”You have to want it.

“You were born into such a talented family. There’s no reason to bury your skills and talents.”

As Thomas sat in the bar, he could not help but play a continuous loop of the things Franklin had said to him in the hospital today.

He barked out a bitter laugh as he took a swig from the bottle.

Skills, talents.

He did not think he had any talent in doing business.

Although he was now the president of Yoder Corporation and was in a position everyone was jealous of, was he happy?

He was not the slightest bit happy.

Did he have any skills or talents?

He did not.

The only reason he had not yet caused Yoder Corporation’s downfall was because of his twin brother Elijah.

He found it hard to imagine the magnitude of chaos he would have caused in Yoder Corporation if not for Elijah or Seth.

He had never thought himself to be particularly skilled or talented in doing business.

However, a fan who always read his comics online had once told him that she h

    Under the warm lights of the bar, Thomas glanced mockingly at Zoey. “Tsk tsk tsk, CEO Williams.” “I never imagined you to be so imposing toward your subordinates…” He thought of himself. Seth was one of his subordinates, but the man had never respected him. He had many more subordinates in the company, but every person had a mocking look in their eyes when they looked at him. It was as if everyone knew he was a useless man who relied on Elijah’s support. No one had ever respected him, nor would they obey his orders like how Zoey’s assistant obeyed her orders. “Nonsense.” Zoey rolled her eyes at him and strode over to sit down beside him. “I’m in charge of his salary. Of course, he’s scared of me.” Then, she gave Thomas a once-over and glanced at the empty bottles beside him. “Trying to get drunk because you’re in a bad mood?” Thomas did not answer. Instead, he placed a bottle of vodka in front of her. “Since we’ve already met, care to join me?“Don’t worry. I’ll back

    Elijah could not care less about what had happened to Zoey and Thomas! He had been extremely busy ever since he arrived in Y City, often having to work overtime until it was late at night every day. Sally would already be asleep when he returned home. Although he deeply desired to be intimate with her, he could not bring himself to wake her up. Besides, Evonne would interrupt him whenever he tried doing anything to Sally in the morning. Today, he finally did not need to work overtime and could do anything he pleased with his wife at home. However, Zoey and Thomas were causing him trouble this time? All he wanted to do was add a third kid to his family. Why was this so difficult? “Hubby, let’s go to the police station.” Sally had no idea of the internal war waging within Elijah and hurriedly clambered out of bed to put on her clothes. “Zoey just arrived in Y City and she doesn’t know anyone else. I’m worried she’ll get into a fight with the officers.” Elijah wryly got ou

    “But it doesn’t hurt at all now.” It was weird that squabbling with her seemed to ease his pain. “Idiot.” Zoey rolled her eyes at him. “Why did you stand in front of me? They couldn’t have won in the fight against me.” Thomas also rolled his eyes at her. “Come on, I’m a man. I couldn’t just stand and watch you get beaten up, could I?” “Would you two like to chat for a while longer?” The two of them had been squabbling with each other and did not notice that Elijah was standing beside the door, which he had opened. “No!” “No!” The two spoke at the same time when they heard Elijah’s voice. Then, they looked at each other and turned their heads the other way. “Hmph!” The man standing at the door massaged his temples wryly. “Let’s go.” The two stood and followed Elijah as they walked out the door. “Where’s Sis Sally?” Zoey could not help but ask that question when she did not see any sign of Sally after walking from the holding cell to the police station’s entra

    Come home. Zoey was not thinking of anything else when she said those two words, but they took on a different meaning in Thomas’ ears. Go home with Elijah? He shut his eyes and remained silent for a while. Then, he nodded. “Okay.” Although he did not want to admit it and wanted to refuse it, he could not change the fact that he was Elijah Moses’ younger brother. “Come on!” Zoey rolled her eyes at him as she began hurrying him. Thomas heaved a long sigh before getting into the car. Elijah gave Thomas a long look but did not say anything else. Soon, the car rolled into Elijah and Sally’s residence. The Yoder family arranged for Sally and Elijah to stay in a small mansion. Although the place was not as big as the Moses house back in A City, it was still reasonably large. Both Zoey and Thomas could spend the night here without any problems. Once they got back, Sally began helping Zoey and Thomas disinfect and bandage their wounds. Zoey was alright. She had no othe

