Chapter 961

Author: Summer Knowles
There had never really been any competition. That plot of land had gone directly to Reynolds Corporation without controversy.

But the man on the phone showed no fear.

“Mr. Reynolds, even if I hadn’t named my price, wouldn’t you have figured it out anyway? You’re not that naïve. If you agree, the contract will be in your office today. Sign it, and Steven Miller will be dropped off downstairs.”

“…Fine.”

Sarah knocked gently on Scarlett’s door. No response. She let herself in.

Scarlett sat on the edge of the bed, just waking, staring blankly out the window. The room light was on, but it didn’t seem to matter.

Sarah didn’t switch it off. Instead, she walked over and placed a bowl of warm oatmeal porridge on the nightstand. Her voice was soft.

“Scarlett, try to eat something.”

Scarlett turned her head slowly, her eyes vacant and confused.

Ever since they’d rescued her from the bar, she hadn’t said a word. Awake, she would just sit and stare—out the window, into nothing. Sarah ha

I think in this story in the end the villain like Leon and Vivian still win. In that case, what’s the point of having the ML and FL.

    Vivian had heard of Professor Ark’s reputation. A flicker of embarrassment crossed her face, but the doctor didn’t seem to notice. She just nodded and muttered, “Got it. I’ll figure something out. For now, just keep going with the conservative treatment.”She turned back and sat by the old man’s bedside, quiet and still.The doctor didn’t say anything more. He simply stepped out and closed the door behind him.Later that day, the investigator assigned to track Vivian reported her movements back to Zachary.Zachary gave a short nod. “And the surveillance footage—any progress?”The detective shook his head. “Nothing yet.”Zachary’s expression darkened. After a moment of silence, he said, “Put more people on it. I don’t care if you have to flip East Coast inside out—find something.”The detective was relentless by nature and immediately agreed. With two of the city’s biggest corporations involved, even the police weren’t taking any chances.Following a lead, they quickly found the

    The other board members exchanged glances before finally speaking up in agreement with Leon’s final suggestion.Back in her office, Vivian was still fuming. She flung the proposal she had spent days working on straight into the trash and snapped, “Bunch of stubborn old fossils.”Leon watched her for a moment, frowning thoughtfully. “Something’s off. I expected resistance, sure—but that was beyond predictable opposition. It felt coordinated.”Vivian rubbed her temples and sank into the sofa, exhausted. “I’ll have someone look into it discreetly. But what do we do now? We can’t keep locking horns like this forever.”Leon leaned against the doorframe with his arms crossed, a glint of sarcasm in his eyes. “You’re usually full of ideas. If you’d put half the ruthlessness into this as you did with Scarlett and Sarah, we wouldn’t be in this mess.”Vivian’s face instantly turned cold, the anger building behind her tightly pressed lips. But she swallowed it down, remembering how desperate

    Scarlett seemed to calm down at his words. She looked at Steven cautiously and asked in a soft voice, “Will you let Steven go?”“I will.”That was all it took—Scarlett broke down in sobs. The sound of her crying shattered Steven. His heart just... caved in.Out in the hallway, hearing them both cry, Sarah couldn’t take it anymore. She turned away from the door and walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water.Zachary followed. “You’re not gonna offer me one too?”Sarah didn’t even look at him. “Letting you and Steven in was already generous. Don’t forget what happened before. I haven’t.”Zachary’s expression darkened. He knew she meant every word.“How long is he staying? Scarlett needs rest. If he doesn’t come out soon, I’m kicking him out,” she said, her tone growing colder by the second.“He won’t last much longer,” Zachary replied after checking the time. “He needs to get to the hospital soon anyway.”Just then, there was a heavy thud from inside the room.Sarah and Zach

    Steven's dry lips moved slightly—just enough for a crack to split open, blood blooming red against the pale skin. His lips parted.“She’s waiting for me.”He exhaled shakily and looked up at Sarah with pleading eyes. “Please… let me go in. Let me see her.”Sarah hesitated. Her expression was pained, but in the end, she nodded.She, too, wanted to know—was Scarlett truly waiting for Steven?Steven slowly pushed the door open and stepped inside. Zachary and Sarah didn’t follow—they stood silently outside, watching from the hallway.Through the narrow gap in the door, Sarah observed the room closely. She was prepared to rush in at the first sign Scarlett was triggered.But Steven didn’t notice her vigilance.His eyes were filled with only one person—Scarlett.Every step sent shocks of pain up his body, but he pushed through, each movement deliberate and cautious. He let out a low groan, but Scarlett didn’t react.He knelt in front of her, the pain almost unbearable.“Scarlett,”

    His voice cracked. He couldn’t say the rest. Scarlett was lying in that room, lifeless and broken. And he—he had been forced to watch it all unfold through a cold, impersonal screen.Bound. Helpless. Useless.The pain of it was worse than anything they’d done to his body.Sarah’s expression turned colder. “Then where have you been the last few days?”Zachary stepped in.“He was kidnapped. By someone with a grudge—Leon Spencer. Just like I guessed.”He nudged Steven forward a little. “If you don’t believe us, look at his injuries. He was just rescued. He came straight here.”After a long moment, Sarah relented.“…You can look. But only through the door.”Steven staggered to the cracked-open door and leaned forward to peer in. Through the gap, he saw Scarlett.She was asleep, but her face wasn’t peaceful. Her bare arm showed a deep bite mark, hastily treated but still visible.His heart twisted.How did it come to this?Why hadn’t he listened?If he hadn’t insisted on going

    At Reynolds CorporationZachary signed his name at the bottom of a document.It was a land transfer agreement.The man who had delivered it looked unremarkable—so plain he could vanish in a crowd. Yet Zachary knew he had seen this man before. At the celebration party on Pine Mist Island.He was one of Leon’s men. Julian Spencer.“All done,” Zachary said coldly. “Where is Steven?”Julian smiled, satisfied, and picked up the signed agreement.“Mr. Reynolds, as soon as I leave this building, he’ll be waiting for you downstairs.”Without further words, Julian turned and left.“You can head down now too,” he added.Zachary went straight to the lobby.A van screeched to a halt outside the revolving doors. The side door slid open.A body was shoved out.He was covered in blood, his face barely recognizable through the injuries.Zachary froze for a split second, then rushed forward.“Steven?!”He had mentally prepared himself for the worst, but nothing could’ve prepared him for
