Chapter 87


    La was always on her phone, talking to her friends about clothes and handbags. She paid no


    attention to Henry’s attentiveness and only saw him as an ordinary pursuer.


    It was obvious that Henry must have done something elseter on to make La change her mind


    about him.


    “Hey, La, check it out! Your cousin’s handbag looks exactly like the limited edition one they’re selling


    online.”


    The woman suddenly eximed with envy, “Regr folks can’t get their hands on these handbags!


    They’re exclusively reserved for high–profile clients!”

    She spoke so loudly that even Henry, who was ying billiards, couldn’t help but look over.


    La said with a hint of jealousy, “It’s no surprise that she has so much money to spend. Not only did


    she marry into a wealthy family, my grandfather even gave her 100 million dors when she got


    married!”


    Sage didn’t deny that she was rich. When the waiter came over, she took out the ck card that Ian


    had given her.


    Amidst a chorus of envious gazes, she handed the card to the waiter and said, “Please take this and


    swipe it. I’ll cover all the expenses here today.”


    When Henry heard this, he walked over and said, “No way! I said I was treating, and I meant it. How


    can I let you foot the bill?”


    “No worries. I’m La’s family, after all. I can’t let you guys pay for it when we’re out having


    fun.”


    Sage said it casually as if it was nothing special. She didn’t seem to think it was a big deal to pay for


    everyone’s expenses.


    Refusing would make him seem ungrateful, so Henry pretended like it was no big deal and said,


    “Thanks a lot, then!”


    After swiping the card, Sage stood up and said, “I’m so sorry, but I just remembered that I have


    something to attend to. Please continue your fun!”


    La wasn’t thrilled to see her anyway, so naturally, she didn’t try to stop her from leaving.


    Sage took her handbag and walked outside. While waiting for the elevator, Henry came after


    her.


    “Hey, can I have your contact information?”


    Although Sage wasn’t really surprised by his actions, she still furrowed her brows and nced.

    at Henry.


    Henry immediately exined, “I had no other intention. Since you’re La’s cousin, I just thought I


    could learn more about her through you and be more involved in her social circle.”


    Sage asked nonchntly, “Are you trying to pursue La?”


    Henry frankly admitted, “That’s right. Although I haven’t known La for long, I really like her and want


    to pursue her seriously.”


    Sage adopted a haughty attitude and said, “Our family doesn’t ept just anyone, and my uncle really


    adores La since she’s her only daughter. He really treasures her, so he wouldn’t allow her to date


    just anyone.”


    “I’m well aware of that. I wouldn’t have had the audacity to pursue La unless I was sure I was worthy


    of her. My father owns a sizable agricultural productspany in our hometown.


    “While our family’s wealth may not rival your husband’s, I can guarantee that La will never face


    hardship with me.”


    Henry added, “I simply don’t wish to inherit my father’s business so soon. That’s why I came to Haldon


    City to make a name for myself!”


    She hit the nail on the head!


    Sage recalled that La’s boyfriend was involved in an agricultural productspany in her previous


    life.


    Sage unlocked her phone and said, “Alright, I’ll give you my contact information for now since you’re


    being so sincere.”


    Henry was excited to obtain Sage’s contact information. “In the future, I’ll need your help with stuff


    rted to La then!”


    Sage maintained her cold demeanor as she said, “Let me make it clear. I’m not saying. definitely help


    you. After all, this is a matter that concerns La’s entire life, so we can’t just


    rush into a decision.”


    “Ipletely understand your reservations. I’m confident that I’ll meet the expectations of both you and


    La.”


    When the elevator arrived, Sage didn’t say anything more to him and immediately walked into


    1. it.


    Henry’s face revealed a mixture of mockery and smugness as the elevator doors closed.


    She put on a fa?ade of aloofness and sophistication in front of him. However, she was nothing but a


    rich and simple–minded woman.

    That woman wouldn’t have stood a chance before him!


    When Sage arrived at the parking lot, she found that Henry had transferred her a sum of money, which


    was the exact amount she had paid with her card earlier.
