WantNovelChapter 500
The men who had been hovering around quickly scattered, acting as if nothing had happened. They returned to
their booths-sdrinking, others dancing- blending back into the chaotic rhythm of the bar.
"Zachary, you cto pickup?"
Vivian looked up at him with misty eyes. Zachary's gaze swept across the table cluttered with empty glasses, his
brows knitting together.
"Why did you drink so much?"
"Because I'm upset," Vivian murmured, resting her hand lightly on his arm. "They all say you love Sarah, not me.
They say | ruined your happiness by suddenly returning to the country. Zachary, is that true?"
"Con, drink up!"
"Stop just drinking-let's go dance!"
The deafening noise of the bar pounded against Sarah's ears. She leaned against the wall near the restroom, a
spot that conveniently kept her hidden while still allowing her to hear every word exchanged between Zachary
and Vivian.
Zachary hesitated for a long moment. Vivian clung to him, her voice laced with desperation.
"Tell me, Zachary! Tellthe truth!"
Her voice trembled as if on the verge of tears.
Sarah clenched her fists tightly at her sides.
Zachary, answer her. Is it true?
A pause. Then, his voice, firm and unwavering.

"No."
Thump. Thump.
Sarah's heartbeat pounded violently in her chest.
For a split second, it felt as if the entire bar had gone silent. The blaring music, the drunken chatter, the laughter
and shouts it all faded into nothingness, swept away like a passing breeze.
Only his words remained, cutting through the haze, sinking deep into her ears.
"Zachary, they all say you love Sarah, not me. That | ruined your happiness. Is that true?"
"No."
He said no.
Sarah's entire body trembled.
The Pine Mist Island auction proposal, the shocking crash on the overpass-each event was etched into Sarah's
heart.
Had it all been a lie?
Was Zachary's denial his way of saying that the only person he had ever truly loved was Vivian?
Had she been nothing more than a stand-in for Vivian all along?
In that moment, she desperately wanted to ask him herself.
If none of it had been real, then why had he risked his life to crash into the car that was meant to kill her?
If he truly loved Vivian, then why had he secretly handed her the most critical information during the auction?

"Miss? Are you drunk? Wantto help you inside to rest for a bit?"
Did he really love Vivian?
"Hey, gorgeous? Say something!"
A sudden, heavy slap on her shoulder made Sarah flinch. Before she could react, a rough hand wrapped around
hers.
"Ah! What do you think you're doing?!" She panicked, yanking her hand away in disgust, frantically shaking off
the lingering touch.
The man in front of her was dressed
sloppily, reeking of alcohol. His

He leered at her with ill intentions.
"Con, sweetheart, you cto a bar looking for a man, didn't you? Well, here | am. I'll make you feel real
good."
Instinctively, Sarah glanced toward Zachary, hoping for help.

That unwavering, decisive back turned away from her sent a chill down her spine.
"Let go of me! Get your hands off me! Get lost!" She shoved the man away with all her strength, but he reached
for her again.
