After three years, they felt like it was an exciting war again.

"Has everyone seen the news last night?

Sage sat at the main seat. A cup of unsweetened black coffee was served in front of her. It was hot and steaming, but the bitterness was sobering.

Everyone nodded. "We've seen it."

Jefferson Group had been in power for three years and finally declared bankruptcy. They rose so fast and arrived at their fall. An era was over, and another era was about to start.

"I won't speak too much about this. I'm sure everyone understands."

Sage's raspy voice was slow and soft. However, her presence in the meeting was simply reassuring.

Finn was seated on Sage's side. He looked at the confident Sage with admiration. He felt like Sage was becoming more and more like the late chairman.

"Jefferson Group collapsed, leaving behind a big mess. Many companies want a share of the pie. I have only one request."

Sage looked down with a majestic gaze. "I won't take any rotten pie, but if someone el

    "I'm going." Jace faintly said, "But before I go, I have to deal with the trouble first."When Jace said that, his eyes were cold and chilly. It had been a long time since Yoel last saw that expression. Yoel was a little stunned to see the menacing look on him."Wow!"He made a very exaggerated face and exclaimed, "For a moment there, I thought Team Draco's sniper—Old Dried Fish was back! So handsome!"Jace rolled his eyes and ignored him."Aren't you going to Mostal to meet your little girlfriend? Why are you still here?" Jace attacked.First Blood!"W…what little girlfriend? Don't spout nonsense!" Yoel glared at him. "I'm just following my dad's order to accompany him to Mostal to recuperate. I'm still a bachelor. Please don't mess with me.""Oh." Jace nodded. "Seems like the torn underwear last night has affected your performance. Did your little bird become a little dried fish?"Double Kill!"W…what little bird? What dried fish?!" Yoel flushed in anger and threw the p

    "Not yet."Kane said, "Go down and have your breakfast. I'll wait for her."Then, he leaned over and tried to enter the room. Sage blocked him and said, "You should wait outside. How can a man enter a girl's bedroom?"Kane gave her a look. "It's not like I've never been in your room before.""Nonsense. We're siblings. Isn't it different?""Cut the crap and let me in.""No!"Sage blocked all his attempts to enter. Before Kane got mad, she said, "Unless…""Okay. I'll give you a small tip."Kane transferred Sage two hundred dollars without saying a word.Sage pouted. "Is that all?""You're so stingy. Maybe you shouldn't go in."She said so, but she still clicked and accepted the incoming transfer on her app.Kane lowered his voice and warned, "There's a transaction limit of two hundred dollars on the app!""But you can transfer by bank."Kane swallowed his anger and directly transferred ten thousand dollars to Sage. "Is this enough?""Just barely."Sage reluctantly accept

    About five minutes later, Laura and Kane came downstairs together. Zamora followed behind them in embarrassment.Sage sipped her soup and looked at Laura. She asked knowingly, "What's all the fuss about? What happened?"Kane followed behind Laura and glared at Sage, telling her to shut up and eat.Sage pretended not to see his warning. She pulled the chair next to her for Laura to sit.Laura yawned and said lazily, "Hey, don't mention it. I woke up and opened my eyes to see Kane's big face in front of me. It scared me…"When she said that, everyone looked at Kane.Kane had such a small and handsome face. Why did she say big face? Laura might have misunderstood the size of his face.Laura claimed she was scared, but there was no fear on her face. She took a bite of the bread and continued, "I fell right off the bed and somehow landed on Kane."Kane sat across from Laura and wore a calm look on his face.While the servants gave Laura and Kane sets of cutleries, Zamora filled K

    Laura shook her head and leaned against the window. "I don't know, but it's fun to be with him. We can't stop talking, and he's very accommodating to me. He's not like Jace and Yoel, who always bicker with me."When she thought of Kane's silly face, she could not help but smile sweetly.Click! Sage took a photo of her."Why did you suddenly take a photo of me?" Laura said, "I didn't get to pose.""That's what I'm looking for."Sage gestured for her to come over. "Come and see."Laura walked over and saw her silly look on Sage's phone. It was unbelievably embarrassing. "I look like a fool. Delete it…"Sage looked at her. "Do you know what I see?"Laura was puzzled.Sage continued, "I see a woman in love."Sage said, "If you don't believe me, take a good look at Leah. She smiles like this every day, just like a silly girl.""If you put it that way…" Laura observed her photo and thought about Leah's smile. "The resemblance is quite strong."She was surprised at herself. "Oh,

    Sage was finally finished with work. When she returned, she saw Laura looking at the screen, giggling.The woman who used to be so manly and handsome was curled up with her legs on the office chair. She sat in a very girly posture. Was this the power of love?Sage leaned on the door frame and admired the scene for a moment. At last, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. "Miss Lane, can we leave yet?" Laura moved the mouse and said without looking up, "There are still a few more. I'll be done soon."As expected, most women really liked handsome men.Sage came in with a smile. "There's no hurry. You can take your time." Laura just could not take her eyes off the screen. She sighed emotionally and said, "I must say, Kane has become increasingly handsome with age.""People always say that girls will bloom into beauty when they turn eighteen. It turns out to be the same for boys. Oh, no. He became so handsome as he grew up.""These photos of him with pigtails look so much l

    As night fell, Sage gave it a thought and decided, "Why don't I take you somewhere a little more exciting?"Laura's sleepy eyes widened suddenly, eager to play. "Exciting? Where?"Sage kept it a secret and arched her brow. "It's going to be very exciting." Laura's heart suddenly thumped widely. She covered her face with her hands. "It can't be… that kind of place?""You'll know soon. I won't disappoint you."Sage gave her a mysterious look. Then, she told the driver to drive them to the car service shop to pick up a sports car that she had serviced and repaired. Laura could not help but think, 'Miss Sage is really the great Missy.'However, her lips twitched when she saw the bright green Pursche 911 shining under the night light. She asked hesitantly, "Is this… your car?""My brother, Luther, gave it to me."Sage said, "The color is ugly, but it's a good car. Let's not judge a car by its appearance. Let's go. Get in." Laura took a closer look at the car and found nothing w

Long time no see!"Contrary to the noisy cheering on the racer's side, two bystanders were whispering beside each other while snacking on some seeds."I didn't expect Sage to be so handsome. She's so high-profile." Laura looked at the mask on Sage's face and thought it was too childish. She could not help but complain.Luther gave Laura a handful of seeds, eating some himself too.

    Cole added, "I've checked her flight. She has arrived at Salem City Airport, and I also found out that… Jekyll is now in Salem City.""Jekyll is in Salem City?"Jace's expression changed again. Based on his earlier investigations, Jekyll was supposed to be in Smoke City Port, ready to be extradited out of the country."I think they created a smokescreen for you. I just found out about it this afternoon."Cole said, "Think about it. Jekyll came back for Sage. Why would he run before he achieved his goal? Are you still with Sage? Be sure to remind her to be careful."At this point, Jace's heart was in his throat. He hurriedly took Zachary's number and called Sage. However, she did not answer.He rolled out of bed and called Laura as he changed.The phone rang twice and connected. He asked, "Are you with Sage now?""Yeah. We are… Ugh—"Laura slumped on the side of the road and threw up again. "I'm telling you. Sage, she's… She's not human."Jace frowned as he listened to the noi

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.

    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

Jace thought and got a headache.Seeing that Sage was about to open her mouth again, he panicked and kissed her directly to shut her up.Dean was stunned by Jace's quick action.

    "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.
