Everyone's attention shifted toward the door. Even though they couldn't see what was going on outside, they could hear the people in the yard calling out "Mr. Holcomb" and exchanging greetings. It was almost as if the host had arrived. "Woah, Mr. Holcomb's here! Ms. Sutton, I've heard that you and Mr. Holcomb are going to tie the knot soon. He must be here for you today!" one of the women exclaimed enviously."That's a given," another woman chimed in. "It's Ms. Sutton's housewarming party. Mr. Holcomb wouldn't miss it. If there's a union between the Sutton and Holcomb families, they'd be unbeatable!""Exactly. Both of your families are powerful, and you're both so good-looking. The two of you are a match made in heaven!" someone else added, eager to butter up Abby. "Hush it, you guys!" Abby said, exasperated. "Mr. Holcomb and I have no intention to get married. It all started at a gathering when an uncle of mine told my father and Mr. Leo that our families should unite. "Mr. Le

Ian knew that he would only upset Sage like before if he walked over. She was all smiles with Shane, but her expression immediately became cold when she turned to look at him. She even warned him not to pick a fight with Shane. A wave of bitterness washed over him, and he ultimately turned around and walked away. After she was done playing the drums, Sage was practically glowing. Shane handed her a glass of water and said, "I have a band at my bar. Since you enjoy playing that much, why don't you join them and perform whenever you're free?""Are you talking about the bar where you had a bunch of bodyguards surround me to show me who's boss last time?" she asked.Shane was tongue-tied. Why was she bringing this up now?"What would've happened to me if Ian hadn't shown up that day? Were you really going to tie me up and lock me in a storeroom?" she pressed.He felt guilty when she asked him that. "Of course not! I'm a law-abiding citizen. I was just going to scare you a little."

Ian's heart skipped a beat when he heard that. Despite her young age, Sandy was very perceptive. She had also noticed Sage and Shane's close relationship and realized Sage couldn't always come over.He felt an indescribable sadness as he thought about the possibility of Sage having another man in her life in the future. After comforting his younger sister, he received a call from Terry and left her room."I've looked into it, Mr. Holcomb. There's still no sign of the two bikers who almost hit Mr. Joyner Senior in Colville. However, their bank accounts did receive a large deposit a few days before the accident."Terry continued, "But we didn't suspect anything when we initially investigated them because they were members of a racing club and the funds were transferred from the club."This time, I had someone trace the source of the deposit. The club explained that it was a reward arranged by a racing enthusiast. It was funded by them but transferred from the company's account."Acc

Shane's expression was ice-cold, and his threat made the voluptuous woman drop her hands from her face. Her voice was filled with grief and a touch of trepidation as she said, "You've got it all wrong, Mr. Morrison! I didn't even offer you a drink tonight. How could I possibly drug you?"I helped you because you were so drunk you could barely stand. How was I supposed to know that you would…" she choked out. "If you don't want to take responsibility, then so be it…"The woman raised her head, revealing the bite marks on her neck. She looked like she had been ravaged, and her sincere and pitiful words would've made any other man feel sorry for her.However, Shane wasn't buying it. "You want me to take responsibility?" He sneered. "Was that why you deliberately approached me?"The woman shook her head and continued to plead her innocence, claiming she had attended the party with a friend and happened to run into him. She insisted that she hadn't deliberately approached him or had a

His first thought was that Terry must've heard wrong. Sage hadn't set foot in Holcomb Corporation since her last visit before their divorce. Why would she come here now?"Maybe Mrs. Holcomb found out that you're helping her look into the Colville incident and came to thank you?" Terry said, hoping to please Ian.After all, it had been a while since Ian had relaxed. His mood would have improved if Sage had taken the initiative to come over. Life would be much easier for everyone when the boss was happy."The cops in Colville told me that Mrs. Holcomb has also asked about their progress several times. It seems like she's very eager to locate those two men," Terry said. "Mr. Holcomb, if Mrs. Holcomb asks you about it later, are you going to wait until we've thoroughly investigated everything before telling her, or are you going to tell her what we have found out so far?"If it were the latter, he might have to organize the information just in case.Ian responded, "We haven't uncove
