Bam!A solid punch landed on Zane's face. He was struck that the flesh on his cheeks trembled violently.Zane felt that his teeth were loose. He felt that everything in front of his eyes was black, and he was in so much pain that he could not recover for a long time.Hunter shook his hands and smiled wickedly, "How does it feel, Zane?""You brat! How dare you treat your future father-in-law like this…"Zane stared at Hunter with blurry vision and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Don't think that I don't know you've had your eyes on my daughter. Aren't you afraid that I would disagree with you and Leah's marriage?"Hunter sneered. "Leah doesn't even acknowledge you as her father. Why should I acknowledge you as her father then? Besides, Leah is already an adult now, and Miss Sage has custody of her. Does it matter whether you agree or not?""You son of a b*tch—"Zane wanted to cuss him out, but Hunter gave him another violent punch again.Hunter said coldly, "These two punches ar
"Because of me, the jewel series named 'Forever and Always' could not launch smoothly. The market trend is unpredictable. After being delayed for nearly a month, Norah Jewel had already beaten us to the punch and successfully launched their product."Jace said, "If it went according to our original plan for the project, you should know very well that regardless of design or innovation, our product doesn't have any competitive advantage. If we were to carry on with it, I'm afraid the results would not be too good as well."Simon's expression darkened. "Didn't you look for Mister Wayne to collaborate with him? The Jade Master refused to collaborate with you, but what about Mister Wayne? Did he also refuse?""Mister Wayne has yet to give me a clear answer."Simon snorted and replied, "Nonsense. You've hurt his granddaughter to such an extent. If I were Wayne, and you wanted me to collaborate with you, dream on! Wayne has always been protective of his family, and he also loves his prec
It should have been an extremely ordinary thing for a son to be giving a massage to his mother, who had two crippled legs. However, such an image of a son caring for his loving mother was too rare for Freya and Jace.They seemed to have already forgotten the last time both the mother and son could converse with each other calmly. It felt like it was ages ago.Freya was a little embarrassed. She was afraid her son's knee would hurt from kneeling, and she wanted to stop him from massaging her.However, Freya's personal butler, Aunt Wendy, perceptively brought in a round stool. "Jace, the floor is cold. Sit on this. Miss Freya's legs need to be properly massaged."After that, she even winked at Freya before she went out.Freya thought, 'This woman…'Jace sat on the stool and massaged his mother's legs with the utmost attention. "I will accompany you to the hospital tomorrow for a follow-up checkup."Freya rejected him without a second thought. "There's no need for that. They won't
Jace thought that he had already held onto them, but he did not realize that the ones that he held onto did not love him. He, however, had lost the one that truly loved him. Freya explained slowly, "I was unwilling to admit it in the past. I was unwilling to admit my failure. I also was unwilling to admit that I was a loser in terms of relationships. In the end, it was just because I was unwilling to admit defeat that Lucas and I tormented each other for ten years. Now, I'm admitting it. I've lost. However, I did not lose to Luna. Instead, I've lost to myself."She looked toward Jace and asked, "My son, do you know why I was so against you and Sage getting a divorce back then? Firstly, it was because I knew that Sienna and her aunt, Luna, were the same. They're bad news. Secondly, I was afraid that Sage would walk in my footsteps and waste her life on an unworthy marriage and a man who did not love her."Jace's eyes wavered a little, and he looked emotional. A smile gradually app
The night was dark, and the rainstorm washed away the bloodstains in the courtyard. The entire Jefferson's Residence was packed with men in black. With almost one man standing guard every three steps, the whole residence, which was not so big, was heavily surrounded. Wilson buttoned his shirt as he pounded on the door. "Julian, get out here!"Julian was in the midst of playing with Queenie. He had already prepared all sorts of tools and planned on trying something new.Once he heard his father knocking on the door, he was so frightened that he immediately went limp. He frantically hid the things under the covers and answered, "What's the matter, dad? We're already in bed.""Stop with the nonsense. Quickly get yourself out here now! Something happened!"Queenie felt that something was not right when she heard him. She hurriedly changed out of her sailor costume and put on some clothes. She also urged Julian to quickly go out to take a look. "Could it be Yeva making trouble again
Missus Jefferson was extremely frightened when she saw that the house was packed with men in black."What's going on? Who told you to barge in? You're trespassing. We can call the police! Somebody! Where are the guards? Hurry up and drive these people out! Her shrill voice echoed in the residence, but nobody answered her. The atmosphere became awkward again. After a long while, Hunter spoke and broke the awkwardness."Please excuse us for visiting so late at night. Miss Sage's purpose for coming here is very simple. We heard that Miss Yeva has been detained and locked up, so we've made a trip here to bring her back. This is so that she won't continue to live in the Jefferson's Residence and inconvenience everyone."When the Jefferson family heard those words, they all turned to look at Sage. However, it was unexpected that Sage used her hand to support her head and had actually fallen asleep again.She did not take them seriously at all!Missus Jefferson was infuriated. Just a
Lightning flashed across the sky and illuminated the deep blue night sky.The loud thunderclap gave Yeva such a fright that she shuddered.Everything in the Jefferson's Residence was great, but the attic was leaking! The attic was already humid and stuffy, to begin with. Once it poured, it was even more insufferable.Yeva wanted to move toward the wall to hide a little, but both her hands were tied up with ropes. Her ankles were also tied up with a chain used to leash dogs, so it was especially short. As a result, she was unable to move at all.The Jefferson family felt that she was noisy, so they stuffed a rag that had been used to wipe down unknown things, so she had a weird taste in her mouth.Even if she wanted to scream, she could not. It was only when she was given food that they untied her.In a few short days, Yeva's eyes were long swollen from crying, and she looked just like a sad frog. She had lived for more than 20 years, but within her life, she had never suffered
Yeva's throat was dry. For a moment, she was unable to produce any sound. After a long time, she called out with a hoarse voice, "Sage…"The way she cried was packed with emotions. She was covered in tears as well. Even Hunter, who was next to her, was stunned as he stared at Yeva.Was it because she had been through enough hardships outside that she became sensible?Did she know how to respectfully address others?Sage was not as emotional as Yeva. She also did not let Hunter untie Yeva immediately. Instead, she simply stood there and calmly asked her, "Do you want to leave with me?"Almost without any hesitation, Yeva nodded like crazy. "Yes, yes!"Sage replied, "You have to think it through. If you leave with me, Julian will not want you anymore. Whether you want to keep the child in your belly or not is entirely up to you, but from now on, you will no longer have any relationship with the Jefferson family. The position of Julian's wife will no longer be yours as well."When
