When there were people hating on her, naturally there were people defending her too.There were quite a number of people who stood out in her defense, and said that the original poster was the sh*t-stirrer. It was because he hit the lead cabin crew first, to have received a slap across his own face for it.Meanwhile the girl who slapped him, was the most important person throughout the incident.Not only did she gave confidence to everyone including the pilots and cabin crew, she helped with evacuating everyone from the sinking plane. She even set up a small first aid team on the spot to treat the injured passengers on time on the island.The lead cabin crew stood out to say something too, she was supportive of Sage, and said that other than the two pilots, she was the most contributive person during the incident.Even Johnson the co-pilot complimented her when interviewed by the TV, he said, "Miss Salvia was a beautiful woman inside out, she was extremely competent and adorable,
The night seemed extra dark in Salem City tonight, not a single star could be seen in the sky."Mister Jace, the posts and comments were all deleted, the search terms were removed too. I had sent presents to those 'righteous' passengers too." Zayne reported to Jace. Jace did not look up, but only said a brief "okay".He was staring at the webpages, and repeatedly listened to the audio interview of the pilot, he could almost imagine the actual situation that happened that day, and could picture Sage's attitude during the event.She must have been traumatized.Even though she always kept it cool in the eyes of the public, he knew very well that in such a circumstance when her life was hanging onto the thread, nobody would be not scared about it.If only he could be by her side during the moment. Mister Jace looked troubled and had mixed feelings about it, Zayne did not want to intrude, but there were some things that he had to say."Mister Jace, Miss Sienna came out of the hote
The car started shaking violently immediately after that. The vibration frequency was almost like that of a heavy duty machine, and a woman's leg was raised high up, the sole of her high heel shoe pushing against the windshield. "..."Zayne quickly paused the video, his heart pounding fast in his chest. He sneaked a peek at Jace through the corner of his eyes. Jace was still his expressionless self, there was not a single emotion seen on his face, except that his eyes showed contempt this time. Jace passed the phone back to Zayne, and said casually, "Save the videos and photos, they may come in handy in the near future."–Sage's life in Birmingham was busy but fruitful.There were lots of parties, balls, and dances organized in this city. She did not have the chance to attend so many social events back home, and decided to let herself loose in Birmingham to compensate for it. She wore a corset top and puffy dress, a fancy hat on top of head, and took off for the event in h
Madam Meyer was shocked, she turned around, only to see Tim striding over in the crowd's gazes. He was wearing a dark brown double breasted coat, a black checkered tie. His outfit complemented his prominent facial features really well, he looked classically dashing too.As soon as Catherine saw Tim, her attacking eyes suddenly went soft and gentle, her brows arching like they were smiling too. "Timothy…" She smiled and went forward, Tim's eyesight was however not diverted toward her for one single degree. He had his gaze fixated on only Sage, waved at her and said, "Come over."He looked calm, however Sage could tell there was a volcano hidden underneath his icy cold expression, he was obviously mad.Was he mad at Sage?Sage's heart suddenly started racing.She walked over obediently, and said softly, "Tim, why are you here?"Tim was usually too busy to attend social events like this. "I am here to look for you," Tim looked at her quietly, and said, "Had too much fun?""No
Sage raised his head in surprise, “Hey Tim, you know to say ‘nature’. Your language has improved.”Tim stopped talking. His lips pursed tightly into a line, and his azure blue eyes were fixated at Sage. As his stare deepened, Sage fell a chill down her spine.She lowered her head silently, not daring to joke around any longer.The atmosphere went silent all the way.Too silent.Even until they returned to the Meadow Castle, Tim remained indifferent of Sage. He got out of the car by himself.Sage also got out of the car in silence. She walked behind Tim with her head hanging low. The maids saw her returning to the castle and wanted to say hello to her, but they were stopped by her eyes and gestures.They went away in good spirits but were sent back in disappointment. The maids were clueless of what had happened.Judging by Mr. Shelby’s face, they dared not ask any more questions. They stepped back silently and worried about the young lady in secret.Could it be that the lady go
Tim raised his hand gently.In the blind spot where Sage could not see him, the corners of his mouth curved quietly.Sage, as if receiving her amnesty, quickly gathered her dress and rushed towards her room.The maid helped her to take off the tutu dress that harnessed her waist.Sage took three deep breaths. Donning herself in such a dress was a great torture for her. She wondered how those medieval ladies bear with such torture.She changed into a slightly looser and more comfortable long dress. She dared not keep Tim waiting for long, so she went back and continued to write her self-critique.At first, Sage wanted to take the opportunity to admit her mistake and beg for mercy. However, when she found that Tim’s expression was dark and sullen, she killed the thought.She decided not to touch this highly explosive entity for the time being, to avoid herself from being blown to pieces.It was better to keep writing the self-critique now.The three thousand words were an effort
Seeing that Sage was being so Frank, Tim did not get mad at her. He said lightly, “Even if he comes out, then what? You want to fight him to death, to the extent of risking Krissy’s life?”“I…” Sage found herself unable to choke out a word in protest at all.Tim raised his eyes. His blue pupils were cold and distant, “I thought that you have experienced a lot in the past few years, and your temperament has become a lot more stable, but I didn’t expect you to be so impatient.”Sage’s heart was instantly frozen.She was not afraid of Tim scolding her, but she was afraid of seeing him in disappointment.Even the slightest sign of disappointment was unbearable for her.“I’ve told you many times. Don’t be impatient. The enemy is in the dark, and we’re exposed publicly. What we have to do now is to keep a low profile. Let the bullets fly as much as they want, but don’t lose patience.”Tim’s voice became stern, “But what have you done? In order to catch Jekyll, you did not hesitate to
