A Farewell After Being Reborn

Susan said boldly. “While you’re at it, ask lan if he can put in a good word for your uncle with Pacific Group. Owen wants to partner up with them!”

It was just as she expected.

Sage said straight away, “Aunt Susan, lan won’t listen to me. I won’t talk to him about these kinds of

things, either.”

Susan was upset. “Sage, you have shares in Maven Corporation too. Why are you so nonchalant about company matters? If the business deal is sealed, you’ll reap benefits too!” Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“How can you ask Sage to ask these things of lan?” Donald spoke up. “In the eyes of outsiders, our family is already dependent on the Holcomb family, but now, you’re troubling them even more.

“Sage is stuck in between, so think of how she’ll feel!”

Susan said, a little dejectedly. “Dad, you know how hard it is to run a business these days. Pacific

refuses to meet with us, but they have business dealings with Holcomb Corporation.

“If lan gets involved, we can seal the deal for sure!”

Donald retorted, “They must have their reasons for not meeting with you. You won’t think of a solution

yourselves, but you want to force Sage to ask lan for help instead. What’s up with that?”

“But-”

“No buts. Deal with it yourselves. You can’t cause trouble for Sage.” Donald gave orders right away.

Sage was touched. No matter what, Donald would always defend her.

“Aunt Susan, Grandpa is right. We can’t depend on lan for everything. So, I really can’t help you with this.”

Susan was upset to have failed, but she still reluctantly kept her mouth shut.

Sage was lan’s wife, after all, and Donald only ever took her side.

If Susan caused a ruckus, she would be the one at a disadvantage.

“I’m leaving now, Grandpa. Remember my suggestion, alright?”

With that, Sage left the hall.

“Dad, what did Sage suggest to you?” Susan was a little nervous.

Donald had already given Sage a lot of the shares, so Susan hoped that Sage wasn’t trying to get more. Those shares belonged to her family!

Donald could see what Susan was thinking about. He shook his head and said, “Sage isn’t as greedy as you think. Tell Owen to come home tomorrow.”

Sage drove safely back to Solaris Estate.

The car lan always drove was already parked in the garage. By the looks of it, he had returned.

In the past, she would look forward to his return, but he never bothered to come home.

Now, she kept wishing that he wasn’t home, but he was even more punctual than her.

Why was it so hard for her to get things to go her way?

As Sage entered the hall, Wanda walked up to her. “Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Holcomb has a fever. The doctor came over and gave him a checkup. He’s now resting upstairs.”

Sage nodded. “Oh.”

At noon, she had felt that lan had a fever, but she didn’t expect it to worsen so much that he had to see a

doctor.

After changing her shoes, Sage walked upstairs.

She didn’t notice that behind her, Wanda was hesitating to speak.

After opening the door to her room, Sage shook off her slippers and bag. Then, she skillfully undid her bra and removed it through her collar. She grabbed it and tossed it onto her bed..

“Ah!”

When Sage was tossing her bra, she noticed someone sitting on the bed!

She instinctively let out a scream.

In the next second, she realized that the person sitting on the bed was lan.

But before she had time to recover, she saw lan removing the bra from his head.

lan held the black bra with his slender and bony fingers. Sage felt an indescribable suggestiveness and embarrassment when she saw that.

“You! Pervert!” Sage was both furious and embarrassed. She hastily dashed over to him to snatch it back.

lan raised his hand higher so that Sage missed.

Sage reached out to snatch it again. This time, she caught it, but before she could hide it, a large hand

held her waist in place.
