Sage only saw a flash of red before her eyes. In a blink of an eye, she was protected in a firm embrace.

When she looked up, she saw Jace's head and face were doused with the foul-smelling red liquid, which also stained his white leisure suit.

It made Sage's eyes turn red too.

Jace carefully loosened his grip on Sage. Jace could not be bothered about himself. He was more concerned about Sage and stared at her intently, worriedly. "Are you okay?"

Sage watched as the blood slowly dripped down from his head along his cheeks. She felt like her whole world had turned red. It took her back to the time when Jace got into an accident. The animal blood soaked him wet from his head, face, and body.

Everything was bloody red.

The feeling of heartache struck Sage again. Sage shook in anger.

Carrington was still shouting at the top of her lungs. She looked like a lunatic and attracted many onlookers' attention. The people around pulled out their cell phones and took videos of them. Soon, th

    "Are you hurt?"Jace shook his head. "I'm fine."He took off his clothes which were drenched in blood. Sage said to Logan with a cold face, "Call the police."Logan immediately fished out his phone and called the police.The police soon arrived at the scene to mediate the incident. Both Sage and Carrington were taken to the police station, where they both had some counseling.Carrington cried the whole time, while Sage only said, "I'll sue her."Her short sentence stunned Carrington, who was crying. She looked at Sage incredulously. "You'll sue me?"Carrington immediately exploded in anger. "Who are you to sue me? You're just a murderer! How can you sue me?!"Carrington lunged at Sage like a madman. Several female officers tried to restrain her but could not. Instead, Carrington scratched the police officer's back of the hand and left a bloody mark.The injured police officer hissed, "Argh…""I'll kill you!"Logan came forward and protected Sage behind him. He grabbed Carrin

    Sage walked out of the police station with a dark and gloomy face. She took Jace's arm, but Jace was afraid of getting her clothes dirty. "I'm dirty…"Jace tried to withdraw his arm, but Sage held it firmly in place. She said domineeringly, "I want to hold your hand!"She met with Jace's glance and muttered, "Even if it's dirty, you got dirty for me."Jace understood her mood and gently pursed his lips into a smile. He habitually wanted to pat her head, but the terrible smell of blood lingered on his hand. He retracted his hand as soon as he put it up.Jace said softly, "Let's hurry back to take a shower. I can't stand the smell anymore."Sage gave him a hard nod. She thought the same too!It was torturous to stay like this for even a second longer. The smell reeked so bad and made her nauseous.When she arrived at the gate, she saw a car parked not far away. It was a Benzley. Sage recognized the car and raised her brow. She thought, 'Who took my car out?' Tim gifted her this

    Nigel had not wrinkled his nose so much. He had not changed his expression and continued eating the fruit. He said, "Ah, you reek so much. You really smell after getting drenched with blood… Mom, I suddenly crave meat."Primrose glanced at him and said jokingly, "Yeah. Let's kill the pet at home for meat.""Woof?!" Puffy barked as if protesting against Primrose or Nigel. It just kept barking at Sage and Jace.Perhaps, it smelled the scent of blood and was so angry that it went wide eyes.Sage was raging with anger. After suffering the aggravation outside and being bullied by her own family, even the pet dog came to bully her. What happened to her status in the family?"Do you want meat? We can get it right here."Sage stared at Puffy with a gloomy look. "Bring the knife here. I'll get it for you."Puffy and Sage stared at each other for a short moment. In the end, Puffy could not resist Sage's powerful aura and jumped into Sean's arms for protection."Oh, dear. How did this hap

    It was rare for Sage to act like a baby with Jace. Jace found it really sweet. Jace knew Sage had suffered a lot today. He knew she had been physically and mentally exhausted by the ordeals lately. First, she had gone through the betrayal of her trusted aide. Then came Finn's resignation and Jon and Jericho's deaths, which led to the murder case. All these major events added a lot of stress to her. Even he might not be able to withstand the heavy weight of all these.Outsiders would just view the lady of the Norah family as high and mighty, but after all, she was just a girl in her twenties. Other girls at this age were probably still in university or busy falling in love. Many enjoyed their youth at this young age, while Sage was busy taking charge of her business and responsible for feeding thousands of people. Those who carry the crown must bear the weight. Sage had to bear the full responsibility to enjoy the family's glory. The family understood this.Jace hugged Sage

    They knew Carrington was quite crazy. They had seen how crazy she was in the police station the last time. The Norah family understood that Carrington had just lost her husband. She was probably grief-stricken and lost her mind at that moment. However, she had actually done something so unhinged as splashing blood at Sage in the street, which was simply insane!"Missus Maberry is certain that Sage is the murderer who killed her husband."Primrose frowned slightly. "But, what makes her so sure? Was it something Jericho said to her before he died?"Sean sat in the chair and said with a serious look. "I've read Carrington's statement. Her story is everywhere. There were all kinds of personal opinions included in her statement. Apparently, the couple had a fight over money before Jericho's death. Before Jericho died, he regretted the hundreds of millions he had made from the fake diamonds and wanted to pay back the Norah Group, but Carrington refused.""I've also read the children's

    Sage did not sleep well.In the dream, she was trapped in a large metal cage surrounded by a big crowd outside. Everyone was accusing her and cursing profanities, calling her insulting names.She wanted to speak up and refute them, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she found herself mute. She was full of grievance but unable to speak.The crowd threw rotten eggs at her and beat her up. Some even pelted her with stones until her head was bleeding.Why? She did not do anything wrong. How would they treat her like this?!Sage shuddered and opened her eyes. A tear in the corner of her eye almost trickled down her cheek, but she gently rubbed her face on the pillow and let the tear disappear.Sage sat up, thinking about the song Jace had sung to her while she was sleeping. The song that seemed to echo in her ears warmed her up.She lifted the blanket and got off the bed. Then, she went to the window and pulled open the curtains, allowing the sunset afterglow to shimmer into the ro

    Jace handed the peeled pear to Sage. Sage asked him, "Why didn't you cut it in half?"Jace shook his head. "We can eat together."He did not want to cut the pear. Sage agreed in her mind, so she put the pear in his mouth and let him take a bite. The couple ate the same pear.Tim looked away and played with the dog instead. He could not stand looking at the couple's display of affection.Sage answered Sawyer, "I won. It was a close one."Sawyer fell silent at her last two words. Primrose's first action was to snort. "When did you become so modest?" Then, her face changed after a sudden realization. "Is Finn's girlfriend that good?""Yeah. She's quite strong."Sage faintly looked up. "She claims to have a black belt and a lot of real combat experience. She's not just a black belt."Primrose fell silent after hearing that. No one knew better than her how powerful Sage was. She watched Sage train with her own eyes. When Sage was a child, she went through all the training and reache

    Primrose's mood turned into an emotional rollercoaster in just one minute. She first realized that the Kashmir sapphire ended up in another person's hand. Her second realization was that this person was none other than her own daughter.Primrose gave Sage a flattering smile. "Hey… Can you show me the sapphire? Let me have a look?"Tim, Nigel, and Sean all looked over at Primrose with shocked expressions. It was their first time seeing Primrose request in such a humble manner.The corner of Jace's mouth twitched. Jace only had one thought at the moment. 'If I can find another sapphire like that, I must buy it and give it to Primrose. No matter the cost, I won't hesitate!'He thought that if Primrose had her hands on the rare jewel, she might push Sage into his arms and give her blessings to them.Sage had already seen through her mother's real intention. She was well prepared for it. "There's nothing to see. It's just another sapphire. You've seen a lot of them.""If you say so,

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.

    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

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.

    "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.

    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.
