A Farewell After Being Reborn

Layla was always on her phone, talking to her friends about clothes and handbags. She paid no attention to Henry’s attentiveness and only saw him as an ordinary pursuer.

It was obvious that Henry must have done something else later on to make Layla change her mind about him.

“Hey, Layla, check it out! Your cousin’s handbag looks exactly like the limited edition one they’re selling online.”

The woman suddenly exclaimed with envy, “Regular folks can’t get their hands on these handbags! They’re exclusively reserved for high–profile clients!”

She spoke so loudly that even Henry, who was playing billiards, couldn’t help but look over.

Layla said with a hint of jealousy, “It’s no surprise that she has so much money to spend. Not only did she marry into a wealthy family, my grandfather even gave her 100 million dollars when she got married!”

Sage didn’t deny that she was rich. When the waiter came over, she took out the black card that Ian had given her.

Amidst a chorus of envious gazes, she handed the card to the waiter and said, “Please take this and swipe it. I’ll cover all the expenses here today.”

When Henry heard this, he walked over and said, “No way! I said I was treating, and I meant it. How can I let you foot the bill?”

“No worries. I’m Layla’s family, after all. I can’t let you guys pay for it when we’re out having

fun.”

Sage said it casually as if it was nothing special. She didn’t seem to think it was a big deal to pay for everyone’s expenses.

Refusing would make him seem ungrateful, so Henry pretended like it was no big deal and said, “Thanks a lot, then!”

After swiping the card, Sage stood up and said, “I’m so sorry, but I just remembered that I have something to attend to. Please continue your fun!”

Layla wasn’t thrilled to see her anyway, so naturally, she didn’t try to stop her from leaving.

Sage took her handbag and walked outside. While waiting for the elevator, Henry came after

her.

“Hey, can I have your contact information?”

Although Sage wasn’t really surprised by his actions, she still furrowed her brows and glanced.

at Henry.

Henry immediately explained, “I had no other intention. Since you’re Layla’s cousin, I just thought I could learn more about her through you and become more involved in her social circle.”

Sage asked nonchalantly, “Are you trying to pursue Layla?”

Henry frankly admitted, “That’s right. Although I haven’t known Layla for long, I really like her and want to pursue her seriously.”

Sage adopted a haughty attitude and said, “Our family doesn’t accept just anyone, and my uncle really adores Layla since she’s her only daughter. He really treasures her, so he wouldn’t allow her to date just anyone.”

“I’m well aware of that. I wouldn’t have had the audacity to pursue Layla unless I was sure I was worthy of her. My father owns a sizable agricultural products company in our hometown.

“While our family’s wealth may not rival your husband’s, I can guarantee that Layla will never face hardship with me.”

Henry added, “I simply don’t wish to inherit my father’s business so soon. That’s why I came to Haldon City to make a name for myself!”

She hit the nail on the head!

Sage recalled that Layla’s boyfriend was involved in an agricultural products company in her previous life.

Sage unlocked her phone and said, “Alright, I’ll give you my contact information for now since you’re being so sincere.”

Henry was excited to obtain Sage’s contact information. “In the future, I’ll need your help with stuff related to Layla then!”

Sage maintained her cold demeanor as she said, “Let me make it clear. I’m not saying. definitely help you. After all, this is a matter that concerns Layla’s entire life, so we can’t just

rush into a decision.”

“I completely understand your reservations. I’m confident that I’ll meet the expectations of both you and Layla.”

When the elevator arrived, Sage didn’t say anything more to him and immediately walked into

1. it.

Henry’s face revealed a mixture of mockery and smugness as the elevator doors closed.

She put on a façade of aloofness and sophistication in front of him. However, she was nothing but a rich and simple–minded woman.

That woman wouldn’t have stood a chance before him!

When Sage arrived at the parking lot, she found that Henry had transferred her a sum of money, which was the exact amount she had paid with her card earlier.
