Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 588

”Melvin… you're back. I'll... I'll get you some drinks.” Sydney forced herself to stay calm.

She grabbed a cup and turned toward the kitchen, but he caught her wrist in an instant.

“Melvin, what are you…?”

"Where is she?" Melvin's grip tightened until her wrist turned white.

Sydney winced, trying to pull free. “Melvin! I don't know what you're talking about! Who's 'she'?"

"Stop playing dumb. I know you did this. I let it go when you stole the proposal for Wilson Industries, but do you think Sanders Group will forgive such a serious offense? Before I completely lose control, tell me what you've done." Melvin's eyes were cold.

Sydney had never seen this frightening side of him before.

Trembling, she backed away. “Melvin, you're hurting me. Please let go. I really don't know what you mean."

"Melvin, what are you doing?"

A deafening thunderclap jolted Melvin. In the flash of lightning, he saw his mother arrive.

She rushed over and forced them apart. Sydney immediately hid behind Mrs. Sanders. "Auntie, help me! Melvin’s lost his mind!"

Sydney was stunned that Melvin had figured everything out. But her meetings with Vivian had been so secretive - how did he know?

"Did you really think I put you in a branch office instead of headquarters just to keep you away from me?" Melvin didn't mention that when he arranged her position, he'd also arranged for two people to track her every move.

They'd heard her entire bathroom conversation that day.

Sydney's face went pale, but she couldn't admit it.

"Auntie, I really don't know anything! I have nothing to do with Sarah's disappearance. You have to believe me!" Sydney cried, tugging at Mrs. Sanders' sleeve.
