Chapter 525
Sarah tilted her head slightly, her smile laced with mockery.
"All I know is that he somehow tripped and knocked himself out. You weren't even here, yet you immediately
assumed | did it. Why is that, Sydney?"
"You-!" Sydney's face turned red with anger.
She scoffed. "So, you're saying he harassed you, failed, and then somehow managed to knock himself
unconscious?"
Sarah beamed. "That's exactly what happened."
Sydney opened her mouth to argue, but then-her eyes darted to a shadow in the
corner.
Someone was there.
"Who's there? Show yourself!"
The moment Zachary stepped into the light, Sydney's breath hitched.
Of course she recognized him.
"Mr. Reynolds...? Why are you here?"
Zachary ignored her, his expression unreadable.
"I have things to do. I'll be leaving now."
Sydney's eyes flashed, and she quickly stepped forward. "Mr. Reynolds, can you helptake my cousin to the
hospital?" Her voice was soft, almost pleading.
A face like hers-pale as snow, delicate and pitiful-few men could refuse her requests.
But Zachary didn't even acknowledge her.
Without sparing her a glance, he turned and walked out.
Sydney clenched her jaw, humiliated.

Sarah's smirk deepened. "Miss Blanco, | suggest you hurry up and take your cousin to the hospital."
And with that, she walked away.
Sydney glared after her, her hands clenched into fists.
Later that evening.
At six o'clock, Sarah arrived back at the Sanders residence.
But just as she reached the entrance, a furious figure stormed toward her.
"SARAH, WHAT DID YOU DO?!"
Sydney stood in front of the gates, her face twisted with rage, her finger jabbing toward Sarah accusingly.
Sarah barely glanced at her. "No idea what you're talking about."
"No idea?!" Sydney's voice rose. "| just dropped my cousin off at the hospital, and the next thing | know the
police showed up and arrested him! Don't tellyou had nothing to do with that!"
Sarah's expression remained cold. “He harassed me. | called the police. What part of that was wrong?"
"That was Benji! My cousin! How could you do this? Get him out, now!" Sydney's voice cracked with disbelief.
Sarah's gaze was razor-sharp as she looked her dead in the eye.
"All I know is that screep harassedat the theatre, and | called the cops. | don't know anything about a
so-called 'cousin.""
Then, without another word, she turned to walk inside.
"You stop right there! Sarah, you explain yourself!"
Sydney lunged forward, grabbing Sarah's arm. SMACK!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed in the air.
Sydney froze, her cheek burning as she stared at Sarah in shock.
"You hit me?! How dare you!"
Her anger surged, and without thinking, she raised her hand high, ready to strike back.
Sarah caught Sydney's wrist midair, her grip like iron.
"So what if | hit you?" Her voice was low, cold. "You knew why Benjamin was there. You knew exactly what he
was planning to do to me. Don't act innocent."
Her dark eyes held a chilling intensity, an undeniable pressure that made Sydney shudder despite herself.
"You-" Sydney's voice wavered before her anger flared again. "It was you, wasn't it? You sabotaged my dress!
How else could it have fallen apart like that? You planned it from the start, you bitch! You humiliatedon
purpose!"
She struggled to yank her arm free, but Sarah's grip was unrelenting.
Sarah's smirk was sharp. "Stay the hell away from me, Sydney. Or I'll make sure you end up right beside him in
jail."
With a forceful shove, she flung Sydney aside and strode into the house.
Without looking back, she shot a cold order to the security guards.
"Keep the gates shut. Don't let stray dogs wander in."
"Sarah! You bitch! Who the hell are you calling a dog?!"
Sydney clung to the iron gates, screaming in rage.
"Sarah! Get back here! You think this is over?! Get back here!"
Her shrieks echoed through the courtyard, but inside, Sarah didn't spare her another thought.
