"Of course not." Sage smiled when she heard that. "Not only are they close, but they are also business partners.

"Ian acquired Bolton Investment, a subsidiary of Holcomb Corporation, specifically for your daughter, Ms. Shekdotter. He also values her a lot.

"With such a good relationship, how could it be possible for them to never see each other again because of me?"

Ronald saw nothing wrong with that. "My daughter is very capable. Many have asked her to work for them. It's only natural that Ian would want to keep her!"

"Mr. Shekdotter, considering how great Ian is and how well he treats Ms. Shekdotter, I'm sure the both of them must've hit it off already.

"Even if she knows about my existence, it would be hard for Ms. Shekdotter not to be touched or moved by Ian, right?"

Before Ronald could respond, Sage added lowly, "Under these circumstances, isn't it possible that I'm seen as a thorn in her side, and someone she wants to get rid of as soon as possible?"

"I believe it's ver

    Ronald was furious when he caught on. "Sage Joyner, you almost killed my daughter, and now you're slandering her and ruining her reputation? I'll take you on, right here, right now!" He then charged at Sage."How dare you!" Tiana wanted to stop him, but she felt Sage tug on her skirt. Tiana instantly understood what she was up to. She allowed Ronald to shove her and stumble sideways. Then, she clutched her waist and groaned in pain.Sage recoiled in fear and dodged him. Ronald was already simmering with anger, and when he noticed that Sage dared to dodge his attack, his anger boiled over. He grabbed her by the shoulder and intended to drag her over.While she cried out, a stern voice rang out from the door of the ward. "Hold it right there!"The people in the ward came to their senses and looked toward the door. The man who spoke was tall and well-built, clad in a tailored black suit. His features were sharp and cold, and he had an intimidating and commanding presence. "What br

    Ian glanced at Ronald and asked, "What's got you so concerned, Uncle Ron?""I'm just curious. I'm not concerned!" Ronald puffed out his chest. "I have nothing to hide, Ian. Yes, I hired them, but I did it for Ivy's sake!"Ignoring him, Ian turned to the others and said apathetically, "I want you all to keep this to yourselves. I don't want to see any false reports."Even though his voice was quiet, his words carried a heavy weight. None of the people present dared to challenge him. All of them left the ward feeling disappointed. To their surprise, Ian's assistant and bodyguards were blocking their way outside, and they were told to delete all the footage they had taken that day. The reporters had no choice but to comply.It was only natural that Ronald, who was inside the ward, witnessed this scene as well. He was indignant. He had wanted to cause a scene and teach Sage a lesson, but it seemed like it wouldn't work now.Tiana had already risen to her feet. She ignored Ian and wa

    "Could you step out for a moment, Uncle Ron?" Even though Ian was looking at Sage, his words were directed at Ronald.Despite his reluctance, Ronald was aware that he had already rubbed Ian the wrong way earlier. He would only make things worse if he stuck around. Hence, he nodded and said, "Alright.""Ian, I'm heading to Ivy's ward now. Could you swing by later when you've got a moment?"Ronald pleaded, "I heard she's been in the hospital for a few days, but you still haven't visited her in person. Ivy—""I'll drop by later. You can go now," Ian cut him off.Ronald glared at Sage and left the ward without saying another word.After he left, Ian turned to Tiana, who had been by Sage's side the whole time, and said, "Ms. Ford, I would appreciate it if you could step out for a moment too. I need to have a word with Sage, alone."Tiana eyed him warily. "Mr. Holcomb, what do you want to talk to Sage about? She just underwent surgery not too long ago, and she's very weak. Plus, she w

