Chapter 51

The earlier episode did not affect Sage's mood.The fashion magazine, Timeless, had organized a charity dinner at Crowne Suits. As this country's fashion industry's leading magazine, the invitation to the dinner event was highly sought after among well-known figures and artists.Even though Sage had received an invitation, she did not bring the invitation card with her. With Luther accompanying her, she was able to enter the venue without a problem. Sage became the center of attention as soon as she entered the venue. On the red carpet, an emcee was interviewing several artists. The artists were flashing brilliant smiles at the camera as they were interviewed. After the interview, they would sign their names on the board and get their pictures taken. Sage, on the other hand, walked past the red carpet and politely declined to put down her signature.The crowd of reporters noticed the beauty and elegance that Sage radiated, and they assumed that she was someone well-known and reput

This time, Jace was the one who started the conversation."I have come."His voice carried hints of gentleness. For some reason, he sounded like an apologetic husband approaching his wife after a fight. Raising her brows, Sage found the situation somewhat strange.'I've made myself clear to him that we should treat each other as strangers the next time we met. So, why is Jace acting as if he is on familiar terms with me?'"Sorry, but do I know you?"Sage simply glanced at him nonchalantly, turned around, and walked away.Jace was left alone. Staring at Sage, who was leaving, he compressed his lips into a slit.He felt a weight settle on his shoulders, and he heard Yoel's chuckle. "Damn, wasn't it embarrassing? I feel for you."Trying his best not to laugh, Yoel went on, "This is not how you get a lady, especially not your ex-wife. You were the one who abandoned her and with an 'I have come'. Are you expecting Sage to come running back into your arms? Do you really think that

Everything happened in a split second but Sage could not completely avoid it.Before Sage could move away, she was being pulled aside. Losing her balance, Sage fell into the arms of the person who had yanked her out of the way. She crashed into his chest. She immediately felt a piercing pain in her nose, almost tearing up.As he was in a hurry, Jace did not hold back and yanked her into his arms a little too vigorously. Sage's head was resting against his chest, and she could hear clearly the beating of his heart next to her ear. Thump! Thump! Thump!  It was an unfamiliar feeling to Sage.For a moment, Sage was stunned.She had been married to Jace for three years, but he had never touched her. This was the first time that she had been this close to him.Sage, of course, had imagined what it would feel like to be in Jace's arms. She thought that it would be comfortable and warm, but his chest was as hard as a rock.'Has he been working out a lot? Why are his abs so hard?'Feel

He still could not get used to Sage being this sharp-tongued.He had always remembered Sage as a well-mannered and well-behaved woman. Being short-tempered, he used to lash out at Sage, but she had never gone against him. She had merely silently born his anger.However, the woman standing in front of him looked nothing like the Sage who he had once known. Instead, she looked ill-tempered and more menacing than him."Weak and frail? Who are you referring to? Sienna Zelda?"Jace's questions managed to drag her mood down into the slumps.Even though Sienna had lied to him, humiliated him during their wedding, and had proven to him that she was not as naive as he thought, to Jace, Sienna was still the most important person in his life.Sage did not want to talk to Jace anymore. After all, there was nothing left to say. Scoffing, Sage simply smoothened her hair and walked away.She could not bring herself to be in the same space as him. She was worried that she would make a fool of h

Sage had one rule that she had always stuck to when dealing with such matters: Avoid taking matters into your own hands. With Yeva, she was willing to spend time "teaching" her since Yeva was her cousin. However, she had never wasted her time on outsiders as they were usually not worth the time nor the energy. This time, Sage was in a horrible mood, and the woman was rubbing salt into the wound. Hence, Sage had no intentions of turning a blind eye this time.The venue was rowdy. Music blasted through speakers, and the chatter of guests filled the hall. At first, no one had noticed the commotion, but as the chatterboxes screamed and yelled at the top of their lungs. They acted as if they had never witnessed such scenes. Thanks to the ladies, Sage who had always kept a low profile found herself in the center of attention. Guests were slowly gathering around them.The lady, who Sage had dumped wine on, was the only one who was not yelling. She was still in shock. Tasting wine in h

