A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 433
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

"Sage, I've always thought you were special since the first time I saw you during my visit to Haldon City with Grandpa." Zachary gazed at Sage and continued, "Although I didn't contact you over these few years, I've heard a lot about you from Grandpa. When I heard you married a man you loved, I felt very envious of him. But all I could do was hide my feelings in the depths of my heart."When I saw you with your grandfather again in Colville, I realized that my feelings for you were still the same, if not stronger. That's why I came to Haldon City when Grandpa Joyner invited me. "I wanted to be closer to you so that I could ease your burdens. I set a one-year timeframe for myself. After one year, I would forget you and move on with my life. But after I heard that you got divorced today, I just couldn't stop myself from coming to see you. "There are the words that I've kept buried for very long. Sage, I like you." Although she had prepared herself for this, Sage was still shocke

Ian had been trying to find out Ron's whereabouts over the past few days because he wanted to know who was the mastermind. He finally had news. "Send some men over to get him under control first. I'll deal with him tomorrow," said Ian.Terry hesitated and said, "Mr. Holcomb, I think you'd better come to the office." Ian's frown deepened. Terry always knew his boundaries and wouldn't disobey him carelessly. Ian guessed that the situation must have been difficult. "Wait for me at the office. I'll be there in 40 minutes," said Ian before hanging up. In the yard, Zachary's emotions had toned down a little, and he was now talking to Sage in a normal tone. Ian had also calmed down a lot after Terry's phone call.He had come to ask Sage about the present, not to argue. If he had rushed up to her and grabbed her, Sage would most likely hate him even more.Since he was in a rush, he planned to just say hi to her and leave. However, he saw Zachary wrapping his coat around her shoulder
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 439
Not really caring about what was going on, Sage just closed the curtains and went back inside.…When Ian got to the office, Terry was already there waiting for him."What's the deal with Ron? Where is he?" Ian asked."Mr. Holcomb, have a look at this." Terry's tone was serious as he handed the documents to Ian.Ian opened the papers. Upon reading them, his usual poker face suddenly shifted. Terry picked up on Ian's change in mood and stood quietly by his side, not saying a word.After a moment, Ian continued to go through the documents.As he went over the photos, bank transfer records, and other evidence, his face returned to its usual composed state. However, his eyes hinted at a storm of complex emotions brewing underneath.After going through the documents several times, Ian tossed them aside. "Keep investigating. Let's find out what they're up to. I need to talk to Ron now," he stated firmly.Terry replied, "Got it. I'll arrange it right away. Mr. Holcomb, we've also g

After Grandpa left, Sage seemed a bit puzzled and asked, "Madam Matilda, what brings you here?"Matilda didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Sage, how are you feeling now? Are you doing better?""I'm doing alright now. The doctor's been treating me every day," Sage replied.She then added, "I was actually thinking about dropping by to see you and Grandma sometime. I didn't expect you to come by yourself.""Good to hear you're feeling better," Matilda said kindly. "I've been away from home for quite a while now and haven't had the chance to visit Mr. Joyner Senior. It's been rather neglectful of me, I must admit.""I'm actually planning to head back to Yremdale tomorrow, so I wanted to stop by and see you all before I leave," Matilda explained.Sage finally understood why Linda spoke so highly of Matilda's elegance and intellect. However, Sage couldn't help but wonder why Matilda had been away from home for so many years and hadn't shown any interest in Ian."You've only b

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
