The email listed Javier’s requests in great detail. 1. After thinking about it, he had realized that returning to Summers Village to help Sally restore her memory was going to be a procedure that took a long time. Thus, besides the two million dollars he had asked for, he wanted Elijah to stack on an additional three million dollars, rounding the total to five million dollars. 2. He wanted to buy a house in Summers Village. After all, he had no place to stay after he returned to Summers Village, and he did not want to sleep in a hotel. It was for a long time and asking for a house did not seem like overkill. 3. He still held a grudge over what Elijah had done to him all those years ago. Although Elijah had given him a verbal apology, he did not feel it was enough yet. He wanted Elijah to post a Twitter thread no shorter than 500 characters explaining how he was a good person, and that everything that had happened back then was all Elijah’s fault. Sally rubbed her eyes vigorousl
Sally pursed her lips. “I heard that.” She had heard how the obnoxious voice from just now matched Javier’s voice in her memories. That’s right. The voice that belonged to the bookish Javier in her memories. However, both past and present Sally would never have imagined that she would one day hear this soul-sucking voice again and that she would hear it speaking in such a rude tone whilst making such demands. Javier began yelling again before Sally could answer. “Make Elijah Moses understand who’s the boss now!” Sally, “...” That sounded even less like what Javier would say. Sighing deeply, she spoke calmly to Joseph. “Get ready. Send me the address. I’ll be right there.” Joseph pursed his lips. “That’s not a good idea, is it?” “You…” He walked to a quieter spot as he spoke. “Sir will never agree to it.” “I’m in charge today.” Sally smiled. “Don’t worry. I’ll bear responsibility for anything that happens. Elijah won’t blame you.” Seeing how that was what his b
Sally did not know what to say in return for Joseph’s reasoning. She walked behind him for a while before she finally said, “The Javier Yates I know, is not that kind of person.” He was a kind, caring person who gave her his old textbooks because he knew her family was poor and could not afford to buy those books. He would even notice when she seemed paler than the day before and ask if she was on her period. In Sally’s memory, Javier Yates was a gentle, perfect person that everyone was fascinated by. However, Joseph was describing Javier as a vile, manipulative character. The Javier in her memories was not like that! She still refused to believe it although she had heard his voice during the phone call just now! The only way to make her believe it was for her to witness Javier’s change with her eyes! “But Madam, people change.” Joseph sighed. “At least for me, I wasn’t able to tell that Javier Yates is an intelligentsia even after spending a whole day with him.”
“Elijah Moses, I know you think that you’ve done me a great favor by checking me out of the mental institution, apologizing to me, and returning me my money.” “But don’t forget. If it weren’t for you in the first place, I would never have been locked up in the mental hospital, nor would I have become the person I am today!” Sally’s heart skipped a beat. Javier had been hospitalized because of Elijah? She pursed her lips. “Really? I would have forgotten that I was the one who got you locked up if you hadn’t brought it up.” “Of course!” “It was just a small matter in the first place. Was keeping me in a mental hospital for five to six years really necessary?” “And your sister. Your sister had me beaten up, and she broke both my legs. If it wasn’t for my strong willpower, I would be a disabled person now!” Sally’s grip on the microphone tightened. “Well, why don’t you take a look at what you’ve done?” “If it really were a small matter, I would never have had you locked u
“Madam, are you sure?” Joseph frowned and asked as he pinned Javier beneath him. Sir had previously told him that Javier was extremely important in helping Madam regain her memories. Thus, although it was Sally who had made the request, Joseph did not dare send Javier back without making sure. After all, that man was a manipulative creature. If he did not get his way this time, he would become even worse and demand even more the next time they got him out of the mental hospital! “I’m sure.” Sally let out a long sigh. “I don’t need him even though I can’t remember anything now.” Her heart ached for Elijah. Since when had a man like him succumbed to pressure? Since when had he allowed anyone to string him along? Had he disregarded everything and set aside all his principles just because the only person she remembered was Javier Yates? To him, nothing was as important as she was. However, she would not allow Elijah to grovel and suffer. Even if it was for her.
