Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 336

Mrs. Chancer looked at Scarlett in shock, then at her daughter, who appeared terrified. She quickly stepped in front of Lucy to shield her.

“Sarah! She’s your sister-in-law! How could you even think about calling the police? You might not care about the Chancer’s reputation, but I do!”

Just then, the door opened. James entered the room, looking annoyed.

“What’s going on now?” he asked impatiently.

Lindsey’s expression darkened as she turned to him. “James, some brother you are! Your sister pushed your wife into the river, and all you can say is that?”

James glanced at Sarah, then at Lucy.

“Lucy, what happened?”

Lucy’s eyes filled with tears as she protested, “No, James! She’s accusing me unfairly. I didn’t push her! She fell in on her own, and I tried to save her. That’s how I got scratched!”

Mrs. Chancer immediately chimed in to support Lucy. “James, I told you from the beginning not to marry her. Look at what’s happening now—she’s teaming up with outsiders to bully Lucy! Lucy is your sister after all!”

James hesitated. “Sarah, she is my sister, after all…”

He didn’t need to finish his sentence. The moment he spoke, Sarah felt her resolve waver. The tension in her shoulders loosened the moment he entered the room.

“I know. She’s your sister,” Sarah replied softly. Because Lucy was his sister, Sarah knew she was expected to be understanding and not make a big deal out of it.

Scarlett, frustrated and furious, stormed out. “I knew it! It’s always like this!”

Sarah lay back down on the bed. James muttered something about having to leave and left soon after. Mrs. Chancer and Lucy, having achieved their goal of mocking Sarah, left with smug expressions.

The light reflecting off the water shone into Sarah’s eyes.

She felt a sharp pain and an overwhelming sense of suffocation that left her unable to struggle.

Suddenly, there was a loud crash near her ears. Someone dove toward her, grabbing her wrist tightly and pulling her toward the surface.

When they came to arrest her, James tried to intervene, but no one paid him any attention.

Sarah watched it all with a cold expression, her mind flooded with memories of two years ago—when she’d been pushed in the hospital and was forced to forgive Lucy because of James.

“James, do you remember? This has happened before. Back then, I let it go because of you. This time, I won’t.”

Without another glance at James, Sarah shifted her focus entirely to Zachary. Her gaze lingered on his watch for a long time, realization dawning on her.

So, it was Zachary who had saved her back then.

“Zachary,” she said suddenly, “I’d like to invite you to my birthday party.”

Zachary’s eyes lit up with surprise and delight. “I’ll be there.”

Meanwhile, Lucy sat in the detention cell, paralyzed with fear. Her hands trembled uncontrollably as panic set in. This wasn’t her first time in a holding cell—she’d been here twice before—but this time, the fear was overwhelming.
