Sage asked, "Did you come to the hospital last night? Did Ian ask you about the baby?"

Shane got all worked up when she brought that up. "I was going to follow you here, but Ian had his men block my car. Someone had already spread the news about us by the time my men cleared the way. I spent the whole night attempting to suppress it to prevent it from affecting the stock market."

Sage was perplexed. "What news?"

"See for yourself." Shane tossed his phone at Sage.

Sage unlocked his phone, and a scandalous headline popped into view. "Two Men Vie for One Woman. Farsight Investment's CEO Covets the Wife of Holcomb Corporation's CEO."

The photo attached showed the three of them in front of the club. Ian was holding her while Shane was following after them. The publisher had also circled the bruises on Shane's face, claiming that he attempted to steal her but was beaten by Ian.

Sage was bewildered when she discovered photos of Shane and her entering the hotel lobby together last time.

    Last night's events made Sage realize that Ivy's machinations wouldn't cease as long as she was still married to Ian. Even though she had also set a trap for Ivy, there was no telling that Ivy wouldn't resort to underhanded tactics. For her freedom and the safety of her unborn child, she had to get a divorce immediately.As Ian's current stance was unclear, and it seemed like a clean break was out of the question, the only way was to appeal. Others might have been intimidated by Ian's influence and dared not help, but Shane was an exception. Shane snorted when he heard that. "Sure, I can help you. But you know the deal—you have to help me ruin my marriage."Sage responded, "I'll only play along with you in front of Giselle, Shane. We almost caused a huge uproar this time. I can't imagine how much worse things will get if I intervene in your marriage."He scoffed. "Do you think I won't suffer any losses if I help you out? Do you think Ian's someone who can be trifled with? God kn

    Just last night, Ian and Shane were fighting side by side against the same enemy. But now, they were ruthlessly beating each other up. It was clear that they had fought each other before as they were targeting each other's weak spots with every move.Shane, who was caught off guard and received a punch from Ian, was clearly at a disadvantage because of the injury on his forehead. After a few more exchanges, Ian stretched out his long leg and delivered a powerful kick to Shane. The latter lost his balance, staggered back, and fell to the ground. Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. Sage came to her senses when she realized that Ian was going to strike him again. "Stop it!" she shouted before she stepped in front of Shane. "Have you lost your mind, Ian? Why are you attacking him?"Ian's face turned grim as he watched Sage stand in front of him with her arms outstretched. He couldn't believe that she was protecting Shane right in front of him. After all, she had shielded him

    Tiana was shocked when she arrived at the ward and learned about the afternoon's events. "Ian actually got into a fight with Shane? Sounds like he went ballistic out of jealousy.""Don't exaggerate." Sage shot her a look. "Anyhow, Shane has agreed to help me find a lawyer. I'll start the divorce proceedings once I've ironed out the details with the lawyer in the next few days."Tiana inquired, "Are you sure about this? Once you file for divorce, you'll have to face each other in court."Sage bit her lip. "I don't want to do this either. I thought we could get a divorce after Grandma's birthday, but Ian hasn't signed the agreement, and I don't want to drag this out any longer."Then, she told Tiana about her plan to go abroad. "I kind of get why my mother did what she did. I probably won't get married again, so it might be better for me to have the baby and raise it on my own.""Do you think your grandfather would be okay with this?" Tiana asked.Sage lowered her gaze as she knew

    Tiana should know what was going on since it involved Sage. Tiana answered the phone promptly. "What's up, Mr. Luther?""Ms. Ford, did something happen between Ian and Mrs. Holcomb? Ian invited me out for a drink. He looks terrifying, but he wouldn't tell me anything."Tiana pondered for a moment before she told Calvin everything that had happened in the past two days."Mrs. Holcomb's pregnant, but the baby isn't Ian's?" Calvin was skeptical.Tiana would never betray Sage. "It was an accident. You should talk to Mr. Holcomb. If he can't accept it, he should just get a divorce."Calvin fell silent. He didn't dare to advise Ian to get a divorce. He returned to the booth after ending his call with Tiana. Ian had finished a row of bottles in the short time Calvin had been on the phone, and he was still pouring drinks down his throat. Calvin mustered up the courage to walk over and snatch the glass away. "Ian, you can't drink like this. It's not good for you!"Ian tightened his gr

