Yeva was not aware of the fact that her room was under surveillance, nor was she aware of the fact that Sage was watching her every move and listening to every word.Luther could not help but exclaim, "I thought that you were ruthless, but it seems that your cousins are no weaker than you, especially Yeva. You have treated them well and have always shared good things with them, but this is exactly like the story about the snake and the farmer. Who would have thought that they would have turned on you? It is true that some people don't deserve to be treated nicely"Sage had watched enough. Turning off the video, she said indifferently, "It's not too late. Now that I've seen her true colors, there's no need for me to show her mercy.""Yeva is exactly like her father: both of them extremely jealous and resentful. She resents people who have it better than her, but I don't think the same could be said for Leah." Luther added, "I don't know about her, but I do know that ever since your

"Huh?"Hunter was taken aback by Jace's question. He wondered why Jace had wanted to know Sage's age. Jace had sounded serious. Hunter had no choice but to try his best to recall her age. "I think ma'am is around… twenty-four or twenty-five this year."Jace's eyes shot wide open.If Sage was indeed twenty-four years old this year, then she would have been fourteen ten years ago.'Could Sage truly have been the girl that had been abducted?’ Jace thought to himself.Jace felt his chest tighten. As if struck by lightning, his ears began to ring as memories washed through him.Regaining his composure, Jace made a call to Yoel. As soon as Yoel answered, Jace asked bluntly, "Do you remember the secret mission at Cloud Forest ten years ago?"Yoel had just returned to Riverside City and was in the middle of a discussion with his father about the horse racing track. At Jace's question, he was slightly taken aback.Pausing, Yoel replied, "You mean the mission where we were sent to save

Yoel was plunged into disbelief and shock after he had heard Jace's assumptions. "So, you're saying that Sage had married and taken care of you for three years so that she could repay your kindness. She did that because you had saved her ten years ago?" "Yeah." Jace was rather sure that this was the case."Goodness gracious." Yoel slowly came back to his senses, but he was still flabbergasted. "It's like a scene right out of a drama. How is it possible that a woman would still think of marrying a man as a form of repayment?" "I don't think she did it just because she wanted to repay me."Jace narrowed his eyes. For some reason, he was reluctant to think that Sage had married him only for the sake of repaying his kindness. He then told Yoel what Finn had told him earlier.Trying to calm himself down, Yoel drank some tea out of his father's teacup, but as soon as Jace mentioned that Sage had a crush on him for ten years, Yoel spat out the tea.Yoel's father, who had just gott

After dinner, Yeva showed up in the study room with Leah.Sawyer Norah had designed the room to his taste, quaint but comfortable. On one side of the wall was a shelf filled with books. Another side was a wall written with a significant phrase, [A man of his own words].There were a lot of antique vases and Victorian paintings in the room. Yeva and Leah had seen these accessories in their fathers' room, but they were never allowed to touch them, nor did he teach them the value of those accessories. Both of them were laymen.Sage was flipping through a book while she casually listened to Yeva started reciting the house rules.Yeva did not put much time or effort into memorizing the rules. Yeva had reluctantly tried to memorize some of the rules because she knew she had to face Sage today. As she only started memorizing the rules at the last minute, she could not remember firmly and stuttered as she recited."You're done?" Sage looked up from her book slightly when Yeva suddenly sto

The door was not closed all the way. It was as if Sage had purposely left it open for her.Entering Sage's room, Leah said softly, "Sage, are you still awake?""Yeah."Closing the book in her hands, Sage sat upright, straightening her back, and looked at Leah. "Anything? Come on inside."Leah, dressed in her cotton nightgown that looked thread worn from overwashing, walked over to Sage. Leah felt restrained as she took careful steps across the expensive carpet as she did not wish to dirty it."Come, sit here," Sage said to Leah. She handed her a shawl. "I don't usually switch on the heater, so it might be cold for you here. Take this and wrap it around yourself. I don't want you to catch a cold.""Thank you."Leah thanked Sage politely and sat upright in the chair with her hands placed on her knees as both her legs were pressed against one another.Sage could not help but chuckle at the sight of Leah's careful behavior.Three years ago, she had learned from Leah how to behave
