After Samuel Health Center released its statement and surveillance video, the comment section quickly exploded with a series of comments. Everyone was stunned and confused.[Holy sh*t. Aren't these just wrong accusations? The Zelda family dragged a dying man to the hospital and blamed them for killing him. This is a plain accusation!][I think the statement is very clear. The Zelda family are clearly the ones who refused to believe Dr. Duncan's advice. Now, they're blaming the doctor for not saving him. Isn't this ridiculous and funny?][Man, this is completely their own fault! They didn't even believe the advice from a great doctor and refused to accept his treatment plan. How can the doctor save you like this?] Soon, Luna's side followed up with a post. [You can easily edit the video clip from your own surveillance camera. Are you daring enough to put out the complete surveillance record?]Why not? After that, Samuel Health Center actually released the full surveillance over th
After Freya issued her statement, the office workers sitting in front of the computer with sleepy faces were suddenly awake. The media were very excited and clapped their hands together. "Here it comes!"The media had to work overtime because of Luna's three questions for Freya. The humble reporters spent the night working on the press release and cursed at Luna and her family while writing the draft.Meanwhile, Freya chose to issue a statement during work hours. She was so understanding of the working class's hardship. It was not surprising coming from Freya, who had been in the workplace for years. The pattern and who was better was immediately apparent.The media looked forward to the contents of Freya's statement.[I apologize for the constant public disturbance over something against my wish. The Yuriel family has a family motto of keeping family matters behind closed doors, which is why I haven't responded to this scandal in years.][I hope people will focus on success in my
[You're already branded as a homewrecker. You have been a mistress for the past twenty years. Are you trying to remove that title now? Well, it won't be that easy.][I must tell you this. A homewrecker who destroys someone's family isn't worthy of the original spouse's respect. Finally, I'll answer your three accusations.][Firstly, I've never told my husband Roy to do anything. I didn't order him to kill Dane. Roy has his ethics, and I have mine.][Secondly, it's true that I didn't see Lucas one last time. Well, I didn't have to. He's your husband. It's more than enough for him to have you by his side. Why see his ex-wife on his deathbed? Besides, I have a husband who loves me a lot. Roy is a jealous man. I don't want anyone else to ruin our marriage.][That's all for today. If you have any objections, feel free to raise them. However, don't say baseless things without substantial evidence. In addition, your false accusations have caused great inconvenience in my life, constitutin
Luna gripped her cell phone tightly. When she saw Freya's public statement, every line and word was a public slap on her face.Luna clenched her teeth tightly until her veins on the forehead were visible. Her finger was pale from gripping the phone tightly. Luna grimaced. Freya had always been so high and mighty. Luna had been envious of Freya since they were children. They were neighbors at that time and lived nearby. They were living so close to each other, so the girls of similar age easily mingled around.In those days, everyone's family was not crazily rich yet. The Zelda family was famously known to be scholarly. Her father was a famous intellectual in the area, and her mother was a high school teacher. They were not rich but considered a middle-class family.In comparison, the Yuriel family was not any far better. Grandma Yuriel was a colleague of her mother. She was also a high school teacher. At that time, Grandpa Yuriel was still working in the Bureau of Culture as a
Luna did not expect what happened at the office next. Freya's parents came, but they did not beat her or scold her. Instead, they patiently asked her about the incident.Freya told them what happened. Freya's father smiled in response and said, "So you fought because you're defending me. Thanks."Freya's face was still bruised by the male classmate who fought back. She smiled and held her hand together. "It's no big deal. You are welcome."Freya and her father's joking conversation left Luna stunned on the spot. She could not understand. Why did Freya's parents thank her for getting into such big trouble instead of hitting her?After that, Freya's parents made Freya apologize to the boy who had been beaten up. They even shook hands and made up, but Freya still had to apologize in front of the whole school.At that time, Luna gloated at Freya and thought, 'You're the top student, but so what? You still have to apologize in front of the whole school. I'll see how you'll embarrass yo
