A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 111

Chapter 111 

Sage couldn’t help but sneak a peek when she heard that name. As she craned her head, she saw Henry York. He was dressed in a tracksuit with his hair slicked back. He was hanging out with two other shady–looking men while smoking 

cigarettes. 

Instinctively, she hid behind the bamboo grove. 

“That woman and a few of her classmates will snap some photos here. Of course, I have to stick around.” He took a puff and exhaled. “Relax! You’re free to leave after you help me with something. I’ll even foot the bill for a night out at the bar!” 

“What do we have to do?” one of them asked. 

“Shove that Layla chick into the lake.” 

“Whoa! What are you up to, Henry? Murder is illegal!” 

“What the hell are you talking about?” Henry kicked the guy. “I’m only asking you guys to push her into the lake. I’ll save her right away!” 

“Ooh, I see what you’re up to, Henry. You’re going to be her knight in shining armor, huh? Then, you’ll be able to give her CPR, take her to a hotel, help her change into a fresh set of clothes, and all that jazz…” 

His words became increasingly outrageous, but Henry didn’t deny anything. 

Instead, he snuffed his cigarette and said, “I’ve been courting her for days, but she keeps blowing me off. So, I have to do something else. Remember, you need to lure her somewhere no one will notice. And don’t just shove her! Make it look 

like an accident. That’s the only way she’ll trust me,” he explained. 

“No worries, you can count on us!” 

The three swaggered out of the bamboo grove with their plan in place. 

Sage then cautiously walked out. It made sense, though. Layla didn’t seem interested in Henry, It was no wonder that he needed such a pathetic plan. 

Sage retreated to the restroom to avoid running into Henry. Then, she pulled out

her phone and was about to call her aunt Susan when she noticed a message from 

Ian. 

“Do you have something you need to tell me?” 

Unbelievable. What could she possibly have to tell him? With no time to spare for Ian, she dialed Susan’s number. 

“Sage, why couldn’t I reach you? What happened last night? Did Ian dump you? Are the rumors true?” Susan unleashed a barrage of questions as soon as the call connected. 

Sage didn’t feel like dealing with her aunt’s questions that morning, so she ignored her calls. She cleared her throat and stated coldly, “Mind your own business, Aunt Susan! It doesn’t matter if I get divorced from Ian. I’ll still be better off than Layla, who can’t even behave in college and is constantly partying and failing her classes!” 

Sure enough, Susan was enraged by her words. Her tone turned harsh. “Is that 

how you 

you address your elders, you little brat? If Layla weren’t so young, you 

wouldn’t even have the chance to marry into the Holcomb family!” 

“Do you seriously think someone who can’t even complete her studies could become the mistress of the Holcomb family?” Sage scoffed. 

“Sage Jayner!” Susan was seething in anger. “Is this how you treat us after all the years we spent raising you? You ungrateful wretch!” Then, she hung up the phone angrily. 

Sage also stowed her phone away with relief. Knowing Susan, she was sure she would immediately call Layla and force her to return to school. 

If Layla dared to disobey her mother, Susan would either come and get her or cut off her allowance. Layla knew her mother’s personality well enough not to defy 

her. 

Henry’s plan wouldn’t work if she could get Layla out of there. Then, Layla wouldn’t fall for his “knight in shining armor” nonsense.
