A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 132
"He was already dissatisfied when I decided to split up the company. He assumed that taking away the technology would bring me down. He was waiting for me to fail so that he could reclaim Mimosa. He never imagined I'd turn Mimosa around."I've been very careful with the quality of the products we sell. The people who stayed behind were mostly employed by my father. He couldn't stir the pot from inside, so he spread false rumors instead.""Has anyone been sent to see the poisoned victims? What's the situation?" Sage asked.Priscilla informed her that she had sent a trusted aide to the hospital, but the victim's family refused to let them in. In addition, they demanded a whopping one million dollars in compensation and threatened to sue if they did not get it."We absolutely cannot compensate them. If we do, it would only validate their rumors.""Exactly," Priscilla agreed. "I flat-out refused their unreasonable demand. But if this standoff drags on or ends up in court, it would dam

To be honest, everyone at Mimosa could have thought of it. But because they had all been panicking, their natural instinct to play it safe prevented them from thinking clearly."I have to admit that it's a rare treat to see you blush," Shane remarked.Sage couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Well, are you satisfied with this solution, Mr. Morrison?""Eh, it's alright." He rose to his feet. "Since we're done here, you're coming with me.""Where are we going?""To talk outside." Shane straightened his coat and walked out of the office. Sage said goodbye to Priscilla and followed him outside. Sage, still a little peeved about Shane's earlier behavior, said coldly, "So what's with all the secrecy? Where are we headed? Just so you know, we're not exactly friends, so don't come to me for anything unrelated to work.""The feeling's mutual." Shane cast a disdainful glance at Sage. "I've got my eye on a new project, and I want you to take a look into it."She hadn't officially joi

Shane burst into laughter when he heard that, and the woman shot daggers at Sage. "Will you shut up? You're just a driver. Oh, I get it. You think you can use your looks to get close to Mr. Morrison as his chauffeur. How naive of you!""How did you manage to attract someone with such a loose screw?" Sage asked Shane in the back seat."How dare you—" The woman was about to retort, but Shane cut her off impatiently, "Roll up the windows and drive."Sage immediately rolled up the window and stepped on the gas. The woman almost fell over. Then, she shouted as they sped away, "What about your car, Mr. Morrison? At the very least, give me your contact information!""Mr. Morrison, you sure have a lot of admirers," Sage remarked as she looked at the woman, who was trying to chase after them.Shane rolled his eyes. "Does that mean you're my admirer too? After all, you crashed into my car as well.""... No, that was an accident."Sage finally figured out why Shane's chauffeur was so goo

Sage had no choice but to sit down and accept the waiter's menu."I'm going to the restroom," Shane said while she thumbed through the menu.She ignored him and ordered several dishes. Regardless of what Shane was up to, her stomach came first.Shane returned after she had placed her order. He took the menu from her, swiftly circled a few dishes, and handed it to Sage. "Bring this to the kitchen and tell them to change all the dishes in room 1 to these."Sage took a look at the dishes Shane had marked. They were all cucumber dishes—stir-fried cucumbers, mashed cucumbers, cucumber salad, pickled cucumber, and cucumber with eggs. Sage realized that Shane was attempting to pull a prank on someone."Mr. Morrison, could you please clarify what you're trying to do here?""What's the rush?" He continued, "It's not like I'm asking for a lot. I just want to observe their reaction. Stop fussing and go already!""I'm not going," she said confidently. "Why should I change someone else's ord

Two waiters walked into the room, each carrying a tray. The dishes were covered with lids to keep them warm.Terry watched them serve the dishes and said warmly, "I bet you guys are starving, Professor Braun. Please dig in! These have been specially prepared for us, so I hope you'll enjoy them.""We've served all your dishes. Please enjoy your meal." The waiter then removed the lids from the dishes.Collin and his assistants looked at each other in surprise when they saw the "cucumber feast" before them. Terry was stunned as well. It took him a moment to realize that everything he had ordered had been replaced with cucumbers.Terry felt a wave of panic wash over him as he met his boss' cold gaze. "What's going on? I didn't order these!" he asked the waiter.The waiter claimed he had no idea what had happened and had simply been told to bring this to them. He hastily brought the manager over.Ian's expression darkened when the manager said a woman who claimed to be his wife had go

Sage was completely baffled by Shane's actions. Why couldn't he have used a more sophisticated approach if he were going to go against Ian? She couldn't accept his childish approach at all.Ian ignored Shane's provocation. Instead, he turned to Sage and said, "You're coming with me to Room One."Her brows furrowed together. "Why?" Surely he wasn't going to hold her accountable for this mess?Shane chimed in, "She's my driver today. I don't mind if you bother her, but she isn't going anywhere with you!"Ian frowned and shot Shane a cold glance. "Mr. Morrison, word has it that your elder brother is going to be promoted. He might not forgive you if something were to go awry now.""Do you seriously think you have that much power?" Shane scoffed.Ian's tone remained apathetic. "I know he's over in Brookfield, but it just so happens that he's particularly interested in involving Holcomb Corporation in his investment plan this time."Shane snorted. "What does that have to do with me? I

