Chapter 466
After Tina's case faded from the spotlight, a new storm erupted-Mia's video spread like wildfire.
The Reynolds' eldest daughter had publicly defended Sarah just a day earlier, only to suffer a breakdown at the
gates of Adams University. It was as if reality had delivered a brutal slap—straight across Mia's face, and by
extension, Sarah's as well.
People began questioning Sarah's competence. While no one denied the prestige of the Decker Competition,
many now speculated that Sarah was merely an academic-strong in theory but lacking real-world experience,
nothing more than an armchair expert.
From the beginning of the controversy until now, Sarah had yet to make any public response.
Just then, Zachary's assistant entered the office once again, this twith a fresh update.
"Mr. Reynolds, this afternoon, Mr. Robinson privately met with Miss Wilson. We don't know yet if it's related to the
contract."
The Reynolds and Wilsons had always been evenly matched in the stock market. Their business collaboration
was deeply intertwined-any sudden withdrawal could shake investor confidence in Vista International.
"Keep monitoring the situation," Zachary instructed.
Reynold Group's stocks were currently stable, and he couldn't afford an unexpected blow from behind.
Of course, Vivian was thinking the sthing.
At Sarah's Apartment

Sarah was in the middle of preparing a report when Melvin arrived straight from work, his expression dark and
heavy.
"Sasa, | found what you askedto investigate."
Sarah held her breath. "Who?"
"Vivian."
Her pupils constricted sharply.
It really was her!
"Cwith me. We're going to the Mendes house!" she ordered.
Melvin didn't hesitate. He grabbed his keys, and the two of them rushed downstairs.
Luckily, he hadn't parked in the garage yet. Without wasting a second, they jumped into the car and sped off.
Upon arriving at Hope Housing Complex, Melvin decided to park at the entrance, anticipating that the residential
area might not have available spots.
Sarah navigated the familiar path through the apartment complex, leading Melvin straight to the Mendes
residence. She knocked firmly on the door.
Mrs. Mendes opened it, her expression immediately wary. "You again?!"
She moved to shut the door, but Melvin swiftly blocked it, forcing it open with
ease.
Sarah stepped inside. A faint mustiness filled the air, mixed with the damp, stale scent of the old apartment. The
unpleasant odor made her wrinkle her nose, but she quickly refocused.
Under Mrs. Mendes's furious glare, she spoke. "Mrs. Mendes, have you thought things through? Are you ready to
tell the truth?"
She was, of course, referring to who had advised her in all of this.
Mrs. Mendes shook her head-this time, with even more certainty than before. "No."
Sarah's gaze landed on the faint glint of gold around the woman's neck. A new necklace.
So, she's already been paid off.
Someone had given her hush money-enough to keep her quiet, and likely, it hadn't even taken much.
But Sarah hadn't cempty-handed.
"| traced the chocolate. | know who gave it to your son. Was it her?"
She pulled out a photo and placed it right in front of Mrs. Mendes. "Answer me."
A visible tremor ran through the woman's body. She sniffled. "No."
"Liar! It was her-you're lying!" Sarah
