"I left with Hunter. I went to Skye Hotel, and Hunter went back to the Norah Group.""Is there anyone who can testify to that?"Sage said, "My bodyguard Logan and the security guards at Norah Group. There's Jace too. They all can testify."Sean nodded and asked, "Where were you after that?""Skye Hotel. I stayed there with Jace and left yesterday afternoon. We went back to Rosa Garden after that."Sean looked at her. "After you left the warehouse, did you give your men any orders to beat Jon and Jericho to death?""No." Sage furrowed her brows. "After all, they've been with me for many years. I'm angry, but not to the point of killing them."In fact, she was not the one who instructed the bodyguards to beat them up that day. She really wanted to beat them up that day, but she did not!Sean listened to Sage's words and looked at her. His deep and sharp gaze seemed to be piercing through her.Sean asked with a calm tone, "If not you, who else could it be?"Sage's eyes narrowed.

Carrington shook Jace's hand away. "I'm lecturing my own son. It's none of your business!"She stared at Jace's face and suddenly narrowed her eyes. "I've seen your face online. You're Sage's rich boyfriend, aren't you? You're in it together!"Her eyes glowed with hatred as she rammed her head into Jace. The police had to stop her as things became messy again.Sean came out of the interrogation room and saw such a chaotic scene. He was used to seeing this in lawsuits and did not seem surprised. Sean calmly pulled Jace aside. Meanwhile, Carrington was pounding her chest and bawling again.Jace could not be bothered with her. He looked at Sage and asked with concern, "How is Sage?""She's fine. There isn't enough evidence now. The police can't listen to Carrington's one-sided story and convict her as a murderer."The police would have to release Sage in twenty hours because of insufficient evidence. Jace always felt restless without Sage around. Having her out of his sight made

That explained why she was released so quickly. It turned out that Hunter took her place."Nonsense!" Sage was so angry and wanted to walk back.Jace knew what she wanted to do and stopped her. He hugged her and soothed her, "Don't be angry. Hunter took your place for a reason. Someone is spreading rumors about Jon and Jericho's death on the Internet and claiming that you ordered their deaths. Currently, public opinion is very unfavorable to you and Norah Group. You have to come out and take charge of the situation. You have to solve the crisis."Jace took out his phone and showed it to Sage. When Sage saw the viral news, her eyes turned cold, emitting a cold chill.Someone had set her up! They wanted her dead!"What's with your arms?" Jace saw the wounds on Sage's arms. His face turned cold at once. "Did they hurt you?"Jace shot some cold gaze toward the police officers. The police officers felt the gust of chill wind from the cold glares.Sage hurriedly explained, "No. It's…

The reporters were shocked to hear the statement from Sage. They never expected her to admit the truth with such courage and bravery."I hit them because they were my men, but they chose to betray me. I was furious at them. However, I never hit them so badly that they lost their lives because of it. I will bear responsibility for the things I did. However, don't think about charging me with crimes I have not done. Show me the proof if you are certain that I was the one who did it," Sage said solemnly and sternly.Soon, the interview was posted on the internet. It was a huge contrast to see Sage standing and Missus Mabbery kneeling down. Many people felt sympathy for her. They felt sorry for her that she had to become a widow at such a young age and had to take care of three sons on her own. She was going to have a hard life ahead of her.[I'm also a mother. I can relate to how desperate she is. Think about her three sons. How is she going to continue to live her life after her husba

Sage felt bad and had mixed feelings when she listened to what Leah said. A good relationship happens when both parties are willing to make sacrifices.It was her instinct and her own willingness to treat her family with kindness. She never expects anything back in return.

After 24 hours, there was no new evidence to prove Hunter was related to the murder of Jon and Jericho. Thus, he was released."Hunter." Leah approached and hugged him.Even when she knew he was safe inside, she still felt sorry and pity for him. Her eyes were red."I'm fine. I even fell asleep inside," Hunter comforted her. He smiled and touched her face. "We've said our vows and held our wedding ceremony. Now there's one last step to complete our marriage."Leah was still worried about him, and her thoughts were a little slow, so she did not realize what Hunter meant. "What is the last step?""Our first night as a married couple. We didn't manage to do it last night. Tonight is the night then," Hunter whispered in her ears softly.Leah blushed shyly as she punched him lightly.Hunter held her hand and walked out of the station. Then he looked at Jace as he tried to soothe Sage's uneasy feeling. "Sage, I'm fine."Sage nodded her head and patted his shoulder. "We'll talk once w

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.

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

"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.
