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?”
Quirinus’ brows knitted themselves together tightly. “Why are you…” His men had assured him Elijah Moses was still asleep in his room when he arrived! How could he…“Why am I here?” Elijah smiled calmly as he walked over, sat down beside Sally, and pulled her into his arms. “If my wife is meeting with a man I hate, I’m going to be there to watch no matter how much I feel like resting.” Then, he reached an arm out and picked up the test results Sally had placed on the coffee table. He scanned them carefully. Thus, the man smiled. He raised a hand to pinch Sally’s nose gently. “I genuinely thought you were pregnant, you mischievous girl.” Sally smiled somewhat bashfully but did not say anything. Quirinus frowned and finally paid attention to the test results in Elijah’s hands. Elijah threw the test results to Quirinus. “Mr. Banks, I think you should take a good look at these.” The results were not for a pregnancy test. Instead, the results showed Sally’s hormone le
Stunned, Quirinus was about to return the call when Elijah laughed and said, “It’s pointless.” “Mr. Banks, do you think I’ve only been working on Sally’s memory loss lately?” “You underestimate me.” The man cradled Sally gently as he stared at Quirinus with eyes as cold as the North Pole. “But here’s what you don’t know.” He retrieved a stack of papers from behind him and tossed them to Quirinus. “From tomorrow onwards, the Banks Corporation is going to be called Moses Corporation.” “Your father has already signed the contract and transferred all his assets to me.” Quirinus’ eyes widened rapidly as he hurriedly flicked through the contract. In it… was indeed the old man’s signature! He sat down dazedly on the couch. “How is that possible… “I’m his son…” “This is what your dad told me.” Elijah pursed his lips slightly. “He said you’re the most unreliable person in the world.” “He said that if Yvette can’t find a good husband, and if you have a death wish, he mi
Bennett might have been alive for half a century, but he worked out regularly and took care of his health. Thus, Quirinus had no way of attacking back after he began hurling his punches. When the first punch landed, blood spurted out of Quirinus’ nose and spattered onto Sally’s hand. Sally was stunned when Quirinus’ still-warm blood landed on the back of her hand. It took her a while to realize it was blood. Raising her head instinctively, she saw that Quirinus' face was hurt. Quirinus might be young, but he rarely worked out and had a thin, weak frame. Bennett looked like he was holding a newborn chick when he held Quirinus up.Elijah took the hand that had Quirinus’ blood and helped Sally wipe the blood away with a tissue he had with him. Then, he raised his head and said, “Respectable father-in-law, I’ll take Sally away first.” Bennett, who was still beating Quirinus up, frowned and turned around to take a look. It was then that he realized his movements were too violent
When the man placed her in the car, she finally clapped a hand to her forehead in understanding! What she had just said… She had wanted to reclaim some shred of dignity and say the lengths of their legs were influenced by their pants and skirt. However, the man must have thought it was an invitation for something else… When she remembered the tone of his voice and the look in his eyes… He must have thought she was making some excuse on the fly, which was why he had smiled so evilly and sounded like he was going to laugh when he spoke! She buried her face in her hands when she thought of that. What was she going to do… She seemed to have dug her own grave… Just then, Elijah opened the door on the other side of the car and got in. He was sitting on her left side, and his body temperature seemed to heat the air and boil her face. Sally felt as if her face were burning up. “Why’s your face so red?” Suddenly, the man turned and swept his gaze across her tomato-red fa
The newly-appointed chauffeur who was sitting in the driver’s seat carefully covered the car’s windows and lowered the shield in the car. The backseat of the car was turned into an isolated space. Elijah gently lay Sally down as he kissed her. Sally’s brain was throbbing. The kisses he gave her stimulated her lips and sent endless signals to her brain. These signals seemed to trigger a lot of her memories. She closed her eyes without meaning to. Scene after scene appeared in her mind. She saw herself blushing as she held Elijah’s photo and spoke to a middle-aged man. “Uncle, I’m willing to marry him.” She saw herself signing a contract in front of an old man and then smiling at that old man as she said, “Don’t worry, Grandfather. I’ll keep my promise!” “I’ll do my best to bear Elijah’s children!” During a simple wedding, she curled her hands into fists as she stared stubbornly and solemnly at Elijah. “Don’t worry. I’ll do my best to give birth to your children!”
————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
