Jace ran over to Sage with lightning speed and pounced on her, dodging the oncoming
car. The both of them almost fell into the flower bed, but they managed to regain their balance.
Sage was not startled by Luna. She was, on the other hand, startled by Jace, and she almost twisted
her ankle. She frowned deeply and struggled to get out of Jace’s embrace Jace’s heart was thumping
in his chest. He let out a sigh of relief after making sure Sage was safe.
Luna got out of the car and apologized, “Oh my goodness, that was so scary. Are you guys okay? I’m
not sure what’s up with my car. It just started driving on its own…” Sage looked up coldly and said,
“You’re saying it started moving by itself without you touching it? Does it also have a mind on its own?”
“Right? I’m just as confused as you.” Luna, the driver who almost ran into someone, acted more
innocent and clueless than the person she almost ran into. She patted the car and said, “I don’t know
much about cars, not sure why it did that. I should bring the car into the workshop to see what’s wrong
with it.”
“Spare the workshop. Let’s go to the police instead,” Jace said coldly.
Luna and Sienna looked at Jace, surprised.
“W… what for?” Luna blinked rapidly.
“To turn you in for intentional homicide,” Jace said ever so coldly, without a single trace of warmth.
Luna froze in place, as she had not expected Jace to be so ruthless.
Sienna’s face was drained from blood. She said smilingly to Jace, “Jace, look at you. Why are you so
angry? It’s not that big of a deal.”
Yoel’s laugh had finally come to a stop after taking the medicine. The corner of his mouth lifted slightly
as he said in disdain, “Woah, now. How is running into someone with a car, not a big deal? Why don’t
you stand over there, and I run over you with a car?” “Mister Fulton, stop joking around.” Sienna glared
at Yoel and attempted to hold Jace’s arm, but he moved away.
Sienna’s hand hung awkwardly in mid-air, her face sunk in embarrassment. She saw Sage’s smug
expression and glared fiery at her. “Jace, we’re a family now. Why make things awkward for everyone?
Aunt Luna didn’t do it on purpose, Sage was the one who stood in front of the car, and the car
coincidentally had some minor problems and started driving itself, thus causing a misunderstanding
between us. Both parties are responsible…”
Sienna tried her best to convince everyone, but Jace did not bother to even look in her direction. Jace
said coldly, “Misunderstandings or not. We’ll pass the surveillance camera and dash-camera footage
over to the police for an answer.” Luna’s face darkened in an instant and brightened almost right away.
“Mister Fulton, Jace, seeing as I’m a public figure, please just save me the trouble. What benefit do you
gain from making this a big deal anyway?” Luna said, trying to convince Jace, “If we really do go to the
police, your father would be involved. He’s been really busy, and his health isn’t the best now. Let’s not
trouble him. I’ll apologize to Sage, okay?” Luna turned around to face Sage and said, “Miss Norah, I
apologize for scaring you with my awful driving skill.”
