Chapter 216


    “Isn’t this Hob Corporation’s employee group? What are you doing here?” Sage asked as she


    stared at Tiana.


    Tiana took her phone back and continued to scroll through thements with gusto. “It’s not a work


    group. It’s a gossip group that the employees set up separately. Calvin roped me in.” Sage was


    amused. “Wow. Yourworking skills sure are impressive. Not only are you close to Calvin, but you’ve


    also wormed your way into Hob Corporation, huh?”


    Tiana shrugged. “I’m just here for thetest gossip. Don’t worry. No one knows we’re friends, so


    everyone here is free to speak their mind.”


    Sage was at a loss for words.


    Meanwhile, Ivy was leafing through documents in one of the resort’s rooms when she was interrupted


    by a series of notifications on her phone.


    The wound on her forehead hadn’t fully healed yet, so she couldn’t risk getting it wet, let alone indulge


    in the saunas. Hence, she didn’t join the others downstairs and instead focused on the project she had


    found for Henry.


    Ivy picked up her phone to see what themotion was about. Her smile instantly froze after she


    unlocked her phone and saw the photos of Ian and Sage. There were several photos of them hugging


    each other intimately. In the photos, Ian was looking at Sage tenderly.


    Gripping her phone tightly, she wished she could crush it. Ivy had checked with Ian’s secretary before


    coming here to confirm that Ian was alone. So why was Sage here? Why were she and Ian publicly


    disying their affection?


    Ivy forced herself to calm down and messaged Delh. “I asked you to patch things up with Sage. Why


    haven’t you made any progress?”


    She couldn’t take the initiative to do anything because no one had given her any information about


    Sage.


    Delh immediately gave Ivy a call. “Ms. Shekdotter, Sage is wary of me. She doesn’t listen to anything


    I say, so we can’t rush things.”


    “What are you going to do about it then?” Ivy asked harshly.


    Delh responded, “Don’t worry. I took your advice and re–established business rtions with the


    Joyner family. Once everything is settled, I’ll visit Mr. Joyner Senior more often. Sage will surelye


    around then.”


    “Why did she suddenly distance herself from you?” Ivy inquired, her brows knitted.


    Delh answered, “I have no idea. When you posted on social mediast time, I suggested we go and


    teach you a lesson, but she didn’t budge at all. I was indignant and went alone, but she turned against


    me after I sent her the recorded video. Also, I feel like she’s be much more intelligent and


    assertive.”

    She paused before continuing, “This time, I won’t underestimate her anymore. That is why I intend to


    get to Mr. Joyner Senior.”


    Ivy had also noticed that. Sage had be much sharper. She wasn’t as easily provoked anymore,


    and she no longer acted impulsively. She also seemed uninterested in Ian.


    However, Ivy wasn’t buying it. There was no way that Sage would have no feelings for Ian. She must’ve


    just be more maniptive and realized that men always wanted what they couldn’t have. That


    must be the reason why Ian had started to see her in a different light.


    Based on the current situation, it was clear that it was no longer possible to make Tan hate or distance


    himself from Sage.

    Ivy had never been able to figure out what was onn’s mind. Apart from being annoyed, he had never


    wanted to get a divorce, even though Sage had done a lot of foolish things. If he wanted a divorce, he


    had plenty of ways to go about it, even if his grandmother was trying to stop him.


    Since it was impossible to get through to Ian, she might as well start with Sage. After all, it was much


    easier to get a woman to give up than a man.


    Ivy calmed down, and her tone softened. “Keep up the good work, and rest assured, you’ll be duly


    rewarded for your efforts.”


    “Will do. Besides, you’ve never let me down. Oh, by the way, I’ll need your help to negotiate the terms


    with ‘my father’s friend‘ to seal the deal with the Joyners,” Delh said.


    Ivy nodded. “I understand.”


    Then, she made two more phone calls before turning off herptop and changing into a new set of


    clothes.


    Meanwhile, Calvin arrived at Greenfield Resort. “What’s the meaning of this,n? Why can’t I call you?


    Do I seriously have to go through Mr. Zane to get to you?”


    Ian was lounging under the sunshade and feeling very calm. He couldn’t be bothered to waste his


    breath on Calvin. “What brings you here?” he askedzily.


    Calvin responded, “I was going to tell you I couldn’t make it because I have to have dinner with my old


    man tonight. Yet, your words got under my skin, so I decided toe over and hash it out with you!”
