Chapter 834

At that moment, Laura felt like she was the third wheel, getting in the way of Sage and
Jace. She got angry and stood up, “I‘m leaving!” “Hey, don‘t go.” Sage pulled her, “You haven‘t seen
your old comrade for a while, aren‘t you going to talk about the fifty–cent coin?” Laura looked at Jace
through the phone from the corner of her eyes. Ever since the video call got through, Jace had only
been focusing on Sage. She snorted, “Forget about it. Our combat relationship is not worth fifty cents,
even three cents are too much. It‘s enough for me to know that he is alive. I wasn‘t too sad when he
was dead anyway. You two may continue with whatever was going on just now.”

Jace replied, “Bye–bye.”

Laura was once again speechless. She pointed her finger at Jace, “You‘re not the only one who has a
lover!”

Then she turned her head away and went looking for her lover. Sage chuckled and lamented,” What a
shallow combat relationship you two have. Are you really such a person to value sex over a
relationship?”

“Yes.” Jace said very proudly, “I learned it all from Yoel.”

Sage looked askance, “You should learn something good instead of bad things.”

Jace replied, “Is there anything good that I could learn from him?” “Well... I guess not.” Sage thought
for a while, “Only his face, I guess. He is quite a handsome man... I think.”

“Oh?” Jace lifted his brow, “Who is more handsome–looking? Me or him?”

Sage stared at Jace for three seconds with her mouth opened and closed it again after three seconds.

The sun was shining bright early in the morning and it created an illusion that it was a natural filter.
Jace stood there against the sunlight with a black color tracksuit. There was a facial towel hanging on



his shoulder. His shaved hair was covered with a layer of sweats and the word, Sage, was shimmering
on his head.

‘Why does he always looks like he is glowing?‘ Out of a sudden, Sage suddenly thought of Iron Man.
She accidentally choked herself with her saliva because of the insane thought.

“I guess I‘m your cup of tea.” Redness climbed onto her face and the temperature on her face rose.
She rolled her eyes, “bBe humble.”

Once she called him that, she remembered a serious business matter. Immediately, she put on her
business look and said, “Oh, yes. I need to talk to you about the retrenchment of Yuriel Group... Since
you‘re back, I can give Yuriel Group back to you now.”

Jace answered, “You did a good job being the CEO. I think you should continue.”

Sage frowned, “Jace, what do you mean?”

“I

”

“That reminds me! I have yet to settle with you after everything that happened.” Finally, the volcano in
Sage‘s heart erupted. She sat on the couch with her leg crossed and stared at Jace with a serious
face. Then she started with her complaint, “What were you thinking about writing that will? Leaving me
with the house, gifts, and all of the share of Yuriel Groups and making me take over to become the
CEO of Yuriel Group?! I was really speechless. Did you even ask for my permission? You left
everything to me so you have nothing to do with it anymore. Do you think that it was a cool move?”

Jace tried to speak, “I...”





“You what?” Rage rushed through Sage‘s veins, ‘I‘m telling you. That was really irresponsible of you!
That‘s not how it works. Who do you think I am? I‘m your ex–wife, not your wife? You don‘t have to
leave anything for me. Do you think I care about your inheritance? Not only that, you even wrote letters
to me saying... And what sort of letter are those? Three letters in fact! Do you think you are some sort
of romance novel author? Those lame writings of yours! I‘m telling you I wasn‘t touched at all when I
read it. I was laughing so hard like it was a joke! I laughed so hard that tears streamed down...”

As she scolded, she reminded herself of the three letters. Her nose suddenly started to itch.

Across the screen, Jace focused his vision on Sage. “I‘m sorry,” he said.

“D*mn right you should be!” Her eyes turned red with anger. She gritted her teeth and scolded, “Jace
Yuriel, you‘re a jerk! A terrible jerk!”

Then she hung up the phone. Her hands were shaking so she clenched them into fists. Once again,
Jace video called her again.

Subconsciously, Sage wanted to reject the call but she accidentally accepted it. Looking at Jace‘s face
appearing before her again, she reprimanded, “Was that not enough?”

“I‘m sorry, Sage,” Jace apologized again. He put on a serious face too. “I know that you are mad at me.
And I know that you had a lot to carry while I was away. It was part of the tradition

for the Yuriel family to write a will to avoid unexpected things to happen. When I wrote the will and that
three letters, I was thinking of leaving something for you if something bad happened to me. I didn‘t
have a lot and had nothing much to give. That‘s all I had that I wanted to give to you.”

Sage stared at him and said nothing.

Jace curled up his lips, “Don‘t worry. Since I‘m back now, I won‘t allow you to carry the burden.



“Then why did you ask me to continue being the CEO for Yuriel Group?” Sage reprimanded,” Do you
know how tired I was when I had to manage the Noral Group and Yuriel Group at the same time?
Sometimes I honestly wished that I could split myself into two!” Suddenly, she felt the excruciating
hours she had to sacrifice for the two companies. “I know, I know. I was wrong. I‘m back now.” Jace
quickly comforted her as his face was filled with worry. “What I mean is you can keep the share of
Yuriel Group and the CEO position. I will be working for you, and I will be your assistant. I will do all the
hard and dirty work. All you have to do is be a boss. What about that, boss?“.

Sage burst out in laughter. “No way! Who is your boss? I already have an assistant.”

Since Sage laughed, Jace felt more relieved. The muscle on his face becane less tense. He switched
the phone to another hand and said, “I know you already have an assistant. But my ability is far better
than the combination of Hunter and Zayne. I alone can cover the work of multiple people. You just need
to pay me.” Sage asked, “I need to pay you?”

“I‘m fine with no money too.” It was up to the point when Jace did not stand by his principle anymore.
“I‘m fine as long as you feed me food.”

“Cut the crap and stay hungry.” Sage stared at him. Her temper cooled down a little. Everything was
negotiable as long as Jace would become the CEO of Yuriel Group again. Both of them discussed the
recent retrenchment issue. Jace said, “There is a more urgent matter than that.”

Sage asked, “What is it?”

“Those photos and the gossip.”

Sage frowned. If Jace did not remind her, then she would have forgotten about those photos on the
internet. It was about time to deal with that.
