A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 203

"Don't worry," Giselle said, a pained expression on her delicate face. "I wouldn't dare to mess with her with you here."

"That's what I thought." Shane scoffed. Then, his expression changed drastically as he turned to Sage. "Don't worry. I'll wait over there. Just call me if you need anything."

Sage rolled her eyes at him and ignored him. The man walked away, glancing back every few steps.

Giselle took a deep breath and said, "So we've met again, Ms. Joyner." Her eyes shone with determination as if she had come to terms with something.

Sage couldn't bear to see the young lady's crestfallen face. Hence, she cut to the chase. "Shane was just spouting nonsense, Ms. Rosethorn. Please don't take it to heart. Also, I lied to you. He has no feelings for me at all.

"He threatened me into coming here today. Feel free to court him if you like him. I will never be an obstacle in your relationship, so please don't see me as your rival."

Giselle seemed unfazed when she heard that. She replied, "Ms. Joyner, I've looked into your situation. I know you're married, and you're not into Shane. However, I also know that Shane ruined your marriage."

That was a complete misunderstanding of her situation. Sage sighed, feeling drained. "Ms. Rosethorn, whether my husband and I get divorced or not has nothing to do with Shane."

"I'm aware that there's a deep-seated conflict between Shane and your husband. Those two have always been at odds," Giselle continued. "Hence, he wouldn't get too close to you. You should be grateful that he didn't take his anger out on you."

Even though it wasn't the right time, Sage couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what their conflict is about?"

In her previous life, Shane and Ian were rivals in the business world. In this life, both of them still didn't see eye to eye.
