Sage's smile stiffened when she saw Yoel and Jace's arrival. Her mouth was set in a hard line. If she knew they would be here, she would rather not come.Jace walked to her with a megawatt smile. "Happy Valentine's day."Sage did not even smile at him. She said ruthlessly, "If you really want to make me happy, you should have stayed in the hospital obediently and not come."Jace knew he would be criticized for coming, but he wanted to see her and spend Valentine's day with her, so he came anyway.Jace pursed his lips slightly. He wanted to make her happy, but he did not know what to say."It's such an important occasion. How can I leave you alone?"Sage thought in her heart, 'Right. At least they care.'Yoel was much more carefree compared to Jace's cautious approach. He came over casually and wrapped his arm around Jace's shoulder. He greeted, "Sage, Happy Valentine's day!"Yoel wore a toothy grin. "Today's a day worth celebrating. You should cheer up. Come, smile."Sage felt
"Of course."Jace took Mister Jordan to Sage and introduced him to her. "Sage, this is the chairman of Jordan Group. Meet Mister Jordan and his wife, Missus Jordan. They're my mother's old friends."Since they were Freya's friends, Sage showed more respect to them. She shook their hands politely and greeted, "Hello, Mister Jordan, Missus Jordan."After a few business greetings, Missus Jordan held her husband's arms and observed Sage."No wonder Freya kept praising you to me. She says you're a nice person. I'm not as lucky as her to have such a beautiful, capable, and understanding daughter-in-law like you."Sage maintained a polite smile on her face. She corrected her softly, "Missus Jordan, I'm her ex-daughter-in-law."Her words hurt Jace instantly like an arrow to the heart. It stung.The air became awkward for a moment. Missus Jordan covered her mouth and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry. I thought you got toge—" Mister Jordan held his wife's hand and stopped her from finishi
Sage was on her way back to Rosa Garden. As the car drove away, she looked in the rear-view mirror and saw Jace standing in the same spot, not moving. His figure became smaller and smaller until it disappeared from her sight.She retracted her gaze and stared at the bouquet of pink roses in her hand with mixed feelings.In the past, she hoped he would give her flowers every Valentine's day like any couple would do. She was happy, even if it was just one stalk. However, he never gave her any. She comforted herself, thinking that he probably just did not understand romance at all.However, she finally understood that men were not entirely slow-witted in romance. Rather, they just did not care until the right person came.She could not have his love before. When she could finally have it, she no longer wanted it. See, people were hard to please. Things just did not work out the way she wanted.Sage smiled coldly.There was a saying that a good marriage would teach people to love oth
Yeva smiled bitterly. "I've warned you, but you refused to listen. Who can you blame but yourself?"Yes. It's all my fault! I was blind and trusted the wrong woman. Now, I finally understand that you're the only one who treats me the best. Julian looked up at Yeva with a deeply regretful look."Yeva, I know I'm wrong. Please, forgive me once. I've divorced Queenie. We can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to remarry right away. I will love you and pamper you. After you give birth to the baby, we can live together as a family of three. How nice!" Yeva's tears fell on Julian's face, and her heart ached beyond words. Oh, how wonderful. She could not resist imagining the happy image of their future, but she could not forget how Julian abused her.He humiliated her in front of Queenie, threw her into the cold and dirty attic, ignored her, and made out with Queenie in front of her.She had knelt on the ground and begged him, but he was so cruel and cold-hearted at that time…Yeva too
By the time Sage stopped and turned around, Yeva had already fainted from the pain.She frowned, went over, and lifted Yeva's skirt to see a pool of blood. She immediately shouted, "Go to the hospital now!"The bodyguard helped Yeva into the car. When they left, Sage looked at Julian, curled up on the ground.She ordered with a cold voice, "Break both his hands and send him back to the Jefferson family. Don't let him die here. He will bring bad luck.""Argh!!"A harsh cry pierced the night sky. About twenty minutes later, "Argh!!"Another pained cry came from the abortion room.Hunter and Leah hurried to the hospital immediately after receiving the news. They happened to hear the scream. It sounded like the person screaming had exhausted their life's strength. It was horrifying."Sage." Leah's lips trembled. "Yeva, she's…"Sage's pale face was impassive. She spoke indifferently like she was just stating a fact, "We couldn't save the baby."Oh, God. Leah covered her mouth in
"It seems like you are still unaware of what your son has done."Sage's expression was still cold. She curled her lips and said coldly, "Congratulations. You've just lost a grandchild. The color on Wilson and Missus Jefferson's faces changed quickly."Your dearest son killed him with a kick." Sage snorted coldly. "What a good son indeed. Wilson and Missus Jefferson's faces whitened. They were both lost for words.Sage did not waste time talking to them. She stood up, walked to the ward, and said, "How unfortunate. The old Jefferson family would have continued their lineage.Wilson and Missus Jefferson were instantly at a loss for words and broke into a cold sweat.When Sage walked into the ward, Yeva was already awake. Rather, she was conscious the whole time.While lying on the cold surgery table, she could feel the life in her belly leaving her little by little. Her eight-week-old baby, just two months old, was gone.Gone.Her baby was killed by its own father, by his own
It was another night of chaos in the eventful year.Wilson and Missus Jefferson stood in front of the operating room, looking anxious.They could hear Julian's constant screams coming out of the room. Missus Jefferson felt nothing but heartache. She kept sobbing and crying, "My son…"Wilson was annoyed, listening to her constant sobbing. He walked back and forth with his hands on his back. He impatiently stopped her, "Come one. Our son is not dead yet. Why are you crying so much!""He's my dearest child. Can't I feel pain for him?" Missus Jefferson sobbed. The more she thought of it, the more she could not accept it. "Say, isn't Sage vicious? She beat Julian up and even broke his hands. Why can't we call the police?""Do you think I don't want to? Don't you see what your son has done to her sister?"Wilson's face turned icily cold. He exhaled, "I knew this jerk is up for no good. He said he was going to get back together with Yeva. I thought it was a good thing. If they do get
Missus Jefferson went over immediately and hugged her son, crying. Wilson stayed up all night and could barely hold on. He stood up, supporting his weight against the wall.Just as he wanted to see his son, his company's vice CEO rushed over to him with his face covered in sweat. "Mister… bad news!"The vice CEO stumbled and almost tripped. Wilson supported him and asked sternly, "What's wrong? Tell me!""The building collapsed. The project is gone. Many workers were crushed." Wilson's heart sank. "How did it happen? Go… Hurry up and see… How many casualties?""Two dead."Wilson's footsteps stopped. Things would turn bad, knowing that someone died. He said with a grave face, "Quickly contact the family. Cover the news and negotiate privately!""It's too late." The vice CEO said, "The building collapsed severely. The workers caused a riot and disturbed the surrounding residential buildings. The media have rushed over. Many reporters are outside the hospital."Hearing that, Wi
