Abby nodded. "Don't worry, Mr. Morrison. I too want to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."

Shane said nothing more to Abby. He turned to Sage, who had been silent the whole time. "I still have something else to take care of, Sage. I'll have the driver take you home."

Sage nodded. Even though Shane handled the situation in time, rumors still spread throughout their circle the following day.

After all, there were quite a few people who had seen the two lying in bed together the night before.

The voluptuous woman was a rising starlet, while Shane was the CEO of Farsight Investment and the third son of the Morrison family in Northeria. Who could resist the urge to gossip about such a scandalous story?

Ian was listening to a report from his subordinates and sipping his cup of black coffee to stay awake when he received a call from Calvin.

He had been working until dawn and hadn't gone home. He had also led a meeting that morning, so he wasn't feeling very well at the mom

    His first thought was that Terry must've heard wrong. Sage hadn't set foot in Holcomb Corporation since her last visit before their divorce. Why would she come here now?"Maybe Mrs. Holcomb found out that you're helping her look into the Colville incident and came to thank you?" Terry said, hoping to please Ian.After all, it had been a while since Ian had relaxed. His mood would have improved if Sage had taken the initiative to come over. Life would be much easier for everyone when the boss was happy."The cops in Colville told me that Mrs. Holcomb has also asked about their progress several times. It seems like she's very eager to locate those two men," Terry said. "Mr. Holcomb, if Mrs. Holcomb asks you about it later, are you going to wait until we've thoroughly investigated everything before telling her, or are you going to tell her what we have found out so far?"If it were the latter, he might have to organize the information just in case.Ian responded, "We haven't uncove

    "Ian Holcomb, when will you stop pestering me? I've told you that I don't have any feelings for you anymore. Everything you do just makes me feel sick!"Faced with Sage's sharp accusations, Ian let out a low chuckle. His gaze dimmed for a moment before going back to normal in a split second. His tone was indifferent when he spoke again. "Is there anything else you'd like to say?" Sage frowned. "If not, I'm very busy. you can see yourself out."Gazing into his dark, impenetrable eyes, she said coldly, "Even though Shane hates you, he has never spoken ill of you behind your back. He was the one who told me about Ivy's ordeal in the mental asylum. "He also told me that you had Sandra beat Ivy up to get revenge for me. He could've easily chosen not to speak up for you! "Shane isn't incapable of playing dirty. He just has better morals and principles than you!" With that, she stormed out of his office without sparing him another glance.Even though the office was soundproofed, she

    Would one really ruin one's own reputation and innocence just for revenge?Moreover, Shane just spoke in an aloof and cold tone then. He didn't say anything offensive or insulting. Did the woman really hold a grudge against Shane just because he failed to strike up a conversation, and then go on to orchestrate such a grand scheme?"Does Shane believe this reason?" Sage asked again.The assistant replied, "Mr. Morrison was also skeptical, but Ms. Yancey insisted that she intended to embarrass Mr. Morrison. Additionally, a staff from the Suttons admitted to having received money from her."Sage furrowed her eyebrows even more upon hearing this. She had always felt that things weren't that simple.Just then, Tiana called, so Sage ended the call with the assistant.Tiana heard about last night's scandal from Calvin and only now found the time to look for Sage."What the heck is going on? How could Shane stoop so low? Even when he knew you were there, he still messed around with anot

    "Besides, even if we've wronged him, so what? It's not like he hasn't falsely accused you many times before either," Tiana said.She continued indignantly, "He keeps believing Ivy's lies and blames you for all the trouble she causes. I get mad just thinking about it!"Let him experience now what it's like to be wrongly accused and understand how awful it feels!"Sage didn't intentionally want to get an eye for an eye back at Ian. Last night, when she saw Shane lying with another woman, she inexplicably thought of the unpleasant expression on Ian's face. It made her feel a bit suspicious of him.It wasn't until morning when the rumors about Shane started spreading, and she heard from Wanda that Ian hadn't returned all night, she immediately suspected that it was Ian manipulating public opinion.She was driven by anger, and without a second thought, she went straight to Holcomb Corporation to confront him.Sage had never even considered whether or not she might've wrongly accused I

    Shane wasn't convinced by Marcus's explanation. "Marcus, stop trying to brush me off with excuses like that!"Shane said coldly, "Last time, I ran into you and Giselle while having dinner with Sage. This time, Jane, who tried to frame me, appeared in the same teahouse as you. "And before that, you coincidentally met Sage at the emerald store. With so many coincidences involving you, do you think I'll believe there's nothing wrong?""Shane, these things are quite ordinary. Why do you think there's a problem?" Marcus asked.Marcus sat gracefully and upright. With a slight smile, he said, "You keep mentioning Ms. Joyner. Could it be that you're suspecting me of having feelings for her?"Yes, Ms. Joyner is beautiful and kind-hearted. Even someone as tough as Elle listens to her. But you and I have known each other for years, and I almost became your brother-in-law. I wouldn't go after the person you like."Marcus patiently continued, "Running into you at the restaurant and the emera

    After ending the call, Marcus put away his phone. He glanced casually at the photos on the table and picked them up. He took a quick look and then tossed them into the shredder.…Three days later, Sage found Shane in a private room at a clubhouse. He was drinking and playing dice games with some of his rowdy friends in the spacious room that even had a small stage where a pole dancer was performing.The private room was filled with smoke and noise, with the music blaring loudly. Sage decided not to go in and instead asked a waiter to call Shane out.After the waiter went in, Shane glanced toward the door. He said something to him and then continued drinking and playing games.The waiter came over and told Sage, "Mr. Morrison said he doesn't have time right now. If you need to discuss anything, please go to his office tomorrow."Sage ignored the waiter and went straight into the private room."Shane, can you step outside for a moment?" Sage walked up to him.Shane and his frien

    With nothing left to hold in his hand, Shane casually started fiddling with the cigarette box.After he slowly exhaled the smoke, Shane asked in a hoarse voice, "Sage, were you disappointed in me that night?""No," Sage said firmly, shaking her head. "I know you're not someone who loses control because of alcohol."Shane had an ambiguous smile on his face. "You saw me lying naked on the same bed with another woman, yet you didn't show any anger or lose your composure at all. Is that because you trust me?"Sage felt that Shane's smile seemed a bit strange, but she still nodded and said, "Yeah."Upon hearing this, Shane smiled faintly with a sense of self-mockery. "If the same situation happened to Ian, how would you respond?"How would she have responded? Sage was left speechless by the question.When she imagined Ian sharing a bed with a woman, with scratches on his chest made by her and lipstick stains on his lips…She felt her chest tightening at the thought of it.As for he

    Sage looked at him strangely and said, "Are you stupid? When I said I trusted you, I meant it. Why would I change my opinion of you because of something like that?""Yes, I'm stupid," Shane shamelessly admitted again. "Sage, go ahead and scold me a few more times!"Sage was speechless. She crossed her arms and said, "There's no rush. First, explain why you've been avoiding me these past few days. If you've decided to give up, then why didn't you just tell me bluntly?"Shane explained nervously, "I'm afraid you would mind, and I care about it too. I kept telling myself not to bother you anymore, but I couldn't help it… I just wanted to hold on for one more day. Maybe if you couldn't take it anymore, you would naturally be disappointed and stop paying attention to me."Sage rolled her eyes at him again and said, "Your way of handling things is truly considerate and special.""Sage, I'm really sorry," Shane apologized sincerely, his eyes seemingly filled with regret. "I won't do it a

    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
