The hall was abuzz with speculation and shock at Ian's bid. Previously, the bidders had merely increased their bids by small increments, but Ian had immediately doubled Abby's.

Someone surmised, "Why would Mr. Holcomb attempt to outbid Ms. Sutton, especially knowing her interest in the brooch? Is he planning to win the bid and gift her the brooch to woo her?"

"I heard the Suttons are interested in a project in Haldon City, and they intend to discuss a partnership with Holcomb Corporation. It makes sense for Mr. Holcomb to display his earnestness toward his potential business partners."

Were the Suttons debating on a business partnership with the Holcombs? Sage could not recall this event happening in her past life.

Observing her silence, Michael leaned in and whispered, "Ms. Joyner, please disregard the speculations. I think he bid on the brooch for you."

Sage smiled gratefully at him. "That's kind of you, but you don't have to comfort me. He has the freedom to give the brooch to

    Ian frowned when he noticed his father with Ivy. In contrast, Calvin enthusiastically greeted Leo. "Leo, you're back in the country! I haven't seen you in a while. You haven't aged a day!"Leo carelessly nodded at Calvin to acknowledge the latter's ingratiating remark. He then said, "Calvin, please leave for now. I need to have a chat with Ian."Calvin understood that he should excuse himself. "Alright, Leo! I'll leave now. Let me know when you're free, and I'll throw you a welcome home party!"After Calvin left, Leo marched into Ian's office while Ivy stood frozen at the door. She cast a timid glance at Ian.Leo urged her, "Ivy, come on in. Why are you still at the door?" She hurriedly obliged.Ian frowned. "Dad, why are you back in the country?"Leo growled at him, "If I don't, you might send Shekdotter Inc. into Sage Joyner's hands and let her do whatever she wants with it!"Looking composed, Ian said, "You're overreacting. I have not interfered in Shekdotter Inc.'s matters."

    Ian shot her an unemotional look. "What more do you want to say to me?"Still as gentle as usual, she did not fluster under his imposing attitude. She casually took a seat on the couch and began, "Ian, I told you that I was not capable of looking into the Strombergs alone, let alone meddle with the Joyners' business affairs."Ian's expression remained stoic. Under his frosty gaze, she chuckled. "Ian, you don't seem surprised. Did you know about it?"Right. You must have looked into the matter judging from how much you care about Sage. If that's the case, then trust me when I say I didn't comply willingly. I did it on your father's request.""Why did he ask you to carry it out, and why did you accept his request?" Ian questioned.She shook her head. "I have no idea. I tried asking him a few times, but he told me to keep out of it."She added, "Ian, Dad and I owe your father a favor. I have no choice but to do anything he requests. You knew it but never called us out. Is it because

    Ivy's questioning was making Ian lose his patience. "I don't care what your reasons behind it were. You still did it! Do you think you can sweep this under the carpet just by saying you had no choice?" said Ian. Watching Ian's icy expression, Ivy suddenly laughed maniacally. "That's right! I did it! If you really have feelings for Sage, how could you hate her just because of something someone else said? How could I have ruined your relationship if it wasn't already weak in the first place?"I just made Delilah humiliate me a few times, but you believed that Sage was the one behind it! It was also your decision to keep me company at the hospital when I was injured! "Ian, you're the one who hates Sage, and you're the one who's being heartless to her. What have I done wrong? My actions cannot hurt her. Do you really think you can pin all the blame and fault on me?" Ivy mocked. Ian was stunned, and he suddenly found it hard to breathe. He couldn't help but think of that day in S

    "Ms. Joyner, I went to see Ronald Shekdotter at the hospital earlier. He seems to be in a lively mood although his legs aren't doing well. "He even showed off that nobody could take advantage of him now that Ian Holcomb's father is back. Will the Shekdotters take this chance to rise again?" asked Henry worriedly.Henry couldn't wait to drive the Shekdotters' company into the ground and take it over. He had been very close to realizing this wish before Leo Holcomb came into the picture."Have you managed to get the Shekdotters involved in that overseas project?" asked Sage."Now that something's happened to Ronald, and Ivy is being investigated by the police, the project hasn't been approved because the person in charge doesn't want to get so involved," said Henry."Give a harder push now that the situation is stable," said Sage.If Ivy could ruin the Joyners this way, then Sage could do the same and make sure that the Shekdotters never recovered. Sage headed to the gymnasium a

    Wilson frowned at his mother's imposing tone and said, "Didn't you hear what Dr. Gates said? We're just colleagues. Besides, I just got divorced, and I have no plans to remarry."Wendy looked obviously displeased, but she didn't say anything more because Lana was present. She asked Wilson to stay back after Lana left after dinner. "Wilson, why did you say that? What do you mean you have no plans to remarry? Don't tell me you'll stay single for life. Can't you see that Lana likes you and that she wants to reconcile with you?" asked Wendy."No. We're just colleagues and nothing more," said Wilson."Are you trying to piss me off? You never dated although you and Lana have broken up for so many years. Weren't you waiting for her? She's already come back to your hospital voluntarily. Why are you still playing hard to get?" demanded Wendy."I wasn't waiting for her. We broke up on good terms because of our studies and future paths. I never dated for all these years because I just didn'

    Tiana was as bright and cheerful as always, just like the day they first met at the cafe. Wilson had faced the divorce calmly and hadn't even let it affect his work. He slept and woke up as usual every day and went to work punctually.However, he started losing calm after telling his mom that he had married Tiana because he loved her. It was as if some emotions had been let out from his heart and were calling out to him relentlessly. After drawing lots, it was decided that Tiana's team would play first. They were going against a strong opposing team. On the court, Tiana played hard and worked extremely well with her teammates.She played especially closely with a good-looking man. They would cheer and high-five each other every time their team scored.It was Wilson's first time seeing Tiana so confident and outstanding. To him, she was the star of the entire game. The match finished half an hour later and Tiana's team won by a good few points. "Tiana, you're so cool! You're

    Tiana looked up and asked, "Is there anything else, Dr. Wilson?"Tiana looked as if she were talking to a stranger. There was none of her past excitement in her eyes when she looked at him. Wilson felt an ache in his heart. "I took a few days off work because I hurt my hand. Are you free to watch a play with me in the city?" Tiana still did not ask him how he had hurt his hand. She merely said, "I'm very busy."Wilson would usually stop talking in a situation like that, but he didn't want Tiana to leave just like that. He added, "It's that play that you like—The Handmaiden. The actors are also famous…""Dr. Wilson, actually, I don't like to watch plays. I only pretended to like plays just to go with you. I prefer hiking or cafe hopping to sitting in a theater for a few hours. "That's why your mom is right. An uneducated person like me only has lame hobbies. You'd better ask someone from your world to watch the play with you," said Tiana. Then, she turned around and headed

    Tiana concluded, "Humans naturally seek pleasure and avoid pain. Since I've already escaped from that hell hole, I don't want to go back and suffer anymore." Sage thought that Tiana was just pretending to be okay and hadn't let go of Wilson, so she was sincerely happy for Tiana after hearing her thoughts. "Calvin called you head nurse today. Did you get promoted?" asked Sage."Something of the sort. The director gave a hint, so I think I'll be promoted if everything goes according to plan," said Tiana."Congratulations! First, you got divorced. Now, you're getting promoted! It almost makes me jealous." Tiana joked, "You don't have to be jealous. You could be promoted to the highest position if you wanted it and become the head of Farsight Investment."Soon, they arrived at Bayview. After Sage parked her car, she spotted Ian outside the building. He was standing by a lamppost near the entrance and talking on the phone. He looked extra tall under the lamp light. "You don't n

    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
