A Farewell After Being Reborn

Priscilla chuckled. “You know about Ben being blackmalled, right?”

Sage was startled. “So, you knew about it, Mrs. Xenith?”

“Just call me Priscilla.” Priscilla had a mocking look on her face. “I don’t think the title of Mrs. Xenith suits me anymore.”

Priscilla said that she had only learned of Benjamin’s terrible deeds after receiving the news last night.

“What do you plan to do, then, Priscilla?”

Sage knew that in their more than 20 years of marriage, they were joined by familial ties, children, and benefits. It wouldn’t be easy for them to file for

divorce.

This was also why many women chose to silently endure it even after they found out that their husbands were cheating.

It was especially so for people with a high status and reputation like Priscilla. She would be even more reluctant to show her bad sides to the public.

Priscilla drank some tea. She didn’t intend to hide her decisions. “I refuse to tolerate any infidelity. Ben has to pay the price for this incident.”

Even though this was only their second meeting, Sage admired Priscilla a lot for her fearless personality.

“Have you thought it through? Mimosa is about to finance and go public. It cannot afford even the slightest mistake, or all the effort will be in vain.”

Reality was the biggest problem, after all.

Not everyone was capable of destroying the foundation they had painstakingly built just because they were furious.

“Are you telling me to endure it?” Priscilla returned the question.

Sage shook her head. “I won’t persuade you to make any decisions. But I know. that no matter what decision you make, you definitely have a reason for it.

“If there’s anything I can help with, feel free to tell me.

Priscilla smiled. “Ms. Joyner, you’re a kind woman, just like Tiana. However, I’m very sorry that for now, I cannot make good on my previous promise to help you.

“It’s okay.” After what happened, Sage couldn’t possibly opt for Benjamin

anymore.

“I have something to deal with, so I’ll be off now.”

Priscilla got up and walked to the door. Then, she suddenly turned around and asked, “Ms. Joyner, if Mimosa changes its flavor, do you think it’s still worth investing in?”

Sage immediately understood what Priscilla meant.

“Do you mean that Mr. Xenith might withdraw his formula technology?”

“Think about the solutions and strategies in this regard.”

With that, Priscilla walked out of the VIP room.

Sage had a vague sense of Priscilla’s thoughts, but she wasn’t very sure about it.

Mimosa was famous because of its long–standing history and its status as an intangible cultural heritage. If it lost that part of it, Sage couldn’t tell what would become of it in the future.

In her previous life, Benjamin’s matter wasn’t exposed, and she didn’t know Priscilla either. Mimosa had successfully gone public as well.

In this life, because of Sage’s changes, many things had changed too.

When Sage left the spa, it was still early.

So, she decided to visit her grandfather.

Donald was elated at Sage’s sudden return.

As Sage dined with her grandfather, she asked casually, “Grandpa, how’s the company doing?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Your uncle is in charge of most things. I’m getting old now, so I can’t handle so much anymore.”

Donald found it strange. “What’s the matter? Are you trying to join the company? That’ll be wonderful! You’ll be Maven Corporation’s official perfumer!”

“Grandpa, I only dabble in perfumes as a hobby. I don’t want to turn my hobby. into a job!” Sage said playfully.

Donald sighed. “What a pity. You’re so talented too!”

Either way, she was the best and the most talented in Donald’s eyes. Sage was already used to it.

“Grandpa, many people have handed their companies to professional management teams. Why don’t we give it a try and hire some professional managers?” Sage asked.

“Why would we hire management teams out of the blue?”
