"Mr. Hob," Ivy interjected, n is just worried that you''ll be upset with Sag. It was just a slip of the


    tongue. Please don''t be mad at him for that." "Ivy, why are you speaking up for them? I heard from your


    father that you''ve been through a lot because of Sage. Don''t you hold a grudge against her?" Leo


    inquired.


    Ivy nced atn, who remained stoic, and told the truth, "It was tough at the time, but I know that


    Sage cares a lot aboutn. Plus, her family spoiled her when she was growing up, so she can be


    impulsive. So I won''t hold it against her."


    "Look at you! You can''t even control your wife. I can''t believe you would let her stir up trouble


    everywhere and cause Ivy so much pain! Why can''t you act like a man?" Leo reprimanded his son.


    n!" Leo fumed.


    "Excuse me."n walked into the house.


    The smile on Ivy''s face faded as she watchedn walk away. Even though Sage hid it well, she noticed


    her awkward gait and the overly thick foundation on her neck. It was clear that things had veered off its


    original course again.


    "Is this all you''ve achieved after being back in the country for so long?" Leo asked coldly.


    Ivy turned back to Leo and looked at him apologetically. "My apologies, Mr. Hob. I want to be with


    lan, but I can''t rush things and risk him growing tired of me."


    "I supported you when you wanted to return to Haldon and join Hob Corporation. How do you


    expect me to invest in your projects when you can'' even winn''s heart?" Leo was very displeased.


    "You''re right, Mr. Hob. I am ipetent. I''m very grateful for your support in matters regarding


    lan. I shouldn''t have asked you toe back for such trivial matters, but I''m genuinely out of options


    right now."


    Ivy continued, "As you''ve seen,n has developed feelings for Sage. I''ve tried everything I can think of,


    but I can''t seem to break them apart."


    Her expression became pitiful as


    she said, "Mrs. Hob Senior has never been fond of me, so I can''t be around her very often. The


    project is for a rtive of mine. The current situation can only be changed if he seeds.

    "However, my father''spany could only survive thanks to your andn''s help. I can''te up with


    such arge sum of money, so I can only ask for your help, Mr. Hob."


    Leo responded apathetically, "I can


    provide the funds. I don''t care about your ns or how you intend to carry them out, but you''ve got to


    take some serious action to putn in a tough spot."


    "I''ll do my best, Mr. Hob." Ivy was puzzled. "Butn''s your son, Mr. Hob. Why are you going


    after him?"

    "Just focus on your tasks. You don''t need to worry about anything else," he said sternly.


    "I understand, Mr. Hob." Ivy lowered her head and nodded softly. No one noticed the cold glint in


    her eyes.


    Meanwhile, Sage found Linda in the living room, where Josephine was massaging her shoulders.


    "Happy birthday, Grandma! I wish you all the happiness in the world and a long, long life. May you grow


    younger with each passing year," Sage said as she approached Linda.


    Sage started massaging the elderly woman''s shoulders after asking Josephine to take a break. "My


    stomach was acting up when I was halfway there so I decided to go to the hospital."


    "That''s good to hear. You have no idea how anxiousn looked when he leftst night. He scared me. I


    thought something had happened to you," Linda said.
