Chapter 210
Benjamin would only get questioned and a warning if he was detained for that.
Hence, Terry did a background search on Benjamin and had him detained for questioning on the opening day because he was using improper means.
Sage thought he would be locked up for a few years. Little did she know that he would be released so soon.

“Don’t worry about it too much. He’s the kind of person who bullies the weak and fears the strong. He won’t act rashly now that he knows Mr. Holcomb has taught him a lesson for Priscilla reassured. “I’ll go and warn him when he gets released. If he dares to hurt you again, I won’t spare him.”
Sage smiled when she heard that. “Alright. We live in a civilized society. I’m sure he can’t just do as he pleases.”
The girls continued talking about this issue for a while before Priscilla said, “Tiana’s been back for a few days now. Why don’t we meet up for lunch this afternoon?”
“Sounds good. Let me give her a call.” Tiana’s name popped up as soon as Sage pulled out her phone.
“Whoa, great minds think alike! I was just about to call you,” Sage quipped.
“Let me go first!” Tiana said. “My colleagues are planning a team–building event, and we cant bring our families. Wilson’s tied up, so you have to be my plus one!”
“That’s so sudden. Why didn’t you mention this yesterday?” Sage asked.
“That’s because I wasn’t planning on inviting you yesterday. Since Wilson’s tied up today, you lucked out!” Tiana explained. “We haven’t hung out in ages. Where are you? I’ll come pick you up!”
Then, it hit her. “Oh, by the way, why did you call me?”
Sage turned to Priscilla, who smiled as she took her phone. “Tiana, I wanted to invite you and Sage to lunch. However, let’s reschedule since both of you have other plans today.”
“I’ll take you up on that,” Tiana agreed cheerfully.
Sage headed out after saying goodbye to Priscilla. “I’ll go home real quick to change. Pick me up at Solaris Estate later.
Tiana responded, “Why bother? You’re stunning! You’ll look good in anything. No one can outshine you!”
“I might be a sight for sore eyes, but let’s tone it down a little, okay?” Sage said when she
heard laughter on the other end of the line.
“Okay, okay. I’m on my way to Mimosa now, so stay put!”
Sage didn’t have to wait long before Tiana and her colleagues pulled up. Tiana was driving, and there were two of her colleagues in the car, leaving the passenger seat open for her.
Sage greeted Tiana’s colleagues and asked, “So, where are we heading?”
Tiana beamed. “You’ll find out when we get there. It’s a place with breathtaking scenery and a great environment. I’m sure you’ll like it.”
Sage couldn’t believe that her best friend was being so childish. “Is it just us?” she asked.
“Mhm. The others went ahead in another car. We’ll all meet up at the destination.” Tiana’s colleagues were also girls their age. The group gossiped and talked about makeup throughout the journey. They arrived at their destination after about two hours.
Tiana’s other colleagues had also arrived and were snapping photos excitedly when they pulled up.
It was a mountain villa with a beautiful environment and expansive grounds. The entrance was grand, and the sign above it read “Greenfield Resort“. Sage was instantly reminded of something when she read that name.
