Grandma Yuriel smiled gracefully as she clapped her hands."Happy birthday, Sage. I wish you happiness always."Sage replied with teary eyes, "Thank you, Grandma. Please stay healthy as always."Grandpa Yuriel came closer to the screen and said, "Hi Sage, I can finally enjoy some cake thanks to your birthday. I don't get to have cake very often. Happy birthday, sweetheart."Sage laughed in response, "Don't have too much! Take care of yourself, Grandpa. You have to control your diabetic level."Freya sat in the wheelchair. She had a blanket embroidered by Sage even though the weather was hot. Her facial expressions were warm and smiley. "Happy birthday, my dear.""Thank you, Freya. I received your precious gift. Why'd you give something so precious to me?"Freya smiled in return as she said, "Silly dear, it's for you. I'd keep everything for you if you like them."Zachary created a group chat titled 'Without Jace'. Everyone from the Yuriel family was in there except for Jace. Th
"The whiskey wasn't from the kidnappers? Who were they from?"Jace replied, "They were gifted by Sage."Yoel's eyes widened. "Sage?"Jace gulped down half a glass and looked up. He visualized Sage's bright smile. Years ago, when they saved her from the kidnappers, her family came and took her immediately. Jace carried her to the car. She smiled with her filthy face and asked, "How do I repay you for saving me?""No need. It's our duty," Jace replied.Sage was persistent. "No, I have to. What do you need most right now?"Jace thought for a moment and answered, "We need liquor."Afterwards, they found a whole carton filled with whiskey as they cleaned up the place. Back then, he knew that Sage had sent it to them, but he never told anyone about it.That was why Yoel did not know. His eyes were filled with jealousy.“Hey, we were on that mission together. I was considered one of her saviors, too. Why did she only repay you? Just because you were the one who carried her out?"Y
Nigel never had the heart to hit her. Even if he did, he could never beat Sage in a fight.They stopped playing around after a while. Sage was with Nigel at her parents' shrine. Nigel stood up from the chair and stared at Sage intently, caressing her head."Are you afraid of living in Rosa Garden all by yourself?" asked Nigel.Sage shook her head. "Nope, we have many employees around here. I've got Leah with me now."Nigel had a faint impression of Leah. "Zane’s daughter?"Sage nodded. "Yeah, her.""What about the evil moron?" asked Nigel. Sage replied, "That's Yeva, Braxton's daughter.""Oh, yes. Yeva. I heard she's got quite a blabbermouth. We've invented some new drugs made specifically to mute noisy insects. It'll work on humans too. Do you want some?""… I don't think so. Thank you," Sage replied as she thought about how Nigel had turned rogue ever since he got together with Sean."Yeva's getting married soon. She'll get it from the Jeffersons once she's officially part
Jace's dark eyes stared straight at Yoel, and his lips were compressed tightly.Where did Yoel’s confidence come from?Jace anticipated Sage's reply. Yoel turned on the speaker, and Finn's phone was on the marble stone table. Sage's icy tone was heard from the speaker."I can't. I'm busy. Finn, please tend to Mister Fulton’s and Mister Yuriel's needs."Yoel blinked his eyes with disbelief."How did you know I had the speakerphone on?" Finn looked at Yoel helplessly. If it was not for his strategic ideas and input for the turf club project, Finn would have taken Yoel as a moron.No one could hide anything from Sage Norah.Yoel leaned back against the chair as he hung up. He looked rather disappointedly at Jace and said, "It's too bad that Sagey can't come. She looks so good going up on a horse. I'm sure she rides pretty well, too." Jace took a sip of coffee and looked up at Yoel. "Sagey? When did you get so close to her?"Yoel was speechless.Though she said she would not g
Jim was brought to a private jet at the airport."Jim!"Sage stood behind him as he turned around. Sage had the whole medical team standing behind her."You guys, go ahead," Sage said to them as Hunter arranged for the medical team to board the plane.Jim worriedly said, "Miss Sage, my brother…" "I know. We have the best medical team with us. He's going to be fine. Don't worry."Jim felt less flustered after hearing her comforting words. His thoughts were clearer, and he nodded.Sage looked at him. He wore a white shirt with black pants, and he brought nothing else except a black backpack."That's all you brought?"Sage thought that it was common for guys to travel light. However, she patted his shoulder and added, "We might stay in Ark Town for a few days, but that's alright. We can just buy whatever we need."Sage did not have time to pack anything as well. She only got a few cosmetics and skincare items from the duty-free store.Just a few basic necessities as a woman.
Sage took off her watch and earrings and warned Dean, "You've got to heal completely before you start working again. You're nothing without your health."Both brothers blinked as they watched Sage walk away. Jim looked innocent and dismayed."Hey Dean, did I mishear, or did it seem like Sage was going to operate on you?"Dean's brows frowned slightly. "I heard that too."Both brothers were confused with their heads full of questions. They must have gotten it wrong.Dean changed into a patient's uniform, and he was wheeled to the theatre. Jim followed closely as he saw a female doctor walking over with a mask and gloves on, and she wore light green operation scrubs.Sage asked calmly, "Are you ready?"Both Dean and Jim were speechless. Both of them widened their eyes and could not believe that it was Sage in surgery attire.Could their eyes have problems too?"Miss Sage," Jim called out her name, "Are you… My brother's surgeon?"Sage lifted her eyelids. "Yes. Don't you trust m
Jim saw Sage's face, and he asked what had happened. He could sense that it was related to his brother.Sage told him not to bother with it and ordered him to watch Dean closely. She then went off to the production house with Hillary and Hunter. Jim felt helpless as he could not be of any help when something serious had happened.He was still a child in Sage's eyes.Sage got hold of the truth behind Dean's fall after investigations done by Hunter and Hillary.Dean was in the midst of filming a movie titled 'Ocean Deluna' directed by Lincoln, the talented director. It was a combination of multiple genres, including action, royalty, suspense, and romance.It was set in the Renaissance era when King Adam succeeded the throne, and both of his uncles, Federico and Geoffry, plotted to supersede his throne.Federico instructed his adopted son, Erik, to join the Royal Guards and eventually kill the king as one of his first guards. The crew chose Ark Mountains to shoot the guards-in-train
Jaxon tried controlling his facial expressions. He rolled on the muddy ground countless times, holding a sword, and finally passed after getting stuck twice.The actors had their assistants waiting on the side, and once they were done with the scene, they handed over warm water and towels to the actors. Jaxon passed them to the senior actor who played Federico. They chatted happily, and they seemed peaceful.Jaxon seemed like a gentleman and not at all like a devious person.Sage blinked her eyes. When the scene ended, she went to the back and greeted Lincoln. Jaxon was chatting with a veteran actor and spoke about the hardship of being an actor.His manager walked over and hinted at Sage's arrival. "The executive producer came. She's sitting beside the director."Jaxon looked up and saw a pretty woman sitting next to the director, looking young and beautiful. She wore a black and white suit, looking professional and slick.Lincoln was publicly known as a charismatic person, but
