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
This was the first time Sage carved out a small airplane sculpture using jade. The tiny airplane looked so adorable and cute in her hand. There were lights sparkling in her spirited big eyes. She reminisced the way Yale the Iceman looked on the plane when he rescued her and wondered how does he look like when he was flying the plane.As she imagined it, she spun the carving knife on the tip of her fingers. Her lips curled up and carved another two small people with the carving knife onto the plane. One of the people was flying the plane without any emotion on his face and the other one was sleeping soundly at the back of the plane."I'm really asking for it myself."She was really impressed with her creativity and started to imagine the expression on Captain Yale's face when he received the present. It might probably be the same expression when he accidentally ate something too bitter. She laughed out loud without actually making any sound.After the carving was done, she blew it a
