Chapter 143


    She had sold those exact earrings at half price on a second–hand website two days ago.


    Perhaps because it was cheap, it was snapped up the same day it was listed. Why were her earrings


    here with La now?


    “Your earrings look nice. Where did you get it?” Sage asked.


    There was a hint of pride on La’s face as she replied, “You’ve got a good eye. These are go the


    latest earrings from Gorgine Fits. They are very hard toe by. Henry had a friend to great lengths to


    buy them for me.”

    “As long as you’re not mad at me anymore, it’s worth the effort I put in,” said Henry. His words were as


    sweet as honey.


    La rolled her eyes at him and looked at Sage provocatively, saying, “Why are you staring at my


    earrings? Are you jealous? Does Ian not buy you earrings?”


    “He did, but I threw them in the trash. They’re the same ones that are now on your ears,” Sage thought


    to herself. Of course, she didn’t say that out loud..


    Instead, she chuckled lightly and said, “I saw a simr pair on a second–hand website a couple of days


    ago. I was worried you might be wearing fakes, so I wanted to take a closer look.”


    After hearing her words, an awkward look appeared on Henry’s face, and he quickly exined, “Sage,


    this is definitely not a fake. Although my friend lost the certificate, I took it to the official store for


    verification, and it’s absolutely authentic!”


    Sageforted, “I only saw something simr. I didn’t say that yours was fake. Don’t worry too much.


    Besides, you don’t seem like someone who would buy gifts for your crush from a


    second–hand website.”


    Henry eximed, “Of course not! I just didn’t want La to misunderstand. Next time, if she likes


    something, I’ll bring her to pick it out at the store together!”


    “Ignore her. She just can’t stand me receiving gifts when she doesn’t. She’s just jealous!”


    Although La’s words were aggressive, her tone noticeablycked conviction.


    “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go change and get ready for training,” said Sage, preparing to leave.


    “Go ahead then, Sage.” Henry stood up and walked out with La. Turning to her, he asked, “La,


    are you hungry? Where do you want to eat?”

    Ignoring him, she furrowed her eyebrows, as if pondering, something. She seemed to still be shaken by


    Sage’s words. Although their rtionship had been strained since childhood, La knew that Sage


    wouldn’t casually lie about such things.


    Sage also had a feeling that something was off. La wasn’t the type to be easily swayed by a pair of


    earrings. Why did she seem closer to Henry all of a sudden? What had happened in the past few days?


    She thought of checking La’s social media but found herself unable to see any of her posts. La


    had restricted her ount to “Chat Only“,


    She was worried about La’s future, but thetter didn’t even treat her like a sister! Forget it. She


    could be with whoever she wanted!


    Feeling angry at the thought, Sage vented her frustration on the punching bag, As she punched the


    punching bag with all her strength, the coach mistook her for someone


    learning boxing and brought her gloves.


    After spending two hours at the sportsplex, she was dripping with sweat. As she was about to


    leave, she noticed a missed call from La.


    She called back and asked, “What’s up?”

    With an unpleasant tone, La said, “This afternoon, you mentioned seeing my earrings on a second–


    hand website. Take a screenshot and send it to me.”


    Sage scoffed and rebutted, “I don’t owe you anything. What’s with the attitude?”


    “Sage Joyner, don’t act like we’re still kids! Haven’t you bullied me enough when we were kids?”
