Chapter 345
"Are you threatening me?" Vivian glared angrily at the man in front of her.
The man remained calm and composed. "Not at all. I'm merely reminding you, Miss Wilson, that we're in this
together. If certain things were to cto light, | imagine your reaction would be quite tic."
Though furious, Vivian knew this was something Zachary must never find out about.
"This is the last time," she said coolly. "Go back and wait for my instructions."
Zachary had heard enough. He quietly left, not wanting to hear more. But the words stuck in his mind.
The last tfor what?
Waiting for what instructions?
Before their conversation ended, he had already slipped away, leaving the rest unanswered.
At the Misty Island Hotel, the morning session of the symposium had just concluded.
Sarah was sitting in the restaurant, quietly eating her lunch, when a woman stormed in through the doors, her
face twisted with anger.
"Sarah! It's me," Charlotte said, glaring at her with venom.
Sarah looked up, her expression calm.
"Stay away from James! No contact none at all! Or you'll pay the price!" Charlotte shouted, slamming her hand
on the table in frustration.
Unfazed, Sarah replied, "He's your man. You deal with him."

Charlotte's anger boiled over. Without warning, she grabbed a cup of tea from the table and splashed it at Sarah.
The tea was still hot, and Sarah, caught completely off guard, froze as it splashed over her.
Charlotte reached for another cup, intending to throw it too, but her hand was abruptly seized in a tight grip.
Startled, Sarah instinctively covered her face, expecting another attack. When nothing happened, she peeked
through her fingers and saw James standing beside her, his hand gripping Charlotte's wrist firmly.
Her heart skipped a beat-when had James arrived?
"What are you doing again?" James demanded coldly, his tone dark with anger. Just the thought of someone
hurting Sarah made his temper flare.
Charlotte yanked her hand free and slammed the cup onto the table, shooting James a cold glare.
"Again?" she snapped.
"Charlotte-" James started, but she cut him off.
"Don't forget who your wife is, James. | think you've already forgotten."
"| was wrong about before-"
"Wrong?" Charlotte shook her head, her voice icy. "No, James. You've lost sight of everything."
James froze, her resolute expression hitting him like a bucket of cold water.
He turned his gaze to Charlotte, who stood there trembling with anger. "Shouldn't you explain what just
happened?" he asked, his voice dangerously calm.
The chill in his tone made her panic.
"James, it's my fault," Charlotte said, her eyes brimming with tears, her face full of grievance as she looked at
him.

Hearing this softened James further, making it impossible for him to hold any blagainst her.
He held her close, feeling the familiar warmth of her embrace, but something felt off-very off.
The scent was wrong. It wasn't right at all.
Suppressing the irritation rising in his chest, his mind wandered to another woman -a different figure altogether.
"Sarah..." he murmured absentmindedly.
That single whisper made Sarah feel incredibly uncomfortable. She had no
interest in being a witness to their display of affection.
Once she finished her meal, she left without looking back.
In prison, Mrs. Chancer was meeting with Lucy. It had taken numerous favors to arrange this visit.
