A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 19

Shane paused to create suspense, then continued, “You won’t be able to make me believe you without a logical reason.”

No one would be able to place their faith in a woman who claimed to want to work with them when they’d only seen each other once. To make matters worse, said woman was a competitor’s wife.

Sage understood this. She chuckled and said, “What if I were to tell you that.” we have the same goal?”

“Oh? Is your goal to take Ian down?” Shane was interested again.

“I can’t guarantee I can do anything to Ian’s other businesses, but I have to raze Bolton Investment to the ground!”

Bolton Investment was managed by Ivy. The torture Sage had gone through at the mental institution in her previous life made it clear that even if she didn’t want to fight with Ivy, Ivy wouldn’t let her off the hook.

If that were the case, Sage would settle the score with Ivy. She wanted to get even for everything she’d suffered in her previous life!

“I heard that you love Mr. Holcomb with your life, Mrs. Holcomb. You only managed to marry him after chasing him for years. Why are you suddenly trying to take him down? Have you turned on him?” Shane asked.

Sage’s smile faded a little. Before this, she’d hesitated over making an enemy out of Ian. But last night, when she’d asked him whether he would get together with Ivy after their divorce, he hadn’t denied it. This had immediately wiped her doubts away.

In her previous life, Ian had allowed Ivy to interfere with the mental institution’s operations. He’d aided and abetted her!

“I came here with utmost sincerity, Mr. Morrison,” Sage said. “100 million.

dollars isn’t considered much, but it’s still a considerable sum–and it’ll al be in your hands. If I can join your company, I’ll only be involved in the investment side of things.

“I won’t stick my nose into your confidential matters. No matter how you think about it, you’re not losing out. Or are you so afraid of Ian setting a trap for you that you don’t even have the courage to work with me?”

“Ooh, a challenge. I like it.” Shane was thoroughly interested now. “I’m very interested in working with you, Mrs. Holcomb. I’ll need to see how you perform, though–let’s start with you scoring the deal with Mimosa.”

“Sure,” Sage agreed readily. “I need to catch up with Bolton Investment, so send me everything you have on this project. I’ll give you a workable proposal in return before we decide on the details.

Shane held out a hand, looking like he was in a good mood. ” Here’s to hoping that we work well together, Mrs. Holcomb.”
