Chapter 69


    She didn’t want to concern herself with him anymore. Instead, she asked Michael gently, “Are you hurt?


    Do you want to get anything checked at the hospital?”


    Michael didn’t look too embarrassed. He withdrew his hand and shook his head, saying, “I’m okay,


    miss.


    I’m really sorry about today. I didn’t mean to drag you into this mess.”


    “What do you mean by that? It was their fault in the first ce. It’s gettingte. You should get back.”


    Michael nodded and said. “Okay.”


    As soon as Michael was gone, Sage looked atn rather angrily and said, “Don’t you know basic

    manners? Why did you ignore his hand?”


    “Are you very close with him?‘n asked instead of answering Sage’s question. “Why does he call you


    miss‘ like that?”


    “So what if he calls me that? Ivy calls you ny,” and I’ve never had any qualms about it!”


    same! How could you defend another man in public? Have you forgotten who you’re legally married


    to?”


    “You don’t have to keep reminding me of that. Of course, I remember,” Sage said. “You say that as if


    you’ve never defended Ivy before.”


    Sage sighed and continued. “I don’t even understand why you’re doing this. You don’t want me seeing


    other people behind your back, but you refuse to divorce me.


    “And you also don’t seem keen on giving an official title to the one person who’s been waiting for you.


    You’re a fucking jerk with double standards!”


    growled, “Get in the car. I have something to ask you.


    Sage said, “No, thank you. You can say whatever you want to say to me right here. I drove here.”


    Sage refused. “We will go home and discuss. I need to focus on driving when I’m in the car. I can’t get


    distracted talking to you.”

    “Sage Joyner, this is an order!”n was starting to lose his cool. “If you don’t want me to bundle you up


    into my car, open the doors now!”


    Sage was stunned for a moment. She could tell thatn was on his wit’s end. Worried that he would do


    exactly as he’d threatened, Sage quickly unlocked her car doors.


    Sage looked ahead and said impatiently, “So what is it?”


    “Were you the one who came up with the Mimosa investment n for Shane thest time?”


    Screech!


    Sage suddenly stepped on the brakes and stopped the car, causingn to nearly crash into the


    dashboard. Even his driver, who’d been following them, almost crashed into them.


    “How the fuck do you drive with such lousy skills like this?”n roared.


    Sage merely frowned and asked, “Why are you suddenly bringing it up?”


    looking for Shane because of Benjamin’s affairs?”


    Sage replied with another question of her own, “Did you get someone to follow me?”


    “So it’s true, then?”n’s eyes turned steely. He said, “So, tell me why you went looking for him and


    came


    up with an investment n for him.”


    Sage refused to answer. Instead, she stepped on the gas and said, n Hob, I’m not repeating


    myself again. Anything I do has absolutely nothing to do with you. I don’t have to exin myself to you


    at


    all.”


    “Are you using this as a way to outshine Ivy?”n asked, looking at Sage’s perfect side profile.


    *Are


    Sage couldn’t be bothered to answer him.


    “Sage Joyner, I thought you’ve changed. I see that you’re just using a different way to annoy me.


    “I don’t care how huge of a fuss you n on kicking up, but let me give you a warning. Shane is not a


    good person. Don’t even think of begging me for help if you fall into his trap.”


    What did he mean by “a warning“? And what did he mean by “begging him for help“?


    He was thoroughly looking down at her and her capabilities!


    However, Sage only rolled her eyes in silence. She didn’t want to argue further withn.n finally lost


    his patience and said nothing more, his face turning cold and frosty.
