Chapter 490

Jace could not understand why they diverted the question to him. It came so sudden, and
it stunned him. He gave Mendoza a look, thinking, ‘Are you messing with me? How am I supposed to
answer that?’

He had Mister Norah on one side and Sage on the other side. He must not offend them. A sudden
silence loomed in the air. Jace smiled softly and said, “Let’s share the benefit. The money will stay in
the family.” Unexpectedly, Wayne and Sage’s faces sank simultaneously after he said that. They said in
. unison, “Who’s your family?” Stop messing around! Jace chuckled and faced the trouble. He said,
“Isn’t all the money Mister Norah earned all yours, Sage?” Well, that was true. Wayne snorted and said
arrogantly, “Yeah. That’s it.” Sage did not expose Wayne’s true intent. She was not bold enough to tell
the real reason in front of so many people. Wayne agreed to collaborate on the project and demanded
half of the project’s profit because he wanted to get justice for her. It was an additional compensation
from Jace for the divorce. She could not afford to embarrass Wayne and herself. Sage put on a serious
face and said firmly, “That’s what I meant too.” Wayne and Sage looked at each other and quickly came
to a mutual agreement. They acted like nothing had happened and changed the topic immediately.
“Grandpa, your flower painting is amazing. That’s as expected of you,” Sage flattered Wayne with
praises.



. Wayne had a kind smile. “Your pine branch painting is great too. You’re better than your father. You
have learned well.”!! “Thanks to you for teaching me well.” “There’s that, but you’ve put in the effort to
learn. Sage, you’re talented and hardworking…”

The grandfather and granddaughter’s interaction was a warm scene. Mendoza squinted and pouted at
Jace. “Do you know what you look like now?” Jace lowered his eyes and refused to answer him. He
knew Mendoza had nothing good to say.



As expected, Mendoza smiled teasingly and said, “Someone who’s stuck in a difficult position because
you’re unable to please any of them.”

Jace was lost for words.

They spent a full day at the Yuriel Treasure Museum. Sage enjoyed her time working on the jade and
discussing with Wayne and the jade carving masters about repairing the broken jade pieces. If they
disagreed on something, they would get into a heated discussion, quoting the classics and talking
about past and present. People might mistake their discussion for a literary exchange meeting. The
jade carving masters did not dress elegantly or luxuriously. However, they were all masters at their own
specializations. They were knowledgeable and might have a deeper understanding of history than a
history professor. One’s academic qualification and status had never been the standard to measure a
person’s depth of knowledge. Money and status were insignificant in front of true knowledge.

The trip was worthwhile for Jace too. He had decided against the majority and advocated the Forget
Me Not project. Thinking about it again, he had indeed made the right decision about the project.
