Kane was dumbstruck by Sage’s response. He looked displeased, “What happened? Did
Jace bully you again? I can always put him in a gunny sack and beat him up again!” Sage replied
calmly, “There’s no need for that. Stop causing more trouble. I just hope he can disappear from my life
and never return.” Kane looked at his sister. She didn’t seem to be joking. “Weren’t you in love with
him? What’s going on?”
Sage stopped chopping the vegetables and looked up at Kane. “I’ve grown up. Love is no longer my
priority.” She smiled and added, “I love myself more than I love him.” It’s hard to love one person
forever. Sage became busier and more confident with herself these days, and she found something
new about herself.
She was rather talented in doing business. It was her life-her career. It was like the message behind
the ‘Queen of Hearts’ ring designed by Ada.
‘If you’re not his princess, you’re your own queen.”
The next day, Jace made a stop at the museum before heading to the office. The Yuriel Treasure
Museum, also known as the YTM, was the Yuriel family’s private museum. It was occasionally opened
to the public, and the old museum manager-Mister Mendoza-was friends with Grandpa Yuriel.
He used to work in the Department of Artifacts, and he started working at the YTM after he retired. He
watched Jace grow up, and their relationship is close as Jace took him as a master. Mister Mendoza
lovingly observed a rose lounge, and his eyes gleamed with delight behind his glasses. “That’s an
amazing rosewood sculpted lounge chair. Is this from the renaissance era?” Jace nodded. “And you’re
gifting it to me?” Mister Mendoza was surprised, yet he could not believe it. Jace nodded in agreement
again. Mister Mendoza sat on the chair and relished the comfort as he closed his eyes. “You must want
something really bad. How may I help you? Be direct.” Jace responded, “I want to know about Master
of Jade.” “Master of Jade… Ah, yes, I’ve heard of her return on the news.”. Mister Mendoza was quite
alert about what went on.
Zayne immediately asked, “Do you know the old lady personally?”
“No.”
Mister Mendoza shook his head and added, “Who told you guys that she’s an old lady?”
Jace’s brows furrowed.
Zayne’s eyes widened as he questioned, “Aren’t all masters old by now?”
“Yes, she’s a master, but it’s about her skills and experience. It has nothing to do with age.” The rose
lounge was exquisite, but it was not ergonomic. Mister Mendoza got up as soon as he felt his back
ache.
