A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 71
Sage then continued learning more about Mimosa's current predicament. Priscilla still had other things to attend to, so Sage got up and said, "Don't worry about anything, Priscilla. I will always support you. Leave the funding part to me. I'll think of something.""You've always been a good friend to me," Priscilla said with a chuckle. "I'm eternally grateful that you're willing to help out. But I know that with Mimosa being where it's at now, nobody would ever want to invest in it anymore."Sage understood what Priscilla was trying to say. Nonetheless, she sincerely hoped that she would be able to help the latter out of this pinch.After coming out of Mimosa, Sage received a call from Tiana. As it turned out, she'd also read about the news on Mimosa."How could Benjamin do such a thing? It's unbelievable! How could he do such dirty, shady things while pretending it was all charity work for him? I wonder if the police are going to question him about it!"Tiana sounded furious on

Sage was speechless for a bit. "You're missing the whole point."Tiana suddenly burst out into laughter. "You don't have to worry about me. Wilson only has work on his brain, nothing more, nothing less. "Even the prettiest classmate sitting next to him means nothing. Otherwise, he would never have had to resort to marrying a blind date!"Sage wanted to knock some sense into Tiana. "It doesn't hurt if you just paid a little more attention to your husband's dating history. Get him some food or drink now. It'll show that you care for him. Besides, you'll also get a different perspective to continue eyeing that woman.""Alright, alright! I'll go now if that's what it takes for you to shut up about it."After ending the call with Tiana, Sage still couldn't help feeling antsy about it. So, she sent Tiana a text message that said, "I remember you said your mother-in-law likes emerald jewelry. Lathuyria is famous for its emerald jewelry. Maybe you should get her an emerald bracelet as a

"My eyes! Who's throwing things at me?"The dusty cement water had entered Sandra's eyes, stinging her so badly that she pounded her fists against the door as she screamed and cursed at it.Sage took her time to wash her hands and clean up the sink before sashaying out of the bathroom.Before she left, she grabbed the sign that said "Under Maintenance" and put it outside the bathroom entrance.Then, Sage called Michael up and said, "I remember you have a friend who's really good at hacking, right? Can you please get him to do me a favor? Ask him to wipe out the security footage from this floor in this mall for the past half hour."Michael was a little confused, but he agreed to help her. "Alright. Give me the exact location."Sage had learned of Michael's hacker friend from his social media posts. In her past life, she recalled watching an interview where the friend joked that he was a full-time musician and a part-time prodigy hacker.After settling everything, Sage finally fel

Sage stopped smiling. "Who said I was waiting for him? I just came downstairs to drink some water.""Mr. Holcomb called to tell me he won't be back tonight. He's out for work," Wanda said as if she knew what was going on.She urged, "Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Holcomb actually called me because he was worried you wouldn't pick up if he called you. He's actually reporting his whereabouts to you. "It's a good thing that Mr. Holcomb is moving back to the master bedroom. Why don't you stop being mad at him and put his belongings back in the master bedroom?"Sage replied, "Why don't you clear out the guest bedroom for me, and I'll let Ian have the master bedroom to himself?" That left Wanda speechless.Sage went back to her room with a glass of water and texted Michael. "Help me thank that friend of yours. I'll treat both of you to lunch next time."Michael replied, "You're welcome. It was no big deal."He never once asked Sage what happened nor why she wanted to tamper with the CCTVs. Thi

The bodyguards didn't seem surprised by this. After escorting Sage over to Shane, they left the office."Have a seat, Ms. Joyner." Shane had his legs propped up on his desk while he swiveled a wine glass in hand. He said in a playful tone, "Do you know why I asked you to come here?""Not really," Sage replied calmly. "I also want to apologize for what happened with Priscilla last time. I misunderstood you."Shane scoffed. "At least you know to apologize first. Don't you think Ian should also apologize to me for wrecking my bar?"Sage knew Shane was looking for a bone to pick. She said begrudgingly, "I'm sorry. I didn't know Ian would bring his men over or cause such a big commotion."Sage only apologized, not mentioning the fact that Shane had wanted to abduct her prior.Sure enough, Shane's mood lightened up. He pointed at a large bottle of XO on the bar's countertop and shot Sage an amused look. "If you know you're in the wrong, you should behave accordingly, too. "Finish tha
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 76
What kind of man was Ian? He wouldn't listen to Sage, nor would he ever apologize to Shane. It was basically a fever dream."If that's the case, then the bet is off," Shane said lazily. "But I'm not an unreasonable man. You were sincere, so you don't have to finish all this wine today. You can do something else instead."Sage looked at him. "What is it?"Shane said, "A woman will come by later. Help me get rid of her."Sage thought she'd misheard. "Get rid of a woman? What kind of woman?"Shane didn't hide his irritation whatsoever. "An annoying, clingy woman whom I can't chase away."Sage guessed that this woman's relationship with Shane was no ordinary one based on his reaction.Shane must have been unable to get rid of her because of some family reasons, so he was using Sage to get rid of her.If it were just some ordinary woman, Shane would've already made her cower with that temperament of his. He wouldn't have gone to this length just to find Sage in the first place."Wh

Shane lazily swiveled in his office chair as he said, "Why don't we let her introduce herself to you?"Sage had never encountered such a crazy thing in her life. Did she have to kick away Shane's admirer as a married woman herself?Sage met the woman's suspicious gaze and asked, "Would you believe me if I told you that I have nothing to do with Mr. Morrison and that I'm not here of my own volition?"The woman clearly didn't buy it. She even sneered, "Do you think I'm an idiot? You must be here to pester Shanie. "Women like you think you can seduce him all because you're pretty. You've even come all the way here to his office. Didn't you hear that he has a fiancée already?"Sage didn't expect that the person Shane wanted her to kick out of his office would be his own fiancée!"I'm so sorry, I—" Sage was about to explain herself when Shane shot her a warning look. Sage had no choice but to change her rhetoric. "I didn't want to interfere with your relationship either, but Shane in

"I'm going to get you back no matter what!" Giselle cried before running out of the office, her eyes red.As Sage watched her leave, she said, "How rude of you to do this to your own fiancée, Mr. Morrison.""She's not my fiancée!" Shane hated that term. Then, he said coldly to Sage, "How polite of you to create this persona for me that's head over heels for you. You're really bold!"Sage didn't feel guilty about it at all. "I only did this for your own good. She would've been used to dealing with women who are infatuated with you if I pretended to behave that way. "Only by knowing that you have feelings for another would she have given up on you.""Does that mean I have to thank you?""Not necessarily. You can just be a man of your word."Shane was about to continue speaking when a bodyguard said from outside, "Mr. Morrison, the receptionist just reported that some police officers have entered the building. They suspect someone's being unlawfully detained here."Shane came to

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
