After saying that, she went upstairs with the nanny.Charlotte’s chest tightened painfully. She pressed a hand to her heart and looked at James, but his cold, distant gaze only deepened her agony.Standing beside him, Lucy’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Charlotte, you really do look pitiful right now. I almost feel sorry for you but honestly, you brought this on yourself.”James shot her a glance. “That’s enough. Go back to your room.”Hearing her brother’s tone, Lucy didn’t dare say another word. She glared at Charlotte before storming off upstairs.Now, only James and Charlotte were left in the living room. Charlotte hurried to him, grabbing his arm. “James, I’m sorry. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have treated Callum that way. I just wanted you to come back home… to us.”Tears streamed down her face, her voice trembling as she tried to win back his heart.But no matter how much she cried, James remained unmoved, his eyes cold and unreadable.Finally, Charlotte’s strength

Mia skipped cheerfully toward the pantry, leaving only Mandy and Zachary in the office.Mandy placed the small thermos she’d been holding on his desk, her voice soft and uncertain. “Mr. Reynolds, I made some soup. Would you like to try it?”She glanced timidly at the man behind the desk. His features were sharp, his eyes dark and distant, carrying a kind of cold solitude that made her heart pound.She had known about him long before this day. She had seen his name in magazines, his photos in business headlines, and had even fantasized about what it might be like to stand in front of him.Now that she finally was, so close she could see every detail of his face, her pulse raced uncontrollably. If she could just get closer to him… maybe everything would change.She took another hesitant step forward. “Mr. Reynolds, I…”“I don’t want it. Thank you.”Zachary finally lifted his gaze from the computer. The moment his eyes met hers, Mandy froze. His stare was so cold it felt like ice s

Leon slammed his silverwares onto the table with a loud clack. The sudden noise made Sarah flinch.“I’m not finished eating,” he said coldly.Sarah frowned. “Then keep eating.”“Has no one ever taught you table manners?” His tone grew sharper. “It’s rude to leave the table before everyone’s done.”The more hostile he became, the less patience Sarah had. She didn’t even want to argue anymore. With a quiet sigh, she sat back down at the table.Leon’s eyes darkened with disappointment. If she were truly Sarah, she would’ve argued with him, not silently obeyed.“Why are you listening to me?” he asked bitterly.Sarah rolled her eyes. “What the hell is with you?”“She’d never curse like that,” Leon said, his voice icy.Sarah didn’t even bother replying this time. She just stared blankly at the table, her expression calm but distant.Seeing her like that, Leon lost all interest. He picked up his utensils, sliced into his steak, and forced down a few bites before his appetite vanishe

Aside from the damp, musty smell, there was also the sharp scent of something burning.Vivian’s expression flickered. She hastily kicked over the metal basin at her feet, trying to hide it but it was too late. Inside, charred fragments of photographs still smoldered.Leon’s eyes lowered. Julian immediately understood, stepped forward, and picked up one of the half-burned photos to hand to him.“Sir.”Leon took it from him. The photo was of Zachary Reynolds, half of the body burned away, leaving only his face visible.He dropped it lightly into the trash. “The DNA report is back. The woman in my villa is Mandy Revell, not Sarah.”Vivian frowned deeply, her voice edged with disbelief. “That’s impossible. Did I grab the wrong person that day? Or was she switched afterward?”Leon’s tone hardened. “You’re sure no one else had contact with her after you took her away?”Vivian hesitated, then nodded before shaking her head. “I can’t be sure. After we moved her out of the apartment bui

She had thought Henry had given up on his shares in Wilson Corp but behind everyone’s back, he had been scheming this entire time.“So you really didn’t know,” Leon said with a mocking laugh.“How could I have known?” Vivian snapped, her anger rising. “That dear uncle of mine clearly thinks he can take me down just because Grandfather’s lying in a hospital bed. He actually believes he can win now?”Leon’s eyes narrowed as he recalled a recent news report. “Didn’t they say Dr. Seth came to East Coast recently? I heard the old Mr. Wilson has started showing signs of consciousness. Apparently, the special medication he brought works wonders.”At the mention of it, Vivian’s face darkened as memories of that day flashed through her mind.“I begged Zachary,” she said quietly, her voice flat and tired. “He turned me down. He’ll never agree to help me.”Leon wasn’t interested in her personal grievances. All he cared about was the upcoming business gala.He already knew from Julian’s rep

Zachary sat calmly on the sofa while Mia wandered around the boutique, her eyes sparkling as she admired the gowns displayed behind the glass cases.Mandy, on the other hand, felt completely out of place.Although both Vivian and Zachary had given her extensive training in etiquette and poise, shaping her into someone almost indistinguishable from Sarah Sanders, that transformation itself made her feel even more unnatural like she was performing a role that didn’t belong to her.Zachary pointed toward her and said to the manager, “Get her a gown.”The manager immediately gestured politely. “Miss Sanders, this way, please. You can take a look at the styles first, and I’ll recommend a few options for you.”At the mention of the name, Mandy glanced at Zachary. He gave her a subtle nod, and she understood immediately that the employees here were used to seeing Sarah Sanders, not Mandy Revell. Recognizing her under that name was only natural.Feeling awkward, she followed the manager
