Sage looked at Jace who had a shocked expression on his face, and said calmly, “Mr. Yuriel, please don’t lay it bare.”‘That is her painting!‘What else do I not know about Sage?’ Jace thought shockingly.Jace tried to suppress his astonishment and curiosity as Sage stared at him silently. Sage was a woman full of surprises. He might look stupid if he continued to be in shock as he learned new things about her.This was no normal painting. It was replica art, and it was not something one would tell everybody about.Sage knew Jace was full of questions. Jace looked lovingly at the painting and touched it carefully as though it was fragile to touch; Sage felt that he looked rather funny.Sage opened her mouth, “It was a painting I did in my childhood. It was about 14 years old. I went to an art gallery with my father. I fell in love with Mr. Dunford’s poetry. To me, this poetry signifies come what may. We don’t have to be afraid even we are faced with the worst situations in life.”

Even though Jace had gotten used to Sage's coldness, he still could not bear with her use of harsh words.“Meeting a lady?”Jace was all confused and asked, “Me?”Sage leaned back and looked up with that cold, distant eyes again. “Nothing to be ashamed of. It’s pretty common to have friends with benefits. But being a two-timer? Bit unethical, don’t you think?”'Old habits die hard. If he can still be involved with Sienna when they were still married, there’s nothing he wouldn’t do now that they’re divorced.''One disloyal episode and you’re out. The rule applies to everyone, including friends, employees, or even ex-husbands.'Jace thought long and hard about who she was talking about and finally realized who the pretty woman was; he asked “You mean, Suki West?”“Ah, so that was Suki West. She’s gorgeous. I thought you only liked innocent-looking girls like Sienna. You have a pretty wide range when it comes to girls,” said Sage lightly.Jace’s lips tightened. He looked solemn.

Sage immediately told her driver to turn back to Bridge Lane.She had Zayne stay on the phone so she could secure their location. Sage knew Salem City inside-out. She found them not long after Zayne informed her of the approximate location. She brought Hunter and the others to rush over, too.Jace was lying on the floor with blood all over when she found them. Blood ran down his face, and his cheeks were badly bruised.Upon seeing Jace, Sage’s felt a sharp tug on her heart, and her pupils constricted.She couldn’t believe Jace was so seriously wounded. 'Who has the right mind to do this to him?!'“Madam, you’re here!”Zayne’s face looked pale as he held Jace in his arms frozen. Zayne was so worried that he could hurt Jace further and he wouldn't be able to forgive himself!He had already called for an ambulance and the cops, but Sage managed to arrive earlier.Sage rushed towards Jace, and her face clouded over as he asked. “Who did this?!” “We don’t know,” Zayne shook his he

Sage’s diagnosis was accurate. Jace only looked badly wounded, but all of his wounds were superficial.Kane only told the guys to beat him up lightly. He was also worried that the Yuriel Group would come after him. Though it was just superficial wounds, Jace might not just let that incident slide.Sage hated that Kane did this without her consent. She hated trouble and Kane always got her into it. 'Did he think my life is too easy in Salem City?'She was also puzzled about Jace. Jace was in the special forces and he could’ve fought back. Sage looked at Jace with her hands crossed and her face frozen.Jace had woken up and was dressed in a hospital gown. He wore a bandage on his forehead, and his face was pale as a ghost. Few hours before, he was still an energetic man who would quarrel with Sage and then he became a patient.“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jace sheepishly asked Sage, “I look pitiful, right?”Sage said coldly, “Not as pitiful as you were three years ago.”

Fighting noises were heard transmitted from the private room. The girls outside were terrified as they heard it while silently mourning for Sage.‘Does she know who she’s up against? ‘Wait a minute. This doesn’t sound right.’“Hey! Hitting your own brother for a jerk? Are you out of your mind?”The girls outside were all staring at each other in disbelief. ‘Who is the one yelling? Kane?! Does that woman dare to lay her fingers on Kane? Is she courting death?’ they thought. Luther was calmly taking videos of them from the door. His expression was pained as he saw punches after punches Sage threw on Kane's face. He then sent the videos to the group chat.The others sent in an emoji of candles, with a message, [Hold on, Kane!]Luther lifted Sage away from Kane moments later as he warned, “Can it now. He’s going to die if you continue punching him.”A whole 5 minutes later, the room was quiet once again. Sage sat on the couch, and Kane had ice on the corners of his mouth. He look
