Chapter 72
Sage was speechless for a bit. “You’re missing the whole point.”

Tiana suddenly burst out into laughter. “You about me. Wilson only has work on his
brain, nothing more, nothing less.
“Even the prettiest classmate sitting next to him means nothing. Otherwise, he would never have had to
resort to marrying a blind date!”
Sage wanted to knock some sense into Tiana. “It doesn’t hurt if you just paid a little more attention to your husband’s dating history. Get him some food or drink now. It’ll show that you care for him. Besides, you’ll also get a different perspective to continue eyeing that woman.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll go now if that’s what it takes for you to shut up about it.”
After ending the call with Tiana, Sage still couldn’t help feeling antsy about it. So, she sent Tiana a text message that said, “I remember you said your mother–in–law likes emerald jewelry. Lathuyria is famous for its emerald jewelry. Maybe you should get her an emerald bracelet as a gift.”
In her past life, according to what Tiana had told her, Wilson’s first love knew exactly what to do and how to do things right. Besides fostering an amicable relationship with Tiana, she also knew how to win over
Wilson’s parents.
Wilson’s
After returning from abroad, old flame had gifted Wendy Moss, Wilson’s mother, an emerald bracelet. Wendy had been simply delighted with it.
Tiana had even regretted not going to Lethuyria with Wilson. Otherwise, she would have been the one to gift Wendy her beloved emerald bracelet.
Sage sincerely hoped that Tiana’s efforts would change the ending between herself and Wilson this time.
Since they brought up the topic of gifts and souvenirs, Sage suddenly recalled that Linda would be celebrating her birthday in three weeks. She wanted to get something special for her.
After all, this would be the last act she would pull as Linda’s filial granddaughter–in–law.
Afterward, she would no longer be celebrating Linda’s birthday as her current identity anymore. She’d
just be another regular young woman to her.
Sage first went to the mall and ordered a set of prayer beads with tiny figurines for Linda. Linda liked anything to do with religious offerings, so Sage thought that this would be a suitable gift for her.

Sage then went to another place that specialized in customized albums. She thought of picking out a few photos she’d taken of them at the yard of the restaurant they went to and compiling them into a photo
album for Linda.
Just as Sage was going through her photos, she suddenly heard a loud, piercing voice screaming. “I just told you to buy some expensive–looking clothing, so why did you have to insist on getting this fucking
expensive watch?
“Why must you spend so much money? Don’t you know how to save money?”
Sage trembled.
Although it had been days since she’d been reborn, she still couldn’t stop herself from getting goosebumps all over her skin whenever she heard this voice.
In her past life, the owner of this voice, Sandra Fraser, had been torturing her for more than two years.
Sandra would always scream or yell at her, call her degrading names, and tell her that she was as
worthless as dirt and that even her breathing was a waste of air.
But if Sage fought back, she would experience even worse torture than before.
Sage turned back and saw the burly–looking Sandra coming out of the watch shop next door with a young man. He looked to be in his mid–20s.
The young man had the same facial features as Sandra. He towered around six feet tall and was wearing
a
new suit, coat, and tie with his hair slicked up on his head. He looked like he was an entitled brat born
into money.
“Why would I want to save on money?” the young man roared back. “That woman is from a rich background. She won’t fall for me if I don’t look my part!”
‘Fine, you always have your excuses anyway. Look at the shoes by yourself. I’m going to use the bathroom!” Sandra exclaimed, walking ahead of him.
Sage frowned. She let the sales assistant continue helping her choose her photos while she shadowed
Sandra.
One of the shops in the mall was currently under renovation, so there were piles of cement outside the bathrooms. Sage grabbed a bucket of cement and walked in after Sandra.
Nobody else was in the bathrooms, most probably because this part of the mall was still under
renovation.

Very quickly, Sage identified the stall that Sandra was in and locked her in from the outside. Then, she dragged a stepladder over and dumped the contents of the bucket into the stall.
“Who is it?” Sandra screamed from the inside.
Sage didn’t say a word. She then filled the bucket with water and returned to the stall, dumping the water
next.
