“How is it not terrible? I haven’t seen any bright spots in Javier’s resume or person!”“The one she likes now is me, so her taste isn’t terrible.”Jameson did not say a word. “...”Taking a deep breath, he prepared to grovel to Elijah. “That’s because her taste has become good now. You’re way better than Javier!”“Cut the crap.”Jameson scoffed coldly. “Get rid of him right now!”“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll call him immediately!“Oh right, do you want me to dismiss him?”Jameson’s eyebrows scrunched together. “When he came here, he told me that he was dismissed by the hospital because he offended some bigshot. Was that your doing?”“I don’t have that much free time.”Elijah rolled his eyes. “Most likely, those hospitals heard some rumors and were afraid to offend me.”He was silent for a moment as he held his phone. “You can continue using him. I won’t stand in the way.“But next time, remember that you must take care of anything to do with Sal personally. You’re not to let him i
The man’s doting actions and tone made Sally’s face redden.With her face pressed forcefully in his embrace, the girl’s voice was muffled. “I can take care of myself properly… I can even take care of other people very well.”“You only know how to take care of others and not yourself, yet you don’t find it embarrassing?”The man’s low voice was filled with affection.Off to the side, Evonne watched the scene before her and listened to these two’s conversation…‘Mother, I want to go home! I don’t want to watch this PDA anymore!’…“Hubby, just teaching Joan a simple lesson would be fine.”On the way home from the Summers Corporation, Sally sat in the car and spoke softly as she looked out the window.She was very afraid Elijah would treat Joan the same way Liam was treated.It was not that she was being blindly kind, it was just that she felt that Joan’s father was actually a very sensible man.Because Joan had fought with her, Joan’s father had given Sally the company; He had
When she raised her eyes, Ruth spat uncouthly. “Pooh! How unfortunate it is to see you!”Sally narrowed her eyes. Leaning on her crutch, she stumbled around her to leave.She could not be bothered to interact with her.Seeing that she was being ignored, Ruth gritted her teeth and chased after her. “Sally Summers, you don’t even have an ounce of guilt upon seeing me?”Sally was perplexed. “Do I need to feel guilty when I see you?”Was the one who should feel guilty not her?After all, Joan had targeted Sally over and over again, yet Sally had still spoken up for Joan in front of Elijah.“Looks like you really are heartless!”Ruth grit her teeth as she glared at Sally. From her perspective, if Sally had not had Blair behind her, she would have gone up and rushed her!Sally did not know why the gaze Ruth directed at her was filled with so much hatred. She could not be bothered to probe further either, so she turned to leave.“Joan Lewis’s family, right?”At the end of the corri
Sally and Blair hastily returned to the Moses house.On the journey back, Sally ran through countless ideas in her head regarding what she wanted to say upon seeing Elijah later.For example, she could return home angrily and point at his nose as she asked why he went back on his word. Did he not promise her that he would send Joan off to study abroad?For example, she could return home crying and interrogate him. Why did he bar Javier? He did not do anything wrong!She was filled with rage. She wanted to go back home and have an argument with Elijah that would shake the earth!However, once the car arrived at the door of the Moses house and she stepped out of the car, all of a sudden, her heart started beating like a drum.She had never lost her temper at anyone like that before.How exactly was she supposed to act in order for him to understand that she was truly angry?Would he just take her as a joke?However, she was really angry!Joan Lewis was not an ill person, and ye
Sally leaned on the sofa and sipped tea while she scrolling through her phone. She was doing her best to fight off the sandman.She forced herself to stay awake.‘I came here to pick a fight with Elijah! I did not come here to sleep!’In the end, despite her best efforts, Sally fell asleep on the sofa.Meanwhile, Pierre continued going through the reports with Elijah. Calvin Lewis had done a lot over the years to ensure that the company performed well. The elite team brought in by Elijah had worked overtime to organize all documents and data on the company's sales volume and achievements over the years.As the power behind the throne, Elijah had to equip himself with a comprehensive understanding of the company’s current standing within a day, so that Summers Corporation would win the bid against Moses Corporation that was due in a week."Wait a minute."Right after Pierre finished sharing one of the many reports, Elijah waved his hand.Pierre stopped talking.Elijah's tall
Elijah changed to a more comfortable position and leaned against the head of the bed. He looked at Sally's “fierce” appearance and a slight smile appeared on his face. "I’m an *sshole?"‘That is probably the meanest thing that this idiot can think of. How is she so innocent and cute?’Sally’s cheeks were bulging as she said, "Yes, you are an *sshole! Why didn't you take my advice and send Joan Lewis abroad to study? Rather, you shipped her off to a psychiatric hospital! Why did you have Javier kicked out of school? Why did you get him blacklisted? What did he do that was so wrong?"Unsurprisingly, she blamed Elijah for all the bad things that had happened to Joan Lewis and Javier.Elijah rubbed his eyebrows to ease the minor headache that he was experiencing."Why do you think that these two things are related to me?"Sally pursed her lips, stared at him, and said, "You almost killed Liam Bell."Elijah smiled bitterly. "Because of the previous incident with Liam Bell, you think
Sally frowned and said, "Those incidents must somehow be related to you. If you don't promise to spare them of their misery, I won't eat."Elijah was angry, but he could not help but laugh.‘As always, this girl is being stubborn and one-track minded.’He got onto the wheelchair gracefully and moved toward the door. "In that case, you’ll be starving for a while."As soon as Elijah's voice fell, the bedroom door slammed shut.Sally was hurt by Elijah’s words and actions.‘He... does not care about me?’An inexplicable and aggrieved emotion formed inside of her.Sally tried her best to stop the tears welling up in her eyes from falling.Why did she feel wronged? She should have known since a long time ago that Elijah married her not because he liked her.She was just a wife that he had paid for.She should have followed the plan and played the role of an obedient wife–one that served him three meals a day and took care of him for the rest of her life.She should bear his chil
Sally was a woman of her word.She said that she would not eat until Elijah gave in, and sure enough, she did not eat anything for the entire night.The next morning, Aunt Leigh came out of Sally’s room, frowning. "Sir, Madam still refused to eat anything."Elijah was deeply frustrated with the situation.‘Why is this girl being so stubborn?’He squinted and said, "What exactly did she say?""She said that..."Aunt Leigh chose her words cautiously, "She said that if you don’t admit to your mistakes and don’t agree to her request, she will starve herself to death..."After a sharp cracking sound, the fork in Elijah's hand snapped into two pieces.The whole villa was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop."Be my guest! She can starve herself to death then!"Elijah gritted his teeth and said, "Let’s see how long she can last!"He should cure her of her stubbornness!"Mad as a hornet."When Elijah's voice fell, Blair, who was wearing a dark blue top, picked up his spoon and
————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