    Accidents often happened in bars, so basic medical supplies were always on hand. Even though Ian was extremely uncooperative, Calvin applied some antiseptic to his palm and slapped on a few band-aids to stop the bleeding. Ian quieted down after that. He looked utterly drained as he leaned back in his chair. His dark eyes were unreadable as he continued to sip his drink. "Ian, are you sure you've looked into it thoroughly? Is the baby in Mrs. Holcomb's belly really not yours?" Calvin continued, "Mrs. Holcomb doesn't strike me as the kind who would sleep around."Ian's eyes turned cold as ice. "She admitted it herself."Calvin asked weakly, "Do you think Mrs. Holcomb might've… said that on purpose?""I heard Shane say that the baby is his, and that he wants Sage to marry him, with my own ears!"Ian couldn't help but want to throttle Sage when he thought about that. She was well aware that he and Shane didn't get along. Yet, she kept hanging around him and even got herself pregn

    Shane responded coldly, "Why else? You wanted to stand up for Giselle, so you did this to warn me!"Marcus chuckled. "What good would it do to me to spread rumors about you two? Elle wants to marry you. Don't you think my family would consider that?"Shane was stumped by what he had said. Unless he didn't want Giselle to marry him, he had little reason to do that. However, he didn't quite believe that Marcus had nothing to do with it. Marcus was a cunning man, and his way of doing things was enigmatic. He wouldn't go to the club for no apparent reason and get spotted by Sage. But if Marcus was telling the truth, who else could've planned Ron's retaliation and subsequent escape?"You don't seem surprised that I came to you, and you seem to know about what happened last night," Shane narrowed his eyes and said. Marcus responded calmly, "Because I read the news and figured you would get the wrong idea."I went to the club yesterday to meet a friend. He had to leave, so I followed

    "I'll be leaving Haldon tomorrow. I doubt I'll be able to persuade Elle to come with me. No matter what, she's my sister. Even if she's made mistakes, you can't bully her," Marcus said.Shane rolled his eyes. "She asked for it. That's on her, not on me."Marcus walked to the entrance without saying another word. Ultimately, he turned around and said, "Shane, whether or not Ms. Joyner's baby is yours, I advise you not to push too hard. Otherwise, Mr. Morrison might not be as lenient as I am.""Are you threatening me right now?" Shane arched his brow.Marcus responded coolly, "I'm just offering you some advice." He then strolled off. Shane watched him walk away. He couldn't shake the feeling that there was something off about Marcus, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.…Meanwhile, Sage sent the caregiver home to get some rest that night, but she found herself lying in bed, unable to sleep. Even though the ward was decent, it was still a ward. The lingering scent of dis

    Was he here to settle the score? Sage was well aware that she couldn't take on Ian alone. Her drowsiness had almost completely disappeared then. Quietly, she stretched out her hand and intended to ring the bell to call a nurse to drive Ian away. But before she could fully extend her hand, Ian grabbed hold of it. Wasn't he drunk? Why were his movements so precise?"What do you think you're doing?" he asked with a sneer.Perhaps he was drunk. He was speaking slower than usual, and his gaze was more assertive than usual. He looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.Sage certainly wasn't foolish enough to confront him head-on. Hence, she came up with an excuse. "I'm thirsty. I need the nurse's help."Ian stretched out his long hand and brought the cup on the bedside table to her front. "Drink up."Sage didn't dare to struggle since her hand was still being held tightly by him. So, she said softly, "It's cold. I want something hot."A wicked grin crept onto his lips when

    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

    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
