Zane lay prostrate on the ground and said with difficulty, "I indeed have been… slightly b-busy recently."

"I know. You're busy sending your girlfriend abroad to appease her so that you'd be inseparable from her."

Sage sighed, "Young girls nowadays are very smart. If you can't provide a certain level of benefits, she could just kick you away in a jiffy and find herself another man. Are you addicted to being cheated on?

"You left your own daughter behind and did not care nor love her, but you helped another man raise his son. Now, you've found yourself another girl who's about your daughter's age. You're significantly older than her, but you still got together with her. Aren't you afraid that you'll be punished?

"That makes sense, too. Once a person has gotten a taste of being an animal, they wouldn't want to be human anymore."

Sage rubbed her palms together. She did not hide her sarcasm and contempt for her Uncle Zane in the slightest.

Zane bit his lip and lost his tongue.

    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

Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and

    The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. Ah…"Sage squinted as she saw the terrible dark circles under her eyes. She turned around in anger and bumped Jace's head.Jace was caught off guard and felt dizzy from the impact. He rubbed his head. "Dear, aren't you hurting yourself by doing this…""Look at my dark circles. They're so ugly. How am I supposed to take pictures? Sage complained in anger.Jace squinted and rubbed his eyes. "Let me see. What's ugly?"He held Sage's face and observed it. "What's ugly? It's not ugly. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and

    Jace made Sage stay up all night. Sage was so sleepy that her eyes were closing."Sleep. I'll wake you up later."Jace leaned down and kissed her forehead. As he closed his eyes, he remembered something and sat up sharply."By the way, we have to wear white shirts for tomorrow's photo session. We haven't prepared the shirt…"Jace rolled over and jumped off the bed right after saying that. Sage could not stop him in time, so she turned on the lamp helplessly. She leaned over the bed and waited for Jace in silence.Shortly after, Jace came back with two shirts. His eyes were shining. "Dear, you've prepared for us?""Yeah." Sage nodded weakly. "I've got them ready. I've had Zamora iron them for me."Jace could finally put his mind at ease. "What about the documents and identifications…"Sage pulled open the drawer of the bedside table and took out the papers and documents she had prepared ahead. "It's all here."Sage looked at Jace. "Everything is ready. You've checked three time

    Sage spread out the notebook and looked at the blurred handwriting. She slowly read it out loud, "Step one, conquer her with sweet talking. Use sweeter and flirtatious words that would make people blush. Forget about modesty and shame in bed. It's best to whisper them into her ears…"Sage read the notes with a straight face, making Jace so embarrassed that he could hardly keep his feet on the ground.Jace strode forward with a stiff face and tried to snatch the notebook away. Sage was quick to dodge and continued reading with her head down."Step two, be aggressive at your offense. Focus and remember this, being rough yet gentle. You can use props such as blindfolds, ties, handcuffs, and so on…"Sage's face turned red while reading it. As the images popped into her mind, she had to stop reading.Jace was about to go crazy. He buried his face in his hands, unable to look up at Sage."Where did you learn all these?" Sage threw the notebook at Jace. "Rough yet gentle? Are you seriou

Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep.

    "Is that so?" A trace of interest flashed in Jace's eyes.Sage did not understand, so she asked, "What does a small forward do?"Jace explained, "The small forwards are typically the tallest and most athletic of all players. They are responsible for scoring points and defending. The main goal of strong shooters is to score and create opportunities for teammates. In other cases, they would operate as off-ball specialists. They would wait for teammates to pass the ball, catch the ball, and shoot to score."Seeing Sage's confused look, Jace added, "James and Durant, for example, are playing as small forwards.""Oh!" Sage immediately understood after hearing the name of these famous basketball stars. Her eyes lit up. "Isn't that amazing?"Jace saw the sparkle in her eyes and found her really adorable.

    Jace muffled his laughs and relaxed in the night light. He said, "I have to work harder, or someone will call me old.""Hey." Sage knew he would get back at her.She rolled over and lay on top of Jace. She played with his chest and said in a muffled voice, "I have a new nickname for you."Jace responded, "Hm?"Sage looked up at him. "Vengeance."Jace was stunned and soon broke into a peal of laughter. Sage leaned on him and felt the rise and fall of his breathing. As his chest resonated with his laughter, Sage followed along with his laughter. Both of them were laughing like fools. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it."
