Chapter 439 Ross slowly recounted his side of the story, “When we arrived at Nadeem City, we sawhow different you were. It was as if you were a completely different human being. Like you weretamed, you were no longer the troublemaking sister that I remembered.” Sage felt her throat go dry,and her face started burning up, who knew that Ross and Tim saw her back in Nadeem City.

“Back then, they were probably laughing at me,” thought Sage to herself. “We saw how you tried toplay the role of a good wife. How you tried your best to make him comfortable. That very moment Ifelt an uncontrollable rage arise within me, if Tim didn’t stop me then, I would've probably gotdown from the car and brought you home,” said Ross. Ross felt the rage within him even when itwas something in the past. “Your brother said something that I didn't understand.”

"What did he say?” asked Sage.

“He said you had it coming,”answered Ross.

Sage was speechless. She suddenly felt that everything seemed so meaningless. Sage slumped intothe seat and said, “Tim never told me that before,”

Ross glanced at her, “We knew that you wouldn't take it well. All of us knew that you deserve better,but we also know how far stubborn you were.”

Sage immediately had a flashback of how her mother used to tell her that nobody other than herbrothers would tolerate her because of her stubbornness and how she would never replace a husbandif she stays the way she was.

Of course, Sage was not convinced back then, she told her mother that she would only marrysomebody who could love her for who she was. If not she still had her brother who would takegood care of her.

Jace turned to his driver and said, “Go to Yuriel Treasure Museum.”

Behind the door to the museum, a voice inside pass the door, “Who is it?" “Teacher, it's me,”answered Jace. As the door swung open, Mendoza said, “Why are you here?” Mendoza let Jace inand closed the door behind them. After that, they continued in the museum guided by the light ofan oil lamp. Mendoza stifled a yawn and answered his question,

“I know the jade is important to you. That's why I'm here looking after it.". The pieces of jade were ina safe. The safe is more secure than the safe in banks. There were only two keys to the safe, one is inMendoza's hands, and the other in Jace’s. Mendoza opened the safe and the pieces were still layingin the safe. Even if it was a broken piece of jade, under the amazing technique of Wayne, Jace couldalready see an astounding piece of jewelry in the making. “Only if Sage would take part as well,"thought Jace to himself.

The very thought of Sage made Jace moodier. Mendoza standing by Jace could feel Jace wasn'thappy, “Why are you staring at the jade like it's a woman. Do you miss her that badly?”
