Chapter 70
Sage and lan entered Solaris Estate one after another after reaching it.

When she entered the bedroom, Sage realized that Wanda hadn’t removed all of lan’s things as she
told.
Fortunately, lan didn’t want to enter her bedroom tonight, so Sage just went in and locked the door from
the inside.
She then lay down on the bed. It felt as if she could still feel lan lying down next to her, making her twist
and turn in bed, unable to have a good night’s sleep. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
In the end, she gave up. She got out of bed and threw all of lan’s things into the corridor outside her room. She then dusted off her hands and flopped back down onto her bed. She hugged her pillow and fell
asleep at once.
By the time Sage woke up the next day, lan was nowhere to be found. His things were still lying outside
her door, however.
After telling Wanda to clean up the mess, Sage looked at her phone and saw that news about Mimosa
had been trending online again.
Benjamin and Priscilla had gotten divorced in record time. They had also split their shares in Mimosa.
Benjamin had taken his winemaking skills and cash elsewhere, setting up his own brand.
Meanwhile, Priscilla retained Mimosa’s name and a majority of the shares.
After all, Mimosa was a winery started by Priscilla’s father, Freddy Childe. It would make sense for
Priscilla to want to retain ownership of it.
Sage then decided to look for Priscilla.
When Sage reached Mimosa, Priscilla was still in the middle of a meeting. Exhaustion was evident in her
eyes, but she didn’t look the least bit upset or devastated.
“Priscilla?” Sage called out.
Priscilla looked surprised to see Sage. She quickly invited Sage into her office.
“Are you alright, Priscilla?” Sage asked.
In just a few days, Priscilla had experienced her husband’s betrayal and had done everything she could
to defend herself. After divorcing him as quickly as she could, Priscilla still had to ensure that Mimosa
continued operation as usual.
Despite being someone who’d been reborn, Sage didn’t think she could be half as determined as Priscilla
was.
Priscilla smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’d never regret the decisions I made.”
Sage asked, “What are you planning to do without Mr. Xenith’s winemaking skills?”
Priscilla then told her that Freddy had always had his own recipe, but they hadn’t promoted it, and its sales were only so–so. Nonetheless, Priscilla didn’t think it was any worse than Benjamin’s version.
“So you mean that the company can operate as usual? But you’ll just have a bit of a cash flow problem?” Sage pressed further.
Priscilla saw Sage as her friend. She didn’t deny what Sage had just said. “Times are a little hard.”
Although the one who’d been at fault was Benjamin, she was the one who initiated the divorce. She also didn’t want to waste time and effort dragging out the divorce. That was why she offered to split their
assets equally.
Since she would take Mimosa back, she cashed out Benjamin’s shares and gave them to him. As of now. Mimosa’s cash flow was close to zero. Priscilla also owed money to many of her loans and creditors.
After talking about the cash flow for a bit, Sage suddenly asked, “By the way, Priscilla, how did you find
out about Mr. Xenith’s affair?”
She just couldn’t understand it. Benjamin was a cautious person. He would never have done anything to
rouse Priscilla’s suspicion.
Priscilla answered Sage with a question of her own, “You don’t know?”
Sage was confused. “Was I supposed to know?”
*Someone from Farsight Investment told me about it,” Priscilla answered. “You wanted to invest in Mimosa under Farsight Investment’s name in the past, didn’t you? That’s why I thought you knew.”

Upon hearing this, Sage suddenly thought about the other day at the bar when Shane told someone to get something done over the phone. Was he referring to informing Priscilla about it?
“I didn’t know who it was at first. It wasn’t until I decided to look further into it while checking on
Benjamin that I found out it was you.”

Sage was surprised to hear this. She thought that Shane would be the first one to back up Benjamin– yet
he turned out to be the one who Informed Priscilla about It Instead.
What was the purpose of Shane doing this?
