Chapter 481

Delilah had caused her a lot of trouble. Sage couldn't believe that she would hire people to kidnap her this time. She wanted to confront Delilah and get to the bottom of this. Terry glanced at Ian and then nodded. "Of course, Mrs. Holcomb. You're the victim after all. You have the right to know the whole story."Sage responded, "Let's go then.""I'll come with you." Ian rose from the bed.Sage refused. "No way. Your injury hasn't healed yet. Just stay put.""Are you worried that you'll have to take care of me for a few more days if my condition worsens?" he asked with a sneer.She did have that thought in mind and was a bit embarrassed to be called out on it. "This doesn't concern you. There's no need for you to come with me."Ian pointed to his wound and said, "I'm also one of the victims. Why wouldn't I need to go?"That was true. Sage couldn't argue with that logic. She picked up his jacket and was about to leave when a phone rang inside the ward. The unfamiliar ringtone m

"I'll shut up, then," she brooded. Sage responded, "I'm just worried that you'll overwork yourself and blame it on me." Ian was rendered speechless.…The group arrived at the police station. Someone must've heard Ian was coming because a senior police officer came out to greet him. He and Ian exchanged pleasantries in the hall while Sage gave her statement. On her way out, she spotted Delilah in the room across the corridor looking defiant. "I refuse to answer any of your questions until my lawyer arrives! Y'all can forget about tricking me into confessing!"After she said that, she spotted Sage and stormed over, her face contorted in rage. "Sage Joyner, how dare you show your face here you wretch! All I ever asked you to do was buy me a few things and lend me your clothes. Did you really have to go to such lengths to ruin me?"Sage found the whole situation ridiculous. "Have you lost your mind, Delilah Stromberg? You're the one who's been out to get me! "Not only did you co

"Even though you used a different number to contact them and didn't meet them in person to pay them, the police have gotten the location of where the cash was handed over to them." Sage continued, "Wearing a mask and a hat was a pretty weak attempt to hide. The police have experts who can identify you through various methods. You won't be able to get away from this!"She had learned all of this from Terry. It was just a matter of time before the police came to a definitive conclusion. Delilah wouldn't be able to turn the tables on her then. It was a done deal.Sure enough, the blood drained from Delilah's face when she heard that. "I have no idea what you're on about! Don't you dare accuse me without proof!" she insisted. "If you come clean now, you might get a lighter sentence, Ms. Stromberg. But if you keep denying it, I'm afraid you may spend the rest of your life behind bars," Terry chimed in. Delilah was aware that Terry wasn't bluffing. If Ian decided to press charges, sh

Yet, Delilah kept putting her in a tough spot. She brought her to those women and made her listen to their mocking remarks at Holcomb Corporation's banquet. In an attempt to plot against her family, Delilah couldn't get to her and her grandfather, so she turned around and approached her aunt instead. Was all of that scheming and plotting just to support Ivy?"Have I not been good to you, Delilah? Why would you team up with Ivy to frame me?" Sage asked calmly. "We've been best friends for almost a decade. Doesn't that outweigh what Ivy has offered you?"Delilah's trembling body stiffened when she heard that. She hastily glanced at Ian before exclaiming in disbelief, "What are you on about, Sage? When did I team up with Ivy to conspire against you? What payoff are you blabbering about? "I know Ivy has had her eyes on Ian, and I've always been on your side. I've even confronted her a few times. She probably hates me for it, so why would she ever offer me anything?"Ian's expression

Ian glanced at Sage when he heard that. She seemed unfazed as if Delilah's words didn't bother her at all. "Ivy bribed you to ruin Sage and her family?" Ian asked Delilah. Delilah looked at him and denied, "I did all of those because I hate Sage. It's got nothing to do with anyone else.""Do you even hear yourself, Delilah?" Sage continued, "If you hate me that much, why did you confront Ivy on my behalf and cause a scene with her right in front of Ian?""Because I know Ian would hate you if I did that!" Delilah spat out. "Why don't you just chase after him like a sad little puppy? If you kept failing, I'd take pity on you and be your friend. But why did you get so lucky to get married to Ian?"Ian's such a great catch. How could you be with him? Lady Luck always seemed to be on your side. You were always better than me. You were even further out of my reach when you became Mrs. Holcomb. My dad kept chastising me for being useless. He said I couldn't even hold a candle to you!"

