Chapter 121
A Farewell After Being Reborn
âIan, did you agree to the divorce?â Owen asked.
Ian sat on the couch with a poker face. âI donât make a habit of forcing others. Iâm not going to stop her
since sheâs so eager to be rid of me.â
âNo! Youâre not allowed to get a divorce!â Susan was so furious that she tore up the divorce agreement.
âHold on! Thatâs mine!â Sage lunged for the paper, but Susan simply shredded the divorce agreement
that she had worked so hard to get in the blink of an eye.
Susan tossed the scraps into the trash and dragged Sage out of the office. âLetâs go find your
grandfather. Iâd like to see if heâll allow you to do as you please this time!â
âIâm not going!â Sage struggled with all her might. âStay out of this! Iâll tell Grandpa myself.â
Owen rose to his feet. âYouâre coming with us, whether you like it or not! Iâve turned a blind. eye to your
antics in the past, but I canât believe youâre seriously considering a divorce! How could you treat your
marriage so lightly? I canât let you get away with this!â
âPlease donât take her seriously, Ian. Sage has always been impulsive. Weâll set her straight when we
get home,â Owen pleaded worriedly.
Ian glanced at the irritated Sage and said coolly, âItâs alright, Uncle Owen. I wouldnât have wasted my
time dealing with Sageâs antics if I hadnât been afraid that Grandma would worry.â
âOf course, of course,â Owen continued. âMrs. Holcomb Senior has always been fond of Sage. For her
sake, please donât let this get in the way of your relationship with Sage.â
Then, he and his wife pushed Sage out of the office. Ian glanced at the paper scraps that were in the
trash can. Ignoring them, he straightened his perfectly pressed suit and made his way to the
conference room.
The tension in the car was thick. The coupleâs faces were grim. Sage sat in the back seat, feeling
miserable.
After all her hard work, she had finally gotten her hands on the divorce agreement! However, things
had taken an unexpected turn and caught her off guard. From the looks of it, Owe and Susan werenât
going to let her off the hook so easily.
Sage had grown up with her grandfather and her mother. Owen, on the other hand, lived in the bustling
city. He would only come back occasionally to share a meal with them, and he showed little interest in
his niece.â
Thus, she and Owen werenât particularly close. However, Owen was still her grandfatherâs son and the
overseer of their family business, so she couldnât treat him like a stranger.
Now that the divorce was coming to her grandfatherâs attention, she needed to brace herself and
navigate the situation carefully.
As for the divorce agreement, she would just have to swallow her pride and ask lan to sign.
another one later. Sage leaned against the car window, closing her eyes.
The car pulled up to the courtyard of Joyner residence after an hourâs drive. Sage wanted to hop out of
the car and get to her grandfather first, but Susan stopped her. âLetâs go in together!â
Sage was rendered speechless. The driver opened the car door for them. Sage was escorted into the
living room by Owen and Susan.
Donald, who was playing chess with the butler, Dexter Moore, looked up in surprise when he spotted
the three of them. âWhat brings the three of you here?â
Dexter greeted them with a smile and left. Owen took a seat across from him, visibly irritated. â You
might want to ask your precious granddaughter what sheâs been up to!â
