Chapter 73
“My eyes! Who’s throwing things at me?”
The dusty cement water had entered Sandra’s eyes, stinging her so badly that she pounded her fists against the door as she screamed and cursed at it.
Sage took her time to wash her hands and clean up the sink before sashaying out of the bathroom.
Before she left, she grabbed the sign that said “Under Maintenance” and put it outside the bathroom
entrance.
Then, Sage called Michael up and said, “I remember you have a friend who’s really good at hacking. right? Can you please get him to do me a favor? Ask him to wipe out the security footage from this floor in this mall for the past half hour.”
Michael was a little confused, but he agreed to help her. “Alright. Give me the exact location.”
Sage had learned of Michael’s hacker friend from his social media posts. In her past life, she recalled watching an interview where the friend joked that he was a full–time musician and a part–time prodigy
hacker.
After settling everything, Sage finally felt a little bit better about Sandra.
Sage went back to Solaris Estate. She realized the things she’d thrown out of her bedroom were all still scattered on the floor outside her door.
She couldn’t be bothered with them. Instead, she focused on solving Mimosa’s issues.
They’d already made all the public statements they were supposed to make. Everyone now knew that Mimosa’s boss had been caught up in a scandal and, as a result, he’d been quickly divorced.
However, everyone was also aware that Mimosa had lost its core skills with Benjamin’s departure. In fact, the public knew that Benjamin was planning to set up another winery to compete against Mimosa.
So, how could Sage use this breaking news to her advantage?
Getting Priscilla to act like the victim in this matter was impossible. She might even invite criticisms and keyboard warriors to roast her instead of getting any pity from the public.
Most of the ideas Sage came up with wouldn’t work. She then grabbed her phone, thinking that she should perhaps scroll around and read the latest news to get some inspiration.

She came across an interesting news article. To celebrate their acquisition of Bolton Investment. Holcomb Corporation would be organizing a celebratory banquet and inviting all the elites and
professionals to attend.
In her past life. Holcomb Corporation had also organized a banquet like this, but it was to congratulate
Bolton Investment on successfully investing in Mimosa.
Who would have thought that Holcomb Corporation would still throw a banquet despite their failure to
invest in Mimosa this time around?
Holcomb Corporation had already acquired Bolton Investments for at least a month. Anyone with insider information would know that this was just a front to cover up their mistakes with Mimosa in the past.
Even so, this was a good way of introducing Bolton Investment to the eyes of the public.
Sage turned off her phone.
She went
went downstairs, meaning to get a drink of water, and saw Wanda watching an online video.
Wanda often liked watching local Instagram reels and TikTok videos whenever she had a bit of free time. Hearing the familiar screams from the video she was watching, Sage popped up next to her to have a
better look.
As expected, it was a video of Sandra.
Leir was also a stick
Sandra’s face was covered in cement in the video. Her unruly mess. She was
crying and screaming at the mall employees, demanding compensation.
Meanwhile, the mall employees explained that since that part of the mall was currently under renovation, they had put up signs warning shoppers not to enter that area.
They also said there was something wrong with their security footage at that time, so they couldn’t find out what really happened.
However, the mall employees suspected that Sandra did all of these to herself just to demand a handsome payout from the mall.
That was
because Sandra had been caught deliberately making a tiny hole in the clothes of a luxury brand at the same mall so that she could demand a discount on the clothing item.
But after the sales assistant found out about her dirty trick, Sandra refused to acknowledge it and accused the employee of framing her.

The video commenters obviously hated Sandra’s despicable acts. They called her an evil, greedy, and unreasonable old hag. They even went as far as to say that Sandra would continue being bad until the
day she died because it was in her bones.
A while later, the mall employees reported the incident to the police, and they arrived to take Sandra
away.
“Serves her right! The police should teach her a lesson!” Wanda said with a huff.
Sage just chuckled. “She does deserve it.”
“Ay the way, Mrs. Holcomb, are you here because you’re waiting for Mr. Holcomb?” Wanda suddenl
asked.
