Chapter 71


    Sage then continued learning more about Mimosa’s current predicament.


    Prisci still had other things to attend to, so Sage got up and said, “Don’t worry about anything.


    Prisci. I will always support you. Leave the funding part to me. I’ll think of something.”


    “You’ve always been a good friend to me,” Prisci said with a chuckle. “I’m eternally grateful that


    you’re willing to help out. But I know that with Mimosa being where it’s at now, nobody would ever want


    to


    Invest in it anymore.”


    Sage understood what Prisci was trying to say. Nheless, she sincerely hoped that she would be


    able to help thetter out of this pinch.


    Aftering out of Mimosa, Sage received a call from Tiana. As it turned out, she’d also read about


    the


    news on Mimosa.


    “How could Benjamin do such a thing? It’s unbelievable! How could he do such dirty, shady things


    while pretending it was all charity work for him? I wonder if the police are going to question him about


    it!”


    Tiana sounded furious on the phone. Sage just replied, “Prisci had made a police report against him


    in the past. However, the girls from the orphanage said they willingly followed him to the bar. They also


    said that they were with Benjamin out of their own ord.


    “The people at the orphanage said the private agreements they made with Benjamin were all for the


    sake of the orphanage as well. So, other than this being morally wrong, there’s no other way to convict


    them.”


    “So he’s getting off scot–free just like that?” Tiana huffed.


    Sage replied, “Benjamin has left Mimosa for now. After being caught in a scandal like this, I don’t think


    he’s going to do very well, even if he sets up a whole other winery by himself. I guess he’ll still get what


    he deserves.”


    “What do you mean by that? He’s still filthy rich! His name might be in the dumps for now, but


    ultimately,

    he lost nothing!”


    Tiana continued swearing and cursing at Benjamin for a while more. Then, she changed the topic and


    started asking about Prisci. Sage simply told her everything she knew.


    “How are you nning to help Prisci? Will Farsight Investment still want to invest in Mimosa?” Tiana


    asked.


    “I don’t think so.”

    Sage then filled Tiana in on her argument with Shane. “Even though such a thing never happened, I


    reckon that Shane might not want to invest in Mimosa that easily anymore in order to protect his


    interest.


    While Sage did have some funds on hand amounting to a hundred million dors, it wouldn’t be enough


    for Mimosa in its current state. At most, it would just save them in the short term. However, the funds


    were far from enough to help Mimosa expand or even think about being a listedpany.


    And if they couldn’t turn things around and clear Mimosa’s name, it would be useless for her to


    continue


    investing in it.


    There wasn’t anything Tiana could do to help. “Don’t feel too pressured. I’m sure Prisci won’t me


    you if you can’t help her.”


    After chatting for a while longer, Sage asked, “Tiana, so what’s it been like after being in Lathuyria for


    the past few days? Did anything interesting happen?”


    Tiana replied, “What kind of interesting things were you hoping to happen? Wilson’s been attending


    conferences left and right. By the time he returns to the hotel, it’s alreadyte at night. But whenever he


    has a bit of free time, he’ll make it a point to bring me around.


    “We even met up with one of his old ssmates he hadn’t seen in a long while for dinner.”


    “A female ssmate?” Sage asked.


    “Yeah.” Tiana said. “She went to the same university as Wilson. She then left abroad to further her


    studies. She happened to attend the conference this time.”


    Sage could guess that this old female ssmate was Wilson’s old me. First love, even.


    “Is she pretty?” Sage asked, trying to imply something. “Did you sense anything out of the ordinary


    while you were having dinner with her?”


    Tiana could tell at once what Sage was implying. “You’re overthinking things! His female ssmate was


    gorgeous and quite generous, too. She never acted out of line. She talked to me a lot during the dinner.


    She didn’t even talk much to Wilson.”


    Sage was even surer of her hunch now. “Tiana, my poor, dumb friend, if you met an old me and his


    spouse by coincidence, would you still continue talking to him?”


    Tiana thought for a while after hearing what Sage had to say. She then responded, “I’d never dated

    anyone before Wilson. I’ve also never met anyone else whom I’ve felt anything for until I met him.”
