Semua Bab Rebirth In Divorce: My New Mr. Perfect: Bab 301 - Bab 310

Her once gentle demeanor had hardened into something sharp, like a defensive hedgehog with raised quills.The corners of her mouth curved slightly upward, reminiscent of Sarah's sharp personality from a few years ago.Her phone rang. Looking at the screen, she saw it was Zachary."Hello, Zachary.""Where are you?" his voice was demanding."I'm at the cafe," she replied softly.Zachary's voice grew more intense, "With whom?"She picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, and set it down firmly. "I'm alone now. But if you're asking about who I was meeting earlier, you should already know.""Sarah?" Zachary drew in a sharp breath.Vivian let out a laugh, "Zachary, what are you worried about? I didn't tell her anything. I just wished her luck in the competition.""You crossed a line." Zachary's tone was ice-cold.Vivian's face darkened as she listened to the dial tone. She stood up angrily and left.—Ten million?!Mrs. Chancer and Charlotte stared at James in shock. They couldn't

The crowd of men and women pressed closer together, and somehow the chaos of noise helped calm his mind.He had a booth to himself, with two empty bottles beside him, and he was still ordering more from the server.He lifted another bottle and drank deeply. Usually, drinking this much would make him drunk - it had happened last time. But tonight, despite wanting to lose himself, his mind stayed frustratingly clear.It wasn't until he finished his third bottle that his consciousness finally began to blur, everything around him starting to double in his vision.Just then, a woman slid into the seat beside him. Her lips were painted bright red, her makeup garish and overdone. "Hey handsome," she purred, "why are you drinking alone? I'm by myself too. Why don't we keep each other company?"The cheap perfume she wore was nauseating. He waved his hand, gesturing for her to leave.But she persisted, leaning closer to Zachary and pushing out her chest. In an affected voice, she cooed, "C

Vivian tensed up, avoiding his gaze. "How would I know where she was? After I dropped you off at the hotel, I went straight to bed.""That's not possible." Though Zachary couldn't remember everything clearly, certain impressions lingered.He remembered Vivian taking him home, and at the bar, he vaguely recalled her talking to the server about making a phone call.He studied Vivian carefully. "Tell me, what did you say to the server at the bar?""Nothing much. He just told me they were closing and that I needed to get you out of there. That's all," Vivian insisted.Zachary stopped pressing further. He knew he wouldn't get anything more out of Vivian.But something must have happened while he was drunk. He just didn't know what.Sarah had blocked him now, and he'd never felt this kind of panic before.He grabbed his car keys and rushed to Sarah's hotel, only to be stopped by staff at the entrance."Sir, this is now a competition zone. You can't enter.""I could come in just a f

James nodded and told his secretary, "Go with him to get it."Back home, Lucy nervously approached James.“James, how did it go?""It's handled." James headed upstairs irritably. He couldn't stand to look at Lucy right now.In his room, he massaged his temples, exhausted.Charlotte walked into the study and placed her hands on his shoulders, gently massaging them. "What's wrong, James?""Keep a closer eye on Lucy from now on. Don't let her cause any more trouble," James said, his voice hoarse.Charlotte nodded. "I will."When Zachary returned to East Coast, Vivian stayed behind.She remained to continue negotiations with Vista International, but more importantly, to keep watch over Sarah.On the twentieth day, Sarah became the first person to submit her thesis. When Linda heard about this, she felt distinctly uncomfortable."Sarah, you're really something, being the first to submit your thesis."There was an unwritten rule in the Decker Competition: the first submitted thes

From outside the bathroom stall, she heard foreign voices. "That foreign woman is incredible, getting first place...""All those judges were so nice to her. They obviously favor her. I wouldn't believe these high scores if I hadn't read her thesis myself - I'd think she bribed the judges.""Is her thesis really that good?""Yes, it's excellent. The concept is profound."Listening to these scattered conversations, Linda felt even more confused. She tore her scorecard into pieces and threw them in the trash.She couldn't stop thinking about Sarah receiving first place, all the applause and praise, and the way Eric had looked at her.Eric had placed second. Knowing his competitive nature, Sarah's first-place finish must have caught his interest.After composing herself, she returned to the auditorium.Sarah was surrounded by people, all wanting to see her scorecard.Linda noticed Eric standing at the edge of the crowd, staring intently at Sarah with deep interest.Suddenly anxio
