Upon hearing Giselle's words, Tiana's expression instantly turned joyful. She went ahead and put the call on speakerphone. "Really, Giselle? Can you repeat that?""It's true! Selena told me just now that Shane's eyes and fingers moved. After checking, the doctor confirmed that these are signs he's waking up!" Giselle's voice was full of excitement.Tiana looked at Sage. "Sage, did you hear that? Shane is going to wake up. He won't be in a vegetative state anymore!"Sage naturally heard it.In an instant, it felt like the huge boulder pressing down on her chest was moved away. All the strength she had been forcing out slowly faded away.She released her grip on Ivy's hair, letting her other arm fall to her side as the shard of ceramic dropped to the ground.The moment Ivy learned it was safe, she used the cover of her hair to quietly and mockingly tell Sage, in a voice only she could hear, "Your good days are numbered. You and the Joyners have long been targeted!"Sage was startl
Ian gave Ivy a cold look. "You're not in a position to negotiate with me."Even though Ivy understood that there was no chance between her and Ian and knew that he had no feelings for her, Ian's words still hurt her deeply.A mocking look came alive in Ivy's eyes."Ian, no matter what I've done, I've never hurt you! Even though you've reduced me to this pathetic state, I've never thought about hating you!"Right now, I just want you to untie me and stop the bleeding from the wound Sage created when she went crazy. That way, I can talk to you with a bit of dignity. Is that too much to ask?"Ivy spoke with reddened eyes, and her body trembled severely.Ian remained unfazed and didn't even want to listen to her rambling. "The only thing you need to do now is to tell me what you know."Ivy burst into uncontrollable laughter upon hearing those words.After laughing, Ivy dropped her pretenses and said sarcastically, "I told you what I knew a long time ago, Ian. What more do you want to
Now that Sandra was dead, there was no one to torment Ivy anymore. It was time she received the punishment she deserved.Regarding this matter, Riley had already received instructions from Shane beforehand, so it was natural for him to cooperate.After discussing the relevant details, Sage called Donald.She didn't dare to tell him about the dangerous incident because she didn't want him to worry. But, now that things were almost settled, Sage really wanted to hear her grandfather's voice.She waited for a long time, but Donald didn't pick up.。Sage quickly called Dexter and learned that Susan had gone to their house that day.As soon as she saw Donald, she started crying and causing a scene. Now, they were in the study, and Dexter said he didn't know exactly what happened.Out of nowhere, Sage remembered Ivy's vague and somewhat gloating comment from yesterday—that someone had already set their sights on her and the Joyner family.Was Ivy just trying to provoke her, or was the
It wasn't time for the doctor's rounds yet. Tiana also had to step out to handle a phone call because there was some trouble in the nurses' station. If it was her, she wouldn't knock on the door.Who could it be?Sage told Donald that she was hanging up before walking to the door and asking who it was.A woman's voice sounded. "It's Selena. Ms. Joyner, may I come in?"Shane's sister? She was probably here because of Shane.Sage knew that the Morrison family would definitely want to talk to her, and there was no way she could avoid it.Sage said, "Come in."Selena opened the door to the hospital room.Sage heard from Shane that his older sister had a brief marriage before. After the divorce, she had been helping their father run the Morrison family's business in the northern part of the city.She was a typical strong and independent woman.At this moment, Selena appeared noticeably more refreshed compared to yesterday.She wore a black casual suit, exuding a smart and profess
Selena looked at Sage. Although she wore no makeup, her skin was fair and radiant. Her large eyes exuded calmness and were strikingly beautiful yet evoked a sense of tenderness."Ms. Joyner, extreme actions cause severe harm," Selena said. "Shane was deeply affected when my mother passed away."It took him a long time to recover from that blow, and his frivolous behavior afterward was just a way to mask his inner pain."That's why I'm afraid he won't be able to handle it if he faces another setback with you, Ms. Joyner. If you truly loved Shane, I would advise him to take a chance."However, you still seem close to your ex-husband, and Mr. Holcomb is very attentive to you. Shane is bound to get hurt in this relationship."Instead of getting more entangled with each other until you're unable to extricate yourselves, it's better to take this opportunity to part ways early."Sage wasn't surprised by Selena's words. Compared to Simon, Selena was actually quite polite."Ms. Morrison,
In the clubhouse, Ian found Leo in an elegantly understated private room.Leo held a fine cigar in his hand, exuding a commanding presence that came from years of being in a position of authority.Across from him sat a few well-dressed business associates, also enjoying their cigars.A decanted red wine was placed on the table in the middle of them. The liquid in the glass gently swayed, emitting an enticing glow.The cigars' aroma combined with the red wine's scent filled this place with a relaxed and joyful atmosphere.Ian was led to the door by the waiter and quietly called out, "Father."Leo was talking with his friends about Haldon City's economic issues when he heard Ian calling him, which clearly took him by surprise."What brings you here?"Ian calmly nodded at the elders present to greet them, then turned to Leo and said, "I need to discuss something with you."All the people present were very astute and perceptive. Seeing the situation, they quickly found excuses to
"You piece of shit!" Leo flew into a rage and furiously threw down his cigar. "How dare you suspect me? I have plenty of ways to deal with Sage, and I don't need Ronald to do something like this!"Ronald has been my butler for so many years. Even if he hasn't achieved great things, he's worked hard. Why would I force him to risk his life?"Ian glanced at the half-smoked cigar on the ground and raised his head calmly. "Does it really have nothing to do with you?""Of course!" Leo fumed. "Who's been stirring up trouble, making you suspect me? Was it Sage?"She never wanted to get a divorce from you. Now, with all this trouble she's caused and knowing you still care about her, she's just spouting nonsense in front of you!"Ian couldn't help but put on a cold expression. "What does she have to do with this?"If you hadn't arranged for Ivy to come back, none of this trouble would have happened. Sage wouldn't have gotten mixed up in all of this.""Ian!" Leo warned sternly, "If you kee
Upon hearing Ian's words, Leo responded naturally, "Even if I don't take your grandmother's opinion into account, I still have to consider the Sutton family's dignity!"If you force Sage to get a divorce and then try to arrange a marriage with the Sutton family, won't the Sutton family end up getting dragged into this mess?"Do you think the Sutton family would still agree to the marriage under those circumstances?"Ian was at a loss for words.After a while, he sarcastically remarked, "I never would have guessed that you could be so considerate and attentive, Father."Hearing Ian's mocking tone, Leo's face turned grim again. "Since you already know my intentions, you should settle the marriage with the Sutton family soon! Otherwise, you'll regret it!""It's hard to say who will regret it." Ian stood up, his tall figure reminiscent of a pine tree. "I've handed the relevant evidence over to the police."Whether or not you're connected to Uncle Ron's incident, it's up to their inv
