the only one involved.”The photo showed the earlier scene with Mia protecting Sarah. Behind them, a waiter carrying a tray of drinks was stumbling - someone's foot had deliberately tripped him.That's why the tray tipped, spilling wine on Mia's dress.The owner of that foot was now chattin

"Oh my!" Mia exclaimed. "How clumsy of you, Charlotte. You should have moved when I offered you a drink. Now everyone will think I did it on purpose!""It's fine, Miss Reynolds. My fault entirely." Charlotte's face was strained.A crowd had gathered, just as they had when Mia's dress was ruined earlier.Mia feigned sympathy. "How unlucky - the same thing happened to my dress earlier! Fortunately, I have several spare dresses upstairs. Let me lend you one?"Before Charlotte could answer, Lucy jumped in. "Yes, that would be wonderful! Thank you."She hoped this might help them get closer to Zachary.Charlotte, unaware of Lucy's motives, had no choice - her stained dress was unwearable. She nodded politely. "Thank you, Miss Reynolds."Upstairs, Mia laid out several gowns on the bed. "Take your pick."Charlotte’s eyes flickered with envy. She recognized many of these gowns as exclusive haute couture pieces from brands that weren’t available to just anyone. Even having money wasn’t

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

This single subtle gesture revealed her inner feelings. Without needing to look further, Sarah immediately understood. Through the monitor, she could see that the photograph was a selfie of a man.Beyond heartbreak, she couldn't think of any other explanation.The emotion release room had been open for nearly a week. During this time, she had observed many clients. Those who came to release their emotions fell into several categories: heartbreak, work conflicts, friendship issues, personal disputes, or being stuck at a crossroads in life, unable to make the right choice.They came here to vent their emotions, and often only after destroying everything could they finally see what they truly wanted in their hearts.This was Sarah's original purpose in creating the emotion release room. But more importantly, this wasn't just a simple place to vent emotions—it offered clients more valuable services, such as guidance from top psychological counselors to help them quickly resolve their tr

"Enough. I've heard too many words like these. It's all for my own good, it's all to protect me—using these noble-sounding excuses to make me believe him, to understand him. Well then, why don't you who want me to believe him try to convince him to believe in me? Are you all underestimating me, or overestimating Vivian? I don't want to hear this kind of talk anymore. Everything he suffered today was his own choice."In this moment, Sarah's coldness fully erupted. She was no longer indifferent or dismissive, because she simply couldn't ignore the pain in her heart.Mia hadn't expected Sarah to say such things today. She held Sarah's hand sympathetically. "Sarah, I'm sorry. It's because I wasn't thinking. I shouldn't have said those things that upset you."When emotions reach their breaking point, they tend to explode, but often calm down shortly after the outburst.Sarah had regained her composure. She shook her head with a bitter smile. "This isn't your fault. Since the doctor is he
