Chapter 417

When Yeva heard that, she felt her heart had been smashed into smithereens.

“Julian, don’t you feel you lost your conscience for you to say such a thing?!”

Yeva was so angry that she almost fell down the stairs. However, she was caught by the men in black.
Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Julian, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

“I love you so much. If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have turned against my cousin, let alone ended up
like this today! You clearly were the one who coerced me to do all those bad things, but you’re actually
putting all the blame on me today! Have you lost your damn conscience?”

“You’re spewing nonsense. Everything was done by you alone. It was you who was jealous of Sage
and had ill-will. It had nothing to do with me.”

Julian denied everything thoroughly. Yeva glared at him. She desperately wanted to spit in her face. At
that moment, Sage gently clicked and played a recording from a long time ago. A familiar voice could
then be heard.

‘What happened that year… It was all Yeva’s plan, and she tricked me into helping her!’

Once they heard that it was Julian’s voice, and the matter back then was also mentioned, Yeva was
stunned. Even Julian was frozen in place.

‘It was Yeva who threw herself at me three years ago! I bet you had no idea that your cousin, who looks
harmless, is always jealous of you… In any case, she tricked me into asking you out on a hike as a
date, but I didn’t expect Yeva to be so stubborn.

‘She took my phone and used it to send you that message, but I didn’t know she wanted to murder you.
I didn’t turn up that day because she drugged me, and by the time I woke up, you were dead. For the
complete version, please rewind to chapter twenty-one…’ Julian’s voice and every single word he said



was clearly expressed in the recording. In short, he had put all blame on Yeva. He had taken himself
out of the equation entirely and had washed his hands clean.

As Yeva listened to it, she burst out into laughter.

“Turns out this is how you’ve been talking about me being my back… I was cruel, and I wanted to
murder Sage? It’s true. I was jealous of her, and I desperately wanted her to die. What about you then?
How innocent are you? Regarding the message to invite Sage for a hike, weren’t you the one who had
personally typed out every single word of it?



“Weren’t you the one who came up with the ‘Killing Sage’ plan? Clearly, you were the one who had
turned your unrequited love for her into hate. You couldn’t get her, so you wanted to ruin her! You,
Julian Jefferson, are a cruel and wicked person!”

With that, she leaned forward and spat at Julian.

After being gagged by the stinking rag for a few days, her foul-smelling spit sprayed all over

Julian’s face. For a moment, he almost threw up the dinner he had last night! Sage became tired after
speaking for a long time. “All that needs to be said has been said. We will be taking our leave now.”
She lifted her foot and was about to head out. Wilson had been in power for many years, and he had
never been so angered. His expression immediately darkened. “Sage, you come and go as you please.
Don’t you think you’ve taken the Jefferson family too lightly?”

Sage turned her head around and shrugged. “So what?” Wilson was speechless.

Jace had just walked out of his mother’s room, and he met his cousin, Faye, in the yard. Faye greeted
him, “Jace.” Jace looked at her exhausted face. “Mm-hmm. You’ve just gotten home from work?” Faye



nodded. “The director has asked me to chair an international conference. I am inexperienced, so I was
asked to stay back at the Institute of Interpretation, and I watched videos all afternoon. My head is now
just filled with all sorts of unfamiliar languages.”

Faye worked as an interpreter at the Institute of Interpretation at that time. When an international
conference and the institute were mentioned, Jace could not help but think of a specific person. As
soon as he thought of the person, Faye said, “Oh, yes. Jace, when I watched the video today, guess
who I saw in it? I saw your wife. Oh, sorry, I mean Sage!”

Faye’s face was filled with admiration. “She was a consultant that the Institute Interpretation had
specially hired in the past. She had chaired more than a hundred international conferences of various
scales. “Also, she knew more than ten languages. I was dumbfounded! I thought I had the wrong
person. Why didn’t you tell us that she knew multiple languages and was an interpreter?” Jace could
not help but smile miserably. He could only say that he had only learned about it a few days ago
