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

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

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

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

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
