A Farewell After Being Reborn Chapter 14
"I heard Ian was injured, so I dropped by to see how he was doing. But don't get the wrong idea about this, Sage!" Ivy hurriedly explained as she thought of something. "I needed Ian to sign a document, so I went to his office."I only learned from Mr. Zane about Ian being injured. Ian isn't the one who told me about it!"Sage smirked. Had she said anything about getting the wrong idea? Why was Ivy in such a hurry to explain herself? She said, "I have a little suggestion for you, Ms. Shekdotter—if you don't want others to get the wrong idea, don't do things that could cause misunderstandings."For instance, if you know a man is married, don't drop by his house alone when his wife hasn't invited you over. And even if you do drop by alone, you should act like a proper guest. Make sure to maintain a proper distance when sitting with someone else's husband."Ivy's face turned red at Sage's words. She hurriedly scooted to the side of the couch. "Sage, I—""Don't address me with such f

Ian, dressed in a dark suit, walked in. What was he doing there? His expression turned slightly colder when he saw Sage. He seemed to be trying hard to keep his emotions in check.Why did he look like that? Was he still mad over what had happened that morning?"Grandpa," he greeted Donald politely as Sage pondered the matter."You're here, Ian. You must be hungry! Come on, join us for dinner. We were just waiting for you!" Donald said lovingly. "Here, sit beside Sage. You like fish sticks, don't you? They're by Sage's side."At that, Sage pushed the dish to the center of the table. "Sit on the opposite side.""Sage, what are you doing? That's rude." After reprimanding Sage, Donald turned to Ian and said helplessly, "I've spoiled her rotten, Ian. She can be willful sometimes. I hope you'll be more tolerant of her. Don't bear a grudge against her. Deep down, she has a kind soul."Ian didn't refute Donald. He sat down opposite Sage and said calmly, "Got it, Grandpa."He'd been rais

"See it for yourself!" Ian threw his phone at Sage.She picked it up to see some surveillance footage. It looked like it had been taken in a basement parking lot. Two men in masks and caps were sneakily peering around a corner.Soon, Ivy arrived at the parking lot. She'd just unlocked the car when the two men charged at her. One of them clamped a hand over her mouth and subdued her while the other opened the door. They stuffed her into the back seat before speeding off."Where was Ms. Shekdotter taken to? Have you found her yet?"Ian suppressed his rage when he saw how serious Sage looked. He said, "The security guards on duty noticed that something was wrong and stopped the two men after they forced her into the car."Sage chuckled. "How interesting. Those two men went all the way there to abduct her, yet chose to wait somewhere where the surveillance cameras would catch them. That would only make it all the more easier for people to notice them, right?""What's with that attitu

Tears started streaming down Sage's face as she laughed. The memories from her past life of being mistreated, insulted, and tormented at the mental institution flashed before her eyes.The nurse in charge of her had been burly and strong; she could drag Sage along with her with just one hand grabbing her by the hair. She could also slap her bowl of oatmeal to the floor with one blow.The nurse could even pinch her mouth hard and forcefully pour the medication down her throat when she refused to take them …Sage had always thought the mental institution had arranged for the nurse to torment her as a way of sucking up to Ian. She never would've expected the horrible nurse to be Ivy's relative!This meant that her life in the mental institution had been so horrific because of Ivy. At the thought of the torment she'd suffered and the pain she'd experienced because of her stomach cancer, Sage wanted nothing more than to strangle Ivy to death.Why had she been so cruel? She already had

When Ian got downstairs, Sage was already nowhere in sight."Mr. Holcomb, Mrs. Holcomb hailed a cab and left on her own," the driver said tentatively.Ian pursed his lips. He had the driver take him back to Solaris Estate. When he arrived, he saw Sage's shoes strewn haphazardly on the floor. He went upstairs.Sage's door was shut. There wasn't so much as a sound coming from inside. Ian lingered outside for a while but eventually decided against knocking on the door.The following morning, Ian went downstairs after finishing his morning workout. Wanda was serving breakfast. He sat by the dining table and glanced upstairs. "Wake her up for breakfast."Wanda said politely, "Mrs. Holcomb already left the house, Mr. Holcomb."Left? He'd deliberately given her some time to calm down last night, only intending to ask her about what had happened in the morning. Yet she'd already left the house?"Where has she gone?"Wanda shook her head. "I'm not sure. She didn't say anything. She didn't even

Shane paused to create suspense, then continued, "You won't be able to make me believe you without a logical reason."No one would be able to place their faith in a woman who claimed to want to work with them when they'd only seen each other once. To make matters worse, said woman was a competitor's wife.Sage understood this. She chuckled and said, "What if I were to tell you that we have the same goal?""Oh? Is your goal to take Ian down?" Shane was interested again."I can't guarantee I can do anything to Ian's other businesses, but I have to raze Bolton Investment to the ground!"Bolton Investment was managed by Ivy. The torture Sage had gone through at the mental institution in her previous life made it clear that even if she didn't want to fight with Ivy, Ivy wouldn't let her off the hook.If that were the case, Sage would settle the score with Ivy. She wanted to get even for everything she'd suffered in her previous life!"I heard that you love Mr. Holcomb with your life,

Sage checked her inbox to see some replies from the companies she'd submitted her résumé to earlier. She'd gotten her stockbroking license back in her college days, so most investment companies were more inclined to hire her.Two of them had sent her invitations for interviews, and two others had outright offered her jobs. It was just that her lack of experience would mean she would get paid less compared to other licensed investors.Sage sent all of these companies short, simple thank-you messages. Her initial plan had been to go back to what she knew and get a job in investing. But now that she'd decided to work with Shane, she couldn't go anywhere else for the time being.After replying to all her emails, Sage started going through the information on Mimosa. It was a winery that had expanded relatively rapidly in recent years. Its main selling point was that it had a long history and skilled employees who were equivalent to national treasures. This had helped it gain fame.Sage

Ian had even gotten the idea that Sage was demanding a divorce because she was throwing a tantrum over what had happened that day.Even if it was unnecessary, she still couldn't help asking, "Since you knew that was the fifth anniversary of our first meeting, you must've known how important it was to me. Why did you still leave with Ivy?"Ian looked calm. "To me, it was no different from any other day."Of course. Since he didn't love her, what did any sort of anniversary matter? All of this was nothing but her single-sided expectations.Sage muttered self-deprecatingly, "I wonder where I found the courage to think I could move you one day."Ian didn't hear her properly. When he turned to look at her, her expression had already gone back to normal. "I'm not throwing a tantrum or kicking up a fuss. I'm serious about wanting to divorce."She was still going on about the divorce! Ian's expression darkened. "Do you think marriage is a game? Do you think you can get married and divorc
