WantNovelChapter 498
Under the kaleidoscopic, flickering lights that cast a dim and hazy glow, restless souls surrendered themselves to
the rhythm of the dance floor, swaying in wild abandon.
The music was deafening, drowning out any chance of conversation. Sarah noticed two people near the booths
practically screaming at each other just to be heard.
In this space, men and women lost themselves, venting their frustrations and emotions in tangled movements.
Here, they could strip away everything-doubts, pain, burdens-if only for a little while.
Ever since Steven had warned Scarlett against stepping foot in a bar after their two encounters, she had
promised to stay away. But for the sake of her best friend? She would make an exception.
"Sasa, want to dance? | hear this place can numb you for a while. If you're feeling awful, why not let go for a
bit?"
Sarah found a seat at the bar, idly ordering a glass of champagne. She took a sip before setting it back down.
After indulging in so many exquisite, high-end wines at last night's tasting event, her palate hadn't yet forgotten
their rich complexity. There was no way she could stomach this now.
She sat there quietly. Before she had met James, she and Scarlett had often cto places like this, fearlessly
embracing the reckless abandon of youth. Back then, nothing had ever gone wrong.

"Makesomething strong," she told the bartender. "Something that will makeforget."
Out on the dance floor, Scarlett twirled with an infectious energy, laughing as she moved to the beat.
"Sasa! Con! Get over here!"
Sarah waved her off. She wasn't in the mood.
At the Wilson Corporation, Vivian was handling business matters. She had planned to collaborate with the
Sadberry family, only to find that Sarah had beaten her to it.
Her phone rang. She answered impatiently, "What is it?"
"Where are you?"
"Mm, got it."
After hanging up, Vivian smiled, saved her files, shut down her computer, grabbed her bag, and left the office.
Meanwhile, at the Reynolds Group, Zachary's brows furrowed tightly. "What? We've been discovered?"
His assistant, looking uneasy, reported, "Yes, the other side is extremely cautious. Every twe so much as
touch the files, someone immediately intervenes."
Zachary pinched the bridge of his nose. "Understood. Put that matter on hold for now. By the way, | heard there
was an accident at Wilson's factory in Brookshire a few days ago?"
The assistant wiped cold sweat from his forehead. "Yes, word from Brookshire says that a worker who had stayed
up late the night before accidentally put the wrong raw materials into the machinery the next day. The machine
exploded, killing several people. But as soon as it happened, the person in charge immediately sealed off the
site. Hardly anyone saw how many actually died." Zachary's expression darkened. "Keep an eye on it."
"Understood, Mr. Reynolds," the assistant responded before swiftly exiting.
Once alone, Zachary walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and dialed a number.
"Start tomorrow."
A single reply cfrom the other end. "Understood."
From his vantage point on the 28th
floor, Zachary lookeg! dowratifid!
