After meeting with the police, Zachary sent Sage back to the hotel. He thoughtfully reassured her,


    "Don''t worry. I''ll follow up with the police on your behalf and keep you updated on any progress."


    She thanked him earnestly. Anyone would have dismissed the event as a mere incident. Zachary was


    the only one who took her seriously and patiently apanied her in her investigation.


    When Sage was back at the hotel, she knocked on Donald''s door, knowing that he must have been


    waiting for her update.


    He answered the door with a concerned look. "Sage, you''re back. You don''t look well though. Is


    everything okay?"


    She shook her head and smiled. "I''m fine."


    "I called Zack to ask about it. He told me you checked the surveince footage of the incident. Look,


    what happened tonight was just an ident. You don''t have to be worried about it,” Donaldforted


    her. She remarked, "I just wanted to be sure. It was a freaky coincidence for the two motorcyclists to


    almost run us over.”


    "Grandpa, what are you discussing?"


    Sage heardn''s voice asking a question from Donald''s phone. Donald waved his phone at her, saying,


    "Sage,e join us.n is on a video call with me. You should chat with him too."


    Staring atn''s t expression on the phone, she was oddly reminded of the awkward memory from the


    time she identally answeredn''s video call when she was changing her clothes.


    "It''s okay, Donald.” She began exiting the room. “I''m a little tired, so I''ll rest in my room."


    She had nothing more to discuss withn at this point. When she was back in her room, she called


    Shane.


    "Oh, my lovely Sage, you''ve been calling me quite frequently as ofte. Why? Missing me?" he teased


    yfully.


    Rolling her eyes, she asked, "You seem to know a lot of people in Haldon City, don''t you?"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    "Wow, why are you interested in my social life?" Shane gasped dramatically. "Well, I wouldn''t say I


    know a lot of people. Anyway, I can''t possibly introduce you to them, given your current status."


    She retorted, "Is status important? Mr. Morrison, I thought you didn''t care for this frivolous stuff."


    Shane choked in surprise. He didn''t expect that remark from Sage. She didn''t give him a chance to fool


    around. Going straight to the point, she asked if he could identify the people in some blurry footage.


    Feeling annoyed after being roasted, he replied, "No one can beat your husband in terms of social


    networking. Why would youe to me instead of asking him for help?"


    No way Sage would askn for help. She resolved not to be involved with him in any way until she got


    her divorce. Besides,n might alert Ivy and side with her if he realized that she was implicated.


    She moved on from the topic and asked Shane, "Have Ivy''s people signed the contract?"


    He replied nonchntly, “They''ve agreed to sign. They have full trust in us. We can get them to sign it


    in a few days."


    Sage suggested, "If a guy called Henry York happens to contact your people, tell them to sweeten the


    deal for him."


    Shane immediately knew what Sage was up to. “Are you trying to start an infighting?"


    She confirmed his guess. Before this, she had nned to gain Henry''s full trust before making a move


    on him. However, that was no longer necessary.


    As Henry was greedy for money and fame, and all she had to do was entice him. There was no need to


    take the longer way. To expose Ivy''s true nature, Sage was urgently in need of a helper like Henry.
