"What's the matter? Come on!" Layla said even more loudly. "My mother asked me to woo Ian like you did, and to even approach Mrs. Holcomb Senior!"Sage expected nothing less from her power-hungry aunt. Susan had made her daughter do it after knowing that Sage was hopeless. "Go ahead then. Haven't you always had a thing for Ian? Texting him from time to time and getting starstruck every time you see him," said Sage.Layla blushed. "I don't have a thing for him! I just think he's someone untouchable, so I just feel like talking to him more whenever I get the chance. I never had any ill intentions toward him! I've said this before. I don't want a guy you don't want! "Why did you divorce him? What am I supposed to do now?" asked Layla in frustration.Sage said, "Just tell your mom you won't do it if you don't want to. She can't force you. If you ever have any financial difficulties, then just come to me or Grandpa.""You're well aware of my mom's character. If I don't do what she s

Chapter 432

Calvin was taken aback. He quickly found a quiet spot and said, "Sage, what are you talking about? You're divorced?"He was utterly shocked. "How could Ian possibly agree to a divorce? You're joking, right?"Calvin had seen the news online, but most of the comments were unfavorable toward Ian. He guessed that Sage must be the one behind it.Calvin knew that siding with either one of them would hurt the other, so he just acted oblivious about it and did not get involved. However, he never expected Ian and Sage to get divorced just days after the audio incident!"Why would I joke about something like that? You may also call me Ms. Joyner from now on," said Sage. "Miss… " Calvin couldn't bring himself to call her Ms. Joyner, so he said, "What happened? Why did you get divorced? Is it because of the baby?"He had heard from Tiana that Ian tried to force Sage to abort the baby, and he had tried to talk Ian out of it. But Ian just wouldn't listen. So did they get divorced because they

Calvin said irritatedly, "Can't you sit up straight?""What's the matter with you, Mr. Luther? Mr. Holcomb asked me to drink with him, so what's wrong with me sitting like this? Why are you so bothered?" retorted the woman."You… " Calvin sputtered."If you aren't going to drink with me, then don't ruin the fun," said Ian as he glared at Calvin. The woman smirked at Calvin and quickly topped off Ian's glass. Calvin was speechless. He didn't want to be the bad guy anymore. If Ian wanted to keep pretending, then so be it. Calvin went to sit down further away and drank by himself while watching the woman get Ian drunk. The woman secretly felt happy when Ian started to get drunk. She put down her glass and said flirtatiously, "Mr. Holcomb, I need to go to the washroom."A wave of dizziness washed over her when she stood up, and she fell on top of Ian. "Mr. Holcomb, I think I've had too much to drink. Could you send me home?" she asked coquettishly. She looked at Ian provocative

"I already warned you not to touch her child or she would hate you, but you just wouldn't listen! Are you happy now that you've lost her?" said Calvin. He quickly shrunk away for fear that Ian would hit him again out of anger and humiliation. However, Ian did and said nothing. Ian looked as if he had been slapped. He no longer looked fierce, and the icy look in his eyes melted away. Was that a look of… loneliness Calvin spotted?Suddenly, Calvin realized how harsh his words had been. Ian had been pretending to be fine all along, but he had exposed him. Calvin could only imagine how much worse Ian felt now."Ian, I…" He was about to offer Ian a few words of comfort when Ian stood up.Ian stood tall, but there was an air of sadness about him. He tossed his glass aside and walked out of the room unsteadily. Calvin chased after him to send him off, but Ian pushed him away and walked into the elevator. Calvin quickly called the driver to make sure that he was waiting for Ian downst

Wanda picked up the box and said, "Mrs. Holcomb bought this a few months ago, and she cherished it very much. She told me not to touch it. "I wonder why she didn't take it when she packed her stuff. Mr. Holcomb, should we ask her if she forgot to take it?"Ian said nothing and took the purple box out of the bag. When he opened it, he saw a pair of diamond cufflinks.The cufflinks were intricately designed, and the dark blue diamonds sparkled under the light. They were luxurious but not too flashy. They were exactly his style."Mr. Holcomb, I think the cufflinks were a gift from Mrs. Holcomb." A thought struck Wanda and she added, "Mrs. Holcomb kept going gift shopping during that period. She even made a scented candle. She said an important day was coming up, and she wanted to give you a surprise—""Wanda, I need a moment alone." Ian cut her off."Yes, sir," said Wanda. She then hurried off.Ian took out the cufflinks and found a dark blue card at the bottom of the box. He took

