"Of course this is my wedding!"Yeva made it clear that her wedding should only be about her. She said, "You have to come! How can you not come to my wedding? But, please, forget about Julian. He's my man now.""Well. I never liked him anyway." It was rare that Sage was in the mood to banter with Yeva. "Do you want me to go or not? My presence might even ruin your day,” said she.Yeva became alerted and uttered, "What are you playing at?""Nothing," Sage was feeling irritated having to stand in the sun and speak to her. "No one will bat an eye in your direction if I'm around. I don't want to be the one stealing your limelight."Yeva lost her tongue. Her heart ached a little from what Sage said. Indeed, Sage had always been the prettiest one among the three of them. She was always the center of attention wherever she went, and Yeva never stopped being jealous about it. She always lived under Sage’s shadow.Yeva gulped and yelled, "Just dress uglily!"Sage scoffed at such an abs
These fans of Dean must have waited for her to leave the hospital and followed her all the way to teach her a lesson. Sage felt a headache as she looked at the eggs and tomatoes on the windows of her car. Not only did they scold her on the internet, they had to do this, too. Were they not afraid of being caught by the cops?They should have waited it out for a few more days. Things would take a huge turn by then. However, they could not wait to seek justice on behalf of their Dean.Sage did let the news out herself. Hunter compressed his lips, and his head still ached from bumping on the glass. He said, “Miss Sage, why do I feel like somehow we did this to ourselves?” Sage uttered, “Shut up!” She turned to the driver and said, “Can we drive out of here?” The driver nearly hit someone as they came out of nowhere. He barely calmed down, “They’re too close to the car. It’s too dangerous to drive out now. We’ll get into trouble if they fake a road crash and ask us for compensation.
Jim turned to give her a comforting smile and uttered, “They won’t hurt me, I’m Dean’s brother after all.” He broke free of Sage’s hold and quickly closed the car door.As he got out of the car, he got hit by the eggs and tomatoes. The cold and slimy concoction ran down from his head and down to his cheeks and neck.He was unfazed though as he yelled, “Everyone, I’m Dean’s brother, listen to me—” The crowd went a little quieter as they heard he was Dean’s brother.Jim said loudly and clearly, “I understand you’re worried about my brother, but please think logically and don’t make assumptions before things are clear. Please don’t break the law! You’re only affecting my brother and putting pressure on him. You have to put trust in Miss Sage. She won’t treat my brother poorly.”Despite his speech, the agitated fans did not buy what he said. “Are you Dean’s brother? Why are you helping that capitalist evil woman? Did she pay you to say so? Go to hell! Dean doesn’t need a brother li
Jace was struck, and he felt like his brain was about to explode. He felt such an immense wave of pain that he blacked out.Jace leaned against Sage’s body and he did not regain his consciousness.Hunter was just beside Jace and saw the pebble hit the back of Jace’s head. The pebble almost broke his head and Hunter was startled. Hunter scowled at the protestors angrily, “Are you guys trying to kill him? Be prepared to be locked up in the cell for the rest of your lives!”'What do they think they're doing?'Then, as the crowd was stunned, a loud siren was heard from the back. Someone yelled among the crowd, “Run, the cops are here!”The annoying protestors fled all of a sudden. Some of them were surrounded and handcuffed by the cops. It was chaotic.Sage felt uneasy being held by Jace. She pushed him away lightly. When she turned her head, she met Jace’s eyes with somewhat confusion. He shook his head slowly as if to relieve the pain.“Are… you alright?” Sage asked as she compres
Jim did not answer Jace’s questions, but he added, “So, you’re the ex-husband, Jace.”Jace was dumbfounded. “Who you calling Jace?” Sage walked over in time and patted Jim’s back, “I’m not close to him,” and turned to Jace and said, “sorry, my kid is over-friendly with everyone.”Kid? Did she just refer to this young man as a kid?Jace looked at Sage’s usual unfazed eyes in contrast to this young man’s friendly attitude, he felt an ache in his heart and he looked down, “It’s not a big deal.”Silence filled the room. Zayne walked over and broke the awkward silence, “Mr. Jace, we have to leave now before it’s getting too late.”Hunter reminded Sage as well, “Miss Sage, we have to go too.” Jace huffed on his cigarette and let out a slight cough. Zayne immediately understood and looked at Sage with a smile, “Miss Sage, your car has been sent to the maintenance workshop, it’ll take some time to get fixed. We’ll be glad to send you back to the airport.”Sage kept quiet. Hunter observed
Jace suddenly opened his mouth, which shocked everyone in the car but Sage. She let out a frown. Jim tilted his head and looked at Jace.“I’m twenty years old.”‘Just twenty years old,’ thought Jace to himself. “You’re pretty young,” Jace said as he looked in Sage’s direction. Sage looked at him and felt mocked as if Jace deemed her relationship with Jim was unusual. Sage started fuming and as she was about to criticize Jace, Jim said calmly, “Not, I think maybe that made you feel old instead, Uncle Jace.”Sage held back her laughter. That was right, Jace was over thirty years old.Jace said lightly, unbothered by Jim’s remarks, “If you call me an uncle, you have to call that lady beside you an aunty. I was her husband, after all.”Sage was not worried about his mockery; she turned to him and yelled, “Uncle!”Jace was speechless. He looked at Sage and felt ridiculous. He was so angry that he laughed, asking, “What did you just call me?”“You’re an uncle, I’m calling you Uncle
"Jim has no interest in talking with you."With a straight face and a cold tone, Sage added, "Either you shut your mouth, or get down from the car."Jace finally stopped talking.Shortly after, they arrived at the airport. There were two private jets on a huge empty space, and Jace planned to board the same jet as Sage. However, Sage did not give him the chance. Bringing Jim along with him, Sage quickly boarded the plane and closed the door behind them.Staring at the door that was closed as he stood still, Jace was dumbfounded.Zayne took a glimpse at Jace and felt sorry for him."Mister Jace, there's something that I don't know if I should tell you."With a hardened expression, Jace replied, "Forget about it then."Jace thought that if Zayne hesitated whether he should tell, it was probably some bad news.Scratching the tip of his nose, Zayne felt fortunate that he bit his tongue and stopped himself from saying anything, otherwise he would end up being sent transferred to th
Salem City's airport was crowded with reporters and fans.Some confused passersby asked in confusion, "What's with the big crowd? Is it a top star? Are they shooting a movie here? But I don't see anyone from the production team."After asking around, they got to know that the fans were here to demand an answer and explanation from Sage, the CEO of Norah Entertainment, who changed Dean's role in a movie. A passerby shook his head and murmured, "These people really have got nothing else better to do."Dean's fans were able to get their hands on Sage's schedule. They found that her private jet would arrive at Salem City today, hence they waited at the airport the first thing in the morning. They looked as if they were determined to get an explanation from Sage today.Some of the fans got frustrated and impatient. "She should be here any time now, but where is she? Could it be that she got away?""Impossible! We have people blocking all of the exits. There’s no way that she could ge
