From her understanding , Mister Paul had not reached the age of retirement. On top of that, the Yuriels
had always been kind and generous when it came to paying their maids and servants. A servant with a
high position as Mister Paul would definitely be treated well in their old age.
Retiring back home did sound like a decent decision. However, it was just the equivalent of a company
asking its employee to tender resignation to preserve the employee’s dignity.
Mister Paul was an honest man, but he could also be cunning, especially considering his close
relationship with the Zeldas. The fact that Sienna was able to move into the Yuriel Mansion so easily
was partially because of Mister Paul.
However, how could Jace get rid of Mister Paul so easily, the same man who was partially the reason
Jace and Sienna got together? Could it be that Jace really had no feelings for Sienna anymore?
Sage laughed to herself internally, and she could not be bothered with any of it anyway. Those things
had nothing to do with her anymore. After settling the minor matters, it was time to move on to the
major ones.
Ross looked at Melody coldly and uttered under his breath, “Do you want to come home with me, or
would you like me to punish you right here?”
Melody was at a loss for words. That was like asking her if she would rather die now or later at home.
Even if she were to go with him now, she would receive the same treatment. At least in the Yuriel
Mansion, Brother Rich could protect her. If anything, they could even die together. That itself was
another type of romance… ‘I am done for either way!’ Melody thought. Melody said chokingly, “I’m not
going with you.” Ross’ anger was once again activated. He glared fiercely at his daughter as if he was
saying,’ Fine, I’ll grant you your last wish’.
The corner of his eyes lifted slightly as he opened his mouth to utter, “Mister Jace, I hope you don’t
mind me punishing my daughter in your residence.” Jace looked down at Melody. She stared at him
with widened eyes as if she was going to ask for help but immediately changed her mind after that. Her
face sank in an instant as if Jace was her enemy. Such an odd woman, it was no wonder she was able
to capture Yoel, that playboy’s heart. Jace said calmly, “Go ahead, Dr. Samuel.” Jace left the scene
quietly.
Yoel was about to follow Jace when Jace turned around and said to him, “Aren’t you staying to protect
your girlfriend?” Jace was stunned upon hearing that.
‘You’re doing it on purpose, aren’t you?’ ‘Pick a better time to joke around. You’re making things worse!’
‘Do you think there’s not enough sh*t on my plate right now?’
Yoel thought silently, just as Ross said coldly to him, “Mister Yoel, please stay. There are some things
I’d have to clear with you.”
Yoel’s heart was dead at this point, and he knew he could not escape that. He managed to utter forcibly
with a smile, “Sure.”
Yoel flipped the bird internally to Jace, who was just watching it unfold for his own entertainment.
Jace was unbothered. He looked at Sage, who was sitting on the sofa. There was a second where he
felt like they were still a married couple. As if… nothing had changed.
It would be great if things had never changed, wouldn’t it?