"It's not your fault. Go have the kitchen remake the soup and charge it to my room," Ian said.The waiter left, grateful to have been spared. Sage couldn't hide her concern for him. "Go rinse your hand with cold water."Even though she tried to hide it, Ian could still see a gleam of concern in her eyes.He looked into her eyes and said, "Help me."Sage didn't decline. There happened to be a mini sink in front of them. They walked over and Sage turned on the faucet.Worried that the water pressure would be too strong, she cupped her hands under the faucet before slowly pouring it over Ian's flushed hand.The warm yellow light from the corridor cast a soft glow on her hair and delicate face. It gave her a gentle, ethereal allure. "What do you like?" Ian asked.Sage looked up in surprise. Her large, dewy eyes widened. His tone softened. "Didn't you say that I should know your preferences before I give you something?"Sage smiled wryly as she thought about what had happened la

Sage's cheeks were slightly red. She glared at Ian and sat down, saying, "I'll just comply then.""Mr. Holcomb, your wife is so lovely. You shouldn't make her angry. You must apologize properly when you go back later," said Colin.Ian, as if he were truly a man who had angered his wife, readily agreed, "Okay."Just as they were talking, the restaurant manager knocked on the door and handed a bottle of ointment to Ian before apologizing on behalf of the waiter for what happened earlier. Only then did the people in the room notice the redness on his hand."Mr. Holcomb, why didn't you speak up earlier? This burn could be serious," someone said.Remaining calm, Ian replied, "My wife helped me to rinse it with cold water earlier. I'm fine."Terry couldn't help but snicker inwardly seeing how Ian seemed to be calling Sage his wife more and more naturally now.Then, he began to recall a previous dinner appointment at a seafood restaurant not too long ago. Ian had refused to go and inst

Ian said calmly, "I just got back from a business trip and came by to check on Sage."Giselle didn't ask more questions. She explained to Sage, "I just saw Selena over there. I went to her and clarified that this was my idea. Selena said it was okay."Seeing Selena's calm and relaxed demeanor, Sage didn't have the energy to pretend to be friendly with her.She said to Giselle, "I'm going back to the ward," and then headed to the elevator.Ian was at her heels. "Sage, if you're too tired, just lean on me."Sage stayed silent and didn't respond to Ian, just staring blankly at the numbers on the elevator panel.In the hospital room, Tiana had been waiting for Sage for a while.Seeing Ian, Tiana was equally surprised and asked, "What are you doing at the hospital? Weren't you on a business trip away from town?"Ian succinctly said, "I came back once the task was done."Tiana looked at Sage. "How did it go?"Sage nodded numbly. "Pretty good."Tiana could tell from Sage's expressi

Sage paused slightly in her steps and turned to look at Shane. Her voice was slightly hoarse as she asked, "Is there anything else?"Shane felt an indescribable discomfort as he watched Sage's unsteady appearance.But he didn't know why he had to call out to Sage, especially since he didn't remember anything about her."Since you say we are good friends, and I got hurt because of you, why can't you visit me more often?" Shane questioned, finding a reason.“Sorry, she won't be available.”As soon as Shane finished speaking, the door to the hospital room was suddenly pushed open.Sage turned her head and saw Ian's tall, upright figure.He was wearing a custom-tailored black suit, looking like he had rushed over from somewhere, carrying an air of exhaustion.Ian had been on a business trip for the past two days. Why did he suddenly show up now?Sage glanced toward the doorway but didn't see any signs of Giselle.Sage had a faint guess about who was behind this. She gave a self-d
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 882
Shane's thought process was quite logical.Sage calmly replied, "You were worried that she was only momentarily taking a step back, so you couldn't fully trust her and wanted to observe for a while."Shane also mentioned that when Sage came to the hospital room two days ago, the way she spoke to him was very familiar. It wasn't like how typical business partners would interact.Sage admitted that they were not just business partners but had become good friends through their interactions."But I wouldn't take a good friend to my mother's grave," Shane suddenly said.Sage was taken aback upon hearing this. Had Giselle told Shane about this, too?Seeing Shane looking at her, Sage calmed herself. "You were deceiving Giselle."It's not just this, but also some of our daily interactions. You embellished the details and even went out of your way to act nice to me in front of her."Shane indeed did that before. Sage wasn't at all diffident to talk about it.Shane could see it, too. "S

