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
Before leaving the house, Sally would have never known that Evonne had sent their resumes to so many companies!! The entire morning, Sally accompanied Evonne to more than ten different event planning companies to attend interviews. At the start, she was still very patient and treated every question seriously as she answered each question the HR employer posed to her during their interview with utmost care. However… There were just too many companies. Sally’s mood changed from expectation to numbness until the very end where she could not be bothered anymore. She did not care if she passed the interview or not! What surprised her the most was that she thought what Elijah told her to say to her interviewers would work every time she used it. Yet, turned out… “Haha, Ms. Summers, you can’t just brag about whatever you want to. Yoder Corporation has always employed major companies to be in charge of their events. How could a small-company like ours butt in?” “Ms. Summers, I un
“Sure, do it then. Why pass up on an opportunity to earn some money?” The woman on the other end of the line chuckled. “Take care of them. I’ll be in touch with you if there’s anything else to take care of.” Then, the woman used a finger that had purple-colored nail polish on it to disconnect the phone. “Chelsea, I remember you enjoy lattes.” The tall man quietly knocked on the door and opened it to place a steaming cup of latte in front of the woman. “There’s something I need to take care of at the office. I’ll be leaving now.” “Okay.” Chelsea smiled at him. “Drive safe.” The man nodded and was just about to leave when Chelsea called out to him. “Seth.” He stopped and smiled as he turned around. “What’s up?” “Dad called this morning and said he had someone read the stars today. The fifteenth of next month is a good time for us to have our wedding.” Seth’s body shuddered slightly. Then, he smiled and said, “In that case, do thank dad for helping us.” “I’ll have
Evonne did not know if she was imagining things or not, but Chelsea seemed to smile in her direction as she entered the restaurant with Seth. Evonne’s chest tightened, thinking that her eyes must be playing tricks on her. When she looked up again, the two had already walked in. There was not even a shadow in sight. “Evonne.” When Sally walked out of the fondue place with her handbag, she saw that Evonne was staring dazedly at the restaurant opposite them. She reached over and knocked her on the head. “What are you looking at?” “No-Nothing.” Evonne coughed lightly as she jolted back to her senses. She smiled at Sally and asked, “What’s up?” “I’m done talking to Zoey.” Sally smiled at her. “I think it’s almost time for us to go home too.” Evonne looked down at the time. It was already past four in the afternoon. She smiled. “You should definitely be going home now. Elijah should be almost done with work now, right?” Sally pouted. “Do you think he gets off work this so
“Evonne’s place? Or Franklin’s place? Or perhaps, Seth’s place?” As the man watched the mischievous expression slide off Sally’s tiny face, the smile on his lips turned even more gleeful. “Ah, how unfortunate. You don’t have many places to go to in Y City, Mrs. Moses.” Sally, “...” By that, did he mean she was not going to escape from him that easily today?! The woman coughed lightly as the expression on her face changed from one of terror. She was now trying to curry favor with him. “Why would I escape?” “I just remembered that I left a copy of my notes in Evonne’s bag, so…” Elijah raised an eyebrow. “Is that so?” Then, he got up and elegantly walked over to Sally. “Shall I accompany you to get it back from Evonne?” When Sally saw the man walking toward her, she gulped and felt her stress levels rising. She smiled shyly. “No… No need!” “It’s not… It’’s not something I’m in a rush to use. I can just get it back from her tomorrow.” “Sure. That’s good.” Elijah smi
Sally held her phone and sat at the head of the bed, her head spinning as she read the texts Annie sent her. How was it possible… Just last night, Elijah had told her with such heartfelt words that Seth had not gotten over Evonne. He was willing to stay in Y City and assist Thomas only because he hoped Evonne would be happy. He was deeply in love with Evonne. However, the man Elijah had claimed to be deeply in love with Evonne… was now engaged to Chelsea, the sister he grew up with?!She pursed her lips, and her hands shook as she picked up her phone to reply to Annie: [Did you mishear it?[I don’t think it’s possible…][What do you mean impossible?!]Annie was a fast replier. [The Greene family has already announced the wedding to the entire world with much fanfare![It’ll be held on the 15th of next month!]On the other end of the line, Annie’s face was contorted with anger. [Why?[I used to be a big fan of Seth Greene and even thought he was a pretty good man. Why i
“How can I be in the mood to eat anything?” Sally pouted and sprawled over the tray. She gazed at the steaming bowl of garlic noodles but could not summon any appetite to eat. “There’s no way it’s good news if you’ll only tell me after I finish this bowl of noodles.“You’re worried I won’t eat anything after hearing bad news.” She knew the man and his tricks all too well! Elijah raised an eyebrow and smiled. “Since you know I won’t tell you anything before you finish eating, you should hurry up and finish this bowl of noodles.” Sally pouted. Although she was hungry, she was even more eager to learn more about Seth and Chelsea’s marriage. The woman stared at Elijah and huffed.Elijah gazed back at her calmly. Their eyes met. One pair was filled with indignance while the other showed no distinct expression. After a long time, Sally finally caved in.She pursed her lips and obediently picked up the bowl of noodles, using her fork to pick up several strands. Before Sal
Sally hurriedly shot back, “I’m not asking him to remain chaste for Evonne, but at the very least, he shouldn’t get together with Chelsea the minute after Evonne rejects him, right? “It shows no respect for his relationship with Evonne in the slightest!” Elijah smiled at her but did not say anything more. The more Sally spoke, the more she felt she was in the wrong. It was as though… she had no right to be angry at Seth. It was because he had initially wanted to get back together with Evonne. She was the one who turned him down. He had every reason to begin a new life with another person.Sally became even more annoyed when she thought of that. Logically, she could understand where Seth was coming from. However, she just could not bring herself to forgive him. “Alright.” Elijah smiled wryly and pulled the tiny woman, who had a gloomy expression on her face, into his arms. “Stop worrying about other people’s affairs and get some sleep.” Sally pouted and lay in Eli
————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