Sage was trapped in the Meadow Castle, as expected.Time was still angry at her, and she did not dare to further provoke him. The other brothers could not help her out, so she had to stay in the room quietly and be the little princess who was trapped in a big castle.She knew what Tim was angry about. For her, the most important thing was to avenge her parents. Be it Jekyll or Sean, she wanted neither of them to get away.However, for the other brothers, taking revenge was important, but her safety was of higher priority.For the sake of easing their minds, she should not risk her own life.After sorting out her thoughts, Sage’s heart settled down.Out of boredom, she thought about what would be a nice gift for Yale. Robert happened to get a good piece of jade from a friend’s jade market and he showed it to Sage.Sage saw the oval-shaped piece of jade and inspiration hit her. She immediately asked him, “How much is this? I want it!”Robert did not ask for her money, but he want
Sage heard of the saying, 'Marriage is for happiness, and so does divorce.'Based on Wikipedia, the definition of marriage was, 'Marriage is a long-term contractual relationship between a man and a woman based on equal consent.'Someone once said, 'Marriage is like a siege. Those outside wanted to break in, while people inside wanted to break out of the siege.'Sage and Jace had been through marriage once. In their first marriage, they were both losers. This time, they were both determined to win. They wanted to live their lives well. Even if their passion were to fade in the future, they would never leave each other. There were eight couples in line ahead of them. Sage and Jace were the ninth.Jace was eager for their turn. He counted carefully and then said with a smile, "It's nine again. It's a good day for this number."Jace suddenly came up with a good idea, "Let's have a daughter and call her Little Nine, okay?"'Did he just come up with that? How brave,' Sage thought and
The ninth of September arrived quickly.Sage was worried that Jace would not be able to get up on time, but Sage turned out to be the one who overslept. Sage had not slept all night because of a certain someone. She was so sleepy, while Jace was full of energy.Jace carried Sage to the bathroom to wash up and brush her teeth. "Open your mouth. 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. My wife is the prettiest in the world!"Jace did not care about the toothpaste foam all over Sage's mouth and kissed her anyway.Primrose opened the door and
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
'Electric drill? Seriously?!' 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. When he saw the couple kissing in the light, he suddenly raised his hand and hit his head.'I must be on the set… Who else would be so shameless as to kiss in public like that?' Dean thought.Sage finally calmed down after a long kiss. Jace breathed a sigh of relief and picked her up. He told Logan, "I'll leave the other guy to you!""Oh," Logan responded. Then he picked Dean up like a kid and walked out the door.Jace was tired and sweaty by the time he arrived at the hotel. Sage was already soundly asleep. Jace put her to bed and took off her shoes, socks, pants, and clothes. He stripped her clean.Sage drank a lot and was reeking of alcohol. Jace did not want to wake her up, so he did not carry her to the bathroom and bathe her. Instead, he wet the towel with hot water to
In the words of the commentators, the basketball game was very smooth. The national team played well! At last, the national team defeated the opponent team by a score of 106-73.The crowd was thrilled that the national team had won the game. The internet was buzzing with excitement too. There were several hot searches about the national team's victory. The topic #RisingStarJim made the headlines too.Sage had lost her usual composure. She was following the fans and shouting wildly, cheering for the victory.Perhaps this was the power of sports. It made the audience exhilarated and trembling with excitement. Jace looked calm on the outside, but he was actually quite excited on the inside.Sage was cheering in excitement. She jumped up and down like a child while hugging Jace. Jace followed and laughed with her too.They were planning to leave after the game, but Sage was really happy and stayed for the team's celebration party. Sage even asked Jim for his teammates' shoe sizes and
"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. He said, smiling, "It is. Basketball is all about teamwork. Small forward is probably the most versatile of the five main basketball positions and carries multiple functions in the game.
The next morning, Sage, Jace, and Dean went to the basketball arena for the World Championships after breakfast.It was the men's basketball world championship, where their country's basketball team was up against another country. By the time they got to the arena, many people were in the audience.The staff guided Sage and the group to their designated seat in the family section.As soon as Dean sat down, someone next to him called out his name. Dean seemed unsurprised by this. He even smiled and waved at them. After that, he gestured for them to be polite and silent. It was not Dean's first time watching his younger brother's basketball game live. Many of his fans knew that Dean's younger brother was playing on the national team. They especially came over to get closer to him. Some were Jim's fans too. They knew Dean was Jim's brother, so they would greet him.After listening to Dean's explanation, Sage's businessman side as the owner of Norah Entertainment appeared again."If
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. Sage and Jace lay flat on the bed after laughing nonstop. They opened up and improved their intimacy so much. As a result, their whole body and mind were very relaxed tonight. "Hey..." The two spoke in unison, exchanged a glance, and smiled again.Sage said, "Go ahead."Jace looked at Sage and muttered, "I'll say something, but don't get mad at it.""Just say it." Sage looked at him.Jace though
