Chapter 417
Charlotte's eyes welled up at her mother's words. "Mom, don't say that. James won't abandon me. He'll definitely
save me."
Even if James wouldn't save her, Mrs. Chancer surely wouldn't abandon her. She touched her stomach - if nothing
else, they'd do it for the baby.
The evening's peace was shattered when, just as Mrs. Chancer brought soup and Charlotte had barely taken two
sips, the police cto take her away.
"What are you doing!" Mrs. Chancer screamed, grabbing Charlotte's arm.
Charlotte hadn't expected this turn of events as she was led to the police car. At the hospital entrance, Mrs.
Chancer angrily called James, then William.
At Adams University, Sarah had just packed up to leave work when she encountered Zachary at the door. She
was about to avoid him when she heard Scarlett's voice.
"Sasa! Don't go! Cwith us to the winter light festival!"
Winter Light festival?
Sarah suddenly remembered the afternoon's heated discussions on the school forum about the winter light
display being held on East Coast's historic district.
But she glanced uncertainly at Zachary. Before she could respond, Scarlett pulled her into the car. "Cwith
me, Sasa! The light displays will be amazing."

She couldn't refuse Scarlett. She sat in the back with Scarlett while Steven drove and Zachary took the
passenger seat.
Steven seemed unhappy with this arrangement, constantly glancing back at Scarlett.
They soon arrived at the historic district, which was already crowded with people.
The entire street was decorated with colorful lights overhead. During the festival, whether intentionally or not,
Scarlett and Steven held hands and seemed to drift away from Sarah and Zachary in the crowded areas.
It didn't take much effort - the four were quickly separated by the crowd.
Scarlett looked around worriedly, "Sasa..."
She called out, but there was no response - there were too many people on the street.
As she was about to call again, Steven stopped her. "Don't."
"Why not?" Scarlett asked, confused.
Steven gently patted her head, smiling. "Let's give them stalone. Why else do you think Zach was so
keen to cto the festival today? Besides, don't forget you're here on a date with me. | want to show you
something."
He took her hand and led her away.
In the crowd, Sarah stood still, looking around. She couldn't see Scarlett or Steven anywhere.
She lowered her eyes, noticing all the couples around her while she stood alone.
Just as she turned, a large hand gripped her wrist.
She looked up instinctively - it was Zachary.
