Chapter 404
Sage’s sarcasm made Sienna burn in anger. Sienna always assumed that she could easily pester Sage as she liked. Perhaps it was because of her first impression of Sage.
Since Sage gave off the impression of a friendly and soft person during their first meeting, Sienna never learned her lesson.
Sienna was not the only one angry. Even Luna was furious at Sage. She cursed, “Ha! She’s from the Norah family, but she’s so rude! It’s no wonder Jace divorced and disowned her.”
The last part was directed at Lucas. Lucas did not answer her. Instead, he said solemnly, “Don’t fight with Sage again. You won’t beat her.”
Then, he pulled his arm away from Luna’s hand and got into the car first.
Luna stared at Lucas’s back and felt a little lost. Somehow, she felt uneasy.
It was not the first time he had pushed her away. She wondered if she was getting too old for him. Somehow, it felt harder to keep his love… “Luna, what did Uncle Spencer say? Why can’t we beat Sage? If you didn’t stop me earlier, I would’ve fought her!” Sienna was angry and resentful. Her delicate appearance was just a facade. During her years of living overseas, she mingled with the girls there and fought a lot with others. She could easily teach Sage a lesson.

Luna lectured her niece with a straight face, “Enough! Are you trying to make things worse for me? Don’t come to me anymore if you can’t handle things calmly! Otherwise, you’ll drag me down when you fail!”
Sienna was unhappy with Luna’s lecture. She quietly thought in her heart, ‘Don’t you depend on a man too? How are you any better than me?’
Unfortunately, she was still weak and had no support. Her parents were not helping, so she had to rely on her Aunt Luna.
“I understand, Aunt Luna.”
When they got into the car, Hunter complained, “The Zelda family prides themself as a scholarly family. Why are the girls from the family so low and annoying? They’re so petty!” Sage was checking her work email on her tablet. Upon seeing Hunter’s intense anger, she chuckled. “They have nothing to do with you. Why are you so angry?” “I just can’t help but feel angry!” Hunter worked by Sage’s side for a long time, and he learned a lot. If he looked closely, he could easily tell the other party’s true colors in a short time.
Luna and Sienna were not very hard to deal with. They were just annoying.
“The Zelda family started off as a family of scholars. Their ancestors won many awards, but unfortunately, their descendants did not follow the family’s path. They wanted to expand into business and politics, but they wasted family’s fortune and declined.”
Sage massaged her temple and said faintly, “When it came to Sienna’s father’s generation, the family was nothing more than an empty shell. Unfortunately, he’s terrible at business management, and he owes a lot of debt.
“Therefore, he could only try to maintain the family’s image as a scholarly family while attempting to climb up again by forging alliances with powerful families through marriages.”
It was customary for wealthy families to ally by marriage. A prestigious family would strongly emphasize nurturing their young with elegance. Powerful families might not necessarily have to marry the powerful, but they preferred to marry a virtuous wife from a scholarly family to nurture the next generation well.