"What's going on here? What's all the fuss?"Luther and Yoselyn who were entertaining guests were informed of the commotion and had quickly made their way over. Pushing through the crowd, Luther's chest immediately tightened when he realized that Sage was involved. He only felt relieved when he had made sure that Sage was unharmed."Luther dear! " The internet influencer's face lit up when she caught sight of Luther. She hoped that he would back her up and alluringly attempt to lean on him.Luther immediately stopped her and said, "Look at this mess. You stay away from me!"The woman had worn a white dress to the event. After Sage had splashed her with wine, her dress looked as if it had been stained with blood, making her look frightening. Faking wronged, she started whining and accusing Sage, "It's all because of this woman. My friends and I were just talking to each other when she suddenly charged at us and threw red wine at us! Luther, Miss Yosie, how dare she cause a scene d

The ladies who caused a scene had been kicked out of the event, but nothing had happened to Sage, the person who had thrown wine on them. Sage had wanted to leave, but both Luther and Yoselyn stopped her from leaving. Luther tried to cheer her up and said, "There, there, let's not be upset about it now. During the auction later, let me know what items you want, and I'll get all of them for you!'With his arm draped over Sage's shoulders, Luther continued, "The next time something like this happens, would you please first inform me before taking matters into your own hands? What if you hurt yourself? How do you expect me to live with the fact that you had hurt yourself?"The crowd was perplexed by the interaction between Sage and Luther.The guests were trying to wrap their heads around the nature of Sage and Luther's relationship. Some of the guests were aware that the Norahs and the Bennetts were on friendly terms with one another. They were, however, unaware of the finer details

To most of the guests, the dinner event was coming to an end, but for Sage, this was just the beginning of the event.Sage did not regret the incident that had taken place earlier, but she did feel guilty. Therefore, she was prepared to fully support Yoselyn's auction as a way of compensating for her earlier actions. The guests were ushered into a smaller hall for the auction. Sage sat in the front row as usual, but the normally bright lights had been dimmed in an effort to prevent any pictures from being taken and leaked to the press. It would be troublesome to remove her photos once they had been posted on the net.The host showcased the items that had been donated by the guests for the auction. Sage had not brought anything for the auction, so she donated the emerald necklace she was wearing."The first item is a pair of jade bangles donated by Miss Yoselyn Bennette. Do I have a hundred thousand dollars?""Two hundred thousand dollars!"Three hundred thousand dollars! Going o

Chapter 59

So far, with the sale of more than ten items, the auction had garnered only five million in sales, but Sage's necklace was valued at seven million dollars. People who did not know the ropes craned to see the owner of the necklace, but as Sage was seated beneath the dimmed lights, the crowd was only able to catch the vague form of her silhouette. "The necklace… What in the world is a Columbian emerald? Why is it worth so much?"The crowd started whispering between themselves.Those who were a part of the industry could not take their eyes off the glimmering emerald stone. The astronomical price though prevented many of them from purchasing the necklace though they desperately wanted it. Jace's gaze flickered to Sage. He recognized the necklace right away. It was the one she had worn during dinner. Yoel seemed to have realized it too and said, "Eh, isn't that the necklace that Sage had on earlier? Wow, she offered the necklace for the auction just like that?"Auctions that wer

Julian had phrased the retort to be as harsh as possible to deter people from further making fun of him. Scoffing, Julian buttoned up his suit. Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the auction master say, "Eight million dollars!" The crowd gasped and exclaimed in surprise.Julian felt his legs go weak. He immediately looked back and saw an attractive man dressed all in black holding up a sign. The man was even smiling smugly at him as if he was provoking him."Who is that?" Julian asked his friends.One of his friends gulped before replying, "I think it's Yoel Fulton, the youngest son of the Fulton family of Riverside City."The auctioneer continued the bid in an attempt to see if anyone was willing to offer a higher price. "Ten million dollars," said a man with a low voice. He was seated next to Yoel, and he was holding up his sign. Suddenly, the hall fell silent. Julian glared furiously at the man who was sitting in the corner. He could not see the man's face clear
