Chapter 712
"Mr. Sanders, | believe | was very clear in my email. With the current uncertain situation, cooperating withis
the most rational choice," Zachary said seriously.
Melvin burst out laughing. "I might have believed you if you'd said this a few years ago, but times have changed.
Zachary, do you remember what you promisedbefore? Have you kept any of those promises? Neither three
years ago nor now have you delivered."
When Melvin mentioned three years ago, Zachary's eyes filled with gravity and shame. No one understood
better than they did what had happened that horrific scene was too painful to even think about.
He moved his lips. "People can't always live in the past."
Even he couldn't believe his own words.
Melvin said with self-mockery, "Listen to yourself. How absurd that sounds. People indeed can't live in the past
forever, but Sarah has been trapped in that darkness for three years. Do you dare to face it? To uncover it?"
After being wounded, a bleeding injury slowly forms a scab. The thicker the scab becomes, the more painful it is
to pick off. If you let it leave a deep scar on your skin, you may not even have the chance to remove it.
People choose to cover it with clothing or convince themselves they've forgotten about the scar, but what
remains on the skin can never be erased.
"I'm sorry." The typically cold and stern Zachary lost his strength. All his pride and aloofness crumbled in the face

The scar he dared not face would remain his weakness for life.
"Yes, it's my fault. But before | atone for my sins, we can cooperate."
Cooperate?
Melvin thought about the cooperation Zachary had mentioned in his email— working together to bring down the
Wilson Group. "Why do you suddenly want to do this?"
"It's not sudden. That incident created an eternal, unbreakable deadlock betweenand the Wilson family.
Then sother things happened. In short, the Wilson Group must be taken down."
At the foot of West Ridge lay hundreds of buried people. Their flesh and bones had long merged with the
mountain, transformed into rocks and nutrients.
They were all waiting for closure, to rest in peace.
"The Wilson Group has been one of East Coast's oldest families. Their influence runs deep. Taking them down
won't be easy."
East Coast people always said the Reynolds Group was at the top. That was because the Wilson Group kept a low
profile, never fighting for such titles.
Melvin asked, puzzled, "How would we cooperate?"
"The Wilson Group has deep foundations, but they can't be deeper than two companies combined. Vivian is very
calculating, but she's not the most difficult person to deal with in the Wilson Group. It's

"You cwell-prepared."
Zachary stood up. "When dealing with her, one can't be underprepared."
A new group of guests arrived at the Pine Mist Island resort hotel, and among them was Sarah.
