Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 680

Melvin's expression grew unusually serious, a rare sight for him. It was clear he was holding back his anger.

“Sasa,” he said, his voice low, “I don’t think you should go this time either. Even if you want to go back… I’m afraid there are people who don’t want you to.”

Sarah’s face paled slightly. “Melvin, are you talking about…” She didn’t finish the sentence — she didn’t want to say that person’s name in front of him.

But how could Melvin not know who she meant? His face became even more stern.

“Sasa, honestly, neither of us needs to say the name out loud — we both know exactly who we’re talking about. I’ve told you before, I’ll always protect you. No matter who tries to hurt you, I’ll stand by you.”

His eyes were sharp. His voice was calm but full of strength.

“And you’ve done nothing wrong,” Melvin continued. “Some people are just too greedy. That’s why they keep setting traps, again and again, willing to do anything to get what they want. But I’m not that kind of person. I’ll never stoop that low.”

Of course, Sarah understood exactly what he meant. But the last thing she wanted was for Melvin to fall out completely with his mother because of her. He could oppose his mother for any reason, but not because of her.

She set down her utensils, reached out, and grabbed Melvin’s arm.

“Melvin, Uncle Shawn has always treated me well. It’s his birthday. I really want to go. And I know he’s hoping you’ll go too. I don’t want him to be disappointed.”

She shook his arm back and forth like a little girl pleading.

“Come with me, okay?”

Melvin looked at her big, round eyes — like a kitten begging for attention — and was reminded of how she used to act when she was little, always running to him, pouting or acting cute just to get a new bag or some little thing she wanted.

He sighed and gave in.

“Alright, let’s go together.”

Sarah instantly broke into a bright smile. She happily ladled him another bowl of soup.

She already knew Sarah was back. Naturally, that also meant Zachary had returned with her. But what she didn’t understand was — why was he still hiding? What exactly was he waiting for?

Steven sat steadily in his chair, completely calm, no expression on his face. He was usually the playful, easygoing type, but right now, sitting like this, he carried a bit of Zachary’s quiet authority.

He finally spoke, his voice calm and collected.

“Miss Wilson, I’m actually very curious. How exactly did you get your hands on our factory’s parts? And how did you manage to send them for inspection without anyone knowing? Normally, all inspections are handled by Vista International’s internal staff. The previous reports had no issues at all. But now, suddenly, there’s a problem only when it’s in your hands?”

Vivian threw the inspection report onto the table with a loud slap, her voice cold as ice.

“So what are you trying to say, Mr. Miller? That I planted this? I find it more curious that I’ve heard Zachary is already back in East Coast. Yet he hasn’t shown himself. Why is that?”

Steven suddenly let out a low laugh.

“Miss Wilson, you must be joking. Zachary’s your fiancé — by right, he’s much closer to you than to me. If he didn’t tell you he was back, why would he tell me?”
