Yoel knew if he continued yapping, a certain someone would end up in a tough situation tonight. Yoel still had some conscience and finally stopped the subject for Jace's sake. He turned serious and talked about the situation after he went to the police and Mortals nightclub.Jasper's gang was detained for kidnapping. They were injured badly. Firstly, they received two rounds of beatings from Sage and Jace. When Yoel rushed over, he beat them again. Jasper's gang received three beatings in just a day. When the police arrived at the scene, all of them had swollen faces. They were barely recognizable."I called Cole over and told him to investigate Jasper's gang. They might have done some crime before. If the police found out something after the investigation, they might be sentenced to eight to ten years of jail," Yoel said in a serious tone."After that, I went to Mortals again. Nigel and I partnered with others and incorporated Mortals. I borrowed his name to have a meeting with Log
After ending the call, Sage turned around and looked at Jace with a slightly cold gaze."Mister Jace, it's going to be a long night. Let's talk about your history with the female soldier from Herea." Jace was lost for words. Could he say no? It seemed like he had no way to deny it.Jace spent the whole night talking to Sage to convince Sage of his innocence. He was relieved to persuade her, but then Sage showed him with action that the incident was not over yet.When they were in the shower, Jace almost went crazy with Sage's torture.Jace had to keep his hand away from the water, so Sage offered to help. To keep his hands out of the water, Sage tied his wrists to the toilet wall. She washed his hair and body while asking him questions as she did so.Jace's body was covered with goosebumps. His eyes were wet. He finally knew what she was referring to when she threatened him before. This was what she meant by her idea of torturing him.It was not painful, but it was unbearable.
Jace was hurt badly. Sage did not condone Jasper's gang. The investigations went on, and they were locked up and sentenced accordingly.Sage did not know how they had the nerve to blackmail her. Oh, this time, it was Sienna who gave them the courage. Sage was a vengeful person, but she rarely made her enemies pay the price in an instant. She loved torturing them bit by bit and making the revenge longer. She would watch them destroy their own lives. When she was finally tired of watching the game, she would be kind enough to give them mercy and send them away for a happy death.It was just like playing a game. It was no fun to finish the game in a day. It was more fun to play one level at a time, slowly finishing the game. Otherwise, it would be boring.On the day Jace had his stitches removed, the police arrested Sienna. The people of the Riverside District in Nadeem City reported her for selling sexual services illegally."Now, the two ladies from the Zelda family can finally re
Not long after they started, Cole came in a hurry. Melody was the youngest on the table and automatically got up to give up her seat. However, Yoel held her down and said, "Sit down. He's a big man. He can eat anywhere.""Thanks for your kind reminder. You reminded me that I'm a big man. I'm so f*cking tired of work!" Cole bickered with Yoel the moment they met.Yoel frowned. "There's a kid here. Mind your language." Cole smiled apologetically at Melody and told her to sit down. Then, he requested the waiter to add a chair and sat between Jace and Yoel."Hurry up and sit down. Eat up," Yoel urged Melody gently.Melody sat down again and muttered softly, "I'm not a kid…""What did you say?" Yoel did not hear her clearly.Melody did not want to repeat herself, but she saw Yoel's flirtatious eyes and could not help it. She raised her pitch, "I'm saying that I'm an adult! I'm not a kid! Can you stop treating me like a child?!"She raised her voice and made the customers at the
As Sage was thinking of that, she saw Logan holding Jasper's head and let out a deep sigh."You and your brain… If you hadn't had a high fever when you were a kid and couldn't afford to treat it, you wouldn't have been this stupid." Sage was lost for words. D*mn. Jasper was really dumb, which explained his stupid actions."Logan and Jasper… Are they real siblings?" Melody listened to Jasper's heartfelt cry and asked."No." Cole said, "They're both abandoned children." Melody looked up sharply upon hearing that. "What do you mean by that?""Abandoned children were abandoned by parents because of physical disability at birth or after birth. Logan and Jasper ran away from the orphanage at a very young age. They lived on the streets with no parents and no supervision. These kinds of people were named the abandoned children.""I see." Melody nodded thoughtfully. "If Ross didn't pick me up back then, I would've become an abandoned child like them," she said faintly.Melody sounded
Cole's mouth twitched when he saw Jace's overprotective manner. "I can't even give her a friendly hug?""No." Jace dismissed his request immediately.Cole rolled his eyes at Jace. "You're a prick!"…Sienna's case was not as dramatic as her aunt's, but it did make the social news. The netizens were shocked by the Zelda family's various shameless actions. It renewed their knowledge of the words 'scholarly family'.[Please don't insult the real scholarly families, thanks. The Zelda family is just a camp of mistresses.][No wonder people say it's important to marry a good wife. A woman's influence on a family is too great. It affected three generations at once. Their family is all f*cking ruined.][Young and beautiful girls shouldn't be mistresses. There are plenty of men out there. Go out and open your eyes. Why snatch other women's men?]This topic generated a lot of buzz online. Sage was active on the internet and regularly surfed around and scrolled around to read the commen
"Are you worried that I'll do something to him? You're thinking too much. I'm a good law-abiding citizen. I won't do things against the law."Sage told Logan, "Even so, I won't drop my charges on Jasper. Whatever his intentions, it's a fact that he came to blackmail me and hurt my boyfriend. I'm not generous enough to let him go without paying the price. Therefore, I think we can agree on something on Jasper's matter."Logan narrowed his eyes slightly. He seemed surprised at how the talk with Sage went so smoothly."What?" Sage asked, "You don't believe me?""No, but I just didn't think you'd let it go."Logan said in a gruff voice, "I have the impression that spoiled young ladies aren't very reasonable."Sage let out a low laugh. "What if I'm really unreasonable? How do you plan to beg me?"Logan's face was sober. "According to the gang rules, I'll make amends and apologize with three cuts."Sage did not show any reaction to Logan's word, but Cole jumped in shock. He went over
Sage's sudden remark shocked the three men on the table. It was so unpredictable.The look on Jace, Cole, and Logan's faces changed. They narrowed their eyes and thought they had misheard her wrongly for a moment. She sounded like she was inviting Logan to a meal. It seemed more real than saying, "Let's fight."Logan frowned and looked at Cole. 'What's going on? Is she crazy?' Cole looked at Jace. 'What's with your woman? Is she out of her mind?' Jace ignored them and looked at Sage. "Sage...""Relax. I know what I'm doing." Sage gave Jace a reassuring look. After that, she led the group to a boxing gym next to the mall. She found a suitable place to fight.… Sage went into the changing room to change. Cole sighed helplessly and asked Logan, "Do you want to go change too?"Logan looked at Cole with a tense face. "Is she really going to fight with me? What if someone got injured? Who's going to bear the responsibility? You?""Why me?! Can I afford it?!"Cole was horrifi
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
