“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 be mad at him for that.” “Ivy, why are you speaking up for them? I heard from your father that you’ve been through a lot because of Sage. 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 I know that Sage cares a lot about lan. Plus, her family spoiled her when she was growing up, so she can be impulsive. So I won’t hold it against her.””Look at you! You can’t even control your wife. I can’t believe you would let her stir up trouble everywhere and cause Ivy so much pain! Why can’t you act like a man?” Leo reprimanded his son.lan retorted calmly, “Well if you’re so manly, why are you always so lonely?””lan!” Leo fumed.”Excuse me.” lan walked into the house.The smile on Ivy’s face faded as she watched lan walk away. Even though Sage hid it well, she noticed her awkward gait and the overly thick foundation on her neck. It was clear that things had veered off its original course again.novelbin Ads by PubFuture
“Is this all you’ve achieved after being back in the country for so long?” Leo asked coldly.Ivy turned back to Leo and looked at him apologetically. “My apologies, Mr. Holcomb. I want to be with lan, but I can’t rush things and risk him growing tired of me.””I supported you when you wanted to return to Haldon and join Holcomb Corporation. How do you expect me to invest in your projects when you can’ even win lan’s heart?” Leo was very displeased.”You’re right, Mr. Holcomb. I am incompetent. I’m very grateful for your support in matters regarding lan. I shouldn’t have asked you 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 I can think of, but I can’t seem to break them apart.”Her expression became pitiful as she said, “Mrs. Holcomb Senior has never been fond of me, so I can’t be around her very often. The project is for a relative of mine. The current situation can only be changed if he succeeds.FindNovel.net Ads by PubFuture
“However, my father’s company could only survive thanks to your and lan’s help. I can’t come up with such a large sum of money, so I can only ask for your help, Mr. Holcomb.”Leo responded apathetically, “I canprovide the funds. I don’t care about your plans or how you intend to carry them out, but you’ve got to take some serious action to put lan in a tough spot.” “I’ll do my best, Mr. Holcomb.” Ivy was puzzled. “But lan’s your son, Mr. Holcomb. Why are you going after him?””Just focus on your tasks. You don’t need to worry about anything else,” he said sternly.”I understand, Mr. Holcomb.” Ivy lowered her head and nodded softly. No one noticed the cold glint in her eyes.Meanwhile, Sage found Linda in the living room, where Josephine was massaging her shoulders. “Happy birthday Grandma! 1 wish you all the happiness in the world and a long, long life. May you grow younger with each passing year,” Sage said as she approached Linda. Sage started massaging the elderly m woman’s shoulders after asking Josephine to take a break. My stomach was acting up when I was halfway there so I decided to go to the hospital.” “That’s good to hear. You have no idea how anxious lan looked when he left last night. He scared me.
