Chapter 621

Shane put his feet up on the coffee table again and said, "She most probably does. But who cares? She has no one to blame but herself for being so blind. It's even more ridiculous that she got scammed when she's an investor herself!" Sage was speechless."That man, York, whom you planted in the Shekdotters' company, signed a huge project in the last two days. Was that your doing?" asked Shane lazily.Sage didn't plan to keep Shane in the dark about these matters, so she said, "I'm just giving her a taste of her own medicine.""Sage, I love how you're taking revenge! Don't worry. I'll surely help you!"Back in her own office, Sage called Henry to ask if there were any updates on Shekdotter Inc. over the past two days. If Ivy had found out about Shane, then she definitely knew that Sage was connected to the incident too. Who knew if she would suspect Henry? Sage and Henry had been close before this and there were transaction histories between them. Ivy would find all the eviden

Henry thanked his lucky stars that the woman and her boyfriend left Haldon City after the incident had been exposed. Ivy wouldn't be able to find out about them."Don't think I won't find out just because that woman quit her job and left Haldon City. If I find out that you're involved in this, then I'll kill you and your mother!" threatened Ivy.She kicked Henry in the chest and sat down at her desk. Henry was already weak from the beating he had gotten, and he vomited blood when she kicked him. Sandra kept whimpering and bowing to make Ivy forgive them. Ivy wiped her hands with a wet tissue. She didn't care.Henry started begging again. "Ivy, I was foolish to make such a mistake. I only listened to Sage because I wanted to escape poverty… I'll never do it again. I'll work like a slave for you. Please, just forgive me this one time … "Sandra wept and nodded. Ivy let them beg until their knees and foreheads bled before ordering the men to leave the office. "Since you were alr

Shane was already waiting for Sage when she and Giselle returned to the office in the afternoon after meeting with a client."Do I really have to go?" Sage asked.He responded, "Yes."Sage was at a loss for words.The duo drove to an exclusive private restaurant in Haldon that required reservations to dine in and wasn't open to the public. The waiter led them to a private dining room upstairs, but Simon hadn't arrived yet.Sage sighed as she thought about the uncomfortable situation she was going to be in. There was nothing between her and Shane, so why did she feel like she and Shane were a pair of lovebirds who were about to be forced to break up?Shane noticed her resignation and nervousness. "Don't worry, I've prepared some pepper spray for you. If things get hairy, just whip it out and use it!" He then handed her a pen. Sage was taken aback. "Isn't your older brother an official? Why do we need pepper spray?"Shane frowned uncharacteristically and explained solemnly, "Y

Smiling, Sage responded, "It's your gathering, Mr. Simon. You're free to invite whoever you want. I don't mind at all.""Great. Let's all take our seats then." Simon then instructed the waiter next to him, "Serve the dishes."The waiter left and the group took their seats at the dining table. It was a fine, solid wood round table with an antique charm. There were fruit platters and nuts on it, as well as a vase of fresh flowers and incense, adding to the ambiance.After Sage sat down, Shane took a seat right next to her and casually handed her a piece of fruit. "Don't you have low blood sugar? Here, have some fruit so you don't pass out."Sage glared at him discreetly, but he kept his hand up. Simon and Ian were both looking at her. Things would only become more awkward if this continued. She had no choice but to calmly accept the fruit and take a small bite. "Is it sweet?" Shane asked."That darn Shane was doing this on purpose!" she cursed inwardly. Sage couldn't help hers

Sage decided not to eat the food they offered and instead chose to pick up a stalk of green beans for herself. "Thanks, but I'll just pick what I want."Shane grumbled, "I've never been so thoughtful to a woman before, Sage. Yet, you're not even going to give me a chance?"She glared at him, and he immediately surrendered. "Alright, alright. You do you."Ian pursed his lips and remained silent, while Simon continued to eat as if nothing happened. Simon remained tight-lipped about Sage and Shane's relationship throughout dinner. Sage had a feeling he was well-informed about her background and her relationship with Shane. Thus, the gathering wasn't the uncomfortable situation she had feared, but rather his roundabout way of telling her that she wasn't compatible with Shane.She didn't have any desire to pursue anything with Shane anyway, so Simon's actions held no weight with her. As the gathering drew to a close, Sage felt as if she had accomplished her mission. She was abou

