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
Calvin understood Ian's thoughts and sighed inwardly. If Ian had realized this earlier, Sage wouldn't have been so determined to get a divorce.Calvin decided to not talk about the upsetting stuff.He asked, "Ian, have the police found any results about Ronald's case? You had someone investigate Mr. Leo because you think he might be involved with Ronald's situation. What's the update on that?”Ian relaxed his furrowed brow and briefly told Calvin about his visit to Leo that afternoon.Calvin said in surprise, "So, does this have nothing to do with Mr. Leo?"Ian furrowed his brow. "What he said made sense. If he wanted to deal with Sage, there's no need to go to such lengths, and there's certainly no need to involve the Morrison family.""Who instructed Ronald? It can't be his own idea, right?" Calvin said. "Ronald is usually so scared of offending you that even if he dislikes someone, he only plays small tricks."Why would he suddenly dare to do something so malicious?"Have yo
Tiana's reason was straightforward—Shane was still very weak right now and would likely need to undergo a lot of check-ups. Sage herself also looked sickly and lethargic.So, Tiana suggested that Sage take the night off and visit Shane tomorrow when his condition was a bit more stable.Sage couldn't wait any longer. "No way. I'm going over there to make sure Shane is really awake."After that, Sage got out of bed and put on her shoes without giving Tiana a chance to object.Tiana reached out and supported Sage. "He really woke up. I wouldn’t lie to you!""You kept it from me when he was in a coma, didn't you?" Sage said.Tiana was silent for a moment before saying helplessly, "Alright, you win. But everyone in the Morrison family is focused on Shane right now, so he definitely doesn't have the energy to talk to you."Besides, with the way you are right now, Shane would be really worried if he saw you like this. How about taking it easy and going tomorrow instead? It would make n
She freshened up, changed into her own clothes, and put on some lipstick."Tiana, how do I look?" Sage asked.A trace of reluctance flashed across Tiana's face before she nodded. "Pretty good.""What's with that look on your face? What happened?" Sage asked with a furrowed brow.Tiana shook her head. "It's nothing. Giselle will come over in a bit and go with you to see Shane."Sage felt warm inside. "Giselle must be worried that Shane's brother would give me a hard time. She's so considerate."It didn't take long for Giselle to arrive.Sage said they needed to go see Shane right away, but Giselle hesitated slightly and exchanged a glance with Tiana."What's going on? You both are acting so strangely," Sage said suspiciously."Nothing. Let's go." Giselle supported Sage by the arm.It was impossible not to think about it, but Sage decided to wait until after meeting Shane to come back and question them.Sage and Giselle arrived at the entrance of Shane's hospital room.There
