Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 712

"Mr. Sanders, I believe I was very clear in my email. With the current uncertain situation, cooperating with me is the most rational choice," Zachary said seriously.

Melvin burst out laughing. "I might have believed you if you'd said this a few years ago, but times have changed. Zachary, do you remember what you promised me before? Have you kept any of those promises? Neither three years ago nor now have you delivered."

When Melvin mentioned three years ago, Zachary's eyes filled with gravity and shame. No one understood better than they did what had happened—that horrific scene was too painful to even think about.

He moved his lips. "People can't always live in the past."

Even he couldn't believe his own words.

Melvin said with self-mockery, "Listen to yourself. How absurd that sounds. People indeed can't live in the past forever, but Sarah has been trapped in that darkness for three years. Do you dare to face it? To uncover it?"

After being wounded, a bleeding injury slowly forms a scab. The thicker the scab becomes, the more painful it is to pick off. If you let it leave a deep scar on your skin, you may not even have the chance to remove it.

People choose to cover it with clothing or convince themselves they've forgotten about the scar, but what remains on the skin can never be erased.

"I'm sorry." The typically cold and stern Zachary lost his strength. All his pride and aloofness crumbled in the face of this issue.

The scar he dared not face would remain his weakness for life.

"Yes, it's my fault. But before I atone for my sins, we can cooperate."

Cooperate?

Melvin thought about the cooperation Zachary had mentioned in his email—working together to bring down the Wilson Group. "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"

"It's not sudden. That incident created an eternal, unbreakable deadlock between me and the Wilson family. Then some other things happened. In short, the Wilson Group must be taken down."

Zachary smiled and asked, "So, you're willing to cooperate with me?"

"Don't get too excited. I'm not doing this for you. You should know who I'm doing this for. Vivian touched someone she shouldn't have. I never planned to let her off from the beginning," Melvin said coldly.

Zachary took out a manila envelope from his bag and pushed it across to him. "Take your time going through these."

"You came well-prepared."

Zachary stood up. "When dealing with her, one can't be underprepared."

A new group of guests arrived at the Pine Mist Island resort hotel, and among them was Sarah.
