Chapter 364

Uh…

Sage chuckled and said, “My father…was pretty straightforward, huh?”

Wayne responded, “Not just that, he was a thoughtless boy. At that time, I thought the boy would grow
up to be successful, seeing as how odd he was, so I brought him home with me. I told your uncles that
he was my son from another woman and had them treat him like their own big brother, and they did.
Who knew that they’d bully him behind my back. However, your father was not someone that would
tolerate bullies. He fought back and won.”

Sage said straightforwardly, “But they held grudges against him.”

Just like Yeva did.

All Yeva had in her heart werē grudges throughout the year.

Wayne said calmly, “Yeah.. not long after your father moved in, I started teaching Braxton and Zane
carving. Both of them didn’t like how it hurt their hands and never took it seriously. Your father, on the
other hand, came to me by himself and told me he wanted to learn. I gave him a piece of white jade
and a carving knife, and he started carving himself without saying another word.

“His first work was pretty good. Even though he cut his finger open and bled so much blood, he didn’t
utter a word of complaint.

“Not only that, he even took over the rubbish Braxton and Zane did and revived them. I was so
shocked!”

Wayne was overwhelmed with emotion as he recalled the past.



“After that, I noticed that your father had a huge potential for jade-carving, so I named him my official
disciple and started teaching him. Besides jade-carving, I also taught him about antiques.”

Wayne started feeling emotional as he continued, “I was glad to have your father by my side those few
years. I was less lonely for sure. I taught him everything I knew without holding back. Slowly, he got his
name out there and started becoming more successful. Thus more people came to visit, and that was
when our uncles started becoming jealous. They blamed me for playing favorites, and the bond
between the siblings started to break as well.

After that, they overheard my conversation with your father and learned that he was not my biological
son. They became even more displeased and started verbally attacking your father for no reason at all
other tha

At that time, your father met your mother, and your uncles were bullied by your mother as well. So they
started holding grudges toward her as well and tried to do something to her, but your father caught
them and punished them.”



Wayne sighed, “It was true when they said you could tell what a person is going to grow up to be based
on their personality as a child. However, it was also my responsibility as a father for not raising your
uncles right. It was my fault for ignoring their red flags because I felt like I owed it to them and
eventually pushed them to commit the crime. I knew they had something to do with your parent’s death,
but I was too afraid to think about it, let alone face it, which is why I’ve been running away from it all. I
ran for three whole years.”

“My darling.” Wayne uttered with his tear-rimmed eyes, “I know deep down, you blame me for it too,
right?”



Sage shook her head. “In my heart, a man should be responsible for his own crime. There’s no such
thing as blaming the parents for not raising their children right.”

The pair understood each other’s hearts without having to say much.

Sage got her straightforwardness and rashness from her parents, and she was never the sort to leave
words hanging. Since things had already gotten to that point, might as well just spill everything out.

Sage went from sitting to kneeling. She said to Wayne in a serious tone, “Grandpa, I don’t care if my
father is your biological son or not: Just as he treated you like a father, I’ll treat you like my own
Grandpa. I’ll tell you the truth now. I know my uncles worked with someone and murdered my parents.
That’s a fact. I have enough evidence, and I don’t plan on letting them off easily. The reason I haven’t
been doing anything about it was because I’ve been waiting for you. Before I submit them to the
authorities, I want them to pay for what they did.”

Wayne had prepared himself mentally for that day, “What do you plan on doing to them? Do you want
them dead?”

Sage shook her head, her face cold as the Antarctic.

“Death is too easy on them!

“I want to witness their downfall. I want them to give back what they had stolen from my father!

“I want them to pay for their crime and spend the rest of their lives in prison with nothing but agony and
regret!”

Sage knelt before Wayne and looked up at him, her hands on his knees. “Grandpa, you lost a son, but
you still have a granddaughter. I’ll take care of you, and when the time comes, I’ll be there for you.”



The tears that had been circling in Wayne’s eyes had finally fallen. The one thing that he had been
running from had finally concluded.

As you sow, so shall you reap.

The incident during the wedding ceremony had been viral on all media, and the Jeffersons had become
famous throughout the whole country.

L

Yeva’s fall during the wedding had also been made into all sorts of internet memes with various
captions.
