Chapter 85
Ian was rendered speechless by Sage’s statement.
Terry, who was standing by the kitchen, sighed as he witnessed the scene. Sage was so fortunate to be able to get her hands on so much money.
Although Bolton Investment had set the maximum reward at 100 thousand dollars, Ian unexpectedly gave Sage one million dollars.
However, Ian’s money would eventually belong to Sage anyway. Therefore, at that moment, it didn’t really matter.
lan’s actions both pleased Sage and kept the money within the family. It was a clever move
on his part.
As expected of Ian Holcomb-he was truly intelligent!
Wanda suddenly asked anxiously, “Mr. Zane, you’ve been blocking the entrance for a while now. Can I please get through? Mrs. Holcomb hasn’t had breakfast yet.”
When he saw that Ian and Sage were almost done talking, Terry stepped aside and suggested, “Wanda, you should probably take a few days off.”
Wouldn’t that allow Ian to eat Sage’s home-cooked meals?
Wanda instantly panicked and asked, “Mr. Zane, have I done something wrong? Does Mr. Holcomb want to replace me?
Terry, who realized that his good intentions were misunderstood, promptly reassured her, Please don’t misunderstand me. You’re doing a great job.”
After breakfast, Ian and Terry went to the company, while Sage went upstairs to get ready, planning to go shopping to buy things and see if there were any gifts suitable for Linda.
When Sage went downstairs, she saw Wanda waiting for her with a nervous expression.
“What’s going on, Wanda?”
“Mrs. Holcomb, Mr. Zane said I should take some time off. Do you think Mr. Holcomb isn’t satisfied with my work and wants to replace me?”
Sage reassured her, “There’s no such thing. Don’t worry about it!”
Wanda was still feeling uneasy as she said, “When I brought Mr. Holcomb the medicine I

had brewed last night, he looked very displeased. He even told me to throw away all the medicine that Mrs. Holcomb Senior had sent.”
Sage couldn’t help but chuckle at the thought of the medicine. “If he wants it thrown out, just do as he says. If Mrs. Holcomb Senior asks about it, just let her know that he’s going to
find a doctor himself.”
Sage chose lan’s Bugatti in the garage since her car was still in the repair shop and hadn’t been picked up yet.
She had never driven such an outrageously expensive luxury car before. Even if she became wealthy later on, she might not be willing to splurge on one. So, she wanted to experience it before she got divorced.
She got into the car, easily started it up, and hit the road.
Sage had just parked the car in the shopping mall parking lot when she heard someone knocking on her car window.
She rolled down the window. A young face with exquisite makeup and a charming smile appeared before her.
“Hey there, Ian,” the woman coquettishly called out.
However, when she saw that it was Sage in the car, she was visibly taken aback, and the
smile on her face froze.
Sage was amused by Layla Joyner’s sudden change in expression. “Layla, what a coincidence. Don’t you have classes today?”
Layla was visibly disappointed. “Why are you driving lan’s car?”
Sage chuckled and said, “You seem to be quite familiar with Ian’s car.”
Ian usually drove low-key cars like the Maybach for work. Although the Bugatti wasn’t frequently driven, Layla instantly recognized it, which showed how much she paid attention.
to Jan.
“Layla, who is this? Didn’t you say this car belonged to some big shot?”
As soon as Sage got out of the car, she heard the man’s voice.
She glanced up and realized that there were three other people standing behind Eayla.
The one who had just spoken was a man about five feet nine inches tall. He was dressed in designer clothes, looking like a wealthy young man.

Sage found him somewhat familiar.
