Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 378

Zachary's gaze remained firm, but he said nothing more.

Vivian couldn't accept his coldness. Her expression started to crack, her voice turning shrill. "Why won't you answer my question? Is it because of Sarah? Are you not helping me just to give the Sanders a chance? Zachary, you're such a disappointment. For Sarah's sake, you're willing to jeopardize the partnership between our families?"

Zachary remained silent, focusing intently on the road ahead.

Back home, Sarah kept thinking about Mr. Anderson's revelation at the auction. What puzzled her was, if what Mr. Anderson said was true, why hadn't any news about Harbor Crescent leaked yet?

Not even the smallest rumor had surfaced.

Everyone believed Crystal Bay was connected to the new shipping route.

So how could she be sure Mr. Anderson's information was reliable?

“Melvin, which do you think it is - Crystal Bay or Harbor Crescent?" she suddenly asked.

Melvin thought for a moment. "Hard to say. My sources point to Crystal Bay - it's surrounded by water and sits at a crossroads of shipping lanes. However, Harbor Crescent is indeed near the bridge. If Mr. Anderson wanted to deceive us, he wouldn't go to such lengths."

After all, since Mr. Anderson wanted to sell Crystal Bay, keeping this information secret would have driven up the price. By revealing it, he'd effectively lowered Crystal Bay's peak value.

For Mr. Anderson, this would be a losing proposition.

"So you think he's telling the truth?" Sarah asked again.

"Help me!" Charlotte cut straight to the point, desperate enough to risk making this call.

"What happened?" A note of concern crept into Vivian's voice.

Charlotte recounted every detail of that evening's events. "That witch must have known all along. She's been gathering evidence to destroy me - she kept making threats all evening."

"You idiot!" Vivian snapped through the phone. "If you hadn't confronted her tonight, would she have said any of this to you?"

Vivian paused before continuing, ”I’ve told you repeatedly - Lucy's already in custody, quietly playing her part as your scapegoat. You should have left it at that. Why did you have to go antagonize Sarah after the gala? If you're hell-bent on self-destruction, don't come crying to me for help."
