A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 785
Sage asked while playing with Thorn, "What is it, Ms. Sutton?"Abby, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "Leo is really serious about the idea of me marrying Mr. Holcomb."I've heard that Leo's been putting a lot of pressure on him lately. He even reached out to some board members to try to have him removed from his position as CEO."Sage paused slightly while petting the cat. Shane had previously informed her that Leo was contacting shareholders to target Ian and try to sideline him.At that time, Shane also guessed that Leo was trying to force Ian to agree to something. It now seemed that he was correct.Leo wanted to use this situation to force Ian and Abby into an arranged marriage."Mr. Holcomb is not the type to sit around and wait for things to happen."Over the years, he has achieved a lot in Holcomb Corporation, and everyone has seen it. That's why many board members support him. It's just that…"Abby hesitated for a moment.Seeing that Sage stayed silent, she continued

"I thought we became good friends after that. When I heard about your past with Mr. Holcomb, I took it upon myself to try and help you two out."If what I'm doing is making you uncomfortable, I'm sorry."Abby's sincere words made Sage feel like she was making a big deal out of nothing.Was Abby paying attention to her because of these reasons at the housewarming party before?No matter what, once a seed of doubt was planted in someone's heart, it would become very difficult to trust the other person completely.Sage maintained a polite tone. "Ms. Sutton, what I did was just a small favor. There's no need to dwell on it. I would have done the same for anyone else."So, please refrain from getting involved in matters between Ian and me in the future.""Alright, I understand. I'll be more careful in the future," Abby apologized sweetly before switching the topic. "Ms. Joyner, about that issue with Mr. Morrison last time, I still feel really bad about it."I said I would treat you
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 787
Hearing what Shane said, Sage felt a slight pang of bitterness in her heart.Shane once said that the people in the Morrison family were quite firm in their beliefs. Sage didn't know if George would relent.But Shane was determined when he arranged to meet her that time, with absolutely no intention of compromise.A lot of unexpected things could happen in a year. Plus, one of the conditions the Morrison family gave Shane likely included reducing or avoiding contact with her. Otherwise, Shane wouldn't be so cautious.Sage understood this clearly in her heart, but at this moment, she couldn't bring herself to speak such harsh words.She also switched to a more relaxed tone, saying, "By then, my career should have stabilized, and I'll probably have time to think about my love life."Just as she said that, Sage sensed someone approaching the door.Lifting her head, Sage saw Giselle there, holding a clipboard, as well as the graceful and composed Marcus.The office door was open, a

"I need to find the person in charge and get this sorted out right now!"Giselle hurriedly left, leaving Sage and Marcus sitting in the private room.Sage felt a bit embarrassed. "I'm sorry for making you spend so much, Mr. Rosethorn."Marcus smiled faintly. "There's no need to be so formal with me, Ms. Joyner. I can see that Elle is very happy working with you."She has become much more cheerful and confident, no longer acting like a spoiled princess and showing more consideration for others. We have you to thank for that."Sage said seriously, "Giselle herself is very talented. Perhaps you didn't notice her strengths before because you always saw her as a child."Marcus glanced to the side and remarked, "No wonder Elle likes you, Ms. Joyner. You are very sincere and have unique insights."Sage smiled. "People on the same wavelength can usually get along. I also like Giselle."Soon, Giselle came back and told Marcus, "Your influence isn't as significant as Mr. Holcomb's."I j

Since the last time Sage overheard Ian and Leo arguing in the study, she hadn't seen Leo at the manor again.She didn't expect Leo to come today.When Matilda saw him, the cheerful smile on her face faded a bit, replaced by a hint of indifference.Maybe because of Leo's strict demeanor, Sandy seemed to have become less cheerful. She moved over to Sage, who was the closest person to her.Sage gently took Sandy's hand to console her as she respectfully called out to Leo, "Mr. Holcomb."Leo's expression was always stern, and his eyes carried an air of undeniable superiority. When he heard Sage's greeting, he furrowed his brow slightly and gave a perfunctory nod."I told you not to come back without a good reason. Look at you, wearing that stern expression. You've scared Sandy," Linda scolded.Leo said, "She's spoiled by all of you, which is why she acts like a child. She's almost an adult now, but she has no opinions of her own and can't take care of herself!"Sandy shivered sligh

"Sage, is it because Ian treated you poorly that you want to be with this guy instead?" Sandy asked softly.Sage looked at Sandy. "Why are you asking, Sandy?""I overheard Grandma and Mom talking. Grandma sighed a lot and said that you used to really like Ian, but he hurt you a lot."Sage remained silent.Sandy continued, "Ian saw this drawing before, too. He seemed very upset and kept staring at it without saying anything."I asked him whether you would still come and spend time with me, but he didn't answer."Sage gently ruffled Sandy's hair and said, "Don't worry. What's between your brother and me doesn't concern you. Whenever I have time, I'll come to see you."Sage didn't know what Sandy was thinking of when her gaze became slightly dim."Mom also said that the issues between her and Dad had nothing to do with me. But I know that's not true."Back in Yremdale, when Dad went to visit Mom, they argued about things concerning me several times. Although Mom tried to avoid le

Sage didn't expect Matilda to suddenly bring this up. She tried to comfort her, saying, "Don't be sad, Mrs. Holcomb. You're taking great care of Sandy."Matilda shook her head, her voice tinged with bitterness and a hint of guilt."If Sandy hadn't been born prematurely because of something unexpected, she could have been very healthy. I can't make up for it no matter how much I look after her now."Although Matilda didn't explicitly mention what had happened, from her tone, Sage deduced that it had something to do with Leo. Otherwise, Matilda wouldn't have chosen to take Sandy abroad by herself.But it didn't feel appropriate to inquire about these personal matters."Sage, Sandy's father wants us to move back to the Holcomb Estate. I won't insist that you go there too."However, I'll still need your help with the incense. I'll bring Sandy to see you when you're available," said Matilda.Sage indeed was not planning on going to Holcomb Estate. But Matilda didn't necessarily have
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 792
There was a hint of disappointment in Ian's expression. "Sage, what do I need to do for you to forgive me?"He tried to avoid appearing in front of Sage because he didn't want to upset her. But whenever Sage saw him, she remained indifferent, showing him no warmth at all.Sage had already discussed this with Ian about this several times before and didn't want to talk about it anymore. "It's getting late, so I'll be heading back first.""I'll take you home," Ian said. Afraid Sage would refuse, he added an excuse, "I need to head back, too. I'll drop you off on the way."Sage didn't drive herself here. It was Matilda who sent a driver to pick her up.Even if she refused, Ian would probably just do what he did last time and wait for her in his car.So, Sage didn't say anything and went downstairs.There was no sign of Leo in the living room, and Linda had also gone to the chapel. Sage went inside to greet her before heading back outside.The night breeze blew in. Before Sage could

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
