A bad feeling washed over Ivy when she saw Ian's unforgiving and determined expression. Had something gone awry?

It was Henry who brought Sage to Toledon for a project that existed in real life. Meanwhile, Ivy herself had a valid reason to visit Toledon. Not only that, she had been put through hell.

After Henry's death, why would Ian insist that she had something to do with the incident? Did he rely on Sage's one-sided account?

As Ivy was going through the possibilities in her mind, Ian pulled out a recording on his phone.

"You need to be extra careful. You cannot raise her suspicion before you arrive in Toledon. If you mess this up again, I'll send you and your mom to jail for life!"

Those were the audio recordings of her calls with Henry! Her mind went blank and her hands froze. Her scalp tingled from the shock.

"W- Where did you get this from? Someone must have been plotting against me!" She raised her voice. "This must be fabricated. Ian, you need to investigate it thoroughl

    Ian set a steely gaze on Ivy. "Since you insist that you're the sole culprit, you deserve to spend the rest of your life in prison for your vile actions.""No, Ian! Don't do this to me…" Ivy wanted to get up from the floor and beg for mercy, but she tore her wounds in her haste. She fainted before she could stand up.The bodyguard in the ward quickly called the doctor to check on Ivy. The doctor later confirmed that Ivy had not been faking it. She had really fainted from her grave injury and blood loss.…After Tiana and Calvin left, Sage had no mood for rest. Instead, she made her way to Shane's room. However, she hesitated at the door.As Tiana had said, Shane's feelings must have been genuine if he was willing to risk his life for her. Still, they were a huge burden to her. At first, she thought Shane was fond of her because she was fun to tease, not to mention he could spite Ian. She never thought he was being serious."Sage? Are you at the door?" Shane spoke from within th

    Shane was lost and confused. "What?"Sage cast him a puzzled look. "We've only hung out for a few months, and I'm not special. Why would you have real feelings for me?" Shane fell silent after hearing her words. "What does that even mean?" He would have tapped her on the head if he could move more. "Did you think my feelings for you were not real? Did you think I was just bluffing when I said I was into you?"She cleared her throat. "No one can tell the truth from a lie because you're such an unserious person.""Sage, you—" Shane was too dumbfounded and annoyed to speak.Sage knew that her question was unfair after all he had done for her. He helped her trick Ivy, bought a property for her, followed her to Southbend, and even tried to gift her an entire zoo. He had clearly shown his feelings through his actions, but she just never took them seriously.In the face of his anger, she cut the apple into cubes and handed him one. "Want one?""No," he said disgruntledly. "Sage, i

    "How cheesy," Calvin mumbled in a low voice by the door, but Shane heard him.He glanced at Calvin before purring at Sage, "Sage, that apple you peeled was so sweet. I want more!"Sage, Tiana, and Calvin were dumbfounded by Shane's behavior. Calvin immediately left the room with a feeling of disgust.At the same time, Tiana tried to hide her shock and said, "Um, Mr. Morrison, we'll let Sage keep you company then. We're off to grab a bite!"With that, she disappeared, leaving Sage and Shane alone. Feeling flustered, Sage teased him."Shane Morrison, can you please give me a heads up when you're about to put on an act? I need to ready myself."He scoffed nonchalantly. "I love annoying Ian's little brown-noser."…An hour later, Calvin met with Ian. He complained, "Ian, Shane is too much! He made up excuses to make Sage stay by his side, and he even made her feed him apples in front of us!" He was fuming at the thought of Shane's words to Sage. "Oh, you should've seen the way he

    Ian didn't answer Calvin right away. He was lost in thought as his mind was replaying the dream he had that morning. Everything in it had felt so real.Dressed in the drab garb of an asylum, Sage was a mere shadow of her former self. Her once robust frame had withered away, leaving behind a gaunt and haggard visage. Her once-sparkling eyes were now hollow and filled with despair. A sardonic smile played on her lips as she swiftly and decisively plunged a knife into her chest. Sage was already lying in a pool of blood when he came to his senses. He felt a chill run through his veins as the reality of what had transpired settled in."Ian, what's wrong…" Calvin looked at him in disbelief. Surely, he must've been seeing things. There was no way that Ian's eyes had misted over.He had been friends with Ian for many years, but he had never seen him like this. Ian looked like a lone wolf who had lost its mate. He was filled with remorse, sorrow, and an overwhelming sense of loneliness.

