Before Dale could speak, the middle-aged man praised aloud, "Especially those eyebrows and eyes, it's like they were carved from the same mold!"Sage looked at Dale's sharp features and striking eyes.Despite being middle-aged, he showed no signs of aging. His face still carried a sense of vitality, clearly indicating that he must have been very handsome in his youth.Although Sage's own looks weren't bad, thinking they were father and daughter was just too far-fetched.Just as Sage was feeling awkward and about to explain, she saw Abby returning.Perhaps hearing the middle-aged man's words, Abby's smile seemed to falter slightly."Mr. Hall, you're mistaken. That is my daughter," Dale said as he looked at Abby and waved at her.Abby quickened her pace and walked over, wearing a sweet smile on her face as usual. "Dad!"Dale nodded gently and explained, "This is Mr. Hall from Silver Enterprise, the one I mentioned to you before. He was a bit late."Abby greeted warmly, "Hello, M
Sage smiled faintly, not wanting to discuss these matters with Abby. Instead, she expressed her gratitude to Abby for bringing Dale to the ceremony.Because Dale attended the event, many people viewed Breakthrough Investment's capabilities as quite strong. The opening ceremony drew a fair amount of attention because of that.As long as Breakthrough could secure a few more projects, they would eventually make a name for themselves.Abby said sweetly, "We're friends, so of course I'm going to help whenever I can! My dad happened to be free that day, so I invited him along!"As they were talking, Abby's phone rang.After she answered the call, the other person said something that made Abby very happy."That's great. Thank you, doctor. Let it rest for a few more days, and I'll come to pick it up."After hanging up the phone, Abby took the initiative to tell Sage that Thorn was injured.A few days ago, Thorn fell off the roof. It broke its front leg and also lost a tooth. The vet ha
Sage found it strange. Albert looked quite healthy, and golf wasn't a high-intensity sport. How did he get injured?After making some inquiries, Sage found out that the golf cart that Albert was riding in had a problem.While it was moving, it suddenly veered off into an artificial lake used for water storage and viewing.Albert was hit in the head by the impact, and it seemed his leg was also seriously injured.As an established and reputable golf course, such an accident shouldn't have occurred. Indeed, many people at the scene voiced their dissatisfaction and raised concerns about the course's safety.Regarding Albert's injury, Sage couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, though she couldn't put her finger on it.The staff were maintaining order at the site.Meanwhile, seeing that it was getting late, Sage invited Gordon to have dinner together. Given the warm invitation, Gordon did not decline.A few people got onto a golf cart and left the lawn, returning to the
Ian didn't respond to Abby's words but instead turned to Sage and said, "Shall I take you home?""No need," Sage declined. "I have a dinner appointment with a client. I'll go in and change my clothes first."Even though Ian wanted to chat more with Sage, he noticed that she kept checking the time, so he wisely decided not to hold her up any longer."Alright, be careful," Ian reminded.Sage wasn't quite used to such tenderness from Ian. She didn't respond to him, nodded at Abby, and then headed to the dressing room.In the lounge, Abby noticed that Ian's gaze was still fixed on Sage's departing figure.In a sweet voice, she said, "Mr. Holcomb, you're so devoted to Ms. Joyner. Sooner or later, she'll be moved by your feelings."Ian remained silent. Although Sage had been less resistant to him lately, she was still far from being moved."I told my dad that we needed to finalize the partnership between the two companies. But he just laughed and wondered why I'm in such a hurry to h
Hearing this, Ian did not immediately respond but instead looked at Sage.Sage said in a calm voice, "Weren't you in the middle of an important meeting? You should hurry up and go."Ian wasn't surprised by Sage's response. He apologized to Gordon, saying, "Sorry, we'll have to do it another day."Gordon immediately laughed and said it was no problem. He even mentioned making plans for next time.After Ian left, Gordon shifted from his previously high-handed demeanor and became warm and attentive toward Sage.During the meal, he complimented Sage and even suggested they should collaborate.Naturally, Sage knew the reason behind Gordon's change in attitude."Thank you, Mr. White, for your trust," Sage said with confidence. "We will promptly prepare a feasible investment proposal and deliver it to your company."Once you've reviewed it, if you believe in our capability and strength to collaborate, it would indeed be a cause for celebration for both sides."But if you're only will
"Calvin is doing great. He's getting more skilled and efficient with his tasks," Sage praised.Tiana thought about how Calvin said he wanted to become a successful man and give her a strong sense of security. It made her feel warm and happy inside.Sage obviously noticed how happy Tiana was and asked, "Isn't your aunt in the neighboring city? Why don't you go visit with Calvin and let him meet her?"Tiana was still a bit hesitant. "Let's spend more time together and see how it goes. There's no need to rush."Sage asked, "You're not still thinking about Wilson, are you?""No way!" said Tiana. "Since I decided to be with Calvin, there's no way I'd still think about anyone else."I just feel that Calvin is too perfect. I always feel like this is a dream, afraid that the bubble will burst one day."Hearing that, Sage couldn't help but hold onto Tiana's arm. "There you go again. You mustn't belittle yourself. He's great, but you're wonderful, too!""Yeah, you're right!"The two of
Tiana looked at Wilson. "Do you need something?"Tiana's radiant face and calm demeanor left Wilson at a loss for words. He felt a wave of panic inside and instinctively wanted to call out to her.Tiana noticed what Wilson was thinking. She smiled gently and said, "Congratulations on your upcoming marriage. I wish you and Dr. Gates happiness."Wilson felt a lump in his throat and couldn't speak, but Lana smoothly took his arm and said, "Thank you for your blessings, Ms. Ford."Tiana didn't say anything further and left the jewelry store together with Sage.Getting into the car, Tiana told Sage, "Don't hold back, just say whatever you want to say. I'm fine."Sage couldn't help but complain, "What's going on with Wilson? Wasn't he supposed to resign and go abroad? Why is he suddenly getting married to Lana?"Tiana spoke calmly, "It was probably his parents' idea. Dr. Tate is the kind of person who dislikes hassle."Lana is someone who can comfortably take on Mrs. Tate's role with
"Since you're in such a hurry to die, why don't you just stab yourself and end it? Why go to the trouble of jumping off a building and causing a scene?" A man's voice rang out. It was filled with contempt."I wanted to stab—" Suddenly, Sage Joyner found that something was wrong with what Ian Holcomb had said. When had she jumped off a building?"You're finally awake, Mrs. Holcomb." The housekeeper, Wanda May, came over with a glass of water and some pills. "Does your head hurt? The doctor said you have minor symptoms of a concussion and prescribed some medication for you. Do you want to take it now?"Sage didn't answer. She found that she was lying on a bed in a spacious bedroom. From the furnishings, it seemed to be the master bedroom at the Holcomb residence.She hadn't seen the inside of this place since being sent to a mental institution two years ago. Could Ian have suddenly brought her home?No, something was wrong.Sage was certain she'd stabbed herself in the heart. Even
