A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 279

However, Ian was nowhere to be found when she reached downstairs. Sage called him, assuming that he was at the office, but his phone was powered off. She also couldn't get through to Terry's phone.

She eventually called the secretary's office at Holcomb Corporation and learned that Ian and Terry had gone on a business trip to deal with an emergency. Even the secretary had no idea when they would return.

Sage thought it was a huge coincidence that Ian was away on business on the day they were supposed to get the divorce certificate.

She couldn't help but feel like Ian had done it on purpose, but she also knew that Ian wasn't the kind of person who would come up with an excuse like that just to avoid getting a divorce.

Mulling it over, she decided to unblock Ian and send him a message. "Why'd you go on a business trip all of a sudden, Ian? Please don't tell me you're going back on your word."

"When will you be back? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Sage was aware that she wouldn't get an immediate response from Ian. She wanted to find Linda to vent her frustrations, but Josephine told her that she usually prayed in the morning and wouldn't be free.

Sage had no choice but to give up. Besides, she knew that Linda wouldn't help her force Ian to sign the divorce papers.

Just then, Shane called to tell her that the other party had taken the bait. Hence, Sage decided to leave Holcomb Manor. Josephine watched her leave before she went into the chapel to report to Linda.

Linda was holding onto the cross Sage had given her when she said, "That rascal has finally come to his senses. He picked the right time to go on a business trip."

"Mrs. Holcomb Senior, Mrs. Holcomb seems very upset. Don't you think her relationship with Mr. Holcomb will worsen because of this?" Josephine inquired, worried.

"Those two are already at rock bottom. I'm sure it can't get much worse than this." Linda continued, "Sage is determined to get a divorce. I doubt this trick of his will make much of a difference."

Josephine was puzzled. "Mrs. Holcomb has always been in love with Mr. Holcomb. Why does she want to get divorced all of a sudden?"
