A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 383
"I'll be docking your performance bonuses for the month as a warning!" the secretary said before storming off."She's been so full of herself ever since she got promoted to the head of the secretarial department. It's ridiculous!" The woman, who had just apologized, scoffed. "I know, right? She hasn't been here for long, and she has less experience than us! If Mr. Zane hadn't pushed for her promotion, she would never be in that position!" another woman chimed in."Keep your voice down. There might be something going on between her and Mr. Zane," a third woman lowered her voice and said. "I heard that she was going to the front desk to get some documents, and Mr. Zane happened to see her. He asked her to do something, and she got promoted after a few days…"The women continued to gossip as they made their way to the restroom.Sage clenched her fists. She had wondered why Ian had willingly signed the divorce agreement that day. It was because he had planned for the secretary to kno

Ian's gaze darkened as he looked at the wry smile on Sage's face. He rose to his feet as well and reached out to lift her chin. His voice was cold as he warned, "Don't attempt to provoke me, Sage. It won't do you any good."His tall stature and imposing presence overwhelmed Sage. He forcefully kissed her every time he was seething with anger. Plus, he had gone too far in the ward two days ago. Her inner thighs were still aching at the moment. Sage was furious, but she knew it was better not to provoke Ian any further. She pushed his hand away and took a few steps back before she said coldly, "Ian Holcomb, I'm divorcing you, whether you like it or not! Do you think I won't be able to find another lawyer after you bought off the one I found?"Ian sat back down in his chair and smirked. "If you're not afraid that Shane won't be able to survive in Haldon, go ahead and try me.""You're despicable!" she snapped.Shane would be able to stand toe-to-toe with Ian in the future, but he was

"Are you going to tell Ian the truth, then?" Sage bit her lip and remained silent. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to cut ties with him if she told him the truth. "My head hurts. I'm going to get some rest." Sage lay down on the bed, clutching her head.Tiana didn't press further as she could tell that Sage was troubled. "Rest well. Don't overthink it. Everything will fall in place in due course."Tiana walked out of the ward, found a quiet place to call Calvin, and told him what had happened that day. Calvin was equally surprised that Ian was forcing Sage to love him. "Didn't you say you were going to have a word with Ian last time? How'd it go?" she asked.Even though he was well aware that Tiana couldn't see him, he still shook his head. "It didn't go well. He won't listen to me regarding this matter.""Then wouldn't it be more difficult for you to talk to him today?""Yep." Calvin sighed. "Ian's been groomed as his family's heir since he was a child. He's always

So she was here because of Farsight's scandal. Sage responded, "Shane said he'd handle it.""So you're not going to concern yourself with it just because he said he would handle it?" Giselle was furious. "He's real unlucky to have met you! Not only did his reputation get ruined earlier due to the rumors, but it also took him a lot of effort to shut them down! And now this has happened!"Sage was aware that she was in the wrong, so she didn't argue with Giselle.Giselle, however, assumed Sage was ignoring her. "What's with your attitude? Do you think I'm accusing you of something you didn't do? "I don't even know what Shanie sees in you that makes him bend over backward for you. You don't deserve to be by his side!"Sage responded calmly, "Ms. Rosethorn, this mess did start because of me, but a company will always encounter various situations in its operations. Since Shane has taken over, you should believe that he can handle these things.""Shut up! You might be able to fool Sha

Ivy's face turned red from Sage's grip, but she didn't back down. Instead, she struggled against her and continued to provoke Sage. "So what if wormed your way into Ian's bed and… got knocked up with his baby? You still can't keep it…""You despicable wretch!" Sage tightened her grip around Ivy's throat. Her eyes were filled with despair and hatred as she demanded, "How'd you know the baby is Ian's?""It's your fault… for gossiping about it… in the hair salon…"Sage vaguely remembered that there were subtle movements in the other private room when she learned about her pregnancy. So Ivy was there as well?Sage was seething with anger. "I'm going to divorce Ian soon. Why the hell did you come after my baby?""There was no way… I'd let that ticking time bomb live…" Ivy gasped before bursting into laughter.Sage couldn't hold back any longer. "I'll bring you down with me you wretched woman!" she screamed as she sank her nails into Ivy's flesh, drawing blood. Ivy's eyes rolled back

Sage, who was supported by the nurse, appeared frail. Yet, there was an almost obsessive determination in her eyes. Her fingers, which were clutching his sleeve, had turned white. Ian hesitated for a moment. Meanwhile, the wheelchair had already sunk into the lake, and Ivy was thrashing and screaming for help in the water. "Hurry up and save Ms. Shekdotter! At this rate, she's going to drown!" The nurse beside them stomped her feet anxiously.The whole incident had unfolded in the blink of an eye. The doctor and nurse were caught off guard, but they came to their senses when they heard the nurse's cry for help. One of them called the police, and the other looked for a rod. It was a mess."Ian—" Ivy called out from the surface of the lake. Then, she began to sink, as if she couldn't hold on any longer. Ian's expression hardened. Without any further hesitation, he pried Sage's hand away and swiftly jumped into the lake. Sage felt her strength drain away as she watched Ian swim

"But she's the one who killed my baby!" Sage couldn't help but feel like she wanted to drag Ivy down to hell with her when she recalled how she had called her baby a 'ticking time bomb'."Okay, okay. I get it. Calm down," Tiana comforted her when she noticed Sage shaking like a leaf.The former asked the latter to sit on the bed after the latter had calmed down a little. Then, she poured her a glass of warm water and said, "Here, have some water to calm your nerves."Sage shook her head as she didn't want to drink anything. Tiana brought the cup of water to her lips and coaxed her. "Come on… just a little sip. It'll make your stomach feel better."Sage had no choice but to open her mouth and take a few sips. The warm water eased its way into her stomach. Then, she felt her body warm up a little.Tiana set the cup down and helped her lie down. "Don't think about anything right now. Focus on getting better and keeping your emotions in check."Ivy did all this to break you down, not

Sage and Matilda had only seen each other on video call a few times, but they had never talked to each other besides simple hellos. Matilda and Leo had been married for many years, but she heard that they were essentially separated, even though they hadn't legally divorced. Matilda and Leo weren't living together anymore, and she didn't return to Haldon for Linda's birthday. This meant that she had long given up on her marriage. Hence, Sage thought Matilda would be able to understand her and help her with the divorce. The call went through, and Matilda answered the phone. Sage greeted her politely, "Mom, it's me, Sage."Matilda sounded surprised. "Oh, hello. Is everything alright? Why'd you call me?""I'm sorry for bothering you, but I need your help with something." Sage said weakly, "I want to divorce Ian."Matilda was taken aback. "Did something happen? You sound a little off."Her voice was gentle and steady. She sounded like a cultured and intelligent woman. Sage's voice s

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
