Chapter 676
Mia spoke carefully, her voice soft.
"Sarah, I'm sorry... | couldn't stop them."
Sarah turned around. When she saw it was Mia, she smiled and gently tapped Mia's nose with the back of her
hand.
"Silly girl, next tsomething like this happens, just stay far away, okay? The farther the better."
But Mia shook her head firmly and, for once, disagreed.
"No way. They were trying to hurt you, Sarah. | had to protect you."
Sarah couldn't help but pull her into a hug, blinking hard to push down the sting in her eyes.
Mia, worried that Sarah might be upset, even started patting Sarah's back gently, like comforting a little kid.
"It's okay, Sarah. I'm here."
Sarah finally couldn't help but laugh. She gently pushed Mia away and said, "In that case, you can helpclean
up this mess."
Mia clapped her hands happily, completely unbothered by the idea of cleaning.
Looking at Mia's innocent, bright smile, Sarah quietly made a promise to herself — no matter what it took, no
matter what the cost- she would protect this smile.
As the two of them cleaned the ruined office together, Mia kept glancing at Sarah, her face showing that she had
something to say but didn't quite know how to start. Sarah caught her look, raised an eyebrow, and crossed her
arms calmly.
"Just say it."

Mia giggled sheepishly before blurting out, “Sarah... did you go to West Ridge with my brother?"
Sarah paused for a second, then nodded without saying anything.
Mia's smile grew wider and wider, so bright it was practically glowing. "Does that mean... you and my brother
made up?"
This time, Sarah answered without hesitation.
"No."
Mia let out a little "Oh..." - clearly disappointed — and lowered her head to quietly keep tidying up.
Meanwhile, after ordering the mess at Sarah's school, Vivian had no intention of letting Zachary off the hook
either.
She picked up her phone again and called the factory. The person in charge answered quickly.
Vivian started by casually asking about the factory's recent performance and had the manager report all the
current numbers.
Just as the manager was about to say everything was fine, Vivian suddenly interrupted him. "There's something
wrong with the parts Reynolds Corporation is processing, isn't there?"
The manager froze for a second before replying in a lowered voice, "Maybe the workers didn't inspect carefully
enough. I'll have them go over everything again right away."
"Good. I'll be waiting for your update."
Inside the car outside Reynolds Corporation, Zachary hadn't gotten out yet. He sat there, asking quietly, "What's
Vivian planning now?"
Steven, sitting beside him, answered seriously,
"While you were away from East Coast these past few weeks, she kept pressuringabout your whereabouts.
But strangely, these past few days she hasn't askedabout you at all. Instead, she's been paying a lot more
attention to the Vista International factory. Just yesterday, a shipment was sent over, and right after that,
Sanders Group sent theirs too. No one knows what she's scheming."
Zachary let out a deep sigh. "I'm not getting out for now. No one knows I'm back yet, right?"
"No, | haven't told anyone."
"Bringmy laptop. I'll stay here and handle things from the car. Keep my return
a secret for now. It won't be long before Vivian makes her next move."
