Chapter 100


    But Ian outright ignored Sage’s provocative outfit. Instead, he chased her out of his study.


    Sage didn’t want to recall the dumb things she had done in the past. At the same time, she had no


    intention to argue withn over them.


    There were only a dozen or so days left till Linda’s birthday. When that day came, Ian would find out


    how determined Sage was in divorcing his ass.


    As they danced, Sage noticed Ivy dancing with another man.


    Ivy was wearing an ankle–length gown, so she looked exceptionally graceful while dancing. She


    seemed to share a pretty good chemistry with the man as well.


    The man said something to her, causing her to sh him a radiant smile.


    When Ian noticed Sage staring in a particr direction as though she was spacing out, turned to


    nce in the same direction, too.


    he


    “Oh? You must be feeling ufortable, right? After all, your best female friend is dancing with


    another man intimately.” Sage pointed out, clearly relishing in Ian’s distress.


    Ian turned back to look at her. “What does that have to do with me? Why would I feel ufortable


    about them dancing?”


    Ian’s tone gave Sage a strange feeling that he was actually giving her a valid exnation. He had just


    told her that he didn’t care about Ivy at all.


    Sage just harrumphed in response. She was about to retort when she noticed the chandelier above


    Ivy’s head swaying abnormally.


    Before she could voice out her confusion, she witnessed the chandelier snapping off the chain.


    Ivy’s dance partner instinctively felt that something was off. Propelled by his instincts, he took a wide


    step backward immediately. However, Ivy was left standing w looking surprised.


    A loud bang sounded one secondter.


    she was while


    At the same time, Sage could feel Ian’s hand leaving her waist instantly. Just the second before, he


    was still holding her tightly without the intention of letting her go. Now, he was rushing toward Ivy.


    Almost immediately, surprised screams mixed with concerned shouts and heated arguments erupted in


    the banquet hall. Someone could be heard calling 911 in the background.


    Countless people rushed toward the dance floor. A few of them even bumped into Sage’s arm roughly.

    Sage remained rooted to the spot on the dance floor without budging at all. She felt as though


    everything that had happened in thest moment was nothing but an illusion.


    The sight ofn picking the injured Ivy up was just an illusion. The sympathetic and mocking looks


    trained on her were one big illusion as well.


    “sage?”


    Sage had no idea how much time had passed before she heard Prisci’s voice. She turned to look at


    thetter quietly.


    “Are you hurt?” Prisci asked in concern.


    Sage shook her head. “No.”


    By then, most of the guests had already left the dance floor. Only a pile of shards was left there.


    Thanks to the sudden ident, the guests no longer had the mood to enjoy the banquet. They


    gradually left the ce under the hotel staff’s guidance.


    Many of the guests shot judgmental looks in Sage’s way. There were even people who tried to take


    photos of her from a secluded corner.

    “Are you going home now? Why don’t I have my driver send you home?” Prisci kindly asked while


    moving to block Sage from the cameras.


    But Sage shook her head again. “Prisci, you must’ve prepared many bottles of vodka, right?”


    A look of surprise appeared on Prisci’s face. “Yeah. You want to drink some?”


    “Yeah.” Sage nodded.


    Prisci ordered her subordinates to bring in the vodka.


    Mimosa had released the vodka in new designs. The alcohol now came in tiny oval bottles. At first


    nce, the product seemed more like a bottle of perfume with a simplistic design instead


    of vodka.


    When Prisci noticed Sage staring at the vodka bottle, she exined with a chuckle, “I came up with


    this design before my divorce with Ben. He hated how feminine this design was, so he gave up on it


    entirely. I just want to be innovative, so I decided to use this design for Mimosa’stest productunch.”


    Sage remarked, “It looks special. At the very least, it makes me want to buy it.”


    “Try it out.”


    Prisci opened a bottle of vodka and tried to pour Sage a ss. However, Sage turned her down


    immediately.

    “There’s no need for wine sses. The bottle’s size is very convenient, not to mention it looks great,


    too. I can just drink straight from the bottle.”


    There were reporters attending the banquet. Prisci was worried they might fabricate articles about


    Sage, so she suggested, “Why don’t we drink somece else?”


    Again, Sage shook her head.


    “I want to drink here. Why don’t we drink together, Prisci?”
