Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 685

As Mrs. Sanders kept talking, not only did Sarah stay silent — she actually started laughing.

Mrs. Sanders frowned. “What are you laughing at?”

Sarah’s gaze turned cold. Her voice was calm but sharp.

“Shouldn’t matters between us younger people be handled by us directly? Wouldn’t it sound bad if word got out that you’re getting involved like this?”

She paused for a second, then added with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.

“Besides, no matter what, I’m still the biggest shareholder in Sanders Group. Firing an employee is well within my rights, don’t you think?”

Right now, Sarah was actually glad Mrs. Sanders had finally dropped the act and shown her true colors. At least it saved Sarah the trouble of pretending to be polite.

Mrs. Sanders still wore the kind, gentle smile of an elder, but her voice turned colder underneath.

“So what, you’re using your position to pressure me now?”

Sarah laughed softly.

“You’re joking. How would I dare?”

Without bothering to continue the conversation, Sarah picked up her glass of water and went straight back to her room.

The next day.

Charlotte sat alone in the huge, empty villa, her beautiful face showing nothing but frustration and restlessness.

It had been nearly a month since James had come home to accompany her. Every day, he brushed her off with the same excuse — work.

At this point, Charlotte even wondered if the cold, business-like text replies she got from him were really from him — or just his assistant replying for him.

No way. She couldn’t just sit here and wait.

It was obvious James had grown tired of her. If she didn’t do something, the distance between them would only grow wider.

Having made up her mind, Charlotte grabbed her phone and directly dialed his number.

Normally, she wasn’t allowed to keep her phone with her — but this month, she’d used the excuse of being heavily pregnant and needing it for emergencies to get permission.

At that moment, James was sitting at his office desk, reviewing documents. When his phone rang, he glanced at the screen, then pressed silent without hesitation and flipped it face down on the desk.

“Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is unavailable.”

Hearing the automated response, Charlotte was so furious she threw her phone onto the bed, her chest rising and falling rapidly with anger.

After calming herself for a few seconds, she picked the phone back up and opened her chat app.

She scrolled through her contacts and found someone she hadn’t gotten around to renaming — one of her "eyes" planted inside James’s company.

— You’re right! I’ll go ask right now!

A few minutes later, just as Charlotte was starting to lose patience, she finally saw the typing indicator pop up on her screen.

— Ma’am, I found out! Mr. Chancer should be in a meeting right now.

Charlotte finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he was really working, that was fine.

The informant sent another message eagerly.

— Ma’am, anything else I can help with? I’ll do anything for you!

Charlotte rolled her eyes and transferred some money over.

— That’s all.

The person happily accepted the money and even sent her a sticker.

— Thank you, ma’am! Much appreciated!

Around lunchtime, Charlotte asked the housekeeper to prepare some dishes, packed them into a thermal lunchbox, and got ready to personally deliver a loving, homemade lunch to James.
