Chapter 482
Sarah's arrival stirred a small wave of excitement throughout the banquet hall.
"Oh my god, how does she still have the audacity to show up here? After everything that happened, she actually
dares to come? Absolutely shameless!"
"Exactly! That student jumped because of her! Even though people are trying to clear her name, who knows
what really went on behind the scenes?"
"Mr. Reynolds and Miss Wilson are practically engaged. Do you think she's here just to cause trouble?"
"Cause trouble? Please. What could she even do?"
"I heard the Sanders are in trouble. They lost their wine suppliers, and she's here to fight for a deal."
As whispers and judgmental glances swept through the crowd, Sarah remained composed, unaffected by the
scrutiny.
Melvin, however, squared his shoulders, his cold gaze sweeping across those who dared to stare too long. He
shielded her from much of the hostility, though he knew she didn't care about their opinions.
After a brief exchange, Melvin slipped into the crowd of businessmen, leaving Sarah to find a quiet corner for
herself.
Each seating area was set beside an elegant tower of wine glasses. The banquet tables were meticulously
arranged with a variety of hors d'oeuvres, fine wines, and spirits.
Even the glassware was carefully chosen.

Near the pastries were Bordeaux glasses, filled with deep red wine that exuded the rich aroma of grapes.
Next to the fruit platters were whiskey tumblers, each holding a small pour of strong liquor with two ice cubes to
maintain the perfect chill.
This was a wine connoisseur's event-what was on display now was only a preview. The true highlight would come
later.
Sarah idly examined the subtle variations in wine colors when the glass doors swung open once again.
This time, the new guests were Zachary Reynolds and Vivian Wilson.
Their entrance caused a noticeable stir.
Journalists were present at the event, and the sight of the two arriving together instantly shifted the focus.
In an instant, camera flashes redirected away from the socializing guests and locked onto the pair.
Vivian gently held onto Zachary's arm, the two of them looking every bit the picture-perfect couple.
Even before the evening was over, the reporters had already decided on tomorrow's headlines:
"Zachary Reynolds and Vivian Wilson - A Power Couple's Elegant Entrance at the Wine Gala."
A high-profile wine gala like this hadn't been hosted in East Coast for years, so it was no surprise that Zachary
and Vivian attended.
No one found their presence unusual.
However, when the two of them entered together, many guests instinctively turned to look at Sarah-the woman
who had once been rumored to be Zachary's girlfriend.
Sarah remained seated in her original
spot, holding a oT glass in her

Vivian had chosen a figure hugging gown that accentuated her curves, her figure comparable to Sarah's.
But when it cto beauty, Vivian couldn't quite measure up.
Yet, Vivian was the golden girl, the heiress to the Wilson family, Zachary's
childhood friend. In status and background, Sarah could never compete.
A woman approached Sarah's table, picking up a wine glass before lightly clinking it against Sarah's.
"Miss Sanders, isn't it? I've been quite curious about you."

"And what exactly are you curious about?" Sarah asked casually, unbothered.
