Uh…Sage chuckled and said, "My father…was pretty straightforward, huh?"Wayne responded, "Not just that, he was a thoughtless boy. At that time, I thought the boy would grow up to be successful, seeing as how odd he was, so I brought him home with me. I told your uncles that he was my son from another woman and had them treat him like their own big brother, and they did. Who knew that they'd bully him behind my back. However, your father was not someone that would tolerate bullies. He fought back and won."Sage said straightforwardly, "But they held grudges against him."Just like Yeva did.All Yeva had in her heart were grudges throughout the year.Wayne said calmly, "Yeah… not long after your father moved in, I started teaching Braxton and Zane carving. Both of them didn't like how it hurt their hands and never took it seriously. Your father, on the other hand, came to me by himself and told me he wanted to learn. I gave him a piece of white jade and a carving knife, and he st
"I'm begging you!""Tragic!""FML!""You guys are trying to kill me so you could take over my title of Miss Jerffeson!"…"I'm going to kill someone!"Both of Yeva's front teeth had fallen. She finally got it filled, but she was still speaking with a slight lisp, which was why she refused to talk too loudly. Her stomach had been so painful from the repressed anger.Never mind the fact that she became a laughingstock all over the internet; what pissed her off the most was how Julian brought Queenie back to the Jefferson's Residence right after the wedding, just so he could take care of her.On top of that, Wilson Jefferson and his wife agreed to it as well!They even asked for Yeva to be nicer to Queenie, promising that they would only keep the child when it was born.Which meant that Yeva had not even gotten the newly-wed wealthy madam treatment before she became a stepmother!How atrocious!Braxton also agreed that they went overboard. He wanted to talk some sense into the
It had been a few days since Wayne stayed in Rosa Garden. In the end, he still wanted to leave."I'm really not used to staying in a big house, nor do I enjoy being taken care of by other people. I prefer staying alone. Come on, Sage, please let me leave." Wayne really tried hard to pursue his eldest granddaughter by talking like a little child asking for candy.As Hunter and Leah heard Wayne asking to leave again, none of them responded at the dinner table. Both of them look at Sage.This time around, Sage did not reject Wayne's request directly. "It's alright if you don't want to stay in Rosa Garden. I bought a small house near Pheonix Vintage Market. Once it is ready, you can stay there."'Pheonix Vintage Market!' Wayne's eyes widened. The suggestion hit his sweet spot, and it was exactly where he was planning to move in to."That… works too." Wayne did not reject it. "But I need to go to Nadeem City soon. I have set an appointment with an old pal that I had not met for a long
Sage narrowed her eyes. "Are you two dating now?"Leah and Hunter were stunned and looked up at the same time!…"I'd checked, and Mister Wayne is living in Rosa Garden now," Yoel told Jace the latest information he received. After that, he took a puff from his cigarettes and continued, "Hey, do you think you need to reconsider it over again?"Jace had been pulling the all-nighter last night. There was a ring of black circles under his eyes. He, too, was smoking to re-energize. He looked at Yoel through the smoke and said with a hoarse voice, "Reconsider what?""That you are going to invite Grandpa Wayne to help Yuriel Jewel. Do you really think Sage will agree with it?"Jace was Yoel's brother from a different mother, so he did not want to see Jace pass away at such a young age. Yoel tried to talk Jace out of it. "You should know how much Sage protects her family. She would just ignore you if you tried to set her up. However, if you try to trick her grandpa, she will definitely
Jace looked at Wayne's energetic face and clear and illuminating eyes. He spoke very slowly, "Yuriel, Jace Yuriel."He did not have the intention to hide his true identity. He was there for a purpose, and eventually, he would have to tell Wayne about his identity, so hiding it did not make sense.Upon hearing the last name, Wayne slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "You are Simon Yuriel's grandson?"Jace nodded his head and answered, "Yes. To be exact, his daughter's son."Wayne raised his eyebrow and confirmed, "Freya's son?""Yes." Jace replied, "Freya Yuriel is my mother."The brightness in Wayne's eye increased and he smiled. "No wonder you look so familiar. Your eyebrows and eyes are almost identical to your mother and grandfather. As if it was directly copied and pasted onto your face."Jace also smiled and said, "I only knew about your relationship with my teacher and my grandfather when I called him. The Three Musketeers of Peach Garden, am I right?"Wayne laughed out lo
"Jace, please excuse me for a moment. I have some family matters to attend to." With that said, Wayne picked up a long wooden stick from the corner. He tried it on his hand and walked out of the workshop.Jace frowned, and no one could tell what he was thinking just by looking at his face.…At the CEO's office, Sage officially took over the position of chairman of the board soon after she kicked Braxton out. However, since she had just started, the Chairman's office had to be renovated so she could only work from the CEO's office.It was a sight to see the forever busy Hunter stay in the CEO's office for a long time without going out. The employees in the office started to speculate what could be the reason for that."Hunter had gone in for a long time, and he has not even come out once. Could there be another tricky project? Come on, please, I have only rested for two days."Louis was holding a pen with his right hand and a dumbbell with his left hand. He said without raising h
By the time Sage, Leah and Hunter arrived at the hospital, Wayne was already in the operating theater. Both Zamora and Mister Wando waited outside. When they saw Sage and Leah, they greeted them in a hurry, "Miss Sage, Miss Leah.""What's Grandpa's situation?" Sage and Leah asked at the same time.Zamora felt very guilty and said, "Mister Braxton pushed him, and he fainted after that. The doctor said he suffers from a cerebral hemorrhage…"Leah covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes reddened. Hunter immediately hugged her and comforted her, "Don't worry, Grandpa will definitely get through and be better. We can pray for him."Sage's face was dark as she asked, "So Braxton laid his hand on Grandpa?""It's my fault. I shouldn't have let him in…" Mister Wando blamed himself for what happened.Zamora regretted it as they had never thought Braxton would be so daring to hurt Wayne, his own father. It was so outrageous.As soon as Braxton entered Rosa Garden, he kept on scolding
After that, the doctor gave some advice since Wayne was already in his senior years, and his blood vessels were brittle. He would need to avoid overeating, avoid experiencing dramatic changes in his emotions, and lastly, he was not allowed to get mad. Sage and the rest of the people listened carefully and nodded to show they understood."Grandpa…"After the surgery, Wayne was still very weak. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Sage, who was sitting beside his bed. His lips trembled, "It's a tragedy for our family, for me to have such as… a son…" Leah cried out loud, "Grandpa!"Sage held Wayne's hand and showed him a smile to comfort him. "Grandpa, don't worry. I'm here. No one can hurt you."After putting Wayne to sleep, the smile on her face disappeared immediately once she was out of the ward."Where is Braxton?"Hunter answered, "He is still in the hospital. He suffered quite a serious injury after being kicked by Mister Jace. His old wound has not healed yet, and now his tai
