Chapter 121
“Ian, did you agree to the divorce?” Owen asked.
Ian sat on the couch with a poker face. “I don’t make a habit of forcing others. I’m not going to stop her since she’s so eager to be rid of me.”
“No! You’re not allowed to get a divorce!” Susan was so furious that she tore up the divorce agreement.
“Hold on! That’s mine!” Sage lunged for the paper, but Susan simply shredded the divorce agreement that she had worked so hard to get in the blink of an eye.
Susan tossed the scraps into the trash and dragged Sage out of the office. “Let’s go find your grandfather. I’d like to see if he’ll allow you to do as you please this time!”
“I’m not going!” Sage struggled with all her might. “Stay out of this! I’ll tell Grandpa myself.”
Owen rose to his feet. “You’re coming with us, whether you like it or not! I’ve turned a blind. eye to your antics in the past, but I can’t believe you’re seriously considering a divorce! How could you treat your marriage so lightly? I can’t let you get away with this!”
“Please don’t take her seriously, Ian. Sage has always been impulsive. We’ll set her straight when we get home,” Owen pleaded worriedly.
Ian glanced at the irritated Sage and said coolly, “It’s alright, Uncle Owen. I wouldn’t have wasted my time dealing with Sage’s antics if I hadn’t been afraid that Grandma would worry.”
“Of course, of course,” Owen continued. “Mrs. Holcomb Senior has always been fond of Sage. For her sake, please don’t let this get in the way of your relationship with Sage.”
Then, he and his wife pushed Sage out of the office. Ian glanced at the paper scraps that were in the trash can. Ignoring them, he straightened his perfectly pressed suit and made his way to the conference room.
The tension in the car was thick. The couple’s faces were grim. Sage sat in the back seat, feeling miserable.
After all her hard work, she had finally gotten her hands on the divorce agreement! However, things had taken an unexpected turn and caught her off guard. From the looks of it, Owe and Susan weren’t going to let her off the hook so easily.
Sage had grown up with her grandfather and her mother. Owen, on the other hand, lived in the bustling city. He would only come back occasionally to share a meal with them, and he showed little interest in his niece.”
Thus, she and Owen weren’t particularly close. However, Owen was still her grandfather’s son and the overseer of their family business, so she couldn’t treat him like a stranger.
Now that the divorce was coming to her grandfather’s attention, she needed to brace herself and navigate the situation carefully.
As for the divorce agreement, she would just have to swallow her pride and ask lan to sign.

another one later. Sage leaned against the car window, closing her eyes.
The car pulled up to the courtyard of Joyner residence after an hour’s drive. Sage wanted to hop out of the car and get to her grandfather first, but Susan stopped her. “Let’s go in together!”
Sage was rendered speechless. The driver opened the car door for them. Sage was escorted into the living room by Owen and Susan.
Donald, who was playing chess with the butler, Dexter Moore, looked up in surprise when he spotted the three of them. “What brings the three of you here?”
Dexter greeted them with a smile and left. Owen took a seat across from him, visibly irritated. ” You might want to ask your precious granddaughter what she’s been up to!“
