A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 800
"You've already rejected my feelings, so don't reject this contract too. At least let me experience the joy of success just this once," Shane added.Sage was quiet for a moment before suggesting as a compromise, "Then, I'll consider you a partner.""I'm not asking you to buy shares. It belongs to you." Shane looked as if there was no room for discussion.Seeing Shane's persistence, Sage felt a bit moved.Trying to lighten the mood, she said, "Shane, you better not regret not investing. When I start making money, all you can do is watch."Shane flashed a devilish smile she hadn't seen in a long time. "Wanting to watch the woman I like succeed in her career proves I have good taste."There was a hint of ambiguity in those words, but Sage still replied in a relaxed tone, "I hope I won't disappoint Mr. Morrison's expectations."Shane looked at Sage's foot, wanting to get closer to examine it but restrained himself. He asked, "Does it still hurt? Have you applied any medication?"Sa
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 801
Seeing Shane's hesitation, Sage said, "If what you need to handle isn't very urgent, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving?"Shane had some matters to attend to, but he had not seen Sage for several days and was reluctant to leave.Just as he was about to nod, Sage spoke up again, "Didn't you brag at the hospital last time that your cooking is really good? How about showing us what you've got?"The taunting strengthened Shane's resolve to stay. Rolling up his sleeves, he decided to prove right then and there that he wasn't just talking big.But Shane was a guest, so Wanda didn't make him do all the cooking. Apart from asking him to make his specialty dish, she prepared the rest of the food herself.After being busy in the kitchen for quite some time, Shane served them a dish of pan-seared lemon butter sole.Giselle tactfully went to the kitchen to help as Shane placed the food in front of Sage.The flounder was pan-fried to a golden brown color and drizzled with lemo

After being rejected by Sage, Ian walked toward his car.Just before getting into the car, he glanced at the two carefully packaged cups of latte in his hands and got momentarily distracted.At this moment, a sweet voice rang out. "Mr. Holcomb?"Ian turned around to find Abby, who was holding a kitten."It's really you!" Abby exclaimed, somewhat surprised. "What are you doing here? Didn't you say you had something important to deal with and declined the dinner with my dad?"Ian briefly replied, "I just have something personal to attend to."Abby looked at the latte in his hand and said, "Mr. Holcomb, do you also like drinking latte? This is Haldon City's famous fruit latte. Usually, you have to wait in line for a long time to get it!"Ian didn't respond to her. "Ms. Sutton, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.""Mr. Holcomb, since we've already run into each other. let's have a chat!" Abby blinked playfully. "I know you and Leo have been arguing because of our arran
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 803
Ian wasn't interested in the cat's name, but Abby seemed quite eager to share, so he politely asked, "Why?""Because it was like a hedgehog at the time, all bristly and fluffed up! When I tried to treat its wound, it even bit me!" Abby said as she laughed to herself.Seeing that Ian wasn't saying much, Abby felt embarrassed and apologized, "Sorry, Mr. Holcomb. I can't seem to stop talking whenever I mention Thorn."Ian was somewhat distracted, thinking about Sage.She loved bunnies and pandas, and every time she saw a hedgehog, she just had to pet it."Maybe it's just in our nature as girls," Abby said with a charming smile. "Ms. Joyner likes animals too, right? I heard Mr. Morrison catered to her interests and even bought her a zoo…"Before she could finish her sentence, Abby realized she had spoken too quickly. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to bring this up and upset you.""There's nothing to be upset about. It's just a fact." Ian's tone was neutral, giving no hint of his emotions
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 804
Ian's expression was indifferent. "Sorry, I'm afraid I can't cooperate with you on this."Abby was slightly stunned, clearly not expecting Ian to refuse so bluntly."Ms. Sutton, please take your time to enjoy the meal. I will take my leave now," said Ian as he stood up.Abby didn't try to keep him. Instead, she spoke generously, "No worries, Mr. Holcomb. I'm friends with both you and Ms. Joyner."I won't stand by and watch the shareholders give you a hard time. I'll have a good talk with my dad soon and ask him to help you get out of this tough situation!"Ian didn't take Abby's words to heart and turned around to leave.…Another two days went by, and Sage's foot injury was mostly healed. There were only a few days left until the company's opening ceremony.With Shane's persistence, Shekdotter Inc.'s main assets had all been incorporated into "Breakthrough Investment".The company name "Breakthrough" was decided after careful consideration by Sage and Priscilla.It was also
A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 805
When Sage heard the name Ian from Priscilla, she was quite surprised.She didn't mention anything about Damsburg to Ian. How did he find out?At that time, Ian was probably still in the process of building trust with Ivy. Why would he choose to help Sage?Priscilla could tell what Sage was thinking. "It was just a guess at first, but later that night when Benjamin attempted suicide and ended up in the hospital, I asked Mr. Holcomb and confirmed it was him."Mr. Holcomb probably suspected Ms. Shekdotter before then but didn't tell you."Priscilla added, "Sage, this house you're living in was also arranged for you by Mr. Holcomb through me."Sage was taken aback once more. No wonder Ian was so familiar with her home's layout. It turned out that this place actually belonged to him!"Is Ian the friend you mentioned before?" Sage asked."Mr. Holcomb was worried that if you knew it was him, you wouldn't accept his help, so he asked me to assist him instead."You weren't satisfied wi

As the two chatted and laughed, they saw Marcus ahead. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a dark grey suit, exuding the charm of a mature man.Marcus also saw them and gave a slight nod with a smile.As the host, Sage stepped forward to welcome him. Shane also greeted him politely. Shortly after, a few businessmen pulled Marcus aside.Shane asked Sage, "Why is Marcus here? Did you invite him?"Sage told him about her having lunch with Marcus and Giselle a few days ago.Shane narrowed his eyes and gazed at Marcus, who was smiling not far away. "I have a feeling something's off about him.""Off?""It seems like he wants to get close to you."Sage was so shocked that she choked on her saliva and started coughing.Shane handed her some water. "What's with the big reaction? I've known him for a long time, and he never wastes time on meaningless things."Even though he used coming to see Giselle as an excuse, don't you think we're running into him a bit too often?"S

Priscilla and several politicians escorted Dale to his seat.Then, an employee came to ask Sage something, so Sage planned to walk with him to the side to talk.Suddenly, a rough male voice rang out. "You'll pay for this, Sage Joyner!"As Sage turned, she saw a man pulling out a bottle of red liquid from his coat and throwing it toward her.He was moving too fast for Sage to react or evade in time."Watch out!"Just when Sage thought she was about to get splashed with something dirty, a dark gray figure appeared in front of her to shield her.Almost at the same moment, the man who threw the bottle was kicked away and cried out in pain. The bottle fell to the ground with a loud noise.A strong smell of paint filled the air as Sage lifted her head in surprise. She discovered that it was Marcus who had stepped in front of her.The paint was splashed onto his back, leaving bright red marks on his collar and neck. Some of it even got into his hair and onto his cheeks, making him lo

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
