After seeing the news, Yoel called Jace to scold him. "Are you out of your mind? You don't want either the shares or be the CEO? Aren't you Sage's little assistant when you prefer to be the executive CEO?"Jace replied remotely, "I want to be her assistant, but Zayne stopped me. He said I stole his job away from him."Yoel was out of words."Sage has too many assistants now. Even Henry and Zachary are her assistant." Jace said seriously, "I was too late to get in the line. So I can only be the executive CEO. It sounds better too."Yoel scoffed in his heart, "You look quite disappointed."Jace replied, "I am."Yoel's mind blew and refused to give any response.Jace said seriously, "Isn't that all girls want to feel secure? I failed to provide it to her previously. So in the future, I hope that I'll be the security she needs."Yoel did not know how to continue with the topic anymore. He hung up as soon as Jace finished talking. There was only the busy dial tone on Jace's end. He
As Sienna was done with her shower. she switched off the water. She looked at her body with multiple bruises and could not help but feel pity for herself. Then she touched the corner of her lips which was broken and sighed in pain.Dave was a temperamental man. She saw how gentle and caring he treated his wife. However, she did not understand why Dace was so violent at her. There was hardly a time when he show his soft side to her. During the intercourse, she struggled a bit because he hurt her but Dave slapped her in return and pinched her jaws, and humiliated her."What's wrong? Can't stand it? How many men did you get before me? How can you be a mistress when you can't even tolerate such little pain?" Dave stretched his hand and slapped her while smiling evilly. "You deserve to be bullied by man for being a greedy and vain woman. I'm the one giving you money now so do your job properly. You need to serve me well. Let me do whatever I want with you; let me hit and scold you. I don'
Dave told her to explain in detail.Sienna pursed her lips and told the story about her past with Jace. Naturally, she spoke from her point her view.In her story, she was a good girlfriend who broke up with Jace because she did not want to drag him into her troubles. After that, she bravely returned to her home country to pursue her love.She was Jace's childhood sweetheart, but the Norah family daughter snatched him away from her and went by the alias Sage Luz. After that, she even used her power to destroy her wedding with Jace.In short, Jace and Sage both hurt her. She suffered a lot and ended up in her current situation.Dave remained indifferent to Sienna's exaggerating narration and showed no empathy. After hearing the story from her side, he vaguely understood the real story.That explained why the Norah family's Miss Sage disappeared for three years. She ran to Nadeem City to marry Jace and became his good little wife for three years.The story was surprising and compl
Nadeem City had an antique market. During the past year, the Yuriel Group's antique restoration project was so hot and sparked nationwide interest in antique search. The elderly with nothing to do would come to the antique market and shop. If they found any treasure, they would bring it to the Yuriel Group's specially set-up appraisal office. They could earn some money for retirement if they struck gold. Previously, an elderly man bought a broken jade pendant for fifty dollars and sent it to the appraisal office. The Yuriel Group accepted it. As a result, he earned half a million!This was much more exciting than buying a lottery ticket!After the news came out, the antique market became more popular. Coupled with the elderly's word-of-mouth marketing, more and more people crowded the antique market. There were more buyers, so the number of stalls increased as well.The middle-aged ladies had a new hobby other than gathering together to dance. Now, they gathered together to identi
Sage deliberately brought Henry and Zachary to shop at the antique market for a reason. She wanted to teach them a few tricks and how to deal with people. They worked with jewelry and jade all day. How could they not know how to work on this? Unfortunately, these two brats were completely uninterested and almost ruined her bargains. She was so angry and chased them half a street.Jace smiled softly. "Don't mind them. They're still kids.""They're already in their twenties. How are they still kids?"Sage said, "When you're their age, you're already working in the Yuriel Group as a marketing manager. Besides, you've worked your way up from the bottom."Jace did not become the president of Yuriel Group right away. Instead, he worked his way up from the bottom and dealt with every department.Sage learned this after joining the Yuriel Group. Jace was better than her on this. After all, you would need real experience from the ground up to understand the difficulties of roles or departm
Jace's temperament was not the only thing stopping him from keeping a low profile. He was well-known in Nadeem City. It did not take long for someone to recognize him."You must be Mister Jace from the Yuriel family, right?"A stall recognized him and said happily, "Come and look at my side! I have all the good stuff here!""It's Mister Jace! Hey! I didn't expect to meet him in person."One man greeted Jace enthusiastically and acted exaggeratingly. "Look at my stall! If you see anything you like, just take it with no charge!"Someone next to him called him out."Howl Crawford, your stall is full of fakes. How dare you show them to Mister Jace? Don't dirty the important guest's eyes.""Get lost! What fakes? I got all these from all around the world! They're treasures! I don't know if they're fake or real, but they're certainly good things!"The stall vendor was a young man in an ordinary plaid shirt and scruffy jeans. He looked like he did not wash his clothes in a long time.
"Howl, do you know why your business is so bad now? Your asking price is too high."The owner of the next stall that mocked him earlier continued to belittle him. "I've told you to set your prices lower. Aren't you embarrassing yourself in front of Mister Jace now?"The young stall owner Howl refuted, "I've told you before. Everything in my stall is a treasure. They aren't cheap. I'd feel bad if I sell them too low." Jace wore a soft smile and turned his head to look at Sage. "Is there anything else you want?"Sage said, "I want them all." Her tone was light.Jace nodded and turned to Howl, "Mr. Howl, please wrap them all up for me at the price you quoted earlier."Howl was stunned in silence, and so was everyone else. Everyone around was dumbfounded.Someone quickly calculated mentally, "All these combined are almost half a million dollars, right?""Four hundred and seventy-six thousand dollars. Let's round it up to four hundred and eighty thousand dollars. The remainder will
Jace looked at Sage's possessiveness over the fan and laughed."Alright, alright. It's yours. It's all yours."His dark eyes dazzled in the daylight. It reminded her of the black pebbles in a clear river. He smiled softly. "I'm yours too."Sage's face flushed red in silence. What was wrong with Jace? How could he casually say such shameless and flirtatious words without even thinking?!The cell phone rang at the right time. It was Zachary who called. He said he found a good restaurant and the food was on the table, so they should hurry over.""Okay. We'll be right there," Jace ended the call and told Sage, "let's go and eat. Aren't you hungry? Have more food later."Sage was a little distracted. "I'd rather see the treasures I just bought than eat."Jace's eyes flickered. "Shall we…"Sage urged, "Let's go! Quick!" She ran impatiently. Jace looked at her excitement and let out a muffled laugh. He smiled again.Sage turned her head to him and urged, "Hurry up! First come, firs
