Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 393

“No!” Lucy cut her off abruptly. “The way someone expresses love may change, but their eyes never lie.”

She leaned back against the pillow, her face pale but resolute. “Mom, I won’t take the fall for her. You can give up on that idea.”

“You… you’re just so unreasonable!” Mrs. Chancer snapped, grabbing her bag and storming out in anger.

Lucy watched her mother’s retreating figure with a deep sorrow in her eyes. Her mother didn’t hesitate, not even a glance back. She left with such finality that Lucy felt a chill settle in her chest. She was exhausted, but for the first time, her anger wasn’t directed at Sarah.

Closing her eyes, she let the bitterness wash over her. Her mother had changed. Her brother had changed. Everyone had changed.

“What? A suicide attempt?” Sarah’s eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing the news about Lucy. It was almost impossible to imagine someone as cautious and calculating as Lucy trying to end her life.

Melvin spoke with his usual calm demeanor. “She was found in time by the staff at the psychiatric hospital and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment. The entire Chancer family is there now—except for Charlotte.”

Sarah nodded, understanding the situation. She knew better than anyone how obsessed Mrs. Chancer was with the idea of a grandson. It was likely she had pressured Lucy to take the blame for Charlotte.

“We need to move faster,” Sarah said firmly.

If they had previously thought there was still time to gather evidence, Lucy’s suicide attempt had undoubtedly pushed James and Charlotte to accelerate their plans.

Later that afternoon, Sarah received an unexpected package, sent anonymously.

Opening it, she found a car key along with a small note: “The car used to drive to the Luther Estate is parked in the Chancer family garage.”

It didn’t take much to figure out who sent it—Lucy. After her suicide attempt, it seemed she had finally given up.

Not long after, Sarah walked in. With an air of calm confidence, she ordered a coffee and took a seat across from Charlotte, a faint smile on her face.

The two sat in awkward silence, avoiding each other’s eyes. Finally, after a long pause, Sarah broke the tension.

“Miss Garnett, do you know why I asked you to meet today?” she asked.

Charlotte shook her head, her hands clenched tightly under the table. “No, I don’t. What’s this about?”

“Are you playing dumb, or are you really clueless?” Sarah’s tone was sharp, making no attempt to sugarcoat her words.

Charlotte hadn’t expected Sarah to be so blunt. She hesitated but eventually shook her head again. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
