A Farewell After Being Reborn

Chapter 50

Shane’s laughter was cold and malicious. “You had the guts to mess with me. I’ll teach you a lesson, even if it means breaking the law!”

When she saw Shane’s fearless attitude and the approaching bodyguard, Sage felt

a tinge of regret. She had been too presumptuous. She had thought that her knowledge from her past life could be leveraged to negotiate with Shane.

She never considered investigating what kind of person he was.

Now, with him turning hostile, she wouldn’t be able to escape if he decided to tie her up.

With Ian’s apparent dislike toward her, she doubted he would intervene. Even if he did, she didn’t want to owe him any favors.

“Hide if you can. Let’s see where you can escape to!” Shane stalked toward her. His voice was menacing.

The second floor seemed to have been cleared by Shane, and there was no one around to help. Sage’s scream for help was rendered useless.

Sage contemplated whether it would be more effective to smash a wine bottle and threaten to hurt herself or take a gamble by doing the same to Shane.

“Who dares to lay a hand on her?”

Amid her thoughts, an angry voice suddenly echoed from behind.
