Chapter 126
Henry was an expert at leading people on. Instead of jumping at the opportunity right away, he
responded coolly, “Why don’t you send me the location, Sage? I’ll check it out.”
Sage smiled. “Sure.”
After hanging up the phone, she sent over the name of the gym. After all, she had to get to know him
better to keep track of his and La’s progress. It would be even better if she could get him to work for
her.

Henry replied almost instantly. “Thanks, Sage.”
“You’re wee. By the way, I would appreciate it if you refrain from calling me by my name since you
and La haven’t made things official yet. You should address me as Ms. Joyner instead.”
“I understand, Ms. Joyner. Have a nice evening!”
Meanwhile, Ivy sat on the hospital bed with a hardened expression. Her forehead and arms. were
wrapped in bandages.
“Whoa, this ward is pretty nice. The young man of the Hob family seems to be treating you well,”
Sandra remarked as she looked around.
Ignoring herments, Ivy asked coldly, “What brings you here? It’ste. Didn’t I tell you to stay away
from me?”
“Well, I heard you were injured, so I thought I’d pay you a visit to see how you were doing,” Sandra
exined. “How could you be so careless, Ivy? Fortunately, themp missed you by a hair’s breadth.
Otherwise, it could’ve caused serious damage.”
Ivy’s brows remained knitted. “What is it? Why did youe all the way here? Why couldn’t you just
tell me whatever it is over the phone?”
Sandra had no choice but to get to the point. “I’m here because of that little troublemaker of mine. He’s
been splurging a lot to impress that girl, showering her with gifts and taking her out on dates. He’s
practically burned through all his cash.”
Ivy nced at the gold bracelet on Sandra’s hand. “I’m sure you haven’t been holding back either.”
Sandra hastily tucked the gold bracelet underneath her sleeve. “I haven’t touched your money, Ivy. This
was thepensation I received from the mall after someone sshed lime water on me in the
restroom.”
Ivy was well aware of what had happened at the mall.
Even though Sandra was greedy and had a tendency to speak in a way that rubbed people the wrong
way, she couldn’t help but wonder who would go to such lengths as to trap her in the restroom and
ssh lime water on her.
Even the surveince cameras in the mall had conveniently malfunctioned at that time.
That was a mystery that Ivy couldn’t figure out. However, it was also possible that the salesperson at
the mall had conspired with the security personnel to teach Sandra a lesson after she had caused a
scene.
Mulling it over, Ivy’s expression hardened as she said, “Aunt Sandra, I hope you remember it was me
who bailed Henry out thest time he got into trouble.
“I also hope you also remember how you went from being a simple country bumpkin to someone who is
now decked out in gold and silver. If you want a promising future for you and your son, stay out of
trouble!”
“Of course, of course,” Sandra hastily agreed. “You’re our savior, Ivy. We will never forget what you’ve
done for us. We’ll follow your lead.”
Her attitude made Ivy’s expression soften a little. “So, how’s Henry doing?”
“He said it’s going well.” Sandra’s heart swelled with pride when her son was mentioned.” After all, he’s
got the looks and the charms. He’s also a smooth talker, so winning over a few girls is a piece of cake.”
Ivy wasn’t the least bit interested in Henry. However, it must have been a breeze for him to charm a girl
with his appearance, height, and connections. Ivy pointed to her bag, and Sandra hurriedly brought it
over.
Ivy took out a debit card and handed it to Sandra. “Here’s 50 thousand dors. Give it to Henry, and
make sure he doesn’t slip up. Also, tell him to step up his game. Do something else if his usual tricks
don’t work. I don’t want my money to go down the drain without any results.
