Ian came to a halt and looked at his assistant. Terry handed his phone to him. “Mrs. Hob is
trending on Twitter.”
Ian took the device and scanned the screen. Besides the news of the ident at Hob
Corporation’s party, there were multiple articles about Mrs. Hob getting drunk. He clicked on one
of them and was greeted with a series of images.
The first photo was of Sage standing alone on the dance floor, dressed in a gown. The second image
showed her holding a bottle of wine and chugging it with her head thrown back. In the third photo, she
was holding an empty bottle with teary eyes.
The person who shared these photos included the following caption: “There was an ident at
Hob Corporation’s party. Mr. Hob rushed to the hospital with the injured beauty, leaving Mrs.
Hob alone in tears and inebriated. The couple seems to be in a marital crisis.”
In the first photo, Sage stood alone on the dance floor, her once–radiant face and bright eyes showing
only loneliness. This made it seem like her marriage was indeed in trouble.
There were also numerousments below the post iming that they had never heard of a ” Mrs.
Hob“.
In addition, insiders were iming that Ian and Sage’s marriage was forced on them by their families
and that the couple had no feelings for each other.
Rumor had it that the couple had already signed the divorce papers, and it was only a matter of time
before they announced it. Besides that, someone also shared a link to a video of Sage drowning her
sorrows in the banquet hall.
Ian clicked on the link. Sage was lifting her wine bottle defiantly in the video, screaming,” Men are all
scumbags!”
Beside her sat Prisci, who raised her ss in agreement. Sage then leaned onto Prisic… shoulder.
Under the lights, her nose was bright red.

phone back to Terry and headed toward the elevator.
Perplexed, Terry took a look at his phone. Surprisingly, there was yet another trending topic concerning
Mrs. Hob. The headlines were equally as eye–catching.
