A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 326
Ian nodded slightly and walked into the elevator. Ivy tightened her grip on her phone and walked toward another elevator.…Calvin was already there when Ian arrived at his office. The former wasted no time and handed the latter a folder. "Ian, I found out that Mrs. Holcomb's friend, Delilah Stromberg, has secretly been in touch with Ivy. Here are their call records and some photos from a café."Ian took the folder and looked through its contents. Just like Calvin had said, the folder contained call logs and several screenshots from the surveillance footage. "Were there any financial dealings?" he asked.Calvin shook his head. "I had someone look into it but couldn't find any. Ms. Stromberg has been spending a lot on designer shoes and bags lately. Plus, it's all from her own pocket."Mrs. Holcomb used to gift her those," he explained. "But she and Mrs. Holcomb had some kind of fallout recently. Mrs. Holcomb seems to have blocked her phone number as well."Oh, and Ms. Stromberg's

Sage turned him down without a second thought. "No thanks. I'd rather buy my own place."Calvin scratched his head as he could tell Sage wasn't in the mood to chat. "Mrs. Holcomb, although Ian and I are close, when it comes to your relationship, Ms. Ford and I are both rooting for you!" Sage found it amusing that Calvin had to emphasize that he was on the same page as Tiana when he expressed his support. "You wouldn't have a thing for Tiana, would you?" she couldn't help but ask.Calvin hurriedly said, "Oh, hell no, Mrs. Holcomb. Ms. Ford and I are just friends who hit it off right away. I would never have a thing for her!" Sage didn't think Tiana would have a thing for men like him either."Mrs. Holcomb, while I support your decision, if you think Ian doesn't care about you and you're only considering divorce out of spite, I'd still like to stand up for him. He does care about you. He's just not very good at showing it," Calvin added."Calvin really is Ian's close friend," she

Ian handed the documents on his desk to Ivy when he heard that. Ivy took them, gave them a quick once-over, and frowned in confusion. "These are all my call logs with Ms. Stromberg, and a picture of us at a café. What's the problem?"Ian asked lowly, "Did you arrange for Delilah to go to your place and make a scene that night?"Ivy seemed a bit lost at first. Then, her eyes widened in realization. "Hold on. Do you think I'd ask Ms. Stromberg to humiliate me just because I've talked to her a few times?"Her expression became solemn. "I don't understand why you'd have such doubts. I indeed know Ms. Stromberg, and we've met before. She has my contact number, but I would never pull something like that."Ivy explained that Delilah had taken the initiative to ask for her contact number and followed her on social media at a party a few months ago. Then, she learned from her posts on social media that Delilah was Sage's friend. Every time she posted a story, Delilah would leave snide a

"Who are these guys, Ian? Should I know them?" Ivy asked, puzzled. Ian remained silent as he stared at her. Realization then dawned on Ivy. Tears welled up in her eyes. "These guys crossed Mrs. Holcomb, so she's suspicious of me? Ian, I've kept my distance from you ever since I returned to Haldon because I was worried I'd cause you trouble."Ivy couldn't keep her tears at bay any longer. "I've put up with whatever Sage does to me, but I'm not that forgiving. I feel pain too. I just don't want to make things difficult for you…"Ian, what have I done wrong to make all of you doubt and look into me like this?" she asked with teary eyes. Ian's stern demeanor softened slightly as he noticed the scar on her forehead and her sorrowful expression. "There's no need for you to take this matter to heart since it's not related to you."Her eyes were still misty. "I admit that I used to have feelings for you. But ever since I found out you were married, I've only seen you as a friend. Ian, i

"Grandpa, Zack!" Sage called out gleefully."You're back, Sage." Zachary smiled warmly.Sage walked up to them and took a seat beside her grandfather before she asked Zachary, "Zack, are you here in Haldon to join Maven Corporation?""Zack's going to help us out at Maven Corporation for a year. Then, we'll see how things go," Donald responded. Zachary nodded. "I don't feel like going abroad right now since Grandpa's gone. Luckily, Grandpa Joyner invited me over, so here I am."Sage couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought about Thomas. "My condolences, Zack. From now on, consider us your family here in Haldon.""Aww look who's all grown up and knows how to comfort people now," Zachary chuckled and teased."Ain't that right," Donald chimed in. "My precious granddaughter's all grown up and knows how to worry about the family business now. She's been clamoring to hire someone trustworthy. She'll finally be at ease once you join the company."Sage smiled. "Of course! B

"Did you invite Ian as well, Grandpa?" Sage asked.Donald smiled and said, "Ian called me this afternoon to ask me how I was doing. I casually mentioned that you'd be dropping by later and asked if he'd like to join us for dinner, and he agreed."Sage was aware that her grandfather didn't want her and Ian to divorce. Otherwise, he wouldn't have inquired about their situation half a month after Linda's birthday had passed. He probably invited Ian over because he thought there was still a chance for them to make things work."How annoying," she brooded. When would Ian sign the agreement? If he dragged this out, Sage was afraid that it would only get harder to get a divorce. She was starting to seriously consider Shane's proposal. Soon, Ian walked in. He looked like he had just come from a formal event. He was dressed in a black suit with a crisp white shirt underneath. He looked calm and composed, even in such formal attire. His commanding presence made him impossible to overlook.
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 332
Sage was bewildered. What kind of nonsense was that? It was ridiculous enough that he mentioned Shane. Why did he drag Zachary into this?Ian could tell what she was thinking. He said, "From what I've heard, Zachary's doing pretty well on his own overseas. Why do you think he'd come and work as Uncle Owen's assistant at Maven Corporation?""Didn't he make himself clear just now? Which part did you not understand?" she asked.Ian narrowed his eyes. "He could've gone anywhere if he didn't want to go abroad. Why'd he come all the way to Haldon?"So he was implying that Zachary joined Maven Corporation because of her. She had only met Zachary a couple of times back in Colville, and they hadn't stayed in touch since. Ian must have been out of his mind!"Ian, allow me to remind you that we're about to get divorced. So please stop acting like you own me!" Sage snapped before storming out of the blending room.Ian followed her out, his lips pressed into a thin line. When the couple arriv

Sage hastily interjected, "Grandpa, we don't have any of his clothes here!"Donald asked, "What do you mean? Didn't you buy him a bunch of clothes and stash them in the closet?"Sage was tongue-tied. After all, she did do that. Sage bought him a few sets of clothes just in case he ever stayed over and didn't have any clothes to change into. However, Ian had never stayed at her grandfather's place before."He still has a lot of work to do. He needs to head back to the office," she added."Is that so, Ian?" Donald asked Ian.Sage glared at Ian. She was already annoyed when he showed up for dinner. "Don't you dare think about staying the night here!" she thought.Ian glanced at Sage and told Donald. "I do have some work I need to take care of." But before she could rejoice, he calmly added, "But I can work remotely through video calls.""Alright, then. Don't go back and forth. Just stay here!" Donald decided cheerfully."Grandpa, I want to stay over tonight as well," Layla said.

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
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 878
"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
