Chapter 78
“I’m going to get you back no matter what!” Giselle cried before running out of the office, her eyes red.
As Sage watched her leave, she said, “How rude of you to do this to your own fiancée, Mr.
Morrison.”
“She’s not my fiancée!” Shane hated that term. Then, he said coldly to Sage, “How polite of you to create this persona for me that’s head over heels for you. You’re really bold!”
Sage didn’t feel guilty about it at all. “I only did this for your own good. She would’ve been used to dealing with women who are infatuated with you if I pretended to behave that way.
“Only by knowing that you have feelings for another would she have given up on you.”
“Does that mean I have to thank you?”
“Not necessarily. You can just be a man of your word.”
Shane was about to continue speaking when a bodyguard said from outside, “Mr. Morrison, the receptionist just reported that some police officers have entered the building. They suspect someone’s being unlawfully detained here.”
Shane came to his senses instantly. He raised an eyebrow at Sage. “You’re a bold one for getting up to these antics behind my back.”
Sage hid nothing on her face. “What if you went crazy and tried to abduct me again? I needed a way out regardless.”
Though Shane said he wouldn’t cause Sage any trouble once she got rid of Giselle, she was still concerned about any sudden changes. That was why Sage had unlocked her phone earlier when Shane was on his call and called Tiana’s number.
Tiana guessed that Sage was in trouble after hearing her talk with Shane over the call. So, Tiana silently called the police.
Shanaw
angry at all. In fact, he gazed curiously at Sage. “How interesting.
“I’ll consider your suggestion if you can really make Mimosa hit its investors‘ targets, Ms. Joyner.”
Sage smiled politely. “Alright. I hope I don’t disappoint you this time, Mr. Morrison.”
The police soon came into the office.

Sage immediately told them it was her friend who called them here and that Sage herself
was fine.
Shane pointed to a corner in his office. “There’s a surveillance camera there that recorded every single thing that happened earlier. You guys can take a look at the footage.”
Sage glanced up at the camera, suddenly feeling chills run down her spine.
Shane did this on purpose! He wanted Sage to get rid of Giselle for him because he thought she’d pretend to be his girlfriend or someone who had affairs with him. That was why Shane recorded the whole footage. He wanted to show it to Ian and humiliate him!
Shane affirmed Sage’s thoughts. He sighed softly and said, “What a pity we couldn’t show Mr. Holcomb how infatuated his wife was over another man.‘
Sage remained quiet.
After leaving Farsight Investment, Sage called Tiana to update her on what happened.
“You’d better stay far away from Shane Morrison. He feels like such a cunning man, said fearfully.
Tiana
Sage consoled her, “Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.”
She then asked Tiana, “Did you feel anything off with that female classmate from yesterday when you were passing something to Wilson?”
Tiana replied, “When I went, I felt like the girl sat a closer distance away from Wilson. I’m not sure if it’s because of what you said or what.”
Sage said, “Trust your intuition. Don’t give her a chance to take advantage.”
“You’ve never even met her, yet why do I feel like you’re so judgmental against her?” Tiana asked, confused.
“Ian has admirers of his own, so I know a vixen when I see one.”

“Well, you don’t need to expose yourself like that,” Tiana said. “Fine, I’ll watch out. I’m going to go get some jewelry for my mother–in–law now!”
