A Farewell After Being Reborn

Sage trailed behind Ian, looking as composed as ever.

Soon, Ian sank into the couch in his study. As he tugged his tie off, he said, “I wonder how you’ll be able to satisfy me with this solution of yours.”

Sage handed Ian the two documents.

“I have two copies of the divorce agreement. One of them states that I’ll divorce you without getting any of your assets in return. The other one states that you’ll have to pay me 100 million dollars in alimony.

“I’ve already signed both copies of the agreement. Choose whichever copy that has the conditions you want and sign it.”

Ian raised his head immediately. “100 million dollars?”

Businessmen were all money–minded, as expected. Ian’s first reaction was to

mentally complain about the absurd amount of money he had to pay.

“Yup,” Sage replied. “You promised me ten million dollars back then, but I don’t think that’s enough for me.

“Come to think of it, you’re the one who wronged me in this marriage. Besides, you’re the one who was more eager to get a divorce. That’s why I think it’s only reasonable for you to cough up 100 million dollars.”

In the past, Sage didn’t think of asking Ian for money because she wanted to get.

the divorce over with as soon as possible.

But now, she needed 100 million dollars in order to work with Shane.

If she could obtain that amount of money from Ian and use it to fight against him.

in the business industry, she’d feel extremely satisfied.

Meanwhile, Ian’s lips curled into a cold smirk. But he didn’t respond to Sage at all. Instead, he decided to be patient and wait for her to continue speaking.

“It’s true that I’m the one who forced this marriage to happen, but I never cheated on you, did I? If we were to take this to court, I’d be entitled to more than

just 100 million dollars,” Sage said.

“Now, you’re given a chance to pay 100 million dollars just to get your peace and freedom back. Once you sign the divorce agreement, you can be with whomever you want without hiding your relationship.

“The incident that happened earlier today will never happen to you ever again. Isn’t this a win–win situation for us?”

Ian chortled sarcastically. “I never knew you had such a sharp tongue, Sage.”

There was so much about her that he didn’t know, that was for sure.

Sage knew how stubborn Ian was about the divorce agreement, so she pressed on. “Of course, you can choose to not give me a single cent. I won’t blame you for being stingy with your money. After all, I’m determined to get a divorce no matter what.”

She felt a pang of sadness the moment she was done speaking.

It was bad enough that she’d married a man who never cared about her. But the thought of her not being able to obtain some of his assets as alimony saddened her greatly.

It would be a major loss for her if Ian chose to not pay her anything.

Ian picked up on the hint of remorse in Sage’s tone. Now that he was no longer in a rush to question her about Ivy’s incident, he relaxed his posture by propping his legs onto the coffee table.

“Do you want more money?” he asked coldly.

Sage widened her eyes slightly in response.

Ian’s handsome face was still as stony as ever. “Continue playing the part of Mrs. Holcomb. As long as we stay married, our assets will be shared. My money is considered yours in that case.”

“No, thank you!” Sage waved that offer away immediately. “I don’t want your entire fortune! Let’s just get the divorce over with!”

Ian huffed once again, his expression now crumbling. “Is giving me two copies of the divorce agreement your so–called solution?”

she

Sage replied, “Yup! Aren’t you going to stick up for Ivy for what happened earlier? I’ll let her have the honor of becoming Mrs. Holcomb! That way, won’t be bullied anymore in the future!

“Just sign one of the copies. I’ll make sure that we both get a copy of the particular agreement you signed. Once the time’s up, we’ll grab our divorce certificates.

“Don’t worry. I won’t interfere with anything you do before the divorce certificates are out. Heck, you can choose to not live here at all!”

Linda had Sage promise her that she wouldn’t move out. She never said anything about Ian having to stay in the estate.

Even if Linda were to ask Sage for Ian’s whereabouts, Sage would just tell her that Ian had gone out on a business trip.

They just needed to tough it out for about 30 days or so. It would be a piece of cake for Sage to lie to Linda. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Ian’s expression darkened even more after hearing Sage’s so–called considerate suggestion. His eyes turned frosty immediately.

Suddenly, he withdrew his legs from the coffee table and shot to his feet. His sudden movement startled Sage so much that she backed away from him subconsciously.

“W–What are you doing?”

The sight of Sage having her guard up vigilantly elicited a cold chuckle from Ian. ” Stop acting as though I’m interested in you.”
