It was just as she said.‘My life has been smooth sailing for more than twenty years. My parents shower me with love, and my brothers are very protective of me. I’ve never suffered until now… You… You’re the biggest storm in my life."Jace suddenly felt a heavy feeling in the chest. It felt as if a big hand clenched his heart, making him gasp in pain. He could barely stand steadily, so he sat down again.It hurt as if someone had hit his head like he was in the boxing ring. He sat on the bench for a long time before he gradually recovered from his dizziness.Two nurses who happened to pass by noticed his pale face. They approached him and asked, "Mister, are you okay? Do you feel uncomfortable? Do you need the doctor’s help?""No need. Thanks."Jace declined politely and stood up slowly to leave.The two nurses stared at his back as he left. One of the nurses said, "He seems lost and pale. Does he have a terminal illness?""He’s still young. How can that be? He looked like he w
Sage had not seen her in a long time, since Sienna was treated as a psychopath and was taken away from the Annual Rose Festival.Tim and Luther asked if she needed help to teach Sienna a lesson, but she declined politely and said, "No need."Seth and Nigel hated her. However, Sienna was only eyeing Jace. Jace was no good anymore, so there was no need to bother him. As for Sienna, she did not care as long as she did not bother her. She was sure that Sienna would be taught a lesson sooner or later.Sage never wanted to get into trouble with another woman. Unfortunately, a certain woman could not win over her man, so she could only seek trouble with her rival. Just as Sienna was about to lean on Jace, he dodged her hurriedly. He did not even look at Sienna and turned to Sage with a hint of panic in his usually calm eyes.He was afraid that Sage might misunderstand him. His disgusted and nervous look came into Sienna’s sight. When she saw Sage, her bright smile turned gloomy.Why wa
Surprisingly, Yoel was still around and did not leave. He swirled the wine glass in his hand and kindly asked her."Are you looking for Jace?" Sienna knew Yoel was a good friend of Jace. Yoel was a handsome man and came from a good family. Naturally, she would be more than willing to gain his favor. Sienna raised her hand to tuck her hair behind her ear and answered with a gentle hum. Then, she asked, "Yoel, do you know where Jace went?""I do." Yoel raised his beautiful eyes wickedly and provoked her, "Of course, he went somewhere far away from you, so you won't be able to ruin him.""You…" Sienna looked annoyed. Yoel put his index finger on his lips and hushed her. "Shh, don’t be so loud in public. Aren’t you from a prestigious family? Didn’t anyone teach you manners? It’s okay if you embarrass yourself, but don’t drag others in, okay?"He was insinuating that she was uneducated and had no manners. Sienna was so angry that she raised her hand. She wanted to slap Yoel, but h
Luna spoke to Sienna in a condescending tone again. Sienna did not like listening to it very much.Sienna muttered softly, "I don’t have as much perseverance as you. You have been pursuing the same man for so many years, but it’s a fruitless pursuit. Luna, you deserve better. Why are you so stubborn?" It had been so many years. Sienna could not understand why her aunt held on to Lucas.Luna scowled at her. "What do you know?""Chasing a man isn’t about the years of effort. Instead, it’s about what you can gain from him over the years. Lucas didn’t come from a strong background, but he was the Yuriel family’s son-in-law in his younger days. That laid a solid foundation for him, allowing his career to prosper. Now, he is the Chief.""He’s an ambitious man, but I’m more than willing to be his lover and stay by his side. Now, I’m the most popular host on the Universal Channel."Having said that, Luna snorted softly, "If it isn’t for me, how can you gain a footing in Universal Channe
"Wine tasting is just like taste in women. When I was young, I liked pure and innocent girls. Now, I like hot and strong women with personality. The hotter, the better." Jace did not bother to reply to Yoel’s absurdity. He ordered some wine that tasted good and moved to the next area.When he turned around, he did not expect to see Lucas and Luna together. He looked slightly startled to see his father and froze. Lucas was not surprised to see Jace because Luna had told him beforehand. He greeted him with a gentle expression, "Are you here with friends?"Jace pursed his lips and remained silent. His gaze fixed on Luna’s arm on Lucas. Luna ignored his gaze and tightened her grip on Lucas’s arm. She clung tightly to Lucas with her soft body and greeted Jace with a smile."Jace, what a coincidence. Hello." Jace frowned slightly. Luna’s tone of voice, demeanor, and appearance were so similar to Sienna's. No. Rather, Luna had taught Sienna well. Sienna was almost a perfect replica
Yoel was startled and retracted his hand. He smiled, "Don’t try to fool me. I am pretty sure he was calling you beautiful and asking you to be his translator."Sage narrowed her eyes and glanced at him. Seeing that, he proudly said, "I’m sorry. I happen to know the language a little bit."As soon as he said that, Sage patted his shoulder hard and turned to speak a few words with the sommelier. Most did not understand their conversation, except for Jace and Nigel, who smiled in unison.The former smiled because he understood the language, and the latter… Nigel knew Sage very well.She must be recommending Yoel to the sommelier. Since Yoel understood the Italian language, he should go and help.Yoel’s face turned sour. "Are you serious?"The sommelier looked at Yoel and invited him friendlily, "Mister, sorry for troubling you." Yoel fell silent. He wanted to show off in front of Sage, but he did not expect to get himself into trouble. Yoel refused to give up and leaned closer t
As thoughts flashed through her mind like lightning bolts, Lucas nodded to her in the air and smiled softly.Sage was very close to her former mother-in-law, Freya. Lucas was her former father-in-law, but Sage was not close to him. Moreover, she had no good feelings for him because of his affairs.She did not even bother to speak to her ex-husband anymore, let alone her ex-husband’s father. Sage regarded Lucas as a stranger and quickly withdrew her gaze. Lucas did not mind her indifference. Then, he turned his gaze to his son. He understood something after seeing Jace sitting next to Sage and leaning close to her.Jace might be divorced, but he still had lingering feelings for Sage. Luna was very dissatisfied with Sage’s indifference. She approached Lucas and whispered, "Is Miss Norah so ignorant? Did she forget you, her father-in-law? Why is she ignoring you?"Luna’s voice was still sweet and lovely even at the age of forty. She was famous for her sweet voice on the Universal
Sienna sat directly opposite Sage. She looked at Sage with Jace on her left and Nigel on her right. Meanwhile, Yoel was in front of her. Sienna was so jealous of Sage because of the three men that flocked to her.Things changed drastically after Sage’s divorce. The bumpkin became prettier and also learned to seduce men!Sienna was very unhappy. She took a sip of red wine and made an unpleasant look of disgust. "This tastes average. It’s far from the wine I drank at Chateau de Paris."When she went to Paris, a rich foreigner took her there. As compared to the taste of red wine, what impressed her was his skills when they were in the wine cellar…All the gorgeous red wine was poured on her, dyeing her white dress red. Then, he leaned into her like a wolf and sucked the wine dry bit by bit. Sienna blushed as she recalled that passionate memory of the past. Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in her thigh. Luna pinched her secretly.She came back to her senses and felt aggrieved. "Luna
