A Farewell After Being Reborn novel (Sage and Ian) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 

Shane’s laughter was cold and malicious. “You had the guts to mess with me. I’ll teach you a lesson, even if it means breaking the law!” 

When she saw Shane’s fearless attitude and the approaching bodyguard, Sage felt 

a tinge of regret. She had been too presumptuous. She had thought that her knowledge from her past life could be leveraged to negotiate with Shane. 

She never considered investigating what kind of person he was. 

Now, with him turning hostile, she wouldn’t be able to escape if he decided to tie her up. 

With Ian’s apparent dislike toward her, she doubted he would intervene. Even if he did, she didn’t want to owe him any favors. 

“Hide if you can. Let’s see where you can escape to!” Shane stalked toward her. His voice was menacing. 

The second floor seemed to have been cleared by Shane, and there was no one around to help. Sage’s scream for help was rendered useless. 

Sage contemplated whether it would be more effective to smash a wine bottle and threaten to hurt herself or take a gamble by doing the same to Shane. 

“Who dares to lay a hand on her?” 

Amid her thoughts, an angry voice suddenly echoed from behind. 

It was Ian! 1 

In what seemed like a trick of the light, Ian’s eyes flashed with a hint of concern when he looked at Sage. 

“Hey, Mr. Holcomb, you came just in time. I haven’t even sent you a message yet, and here you are!” Shane said mockingly. 

Ian ignored him and strode toward Sage. He frowned as he asked, “Are you hurt?” 

Sage shook her head.

“Let’s go.” Ian didn’t say much. He gestured for Sage to follow him. 

However, Shane’s bodyguard blocked their way. 

“You plan to leave without giving an explanation?” Shane’s playful expression carried a hint of chill. 

Ian looked at him coldly. “I was waiting for an explanation from you. Why did you try to bind my wife?” 

While speaking, two burly men clad in black came up to Shane. In terms of numbers and strength, Shane’s lone bodyguard seemed at a disadvantage. 

Sage hadn’t expected Ian to come, let alone bring bodyguards. 

“Looks like you have come prepared.” Shane’s lips curled into a mysterious smile. “Do you know who the owner of this bar is?” 

Sage suddenly felt uneasy. If this bar belonged to Shane, Ian’s two bodyguards might not be enough to contend with him. 

Thinking about their last intense car collision, Sage couldn’t help but worry. If a fight broke out, where would she find safety? 

Ian seemed to misunderstand Sage’s concern. He took her hand. Her fingers were enclosed in his warm palm. Though she felt uncomfortable, Sage didn’t pull away 

because now wasn’t the time for trivialities. 

“The Morrisons‘ empire is vast. Having a few bars is nothing out of the ordinary, 

Ian calmly stated.

“Then, do you think you can leave here so easily?” Shane provocatively asked. 

Ian revealed a composed, thin smile as he uttered, “You can go downstairs and 

see for yourself.” 

At his words, Shane’s face fell. He quickly walked to the edge and looked down.