    He reasoned, "Just think about it, Ian. Mrs. Holcomb is tough as nails, and she always achieves what she sets her mind to. Also, she loves to doll herself up and live life to the fullest. How could someone like her commit suicide?"Ian didn't feel reassured at all. It was true that Sage loved life and all its beauty, but he couldn't imagine how hopeless someone who was as passionate about life as her must've felt to resort to committing suicide. "I thought you visited Ivy just now, Ian. How'd it go?" Noticing him slipping deeper into his thoughts, Calvin deliberately changed the subject. "Since you have incriminating evidence, why don't you just hand her over to the police and have her convicted? Why bother going through all this trouble to interrogate her?"Ian took a moment to gather his thoughts. "It just seems too much of a coincidence for these pieces of evidence to pop up. On the surface, everything appears to be in order, but I have a feeling that someone is orchestrating

    It was also about Ivy. Sandra took Henry's belongings and found a video of his phone. It was footage of Henry and a few other men forcing themselves on Ivy. Henry probably recorded it out of vengeance or to gain leverage. The video was incredibly crude and disturbing. It'd be a devastating blow to Ivy. After watching it, Sandra didn't think that her son had done anything wrong. Instead, she had someone upload the video to the internet, and it went viral instantly."A lot of people have seen it, especially because the internet outside Haldon isn't as strictly regulated. Right now, the headlines on several websites in Toledon are all about this," Tiana said. "Even though the full video isn't viewable in Haldon, news like this spreads like wildfire. I bet plenty of people know about it. This time, Ivy is done for!"Sage wasn't as optimistic as Tiana. Ivy still had Leo backing her up. Who knows what would happen if Leo got involved? As expected, Sage learned that Leo and Ronald,

    Tiana was never one to act impulsively. She always had her own plans. Both of them were alike. Once they made up their minds, they had to see it through.Sage was aware that she couldn't change Tiana's mind, so she said, "Alright then. Just be careful. Don't come crying to me if you get upset."Tiana didn't respond to her teasing and walked briskly out of the room as if she were confident she could make Ian regret his decisions.Sage sighed softly. Calvin had been urgently summoned back home by his mother earlier that morning, so she couldn't ask him to talk some sense into Tiana. Oh well, all she could do was let Tiana hit a brick wall.…Meanwhile, Tiana arrived at Ian's ward. The gunshot wound on his shoulder hadn't healed yet, and his face looked pale and sickly. He was sitting up in bed, reviewing some documents, and his assistant, Terry, was standing next to him.Terry recognized her and greeted her before tactfully leaving the room. Ian didn't seem surprised by her visit

    His eyes darted to the thin sheet of paper in front of him, and his whole body froze as if he'd been nailed to the spot. Tiana let out another mirthless chuckle before she told Ian that on the day Sage miscarried, she had asked a colleague to collect a sample of his hair from the towel he used to dry his hair after a shower and use it to conduct a DNA test."I know that Sage still has feelings for you, even if she says otherwise!" Tiana raged. "I thought that if you could win her back one day, I'd tell you the truth so you'd know that Sage had never betrayed you! But you can forget about it now! "I can't believe you can forgive the person who harmed your wife and murdered your child. You don't deserve Sage's love, not now, not ever!"Tiana felt the urge to kick Ian as she thought about the unbearable pain and sadness Sage went through during the miscarriage. "Do you have any idea how much Sage cared about that baby? She kept fussing over how to be a good mother and how to raise

    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
