Divorce Reboot: Finding My Perfect Man

Chapter 588

"Melvin... you're back. I'll... I'll get you sdrinks." Sydney forced herself to stay calm.

She grabbed a cup and turned toward the kitchen, but he caught her wrist in an instant.

"Melvin, what are you...?"

"Where is she?" Melvin's grip tightened until her wrist turned white.

Sydney winced, trying to pull free. "Melvin! | don't know what you're talking about! Who's 'she'?"

"Stop playing dumb. | know you did this. | let it go when you stole the proposal for Wilson Industries, but do you

think Sanders Group will forgive such a serious offense? Before | completely lose control, tellwhat you've

done." Melvin's eyes were cold.

Sydney had never seen this frightening side of him before.

Trembling, she backed away. "Melvin, you're hurting me. Please let go. | really don't know what you mean."

"Melvin, what are you doing?"

A deafening thunderclap jolted Melvin. In the flash of lightning, he saw his mother arrive.

She rushed over and forced them apart. Sydney immediately hid behind Mrs. Sanders. "Auntie, help me! Melvin's

lost his mind!"

"Mom, don't stop me. | need to question her."

"If you want to ask her something, speak properly. I'm right here. Go ahead." Mrs. Sanders kept Sydney behind

her.

"I'll be direct," Melvin said coldly. "Sydney was the one who stole our designs for Wilsons. | kept that quiet. But

today, Sarah was kidnapped on her way home. Half an hour ago, the kidnappers called demanding 300 million."

He turned back to Sydney. "This is your doing, isn't it?"

"Melvin! It wasn't me, why would | do that? Even if | wanted to hurt her, why would | demand money from you?

You're my cousin, I've always respected you. How could | harm you?" Sydney said frantically.

Mrs. Sanders nodded in agreement. "Melvin, Sydney's right. She grew up with you. She'd never do anything to

hurt you, especially now that she works at the company."

"Hah. Sydney, you really think | don't know? After the recording incident was exposed, Vivian contacted you,

didn't she? If I'm not mistaken, you had to either pay compensation or do her a favor?" Melvin looked at Sydney

as if she were a fool.

Sydney was stunned that Melvin had figured everything out. But her meetings with Vivian had been so secretive

- how did he know?

"Did you really think I put you in a branch office instead of headquarters just to keep you away from me?" Melvin

didn't mention that when he arranged her position, he'd also arranged for two people to track her every move.

They'd heard her entire bathroom conversation that day.

Sydney's face went pale, but she couldn't admit it.

"Auntie, | really don't know anything! | have nothing to do with Sarah's

disappearance. You have to believe me!" Sydney cried, tugging at Mrs. Sanders’

sleeve.

"Mom, you'd better stay out of this," Melvin told his mother.

Mrs. Sanders looked gravely at her son. Though he always showed her respect, she knew their relationship had

long been strained.

She stepped aside. "Sydney, Sarah is part of the Sanders family. If anything happens to her, you'll be held

responsible. Better to tell the truth now than have it discovered later."

"Auntie, you too..."

Melvin fixed Sydney with a cold stare. "Sydney, leaking company secrets is a crime, especially stealing

confidential files. Do you want to go to jail?"

Tears rolled down Sydney's face as she looked at Melvin in anguish. "I'll... I'll tell you."

The front door opened again. This tit was Mia, just being dropped off.

She walked in to find the three of them in a tense standoff.

"Melvin, where's Sarah? She should have been htwo hours ago after work." Mia asked, puzzled.

"Mia, Sarah's... she's been kidnapped."

"Kidnapped?" Mia's eyes widened.

Melvin ignored her, turning back to Sydney. "Talk! Where is she?"

"In an abandoned factory in the East District..." Sydney's voice trembled.

Melvin rushed out immediately.

"It was you! You had Sarah kidnapped? | won't let you get away with this!" Mia stared at Sydney in shock.

Suddenly remembering something, she ran out the door, shouting after the disappearing car in the rain, "Zach!

Cback!"

But he was too far away to hear.

Panicked, she pulled out her phone and dialed the number.

"Zach! Sarah's been kidnapped!"

Meanwhile, refusing to speak further

She tried working at the ropes behind her, but as he'd warned, every movement made them tighter.

The man clicked his tongue. "Won't listen, will you? If you end up killing yourself, that's not on me."

"I'm freezing. | need clothes, shelter

He looked up at the tree. "With all this thunder and lightning... | wonder what would happen if lightning struck

here?"

Sarah frowned. Though she knew the chances were small, lightning strikes weren't impossible.

Suddenly, the man opened his

raincoat. "If you're oes

sbriething more... interesting. That

would chase away the cold quickly."

"Get away from me!" Sarah snapped.

Anger flashed across the man's face. He was about to slap her when his phone rang sharply.

Remembering his employer's cruelty, he quickly answered. "Miss, everything's done as planned."

"Yes, she can't escape. I've already made the call."