    When she looked at Thomas now, she was reminded of Elijah, who used to suffer everything himself. No matter how much sorrow, pain, or sadness he felt, he would always manage to get through it himself. Thomas looked somewhat similar to how Elijah was several years ago. After all, they were brothers. Their stubbornness in certain areas was so alike it was scary. When Sally finally extracted all the glass and helped Thomas disinfect and bandage his wound, he had already passed out from the pain. The man did not utter a single word or make a peep until he passed out.Sally sighed as she packed away her medical supplies. She was just about to get up when she saw Elijah approach with a thin blanket, which he gently lay over Thomas. “Sal, is he alright?”Zoey’s face was equal parts worry and self-reproach. “It’s all my fault…“I knew I would get into trouble if I got drunk, but…“If he hadn’t wanted to protect me, he wouldn’t have…” “He just passed out from the pain.

    Thomas was still unconscious the next morning. However, his phone was ringing. Seth was calling him. Seth was sitting by the bed. When Zoey heard the phone ring, she thought it was a call for her. Grabbing the phone, she answered, “Hello, who’s this?” The person on the other end of the line was silent for a while. “Who are you?“Why are you with Thomas?“It’s only six in the morning, but a woman is picking up his calls. What’s your relationship with him?” Seth’s voice on the other end of the line was cold and suspicious. All this while, he had thought that Evonne married Thomas because she was both disappointed in him and she had feelings for Thomas. He had always hoped to help Thomas take care of the issues in Yoder Corporation as soon as possible so that Thomas could spend more quality time with Evonne. He would help her recover from her past trauma and forget about her unhappy past. How long had it been since they got married? Thomas had gotten himself another wo

    Seth fell silent when he heard what the child on the other end of the line had to say. He could not argue against what Rohan had said. From an objective standpoint, Rohan was telling the truth. The call ended with him feeling bad about it. When Rohan hung up the phone and got out of bed, he saw the woman standing at the door. She was standing there quietly, and it seemed she had been standing there for a long time. “Give it to me.” Evonne’s eyes were calm as she reached her hand out to Rohan. Rohan pouted and instinctively hid the phone behind him. “Uncle Yoder gave this to me.” “You’re only five years old. You shouldn’t be using stuff like this.” Evonne’s voice was devoid of emotion. “Besides, you shouldn’t be in contact with him.” Rohan’s face turned pale. Evonne must have heard his conversation with Seth. “Mama, I’m not very close to him. I’m helping you vent out your anger.” Evonne pursed her lips, her arm still stretched out. “You don’t have to help me vent

    Zoey’s words felt like a basin of cold water that was poured over him. Thomas, who had been so angry his face had turned red, immediately deflated. The color of his elegant face turned from red to white and then back to its ordinary color. Finally, he turned his head the other way as he said awkwardly, “Who likes Evonne?” Zoey pouted. “You’re trying to hide the obvious!“I guessed it long ago! You like Evonne, don’t you?” Thomas coughed awkwardly. “Your guess is wrong.” He turned to escape when he finished speaking and saw Elijah standing at the stairway. A nearly imperceptible look of awkwardness flashed across the man’s face before he turned and left. Zoey shrugged and looked at Elijah. “Your brother is not an honest man.” Elijah’s broad figure lounged lazily against the banisters. He gazed calmly at them as he said, “There are some things left better unsaid.” “How hurtful.” Zoey rolled her eyes and strode over to stand beside Elijah. “You could tell from a lon

    ————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
