Chapter 84


    Ian raised his gaze when he felt Sage’s gaze on him.


    When Ian saw her gaze was fixed on him, his eyes shone with delight.


    Sage took a deep breath and calmed herself down.


    No matter how handsome he was, she still found him repugnant!


    Sage coldly asked as she walked downstairs, “You’re the one who brought me to bedst night, right?”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of cutlery dropping could be heard from the kitchen.


    Sage turned around and saw Terry’s shocked expression.


    Terry quickly recovered from the shock. He picked up the fork from the floor and pretended nothing had


    happened as he retreated into the kitchen.


    “Mrs. Hob, what-”


    Terry even held back Wanda, who was about toe out from the kitchen.


    Wanda was left puzzled by his actions, asking, “What are you doing? I was just about to ask Mrs.


    Hob what she wanted for breakfast!”


    Terry dragged Wanda into the kitchen, saying, “Wanda, please take a look at this fork and see if it’s too


    slippery from the oil.”


    “It’s obviously very clean, though…”


    Terry’s and Wanda’s voices faded away into the kitchen.


    Sage thought about what she had said earlier, realizing that her words could really be easily


    misunderstood. She felt her cheeks flush a little as she thought about it.


    “Yeah, it was me,” Ian, unsure if Sage had done that intentionally, said in a teasing manner.


    Sage suppressed her embarrassment and coldly said to Tan, “Didn’t we agree that you’re not allowed


    to take advantage of me?”


    Ian put down the documents in his hand and said calmly, “As the saying goes, ‘forgive and forget.‘ It’s


    been a night now, so I think we can put an end to this cold war.

    Sage was rendered speechless.


    What kind of nonsense was that?


    Before she could say anything, Ian added, “You should get ready. You’ll be apanying me to the


    Hob Corporation’s banquet tomorrow night.”


    Sage directly refused him. “Sorry, but I have other ns.”


    Since it was a banquet held in celebration of the acquisition of Bolton Investment, Ivy, as the director,


    would inevitably be the center of attention. That was why she didn’t want to


    attend it.


    “As my wife, isn’t it quite normal for you to apany me to such corporate banquets?”


    Taking out two cards and cing them on the table, Ian said, “I’m not going to let you work for nothing.


    Take this ck card and go get yourself some new clothes.”


    It wasn’t out of the question to consider it if there was money to be made.


    After all, she wouldn’t be able to spend his money anymore after they divorced.


    Besides, since Ian had brought up the whole “normal married couple interaction” matter, she couldn’t


    really refuse him.


    “After the divorce, you won’t force me to pay half the amount of the jewelry and bags I bought, right?”


    Sage asked, somewhat worried.


    Ian gritted his teeth and said, “Everything you bought will be yours!”


    Sage took the ck card and said, “It’s a deal, then.”


    Then, she looked at the other bank card on the table and asked, “What’s this card fo


    Despite feeling a little annoyed, Ian said, “It’s the one million dor reward for the investment n you


    had previouslye up with.”


    Sage was somewhat perplexed about it. “The investment ns for Mimosa had all been. canceled. Are


    you sure you still want to give me the money?”


    Furthermore, Ian also knew that the investment n wasn’t intended for Bolton


    Investment.


    Ian saw through her thoughts, and he scoffed. “I’m a man of my word, so I’ll do what I say. I don’t want


    you to use this as an excuse to say I’m a liar.”


    As Sage thought about the one million dors that was up for her to grab, her face lit up

    with joy. When she picked up the card, she couldn’t help but tter him. “Thank you, Hob! You are


    indeed a man of your word–so reliable and trustworthy!”


    Mr.


    Jan looked at Sage with a hint of disdain and said, “You were raised in luxury by the Joyners, so why


    do you have to be so greedy?”


    “What’s wrong with liking money?”


    Sage corrected him, stating, “Money is the foundation of an adult’s life. No one would everin
