A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 429
"Grandpa, did something happen?" asked Sage. "They've found something on the incident," said Donald. Donald explained that Maven Corporation was in hot water over the tax issue because someone had reported them. What's more, the evidence had come from internal sources. At present, Owen could be granted temporary release because the tax department found that the evidence was fake. Nevertheless, other departments were still investigating the details, so Owen would need to cooperate with the investigation. Sage frowned. Who could have framed Maven Corporation?Owen, his wife, and Zachary arrived at the Joyner residence at dinner time. Owen looked weary after a few days of being investigated by the tax department. Everyone immediately began discussing the Maven Corporation incident. Owen suddenly asked, "Sage, what's up with Ian? Something so serious has happened, but he hasn't said a word.""Why did you come home to stay? Did you guys argue?" asked Susan curiously.Owen and S

Owen wasn't done venting his anger, but he had no choice but to control his temper since his father had spoken. "Sage, how much alimony did you get from the divorce?" Susan decided to change the topic."Why would you ask about that?" questioned Donald in displeasure. "Dad, I'm just worried about Sage. She's still young and naive. She may divorce Ian, but she mustn't lose out on a single cent!" Susan continued, "Sage and Ian were married for a year. His family's so wealthy. There's no way they wouldn't give Sage anything!"Sage knew exactly what her aunt's intentions were. In the previous life, her aunt had pocketed a million dollars from Sage's dowry while she was mentally ill. Without a doubt, Susan hoped that Sage would take as much money from the Holcombs as possible so that she could find a way to pocket it. Sage smiled and said, "Ian planned to give me some money, but I refused." "How… How could you refuse? Are you stupid?" Susan was furious. "So be it if you lost Ia

"What's the matter? Come on!" Layla said even more loudly. "My mother asked me to woo Ian like you did, and to even approach Mrs. Holcomb Senior!"Sage expected nothing less from her power-hungry aunt. Susan had made her daughter do it after knowing that Sage was hopeless. "Go ahead then. Haven't you always had a thing for Ian? Texting him from time to time and getting starstruck every time you see him," said Sage.Layla blushed. "I don't have a thing for him! I just think he's someone untouchable, so I just feel like talking to him more whenever I get the chance. I never had any ill intentions toward him! I've said this before. I don't want a guy you don't want! "Why did you divorce him? What am I supposed to do now?" asked Layla in frustration.Sage said, "Just tell your mom you won't do it if you don't want to. She can't force you. If you ever have any financial difficulties, then just come to me or Grandpa.""You're well aware of my mom's character. If I don't do what she s

Calvin was taken aback. He quickly found a quiet spot and said, "Sage, what are you talking about? You're divorced?"He was utterly shocked. "How could Ian possibly agree to a divorce? You're joking, right?"Calvin had seen the news online, but most of the comments were unfavorable toward Ian. He guessed that Sage must be the one behind it.Calvin knew that siding with either one of them would hurt the other, so he just acted oblivious about it and did not get involved. However, he never expected Ian and Sage to get divorced just days after the audio incident!"Why would I joke about something like that? You may also call me Ms. Joyner from now on," said Sage. "Miss… " Calvin couldn't bring himself to call her Ms. Joyner, so he said, "What happened? Why did you get divorced? Is it because of the baby?"He had heard from Tiana that Ian tried to force Sage to abort the baby, and he had tried to talk Ian out of it. But Ian just wouldn't listen. So did they get divorced because they

Calvin said irritatedly, "Can't you sit up straight?""What's the matter with you, Mr. Luther? Mr. Holcomb asked me to drink with him, so what's wrong with me sitting like this? Why are you so bothered?" retorted the woman."You… " Calvin sputtered."If you aren't going to drink with me, then don't ruin the fun," said Ian as he glared at Calvin. The woman smirked at Calvin and quickly topped off Ian's glass. Calvin was speechless. He didn't want to be the bad guy anymore. If Ian wanted to keep pretending, then so be it. Calvin went to sit down further away and drank by himself while watching the woman get Ian drunk. The woman secretly felt happy when Ian started to get drunk. She put down her glass and said flirtatiously, "Mr. Holcomb, I need to go to the washroom."A wave of dizziness washed over her when she stood up, and she fell on top of Ian. "Mr. Holcomb, I think I've had too much to drink. Could you send me home?" she asked coquettishly. She looked at Ian provocative

"I already warned you not to touch her child or she would hate you, but you just wouldn't listen! Are you happy now that you've lost her?" said Calvin. He quickly shrunk away for fear that Ian would hit him again out of anger and humiliation. However, Ian did and said nothing. Ian looked as if he had been slapped. He no longer looked fierce, and the icy look in his eyes melted away. Was that a look of… loneliness Calvin spotted?Suddenly, Calvin realized how harsh his words had been. Ian had been pretending to be fine all along, but he had exposed him. Calvin could only imagine how much worse Ian felt now."Ian, I…" He was about to offer Ian a few words of comfort when Ian stood up.Ian stood tall, but there was an air of sadness about him. He tossed his glass aside and walked out of the room unsteadily. Calvin chased after him to send him off, but Ian pushed him away and walked into the elevator. Calvin quickly called the driver to make sure that he was waiting for Ian downst

Wanda picked up the box and said, "Mrs. Holcomb bought this a few months ago, and she cherished it very much. She told me not to touch it. "I wonder why she didn't take it when she packed her stuff. Mr. Holcomb, should we ask her if she forgot to take it?"Ian said nothing and took the purple box out of the bag. When he opened it, he saw a pair of diamond cufflinks.The cufflinks were intricately designed, and the dark blue diamonds sparkled under the light. They were luxurious but not too flashy. They were exactly his style."Mr. Holcomb, I think the cufflinks were a gift from Mrs. Holcomb." A thought struck Wanda and she added, "Mrs. Holcomb kept going gift shopping during that period. She even made a scented candle. She said an important day was coming up, and she wanted to give you a surprise—""Wanda, I need a moment alone." Ian cut her off."Yes, sir," said Wanda. She then hurried off.Ian took out the cufflinks and found a dark blue card at the bottom of the box. He took

Zachary continued, "I've seen the materials, and I think only someone in top management could have access to them. I think it's most likely that Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan slipped up." Sage was shocked. "You're such a detective! Have you talked to them about this?"Zachary shook his head and said, "I wanted to bring it up at dinner this evening, but…" His plans had been interrupted by the news of Sage's divorce. Sage wanted to apologize, but Zachary sensed it and said gently, "Don't blame yourself. They're not calm enough to hear this yet. I'm sure they'll lose it if I bring it up so suddenly. It won't be too late if I gather more evidence and confront them a few days later."Zachary was always gentle and thoughtful. He had a way of making others feel comfortable. Sage stopped worrying and told him about Delilah being seen at Owen's study. "Uncle Lovell was behind the spice consignment. They weren't able to sabotage the contract at that time, so maybe they wanted to cause troubl

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
