with a message 

Henry immediately followed up “I’m grateful for your kind gesture. However, I feel uncomfortable taking this money from you, although this sum might be nothing to you. 

Sage let out a chuckle, surprised at Henry’s quick wit. 

Despite his obvious greed, he still managed to portray himself as someone above taking small 

favors. 

Sage accepted the money and replied, “I’ll be the one treating next time.” 

Henry replied, “I’ll not be so reserved next time, then!” 

Sage put her phone away. 

She had casually flaunted her wealth earlier and used a black card to show Henry how rich she 

was. 

Given how greedy Henry was, he would definitely try to curry favor with her. 

As a result, he wouldn’t be as attentive to Layla. 

Besides, Henry was obviously Ivy’s lackey, and he might be useful to her in the future. 

Sage bought two sets of the latest season’s dresses at the mall, as well as some jewelry and several pieces of gold. 

In the past, she used to think gold was tacky, but now she found it particularly appealing. 

Gold was radiant and visually appealing, and it retained its value. In times of crisis, it could also be exchanged for cash. There was nothing better than that! 

She was just having a great time shopping when Ian called. 

Sage was taken aback when she saw his number. 

As far as she could recall, Ian had rarely answered her calls, let alone took the initiative to call 

her. 

She answered the call and asked, “What do you want? Don’t tell me you’re going to be mad at me for buying some gold? You said I could buy whatever I wanted this morning.” 

Ian was rendered speechless for a moment before he finally said, “Grandpa is fond of antique inkwells and ink. I recently bought one for him, but I’m currently swamped with work and can’t deliver it myself. Can you come by later to pick it up?”

It was truly admirable that Ian still remembered Donald’s preferences. 

“Alright,” Sage agreed readily. 

As she was about to hang up the phone, lan casually asked, “Are you at the mall?” 

“Yeah, I’m almost done shopping.” 

Ian casually asked again, “What did you buy?” 

“Oh, just some clothes, jewelry, and gold.” 

“Did you also visit these stores when you went to the mall a few days ago?” 

“Nope. Tiana needed to get some clothes for Wilson last time, so we went to the men’s section too-” 

Sage suddenly stopped talking, feeling a bit suspicious. “What’s with all the questions? Do you need to buy something? 

Ian’s tone sounded a bit more relaxed as he said, “You should figure it out on your own. I need to head for a meeting now.” 

Sage was rendered speechless. 

What was that all about? 

In the past, she had bought Ian stuff before, but he never really cared about them. So she wasn’t going to waste any more money on him. 

Sage carried her spoils and made her way to Holcomb Corporation. 

As she entered the lobby, the receptionist and several other staff members greeted her with 

enthusiasm. 

It suddenly occurred to Sage that this marriage might not be beyond saving after all.