Sage was caught off guard. Shane added, "If it bothers you when Ian and I fight every time we meet, I'll try to restrain myself from now on."He sounded genuine and a little hurt. It tugged at her heartstrings. She even wondered if she had been too harsh on him. After all, she had played a part in Giselle's decision to call off their engagement, and she felt responsible for the fact that he had to deal with all of these problems."Shane, I—""Well, well, would you look at that, Sage? You can't help but want to talk to me, after all!" Shane teased."You're such a jerk, Shane!" Sage couldn't help it anymore. She punched him squarely in the chest. To her surprise, he didn't move out of the way. He clutched his aching chest and groaned out in pain. Sage had trained for a while, so her punch was nowhere near weak. She had assumed that he would dodge her attack. She had no idea that he would let her hit him. "Are you okay?" she asked, leaning in to check on him.Shane looked u

Chapter 627

Sage wasn't the least bit surprised to see Ian outside her door. He probably came to inquire about her relationship with Shane. No matter what her relationship with Shane was, she didn't feel the need to explain anything to Ian. Hence, Sage decided to ignore him. However, Ian started knocking on the door, causing enough disturbance to warrant a complaint from the neighbors. Soon, property management personnel arrived to persuade him to stop. However, Ian played the victim and said, "My wife is mad at me and won't open the door."The people outside must've been fooled by his appearance because they started knocking on the door for him. "Ma'am, it's normal to have a lover's spat. I'm sure you'll be able to talk this out. Please open the door for your husband! If you don't, it'll disturb your neighbors' rest."Sage eventually opened the door, and there were two property management staff members standing outside, along with Ian, who was wearing only a shirt and had his coat drape

Over the next few days, Ian didn't show up in front of Sage again. Shane was also tied up with work and couldn't spend much time with Sage. During this period, Sage and Giselle finalized CureX Pharmaceuticals' investment proposal and ironed out all the details. Now, all that was left was the official signing.Michael invited Sage out for lunch the day he was heading to Mimosa to discuss the endorsement deal. Both parties had clear intentions to collaborate, and the negotiations proceeded without a hitch.Sage invited Priscilla and Dave to lunch with Michael. During the meal, Dave tactfully mentioned that Michael had been doing well lately and that his fan base had been stabilized. "He's on the rise in his career at the moment. As long as he stays clear of scandals and gossip, I'm confident he'll go far."Sage understood what Dave was getting at. At the banquet the other night, Michael had been attentive to her and even made a point of wearing the suit she had purchased. Dave m

Sage barely had a chance to dwell on it before Linda took her hand in hers. "My bad, I've said too much. Sage, since Ian gave you the brooch, just accept it. After all, he never gave you anything in the past. Consider this his way of making it up to you!"Sage replied absent-mindedly, "It's alright, Grandma Holcomb. To be honest, he gave me a lot of things, including jewelry."Even though she bought them on her own, she used his card. In a way, he gave them to her. Besides, Ian had also given her a panda-shaped bracelet in Southbend County."That's alright. Just accept one more of his gifts then," Linda continued knowingly. "Did he upset you again? Is that why you've returned the brooch to me, and you don't want to see him?"Sage shook her head and smiled. "Nah. It's just not right for me to receive such a valuable gift from him anymore."As they chatted, a housekeeper's voice came from outside. "Mr. Holcomb." Sage's brows drew together as she figured out that the car she had

Sage asked, "So, what did you want to ask me?"Ian continued, "Grandpa Joyner mentioned that your mother was a talented perfumer and that you've inherited her talent. I was wondering if you've ever heard of similar cases and if you could create a scent that could help alleviate Sandy's condition?"Sage had to admit that she had never heard of such a thing before. Even though it was challenging to craft fragrances, it was only manageable for custom-made perfumes since the requester could articulate their needs. In Sandy's case, there was no way to start."I don't know her well enough, and I don't know what she likes. It might be difficult," she admitted candidly.His eyes dimmed when he heard that. "I understand."Initially, she intended to comfort him, but she thought of their current relationship and decided against it. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now.""Yeah."Sage walked to her car, opened the door, got in, and sped away. Ian watched her car disappear before