Joseph frowned and deliberated for a long time. Finally, he nodded as Sally stared intently at him. “I promise.” “I would protect you even if it weren’t for Sir!” Then, he twisted Javier around and passed him to the bodyguard standing nearby. “Send him back to the mental hospital.” When he was done with Javier, Joseph turned to look at Sally. “Madam, where are you planning to meet this person?” “Right here. Sally looked around her surroundings. “Help me make preparations. I’ll invite him out right now.” Joseph stared at Sally before saying, “Alright.” —————— Sally called Quirinus after Joseph had left. Although she knew he was a dangerous person… There were some things that only she and Quirinus could take care of. “Sal, why the sudden phone call?” Quirinus’ voice was tinged with laughter when he answered the phone. “What a miracle. Elijah Moses has allowed you to contact me?” “He can’t control me now.” Sally laughed coolly. “If you’ve placed spies ar
Joseph’s face was pale as he stared at Sally. Sally did not seem to notice as she rolled her eyes. “Clumsy.” “Get out if you can’t even pour tea properly!” Joseph had an uncomfortable expression on his face as he pursed his lips and walked off. When he was gone, Sally continued smiling as she gazed at Quirinus. “Do you think I should give birth to this child, or should I abort it?” Quirinus did not even look at the test results before he arched an eyebrow and asked, “You’re asking me to decide for Elijah Moses’ kid?” Sally continued smiling at him. “It’s not his kid. It’s your kid.” “You can take a look. The fetus is less than a month old.” “Everyone said I slept with you around half a month ago so that you would give Elijah your shares.” “Elijah has not touched me in that way ever since I regained my memory.” “Based on my calculations, the child belongs to you.” She smiled at Quirinus. “I’m planning to birth this child. Then, we’ll also take our first kid Rohan w
Because although she and Quirinus were the only two people in the room, the couch they were sitting on and the bottom of the table had been bugged. The fountain pen she had pinned to her blouse also had a pinhole camera in it. In the next room, Joseph and his other men were live broadcasting both the audio and video of Sally’s conversation with Quirinus to the media companies that had spread rumors about her. Thus, Sally purposely repeated what Quirinus had told her several times. “So, you were lying when you said we had slept together and that we had once been in love?” Quirinus laughed. “Hasn’t Elijah told you all this already?” He picked up his cup and took a sip of tea from it. “If you can tell me right now that you want to be with me and that you want to leave with me, I’m more than willing to take you with me.” “But what are you trying to do by faking your pregnancy and lying that you want to leave with me?” “Are you going to kill me while I’m not paying attention?”
————One year later. The wedding of Zoey Williams, president of Yoder Corporation, and Thomas Yoder, the young master of the Moses family, was held at A City’s grandest hotel. On the wedding day, Zoey wore a gorgeous wedding gown as she walked over to Thomas. She raised her head and smiled at him. “When I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.” “However, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.” “Who would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freya’s younger brother. As per her wishes, I’ll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.” Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. “My beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.” Freya, carrying Frigg and sitting with the rest of the family, turned to exchange smiles with Bennett. The wedding was joyful and romantic. Everyone attending basked in the loving atmosp
“If you destroy everything I have, then I’ll destroy everything you have!” Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, “If it weren’t for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!” “It’s all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. I’ve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!” “Sally Summers, it’s all your fault! Everything is because of you!” “I won’t forgive you even if I become a ghost!” “Alright then, go be a ghost!” Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenie’s chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. “Elijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!” “If you can’t choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!” “Your sister is just one part of my plan!” “You probably don’t know this yet.” Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, “You are…” “I’m the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.” She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the woman’s face turned increasingly paler. “You have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.” “We just met the other day.” She shook her head as she spoke. “It makes sense, though. It’s only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.” “Forgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you don’t have many days left.” “When you’re gone, he’s going to leave his daughter and marry me.” The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, “Impossible… That’s impossible…” “Quincy, he…” “Nothing is impossible.” Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the woman’s face. “Look, I’m pregnant.” “How could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences don’t exi
“In your dreams!” Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. “I wouldn’t want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!” The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. “You’re going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?” “You planted your seed in my stomach.” Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. “So, what do you want?” “Let’s meet up.” Queenie yawned. “Can you pick a place?” “There’s a cafe nearby the hospital.” Quincy sighed. “I don’t have much time for you, so don’t try talking nonsense after we meet.”“What a man you are, trying to ghost someone after you’ve slept with them.” The woman shrugged nonchalantly. “Alright. You can wait for me. I’ll be there soon.” She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. “Why do you want me to meet her?” “You’ve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.” “This time, Quincy, you’re the bait.
