Chapter 465
Before James could finish reading, his mother entered the room, her face clouded with worry.
"James, I'm really worried about Charlotte. Why is it that even though she hasn't been sent to prison, | still can't
take care of her? If anything happens to my grandson, | won't let them off!" she said angrily, her frustration
spilling over into a fit of coughing.
James remained calm. "Mom, even if she isn't in prison, she's still under house arrest. That means that while she
may be at home, it's no different from being in jail. You can't just visit her whenever you want."
His mother glanced at his computer screen and immediately spotted Sarah's ndisplayed in bold letters. With
a cold snort, she scoffed, "That wretched woman has finally revealed her true colors for everyone to see. She's
nothing but a curse! First, she ruined Lucy, then Charlotte and my grandson. And now, she's finally killed
someone. Let's see how she gets away this time!"
James's expression darkened slightly. "Mom, the case isn't even closed yet. Besides, Dean Larson already
released the security footage. There's nothing suspicious in it."
"You're actually defending that little tramp? Have you forgotten who sent Charlotte to jail? And Lucy-she's still in
a psychiatric hospital!" His mother was one step away from outright yelling.
James took a deep breath. "They brought it on themselves."
"You dare speak tolike this? Don't tellyou actually have feelings for that woman?"
"Mom, stop jumping to conclusions. Don't say things that have no basis."

out of there! She's pregnant! | won't let her stay in that place alone!"
But what could she do? The house arrest had already been decided, and the fact that she wasn't sent to prison
was already the best possible outcome.
"Mom, | can't do it. | couldn't even get Lucy out of the psychiatric hospital-let alone someone under house
arrest," James refused without hesitation.
"Fine! If you won't help, I'll find someone who will!" His mother pointed an accusatory finger at him, her restraint
barely keeping her from exploding into a full-blown rage.
She stormed out, slamming the door behind her. Only then did James let out a quiet sigh of relief.
At the Reynolds Group.
Zachary was monitoring the shifting tide of public opinion regarding the Adams University incident. Ever since
the media published Mrs. Mendes's statements— along with her demand for one million—the narrative had
begun to change.
"At first, | thought this was another case of a powerless person fighting against the elites, but turns out it's just
blatant extortion!"
"One million? That's insane. If she had only asked for a hundred thousand, | might've passionately supported her.
But now? | barely make three thousand a month I should probably just worry about my own life instead."
There were countless similar comments. Zachary understood this mindset all too well.

If Tina still chose to end her life, the reason likely lay in something that had happened in the three days after she
left the counseling room-something no one yet understood.
Zachary had access to the raw, unedited video. However, the version circulating online had been selectively cut.
Revealing Tina's medical history would have helped clear Sarah's nentirely. But the school had chosen not
to disclose it-at Sarah's request.
