Chapter 111


    Sage couldn’t help but sneak a peek when she heard that name. As she craned her head, she saw


    Henry York. He was dressed in a tracksuit with his hair slicked back. He was hanging out with two other


    shady–looking men while smoking


    cigarettes.


    Instinctively, she hid behind the bamboo grove.


    “That woman and a few of her ssmates will snap some photos here. Of course, I have to stick


    around.” He took a puff and exhaled. “Rx! You’re free to leave after you help me with something. I’ll


    even foot the bill for a night out at the bar!”


    “What do we have to do?” one of them asked.


    “Shove that La chick into theke.”

    “Whoa! What are you up to, Henry? Murder is illegal!”


    “What the hell are you talking about?” Henry kicked the guy. “I’m only asking you guys to push her into


    theke. I’ll save her right away!”


    “Ooh, I see what you’re up to, Henry. You’re going to be her knight in shining armor, huh? Then, you’ll


    be able to give her CPR, take her to a hotel, help her change into a fresh set of clothes, and all that


    jazz…”


    His words became increasingly outrageous, but Henry didn’t deny anything.


    Instead, he snuffed his cigarette and said, “I’ve been courting her for days, but she keeps blowing me


    off. So, I have to do something else. Remember, you need to lure her somewhere no one will notice.


    And don’t just shove her! Make it look


    like an ident. That’s the only way she’ll trust me,” he exined.


    “No worries, you can count on us!”


    The three swaggered out of the bamboo grove with their n in ce.


    Sage then cautiously walked out. It made sense, though. La didn’t seem interested in Henry, It was


    no wonder that he needed such a pathetic n.


    Sage retreated to the restroom to avoid running into Henry. Then, she pulled out

    her phone and was about to call her aunt Susan when she noticed a message from


    Ian.


    “Do you have something you need to tell me?”


    Unbelievable. What could she possibly have to tell him? With no time to spare for Ian, she dialed


    Susan’s number.


    “Sage, why couldn’t I reach you? What happenedst night? Did Ian dump you? Are the rumors true?”


    Susan unleashed a barrage of questions as soon as the call connected.


    Sage didn’t feel like dealing with her aunt’s questions that morning, so she ignored her calls. She


    cleared her throat and stated coldly, “Mind your own business, Aunt Susan! It doesn’t matter if I get


    divorced from Ian. I’ll still be better off than La, who can’t even behave in college and is constantly


    partying and failing her sses!”


    Sure enough, Susan was enraged by her words. Her tone turned harsh. “Is that


    how you


    you address your elders, you little brat? If La weren’t so young, you


    wouldn’t even have the chance to marry into the Hob family!”


    “Do you seriously think someone who can’t evenplete her studies could be the mistress of


    the Hob family?” Sage scoffed.


    “Sage Jayner!” Susan was seething in anger. “Is this how you treat us after all the years we spent


    raising you? You ungrateful wretch!” Then, she hung up the phone angrily.


    Sage also stowed her phone away with relief. Knowing Susan, she was sure she would immediately


    call La and force her to return to school.


    If La dared to disobey her mother, Susan would eithere and get her or cut off her allowance.


    La knew her mother’s personality well enough not to defy


    her.


    Henry’s n wouldn’t work if she could get La out of there. Then, La wouldn’t fall for his “knight in


    shining armor” nonsense.