The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincy’s skin. Intense pain came, but he did not seem to feel a thing as he continued pushing. Suddenly, a large, strong, and dry hand took hold of him. Quincy frowned as he tried to continue forcing the knife in, but he could not exert any more strength. Elijah’s cold voice rang beside his ear. “Do you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?” “Have you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?” Stunned, Quincy turned instinctively to look at Freya. The woman was sobbing controllably. As she gazed tearfully at him, it seemed that she had multiple things she wanted to say but could not find the words. Tears flowed once more from Quincy’s eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. “It’s my fault.” “It’s all my fault!” “Freya… I can’t live without you.” “I cannot… I…” Freya could not stop herself from wr
After Freya was hospitalized, Quincy canceled all his work plans and spent all his time in the hospital watching over her. Although she never let him in, and although he could only ever gaze at her through the window from afar. However, he insisted on not taking even a step away from her ward. He stood guard there stubbornly, and no one could talk any sense into him. Both Elijah and Thomas could not bring themselves to chide or drive Quincy away when he acted this way. And thus, Freya finally agreed to meet him on the seventh day. The woman’s face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincy’s eyes when he saw what his beloved looked like from a close distance. It was all his fault. It was all his fault! He had caused her to end up this way! All because of him!“Is there anything you would like to say?” Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sally’s lips pursed themselves together when Freya’s name was mentioned. She would admit that she had had a horrible first impression of Freya when they first met. The woman had stripped nearly twenty years of Zoey’s life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sally’s mother during her and Elijah’s wedding. However, times had changed, and five years had passed since then. Sally could not bring herself to be cruel toward Freya, who now showed complete remorse. Additionally, she had treated Sam and Little Sarah with genuine kindness lately. Sally had begun to think of her as family. Yet, now, something like this happened. She sighed. “Freya…” “Freya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.” Freya’s illness was in her heart. The sort of illness she had made it so that she could not be made angry, excited, or frantic. If not, not e
Evonne and Sally were slurping instant noodles when Elijah and Thomas arrived at the doctor’s on-call room. They were starving and had virtually no energy left. The only thing in the room they could use to fill their stomachs was instant noodles. When the door opened, Elijah frowned slightly when he saw his petite wife steadily making her way through a pack of instant noodles. The man strode over and grabbed her bowl. “Unhealthy stuff.” Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. “I don’t care if it’s not nutritious! I’m hungry… Hubby?” The emotions in the woman’s eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijah’s neck and jumped into his arms. “You’re back!” “I missed you so much!” He had been on his ocean trip for more than half a month. They had never been separated for so long since getting back together. The signal on the sea was spotty, and she could never
When Sally finished suturing the last ruptured blood vessel in Freya’s heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. “It’s steady! The patient’s heartbeat is steady again!” The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it weren’t for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! “Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!” “Of course.” A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, “How did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?” The young nurse’s mouth widened in surprise. “In that case… why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?” The senior doctor sighed. “I guess they have their reasons…” In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. “Dr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?” Sa
