After meeting with the police, Zachary sent Sage back to the hotel. He
thoughtfully reassured her, “Don’t worry. I’ll follow up with the police on
your behalf and keep you updated on any progress.”She thanked him earnestly. Anyone would have dismissed the event as
a mere incident. Zachary was the only one who took her seriously and
patiently accompanied her in her investigation.When Sage was back at the hotel, she knocked on Donald’s door,
knowing that he must have been waiting for her update.He answered the door with a concerned look. “Sage, you’re back. You
don’t look well though. Is everything okay?”She shook her head and smiled. “I’m fine.””I called Zack to ask about it. He told me you checked the surveillance
footage of the incident. Look, what happened tonight was just an
accident. You don’t have to be worried about it,” Donald comforted her.
She remarked, “I just wanted to be sure. It was a freaky coincidence for
the two motorcyclists to almost run us over.””Grandpa, what are you discussing?”Sage heard lan’s voice asking a question from Donald’s phone. Donald
waved his phone at her, saying, “Sage, come join us. lan is on a video
call with me. You should chat with him too.”Staring at lan’s flat expression on the phone, she was oddly reminded
of the awkward memory from the time she accidentally answered lan’s
video call when she was changing her clothes.”It’s okay, Donald.” She began exiting the room. “I’m a little tired, so I’ll
rest in my room.”She had nothing more to discuss with lan at this point. When she was
back in her room, she called Shane.”Oh, my lovely Sage, you’ve been calling me quite frequently as of late.
Why? Missing me?” he teased playfully.Rolling her eyes, she asked, “You seem to know a lot of people in
Haldon City, don’t you?””Wow, why are you interested in my social life?” Shane gasped
dramatically. “Well, I wouldn’t say I know a lot of people. Anyway, I can’t
possibly introduce you to them, given your current status.”She retorted, “Is status important? Mr. Morrison, I thought you didn’t
care for this frivolous stuff.”Ads by NetpubShane choked in surprise. He didn’t expect that remark from Sage. She
didn’t give him a chance to fool around. Going straight to the point, she
asked if he could identify the people in some blurry footage.Feeling annoyed after being roasted, he replied, “No one can beat your
husband in terms of social networking. Why would you come to me
instead of asking him for help?”No way Sage would ask lan for help. She resolved not to be involved
with him in any way until she got her divorce. Besides, lan might alert
Ivy and side with her if he realized that she was implicated.She moved on from the topic and asked Shane, “Have Ivy’s people
signed the contract?”He replied nonchalantly, “They’ve agreed to sign. They have full trust in
us. We can get them to sign it in a few days.”Sage suggested, “If a guy called Henry York happens to contact your
people, tell them to sweeten the deal for him.”Shane immediately knew what Sage was up to. “Are you trying to start
an infighting?”She confirmed his guess. Before this, she had planned to gain Henry’s
full trust before making a move on him. However, that was no longer
necessary.As Henry was greedy for money and fame, and all she had to do was
entice him. There was no need to take the longer way. To expose Ivy’s
true nature, Sage was urgently in need of a helper like Henry.
