lan watched Sage Indifferently.
Her head was lifted high, revealing her long, slender neck. Her pretty features were especially striking.
under the lights.
The man she was defending was looking gratefully at her with shining eyes. This made lan feel irritated.
“You don’t need to sound so righteous. You’re just like other women. Your husband is old and ugly, so
you signed up for this handsome young man’s class to seduce- Ow!”
The burly trainer hadn’t finished speaking when he suddenly let out a yell of pain. Michael had punched
his jaw!
“Don’t talk nonsense!”
The trainer sprawled on the ground, and blood spurted out of his mouth and nose. He covered his mouth,
whimpering in pain.
“Are you crazy? How could you be so aggressive!”
Michael was just a part–time worker, after all. The manager panicked when he saw their full–time worker
bleeding.
“Ken is right. A young and pretty woman like her who is so extravagant in spending is either someone’s
sugar baby or is married to an old man!”
“Who are you calling an old man?”
Just as Sage pulled Michael back and was about to retort, a cold male voice rang out ahead of them.
Sage looked up and saw lan walking toward her.
He was wearing a sophisticated black shirt. His striking looks and long legs made him stand out in the
crowd.
He looked completely different from how weak he had been last night. He had returned to his usual aloof,
distant self. He didn’t look like someone you should offend.
The manager of the sports complex and Ken were both stunned by lan’s appearance.
They were experienced men, and there were many burly, domineering men who frequented the sports.

That commanding air and arrogance weren’t something that anyone could achieve.
“W–Who are you?” the manager stuttered.
lan glanced at Sage, who looked surprised. He reached out and put an arm around her. He said
indifferently. “Her husband.”
Apart from the time at Shane’s bar, this was the first time lan had declared himself as her husband in
public to stake his claim on her.
Men were obviously all egotistical. They couldn’t bear being insulted, even by strangers.
Sage moved to the side slightly and pulled free of lan. This made him frown.
The manager’s and Ken’s eyes widened when they heard what lan had said!
This handsome man, who looked so rich and powerful, was this woman’s husband?
“You’re not an old man?” the manager blurted out in shock.
“Do you think that pretty women are only able to marry old men?” Sage retorted. “Can’t we earn
money and be beautiful ourselves?”

“Sorry. I’m sorry. We were rude! It’s our fault!”
The manager knew that he had offended someone important. He began apologizing at once and kicked
Ken, who was still on the ground. “Hurry up and apologize to her!”
Ken’s nose was still bleeding, but he didn’t want
apologizing.

trouble. He wiped the blood off while
“You’re just bullies who pick on those weaker than you!” Sage huffed. “I’m not the one you should
apologize to!”
Ken knew who Sage was referring to, so he apologized to Michael as well. He begged Michael not to hold
a grudge against him since they both worked there.
Sensing the impatience of the man in front of him, Michael told Ken and the manager to leave.
He stuck out his hand sincerely to lan. “Hello, I’m Michael I’m Ms. Joyner’s personal kickboxing trainer. I
apologize on my colleagues‘ behalf for offending you.”

to see Michael’s hand. He didn’t seem to hear him either. His brow furrowed as he ask
