A Relentless Pursuit for Love

Chapter 245

Wolves were spotted regularly in that forest; police assumed that the body had been taken away by the wolves. Since they had only managed to find some torn fabric along with some blood stains that had proven to be Sage’s after the DNA test, they concluded their search.

Leah could not and would not believe that. She almost flipped the whole forest inside out looking for Sage; she wanted to see the body with her own eyes, dead or alive. Leah’s feet were filled with wounds and blisters, she eventually passed out in the forest due to a high fever from the infections that were festering in the wounds. Even though Sage’s body was never found, her father and Uncle Braxton rushed to hold the funeral just so they could get a share of the assets that were left to Sage by Uncle William.

“I’ve given you the title of CEO already, and now you’re trying to have the Rosa Garden all to yourself? You can’t just take everything and not share, that’s selfish!” Zane slammed the table as he exclaimed grudgingly.

Braxton responded insistently, “One pain, one gain, Brax. I contributed the most to William and his wife’s accident. As for Sage, it was my daughter, Yeva who did the most. I’m just taking what I deserve. What you have now is more than enough.”

“Oh, you ungrateful prick. If it wasn’t for me risking my life to mess with their car, we would’ve never succeeded.” Braxton scorned in disdain, “That alone wouldn’t mean sh*t if it wasn’t for me, our brother and his wife aren’t stupid, I had to bribe their driver, and also made arrangements with the other party in order for it to succeed. I was the one who paid and risked it all, it’s only right for me to receive the most benefits.”

“Fine, you know what? Take it. I won’t be staying in the Rosa Garden anyway, seeing as how eerie is.”

Zane eventually came to a compromise, but with a condition. “I don’t care about anything else, aside from Norah Entertainment. I’ll take over the management, since it’s what I’m good at anyway. I used to tell William to give me the COO title, but he refused! Otherwise we wouldn’t have to go this far…”

“Fine, I’ll give you what William couldn’t. Since we’re family after all.”

Braxton’s face darkened as he said, “Our dear father thought the two of us weren’t good enough, so he adopted an outsider and gave him everything he owned. He even lied to us about the outsider being his bastard child, bullsh*t! I can’t believe I bought that sh*t and treated him like an elder brother!”

“I genuinely used to treat and respect him as our eldest brother, too. But look at how he treated us, all I asked from him was an antique chinaware, how expensive could that be? He just wouldn’t give it to me.”

Zane said in disdain, “Say, he could’ve had a decent life, why did he have to push us this far?! What were we supposed to do anyway, it’s not like we had a choice!”

“It’s all in the past now, let’s move on from it.”

Braxton raised his hand up to stop Zane from going on and continued, “After Sage’s funeral is done with, we’ll take back our inheritance. All movable and immovable property will be split in halves between us. I’ll take the Rosa Garden, you can take the house in South Town. Don’t say I didn’t treat you well.”

“That’s what I’m talking about, you’re the best.”

Leah kneeled before Sage and narrated the whole conversation that she heard that night to Sage. Leah even wrote everything down in her diary shortly after that as she was afraid that she might forget

about it. “If you don’t believe me, I can show you my diary entry from that night…” Seeing as Sage was so calm and without a single shift of expression, Leah assumed that Sage did not believe her and was about to go get the diary. Sage chuckled coldly. “Of course I believe you. To be honest with you, I’ve read that diary before.”

Leah froze in astoundment.

“What?”

Sage looked at Leah, her eyes were cold as the Antarctic, her tone dead as the still water.

“Why do you think I faked my death and supposedly came back to life? In those three years of my absence, I collected every single detail and proof, enough to send Braxton and Zane Norah to jail.”