"Yes, I did." Sage was about to tell Delilah to shut up when Ian spoke up.His words caught her off guard for a moment. Instinctively, she turned to look at him. His expression was calm, and his deep, dark eyes were unreadable. "I've never fallen for a woman before, and I didn't know what being in love feels like. But I've never thought about marrying someone before meeting her."Even though Sage was aware that Ian was probably just attempting to stand up for her, her chest still felt a little stuffy."That's easy for you to say." Delilah looked at Sage with a hint of mockery in her eyes. "Look at that. You've managed to overcome the only setback you've ever faced in your life. Why does luck always seem to be on your side, Sage?"Sage didn't entertain her question. Instead, she said, "Let's not stray from the subject, Delilah. You're obviously working with Ivy. Why won't you admit it?"Delilah reverted to her previous demeanor. "I have no idea what you're on about. I hired those

"Why else would I be here? I was worried about you, of course," he said nonchalantly.Sage couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "Could you stop being so twisted? Stop using me as a tool to get a rise out of Ian."There was a glint in his eyes as he looked at her lazily. "No can do. It's just too effective. But if there ever comes a time when I can't get a rise out of him anymore, I might just consider your request."She was rendered speechless.…Meanwhile, the driver waited for a while before cautiously asking Ian, who had been rooted to spot outside the police station, "Mr. Holcomb, shall we head back to the office or the hospital?""The office." Ian got into the car. The shadows of the trees danced in the sunlight outside the car. His mind drifted back to the scene of Sage being accused by Delilah earlier. Her face was stoic, and her eyes were devoid of any emotion as if she had grown accustomed to such treatment. Sage had done nothing wrong. Yet, Delilah resented her.

"Since Mrs. Holcomb likes pandas, why don't you take her to the most famous panda base?" Calvin suggested. "You can book a session to pet the panda cubs. It might be expensive and has time restrictions, but I'm sure that wouldn't be a problem for you."Just think about it, Ian. Not only will you get to spend quality time together on the trip, but it'll also allow her to hold her favorite animal. How wonderful would that be?" He continued, "It's a wish she couldn't realize when she was younger, so you'd be indirectly helping her achieve it. Mrs. Holcomb would be so grateful to you. Then, you'd get a chance to ask her to reconcile with you when she's in a good mood!"Ian fell silent when he heard that. It was a good idea, but Sage would never go out with him. "I've given you an idea, Ian, but how you get Mrs. Holcomb on board is on you," Calvin said. "Remember, don't be too pushy. She prefers a gentle approach. Be soft-spoken and accommodating, and I bet she'll agree to go with y

Sage was rendered speechless. "Mr. Morrison, could you please stop bringing up Ian in every other sentence? I'm starting to wonder if you've developed feelings for him!""You're grossing me out again, Sage!" Shane reached out to smack her head, but she dodged to the side. As a result, his hand landed on her slender shoulder."Get off of me!" Sage pushed his hand away in disgust. However, Shane took two steps forward and cornered her."I've warned you, Sage. If you keep annoying me, I won't go easy on you. Tell me, should I give you a beating or two?" He then lifted her chin and asked with a smirk, "Or would you like to give me a kiss?""Get lost!" Sage immediately kicked his knee. What was his problem? Why did he keep harassing her?"Have you lost your mind, Sage?" He bent over and massaged his knee. "I'm such a handsome guy. How could you not get embarrassed or blush when I corner you? I can't believe you'd just kick me!"She rolled her eyes at him. "I was already being very len

Tiana then told Sage about Calvin's call. "You guys are divorced, and you don't even want to give him the time of day. Yet, Ian is still planning to win you back. Why does he think he still stands a chance?" she asked. There was no chance. Sage recounted last night's events to Tiana."Tsk, tsk, tsk. So a knight in shining armor came to your aid, and he even got injured for you. Aren't you even a little touched?"Sage responded truthfully, "I'd be grateful to anyone who came to my aid in a dangerous situation like that. But I wouldn't confuse that with love."Tiana stopped teasing her when she heard that. After all, Ian's past actions had deeply hurt Sage. There was no way Sage would forgive him that easily. "Fine. I was just curious. I won't meddle in your affairs," Tiana said. "That's more like it." Sage then asked her how things were going with Wilson. Tiana told her that things were pretty much the same as before. Wilson was still working long hours, performing surgerie