Zachary continued, "I've seen the materials, and I think only someone in top management could have access to them. I think it's most likely that Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan slipped up." Sage was shocked. "You're such a detective! Have you talked to them about this?"Zachary shook his head and said, "I wanted to bring it up at dinner this evening, but…" His plans had been interrupted by the news of Sage's divorce. Sage wanted to apologize, but Zachary sensed it and said gently, "Don't blame yourself. They're not calm enough to hear this yet. I'm sure they'll lose it if I bring it up so suddenly. It won't be too late if I gather more evidence and confront them a few days later."Zachary was always gentle and thoughtful. He had a way of making others feel comfortable. Sage stopped worrying and told him about Delilah being seen at Owen's study. "Uncle Lovell was behind the spice consignment. They weren't able to sabotage the contract at that time, so maybe they wanted to cause troubl

"Sage, I've always thought you were special since the first time I saw you during my visit to Haldon City with Grandpa." Zachary gazed at Sage and continued, "Although I didn't contact you over these few years, I've heard a lot about you from Grandpa. When I heard you married a man you loved, I felt very envious of him. But all I could do was hide my feelings in the depths of my heart."When I saw you with your grandfather again in Colville, I realized that my feelings for you were still the same, if not stronger. That's why I came to Haldon City when Grandpa Joyner invited me. "I wanted to be closer to you so that I could ease your burdens. I set a one-year timeframe for myself. After one year, I would forget you and move on with my life. But after I heard that you got divorced today, I just couldn't stop myself from coming to see you. "There are the words that I've kept buried for very long. Sage, I like you." Although she had prepared herself for this, Sage was still shocke

Ian had been trying to find out Ron's whereabouts over the past few days because he wanted to know who was the mastermind. He finally had news. "Send some men over to get him under control first. I'll deal with him tomorrow," said Ian.Terry hesitated and said, "Mr. Holcomb, I think you'd better come to the office." Ian's frown deepened. Terry always knew his boundaries and wouldn't disobey him carelessly. Ian guessed that the situation must have been difficult. "Wait for me at the office. I'll be there in 40 minutes," said Ian before hanging up. In the yard, Zachary's emotions had toned down a little, and he was now talking to Sage in a normal tone. Ian had also calmed down a lot after Terry's phone call.He had come to ask Sage about the present, not to argue. If he had rushed up to her and grabbed her, Sage would most likely hate him even more.Since he was in a rush, he planned to just say hi to her and leave. However, he saw Zachary wrapping his coat around her shoulder

Not really caring about what was going on, Sage just closed the curtains and went back inside.…When Ian got to the office, Terry was already there waiting for him."What's the deal with Ron? Where is he?" Ian asked."Mr. Holcomb, have a look at this." Terry's tone was serious as he handed the documents to Ian.Ian opened the papers. Upon reading them, his usual poker face suddenly shifted. Terry picked up on Ian's change in mood and stood quietly by his side, not saying a word.After a moment, Ian continued to go through the documents.As he went over the photos, bank transfer records, and other evidence, his face returned to its usual composed state. However, his eyes hinted at a storm of complex emotions brewing underneath.After going through the documents several times, Ian tossed them aside. "Keep investigating. Let's find out what they're up to. I need to talk to Ron now," he stated firmly.Terry replied, "Got it. I'll arrange it right away. Mr. Holcomb, we've also g

After Grandpa left, Sage seemed a bit puzzled and asked, "Madam Matilda, what brings you here?"Matilda didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "Sage, how are you feeling now? Are you doing better?""I'm doing alright now. The doctor's been treating me every day," Sage replied.She then added, "I was actually thinking about dropping by to see you and Grandma sometime. I didn't expect you to come by yourself.""Good to hear you're feeling better," Matilda said kindly. "I've been away from home for quite a while now and haven't had the chance to visit Mr. Joyner Senior. It's been rather neglectful of me, I must admit.""I'm actually planning to head back to Yremdale tomorrow, so I wanted to stop by and see you all before I leave," Matilda explained.Sage finally understood why Linda spoke so highly of Matilda's elegance and intellect. However, Sage couldn't help but wonder why Matilda had been away from home for so many years and hadn't shown any interest in Ian."You've only b
