A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 646
Henry's only talent was in deception and manipulation. He could get things done in a snap by bribing those driven by greed."Make sure they obey your commands. If Ivy tries anything on me later, make sure they treat her the same way!" Sage's voice was cold and resolute.Henry, who also harbored deep resentment toward Ivy, readily agreed upon hearing her words. "No problem. I'll be the first one to act when the time comes!"Henry was also inhumane and unscrupulous. How could he even entertain such thoughts about Ivy, his distant cousin? But there was no time to dwell on this now.Sage suppressed her disgust. "Quick, get the self-defense weapon from my bag." Ivy's next move was unpredictable. So, even though a few of them outside had been bribed, Sage couldn't afford to let her guard down.Henry was worried Ivy would arrive soon, so he loosened the ropes restraining Sage and handed her the weapon. Before leaving, he cautioned Sage, "You're on your own now. If things go wrong lat

Ivy said," Sage, did you know that people can be sold like livestock here? If luck is on your side, you might end up in the red-light district. Given your figure and looks, you could serve some clients once you shed your pride."Ivy spoke casually. It was as if she were discussing the sale of pets. "But if luck isn't in your favor, you could end up with severed limbs or losing some organs. Who knows, you might become a beggar or a plaything. It all depends on your fate."Sage felt a chill run down her spine as Ivy's words sank in. Her tone was gentle and cheerful. Goosebumps rose on Sage's arms involuntarily."Are you out of your mind? Do you think you can just walk away if something happens to me?""Hmph." Ivy let out a cold laugh as she held an iron rod in her hand. She extended it and pressed it against Sage's slender neck. "Sage, you mentioned Ian earlier. Did you think that he can save you?"The icy touch of the iron rod made Sage quiver involuntarily.Satisfied, Ivy smi

Ivy was boiling with anger. Just when she was about to take another swing at Sage, Henry ran into the room after hearing the commotion. "Didn't I ask you to do a search before tying her up? How was she able to free herself?" Ivy questioned Henry in a frigid tone. The viciousness on Ivy's face made Henry shudder. Immediately, he expressed his loyalty by explaining, "I did search her, Ivy!" He took a quick glance at the blade in Sage's hand. It was only about the length of a finger. He continued, "She might have been holding it in her hands all along, even while she was unconscious. So, I might have overlooked it."I'm guessing that she cut herself free from the ropes with the blade too. I'll tie her up this instant, Ivy. I'll make sure that she's bound properly this time!" Henry hurriedly said as he reached out for the ropes. "No need for that!" Ivy shouted. "What's wrong, Ivy?" Ivy put the iron rod aside. A smile spread across her frigid face. "Have you all had the beer fr

The few men beside them were aroused further by this scene. They quickly joined in. Soon enough, the rag in Ivy's mouth was pulled away. But, before she could make any sound, a different kind of filth was being stuffed down her throat. The warehouse was soon filled with the men's sounds of pleasure and forced groans coming from Ivy. Only a couple of minutes had passed. Sage hid herself in the corner as she held onto the iron rod and mobile phone that Henry had kicked to the ground. Her heart was still pounding. She couldn't calm herself down. She watched as the men tormented Ivy in every way possible. If she hadn't convinced Henry to bribe these few people, she would have been in Ivy's position! Ivy didn't deserve any pity. But Sage didn't dare to let her guard down either. She had paid off the men in the room. Even so, lust did not discriminate. She would never know if they would end up diverting their attention toward her. Ivy's men were also standing guard outside. S

Having read the room, Sage didn't budge. She repeated herself, informing the men that she had money and that she could offer them a higher payment. "Why should I believe that you have money just because you said so?" Then, a middle-aged man with an undercut walked over from the parking lot. His outfit made him look like a big shot. The two men with the batons nodded politely at him. They addressed him as "Mr. Tony" in a flattering manner. Tony Andretti looked Sage up and down. In Elstinian, he said, "Pretty women like you cannot be trusted with their words." He studied Sage with a gleam in his eyes. "Not unless you can whip out tens of billions this instant," he added avariciously. Naturally, Sage wasn't able to offer that amount. Even if she had cards or cash on hand, they wouldn't be enough to satisfy him. A muffled cry came from the warehouse. Ivy had probably heard Tony's voice from inside and tried to cry out for help. Tony took a quick glance through the doors, be

Sage, shocked by the two figures who charged at her, stumbled aside. However, she had nowhere to escape to as she was in front of the wall.Still, she would give the two men a run for their money, even if she was beaten up in the end. Before the batons fell on her, she screamed with her eyes shut and attacked them with pepper spray."Ouch!""Stop it!"The two men screamed at the same time. She also heard a stern chiding from Ian.Although one of the men missed the mark, Sage still felt a blow to her shoulder. After struggling to open her eyes due to the pain, she found Ian standing by the door.Clad in a suit, he seemed to have arrived in haste. There was a worried look etched on his face. Beside him stood a few men in black who looked combat-trained and a few local cops.When the police barged into the place, the two men who attacked Sage scurried away while covering their eyes. The men who were on top of Ivy noticed something amiss and picked up their weapons instinctively.
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 652
Meanwhile, Sage's cheeks were flushed from the suffocation. She had a vacant look, perhaps from fear or a reaction to Tony's words just now.Ian felt sorry and worried for her. He stated, "I'm not fooling you. Release her, and I'll give you anything you want!"Tony merely guffawed at the offer. "I don't believe a word from you Elstians! If I release her, you'll have me arrested right away. Even if I die, I'll drag her along!""How about you take me hostage instead?" Ian offered."You are tall and muscular, and I can tell you're good at fighting. Do you take me as a fool? Why would I swap my hostage with you?"Ian then made another suggestion. "We'll not stop you. You can head to your car. You can leave any time if you don't hurt her." After that, he motioned for everyone present to step away and make way for Tony and his gang to leave.Tony dragged Sage with him until he was out of the warehouse. Although the police were equipped with guns, they could not make a move for the ho

A look of surprise flashed across Tiana's eyes when Sage inquired about Shane but not Ian.Observing the fear etched on Sage's face, Tiana chose not to tease her about it and answered, "Shane must be doing some health checkups. I'm not sure about the details of his injuries, but his life is not in danger."Sage let out a sigh of relief. She would never forgive herself if anything happened to Shane."Take your medicine. You can visit him in his room later." Tiana helped Sage to lie down and gave her the medicine. Then, she informed Sage that Tony had fed her a potent drug similar to a sedative, which placed the recipient in a deep sleep. That was why Sage had slept for 10 hours.Sage woke up a few times during her long slumber, but she was unconscious and therefore had no memory of it.Sage fretted, "It's not addictive, is it?""No, it's not. But you'll suffer from some long-term effects. You'll also feel unwell in the short term." Tiana felt sorry for Sage. "By the way, you nee

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
