Perhaps her gaze was too intense, but Giselle turned over and looked in her direction. The smile on Giselle's face stiffened when their eyes met. "Ms. Joyner, what a coincidence! Are you here to pick Shane up as well?" Giselle walked over to her without hesitation.Sage wasn't sure how she should treat Giselle. Before she went abroad, Shane intentionally created a lot of misunderstandings and even went to Morita in search of her. She figured Giselle must hate her.Sage had already explained that nothing was going on between her and Shane, and she even tried to persuade Giselle to give up on Shane the last time he tricked her into going to the restaurant and meeting Giselle. However, it was clear that Giselle did not want to give up on Shane.Sage could only maintain her composure in the face of Giselle's accusatory tone. "I owe Shane a favor. He used it to coerce me into picking him up. Would you believe that?"Giselle abruptly raised her voice and shouted, "You don't have to rem

Sage was rendered speechless. Shane was a pro at wining and dining. He effortlessly named a restaurant that wasn't far from where they were that had a great atmosphere and delicious food. Since Sage was starving, so she drove to the restaurant he suggested. After they arrived, Sage handed the keys to the valet and walked into the resplendent lobby with Shane."Mrs. Holcomb?" A waiter had just come over to greet them when a woman's voice came from behind them. Sage turned around and was surprised to see Ivy. She was clad in a professional-looking suit. Beside her were several men in suits, and Ian, who was wearing a black suit. The group had obviously just finished lunch and were descending the stairs. Ian, who had been conversing with the person next to him, looked up when he heard Ivy's voice. His gaze darkened when he noticed Sage and Shane together. "Mr. Morrison, you're here as well. What a coincidence! Are you guys here for lunch?" Ivy greeted Shane as if she were oblivio

Ian nodded slightly and walked into the elevator. Ivy tightened her grip on her phone and walked toward another elevator.…Calvin was already there when Ian arrived at his office. The former wasted no time and handed the latter a folder. "Ian, I found out that Mrs. Holcomb's friend, Delilah Stromberg, has secretly been in touch with Ivy. Here are their call records and some photos from a café."Ian took the folder and looked through its contents. Just like Calvin had said, the folder contained call logs and several screenshots from the surveillance footage. "Were there any financial dealings?" he asked.Calvin shook his head. "I had someone look into it but couldn't find any. Ms. Stromberg has been spending a lot on designer shoes and bags lately. Plus, it's all from her own pocket."Mrs. Holcomb used to gift her those," he explained. "But she and Mrs. Holcomb had some kind of fallout recently. Mrs. Holcomb seems to have blocked her phone number as well."Oh, and Ms. Stromberg's

Ian handed the documents on his desk to Ivy when he heard that. Ivy took them, gave them a quick once-over, and frowned in confusion. "These are all my call logs with Ms. Stromberg, and a picture of us at a café. What's the problem?"Ian asked lowly, "Did you arrange for Delilah to go to your place and make a scene that night?"Ivy seemed a bit lost at first. Then, her eyes widened in realization. "Hold on. Do you think I'd ask Ms. Stromberg to humiliate me just because I've talked to her a few times?"Her expression became solemn. "I don't understand why you'd have such doubts. I indeed know Ms. Stromberg, and we've met before. She has my contact number, but I would never pull something like that."Ivy explained that Delilah had taken the initiative to ask for her contact number and followed her on social media at a party a few months ago. Then, she learned from her posts on social media that Delilah was Sage's friend. Every time she posted a story, Delilah would leave snide a

"Grandpa, Zack!" Sage called out gleefully."You're back, Sage." Zachary smiled warmly.Sage walked up to them and took a seat beside her grandfather before she asked Zachary, "Zack, are you here in Haldon to join Maven Corporation?""Zack's going to help us out at Maven Corporation for a year. Then, we'll see how things go," Donald responded. Zachary nodded. "I don't feel like going abroad right now since Grandpa's gone. Luckily, Grandpa Joyner invited me over, so here I am."Sage couldn't help but feel a little sad when she thought about Thomas. "My condolences, Zack. From now on, consider us your family here in Haldon.""Aww look who's all grown up and knows how to comfort people now," Zachary chuckled and teased."Ain't that right," Donald chimed in. "My precious granddaughter's all grown up and knows how to worry about the family business now. She's been clamoring to hire someone trustworthy. She'll finally be at ease once you join the company."Sage smiled. "Of course! B
