A Farewell After Being Reborn

Sage responded, “Okay, send me the address.”

The location Shane provided turned out to be a bar. It seemed like private clubs or bars were his regular hangouts.

If Sage hadn’t known from her past life that he had a business mindset and performed reasonably well, she might have thought of him as an idle playboy.

Sage drove to the bar and located Shane in a secluded corner on the second floor.

The bar played soft music, and with no one else on the second floor, the noise was well–contained in the soundproofed booth. It created an unexpectedly tranquil atmosphere.

Shane was lounging with his legs propped on the coffee table. He retained his usual carefree demeanor. However, this time he was without the company of Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

beautiful women. Instead, he was engrossed in a phone call.

On the table were beverages and snacks. Sage decided not to disturb him and settled on the couch. She casually picked up a piece of apple and popped it into

her mouth.

“Alright, that’s settled. Let me know as soon as there’s any news.” Shane hung up quickly.

Sage went straight to the point and asked, “What did you find out about Benjamin?”

Wordlessly, Shane tossed a file over to Sage. In addition to the facts they already had, it contained more detailed personal information about Benjamin and the events of the night before.

Although Benjamin came from a humble background, he displayed exceptional intelligence. He entered his father–in–law’s company with a self–learned wine formula. After marrying Priscilla, he gradually expanded his influence while being backed by his in–laws‘ wealth.

To build a positive image, Benjamin frequently donated to charities and welfare

organizations such as Sunshine Orphanage. This earned him a good reputation. However, the group of girls who were forced to drink with him last night were from the orphanage.

“What a scumbag!” Sage couldn’t help but curse upon learning this.

To cloak such immoral actions in the guise of charity was utterly despicable.

“Hold off on the scolding. Keep reading,” Shane cryptically reminded her.

As Sage continued flipping through the file, she stumbled upon photos of Benjamin with a girl at a hotel. The girl was the one Sage had noticed the night before. She had the most attractive figure.

“Are these photos taken from last night? Why didn’t your men stop him?”

Shane chuckled with a hint of amusement. “Ms. Joyner, consensual matters

aren’t easy to prevent. Besides, these photos weren’t taken by my men.”

When Shane’s team arrived to investigate last night, Benjamin had already left

the hotel.

With recent rumors of Mimosa’s financing and listing, many were eyeing Benjamin to find something incriminating. These photos were snapped by someone with ulterior motives.

“What happened afterward? Have you reported this to the police?” Sage inquired.

With a smile, Shane shook his head. “The person who took the photos has some ulterior motives. Both sides are still negotiating for benefits.”

Sage stared at Shane, and a sudden realization hit her. “You’re planning to help Benjamin resolve this trouble, aren’t you? That’s what you meant on the phone just now!”

While casually toying with his phone, Shane sat back nonchalantly and didn’t deny the accusation.

Sage erupted in anger and growled, “How could you do that? Weren’t we

supposed to discuss it together?”

Shane chuckled in response. “Ms. Joyner, this is a golden opportunity. Settling his troubles for him means securing Mimosa.”

“But his character is questionable, and his behavior is reprehensible. It’s a massive risk for the investment bank. If his scandal is exposed before the public listing, there would be no money for you to make.”

Shane was unfazed as he said, “Benjamin is usually cautious. Otherwise, someone would have uncovered his background. As long as we conceal this matter, he won’t dare to make any more reckless moves in the short term. It

doesn’t count as a massive risk.”
