A Farewell After Being Reborn

However, lan was nowhere to be found when she reached downstairs. Sage called him, assuming that he was at the office, but his phone was powered off. She also couldn't get through to Terry's phone.

She eventually called the secretary's office at Holcomb Corporation and learned that lan and Terry had gone on a business trip to deal with an emergency. Even the secretary had no idea when they would return.

Sage thought it was a huge coincidence that lan was away on business on the day they were supposed to get the divorce certificate.

She couldn't help but feel like lan had done it on purpose, but she also knew that lan wasn't the kind of person who would come up with an excuse like that just to avoid getting a divorce.

Mulling it over, she decided to unblock lan and send him a message. "Why'd you go on a business trip all of a sudden, lan? Please don't tell me you're going back on your word."

"When will you be back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Sage was aware that she wouldn't get an immediate response from lan. She wanted to find Linda to vent her frustrations, but Josephine told her that she usually prayed in the morning and wouldn't be free.

Sage had no choice but to give up. Besides, she knew that Linda wouldn't help her force lan to sign the divorce papers.

Just then, Shane called to tell her that the other party had taken the bait. Hence, Sage decided to leave Holcomb Manor. Josephine watched her leave before she went into the chapel to report to Linda. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Linda was holding onto the cross Sage had given her when she said, "That rascal has finally come to his senses. He picked the right time to go on a business trip."

"Mrs. Holcomb Senior, Mrs. Holcomb seems very upset. Don't you think her relationship with Mr. Holcomb will worsen because of this?" Josephine inquired, worried.

"Those two are already at rock bottom. I'm sure it can't get much worse than this." Linda continued, "Sage is determined to get a divorce. I doubt this trick of his will make much of a difference."

Josephine was puzzled. "Mrs. Holcomb has always been in love with Mr. Holcomb. Why does she want to get divorced all of a sudden?"

The elderly woman shook her head

and said, "It's not her fault. It's already quite impressive that she was able to stick it out for so long. It's lan's fault for neglecting her for too long. That's what drove her to this."

"Do you think Mr. and Mrs. Holcomb will be able to get back together in the future?" Josephine asked.

Linda sighed softly. "I can't say for sure. Let's just leave it up to fate."

Meanwhile, Sage arrived at Shane's office. He was still lounging at his desk, looking nothing like a businessman. When he noticed her, he tossed the contract over at her and said, "It's done."

He paused before continuing, "I

et

followed your instructions and offered Henry a sweet deal. He's on

board and is now gearing up to launch the project." Sage was very pleased with his efficiency

"By the way, I have all the necessary documents from Professor Braun. Once you sign the contract, we'll be able to start marketing the drug," he added.

Sage tucked away the relevant documents and said, "Alright, I'll reach out to Professor Braun right away and aim to have the contract signed within the next couple of days."

Sage recalled the request Shane had made in the past-once this was over, she would have to perform a drum solo for him.

"No can do," he responded lazily.

"The HR department has decided to arrange for Giselle to be your assistant. It's not work, but the drum solo was a condition you agreed to. You can't go back on your word now, can you?"
