A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 137

Sage was completely baffled by Shane's actions. Why couldn't he have used a more sophisticated approach if he were going to go against Ian? She couldn't accept his childish approach at all.

Ian ignored Shane's provocation. Instead, he turned to Sage and said, "You're coming with me to Room One."

Her brows furrowed together. "Why?" Surely he wasn't going to hold her accountable for this mess?

Shane chimed in, "She's my driver today. I don't mind if you bother her, but she isn't going anywhere with you!"

Ian frowned and shot Shane a cold glance. "Mr. Morrison, word has it that your elder brother is going to be promoted. He might not forgive you if something were to go awry now."

"Do you seriously think you have that much power?" Shane scoffed.

Ian's tone remained apathetic. "I know he's over in Brookfield, but it just so happens that he's particularly interested in involving Holcomb Corporation in his investment plan this time."

Shane snorted. "What does that have to do with me? If he doesn't get promoted, he can always just come back and run the family business!"

"I'm sure you could disregard your elder brother, but what about Mr. Morrison Senior? Can you also disregard him?"

Shane was at a loss for words. If his grandfather found out he had messed up his elder brother's promotion, he probably wouldn't be safe even in death.

"Fine. I should've known this was all you were capable of." He rose to his feet. "I'll let you off this time. Enjoy the rest of your evening with your wife. I'm out of here!"

He then stormed off. Sage didn't even get the chance to ask him to foot the bill. Then she turned to Ian. "You should leave as well."

Ian frowned. "Do you seriously think you can just sweep this under the rug, Sage? I can't believe you'd bribe the manager to change my order and make me look like a fool in front of Professor Braun."

The manager claimed that it was his wife who had requested the change. But it was clear, based on her reaction, that she hadn't revealed her identity. It was clear that Shane had bribed the manager in advance.
