Semua Bab A Farewell After Being Reborn: Bab 421 - Bab 430

As Sage held the divorce certificate outside the court, she felt like she was in a dream. Ian had actually signed the divorce agreement. They were divorced now. She was free! "Here are the deed and keys for Palgrave Place." Ian handed her an envelope.Ian hadn't taken it with him the last time he visited the hospital, so she had a deliveryman send it back to him. Sage hadn't expected him to still insist on giving it to her."There's also a blank check inside," he said apathetically. "Both you and Grandpa insisted on not taking any of my assets, but we were married after all. Consider these as compensation for you."His face was expressionless, and his voice was devoid of any emotion. He had reverted to his usual cold and distant demeanor.Sage turned him down. "It's alright. You don't owe me anything."After all, she was the one who pushed for this marriage. Ian could've avoided all this trouble. Now, it was time to let everything go back to the way things were. Before the div

"What's on your mind, Sage? Why aren't you picking up your phone?" Donald asked.Sage hurriedly plastered a smile on her face. "Nothing much. Give me a minute, Grandpa. I'll step out and answer the call."Donald had no idea why she was avoiding him. But he was aware that his granddaughter was all grown up now, so he had to respect her decision.The ringing had already stopped by the time Sage got out of the car. Ivy had called again. Sage turned on the recording function before answering the phone. "Are you here to gloat about my divorce with Ian?" she asked coldly.Ivy appeared to have been caught off guard for a moment as it took her a couple of seconds to ask, "Divorce? Why would you and Ian divorce, Sage? When did this happen?""Quit the act. Weren't you just waiting for this moment after all that effort you put in?" Sage sneered. "Congratulations! You got what you wanted. Now you and Ian can be together for the rest of your lives. So, stop wasting your energy to get back at

Ian had established himself as the leader of the company in just a few years, and he carried himself with confidence. Even though he hadn't challenged Ian directly, it wasn't a good sign for him to reject his decisions. Leo panicked a little when he realized Ian was slipping from his grasp."Ronald told me you stopped doing business with his company to stand up for Sage. Is that true?" Leo asked with a hardened expression."Uncle Ron's getting old. He can't tell what's important anymore, so it's time for him to take it easy."Ian didn't want to waste his breath on his father anymore. "Dad, if you don't have anything else to do here, why don't you head home or go back abroad? I'll take care of the company, so you don't have to come back for such issues in the future.""How dare you!" Leo snapped again. After all, this was the CEO's office—the pinnacle of authority at Holcomb Corporation. It would be embarrassing for both of them if they quarreled here and someone overheard."Do

After wrapping up her call with Tiana, she placed an order for dozens of cartons of milk. Sage intended to give a few boxes to each of the housekeepers and drivers while also supporting Michael. With that settled, she and Shane started talking about CureX's project. He informed her that Bolton didn't participate in the second round of financing for CureX Pharmaceuticals. Collin also hadn't withdrawn the distribution rights despite what had happened recently at Farsight. On the contrary, he seemed like he wanted Farsight to be involved in the financing.Sage pondered for a moment before telling Shane about the message Ian had sent her earlier that morning. "Hold on… Ian basically handed the project to you?" he inquired, somewhat surprised. To be more specific, Ian had listened to Ivy and handed over the project to her. "Tsk, I never imagined Ian would be so generous. He was never one to back down in business." He added, "Well, if he's offering it to you, why don't you just ta

"Grandpa, did something happen?" asked Sage. "They've found something on the incident," said Donald. Donald explained that Maven Corporation was in hot water over the tax issue because someone had reported them. What's more, the evidence had come from internal sources. At present, Owen could be granted temporary release because the tax department found that the evidence was fake. Nevertheless, other departments were still investigating the details, so Owen would need to cooperate with the investigation. Sage frowned. Who could have framed Maven Corporation?Owen, his wife, and Zachary arrived at the Joyner residence at dinner time. Owen looked weary after a few days of being investigated by the tax department. Everyone immediately began discussing the Maven Corporation incident. Owen suddenly asked, "Sage, what's up with Ian? Something so serious has happened, but he hasn't said a word.""Why did you come home to stay? Did you guys argue?" asked Susan curiously.Owen and S
