Chapter 401 Nobody Gets to Be Happy
Arthur walked out, leaving behind a suffocating silence in the villa’s living room. Camille had rushed to the hospital, while James sat heavily on the couch, his face dark and his sighs
endless.

Emma helped Sarah to her feet, her voice urgent. “Come on, we need to think of something. Sarah can’t marry this Henry guy- she’s from a wealthy family. How can she marry some nobody?”
Sarah stared blankly ahead, utterly consumed by a deep sense of powerlessness.
James pulled out his phone and called Sebastian, “Sebastian, your sister’s in trouble. Come back right now.”
But Sebastian’s tone was cold, detached. “I haven’t been able to reach Lottie. Can you?”
“Lottie? I’m talking about Sarah!” James was almost shouting in frustration.
Sebastian’s voice turned even colder. “What could possibly happen to her? She’s at home, isn’t she?”
James explained everything that had just happened.

After listening, Sebastian’s response was chillingly calm. “That’s fine. Once she’s married, she won’t cause any more trouble. You have to understand, Dad–if she stirs up any more drama and makes Arthur angry, the Hardwick Group will be finished. Right now, the Harrison Group could crush us easily if they wanted
to.”
James fell silent. After ending the call, he stood up and said coldly, “Go to your room. Get some rest. The wedding’s in two weeks–prepare yourself.”
But before he could finish, Sarah bolted for the door. She had to
find Jennifer.
Five years ago, when Arthur was preparing for their wedding, Jennifer had suddenly approached her. She offered a deal: 10 million dollars to go abroad and further her studies. Jennifer had promised that once Sarah achieved something, she could come back and marry Arthur.

So, Jennifer’s sudden offer of goodwill–plus 10 million dollars -had left Sarah both shocked and tempted. She’d taken the money. Deep down, she also thought she wasn’t good enough for Arthur.
She was just a girl from an ordinary family, and every time. she accompanied him to high–profile events, she could feel the disdain in the eyes of others. Nobody tried to befriend her. She

wanted to change that. She wanted to better herself.
She accepted the money and left before their wedding. But now, Jennifer was her only hope. If anyone could get her out of this nightmare, it was her. She needed Jennifer to help her leave again. She couldn’t marry a stranger.
Yet the moment she reached the villa’s entrance, she was blocked by two guards. “Mr. Harrison gave strict orders–Ms. Miller is not allowed to step out of the Hardwick Villa before the wedding,” one of them said, his expression blank.
Sarah’s face turned pale. “I need to see Mrs. Jennifer Harrison. Let me see Mrs. Jennifer Harrison.”
The guards remained stone–faced. Sarah thought, “I’m trapped, stuck in here, waiting to be married off to a man I don’t even know, let alone love. How could he do this to me? Yes, I made mistakes. I admit it. But why couldn’t he forgive me? Why?”
