May was quick-witted. Not wanting to miss out on such a good opportunity, she quickly went forward and bowed politely to the old men."My name is May. I'm really good at all sorts of chores, such as laundry, sweeping, watering the plants, and cooking. I know it all!"Wayne and Mendoza were still refusing the offer when Sage said, "This young lady is great at cooking, and she can even sing. Show them what you got, May."May nodded promptly and cleared her throat. "Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high…"Wayne and Mendoza's eyes sparkled upon hearing her voice, and they both applauded. "What a great voice you have there!"Mendoza smiled and asked May, "Young lady, who taught you to sing?""My mother's cousin's aunt's husband was a well-known singer. When he retired back home, my mom and I took care of him for a short while. He was the one who taught me how to sing."Simon heard the voice and came outside to check it out, "Is Carl Freeman the well-known singer you mentioned by
Sage was amused to see how desperate Kane was. Kane's eyes were burning with the desire to hint at Sage for allowing Laura to stay with them. She looked at Laura and asked, "You don't need to go back to Gemfield?"Laura answered, "My parents keep setting up blind dates for me. Just thinking about it makes my head hurt. It's best to just avoid it by any means I can. Let me take shelter at your place.""It's not a biggie, but I don't have that much free time on hand to accompany you…" Sage said.Laura waved her hand dashingly and said, "It's okay. There are so many fun and attractive places in Salem City. I can entertain myself.""I'm worried about leaving you alone." After deep consideration, Sage looked at Kane and asked, "Kane, do you have anything urgent to do? If not, can you please take care of Laura for me?"Kane looked indifferent and acted like he was not happy with the arrangement but had to agree with it because it was Sage's request and said, "I guess I can."Laura coul
Not only was Zayne speechless, but his feelings were also hurt. 'Did I really perform that bad at work?'"Keep the money and return it to her." Jace lowered his tone, "If she doesn't accept it, then tell her the contract had stated that all of Elder Norah's expenses in Nadeem City are to be paid by Yuriel Group.He knew that Mister Jace would never accept the money because the relationship between Mister Jace and Miss Sage would become solely business partners if Mister Jace accepted the money."And that nanny…" Jace suspected something. "Where did she come from? Why would they let her stay?"He had sent almost three candidates over, and all of them were the best in the field, but Mendoza and Elder Norah did not let them stay and asked them to leave as soon as they arrived. 'Why did they let the nanny Sage sent stay? Do they have a double standard with this sort of thing?'Zayne reported, "I heard that nanny knows how to sing and she is a disciple of the well-known singer, Carl Fr
Hunter shivered as he felt a cold chill. 'Mister Jace is really very talented. He always knows how to be the center target of Miss Sage's aim.'Sage kept silent for a moment and said coldly, "Send someone to wait at the exit of the train station. Send him to the hospital immediately after he arrives."Hunter hesitated, "What if Mister Jace refused and fought with the people we sent?"Sage looked fiercely and yelled, "How dare he!"Hunter quickly replied, "No… he doesn't dare…"After that, he quickly sent someone to the train station. He did not know if Jace dared to reject going to the hospital, but he knew he would be the one missing the sunrise tomorrow if he did not complete the mission.It was already evening when the train arrived at Salem City. The sun was almost down. Under the companionship of his assistant and bodyguards, Jace slowly walked out of the train station. Just as he was at the exit, another group of people approached them and quickly surrounded them.Zayne go
'I really do think Miss Sage is a nice person, but she has a big temper, and her desire to seek revenge is very strong. So it's better that I stay out of her way and avoid offending her,' Hunter thought.When Jace reached the hospital, he was really very obedient. He did everything he was told, including changing to a hospital gown and having a full body check-up. Although he looked indifferent and cool, he was not rude and arrogant. Most importantly, he really looked very handsome even when he was bald. The female nurses were so fascinated by him.After his check-up, all of the female nurses fought with each other like they were a bunch of shoppers scrambling during the Black Friday sales when Jace was about to get his anti-inflammatory shot on his buttock."Me!""Head nurse, I'll do it!""I should be the one who does it since it is such a difficult task. No one else can do it other than me!"Everyone wanted to be the one who helped Jace with the shot. Since they could not touch
The temperature in the ward dropped tremendously like it was wintertime. Jace was sitting, and Sage was standing. Both of them glared at Dr. Wagner, who was still lying down on the ground, forming an overwhelming momentum. Despite being a surgical director in charge of the whole surgical team, he was on the downside now without acting arrogant and scolding people like usual. He forced himself to calm down and swallowed his saliva. He looked at Sage, "Wasn't you the one who ordered it?""I ordered you?" Sage stretched out her hand at Hunter and ordered, "Give me the phone."Hunter knew what Sage wanted to do. He unlocked the phone and looked for the conversation history. Sage took the phone and showed it to Dr. Wagner. She said plainly, "I did want to arrange someone to give him a shot so he would remember not to act without thinking twice."Jace knew that Sage was referring to him. He pressed his lips against each other. 'Could there be a turning point?"Sage continued, "But it is
"Understood," Hunter answered.After what happened, Sage was totally exhausted. 'Luckily, the poison was not injected into Jace's body. I can't imagine how disastrous the consequences will be.'"Fortunately, you arrived on time. Or else I will be dead by now."Sage tilted her head and looked at Jace. Her brows interlocked together, and she did not see any relief on his face after nearly escaping death. He looked like he was really, very happy. 'Why does he look so happy? Doesn't he know he nearly died?"Jace saw Sage's sunken face and swiftly stopped smiling and put on a serious face. "How did you know Dr. Wagner was helping Jekyll?" He sat nearly to the other side of the bed so Sage could have more space to sit down on the bed. However, Sage did not sit on the bed, and she sat down on the chair instead.After talking for the whole afternoon, Sage's throat was very dry. "I didn't know there was a problem with Dr. Wagner. Or else I won't have Hunter text him. We have known each oth
On her way back, Sage received a call from an unknown number. She suddenly felt her heart was compressed when she saw the unknown number. Without any reason, she kinda guessed who was on the other end of the phone. Her intuition had always been very accurate.She stayed silent when she answered the phone. A low and smoky voice was heard, "Sweetheart." The voice was the most beloved type of voice by all the young girls; yet, it could make a person's scalp numb.Sage's body tensed up as if she had lost control of her own body. She had to admit it. Even after ten years, she was still afraid of his voice. Being locked in the prison made of iron, she curled up with shackles around her wrists and ankles and a collar around her neck. It was very cold and cramped. Humiliation and fear were all she felt. How could she think about her dignity when the safety of her life could not be guaranteed?A man slowly approached her. Under the faint moonlight, she could see his face was sharp like an
