Semua Bab Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect: Bab 141 - Bab 150

At the Chancer residence.Lucy stormed toward the study, her frustration boiling over after the events at school. She intended to tell James everything.As she approached the door, she heard him on the phone. The mention of Sarah’s name made her pause, and she pressed her ear to the door.“Are you free this weekend? Grandpa hasn’t been eating well, and he really wants to see you. Could you come keep him company?”After a brief pause, his tone softened. “Alright, Sarah. Should I come pick you up?”Sarah?!Lucy’s face contorted with anger. How could James still be in contact with that woman?That conniving woman! Why was her brother still speaking to her? Wasn’t Sarah the person he claimed to hate the most? Yet his tone on the phone was unusually gentle—something Lucy had never heard him use with anyone else.Downstairs, Charlotte was preparing a fruit platter. Lucy quickly descended the stairs, deliberately making her movements heavy and grabbing two glasses of water, her expres

This was an anonymous multimedia message. He didn't know who sent the photo or what their intentions were.The image completely disrupted Zachary’s composure. He'd never been so unsettled by anything before. Though he maintained his outward calm, his mind was in chaos.He dialed the number. After two rings, someone picked up, speaking through laughter, "Hello? Sarah can't come to the phone right now, she's hugging my brother... Oh, sorry, I've said too much. Why don't you call back later?""Click..."After hanging up, Lucy's eyes crinkled with satisfaction. She deleted the call record and put the phone back exactly where it had been.The whole thing had happened silently, as if it never occurred.She looked over at the pair - Sarah and James were still opening the pastry box.The sweet aroma from the freshly baked goods wafted through the air, seeping into her skin. Sarah carefully lifted out the delicate pastries.After disposing of the wrapping, only the gentle sweetness rema

Hearing this, Zachary visibly relaxed, putting his phone back in his pocket. "She probably thinks there's something between us and wanted to cause trouble.""She really has too much free time, can't stand seeing me close to anyone. Whenever I get close to someone, she assumes I have ulterior motives. Don't worry about it - she's got it wrong." Sarah lowered her eyes, her lashes fluttering.She kept walking, but Zachary suddenly moved closer, asking, "Is she wrong?"His warm breath brushed against her forehead, making her face flush red. "Yes, she's wrong!"She avoided looking at him and walked faster.Zachary watched her flustered retreat with amusement.He'd misunderstood that photo, letting emotions cloud his judgment.A simple analysis would have shown that Sarah would never get close to James - she despised him completely.He chuckled softly and caught up with her.The garden was full of mosquitoes, and Sarah was already covered in bites after just a short while."Let's h

"You're the stupid one! Your family is made up of idiots! Lucy, how dare you talk to me like that?"Lucy was stunned. She'd seen Mia acting like an idiot, hiding timidly behind Sarah last time."You, last time you were...""Last time what?" Sarah pushed open the door and stepped in front of Mia, blocking Lucy's view.Lucy stumbled back in shock, pointing at Mia. "This isn't right! She was clearly mentally ill before. I saw it! Or was it all an act?""Lucy, you never learn, do you? Mia's situation is none of your business. Next time, think about whether your family can afford the consequences before you act," Sarah said coldly.She'd thought the competition incident would have taught Lucy a lesson, but apparently being detained hadn't cleared her head.Zachary wasn't someone who turned the other cheek, and Mia wasn't just any student she could bully. Lucy had miscalculated again.Lucy wasn't used to being talked to this way. "Sarah, what are you so proud of? You only got close t

Zachary’s cold gaze barely flickered. “This has nothing to do with you.”“Mr. Reynolds, I’m only trying to help,” Lucy said, forcing a smile despite her displeasure.“No need,” he replied, his steps never faltering.Watching his retreating figure, Lucy stomped her foot in frustration. Still unwilling to give up, she caught up with him again. “Mr. Reynolds, your birthday is tomorrow. Can I have an invitation?” She batted her eyelashes, trying to appear innocent.Zachary didn’t even glance at her, continuing toward the psychology office without a word.Lucy froze, her gaze fixed on his back. She realized he wasn’t here for Mia; he was heading for Sarah. The humiliation stung—she had lowered herself to ask for an invitation, and Zachary hadn’t even given her the courtesy of a response.Her face darkened with fury. This was all Sarah’s fault. If not for her, none of this would be happening. Their family would still have their rightful place, with invitations to every important event.
