A Farewell After Being Reborn

Sage wondered if Ivy was trying to get a rise out of her. She was about to say something when she noticed Ivy tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, revealing the earrings on her earlobe.

They were shaped like orchids, and the petals were made of diamonds. It was strikingly similar to the ones lan had left on her bedside table last time.

It was clear that both pairs were from the same designer. So, lan hadn't given her the pair of earrings he had intended to give Ivy. Instead, he had bought two pairs and given them a pair each. This revelation only fueled Sage's growing frustration.

"Ms. Shekdotter, your earrings are really pretty,” she said lowly.

“You think so?" Ivy touched them and smiled warmly. "It was a gift. I didn't think he'd remember that orchids are my favorite flower." "Orchids are pure and elegant. It suits you, Ms. Shekdotter," Sage complimented.

Then, she abruptly changed the subject. "By the way, here's a funny story. I have a similar pair of earrings. I checked the price and found out it was worth around 20 thousand dollars.”

"Is that so?" Ivy seemed genuinely surprised. "lan also— I mean, do you like orchids as well, Mrs. Holcomb?"
