Luther arranged for his men to get ready near the Looming branch. When the twenty-four hours were up, they would catch her as soon as Sienna came out!Just after he hung up on the call, Sage looked at the screen with a frown. "How did he get in there?""Who?" Luther looked over and stared in amazement, asking, "What the hell is going on? How did Jace get in there?"In the interrogation room, Sienna was busy playing with her hair, teasing the officers as she evaded their questions. Then, she suddenly met Jace's eyes.She stiffened at once. "J-Jace…"Sienna did not know if Jace heard everything she said earlier. She became very nervous and wanted to stand up.Cole snapped, "Sit down! Sit down! Did I allow you to move?""Cole?" Sienna sat down hesitantly, "why are you here, too?"Cole looked at Sienna coldly and held back tons of expletives. Just as he was about to speak, Jace turned to him and said softly, "Hey, don't give her a hard time. Let me talk to her alone."His voice wa
Sage and Luther got nervous. They thought the polices were seriously going to turn off the surveillance. Just when they were thinking of sending someone to install a tapping device, they noticed that the surveillance was not turned off. It was still clear.The two's conversation was transmitted clearly. Jace took a seat across from Sienna and spoke slowly. "Are you okay?" As soon as he said that, tears streamed down her cheek on demand. She was just like a real actress."Jace, I knew you'd come and save me…"Cole and Luther cursed at the same time in different places, "You don't know sh*t!" Sage sneered coldly and snorted. She never thought she would see such a scene in her lifetime. It was much more exciting than an ordinary TV show.Jace lit a cigarette and held it between his long fingers. The smoke from the cigarette floated in the air around them.Jace looked down and appeared a little vulnerable.Sienna felt nervous looking at Jace like this. She called his name helpl
Sienna looked up and saw Jace's cold look. She shuddered in fear."Jace, a-are you going to look for him?"The white smoke blurred Jace's eyes, making it hard to read his emotions.She could hear only his deep voice, answering her, "He hurt the woman I love. How can I forgive him?" Sienna thought he wanted to avenge her and seek justice. She looked happy and shy, saying, "Actually, it's okay. He didn't do anything to me…""All you have to do is telling me where he is?"Jace's voice turned icy. Hearing that, Sienna shuddered and said thoughtlessly, "I-I don't know where his real home is. I only know that he rents a long-term private room at the South River Club...""What's his room number?""880," Sienna answered mindlessly.On the screen, Jace rose with a start almost at the sound of Sienna's answer.The look on his face changed. His face was still cold, but it was a completely different vibe."Cole," Jace shouted, and Cole immediately pushed the door open in response."Go
"Of course. What else? Do you think they'll even beat me?"Sage exercised her neck and patted Luther's shoulder. "Relax, Luther. Tim and Kane may scold me, but it'll be fine. I just have to act cute in front of them. Please help me take most of the punishment later." Luther complained, "Are you f*king serious?""Maybe I am.""I…" Luther was rendered speechless and helpless. Why did he always end up being the victim?…When they arrived at South River Club, it was chaotic. Not only had the police arrived, but the fire department had also arrived. The reporters were even the first to arrive, making the place very crowded. Sage frowned and got off the car. The phone in her pocket rang, but she did not hear it. All sorts of noises were blaring in her ears, including the sirens and the onlookers' distinct murmurs."What's going on this year? A club was on fire just a while ago. Why is South River Club on fire, too?""Didn't the club clear the rumor? It didn't burn. It was just a
Sage's vision blurred under the scorching sunlight. She heard a piercing buzz in her ears, and it hurt so much that her head was about to explode. She could not see anything or hear anything.The color of blood was spreading rapidly in her eyes."Sage! Sage!""Get in the car first! Let's get out of here!" Ross and the others arrived in a hurry. They picked up Jace, who was knocked out, from Sage's arm.He turned his head, but Sage was nowhere to be seen.A tragic scream came from behind. Everyone turned and looked over.Sage stepped on the assailant's neck and moved her arm. She used the Swiss Army knife and pierced through the assailant's palm. His hand that was still holding the iron rod turned bloody!Her eyes were piercing cold, just like her voice. "Tell me. Who sent you here?""Miss, you can't…"A police officer came forward and wanted to stop Sage's rampage, but Cole stopped him.The assailant clenched his teeth and refused to speak.Sage remained expressionless a
For the sake of Sage's safety, the guys wanted to send her back to Salem City right away and keep her in Rosa Garden. However, Jace was injured because of her and the guys knew that Sage would not leave until he had gotten out of danger.Ross, Kane, and Luther surrounded Sage to protect her.The moment they realized that Sage had left the hospital, Kane and Ross were on their toes since then.The bullet could have hit Sage.The guys could not bring themselves to imagine the worst if anything happened to Sage.Just the thought of it was enough to send chills down their spine.The Yuriels heard of the news and arrived at the hospital.Aunt Wendy pushed Freya who was in a wheelchair toward them. Freya looked worried, "Sage, what happened to Jace?""Freya."Sage stood up to greet her. Holding Freya's hands in hers, Sage felt her lips go dry. "He's still inside,” said Sage."He was fine earlier, wasn't he? What happened?"Placing her hand on her chest, Freya added, "You were near
Jace's condition was more serious than they imagined.At the mention that Jace had to undergo cranial surgery, Freya's face turned utterly pale, and she nearly fell off her wheelchair.Lucas reached out to hold her. "Freya!""Freya," said Sage.She also went up to Freya to help her. At the sight of Freya's disoriented expression, Sage felt her heart drop.Even though Freya was considerate and did not blame Sage for what happened, it was after all her son who was injured. How could a mother not be worried?Freya was someone who went through a lot. Shortly after, she was able to regain her composure. Pulling her hands away from Lucas, Freya said to the doctor, "Do it then, the cranial surgery. But you must guarantee my son's life would no longer be in danger!"The doctor looked conflicted. "Truth be told, this will be surgery with a high risk, and only experts like the professors in the hospital are allowed to carry out the surgery. But all of our professors are away for a confere
After taking a look at Jace's condition, Sage started making preparations for the surgery.The first thing she needed to do was to shave all of Jace's hair to prevent the hair from getting in the way during the surgery."My my, what a pity to shave off all of such a good-looking guy. I can't bring myself to do it.""Stop being dramatic! We're going to open up his skull anyway. What's the fuss with shaving his hair?""He's Sage's ex anyway. It doesn't matter that he looks ugly.""From what I gathered, Jace got hurt because he saved ma'am. So I would recommend that you guys be more careful when handling him. We can't be sure that ma'am might not go soft-hearted and get back together with Jace.""Is ma'am the kind to go soft-hearted?"Everyone shook their heads.It was Sage. Walking into the operating room dressed in surgery scrubs, she asked, "What are you guys talking about? Talking bad about me behind my back?""No!"' They replied at the same time.One of the staff finished s
