A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 152

“Where are you going?” Ian demanded.

Sage chuckled and explained, “I’m giving up my seat to Layla. Didn’t you hear her earlier?”

He commanded, “Sit down.” His eyes flashed with a subtle annoyance. It seemed that he wasn’tinterested in Layla at all.

However, Sage wasn’t going to shield him. She was about to leave her seat when Susan intervened,“Layla, what are you doing? You’re an adult. It’s time to stop clinging to Sage and Ian. Come have aseat beside me. I ordered your favorite

seafood.”

Susan and Owen had silently observed the interaction among the three. They picked up on Ian’sfrustration and did not want to risk humiliating Layla. Susan then added, “Who said Ian and Sage aregetting a divorce? They’re doing well.”

“Ian, just ignore Layla’s nonsense. She has liked squabbling with Sage from a young age,” Owenchimed in with a smile.

Ian said nothing in response. When he noticed Sage standing, he reached out to pull her back into herseat.

Since it wasn’t the right time and place to have a fallout with him, she reluctantly returned to her seat.Besides, she had other plans for that night.

After eating, Layla still wasn’t over the confrontation. She turned to Sage and said, “You mentionedsome earrings on the second–hand website. You must have listed them right?”

Sage looked like a wealthy woman, and she drove luxury cars and carried bags worth millions. Sheused a black card when making purchases. It didn’t make

sense for her to be selling off her jewelry.

Layla hoped that Ian would start to detest Sage if he learned about her shameful

actions.

To Layla’s surprise, Sage didn’t look embarrassed by her statement at all. She

even nodded openly. Sneering, she replied, “Yes, that was me. You’re not dumb after all I guess. Atleast you noticed it.”

When Sage took the screenshot, she deliberately included part of the listing information in the photo. Itwouldn’t take Layla long to figure out that the seller

was Sage.

That way, Layla would learn that Henry was merely fronting. Perhaps that would turn Layla off, justwhen she had developed some interest in him.

Despite the setback, Layla persisted in giving Sage trouble, “How much did you spend? Do you haveless than ten thousand under your name? Is that why you need to sell off your jewelry?”

Sage smiled, eager to correct her. “You’re wrong. I’m just frugal. That’s why I sold off the earrings thatwere supposed to be in the trashcan.”

“In the trashcan?” Layla instantly felt as though her ears were filled with grime. She hurriedly rubbedthe imaginary filth off her ears. To think that she had smugly shown them off yesterday!

Had Sage not mentioned the listing on the second–hand website, Layla would have already postedphotos of them on Instagram. The earrings turned out to be Sage’s trash!

Something felt off. Layla thought that Sage was deliberately trying to make her feel sick. Shequestioned, “How would the earrings end up in the trashcan?”

“I threw them out,” Sage confessed honestly. “I consider what’s not mine as trash. But I changed mymind later, thinking that I could probably get some use out of them. I’m surprised that you regard mytrash as your treasure.”

Sage’s words only fueled Layla’s rage. She had tried to irk Sage, but it ended up backfiring on her.

She fumed and hissed, “Why would you throw away such an expensive pair of earrings for no goodreason? I know Ian is rich, but you shouldn’t have done that!

Layla started stirring trouble again.

“The earrings were hers. She could do anything she wanted with it,” Ian casually defended Sage. “Iwon’t stop her.”

Layla blushed in embarrassment as she did not expect lan to speak up for Sage.

Meanwhile, Sage cast an astonished glance at Ian. Ian clearly knew which earrings Layla was referringto. Sage wondered why lan was defending her when he should have been angry.
