Chapter 293

Jace was labeled and identified as one of Sage’s brothers’ biggest enemies. Yoel thought
that Jace stood no chance at all.

Speaking of which, Yoel wondered if Jace knew it was Sage’s birthday today. As his rival, Yoel had no
plans of informing him.

Jace just got off a flight. Getting into a car, he headed straight to Bridge Lane.

He was once again back in Salem City. He had mixed feelings. It was as if every time he returned,
there would be some changes to his relationship with Sage.

Just as her identity changed; the distance between the both of them increased little by little.

The first time he returned, he found out that his gentle and loving ex-wife from the countryside was the
lady of the Norah family, the wealthiest family in Salem City.

He demanded answers from her at Skye Hotel to which she replied coldly, “Sir, do I know you?

The second time he returned, he wanted to work with her on the racecourse project. When he finally
got to meet her at the Norah Group, she stared at him coldly, indifferently, and asked, “Partner with
me? Sorry, but who are you?” That was the third time that he visited Salem City. Would she still reject
him like she used to?

Looking at the birthday present that he prepared for her, Jace hoped that Sage would be kinder to him
even though his gift was not as grand as those that she used to give him back then. At the thought of
this, Jace could not help but pull into a bitter smile. He never expected himself to do so much for a lady
just to win over her heart.





Sage kept receiving notifications from the group chat in the messenger app. Her brothers started
arriving at Salem City. [I’m making my way there now.] Sage sent a message into the group chat as she
walked toward Tasteful Restaurant. The restaurant was quiet as Sage booked the entire restaurant.
The place was decorated nicely and as soon as she stepped foot into the restaurant, she was
welcomed warmly, “Ma’am, happy birthday!” The staff members cheered.

Sage smiled, “Thank you.”

Hearing the commotion outside, Jim walked out of the kitchen. At the sight of Sage, his eyes lit up and
he beamed. “Sage, you’re here!” Sage looked especially beautiful today,

Her hair was dyed back to a black color and her long hair was braided, accessorized with a rhinestone
tassel headband. She was dressed in a sleeveless long dress that wrapped around her body perfectly.
She exuded elegance and sophistication. “Are the dishes ready?” Sage asked as she walked into the
kitchen. Jim approached her suddenly and Sage felt something being placed in her hand. Slightly
startled, Sage realized that it was a necklace with a smiley pendant. Taking a closer look, it was Jim’s
smiling face. “It’s your birthday present. Happy birthday.” Sage felt warmth welling up in her heart.
“You’re only a student, why did you spend so much money on getting a present?” “It’s not expensive.”

Jim shook his hands and replied shyly, “The necklace is made from pure gold. I’m not good with my
hands, so I kind of damaged a few necklaces before managing to come up with this one. I hope you
don’t mind.” Holding the necklace in her hand, Sage looked surprised. “You made this yourself?”
