Chapter 141
Ian’s parents didn’t even return from overseas after she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital. So there was no need for her to deal with her in–laws.
“It’s okay. You should focus on your own matters,” Sage said, comforting Tiana.
She couldn’t help but add, “Actually, you’ve done very well. Even if they don’t acknowledge you, you don’t have to feel aggrieved.”
“I just don’t want Wilson to be distracted by these things,” said Tiana optimistically. “But you’re right, I have done very well. I’m sure they will eventually accept me as their daughter- in–law. After all, I’m so outstanding!”
Although Sage knew Tiana was being overly optimistic, she didn’t want to dampen her spirits.
“Just love yourself a little more. If you can’t handle something, leave it to Wilson. It’s good that he’s busy, but he can’t just ignore everything because of that.”
“I know, I know. Don’t worry,” Tiana responded.
After hanging up the phone, Sage let out a sigh. Tiana was too much like her old self. She was too stubborn to be convinced with only a few words. It would take time.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Due to the live broadcast, the alcohol poisoning incident at Mimosa had gained a lot of public attention. Although the other party insisted that Mimosa’s liquor was at fault, they were hesitant to provide extensive test results.
Naturally, the court of public opinion favored Mimosa. Farsight Investment had also finalized the contract details with Mimosa, and the first payment was expected to arrive in Mimosa’s accounts soon.
As long as Mimosa continued to grow and did not breach any major contracts, the subsequent funds would continue to be channeled in as scheduled. Even its IPO was
imminent.
Priscilla was very happy with the results and invited everyone in the company, including Sage, to a celebratory party.
Ivy was finally discharged from the hospital. When she saw the news of Mimosa signing a contract with Farsight Investment, her expression turned extremely ugly.

Sage had smoothly revived Mimosa and even successfully roped in Farsight Investment. She couldn’t believe that Sage could do all that without the tacit approval or assistance of Ian.
With his influence, it would be effortless to bring down a company like Mimosa. Besides, Shane couldn’t outwit Ian and secure
a contract if the latter didn’t allow it.
He knew that Sage was one of the shareholders of Mimosa, which was why he had been so tolerant toward the company’s affairs this time.
But Ivy couldn’t understand why Ian, despite knowing that Sage was using her status as his wife to gain fame, indulged in her reckless behavior.
On top of that, why wasn’t Sage reacting to any of the rumors online about Ian not loving her and intending to dump her?
Things were spiraling out of control. Originally, Ivy thought she could trick Sage into making a scene to make Ian detest her, but it turned out to be counterproductive. Instead, Sage ended up benefiting greatly from her scheme.
She was about to get into her car when a balding man approached her. “Ms. Shekdotter, care for a cup of coffee together?”
Seeing the impatience and urgency in Benjamin’s eyes, Ivy felt annoyed. However, she concealed this with a professional smile.
“Sure,” she answered.
The two headed to a cafe next to the hospital. Benjamin first expressed his gratitude for her help in resolving his troubles last time. Then, he mentioned his hope for Bolton Investment’s investment in his new winery.
Ivy rejected him outright and said, “Mr. Xenith, given the current situation, do you really think you are in a position to seek investors?”
Benjamin’s face immediately darkened, no longer concealing his resentment. He scolded, That bitch ruined my reputation, kicked me out, and used my misery to her advantage. She used me as a stepping stone for her success, and now I can’t even secure an investment. People in the industry are looking down on me both openly and secretly!”
