Sienna had never panicked so much in her life.Her mind went blank, looking at the flashing lights and countless cameras in front of her. The script she memorized was completely useless. She could not handle the pressure and chose to flee.Sienna's escape caused chaos in the noisy press conference.Her fleeing had not mattered much. However, it was a surprise for those watching the online live broadcast of the press conference. They were caught off guard and made Sienna's escape trend on Twidder.The netizens made fun of the way Sienna ran away and her expression during the escape. They made them into memes and uploaded tons of them online.Sienna's fan was climbing in number. Judging by the upward trend, she had the potential to become the top star.Luther burst out laughing. "A good teammate is always nice, but look at what a terrible teammate can do. If Luna knew that her dearest niece sold her off in front of the world like that, she'd probably kill her."Sage shook her head
Jace pressed his lips into a tight line. He was out for words and could not express the bitterness in him.Yoel scolded him for being as blind as a bat. The two women from the Zelda family had fooled him. He mistook them for the kindest angels with the purest heart. He thought they were nice people, but clearly, they were dumb and vicious.Yoel had seen countless women's true colors before and could easily see through them. When he first met Luna and Sienna, he knew they were bad people. Their ill intention was clearly written on their faces. Yoel did not even bother to look at them."Oh, you. You're just too inexperienced with women that you assume they are as pure as they look. Listen. Don't judge a book by its cover. Some women that look tough and smart on the outside, like Sage, aren't necessarily as strong inside." Yoel went on and on. "A strong woman may look tough outside, but they're kind inside. They are like hedgehogs. They are full of thorns, but you'll know they're s
When they arrived at Yuriel Treasure Museum, Sage got out of the car first.The blazing sun outside was too hot. Sage did not plan to wait for Jace, so she walked in first.Jace found a place to park the car. As soon as he unfastened his seatbelt, his head felt dizzy.Recently, he often felt dizzy. He occasionally had a headache and felt nauseous too. When did this start?He could not remember. Did it start after his divorce from Sage? Was it the time when he saw Sienna taking pictures with different men at the wedding? Otherwise, was it when he learned the truth… the cruel truth. Now, a wave of disgust would drown him whenever he saw Sienna or heard the mention of her name.It turned out that love would disappear with time. His love for Sienna had disappeared like that. Was it the same for Sage too? …There was a beautiful courtyard in the back of the Yuriel Treasure Museum. It was Mendoza's residence.Jace had someone tidy up a few residences. He had converted them into st
Sage turned him down coldly. She said with a deadpan expression, “Please just stay away from me.”Jace was rendered speechless. He rubbed his nose, feeling disappointed. Sage's rejection was evident.Mendoza held the teacup in his hand and drank the tea with a loud slurp. He also grinned in amusement. Wayne was annoyed by the slurping noises. "Mendoza, please keep quiet! Otherwise, I'll throw you out!"Mendoza and Jace were rendered speechless. They looked at each other in silence and obediently shut up.It was clear that Wayne had mentored Sage. Their rhythm, habits, state, and some subtle movement were almost the same and synchronized.Jace looked at them from the side, his eyes gleaming in a beautiful light.He spent countless nights feeling the Rose Stamp in his hand and the gifts Sage left him. He would stare at the drawn, carved, and engraved mark on it and imagine how Sage had made it. He tried to imagine the way Sage drew, carved and engraved them. However, nothing came
Jace could not understand why they diverted the question to him. It came so sudden, and it stunned him.He gave Mendoza a look, thinking, ‘Are you messing with me? How am I supposed to answer that?'He had Mister Norah on one side and Sage on the other side. He must not offend them.A sudden silence loomed in the air. Jace smiled softly and said, “Let's share the benefit. The money will stay in the family.”Unexpectedly, Wayne and Sage's faces sank simultaneously after he said that. They said in unison, “Who's your family?”Stop messing around!Jace chuckled and faced the trouble. He said, "Isn't all the money Mister Norah earned all yours, Sage?”Well, that was true. Wayne snorted and said arrogantly, “Yeah. That's it.”Sage did not expose Wayne's true intent. She was not bold enough to tell the real reason in front of so many people. Wayne agreed to collaborate on the project and demanded half of the project's profit because he wanted to get justice for her. It was an addit
Jace frequently drove Sage around and somewhat became her driver. However, he enjoyed it.The two did not speak to each other, so it was very quiet in the car.Jace got a few big boxes out of nowhere and piled all of them on the back seat. Sage had to sit in the front passenger seat because there was nowhere else to sit. She understood his trick, but she simply ignored it and played on her phone instead.A sudden cough broke the long silence.Jace asked, “What do you think of the project?" He was trying to start a conversation.Sage curved her finger and continued tapping on the screen. While she replied to Hunter’s several text messages, she answered Jace dully, "It’s not bad. You will profit in both reputation and money, killing two birds with one stone. Mister Jace, you made a good move."Her comment was pertinent and neutral, but it sounded rather perfunctory and polite.Jace then asked, "How do you know that Mister Norah signed this contract for you?"Sage frowned, looki
Sage lost her temper easily but calmed down just as quickly.By the time Jace sent Sage to her community gate, her petty temper was mostly gone. She looked calm again.Her assistant, Louis, was waiting in front of the gate with an umbrella in his hand. When Sage finally arrived, he immediately opened the door for her and protected Sage from the blazing hot sun.He greeted Jace very politely, "Thank you for giving Miss Sage a ride, Mister Jace."He was unaware of Jace and Sage’s history. All he knew was that Jace was pursuing Sage. It was Jace who rescued Sage when Luna wanted to kill her the other day. Jace left a good impression on Louis, so he was friendly with him.Jace told Sage, "Sage, let’s invite Dr. Samuel and Luther to a meal soon.""Let’s talk about it next time."Sage remained cold and distant. She closed the door and walked into the community with Louis.She did not even bother looking back. All she did was hold the phone with a frown on her face. Louis followed b
Sienna sat across from Sage. She moved her arm that popped back in place. It was still a little painful, so she glared angrily at Louis, who was standing behind Sage. Louis was a fool and ungentlemanly. How was he going to get a wife in the future? Louis looked aloof. He only dislocated her arm because he had mercy.If Sienna were not a lady, he would break her neck instead of her arm.Sage knew Sienna’s purpose for the visit. However, she still asked as a courtesy, "Miss Zelda, why are you looking for me? What’s wrong?"The enemies came face to face with their eyes blazing with hate.Sienna really wanted to quarrel with Sage, but it was not the right time. She did not have the upper hand in her current situation, so she had to lay low. She lowered her head and wore a kind smile. "Can't I meet you just for some coffee?"Sage found her reply hilarious. She ridiculed, "Are we even friends?"Sienna made it sound like they were acquainted as friends.Sienna continued smiling. "O
