Chapter 101
A Farewell After Being Reborn
Priscilla could guess why Sage was feeling blue. Hence, she nodded without hesitation. Alright, letâs
drink to our heartâs content!â
The girls sat in a corner, sipping their wine. The banquet hall, which had been bustling with activity just
a moment ago, only had a few employees cleaning up now. This made them look lonely.
Priscilla couldnât help but feel bad for Sage, who was struggling to keep her tears at bay. âIf you want to
cry, Sage, just let it out. Donât hold it in.â
Sage, who was clutching the wine bottle to her bosom, shed a few tears as soon as she heard.
Priscilla.
Priscilla found Sageâs demeanor both beautiful and pitiable. How could Ian leave behind his stunning
wife and rush to the hospital with another woman in his arms?
âItâs getting late, Sage. Let me drive you home,â she offered after finishing her bottle.
Sage obediently accepted, allowing Priscilla to help her into the car.
âDo you want to crash at my place for the night, Sage? Iâll have someone get you home tomorrow,â
Priscilla asked from the driverâs seat.
âThanks, Priscilla, but that wonât be necessary.â All of a sudden, Sage sat up straight. Even though her
eyes were still glassy, she did not appear as sad as she was before.
âGet the companyâs PR department ready to reach out to several platforms and influencers. We might
need them later,â she continued.
Realization dawned on Priscilla after she heard that. The pieces started falling into place, a her eyes
widened. âSage, you donât mean⦠But Iâm afraid there will be harmful rumors if word gets out. Wouldnât
that be bad?â
Sage scoffed. âI donât mind. All I care about is the moolah.â
Priscilla squeezed her slender shoulder. âAlright, Iâll go along with your plans.â
Meanwhile, Ivy was still out cold, having sustained injuries to her head and arm from the chandelier.
Her wounds had been cleaned and stitched up, but the condition of her head would have to be
confirmed after she woke up.
Several other guests also sustained minor injuries and were treated at the same hospital.
Ian sat in the corridor while Terry updated him on the situation. âThe hotel said that the chandelier was
cleaned and replaced yesterday. However, a staff member messed up, causing
the wires to snap. The hotel promised to come forward and apologize and to bear all responsibility. Iâve
also appeased the injured guests and arranged for them to be taken home.â
âAlright.â Ian massaged his temples.
âMr. Holcomb, you must be tired from dealing with the board. Why donât you head home and get some
rest? Iâll have someone notify you when Ms. Shekdotter regains consciousness.â
All of a sudden, Ian remembered something. âHas Sage gone home?â
Terry hesitated. âIâve been too caught up with the guests. I did not keep track of Mrs. Holcombâs
whereabouts. Let me call Wanda and find out.â In no time, he learned that Sage had already returned
home and was fast asleep.
Ian heard their conversation and rolled his eyes.
âSeriously? I canât believe she didnât even bother to check in with me and just went home to hit the hay
after what happened tonight.â He snorted: âGet the driver to pick me up. âMr. Holcomb! Mrs. Holcomb,
sheâ¦â Terry gasped just as lan was about to leave.
