A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 10 The man was handsome. He wore a casual white suit. If the average Joe were to wear something like that, it'd be a disaster. But on the man, the white Sult accentuated the natural nobility and laziness in his temperament.

He was devilish.

Sage couldn't help feeling like she'd seen him somewhere before but couldn't remember where.

“Mr. Morrison,” the driver said nervously.

The man looked at Sage.

“I'm sorry for delaying you. I'll take full responsibility for this,” Sage said earnestly.

The man smiled devilishly. “Aside from the cost of fixing the car, you'll also have to compensatefor the mental distress you've causedand the cost of delaying my business.

“I have a deal worth ten billion dollars that | need to sign the contract for. Now that you've delayed me, you're gonna have to bear responsibility for all of that.” Sage smiled faintly at his preposterous demands. “You look like a proper gentleman, sir, and an affluent one to boot. | didn’t expect you to make a living through extortion.” It was no wonder the driver had been so familiar when taking photos of the damage done.

The man didn’t get mad. His expression remained devilish as he said, “It doesn’t matter what | do for a living. If you can’t afford to compensate me, have your car's owner deal with me.” Sage understood now. The man’s target was actually fan. At the stime, EB lightbulb lit up in her mind. She remembered who the man was now- Shane Morrison, lan’s biggest competitor.

In her previous life, she'd never cinto direct contact with Shane. But when she’d been in the mental institution, she’d seen him on the news before. At the time, Shane’sworth was almost equivalent to lan’s.

The company he'd established had also been second only to Holcomb Corporation.

“Mr. Holcomb, there's a woman here who claims to be your wife. She rammed into my car while driving your car.

What do you think we should do about this?” Sage was still taking a trip down memory lane when Shane had already called lan.

“Here, talk to your husband.” He handed the phone to her.

Sage was speechless. Then, she accepted the phone and said, “Hello?” “Did you drive out alone?” lan sounded impatient, but his tone wasn’t too nasty.

“Yeah.” “Are you injured?” “No.” “Stay there.” He hung up after that.

“I've long since heard about Mr. Holcomb having a gorgeous wife. Today, I've finally gotten to see you in person.

It looks like the rumors are all true!” Shane complimented. But who knew whether he was being sincere? To hell with him and his rumors. lan hadn't thrown her a wedding when marrying her. Only those closest to him knew he was married.

Sage put on a perfunctory smile. “Well, I've long since heard about you being good at raking in the dollars, Mr.

Morrison. It's admirable and an honor to meet you in person.” 2/4 As she spoke, she used Shane’s phone to dial her number. He watched her with interest. “I hope that you won't hold out onif | ever get the chance to learn a thing or two from you in the future.” She returned his phone. He raised an eyebrow. “Let's see how things go.” Soon, the traffic police and Shane's lawyer arrived. lan was right behind them in his Maybach.

Sage was surprised to see lan get out of the car. It was good enough if he could send Terry to deal with something like this. What was he doing here in person? Terry spoke to the police and lawyer while lan walked over to her and Shane. He wore a black shirt which accentuated his handsfeatures. His sharp suit and flawless figure made him exude a natural regality and dominance. 2 Earlier, Sage had felt that no one could hold a candle to Shane's devilishly handslooks. Now that lan was here, she couldn't help thinking that lan was a tad bit better than lan.

“It’s been a while, Mr. Holcomb.” Shane held out a hand.

lan ignored him. He glanced at Sage instead. “What happened?” “It was just a normal accident at first, but he wanted to extort you.” Sage pointed at Shane, pushing the blon him.

“Now, now. There's a little bit of an issue with what you've just said, Mrs. Holcomb. I'm not extorting-I'm robbing.” Shane didn’t get mad.

On the contrary, he gave lan a challenging look. “I heard Bolton Investment is thinking of investing in Mimosa, Mr. Holcomb. Just so you know, I'm taking that away from you. Think of it as my first gift to you upon returning to the country.” lan snorted almost inaudibly. “Can you handle it?” 3/4 +15 BONUS “How about we make a little bet, Mr. Holcomb? If | bag the deal, you'll have to givethe piece of land for the Green City.” lan snorted again. “You've got a big appetite.” Shane laughed as well. “I'll take it that you've agreed to the bet, then.” lan ignored him. He said to Sage, “Get in the car.

Then, he strode toward the Maybach. Sage didn’t want to leave with him, but he’d cin person to deal with the accident she'd caused while driving his car. She couldn't be too rude, so she followed him.

As she got ready to open the back seat door, lan said coldly, “Do you think I'm your driver?” Sage had nothing to say in return. She got into the front passenger seat.

lan didn’t look too pleased as he drove. In the past, Sage would thank him gratefully and tell him every minute detail of what had happened. Now, she didn’t think there was anything for them to talk about. She scrolled on her phone instead.

They made the journey in silence. Suddenly, a car behind them honked and flashed its lights incessantly.

Sage looked at it in the rearview mirror. It was Shane-he was following them in his dented car.

lan saw him as well. He didn’t speed up or slow down, merely continuing to drive at his own pace.

There was a red light ahead. Shane stopped the car in the lane to Sage’s right. He waved a hand at her, indicating that he had something to say.
