A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 154

"You!" Layla's face flushed with anger. "I heard from Henry that you reached out to him in private. Are you interested in him or something?"

Henry had simply mentioned it casually. But even if he hadn't, Layla had seen their chat history with her own eyes.

In retrospect, Layla realized that things were a little fishy when Sage readily agreed to Henry's invitation in the parking lot despite holding a grudge against Layla. Sage had even offered to foot the bill.

Sage was also present at the sports complex Henry routinely attended. The increasing amount of coincidences made Layla suspicious.

"Won't you listen to yourself?" Sage jeered. "Use your brain for once. Don't listen blindly to what others say. What would I gain from talking to him in private?"

Then, Sage handed her phone to Layla and urged her, "Take a good look at my chat history with Henry."

Layla's eyes swept past the screen and noticed that Henry had initiated contact multiple times. Although he acted courteously, anyone with some experience in dating would know that he was deliberating chatting her up. His reason for doing so was obvious—Sage was wealthier and more gullible than Layla.

Still, Layla couldn't get over Sage's haughty tone. She snapped, "Well, Ian doesn't like you that much either. You're the one who pursued him, and you even threatened him with a divorce. It's not far-fetched to suspect you of flirting with another man just to make him jealous."

Sage laughed at the absurdity of the idea. "Even if I wanted to date someone else, I would find a man richer than Ian. Can Henry even match up to Ian?"

As if that wasn't enough, Sage added, "One more thing: if you believe in yourself, you can go after Ian in the hopes of marrying him. Why don't you confess to Uncle Owen and Aunt Susan that you want to marry Ian? Get them to support my divorce."
