Chapter 174
Sage wondered if Ivy was trying to get a rise out of her. She was about to say something when she noticed Ivy tucking a strandof hair behind her ear, revealing the earrings on her earlobe.
They were shaped like orchids, and the petals were made of diamonds. It was strikingly similar to the ones lan had left on herbedside table last time.
It was clear that both pairs were from the same designer. So, lan hadn't given her the pair of earrings he had intended to giveIvy. Instead, he had bought two pairs and given them a pair each. This revelation only fueled Sage’s growing frustration.
“Ms. Shekdotter, your earrings are really pretty,” she said lowly.novelbin
“You think so?” Ivy touched them and smiled warmly. “It was a gift. | didn’t think he’d remember that orchids are my favoriteflower.”
“Orchids are pure and elegant. It suits you, Ms. Shekdotter,” Sage complimented.
Then, she abruptly changed the subject. “By the way, here’s a funny story. | have a similar pair of earrings. | checked the priceand found out it was worth around 20 thousand dollars.”
“Is that so?” Ivy seemed genuinely surprised. “lan also- | mean, do you like orchids as well, Mrs. Holcomb?”
“It doesn’t matter if | like them or not. | believe you just said that lan gave you those earrings. Am | right, Ms. Shekdotter?” Sageinquired.
Ivy didn’t utter a word. She simply smiled.
“In that case, I'd appreciate it if you returned them now,” Sage continued. She then flashed a smile at Ivy, who looked like hereyes were going to pop out of their sockets.
“lan and | are married, so the money he spends is our money. Since he dropped 20 grand on a gift for you without consulting me,you'll either have to return them or transfer me the money.”
Ivy was shell-shocked. She was well aware that lan would never tell Sage that she was the one. who had bought those earrings.So, she knew Sage would think about her pair when she noticed Ivy was wearing a similar pair.
However, she had expected Sage to go crashing down to the depths of despair when she hinted. that lan had given her theearrings. She wanted Sage to humiliate her or even quarrel with lan and question him out of anger. Either way, she expectedsome kind of conflict.
But to her surprise, Sage didn’t lose her temper or kick up a fuss. Instead, she asked her to transfer 10 grand.+15 BONUS
“Well? Which is it, Ms. Shekdotter? Are you going to give me the earrings or the money?” Sage pressed.“Have you considered how lan would react if he found out about this, Mrs. Holcomb?”
“| couldn’t care less about what he thinks. I’m just exercising my rights as his wife.”
“Mrs. Holcomb, | bought the earrings. They have nothing to do with lan,” Ivy confessed.
“| see. You just don’t want to cough up the cash, huh? Wait right here.” Sage whipped out her phone. “I'll give lan a call and askhim to throw in an extra 10 grand in the divorce settlement. You can be our witness, Ms. Shekdotter.”
“That won't be necessary!” Ivy couldn’t drag lan into this. He was already upset about the photo she had taken the last time. Hewould be seething if he found out that she had misled Sage into thinking that he had given Ivy the earrings.
“lll Venmo you 10 grand,” she said through gritted teeth.Sage smugly handed Ivy her phone. “Go ahead.”
