A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 278
Sage turned over and realized Ian had walked up to her at some point and was currently pointing out the flaws in the contract. His long arm almost touched her nose as he gestured at the computer screen. She couldn't help but catch a whiff of the cedarwood and alcohol on him."Don't look at me. Look at the contract." Ian turned her head with his hand. Sage rolled her eyes when she noticed his tone and actions were like those of a teacher teaching his apprentice. However, she didn't protest and turned her attention back to the contract.The problems he pointed out made her feel as if a light bulb had been switched on in her head. They were all difficult issues to spot, but he was able to point them out at a glance. No wonder he was able to manage Holcomb Corporation so well. Ian really was capable.Sage was able to identify and correct the problems in the contract under Ian's guidance. She then sent the revised contract to her uncle. Sage stretched after she was done. She was exha

However, Ian was nowhere to be found when she reached downstairs. Sage called him, assuming that he was at the office, but his phone was powered off. She also couldn't get through to Terry's phone.She eventually called the secretary's office at Holcomb Corporation and learned that Ian and Terry had gone on a business trip to deal with an emergency. Even the secretary had no idea when they would return.Sage thought it was a huge coincidence that Ian was away on business on the day they were supposed to get the divorce certificate. She couldn't help but feel like Ian had done it on purpose, but she also knew that Ian wasn't the kind of person who would come up with an excuse like that just to avoid getting a divorce.Mulling it over, she decided to unblock Ian and send him a message. "Why'd you go on a business trip all of a sudden, Ian? Please don't tell me you're going back on your word.""When will you be back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"Sage was aware that she would

Shane was a pain to deal with, and Sage didn't want to waste her breath on him. Hence, she cut to the chase and asked, "Fine. When are you free?"Shane responded, "How about tomorrow? I'll give you two days to deal with the contract and work.""You're not going to embarrass me in public or set me up for something, are you?" she couldn't help but ask she noticed Shane's mischievous smile.He grinned. "Anyhow, you've agreed to it, so you'll have to jump even if there's a trap ahead."In the afternoon, Sage swung by Collin's research institution to sign the contract. Then, she headed back to Farsight Investment to meet up with Shane."Alright, since we're all done, let's get celebrating!" He appeared to be in a good mood.Sage politely turned him down. "It's alright. We'll have plenty of opportunities to celebrate in the future.""But that's that, and this is this," he said. "I've already canceled all my plans for the day. You're coming with me, whether you like it or not.""Are y

It turned out that he wanted to join in on the fun. Sage rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. The pair arrived at an exotic restaurant that was quite remote. It took them almost an hour to get there.Sage grumbled, "Seriously? We came all this way just to eat this kind of food? Why didn't we just go abroad at this point?""Good point." Shane then asked, "Do you have your passport on you? Let me book a flight now." Sage was rendered speechless. The restaurant might've been far, but its environment more than made up for it. The decor was truly one of a kind. The pair walked upstairs, and Shane chose a spot in the courtyard. It was adorned with all sorts of strange flowers and exotic plants, and it was surrounded by a fence. The restaurant seemed like a peaceful retreat amidst the bustling city. The duo placed their orders, and Shane got up to take a call outside, leaving Sage to fiddle with her phone. Ian had yet to respond to her messages. She tried calling him, but it went s

Sage rose to her feet and walked over to the side before answering the phone. "What's the meaning of this, Ian Holcomb? Why'd you go on a business trip all of a sudden? Weren't we supposed to get the divorce certificate today?"Ian sounded as indifferent as ever. "Something came up.""When are you coming back?" she asked.He responded, "It depends. If everything goes well, I'll be back in two weeks.""TWO WEEKS?" Her sudden increase in volume caused nearby customers to look over. Sage dropped her voice to barely more than a whisper. "Why is it taking so long? You're not purposefully dragging out the divorce, are you?"Divorce, divorce, divorce. Ian was getting tired of that phrase. "I've been on a plane for over ten hours, Sage. I haven't even had time to rest since I landed. Can't you just give me a break?"Sage was frustrated as well. "Well, who asked you to just up and leave? I couldn't find you anywhere. I'm the one who can't catch a break!""Oh, so you're going to die just

"Let's go," Shane said.Sage hastily turned him down. "It's alright. There's so much good food here. It would be a waste not to eat it. You go ahead. I'm still hungry."He didn't insist after he heard that. He got up and left. Sage felt relieved as she watched him walk away. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to eat in peace because she would have to constantly worry about him setting her up. No wonder Shane chose this place. The food was delicious and authentic. Moreover, the restaurant was clean and hygienic. Sage savored each bite and ate until she was full and satisfied. She then headed downstairs to hail a cab after settling the bill. When she passed the private dining rooms, she noticed one with its half-ajar door. She saw Henry inside entertaining a group of friends. The small room held a dozen people, all of whom were constantly toasting and showering Henry with compliments.Henry had his arm around a woman as he accepted everyone's toast. Sage pulled out her phone a

Wanda's expression changed drastically when she heard that. "Are you moving out, Mrs. Holcomb?""Yes. Ian and I have agreed to divorce, so I can't stay here anymore." Sage then extended an invitation. "Wanda, you could resign and come with me when I've bought a house and moved in."Initially, she had planned to move back to her grandfather's place. However, her grandfather's suburban home was too far away from Farsight Investment. Since Sage had to start work soon, she decided to buy a house near the company. It would be more convenient that way.Wanda seemed nervous after she heard that. She hurriedly asked, "What did you just say, Mrs. Holcomb? Aren't you and Mr. Holcomb getting along well? Does Mr. Holcomb know you're going to move out?""I'll tell him," Sage said as she motioned for the movers to accompany her upstairs. She didn't think she had a lot of belongings. She had previously asked Wanda to get rid of a bunch of clothes, and from the remaining ones, she chose a few

Ian didn't answer Sage. Instead, he said coldly, "I'll give you two hours to move back to Solaris Estate, or else my offer will expire and be void."Sage couldn't stand his condescending tone. "It's alright. I like money, but I'd rather not be tied to you in this marriage. I can earn my own money. I don't need to be controlled by you," she sneered.Ian was at a loss for words. "Have you forgotten about what happened just two days ago?"Of course, she hadn't. "I won't get into any other accidents now that Benjamin has been detained. Besides, I can't just stay locked up in Solaris Estate out of fear.""Sage, I'm just asking you to go back home for a couple of weeks. Can't you just wait for me to come home from my business trip?" His tone was increasingly angry.Sage responded, "Because I don't want to stay there for a minute longer."She might have endured it if she had heard about this before she moved out. But now that she had already moved out and tasted the freedom she had long

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
