Chapter 173
Why would he call her this early in the morning? He was probably going to stop her from looking for Collin or ask her to join hiscompany’s team-building event again.
However, she felt like there was not much to say about either of these things. Hence, she decided to ignore his call. He used toignore her calls as well. It was time for him to feel the same frustration.
Sage silenced her phone before heading out. Sage spotted a familiar figure when she arrived at Collin's research facility. It wasIvy.
Sage hadn't seen Ivy since she was injured at the Holcomb Corporation's party. She hadn’t expected to run into her here.
Ivy wore an elegant dress and a tailored blazer. It made her look professional, yet gentle. She had her bangs down, presumablyto cover the wound on her forehead. Even with makeup on, she looked frail.
Sage couldn't believe how dedicated Ivy was, or that she had only stayed in the hospital for a few days and was already back atwork after being hit by a chandelier.
In her previous life, lvy spent nearly half a month in the hospital even though her injuries. weren't as severe. Of course, lan hadbeen by her side the entire time. This had made Sage green with jealousy.
Hence, she kept bombarding lan with messages. She complained that her back was hurting a lot and that she was also in thehospital for physiotherapy, hoping that lan would come and see her. Yet he ignored her and never even replied to a singlemessage.
She was so angry that she endured the pain in her back and went to the hospital with Delilah to cause a scene. As expected, shewas driven away by lan. He even warned her to behave herself, or that he would otherwise hold her accountable for injuringIvy...
“Mrs. Holcomb, what brings you here?” Ivy’s voice snapped her out of her reverie.Sage looked at her gentle demeanor and asked icily, “Why can’t | be here?”Ivy didn’t seem to mind her tone. “Of course, you can be here. | was just curious, that's all.”
Sage didn’t want to waste her breath on Ivy. She was afraid that she would lose her temper and strangle Ivy because of whathappened in her previous life. Calmly, she walked toward her.
However, Ivy held up a hand to stop her. “Mrs. Holcomb.”
Sage came to a halt. “What do
you want?”
“| want to apologize to you for what happened at the party,” Ivy responded. “After all, you+15 BONUS

Sage noted that Ivy was trying to prevent her from quarreling with lan and upsetting him over these trivial matters.Sage sneered. “How considerate of you. If | didn’t know any better, | might've thought you were his wife.”
Ivy, on the other hand, seemedoblivious to her sarcasm. ‘Honestly,it's as sippleasttit rat: rwillnbitratly treat others the way theytreat me.” The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
