A Farewell After Being Reborn

Ian came to a halt and looked at his assistant. Terry handed his phone to him. “Mrs. Holcomb is trending on Twitter.”

Ian took the device and scanned the screen. Besides the news of the accident at Holcomb Corporation’s party, there were multiple articles about Mrs. Holcomb getting drunk. He clicked on one of them and was greeted with a series of images.

The first photo was of Sage standing alone on the dance floor, dressed in a gown. The second image showed her holding a bottle of wine and chugging it with her head thrown back. In the third photo, she was holding an empty bottle with teary eyes.

The person who shared these photos included the following caption: “There was an accident at Holcomb Corporation’s party. Mr. Holcomb rushed to the hospital with the injured beauty, leaving Mrs. Holcomb alone in tears and inebriated. The couple seems to be in a marital crisis.”

In the first photo, Sage stood alone on the dance floor, her once–radiant face and bright eyes showing only loneliness. This made it seem like her marriage was indeed in trouble.

There were also numerous comments below the post claiming that they had never heard of a ” Mrs. Holcomb“.

In addition, insiders were claiming that Ian and Sage’s marriage was forced on them by their families and that the couple had no feelings for each other.

Rumor had it that the couple had already signed the divorce papers, and it was only a matter of time before they announced it. Besides that, someone also shared a link to a video of Sage drowning her sorrows in the banquet hall.

Ian clicked on the link. Sage was lifting her wine bottle defiantly in the video, screaming,” Men are all scumbags!”

Beside her sat Priscilla, who raised her glass in agreement. Sage then leaned onto Prisic… shoulder. Under the lights, her nose was bright red.

Ian’s forehead creased, and his grip on the phone tightened. He was furious.
