After leaving his grandfather's house, Jace returned to the Yuriel Mansion.The mansion was filled with wedding decorations, and Jace found them to be a pain to look at. He quickly ordered his butler to remove the decorations.There were tons of missed calls from Sienna, but Jace had no intentions of dealing with her and turned off his phone instead.Taking off his coat and draping it over his arm, he was making his way toward his study when he came to a sudden stop. Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, Jace realized that the rose-scented smell of Sage was almost gone. It was as if she was never here.The rose seal was still on the bedside table. Picking it up, Jace traced his fingers across the seal and realized that the red ink had seeped into his name carved on the stamp pad.Reading the card that Sage had left him, he realized that the handwriting on the card was similar to the carved-out name on the seal. Could it be that Sage had personally carved his name onto the s
Jace had not used his hacking skills for a long time; therefore, he was slightly slow and a bit awkward.After a while, he finally got a hang of it and he sped up gradually.All these years, he never had to look into anyone on his own as Zayne would have everything settled for him. However, Jace was still annoyed by the fact that Zayne had allowed Sage Norah to hide her identity and marry him as Sage Luz. Jace desperately wanted to knock some sense into Zayne.This time it was Sage Norah, but what if next time it was an industrial spy? However, Jace quickly realized that Zayne was right. Everything on Sage Norah: her information and her profile, were all heavily secured, and there was no way that an average hacker would be able to get their hands on her information.Jace had been trained in the military, but his specialty was targeting, not tracking. Yoel was the tracking expert, but he was unwilling to help Jace any longer, and instead, he was trying to pursue Jace's ex-wife.
She took a sip from the bottle of water that Hunter passed her. Turning to Yoel with a look of disgust she said, "You just really don't know when to stop, do you? You are really starting to look greasy and cringy now."Yoel's face fell. He was in his prime and here he was being described as greasy and cringy. Today, he had been the recipient of too many insulting "daggers" from Sage and being the vindictive person he was, Yoel had to return the favor. "At this very moment, I bet my dear friend Jace is sitting in front of his laptop feeling defeated. I feel so sorry for him."Furrowing her brows tightly together, Sage asked, "Who?""Jace. Jace Yuriel. Your ex-husband."Yoel enunciated the words carefully, and every word that he said was like a dagger thrusting into Sage's heart. "He asked me to dig up some information on you, but I didn't agree to his request. I'm guessing that he had decided to take matters into his own hands.""You're telling me that the person with such lame
The drive from Nadeem City to Salem City takes about two hours. The sky was overcast, and the sound of rain was hypnotic. Sage did not feel like conversing with Yoel anymore. Putting a blanket over her shoulders, she planned to take a nap. Before she closed her eyes, she warned Yoel, "Keep quiet."To Hunter, she said, "Throw him out of the car if he's causing trouble.""Don't worry. I'll be good," Yoel replied, "I can lend you my shoulder if you like.""No thanks. I might have a nightmare."Yawning, Sage closed her eyes and said nothing more. Yoel chuckled softly. Looking at the woman who was curled up like an adorable small pet, Yoel had the urge to pull her closer into his arms.He reached for his phone and proceeded to take a photo of Sage.Realizing what Yoel was up to, Hunter glared at him and wanted to snatch away his phone.Yoel swiftly avoided Hunter. Winking, Yoel hushed Hunter. He planned to carry out his actions proudly. Hunter tried to force Yoel to delete the
The partnership needed a few last details to be hashed out before it was finalized. Yoel got out of the car when it came to a stop in front of the Norah Group's building. Sage had ordered the upper management to gather for a meeting so that she might tell them that the piece of land near the outskirts of Salem would no longer be turned into a golf course, but instead, would be transformed into a horse racing track. She stayed after work to speed through some documents. After going through several documents, she received a call from home.Miss Zamora, her house butler, had called to report that Yeva could not hold on any longer.Sage's eyes flickered. She had almost forgotten about Yeva.Yeva felt like she was going to die soon.She could feel her soul leaving her body. She had never expected that she would die from starvation.Yeva had never been this hungry all her life. The first day was not too bad as Yeva had told herself that she had been fasting or that she had been on
After the lesson by Sage, Yeva had been on her best behavior. She had wanted to complain to her father so that he might help her get her revenge, but she had heard that her father was away. Both Braxton and Zane had taken a trip to some archeological dig so that they could dig up treasures with a team of archeologists, and she had no way of reaching them. [When the cats are away, the mice will play.]Sage had been busy while Braxton and Zane were not around. She had taken over most of their ongoing projects, and she had also made significant changes within the company by following the rule: [Those who comply will thrive, and those who resist will perish.] There were many companies under the Norah Group, and each company was examined and overseen by a head of department. The workload was heavy. At least three meetings would be held in order to monitor the progress of the important projects. "The rose-themed jewelry project has garnered good reactions on the internet and the pub
Jace watched the night scene through his car window. He was fumbling with the rose seal as he realized that he had not known his ex-wife at all. Now, he wanted to get to know her. The car drove past the landmark of Salem City— The Rose Parterre.Jace called Yoel. "I've reached."…Just as she was about to get off work, Sage received a call from Luther. He wanted her to attend a charity event with him. Without a hint of hesitation, Sage rejected his offer, "I'm busy.""You're going to die from all the work. To maintain a healthy lifestyle, you should work hard and play hard." Sensing that Sage was about to end the call, Luther hurriedly added, "There'll be an auction at the dinner event. I heard that they're auctioning four enamel porcelain plates. They are from that famous potter that you admire. It's mine if you are not going to go for it." Sage, who was signing the papers, stopped, and said, "Time and venue."Luther chuckled, pleased. "I'll pick you up from Rosa Garden
Yeva was rendered speechless.Watching Sage as she walked away with graceful strides, Yeva, who was burning with jealousy, gritted her teeth.Things had always been this way since they were young. Sage had always gotten whatever she wanted without even having to ask while Yeva had to settle for Sage's castoffs. However, Yeva's father was the chairman of Norah Group, and she was supposedly the rightful heiress of the Norah family, not Sage. At the thought of this, Yeva hated the fact that she had to tiptoe around Sage, and she swore to herself that she would no longer allow this to continue. As soon as Sage walked out of Rosa Garden, she realized that Luther was nowhere to be seen. Instead, a silver BMW was parked in front of the gate, and she saw Julian getting out of the car. "Julian!" Yeva was filled with emotion when she saw her boyfriend, and she began running toward him with open arms. She had even deliberately bumped Sage's shoulder as she ran past her. Caught off guard
