When Ross returned, Sage had just come out from the master bedroom.Luther had boiled a pot of water and made some tea. He looked at Ross and asked surprisingly, "That was quick. How did it go?""Nothing much." Ross said coldly as he turned to Sage, "Where's the little one?"Sage responded, "She was just scolded by me and is reflecting on her mistakes in the room. Leave her be for now.""Alright."Since Sage had already lectured her once, there was no point for Ross to do it all over again. He understood what kind of person Melody was. She had to figure things out by herself, or else you would just be wasting your energy on her."How was Yoel like?" Sage asked Ross.Ross sat at the corner of the sofa. He took the tea given by Luther and took a sip. "He said plenty, but in conclusion, he said he's not going to reject, nor is he going to be held responsible for it.""B*stard!"Luther was furious as he growled, "What sort of statement is that!"Sage was not surprised at all. She
Sage picked up the call from Yoel but heard Jace's voice from the other side of the phone instead."Hey."Sage frowned when she also heard Yoel over the phone laughing hysterically.Luther, who had just been through that torment, was familiar with that laugh. He knew exactly what was going on.Luther never wanted to laugh ever again!Sage knew what was happening but asked anyway, "What's up with him?"Jace answered, "He stole two bags of pistachio from the girl's bag. He started laughing when he was about to eat the second bag."Yoel, who was still laughing, almost died from anger.Is this what they call karma?Yoel had been fooling around with love for so many years. He had always been able to get off scot-free, but this time, he almost got himself killed by a mere underaged girl!Was that the karma for all the sins he had committed in the past as a heartbreaker?…The Looming District had really tight security. Cars that had not been registered would not be allowed in.S
Jace ran over to Sage with lightning speed and pounced on her, dodging the oncoming car.The both of them almost fell into the flower bed, but they managed to regain their balance.Sage was not startled by Luna. She was, on the other hand, startled by Jace, and she almost twisted her ankle. She frowned deeply and struggled to get out of Jace's embrace.Jace's heart was thumping in his chest. He let out a sigh of relief after making sure Sage was safe.Luna got out of the car and apologized, "Oh my goodness, that was so scary. Are you guys okay? I'm not sure what's up with my car. It just started driving on its own…"Sage looked up coldly and said, "You're saying it started moving by itself without you touching it? Does it also have a mind on its own?""Right? I'm just as confused as you."Luna, the driver who almost ran into someone, acted more innocent and clueless than the person she almost ran into. She patted the car and said, "I don't know much about cars, not sure why it d
Luna bowed slightly as she apologized with such grace and beauty.The security guard who stood by the entrance could not bear to see that and tried to help Luna, "Miss, I can guarantee that Miss Zelda didn't do it on purpose. Since she had apologized, why don't you just forgive her?"Jace and Yoel glared coldly at the security guard. Their gaze are as sharp as blades, filling the air with intimidating pressure. The guard was overwhelmed by the pressure and stopped talking immediately.Sage scrolled her phone leisurely as if nothing had happened. Her palms were covered in calluses, but her hands were slender and so fair that they looked transparent under the sunlight. She pressed on her keyboard lightly and leisurely.Luna was furious upon being ignored, but there was nothing she could do, seeing as she was the one at fault.Luna then apologized once more, "I'm sorry, Miss Norah."Her defined and graceful face hung low, but Sage could not even bother to glance at her.Sienna co
The police station was right next to the district, and they arrived on the scene pretty quickly.After a brief investigation and questioning, Sage and Luna headed to the police station with the officers.Jace and Yoel wanted to go along, but Sage turned around to stop them, "Why are you following me?"Jace said, "I'm one of the witnesses."Yoel responded, "I just wanted justice for you. I also want you to tell me what Melody put in the pistachios. I really thought I was going crazy…"Yoel had never doubted his existence so much before that.All Sage said to him was, "As you deserved."Yoel was at a loss for words.Seeing as Sage had been gone for a while, Luther called Sage. His face shifted upon learning that she was in the police station. "What happened?"Sage did not say much. All she said was no big deal and that she should be done with it soon.Luther and Ross were worried and decided to go over.Ross pushed the master bedroom door open and saw that Melody was sitting i
"You can go out with Yoel, even get married if you want to. But be prepared because we'd never let him off that easily if he hurts you. Your love might even be a burden for him. Would you still like to continue?"Melody had never thought about any of those things. Those words had definitely affected her heart and mindset.Ross looked at Melody, who seemed to be in deep contemplation. Even though he had no idea what Sage told her, he was certain that it was about her own life experience. "You managed to understand everything she said?" Ross asked.Melody thought for a second and answered with honesty, "Partially."'That's more than enough, I guess,' Ross thought to himself.The footage from the surveillance camera and dash camera were crystal clear. Luna did drive the car, knowing there was someone standing in front of the car. Intentional homicide was a reasonable accusation.Luna insisted that the engine was never turned off and that her foot had been on the brake pedal the
Upon seeing Freya, Sage and Jace both got up at the same time and headed toward the entrance."Aunt Freya."Sage greeted Freya as she looked over at Luther and Ross and asked, "Why are you here at the same time?""We met each other by coincidence at the district's entrance and decided to come together," said Luther.Freya held tightly onto Sage's hand, tough and gentle at the same time. "Don't worry, I'm here now. No one's going to hurt you."Sage smiled lightly.Freya had learned that Sage was in the city and wanted to pay a visit when she saw Luther and the others arrive by the district's entrance. Luther recognized Sage's ex-mother-in-law and went up to greet her.After finding out that Sage had gotten into some trouble involving Luna, Freya insisted on coming over and providing Sage with all the support she needed!Lucas' expression shifted when he saw Freya. Luna's face, on the other hand, had completely darkened.That woman was such a meddler.Luna hooked her arm on Luc
Seeing as more and more people came, the police officers started getting frustrated.A new officer who had just joined was a loyal fan of Luna. Maybe because he was starstruck and biased toward his favorite celebrity, he refused to believe that the graceful and beautiful Luna Zelda would do such a thing. He was putting effort into trying to resolve the case. "Why make it such a big deal?"Freya side-eyed him and asked, "You're new, aren't you? Have you even graduated from the police academy? Do you even understand the law? How is something that involves a human life, not a big deal?"The newbie was rendered speechless.Another experienced police officer saw that the newbie had dug himself a hole and was ready to defend him when Freya announced sternly, "If you can't solve the case here, we'll bring the case over to the headquarters. I refuse to waste any more time with you. Where's your chief officer? Or I'll just call the headquarters myself."Ross and Luther exchanged a knowin