"To be honest, there was a time when I was really envious of Luna."Freya sat on the stool cross-legged and twirled her wine glass. She said to Primrose with a slightly dazed look.Primrose asked, "Huh? Why were you envious of her? She's so pretentious and shameless enough to steal men from others."Primrose's reply made Sage speechless. Sage sat aside and shook her head helplessly. She thought her mother was being too harsh with her words, but she had to admit that she was telling the truth.Freya laughed heartily. Primrose laughed along too, and the two of them clinked glasses.Seeing that Freya and Primrose were a little drunk and about to talk more intimately, Sage quietly left without disturbing them. Jace happened to return from Samuel Health Center. Sage walked to him and asked, "Has it been resolved?""Yeah." Jace smiled and said warmly, "The media has left. The health center is back to business as usual. Now, they're seeing twice as many patients as usual.""It seems
Sage took out her phone again to check the time. "There's ten more minutes. This is her last chance." Jace nodded and glanced at the pavilion. "What are they talking about? Why do they seem excited?"Sometimes, even Jace was impressed by Primrose's social energy. Primrose was full of energy and a social butterfly with magic around her. She seemed so full of confidence at all times. People around her would be infected by her energy. When Freya stayed with her, she seemed more relaxed and comfortable than before. Even her smile was a little different from her usual look. "They're talking about Luna," Sage said. "Earlier, Aunt Freya said there was once when she was envious of Luna."Jace was startled. 'There was once when Mom was envious of Luna?'"Well, I grew up spoiled. I'd call my childhood perfect." Freya had a warm smile on her face. "When I was a child, my family wasn't that wealthy yet. My parents were married of their own will and out of love, which was not very common
Many netizens kept refreshing their page while waiting for Luna's apology statement. They never thought to see a threat and curse instead of a formal apology from Luna. Everyone drew a cold breath when they saw Luna's post.Who gave her the nerves? How dare she curse at this point? Was she out of her mind?Those who supported Freya all criticized Luna in the comment section. "You're the one who deserves to die. People like you should go to hell!"Many psychologists came out to analyze the situation. They claimed that Luna had lost her mind and was not afraid of anything anymore. She was fearless and wanted to end it all with Freya. Freya knew Luna would never stop. She did not expect her to apologize publicly, but it was not like her to be so blunt."Ha! Look at her! Did she really think no one could teach her a lesson? Not everything will be in her favor!" Primrose looked angrier than Freya. She stood up in a fury and roared, "Send her the lawyer's letter at once! We have to t
Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and
The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and
Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time
Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou
'Electric drill? Seriously?!' Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep. Jace put her to bed and took off her shoes, socks, pants, and clothes. He stripped her clean.Sage drank a lot and was reeking of alcohol. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to
In the words of the commentators, the basketball game was very smooth. The national team played well! At last, the national team defeated the opponent team by a score of 106-73.The crowd was thrilled that the national team had won the game. The internet was buzzing with excitement too. There were several hot searches about the national team's victory. The topic #RisingStarJim made the headlines too.Sage had lost her usual composure. She was following the fans and shouting wildly, cheering for the victory.Perhaps this was the power of sports. It made the audience exhilarated and trembling with excitement. Jace looked calm on the outside, but he was actually quite excited on the inside.Sage was cheering in excitement. She jumped up and down like a child while hugging Jace. Jace followed and laughed with her too.They were planning to leave after the game, but Sage was really happy and stayed for the team's celebration party. Sage even asked Jim for his teammates' shoe sizes and
"Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.
The next morning, Sage, Jace, and Dean went to the basketball arena for the World Championships after breakfast.It was the men's basketball world championship, where their country's basketball team was up against another country. By the time they got to the arena, many people were in the audience.The staff guided Sage and the group to their designated seat in the family section.As soon as Dean sat down, someone next to him called out his name. Dean seemed unsurprised by this. He even smiled and waved at them. After that, he gestured for them to be polite and silent. It was not Dean's first time watching his younger brother's basketball game live. Many of his fans knew that Dean's younger brother was playing on the national team. They especially came over to get closer to him. Some were Jim's fans too. They knew Dean was Jim's brother, so they would greet him.After listening to Dean's explanation, Sage's businessman side as the owner of Norah Entertainment appeared again."If
Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it." Sage looked at him.Jace though
