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

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.

    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.

    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

    Sage looked at the clock; it was already ten o'clock at night. She was surprised to know how long she had slept…She pinched the center of her eyebrows and asked, "Everybody must be sleeping now.""Yes." Jace sat at the bedside. "We chatted for a while in the living room after returning. Everyone was tired, so they just returned to their bedroom after dinner."When she heard the word 'dinner', she unconsciously toucher her stomach. She was a little hungry. Jace monitored every movement Sage made and asked her, "Are you hungry?"Sage looked at him and nodded her head like a poor kid. She did not have the chance to eat during the wedding ceremony. Oh, wait. She did have a few peanuts before she was taken to the police station by the police. The police station did prepare a meal for her. Nonetheless, her mother said it was not appropriate to eat a prisoner meal on an auspicious day. Thus, they bought food for them from the outside, but she and Leah did not have the appetite to eat any

Sage asked him.Jace shook his head. "I'm still full from dinner. I'm not hungry. You can have all you want. There's still more."While they were talking, Nigel and Sean came into the kitchen. "I was wondering about the nice smell. So you're eating pasta bolognese! Is there more?""Yes." Jace served the remaining pasta to Nigel and Sean.Jace saw Ni

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.

"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.

    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

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 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.
