"Besides, even if we've wronged him, so what? It's not like he hasn't falsely accused you many times before either," Tiana said.She continued indignantly, "He keeps believing Ivy's lies and blames you for all the trouble she causes. I get mad just thinking about it!"Let him experience now what it's like to be wrongly accused and understand how awful it feels!"Sage didn't intentionally want to get an eye for an eye back at Ian. Last night, when she saw Shane lying with another woman, she inexplicably thought of the unpleasant expression on Ian's face. It made her feel a bit suspicious of him.It wasn't until morning when the rumors about Shane started spreading, and she heard from Wanda that Ian hadn't returned all night, she immediately suspected that it was Ian manipulating public opinion.She was driven by anger, and without a second thought, she went straight to Holcomb Corporation to confront him.Sage had never even considered whether or not she might've wrongly accused I

After ending the call, Marcus put away his phone. He glanced casually at the photos on the table and picked them up. He took a quick look and then tossed them into the shredder.…Three days later, Sage found Shane in a private room at a clubhouse. He was drinking and playing dice games with some of his rowdy friends in the spacious room that even had a small stage where a pole dancer was performing.The private room was filled with smoke and noise, with the music blaring loudly. Sage decided not to go in and instead asked a waiter to call Shane out.After the waiter went in, Shane glanced toward the door. He said something to him and then continued drinking and playing games.The waiter came over and told Sage, "Mr. Morrison said he doesn't have time right now. If you need to discuss anything, please go to his office tomorrow."Sage ignored the waiter and went straight into the private room."Shane, can you step outside for a moment?" Sage walked up to him.Shane and his frien

Sage looked at him strangely and said, "Are you stupid? When I said I trusted you, I meant it. Why would I change my opinion of you because of something like that?""Yes, I'm stupid," Shane shamelessly admitted again. "Sage, go ahead and scold me a few more times!"Sage was speechless. She crossed her arms and said, "There's no rush. First, explain why you've been avoiding me these past few days. If you've decided to give up, then why didn't you just tell me bluntly?"Shane explained nervously, "I'm afraid you would mind, and I care about it too. I kept telling myself not to bother you anymore, but I couldn't help it… I just wanted to hold on for one more day. Maybe if you couldn't take it anymore, you would naturally be disappointed and stop paying attention to me."Sage rolled her eyes at him again and said, "Your way of handling things is truly considerate and special.""Sage, I'm really sorry," Shane apologized sincerely, his eyes seemingly filled with regret. "I won't do it a

Marcus smiled helplessly. He felt a headache as he asked, "Mr. Holcomb, did you and Shane plan this together to doubt me?"Marcus had stated that he was the strictest with Giselle in the entire family and would never do anything impulsive or illegal to protect her."Mr. Holcomb, I'm just an ordinary businessman. I came to Haldon City merely to expand my business, but I can't stand you and Shane constantly questioning me every few days."Marcus put down his wine glass and said, "Mr. Holcomb, if there's anything you want to know in the future or if you need my assistance with something, you can ask me directly. "I assure you I will tell you everything I know. However, I hope there won't be a next time for any baseless accusations or groundless suspicions."Sorry, Mr. Holcomb. I have some other matters to attend to today, so I need to leave early."Marcus calmly departed after he finished speaking.Shortly after that, Ian received a message from Terry."Mr. Holcomb, after I finis

There was anger, jealousy, pain, and annoyance, all mixed in a surging wave that could come crashing down.Sage felt a faint sense of unease.When Ian showed this kind of expression, it meant that his emotions were on the verge of exploding.Ian saw her trying to kiss Shane earlier at the clubhouse. Just now, Ian also saw Shane's message saying "Missing you". Which meant that right now, Ian was in a really bad mood.Sage calmly took a small step back and said, "Ian, you've had too much to drink. How about I ask Terry to send a driver to pick you up?"Ian remained silent, his expression stern. His thin lips pressed into a straight line, and his deep eyes seemed to be holding back something.Based on Sage's understanding of Ian's demeanor, Ian would definitely lash out at her if she were to say or do anything provocative toward him.When she considered their strength and speed, she could never match Ian.Sage moved back a little, preparing to persuade gently, "Ian—"Just as she
