Chapter 349
Charlotte leaned against James's shoulder, a satisfied smile on her face as she glanced at Lucy.
On the weekend, Sarah had the day off. She made a simple breakfast-toast and eggs—but before she could take
a bite, a loud knock interrupted her.
Hurrying to the door, she opened it to see Scarlett standing there, her eyes red and swollen. Scarlett rushed in
and immediately broke down, hugging Sarah tightly as she sobbed uncontrollably.
“Sasa.....” Scarlett's voice trembled, clearly shaken by something serious.
Sarah gently patted her back. "What happened, Scarlett? Take a deep breath and tell me."
After a long pause, Lindsey finally stood up, tears streaming down her face. "Sarah, my dad he was in a car
accident."
"What? How is Uncle Larson? Is he at the hospital?" Sarah asked anxiously.
"My dad's okay," Scarlett said through her sniffles. "But his car crashed into another one. While my dad's fine,
the person in the other car hit their head on the airbag and now has neurological issues. To make things worse,
that person's family owns a company that's a major rival to ours. We used to keep things civil, but now they're
going all out to destroy us."
She wiped her tears and continued, "Our parts have always been better than theirs, but now our factories keep
having problems-fires, equipment breakdowns it's been nonstop. Before the accident, my dad had signed a huge
contract. If we can't finish on time, we'll lose everything. We'll go bankrupt."
Sarah hadn't expected things to escalate this far. She tried to reassure her. "Can't your dad hire more security to

Lindsey grabbed a cup of tea from the table, drained it in one gulp, and said, "We've already stationed plenty of
guards, but it's no use. They're determined to take us down."
"Who's behind it?"
"The Luthers."
Sarah immediately understood. She knew Uncle Larson's line of work-on the East Coast, it was either their family
or the Luthers in the sbusiness. If production kept getting delayed, Uncle Larson wouldn't even be able to
find another factory to help.
Still, Sarah found it strange. Even if the Luthers succeeded in destroying the Larsons, they wouldn't gain much. It
felt like a move that would hurt both sides— hardly a wise decision. Was this really just about revenge?
Seeing the confusion on Sarah's face, Lindsey explained further. "The Luthers are a small family. The man in the
crash is Old Mr. Luther's only son, born when he was already in his sixties. That boy's been spoiled rotten,
treated like a king. But the accident wasn't my dad's fault. He was speeding, and that's what caused it.”
Sarah nodded slowly, beginning to understand. If the family's only heir had been left impaired, it wasn't
surprising they'd retaliate so harshly.
Wiping her tears, Scarlett turned to Sarah with a pleading look. "Sasa, please help me."
"Scarlett, calm down and telleverything," Sarah said, giving Scarlett's hand a comforting squeeze.
