Chapter 152
“Where are you going?” Ian demanded.
Sage chuckled and exined, “I’m giving up my seat to La. Didn’t you hear her earlier?”
Hemanded, “Sit down.” His eyes shed with a subtle annoyance. It seemed that he wasn’t
interested in La at all.
However, Sage wasn’t going to shield him. She was about to leave her seat when Susan intervened,
“La, what are you doing? You’re an adult. It’s time to stop clinging to Sage and Ian. Come have a
seat beside me. I ordered your favorite
seafood.”
Susan and Owen had silently observed the interaction among the three. They picked up on Ian’s
frustration and did not want to risk humiliating La. Susan then added, “Who said Ian and Sage are
getting a divorce? They’re doing well.”
“Ian, just ignore La’s nonsense. She has liked squabbling with Sage from a young age,” Owen
chimed in with a smile.
Ian said nothing in response. When he noticed Sage standing, he reached out to pull her back into her
seat.
Since it wasn’t the right time and ce to have a fallout with him, she reluctantly returned to her seat.
Besides, she had other ns for that night.
After eating, La still wasn’t over the confrontation. She turned to Sage and said, “You mentioned
some earrings on the second–hand website. You must have listed them right?”
Sage looked like a wealthy woman, and she drove luxury cars and carried bags worth millions. She
used a ck card when making purchases. It didn’t make
sense for her to be selling off her jewelry.
La hoped that Ian would start to detest Sage if he learned about her shameful
actions.
To La’s surprise, Sage didn’t look embarrassed by her statement at all. She

even nodded openly. Sneering, she replied, “Yes, that was me. You’re not dumb after all I guess. At
least you noticed it.”
When Sage took the screenshot, she deliberately included part of the listing information in the photo. It
wouldn’t take La long to figure out that the seller
was Sage.
That way, La would learn that Henry was merely fronting. Perhaps that would turn La off, just
when she had developed some interest in him.
Despite the setback, La persisted in giving Sage trouble, “How much did you spend? Do you have
less than ten thousand under your name? Is that why you need to sell off your jewelry?”
Sage smiled, eager to correct her. “You’re wrong. I’m just frugal. That’s why I sold off the earrings that
were supposed to be in the trashcan.”
“In the trashcan?” La instantly felt as though her ears were filled with grime. She hurriedly rubbed
the imaginary filth off her ears. To think that she had smugly shown them off yesterday!
Had Sage not mentioned the listing on the second–hand website, La would have already posted
photos of them on Instagram. The earrings turned out to be Sage’s trash!
Something felt off. La thought that Sage was deliberately trying to make her feel sick. She
questioned, “How would the earrings end up in the trashcan?”
“I threw them out,” Sage confessed honestly. “I consider what’s not mine as trash. But I changed my
mindter, thinking that I could probably get some use out of them. I’m surprised that you regard my
trash as your treasure.”
Sage’s words only fueled La’s rage. She had tried to irk Sage, but it ended up backfiring on her.
She fumed and hissed, “Why would you throw away such an expensive pair of earrings for no good
reason? I know Ian is rich, but you shouldn’t have done that!
La started stirring trouble again.
“The earrings were hers. She could do anything she wanted with it,” Ian casually defended Sage. “I
won’t stop her.”

La blushed in embarrassment as she did not expectn to speak up for Sage.

Meanwhile, Sage cast an astonished nce at Ian. Ian clearly knew which earrings La was referring
to. Sage wondered whyn was defending her when he should have been angry.
