A Farewell After Being Reborn

“Even if there are risks, one must seek fortune amidst danger. In our line of work, aren’t some risks worth taking?”

Seeing Shane’s nonchalant smirk, Sage chuckled. “So, you never considered seeking my opinion.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Shane adjusted himself into a more comfortable position and said, “Ms. Joyner, you’ve got it wrong. I informed you of the outcome. I’m showing considerable respect, I’d say.”

Sage observed Shane’s relaxed and playful expression. She knew that the matter was already decided.

Since she proposed the partnership, Shane seemed more interested in her actions than the collaboration itself.

Now that he could secure Mimosa on his own, her presence was even less meaningful.

“Well then, let’s just pretend my proposal never existed,” Sage said.

“I thought, despite being a businessman, you wouldn’t blindly blur the lines

between right and wrong just for money. But turns out, you’re just as immoral. In that case, we don’t need to work together!”

With that, Sage stood up to leave.

However, Shane stopped her. “Ms. Joyner, wait a moment.”

Sage looked at him indifferently.

Shane then asked with a wicked smile, “Are you really willing to give up this opportunity? If you don’t join Farsight Investment, how do you plan to compete with Ivy, Ian’s beloved?”

Sage wasn’t surprised that Shane had investigated her and knew her intentions. Nonetheless, he only knew one side of the story.

Sage replied in a clipped tone, “You need not concern yourself with this matter,

Mr. Morrison. As long as I have a goal, I’ll find a way regardless of the circumstances.”

Just when Shane wanted to say more, his phone rang. Sage knew it was a call from his subordinates, so when Shane unlocked the screen, she left without waiting.

“What?!” Shane’s voice suddenly rose behind her.

“Stop right there!” Shane called after her. This time, his attitude was evidently hostile, and his usually affectionate eyes now held a menacing glint.

Sage raised an eyebrow. “What happened? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Shane sneered and said, “Mrs. Holcomb, you and Ian are quite adept at

coordinating. One deliberately leaked information to buy time, while the other silently resolved Benjamin’s matter!”

Sage was dumbfounded. She thought, “Ian has received the news too? And he acted so swiftly?”

“Don’t discuss morality with me so earnestly. You’re just putting on a show. If

you want, I can introduce you to the acting industry.”

Sage chuckled at that. “Mr. Morrison, let me offer a piece of advice. When you’re not as good as others, just admit defeat gracefully. Don’t blame your failures on others, as that only makes you look more incompetent.

“Don’t assume I’m as despicable as you claim. Even if Ian and I plotted against you, you brought it upon yourself!”

Fortunately, she hadn’t actually worked with someone as abominable as Shane to help Benjamin cover up a scandal for the sake of profit!

Shane was stumped by her words. His face turned furious. “Don’t think I won’t do anything to you just because you’re Ian’s wife! I’ve never been played by a woman. You aren’t going anywhere!”

With a wave of his hand, his hidden bodyguard suddenly appeared. “Yes, Mr.

Morrison?”

Shane’s voice turned icy as he ordered, “Tie her up. Take photos and send them

to lan. Tell him his wife is in our hands!”

“You’ve lost your mind!” Sage exclaimed as she stepped back in horror. “Don’t you know kidnapping is a crime?”
