Chapter: 1188
The righteous man swiftly spirited the girl away from that ominous place, returning with his comrades to the scene. To their bewilderment, there were no vestiges of the killers or the abducted children left behind in the verdant expanse.
They embarked on an exhaustive search but their efforts yielded no discernible traces.
Two decades hence, the malevolent enchantress known as Sarah appeared, as if conjured from the ether.
Her demeanor was marked by cruelty and ruthlessness, her hands stained with the blood of countless victims. She frequently clashed with righteous forces, perpetuating a cycle of strife.
Curiously, some aspects of Sarah's upbringing bore a semblance to Sabrina's own experiences.
The role Sabrina was poised to portray mirrored a poignant exchange that occurred between Sarah and the male protagonist moments before her demise.
“Director, I can start right away. Shall we proceed with a trial run?"
Sabrina inquired.
“Okay, you may begin now."
Camden was happy to hear this.
Sabrina readied herself for the performance.
With great effort, Sarah positioned herself, her gaze fixed resolutely upon the hero.

It must be acknowledged that the character of Sarah possessed a remarkably nuanced depth, a blend of good within the sinister. Despite her role as an antagonist, she did not elicit sheer antipathy.
Camden regarded Sabrina with astonishment and countered, "Why do you say that? You were splendid! You epitomized Sarah perfectly!”
Sabrina demurred, her tone tinged with self-effacement, “Camden, please do not offer undue praise..."
“Do you believe me to be disingenuous? I speak the unvarnished truth, Sabrina. You are an extraordinary talent waiting to be discovered. To forgo acting would be to squander your remarkable abilities..."
