"Mr. Holcomb," Ivy interjected, "lan is just worried that you'll be upset with Sag. It was just a slip of the tongue. Please don't bemad at him for that." "Ivy, why are you speaking up for them? | heard from your father that you've been through a lot because ofSage. Don't you hold a grudge against her?" Leo inquired.
Ivy glanced at lan, who remained stoic, and told the truth, "It was tough at the time, but | know that Sage cares a lot about lan.Plus, her family spoiled her when she was growing up, so she can be impulsive. So | won't hold it against her."
“Look at you! You can't even control your wife. | can't believe you would let her stir up trouble everywhere and cause lvy so muchpain! Why can't you act like a man?" Leo reprimanded his son.

"You're right, Mr. Holcomb. | am incompetent. I'm very grateful for your support in matters regarding lan. | shouldn't have askedyou to come back for such trivial matters, but I'm genuinely out of options right now."
Ivy continued, "As you've seen, lan has developed feelings for Sage. I've tried everything | can think of, but | can't seem to breakthem apart."
Her expression became pitiful as
she said, "Mrs. Holcomb Senior has never been fond of me, so | can't be around her very often. The project is for a relative ofmine. The current situation can only be changed if he succeeds.
