A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 142

Ivy said, “Ms. Davis is not only highly capable but also has good luck. When she faced economicdifficulties, someone helped her out. When sales were poor, they came up with ideas to hype herbusiness up, and they even managed to secure investments for her.”

Benjamin immediately knew who she was referring to. In fact, he had come to her today intending toreplace out more about her.

“Why would Mr. Holcomb’s wife help that wretched woman so much? Did she do it at the behest of Mr.Holcomb?”

Ivy chuckled and said, “I’m not sure if it was Mr. Holcomb’s intention. But you can have someone lookinto the truth behind the reports from the party that day and the true nature of the relationship betweenMr. Holcomb and his wife. You’ll get your answers if you do.”

Although she was very vague with her words, Benjamin was a smart person who understood what shewas trying to say–Ian’s relationship with his wife was not good, and he wouldn’t have cooperated withher to help Mimosa. 1

Satisfied with the answer he received Benjamin said, “Ms. Shekdotter, thank you for having coffee withme. When I expand and stabilize my winery, I hope that you will be a partner of

mine.”

Ivy stood up and replied, “I’m also looking forward to that day. But before that happens, I hope youwon’t be crushed by your ex–wife.”

Upon hearing this, a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Priscilla was thrilled, so she decided to have a few extra drinks at lunchtime. Sage and her assistanthad to carry her back to the office. After leaving Mimosa, Sage headed to the sports complex since itwas still early.

Michael had specifically instructed her a few days ago to focus on the basics so she could excel inself–defense and kickboxing. Since she was originally there to keep fit, she wanted to stick to hertraining routine.

Just as she arrived at the sports complex, she bumped into Henry. He was sitting in the rest

area.

“Ms. Joyner, what a coincidence,” he said when he saw her. Standing up, he continued, “I’ve been toseveral gyms around town and I still fancy this sports complex the most.

“The coach just said that someone like me, who has a good foundation level of fitness, is more suitablefor practicing kickboxing. Ms. Joyner, you’re considered my senior here. Please take care of me in thefuture.”

Sage wasn’t surprised at all by this. She smiled faintly and answered, “I don’t think you’ll need me totake care of you. I’ve only trained a few times, and I haven’t even mastered the basics. But I’m open tofriendly matches when we have the time.”

“No problem!”

“How have things been between you and Layla these past few days? Has she forgiven you?” sheasked casually.

“I guess she has,” Henry replied, his face lit up with an affectionate smile. “She even came with me tothe sports complex today. Look! She’s over there!”

Following his gaze, Sage saw Layla. She was wearing a knee–length skirt, with a designer handbagslung over her shoulder. Looking joyful, she was busy taking selfies with her phone.

“Layla, guess who I ran into?” Henry called out to Layla

Her smile instantly faded a little when she saw Sage. “What are you doing here?” she questioned.

“Layla, I asked Ms. Joyner about this sports complex. She said the training here is good, so I wanted tocheck it out. I didn’t expect to run into her here,” Henry explained proactively.

Layla snorted lightly and ignored Henry. She picked up her phone to take more selfies. It was then thatSage noticed the pair of dazzling diamond earrings that Layla was wearing. The exquisitecraftsmanship and style looked very familiar…