Taking a deep breath, Sage knocked on the hospital room door.Giselle walked over, glanced down the hallway, and asked with a puzzled expression, "What took you so long? Where did you go?"Sage forced a smile. "There were a lot of people waiting for the elevator."Giselle saw how broken and fragile Sage looked. Thinking she was worried about meeting Shane alone, she couldn't help but gently pat her on the shoulder."It's okay. Take your time talking with Shane. If Selena returns, I'll tell her that everything was my idea."Sage didn't have the energy to explain further to Giselle. She simply said thank you and then walked into the hospital room.Shane sat upright at the head of his bed, dressed in a hospital gown, with bandages still on his head.His handsome face looked a bit thinner than before. Under the hospital room's lighting, he had the delicate appearance of a frail young nobleman.Shane was also quietly observing Sage as she walked over.She had a slender and delicate

Selena nodded. "It's understandable, Ms. Joyner. However, before you go to see Shane, could you take a moment to hear me out?"Sage was aware that Selena had been deliberately waiting for her.Sage sent a message to Giselle saying she would be a few minutes late, and then followed Selena to the stairwell beyond the emergency exit.The stairwell was brightly lit, with gleaming floors and an overall quietness that inexplicably added a sense of oppression.Sage asked, "Ms. Morrison, what do you want to talk to me about?"As soon as she finished speaking, Selena suddenly knelt down in front of her."Ms. Morrison, what are you doing?"Sage hurriedly went to help Selena, but the injuries on her back hadn’t fully healed yet. The movement caused her wounds to hurt, and she winced in pain, furrowing her brow."Ms. Joyner, please don't help me up. Let me finish speaking."Selena's face showed determination, and her almond-shaped eyes, similar to Shane's, had a hint of tears."I know Sh

Since Giselle already knew, Sage didn't deny it. She asked directly, "So what do you think? Are you planning to go abroad with Shane?""Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm not going!"Giselle was somewhat annoyed. "Nothing's going on between Shane and me! Why would they suddenly want me to go abroad with him?""But your brother thinks this is a good opportunity for Shane to develop feelings for you," Tiana said.Sage also shared Marcus' analysis with Giselle. "Your brother hopes that you and Shane will end up together in the end. If you still have some feelings for Shane, this could be a good opportunity.""I couldn't care less about such an opportunity!" Giselle said. "No matter how much I liked Shane, that's all in the past now."I'm not a martyr. I would never degrade myself just to win a man's affection. Besides, even if I gave him everything, what I might get in return could be resentment, not love.""Giselle, you are truly wise and perceptive!" Tiana couldn't help but s

"However, Elle has become more thoughtful and no longer acts willfully now. I believe that Shane will change his opinion of her."With them spending so much time together, there's a high chance that Shane will develop feelings for Elle."Sage fell silent. People were naturally fragile when they were alone and were easily moved by the care and warmth shown by others, especially considering they would be in a foreign country.Therefore, it seemed highly likely that what Marcus mentioned could happen."Even though my parents agreed to dissolve Elle's engagement, they are quite satisfied with Shane. They watched Shane grow up and know him well."If our two families could be united through marriage, it would be a joyous occasion for everyone."Ms. Joyner, I know that Shane likes you, but he has currently forgotten you. You also understand that it is very difficult for the two of you to be together."Even if Elle didn't accompany him for the treatment abroad, Mr. Morrison Senior would

Marcus put down the gift he was holding and said tactfully, "I've heard about your situation from Elle. I just visited Shane, and I thought I'd drop by to see you as well."Sage thanked Marcus and invited him to sit down. Then, unable to hold back, Sage asked, "How is Shane doing? Is he okay?"Because Shane didn't remember her, and the Morrison family wouldn't allow her to visit, Sage hadn't been able to see Shane in person for the past couple of days.Marcus said, "He's doing okay, more or less. He has multiple injuries, and his hand and leg are not very functional. On top of that, he frequently gets headaches, and his mood is quite unstable.""He probably remembered you, right?" Sage asked intentionally.She could definitely guess that Shane remembered Marcus. However, she wanted to know if Shane still harbored the same hostility toward Marcus.Instead of asking directly because it didn't seem appropriate, she decided to ask a different question instead.Marcus knew what Sage

George acknowledged her with a slight nod, while Simon asked bluntly, "What are you here for?""I heard Shane has woken up and came to check on him," Sage said honestly.Simon's tone was stern as he said, "Ms. Joyner, you should be aware of the current situation with Shane.""We won't hold what happened between you and Shane against you anymore, but we hope you'll stop bothering him in the future and completely cut ties with him."Before Sage could speak, Giselle's voice rang out. "Mr. George, Simon!"Seeing Giselle, Simon's attitude softened a bit.George also had a kind smile on his face. "Have you come to see Shane, Elle?"You see, even though Shane has forgotten so many things, he remembers everything about you very clearly. That shows he still cares about you," joked George.Giselle glanced at Sage and replied with a hint of playfulness, "Mr. George, you really shouldn't joke with me like this."Shane hasn't completely lost his memory, so it's perfectly normal for him to
