A Farewell After Being Reborn
Chapter 165

Calvin pointed out, "lan, regardless of what she did afterward, the fact is that you left her there and took off with another woman."

lan didn't get what the big deal was. "Ivy's injury was severe. I didn't have time to attend to Sage. Plus, she wasn't injured anyway. Why couldn't she go home on her own?"

Calvin sighed inwardly. How could lan ever win his wife back with this kind of mindset? He was hopeless.

"Mrs. Holcomb is a woman, lan, and an accident happened at the banquet. I'm sure she must've been scared, even if she wasn't physically hurt. How could you leave her behind?

"Did you even think about how she felt? There were so many of your employees and business partners there too. Didn't you think they would have laughed at her?"

lan's forehead creased when he heard that. He instantly thought of the photo of Sage standing on the dance floor attached to that viral post.

Her face was crestfallen, and her large eyes were dull as she stood alone in the crowd. The post also claimed that she was being neglected, that her marriage was just a facade, and that she was actually getting a divorce.

When he came across the subsequent topics about Mimosa, he assumed that it was part of Sage's plan. However, he hadn't considered the fact that if it hadn't been her doing, then she would've been subjected to ridicule and mockery.

Mulling it over, lan couldn't shake the sinking feeling he had when he first stumbled upon that tweet that night. "If she wasn't feeling well, why didn't she tell me?"

Calvin analyzed the situation and said. "I reckon she thought telling you wouldn't change anything. Moreover, Mrs. Holcomb is no pushover. She decided to go with the flow and make the best of the situation when she realized she couldn't change public opinion. Of course, she wouldn't bother complaining about being wronged if she benefited from it."

The image of Sage's tear-streaked face popped up in Ian's mind. That night, she said she wasn't upset and wouldn't let herself be taken advantage of. lan couldn't help but wonder if this was how she felt.

"So... what should I do now?" he asked with a frown.

Calvin was relieved to see that he had finally caught on. "lan, I'm sure a lot of your employees were there that night. All of them must've looked down on Mrs. Holcomb after what you did—"

lan cut him off. "Cut the crap and just tell me what to do to fix this.”

Calvin pondered for a moment. "Doesn't your company organize a lot of team-building events? Why don’t you bring Mrs. Holcomb along to one of them? It would show everyone that you value her and would help her regain some respect.”

"Will that work?"

"Of course! Even if it doesn't, it would still be good to take her out for some fresh air."

lan decided to give Calvin's suggestion a shot. After all, Sage had complained in the past that he never took her out.

Sage called Michael in the afternoon before leaving for the sports complex to ask about the video Michael told her he had recorded and sent a few videos to the group the night before. Kai thought they were good, so he edited and posted one online.

"Ms. Joyner, we didn't expect the video to blow up like this. I hope it didn't cause you any trouble.” "It's alright,” she said. "I'm actually very pleased to receive so many compliments, and I had a blast playing the drums yesterday."

"There are a lot of people asking for the full version. What do you think, Ms. Joyner? Should we post it?" he asked.

Sage sighed and said, "Nah, forget it. I don't want to become an influencer. Let's just leave it at that."

"Alright." Michael respected her decision.
