Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 548

"Aunt, we should still ask my brother." Sarah insisted.

Aunt Amanda's displeasure showed. "Sasa, Melvin is my son. He'll listen to me. I discussed Sydney's internship with him months ago."

Months ago - before Sarah had returned.

Before she could react, Sydney had already directed the bodyguards to move her luggage to an empty room upstairs.

She acted like she owned the place, while Mia hid behind Sarah.

Only after Sydney had settled in did Aunt Amanda leave, satisfied.

"Sarah, is she really going to intern at Sanders Group?" Mia asked quietly.

Sarah paused. Why place Sydney at Sanders? She hated the idea of someone she distrusted infiltrating the company. Sanders Group was her parents' legacy - she had to protect it.

"Mia, go rest for a bit."

After Mia left, she called Melvin.

“Melvin, about Sydney..."

His voice sounded tired. "I know. Mother wants her to stay here for now."

"I see." Sarah hung up.

She couldn't understand her aunt's motives, or Melvin's thoughts.

When Melvin got home, Sydney was waiting with a bright smile. He wasn't pleased.

Sarah came downstairs with Mia as Sydney fussed over Melvin, taking his bag, bringing him water.

At dinner, she acted as if Sarah and Mia were invisible, sweetly calling "Melvin" over and over.

The snub hit like lightning. Of course she was comfortable. "I'm fine."

"Good. If you need anything, tell me or Sarah."

Sydney shot jealous looks between Sarah and Melvin.

Still hopeful, she pressed, "Melvin, please tell me where I'll be working."

"Everyone in Planning works their way up. I can’t put you in just because of our connection. The board would object."

Melvin's tone turned serious. "Sydney, no one will bother you - if you behave yourself."

The food sat untouched. Sarah looked at the table with distaste. "What kind of food is this?"

"Mine. Is there a problem?" Sydney asked.
