Chapter 37 Sage had determined the shareholding percentage based on the ownership ratio of


    Hob Corporation from her previous life. To ensure sess, she deliberately set it half a point


    lower. Although Farsight Investment might not match Hob Corporation’s prestige, the percentage


    was considered optimal, taking into ount all factors. Upon hearing this, Shane didn’t insist any


    further. “Do you need me to send someone with you tomorrow?” “No need.” Sage shook her head. “I


    think it’s better to approach it in a friendly way.” “Ms. Joyner, you are more intelligent than I imagined.”


    Shane looked up smile, though one couldn’t tell whether it was praise or a jest. with a Sage took it as a


    compliment. “Thank you, Mr. Morrison.” Shane didn’t dwell on it. He returned the investment n to


    Sage and said, “I’ll await your good news.” The next day, Sage got up early to dress up and headed to


    Benjamin’s house. The Xeniths lived in a high–end estate within the city, which featured a courtyard


    and flower beds on the ground floor. When Sage arrived, Prisci was apanying her mother


    outside to bask in the sun. Sage greeted them gracefully, introduced herself, and presented the gifts


    she brought. After that, Sage didn’t rush into the discussion about Mimosa. Instead, she spent some


    time with the elderlydy and enjoyed the sun with her. Then, she joined the two for lunch. Only after


    the meal did Sage bring up business. “Prisci, I apologize for bothering you with this matter. I know


    there are 1/3 +15 BONUS multiplepanies interested in investing in Mimosa, but Farsight


    Investment is undoubtedly the best choice.” Sage handed Prisci the letter of intent to invest along


    with the investment n while adding, “Take a look at the investment amount and shareholding


    percentage. You’ll see our sincerity.” Prisci was knowledgeable about the market. She examined the


    documents carefully. There was a hint of satisfaction on her face. “Alright. I’ll discuss this matter with


    Ben and the shareholderster today. You’ll hear from me in the next couple of days.” To Sage, not


    receiving a refusal was already a good start. She expressed her gratitude to Prisci. “Don’t be so


    polite. Putting aside everything, you and Tiana are good friends. Of course, I have to help you with this


    favor.” Prisci was efficient and straightforward. Putting business matters aside, Sage admired her


    character. “Once Tiana returns to the country, I’lle with her to have a meal with you.” “Sure!” After


    parting ways with Prisci, Sage called Shane. She updated him on the day’s events and asked him to


    prepare relevant materials and contracts for prompt delivery when needed. With everything settled,


    Sage returned to Sris Estate. While Prisci had indicated her willingness to help, nothing was


    certain until the contract was signed. So, as a precaution, Sage decided to create a new proposal just


    in case. As she was busy with this, her phone rang. It was a call from Josephine. “Mrs. Hob, Mr.


    Hob’s great uncle is hosting a dinner tomorrow. Mrs. Hob Senior wants you and Mr. Hob


    to apany her.” Ian’s grandfather, Elijah Hob, had two brothers. Each of the brothers had two


    children, which made it arge family with frequent gatherings. Sage used to enjoy such asions


    because, with the elders around, Ian wouldn’t 15 BONUS give her a hard time. Sometimes, at Linda’s


    request, he would even pick food and serve water for her. But now, Sage didn’t feel like going as she


    saw no meaning in attending family gatherings when she and Ian were going to get divorced.


    “Josephine, please let Grandma know that I already have ns tomorrow “Mrs. Hob, you can tell


    Mrs. Hob Senior yourself,” Josephine interrupted and immediately handed the phone to Linda.


    Chapter 38 The phone was on speaker, and soon Sage heard Linda’s saddened voice on the other


    end. “Sage, are you not willing to apany me just because you’re upset with Ian?” Sage had never


    heard Linda speak in such a tone, so she quickly replied, “I’m willing to apany you, Grandma.”


    “Then it’s settled. I’ll have the driver pick you both up tomorrow!” Before Sage could say anything else,


    Linda had already ended the call. Her tone sounded noticeably lighter. Sage felt helpless. The next


    afternoon, Sage received a call from the driver when it was time to depart. Upon reaching the car and


    opening the door, she was surprised to find Ian already sitting in the backseat. He was wearing a ck


    suit. He exuded an air of cold sophistication as he focused on hisptop. He looked every bit like a


    sessful figure on the cover of a financial magazine. When he heard the door open, Ian nced at


    her nonchntly before returning his attention to theptop. Sage cursed him in her heart. She was


    annoyed that he insisted on having Linda’s driver pick him up when he had his own personal driver. Not


    wanting to sit with him, Sage decided to close the door and head to the front passenger seat. “Don’t be


    difficult. Grandma is still waiting,” Ian spoke up upon sensing her intentions. Sage frowned. Wasn’t he


    looking at theptop? How did he know what she was thinking? Then, she noticed the driver staring at


    her and realized her actions were a bit childish. She pursed her lips and reluctantly got into theC0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    backseat. +15 BONUS During the journey, Sage was upied with her phone. She did not speak to


    lan. He, too, remained absorbed in his work in silence. After a while, the driver suddenly mmed the


    brakes, which caused Sage to lurch forward. She almost hit her head on the front seat. “Be careful.”n


    reached out to pull her back, and she ended up falling into his arms. “Mr. and Mrs. Hob, I’m sorry!


    Someone cut in ourne!” the driver apologized nervously. Ian didn’t say a word, while Sage was now


    partially leaning against his chest. For the dinner gathering, she wore a short–sleeved apricot top. From


    his perspective, he could see her delicate corbone and a hint of her chest. “Where are you looking!”


    Sage shook off his hand. She was wide–eyed.n coldly nced at her and retorted, “Why are you


    afraid of people looking when you’re dressed like that?” Sage was dumbfounded. Her outfit was pretty


    ordinary. It was nothing revealing -no cleavage, no exposed back. Why did he put it in such a crude


    way? “I guess people with dirty minds see things differently,” Sage rebutted without hesitation.n was


    taken aback. “Sage, have youpletely abandoned yourdylike pretense?” “Oh, so you still see a


    ladylike side of me? Haven’t you always said I was nasty and without a single redeeming quality?”


    argued Sage mockingly.n snapped, “I might not know about your other qualities, but your sharp


    tongue is truly unmatched!” “I’ll take that as apliment. Thank you!” At a loss for words, Ian didn’t


    argue further. He picked up hisptop and casually remarked, “Your proposal has been submitted to


    Bolton Investment. After several rounds of screening by the higher–ups, they’ve decided to use it.” +15


    BONUS Sage didn’t expectn to take her investment n to Bolton Investment. “Didn’t you


    understand what I said yesterday? I have no interest in joining Bolton Investment. Also, you can’t use


    my proposal without my consent!” Ian, still focused on theptop, calmly stated, “You’ll get one million


    dors as a bonus.” Immediately, Sage was stunned. She intended to use the 100 million dors from


    her grandfather to coborate with Shane. Meanwhile, she had maxed out Ian’s ck card previously.


    Thus, with limited cash on hand, this additional amount would make a significant difference.
