Tiana had never expected Wilson to ask such a question, especially since she had made everything clear to him last time."Stop saying such inappropriate things," Tiana said bluntly. "Wilson, we haven't had any relationship for a long time."You don't want to let go, not just because of the little bit of affection you mentioned, but more because you're already used to having me around. Starting over with someone else would mean having to adapt again, which would be a lot of trouble for you."Wilson instinctively wanted to argue, but he had indeed become accustomed to having Tiana around and didn't want someone else to take her place.Moreover, Tiana didn't give him a chance to speak. She continued, "Since the divorce, you've done quite a few inappropriate things that have caused me a lot of trouble. Please be mindful of the impact in the future, because I don't want Calvin to be unhappy."Upon hearing these words, Wilson's previously expressionless face shifted slightly.He knew t
In the end, Wilson promised, "I won't bother you anymore."When she saw the sadness and pain in Wilson's expression, Tiana couldn't help but feel a bit of bitterness in her heart. After living together and loving him for over two years, they ended up as strangers."Thank you, Dr. Tate."…The next day, Sage went to Maven Corporation. The follow-up procedures for the batch of custom incense ordered by Abby had been fully completed.Abby personally went to pick up the goods, paid the remaining balance in full, and wanted to invite Sage, Zachary, and the others for a meal to show her gratitude.Maven Corporation's business volume had increased significantly recently. Zachary was busy and couldn't get away, so Sage went to have a meal with Abby.During the meal, Abby apologized to Sage for what happened at the Suttons' party. She mentioned that all her staff were newly hired and that she didn't expect them to be so easily bribed.Although Sage already knew that the matter had nothi
Simon poured himself another cup of tea."Shane is the youngest child in the family. When my mother was still around, she doted on him especially, which led him to develop a carefree and unruly personality from a young age. He has never liked following rules."Simon said calmly, "In his eyes, as long as it's something he likes, he'll do it without caring about what others think."So, even though he knew Ms. Joyner hadn't gotten divorced at the time, he still carried on pursuing you, which led to issues in Ms. Joyner's marriage. This is our fault. We didn't discipline him properly."Although Simon was talking about Shane's faults, Sage could sense that Simon was also subtly hinting at her own improper behavior.While she was still married, she "had a child" with Shane, and not long after, she divorced Ian. To outsiders, this seemed like a very unethical situation."Fortunately, the news about you was suppressed in time, so not many people know the details. Otherwise, Ms. Joyner's
Not far away, Shane was chatting confidently with the person in charge of CureX. Giselle couldn't help but comment, "He was nowhere to be seen a few days ago, but today he's full of energy. Have you forgiven him for what happened earlier?"Sage replied, "Forgiveness was irrelevant in this issue. Shane was actually framed from the start."Giselle joked, "Sage, you've only known Shane for a few months, yet you trust him so much. I really admire that."I heard that in the past, any woman who got close to him would be threatened or paid off to leave. If I were to witness an intimate scene like that day, I can't imagine what I would have done."Sage felt a slight pang in her heart. Giselle's feelings for Shane really reminded her of how she used to feel about Ian."Giselle, you love him very much.""Hey, hey, your sentence doesn't make sense. I might have had a crush on him when I wasn't thinking clearly, but now I've got no feelings for him whatsoever. If he doesn't think much of me,
Sage chuckled. Instead of answering, she asked, "What do you think I could be hiding from you?"Shane snorted. "Maybe you're wondering why Ian didn't go to the signing?"Bolton Investment had stepped in, and anyone could see that Ian did it on purpose, so Shane had always been bothered by it.Sage naturally understood that Shane wanted her to reassure him otherwise."Just think of it as me missing him," Sage said deliberately."Sage! You!" Shane was indeed infuriated."Why are you angry? Aren't you the one who said it?" Sage asked.Shane was instantly at a loss for words.Sage finally let out a laugh and said, "You asked the question even though you didn't want this answer. Now you can't handle it. Isn't this your own doing?"Shane realized that Sage was teasing him, and he wanted nothing more than to playfully pinch and squeeze her cheeks."But I didn't dare do anything," Shane said a bit wistfully. "Sage, I'm not angry. I'm just very envious that you and he share so much hi
Shane said, "That's perfect. Shekdotter Inc. previously had some financial-related businesses. Once the acquisition is completed, you can take over and manage it all together."Sage declined politely, explaining that Shekdotter Inc. was currently a project of Farsight, and there was no way she could take it over by herself.However, Shane informed her that the impending bankruptcy of Shekdotter Inc. was originally her doing. He was just helping her this time with the acquisition and had no intention of integrating it into his own company, Farsight.Sage felt somewhat moved, but she still refused, saying, "We should keep public matters and private matters separate. Since Farsight has gotten involved, it belongs to Farsight. You just need to give me my share according to our previous agreement."Sage was very firm, so Shane took a step back and suggested they discuss it further after the acquisition was completed.They temporarily reached a consensus on this matter."Is your unusua
Sage felt somewhat moved by Shane's declaration. Even after she said all that, Shane still wasn't willing to give up.Shane was someone who valued emotions deeply. The death of his mother already caused him a lot of pain. She doesn't want Shane to fall out with his family because of her. If Shane knew that Simon had visited her, the two brothers would definitely end up arguing.Sage said, "Shane, your brother did come to see me, but he didn't force me to do anything. Everything I'm telling you today is my own decision."You know how I used to pursue Ian. I never cared about what others said or thought. If it wasn't my own will, no one could force me to do anything."Shane naturally understood what Sage was implying. He stood up and said, "I'll send a driver to pick you up. I still have some things to take care of, so I can't take you back today."After speaking, Shane turned to leave. Sage knew what he wanted to do and exclaimed, "Shane, don't go looking for your brother! My decis
In the evening, Calvin drove over to pick them up.Seeing Calvin dressed more formally than usual, Sage teased with a smile, "Calvin, I've known you for so long, but it's rare to see you dressed so formally."Calvin looked at Tiana, a gentle smile appearing in his expression."After all, it's my first time meeting Tiana's friends as her boyfriend, so I have to pay attention to my appearance and make a good impression."Sage used to think of Calvin as a rich kid who only liked to indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun, and never took anything seriously.Before she was reborn, Sage wanted to befriend him as a way to get closer to Ian due to his close relationship with him. However, Calvin always avoided her.After her rebirth, she no longer tried to gain any favors. Instead, Calvin started giving Ian quite a bit of advice regarding their relationship.So, in Sage's mind, Calvin was someone with high emotional intelligence who understood women well.At this moment, when she s
