Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 439

Sarah’s mind raced as she recalled every detail.

Even when Mrs. Mendes demanded two hundred thousand dollars, she had subtly wiped away her tears, her fingers nervously clutching the fabric of her sleeve.

Every little movement felt off. This wasn’t the grief of a mother who had just lost her child—it felt more like she was putting on a performance, as if she had come only for the money.

But was it really just about the money?

From what Tina had told her, her mother had loved her deeply. And Tina had loved her mother just as much.

Sarah looked back at the suicide note, a strange unease creeping over her. The emotions in the first half were completely different from those in the second.

It was almost as if… they weren’t written on the same day.

Wait.

Not written on the same day?

A sudden thought struck her.

What if the second half wasn’t written by Tina at all?

Just as the idea took hold, her phone rang.

Professor Wells’ urgent voice came through. “Sarah, come to the dean’s office now.”

This was serious. The scandal had already been brewing for a full day. If the university dean was only calling her in now, that meant they still trusted her.

Without hesitation, Sarah headed straight for the office.

It had to be about Tina.

Before she could enter, Professor Wells stopped her at the door.

“You’re not scared, are you?” he asked, his concern evident.

Sarah looked at him gratefully. “I’m fine, Professor Wells.”

Her voice was steady, but her face was a little pale.

She couldn’t deny it—this situation had shaken her.

She had jumped from the twentieth floor. Her body had been completely shattered—not a single bone intact.

It was a gruesome way to die.

Professor Wells frowned in thought. "Right now, Tina’s mother is pinning all the blame on you. And more importantly, the public believes that your 'three days' exercise is what pushed her to end her life."

"The most pressing issue," Dean Larson added, "is that we need to stop the public outrage before it spirals further. This is damaging the university’s reputation."

He turned to Sarah. "Miss Sanders, what do you think?"

Sarah’s voice was steady. "At the end of the day, she’s asking for two hundred thousand dollars. But I won’t pay her. Because what I want is the truth. Tina’s death wasn’t simple. It wasn’t just an accident."

"Not an accident?" Professor Wells looked at her in confusion.

Sarah unfolded Tina’s suicide note and placed it on the desk.

"Look at this."

She used her hand to block the middle of the page, dividing the first and second halves of the note.
