Chapter 415

Yeva’s throat was dry. For a moment, she was unable to produce any sound. After a long
time, she called out with a hoarse voice, “Sage…”

The way she cried was packed with emotions. She was covered in tears as well. Even Hunter, who was
next to her, was stunned as he stared at Yeva. Was it because she had been through enough
hardships outside that she became sensible? Did she know how to respectfully address others? Sage
was not as emotional as Yeva. She also did not let Hunter untie Yeva immediately. Instead, she simply
stood there and calmly asked her, “Do you want to leave with me?”

Almost without any hesitation, Yeva nodded like crazy. “Yes, yes!”

Sage replied, “You have to think it through. If you leave with me, Julian will not want you anymore.
Whether you want to keep the child in your belly or not is entirely up to you, but from now on, you will
no longer have any relationship with the Jefferson family. The position of Julian’s wife will no longer be
yours as well.” When she heard that, Yeva had a slight sense of hesitation. There was no telling if she
was directing it to Sage or herself, but she asked, “If… If I were to stay, would the position of Julian’s
wife still be mine?”

Sage seemed to have heard the most hilarious joke in the world. She smiled mockingly and asked,
“What do you think?”

Yeva pursed her lips. She did not want to admit it, but it was apparent that the b*tch, Queenie, was
more capable than her. She clearly was a sl*tty vixen, but Julian was eager to be stuck with her as if he
had been drugged. It was just like what Julian had told her. “Queenie is prettier than you, has a gentler
personality, and knows more tricks. Why should I choose you over her? What do you have that is
worthy for me to forgo a whole forest and only dote on a common weed like you?”

She had been together with Julian for three years. She never expected to be just as worthless as a
common weed in his eyes in the end.



Once she thought of that, she felt especially heartbroken.

However, she knew that Julian and Queenie would not let her go. Queenie also had a child in her belly,
so she absolutely would not let Yeva deliver the child in her belly smoothly. Yeva had watched plenty of
period dramas involving power struggles, so she knew all about the

routines.



Even if Yeva delivered the child, the Jefferson family would also want to only keep the child but not the
mother. In the end, she would still not be able to get anything, so why would she bother?

In the few days that Yeva was locked up, she felt like ages had gone by. Plenty of things that

did not make sense to her in the past suddenly did. She also saw through Julian’s heart. He may have
liked Sage or Queenie, but he had only used her since the beginning.

Julian never liked her.

It was all wishful thinking on her end.

Yeva bit her lips and nodded while crying. “I have thought it through. I will sever all ties with the
Jefferson family and leave with you.”

The attic was insufferably hot and stuffy. Even staying there for a second longer would make them feel
suffocated.

Sage did not want to waste time talking to her anymore, so she said bluntly, “It’s not that easy to leave
with me either.”

Yeva raised her head in surprise.

“To be honest with you, I never wanted to meddle with your petty matters. It was Grandpa who missed
you, his ungrateful granddaughter. He was the one who asked me to come. It is entirely out of respect
for Grandpa that I am here.” Sage’s expression was cold. “However, I remember every single nasty
thing you did to me in the past. I can’t forget them.” Yeva’s heart sank. At that moment, she was most
afraid of Sage settling scores with her, cruelly leaving her behind, and not caring about her.

“W-What do you want?”

Sage’s tone was casual and calm as she replied, “Seeing that you’re still pregnant. I won’t let you hurt
yourself to ask for my forgiveness. I’ll make it simple for you. You just have to bow deeply to me three
times and promise that you’ll do as I say from now on. If I ask you to go right, you aren’t allowed to go
left. You will also have to go along with whatever I say for everything and serve me like you’re serving a
master. Then, I will rescue you out of here.”

Yeva was speechless as she suddenly widened her eyes. “Y-You’re just hitting me when I’m down!”

“Yes, I am.”

Sage admitted it very openly. “It’s up to you whether you wish to die at the hands of Julian and Queenie
or live in a living hell in the palm of my hand.” Yeva was speechless. How could she pick?
