Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 682

Zachary still didn’t respond.

Vivian straightened up and slowly walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. Her voice was calm, but every word was filled with accusation.

“Zachary, let’s not pretend. We both know perfectly well — while you were gone, Sarah disappeared too. Are you really expecting me to believe that the two of you weren’t together?”

She paused, her eyes fixed on the distant view outside.

“I always thought that since you agreed to get engaged to me, you’d take responsibility. I believed you wouldn’t be out there tangled up with her. Was I wrong?”

Zachary let out a soft, mocking laugh.

“You believed.” His voice was low and cold. “But just because you believe something… does that automatically make it true?”

Vivian froze — then suddenly let out a loud, crazed laugh, like she had completely lost control.

She turned around, her eyes burning as she pointed at him.

“Then tell me! Tell me whether it’s true or not! Where exactly did you go? Who were you with?”

She took a deep breath, her emotions on the verge of breaking apart.

“I’ve put up with this for too long. During the half month you disappeared, I counted the days on my fingers, wondering every single day why you left, where you went, and what you were doing.”

Zachary looked at her coldly, his words sharp and merciless.

“Vivian, you’re too arrogant.”

Arrogant enough to think you could control everything. Arrogant enough to think you could plan everything out. But in the end… she controlled nothing.

He raised his eyes, his stare full of sarcasm.

“Our engagement is in two weeks. What exactly are you so afraid of?”

Vivian tried hard to calm herself down. She took a deep breath.

“Zachary… where did you go?”

“Just handled some business,” he replied flatly.

“What kind of business would take you away for two weeks… and still be something you couldn’t tell me about?” Vivian’s eyes darkened, watching him closely.

Zachary casually picked up his coffee from the desk and took a slow sip.

Vivian shrugged lightly, her face calm.

“I never wanted to destroy Reynolds Corporation. I just wanted to force you to show up.”

She wasn’t even pretending anymore.

Zachary closed his eyes for a moment, then reopened them, rubbing his forehead tiredly.

“Go home, Vivian. I still have things to do.”

Seeing that he had no intention of talking further, Vivian decided not to cling on anymore today.

At 6 p.m., as the last bit of sunlight disappeared from the sky, Melvin drove Sarah back to the old Sanders family home.

Today was Uncle Shawn’s birthday. The Sanders family home was full of life and excitement.

When Mrs. Sanders saw Melvin walking in with Sarah, she was momentarily surprised — but quickly recovered, putting on a warm, joyful smile.

“You little rascal,” Mrs. Sanders teased Melvin. “Just a few days ago when I asked you to come, you refused. And yet here you are now. Looks like you’re still a good and filial son after all.”
