Jace probably deserved it as well. After all, he did it to himself, and who was he to blame?

Ross' focus was not on Sage but on Jekyll instead; he thought and asked, “Why would Jekyll kidnap you? Just because you saw him doing it, and he would kill you for that?”

Laura frowned and said, “Yeah, we couldn’t figure that out, either. Sienna was terrified to death when she saw us. Maybe she was worried that we would tell Jace. She told Jekyll to catch us. Eventually, we fought hard against them.”

She added, “We thought maybe it was just a simple fight, and suddenly, a gun was pointed at my head from behind.”

Assaulting them in broad daylight with guns in his hands proved he wasn’t just an ordinary guy.

Jekyll was extremely evil and violent.

Ross looked at Kane and asked, “Don’t you know that there's such a person in the underworld?”

Kane answered with a straight face, “Nope, I haven’t heard of anything about a bearded man. Maybe he just appeared out of nowhere?”

    Leah could only understand half of what Sage truly meant. At last, she nodded hesitantly.However, there was one thing that she understood well: she must try to make herself stronger and better!…Now that Hunter was here, Sage felt like working. Sage was grounded and she could not go out. However, she still had to do the work that needed to be done and there were many matters to be arranged by her.Hunter immediately reported on the current progress of the Jefferson Group."I don't want to hear the process. Just tell me the results."Sage sat on the bed and pulled a small table over. She reviewed the documents and paperwork carefully and checked for errors.

    Sage was already a grown-up, but she was forced to stay in the ward. She felt embarrassed about it, but the loss of freedom felt worse.She was not in a good mood and was grumpy about it. Jace's arrival only made her grumpier.Jace had learned a new trick from god-knows-where and started coming to the health center to visit her daily. Unfortunately, she was stuck in the ward, so she had no choice but to have him stay.What made her even troubled was the fact that the Yuriel's family took the blame for her near-accident at the club. They blamed Jace for not keeping her safe. Therefore, they ordered Jace to take care of her and make it up for her.Grandma Yuriel even came to visit her in person. She held her hand and said with a smile, "Sage, tell Jace if you want to eat something. He'll buy it for you. It's his duty to take care of you. Just treat him like a slave, anything will do."Sage could not refuse the elder's kindness. So she awkwardly nodded along and laughed.As for Frey

    "Why are you staring at me?"Jace replied, "You look pretty."Sage fell silent. She quietly thought to herself, "I know I'm good-looking. Isn't that obvious?""Stop staring. I can't eat with you staring like that." Sage's tone was stiff."Oh." Jace closed his eyes and promised, "I'll stop staring."Sage became speechless. Why was Jace being so silly?She ignored him and continued to eat.The room stayed silent for a moment until someone's tummy suddenly growled a little. Sage's actions stopped when she heard the abrupt noises. She looked up suddenly, glancing from Jace's stomach to his face.Jace did not expect his stomach to growl that loudly and his face flushed a little."You haven't eaten?" Sage asked in surprise.Jace stiffened. "Not yet." He managed a smile, paused a little, and then explained, "It was already noon when I rushed home from the museum. I was afraid that you were hungry, so I rushed over with the food. You can eat first. I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat la

    This colorful enamel bowl was not the same as the four bowls Sage purchased at the charity dinner a long time ago.Sage's eyes lit up as soon as she placed it in the palm of her hand."Was this from the ancient golden years?"Jace's eyes glistened. He knew Sage loved antique goods, but he did not expect her eyes to be that sharp.He said with a smile, "Yeah." Then, he asked, "How did you know?"Sage slowly turned the small bowl with a white bottom in her hand. While she observed it, bouts of information flashed in her mind.The colorful enamel bowl had plum blossoms and peony patterns. It was probably made in the ancient golden years. It had a bigger mouth, a beautifully curved wall, and a round bottom. The bowl was even painted with a white glaze inside. The enamel drawn outside depicted two plum blossoms on the old branches, in full bloom.She muttered subconsciously, "The enamel bowls from the ancient silver years were less decorated and simple, but the enamel bowls from the

    "I'll decide if it's worth it or not. I think this is just nice."Jace kept the hairpin. Fearing that Sage would give him more money, he hastily packed the lunchbox and left. Before leaving, he added, "I'll leave now and come back for dinner."Why would he come again?Sage frowned hard and shouted his name from behind. "Jace!"'Don't you come again!' she thought as the door closed with a snap.Meanwhile, in the next room.Laura lay on her back while getting chiropractic treatment. She looked towards Kane who was standing beside her."Hey, bro? Why do you come here every day? Do you like watching me suffer or something?"Kane held his black phone and looked up upon hearing that. "Yeah," he muttered.Laura was confused. "Huh?"Kane added, "It's pretty fun.""What the heck…"When she moved, Melody warned, "Hey, don't move."Laura dared not move. She only gave Kane a fierce look.If the injury was not holding her back, she would have beaten him up then and there. How could he

    Jace got into his car after leaving the hospital.He grabbed the hairpin in his hand and caressed the beautiful and delicate rose carving on it. He also felt Sage's beautifully carved name on the hairpin and could not stop touching it.A smile surfaced on his face unknowingly.He finally had something that belonged to her. It was just a small hairpin, but it reminded him of her warmth because of the carvings she personally made on it.Zayne sat in the front passenger seat and answered a call. He wanted to inform Jace about something and turned back. However, he caught sight of a silly-looking Jace who was staring at a hairpin.Zayne couldn’t help compressing his lips.Jace just used a priceless antique to exchange for an ordinary wooden hairpin. It was clearly a loss-making trade, but he looked so happy. Love really made people silly."Mister Jace." Zayne did not want to spoil his boss’ good mood, but he had to say something to him."Shoot," Jace answered with a faint voice."

    "W-what? Y-you sound disgusting."Sage was speechless for a second. She blinked, leaned closer, and grabbed his hand. She shook his hand gently, "Luther, I'd like to ask you for a small favor…""No! No way! I won't do it!"Luther slapped her hand, jumped away, and took three giant steps backward.He looked at her with a wary face as if she was about to do something naughty to him. Sage's face clouded over. "I haven't even told you my request."Luther shook his head at her and gave her a look. He could easily see through Sage's intention."You want me to help you escape to the branch office, right? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?""If you know, then help me," said Sage and kept playing woman.Luther took another giant step back and stuttered, "Y-you… Don't disgust me!"Sage continued doing it. "Luther…"Luther wanted to kneel to her in defeat. He put his hand together and pleaded, "Sage, please spare me. Tim and Kane are the ones who decided to keep you confi

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.

    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

    "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.
