Wolves were spotted often in that forest; police assumed that the body had been taken away by the wolves. Since they had only managed to find some torn fabric along with some blood stains that had proven to be Sage's after the DNA test, they concluded their search.Leah could not and would not believe that. She almost flipped the whole forest inside out looking for Sage; she wanted to see the body with her own eyes, dead or alive.Leah's feet were filled with wounds and blisters. She eventually passed out in the forest due to a high fever from the infections that were festering in the wounds.Even though Sage's body was never found, her father and Uncle Braxton rushed to hold the funeral just so they could get a share of the assets that were left to Sage by Uncle William."I've given you the title of CEO already, and now you're trying to have the Rosa Garden all to yourself? You can't just take everything and not share. That's selfish!" Zane slammed the table as he exclaimed grudgi
Leah was stunned upon hearing all of that.She stared at Sage, wide-eyed. "So… Why haven't you…?""Why haven't I sent them to jail?"Sage predicted what Leah was going to say. The corner of her mouth curved into a cold smile. "They don't deserve a quick death. Torturing them before their eventual death should be the real agony, isn't it?"Leah stared blankly at Sage. She felt chills shoot through from the bottom of her feet all right to her heart, and down her spine."So… You've always known that your father wasn't the Norahs' biological son and that Yeva and I… aren't your biological cousins?"Sage looked up at Leah. "Is that really all that matters to that so-called family? Being blood-related?"Braxton and Zane were envious of my father and eventually killed him because they found out they weren't biological brothers. On the other hand, they've taken my father's inheritance in the name of being his brothers."Sage chuckled in disdain and continued, "They're the prime examp
Leah nodded shyly.After a pause, Leah asked in uncertainty, "So, about my father and Uncle Braxton…""Soon."Sage's eyes darkened. "They'll pay for what they’ve done. But before that, I still need to look for someone. That's within the family, and we'll settle that in the down low."There was no way that they would have it that easy.They had to suffer first.…Sean Chester really was an impressive lawyer.Lionel eventually caved. He had to use the money he got from Dean and Suki's liquidated damages to pay for the money he owed to his taxes, and got himself probation.Sage had also compromised on her side. Lionel was willing to let Dean and Suki go, and in return, Sage let his son, Brody off. Brody was bailed and returned to freedom.As for Missus Liam, she gave up and abandoned her husband. Once their son, Brody was bailed out of jail, she flew out of the country with him to wait for things to quiet down.Starship Entertainment had now lost two of its biggest artists at o
Yoel truly had the ability to jinx many things.Jace had been blocked by Sage on every platform, so he could not get a hold of her. Therefore, he decided to use the racecourse as an excuse and headed straight to Norah Group to look for her.The assistant by the front desk said to him, "Miss Norah has not been to the office in a while."Jace frowned and asked, "Where has she been?""I'm not so sure, either."All the assistants shook their heads. "Miss Norah's schedule has always been packed. Her schedule is handled by Mister Grant. We only have to obey orders."Jace finally got a hold of Hunter, but all he said to Jace was, "Mister Yuriel, Miss Norah has been really busy lately. Everything about the racecourse is now being handled by Mister Janssen. He'll get in touch with you soon."After things in Posie City had been settled, Sage sent Finn back from Posie City to handle the racecourse.After Zayne reported things to Jace, Finn appeared."Mister Yuriel, I'll be liaising with
The face seemed to change under different lighting. At a different angle, it looked like a queen wearing a crown, magnificent.Luther's eyes were glued onto the intricate ring as he exclaimed at Sage's impressing carving skill."As expected of the Jade Master, your skills are impeccable. Is there anything else that you can't do?""I'm alright." Sage blew the jade dust off of her fringe. "Just an almighty being."Luther chuckled and booped Sage's nose. "How cocky!"Luther was happy; it had been a while since he had seen his sister like that.There was a key-shaped pendant on the work table. In the middle of the pendant was a blood orange colored rose. Luther was able to recognize right away that those were the latest jewelry designs for Norah Jewelry."You carved it yourself this time. Are you also planning on showing off your Jade Master title?""Congratulations, you got it right."Sage took her carving apron off and packed the two pieces of work to Hunter who had been guardin
Sage slept from afternoon until the next morning.She woke up feeling refreshed and well-rested.It was the weekend. Leah had planned to stay home and do nothing, but Sage dragged her up to go shopping.Leah thought Sage was shopping for herself, but Sage was actually shopping for Leah."It's alright, Sage. I have plenty of clothes.""Those are all clothes with cartoon prints on it, what with Hi Kitty and Peggy Pig. It's fine if you're just wearing them at home, but what about when you eventually start working? And the pair of jeans you're wearing is fading as well, it's time for some new clothes."Previously, Sage was busy with work and did not have time for Leah. Now that she finally had time, she wanted to give her a complete makeover.Sage shoved a bunch of clothes onto Leah's hands. "Go try them on."Leah held onto the pile of clothes as she sent an SOS signal to Hunter who was standing aside.Hunter chuckled and snapped his finger sassily, saying, "Your cousin is right,
It would be hours before Sage and Leah were done with their hair makeover.Hunter might as well have taken a nap in the car while they were there.Leah looked at herself in the mirror as she was finished way earlier than Sage. She looked at her dark blonde hairstyle and murmured, "I wonder if Hunter likes my new look."Sage replied, "What matters is whether you like it, not him."It was said that women would dress up to please themselves.The most important thing for women to dress up was to please themselves. Who would care about whether others liked it or not?After going through everything in her life, Sage finally understood that people who loved her would love her for who she was. On the contrary, one could never force someone to love him/her no matter what if they were not interested in him/her.Sage would always put her happiness as the top priority."I love it," Leah replied as she laughed and nodded in satisfaction."That'll do," said Sage.Sage looked at her cousin
'Clothes make the man.'That saying was true.No one batted an eye at Leah because of her simple attire, but Sage immediately caught everyone's eye, especially the sales advisors' attention owing to her clothes worth a mansion.Even the wealthy customers were green with envy, and they began to think to themselves."Where did she get the jumpsuit? I looked for it everywhere!""Oh gosh, am I dreaming? Isn't that the limited edition Himalayan Birkeen Bag with diamond clasps from the auction that day?""Her aura is so strong as she walks, and that hair! Is she shooting a commercial? It's gorgeous! Every strand of her hair glows!""Please, I'll bow down to you!"The whole shop was silent.The sales advisor was not clever and observant. After being thrown at with a black card, she continued to yell, "Are you two trying to cause a scene? Security, drag these two out of the shop! What are you waiting for?"Men dressed in black appeared out of nowhere as the security guards approached
