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

    Sage turned to Leah, ignoring him, and said, "Leah, do you still want that bracelet?"Leah shook her head. She wanted to get it for Sage, but who would have imagined what happened there?Aside from Leah blacklisting that shop, Sage would not accept the bracelet either."She doesn't want it anymore," Sage replied with a cold tone and an even colder expression.She was unwilling to let it go.Adrian James had a tingling sensation on the scalp as he diverted all his anger to the manager and the sales advisor. He scolded and swore at them as everyone heard him through the speaker.The manager was sweating profusely as he lowered his head while his sister-in-law stuck her head high, looking displeased."Two of you, leave immediately. I don't want to see you in my store anymore!"The manager knew they must have offended some bigwigs as their boss licked their boots.He dragged his sister-in-law and said, "What are you waiting for? Go! You've caused huge trouble!"The sales advisor

    Some social news made the headlines of the Salem Newspaper.The Deputy Chief of the police department was suspended due to the ongoing investigation of the accused crime of embezzlement, bribery, and corruption.As for the arrogant sales advisor, she finally realized the magnitude of her mistake. She stayed home crying and regretting her actions.Sage bit the bullet and expanded Norah Jewelry in major cities rapidly. She successfully put Norah Jewelry's name back where it belonged—including Adrian James' store.Norah Jewelry's billboard could be seen in major department stores in Nadeem City. Jace Yuriel got hold of the news at the Yuriel Jewelry management conference.The Forever and Always line of jewelry from the Yuriel Group was boycotted by netizens because of Jace's divorce, and it was put on hold. It caused a dent in their financial performance.Upon seeing Norah Jewelry's return to the market and the success of their new collections, the Yuriel Group felt threatened.It

    "Mutual collaboration? That Turf Club project was just a ruse by the Norah Group. They're waiting for us to fall into their trap. The new chairman is extremely cunning and smart—not at all like Braxton and Zane Norah."Jace narrowed his brows and looked up. He glared at the marketing director opposite him.The marketing director was halfway into his speech and was prepared to elaborate his opinion on Sage when he felt a chilly breeze. It was Jace glaring at him.Did he say something wrong? What did he say?The head of the design department continued, "Mister Yuriel, it's always good to have competition around. Our sales are declining, and we're lacking innovation. Norah Jewelry's new designs have inspired our designers. It's a good thing for them.Jace nodded agreeably. "Continue.""I'm classmates with Ada—the head of design at Norah Jewelry. I got to know from her that their new product samples were designed by Jade Master. That's a great gimmick. If the 'Always and Forever' lin

    Sage was adamant about her intention. They could never afford her fees.Ada felt apologetic as she could not move forward with the collaboration between Norah and Yuriel Group. She could not expose Sage's identity as Jade Master, so she made up an excuse about Jade Master unable to fit Yuriel Jewelry into her schedule.On the other hand, Sage could not care less about Yuriel Jewelry. She furrowed her brows as she focused on the commercial shoot's monitor.The director's expression looked solemn as well."What is going on with the two of them? They did well separately, but when they're together, it looks awkward."Sage noticed the same thing. She looked in Seth and Suki's direction.Both of them each carried a different product.Seth wore a necklace charm named 'Key to my Heart'. He looked dashingly handsome with a white shirt on. The collar was wide open, and his chest muscles were on display. The women on the side had to fan themselves with their hands as their faces turned bri

    Seth shook his head. "It had nothing to do with you. She said she didn't deserve me and didn't want me to disrupt my career for her."Sage immediately understood. "Seth, I understand where Suki's coming from even though we've only met a few times. Although she's powerful in her career, I can feel that she's frail when it comes to relationships."Sage continued, "I mean, she puts on a strong suit when working, but she's easily insecure when it comes to her relationships. She hopes to be loved like a princess."Seth nodded in agreement. "You're right. Suki is exactly like what you said.""Do you know what she wants from you?""To feel secure?" Seth guessed.Sage shook her head. "Secure is a general term. Of course, she feels insecure being brought up in a family like that, but she had to make herself feel secure. You can't do anything about it."Seth smiled as he paid attention to Sage's analysis. "Yes, you're a Stanfort post-graduate majoring in psychology. Please enlighten me."

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

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.

    "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.

    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