    "Sage, I know you're upset because I jumped into the lake to save Ivy, but could you at least be a little reasonable?"Ian's tone was acrimonious. "How could I just stand there and watch someone die in a situation like yesterday's? Besides—""My bad. I forgot there's no point in reasoning with you!" Sage snapped.Then, she continued sarcastically, "You're probably going to tell me that even if it weren't Ivy yesterday, you would've jumped in to save them because your upbringing wouldn't allow you to stand by and watch, huh?"The logic was sound, but her tone was too snide. She made it sound like he was attempting to make an excuse for his behavior.Ian said through gritted teeth, "Ivy had an accident where she fell into water, and injured her lungs. It made her terrified of water. If she stays in the water for too long—""So what if she dies?" Her face twisted with hatred. "Aren't you tired, Ian? Why don't you just admit that you care about her a lot? Then, do us both a favor and

    "Why would Ivy go after your baby, Sage? She had absolutely no reason to!" Ian continued, "Giselle is Shane's fiancée. It's clear that she couldn't let you bear his child and made a move. Why are you turning a blind eye to the evidence?"Also, it's been almost a day and a night since the incident, and Shane hasn't shown up yet. Why is that?" His expression became ice cold as he asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"Sage's heart skipped a beat. Ian was undoubtedly more perceptive when it didn't involve Ivy. She wasn't sure if he would blame Ivy if she told him that the baby was his, but one thing was for sure—it would be harder for her to divorce him.With that, she sneered, "What are you attempting to say? Shane hasn't come to the hospital because he doesn't know about the miscarriage yet. He has been so busy lately because of you. I don't want to add to his troubles."When Giselle came to see me yesterday, she threatened me to get rid of the baby. If she had already arranged

    Who would want to help Ivy deal with her? Sage and Tiana discussed this for a while but couldn't come to any conclusions. After all, Sage had no idea who else she had offended besides Ivy."Oh, by the way, Sage." Tiana brought up another important matter. "Were you attempting to shift the blame onto Ivy in front of those reporters earlier? But Ian had his assistant delete all the footage from their cameras. Doesn't that mean all your efforts have gone to waste?"Tiana grumbled, "I swear that son of a bastard did it on purpose. He didn't even ask for your opinion before he ordered them to delete all the audio and video recordings!"Sage couldn't help but smile when she thought about how fitting that name was. "It wasn't all in vain."Tiana was taken aback for a moment. "Do you have another trick up your sleeve?""I wouldn't call it a trick, but I do have a backup plan." Sage pulled out her phone and toyed with it. "When Ivy's father walked in with those reporters, I secretly turned

    Ivy froze for a moment. Then, she turned over and looked at Ian. Ivy looked pale and worn out, and her eyes were filled with tears. As if she couldn't believe what she had just heard, she croaked out, "What's the meaning of this, Ian?""Exactly, Ian. Why are you asking Ivy that?" Ronald chimed in. "Didn't I tell you that Ivy just happened to run into Sage while she was out for a stroll?"Ian ignored them and stared at Ivy. "Did you tell Sage that you were the one who made her lose her baby?"Ivy's heart skipped a beat, but she tried to maintain a calm and composed demeanor. She had already learned from her father that Ian had gone to Sage's ward, so she was mentally prepared for him to come and question her. However, she hadn't expected Sage to tell him about the threats she made yesterday. Ivy assumed that Sage would've resented Ian and not uttered a word since she was so devastated. Why would she tell Ian these things?"So, was it you?" Ian asked coldly once again after Ivy sta

    Ivy suppressed her fear and sighed. "You might not believe this, Ian, but I did it for your sake."Then, she met his cold gaze and continued, "I thought it was a golden opportunity. If Sage had been rescued, her baby would still be alive. "Even though you've never said anything, I could tell that her pregnancy was eating you up inside. I don't want you to be unhappy, so I made that decision."Ian looked at Ivy. Her complexion was pallid, and her brows were knitted in pain. Yet, her expression was grim. It was clear that she had a hard time making that decision, but she didn't regret it."Don't you think that reason is a little far-fetched?" he asked lowly."It might sound crazy, but it's hard to explain a decision I made in the heat of the moment." Her eyes were filled with bitterness. "I admit that my motives weren't entirely pure. I've been in the hospital for days, but you've never visited me once. I know you've been having a hard time because of Sage."So I thought, if I cou

    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
