Chapter 175


    “Oh, I’ve received the money. Thanks, Ms. Shekdotter! By the way, when you’re free, could you go


    through all the gifts Ian has given you and tally them up? Please don’t forget to transfer half of the


    amount to me.”


    Sage then strolled off toward the research facility. Ivy was at a loss for words.


    She couldn’t help but feel that Sage had changed a lot because she no longer got upset by whatever


    she said or did.


    Could Ian’s recent change of heart toward Sage be due to this? What was she up to? Who was behind


    this?


    Mulling it over, she decided to call Delh get back on Sage’s good side.”


    “I don’t care what you have to do, but you need to


    “I don’t care what you


    Ivy realized that she had underestimated Sage, which was why she was in such a difficult position at


    the moment. She had to find a way to keep tabs on Sage.


    Meanwhile, Sage magnanimously transferred 10 grand to Tiana and texted her.


    “Didn’t you mention yesterday that the hospital set up a charity fund? I’d like to donate 10 grand


    anonymously.”


    “Oh, Sage, you’re such a gem. You’re so kind and beautiful. I’m sure you’ll be rewarded for your good


    deeds.”


    “Cut it out. When are we meeting for dinner today?”


    “OMG. I’m so sorry! My mother–inw decided to visit a rtive all of a sudden, so we’ll have to


    reschedule!”


    Compared to Tiana, Sage had an easy time managing her rtionship with her mother–in-w. After


    giving Tiana a good ribbing, Sage made her way to Collin’s office to meet him.


    Collin was surprised to learn of her ns. “Ms. Shekdotter from Bolton Investment had just asked me


    about the clinical status of the drug, so I’m surprised that you’re interested in the distribution rights of


    the drug, Mrs. Hob. Did Mr. Hob ask you guys to show up separately?”


    “I want the distribution rights. It has nothing to do with Ian,” she said with a smile.


    He didn’t take her seriously because he thought she was having another lover’s spat with Ian. Mrs.


    Hob, to be honest, this has been my life’s work. I’d like tounch it under the name of the research


    institute.”

    Of course, she could understand Collin’s wishes. But there was one thing she couldn’t quite wrap her


    head around.


    If Ivy had predicted the sess of this drug during her investigation, how did she manage to convince


    Collin to let Henry have the distribution rights? Furthermore, the investment funds Henry obtained after


    that did note from Bolton Investment. So where did the fundse


    from?


    While Ivy’s father, Rnd, had his ownpany, judging from its size and influence, it couldn’t


    possibly havee up with such arge sum of money. Could it be that someone else had helped Ivy?


    After obtaining some pertinent information from Collin, Sage followed the staff on a tour of theb and


    some other ces.


    She decided to say goodbye to Collin after she had a better understanding of the situation. But when


    she got to the door, she noticedn there, waiting for her.


    Ian was decked out in a suit, as usual. He sat with his back to the door on the couch in the reception


    area. Even from afar, his presence and confidence were unmistakable.


    “Mr. Hob, your subordinate was just here a few hours ago. Are you here because you doubt their


    abilities?” Collin asked with a smile when he spotted Sage’s figure.


    “Of course, I have to be more attentive when ites to matters regarding your institute, Professor


    Braun,” Ian said calmly.

    Collin chuckled. “Oh, is that so? Did you not rush here to find Mrs. Hob because you heard that


    she was here, Mr. Hob?”
