“I keep thinking that Seth’s motives aren’t pure.”

The corners of Elijah’s lips curled upwards slightly as he gazed lovingly at the woman on his screen. “Are the strawberries fresh?”

Sally pursed her lips and picked up a strawberry to stuff into her mouth. “Quite fresh.”

“I’ll have Joseph buy you more if you like them.”

“Don’t change the subject.”

Sally pursed her lips and used her bright eyes to glare at him. “I’m talking to you about Seth. Don’t think I’ll get tricked just because you’ve changed the subject!”

A smile appeared on Elijah’s chiseled, defined face when he saw the huffy look on the woman’s face. “Looks like you’ve matured a bit.”

“No kidding!”

Sally pursed her lips. “I’m already a mom to two kids. Of course I’m very mature now!”

“Very mature?”

Elijah smiled wryly but could not be bothered to expose her. “I can’t tell you too much about Seth right now.”

“Why?”

“Because you’re too close to Evonne.”

Elijah picked up his coffee cup and took a sip fro

    Thomas’ first meeting was surprisingly successful. Thanks to the presence of his assistant, Seth, Thomas could manage to answer any question the shareholders threw at him no matter how tricky they were. After that meeting, there might be some people who were still unconvinced of Thomas’ abilities, but they were definitely convinced of Seth’s abilities. Some even invited Seth out for a cup of tea when the meeting ended. However, Seth turned down all of their invitations in front of Thomas. “Their motives are clear.” After hanging up on the fifth person who had called to extend an invitation, Seth smiled as he poured Thomas a cup of tea. “I went to cause a scene at your wedding, so a lot of people think our relationship is not as indestructible as it seems.” “They’ve naively assumed that you won’t have such a smooth journey after they stir up trouble in your relationship with me,” Thomas nodded solemnly. “It’s not just them who think that way. I’m thinking the same too.”

    “What good news?” “You managed to subdue the shareholders who wanted to make things difficult for you on your first day of work. Don’t you think you should let your uncle know of this good news?” “Okay.” Thomas nodded and picked up his phone to dial Simon’s number. The phone rang for a long time, but no one picked up.Finally, Thomas hung up huffily. “Perhaps he’s busy.” However, what he did not know now was that the sound of Simon’s phone had been switched off before it was placed on the window in a hospital ward. “Lisa Marsh.” Simon sat on the chair next to the bed and gritted his teeth as he stared at the woman who was lying with her eyes shut in front of him. “What do you want to do, huh?” “It’s been so many years. I spent so much effort building Yoder Corporation up from the ground, but you’re insisting on giving the legacy I built away to an outsider!?” “Yes, I admit that I am where I am now in terms of accomplishments because I took money from the Moses family

    The first thing Thomas did after wrapping up his work for the day was drive up to the hospital. After yesterday’s wedding and today’s meeting, it had been two days since he had last visited his aunt. “Tom.” Franklin stood up from the couch he had been sitting on in Lisa’s private ward. “Here to see mom?”“Yes.” Thomas smiled as he took his coat off and swiftly sat down beside Lisa. He took her hand and said, “Aunt, I didn’t embarrass you on my first day of work today!” “The two assistants Franklin introduced to me are amazing!” “What’s even more astonishing is that one of those amazing people, a man named Seth Greene, learned his skills from Elijah!” The more Thomas spoke, the happier he became. He could even feel Lisa’s finger, which he was holding in his palm, quiver slightly when he mentioned the name “Elijah”. He thought Lisa was interested in Elijah and thus began chattering away about Elijah to her. “This person is amazing too.” “He might look identical to me

    When Simon had learned that Abby was from a poor family and that she might die at any minute because of her congenital heart disease… He had waved his large hand and told Franklin sternly, “The Yoder family will never allow a woman with no status and bad health through its doors. I’d advise you to give up now!” “What you need to do is marry a woman who is a good match for the family and inherit the Yoder family business!” “If you refuse to listen and insist on being together with this woman, I’ll hire someone to kill her!” Franklin had been young and in love for the first time. Only he understood the panic and fear he felt when his father objected to his relationship. Thus, he was extremely nervous when Lisa mentioned she wanted to meet Abby. However, Lisa smiled lovingly and said, “My son has good taste.” “This girl might be thin and weak, but she has a good temperament. She might have been born into a poor family, but she has dressed appropriately. You can tell that she

    Sally was also confused after listening to what Elijah had to say. However, she could not be bothered to spend more time thinking about what Franklin and Elijah were talking about. After all, she had no clue how the business world worked and could not offer any help even if she watched them bustle around every day. Thus, she decided she might as well go shopping and experiment with making new dishes with Evonne every day. Evonne had even had an oven specially installed in Thomas’ mansion. The two best friends spent their days scouring the internet for recipes on how to make all sorts of sweet treats, shopping for the ingredients, returning and hoping to replicate them and then asking Rohan to taste test them so he could determine whose tasted better. “If this keeps up, you guys are going to turn me into a fatty.” Rohan leaned on the couch, an aggrieved expression on his face as he stared at his little face that had already gone up a size. He said sadly, “The little girls in the

    “This child.” Evonne, sitting on the edge of the bed and reading, did not catch what he said. She pulled the blanket and covered it over him, a wry expression on her face. “What dream is he having again?” After ensuring the blanket was placed over Rohan, Evonne yawned and continued reading. “Boo hoo hoo--!” The child’s lilting voice rang out in the quiet bedroom once more. “I gave him the cake Mama made in secret, but he did not stop the woman from eating the cake.” “He is not fit to be my father…” This time, Evonne heard everything. The woman’s grip on the book’s spine tightened slightly. Pursing her lips, she hesitated for a short while before throwing a coat on and walking down the stairs to knock on Uncle Jordan’s door. “Who did the Little Master meet today?”Uncle Jordan was bleary from sleeping. He was both unfamiliar with and scared of his new Madam, Evonne, which was why he told the truth. “This afternoon..” “I was just thinking of the fact that Mr. Gre

    “Why are you suddenly thinking of looking for a job?” Sally used the phone call as an opportunity to clamber out of bed, wrap a bathrobe around herself, and sit down on the windowsill. The unsatisfied man had a grumpy expression on his face as he walked into the bathroom. As Sally gazed at Elijah’s gloomy figure, she could not stop her lips from curling up into a smile. Evonne was probably the only person on earth who had the guts to stop Elijah from getting what he wanted, right? Either way, she would never have dared to if Evonne had not called her. “Seth is still here in Y City. He hasn’t left.” Sally’s heart skipped a beat. She had known for a long time that Seth had not left. However… she had kept it a secret because Elijah had asked her to. “Well, are you sure that Seth is still here?” Evonne sighed. “I’ve received confirmation. He hasn’t left.” The woman’s voice was tinged with a hint of melancholy. “I think he hasn’t left because he wants to get custody

    She was getting quite bored staying here and accompanying Elijah too. She did not know the area well, and everyone else was busy. Evonne was the only person who could kill time with her, and she was going to get a job too. What other choice did she have other than accompany her? “Alright, then that’s settled!” After hearing Sally’s answer, Evonne hurriedly hung up the phone. “I’ll go submit a few more applications and also send your resume at the same time!” Sally, “...” “You have my resume?” “Yeah, I spent the night making one for you!” Sally, “...” So, the woman must have been convinced she would accompany her to work, right? Crafting her resume last night before she had even asked her!? She smiled wryly and hung up the phone. Wedding planning… She had never expected that she would be working in this field during her years on earth! Just then, the bathroom door opened. The man walked out with a steely expression on his face, sweeping a glance across he

    ————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
