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

    The second she woke up from her dream, she saw Zoey’s sultry face in front of her.“Sis Sally! Do you know what a great person Mr. Moses is?” Zoey clamped her hands on Sally’s cheeks as she said solemnly, “He’s amazing!” Sally’s mind was still chaotic. Smiling wryly, she asked, “Since when has my husband not been amazing?” This rhetorical question… Zoey was stunned. She had planned to tell Sally about how much Elijah loved her and how she would not have known that he had done so much for her in secret. However, she did not know how to word it now. It seemed that no matter how she phrased it, she would not escape the outcome of them showing off their relationship to her. Finally, the woman let go of her hands that were holding Sally’s face. “Yeah.” Even if they would show off their relationship to her, she still needed to say it. “You already know how great your Mr. Moses is, so I don’t need to tell you anymore.“I don’t need to tell you that he’s always been secre

    Downstairs, Elijah was sitting on the couch and watching Sally wash fruits in the kitchen. Just moments ago, the woman had been so sleepy she could not open her eyes when she asked him to go downstairs and ask Zoey and Thomas to lower their voices. Yet, she seemed so energetic now as she washed fruits in the kitchen. What power did Zoey possess to make this woman, who usually hated getting up, become so diligent? Finally, when Elijah watched Sally walk up the stairs with a large plate of strawberries, he could not help but call out to her. “I’m hungry too.” Sally pursed her lips. She was not in the mood to pay him any attention. “There’s some ravioli I made in the fridge. You can heat it up yourself.”Elijah, “...”It was the first time she treated him this way. His wife, Sally Summers, was a gentle, kind, chaste, and tender person. Whenever he said he was hungry, she would immediately race into the kitchen to prepare him something tasty.However, although she was now

    Evonne pursed her lips. “She’s probably not going to come in today because she’s not feeling well.” “Hah. She didn’t even bother to take leave even though she’s not coming to work. Guess they were right when they say that women from rich families are different.” Evonne frowned. “What did you say?” If she recalled correctly, she and Sally had never revealed their actual identities from the time they attended the interview in the company until they started work here. How could the director know that Sally was a rich person’s wife? “Nothing.” The director’s eyes twinkled for a moment before he lowered his head and coughed softly. “It’s Monday now. Are you done with the birthday party proposal I had you do last week?” “It’s done.” Evonne let out a breath as she turned to walk out to retrieve the proposal she had done. She placed it in front of the director. “It might be incomplete in places. I look forward to any advice you have to offer, Director.” The director frowned a

    Evonne was supposed to meet the client's fiance at two in the afternoon. As it was her first time interacting with the client, Evonne arrived at the cafe ten minutes earlier. To make herself seem even more professional, she even dug out her professional clothing from the bottom of her suitcase. She had bought this outfit several years ago when she accompanied Sally to Europe to treat her burn wounds. “Evonne, you look so good in this! Formal and sexy at the same time!” Sally’s cries of astonishment were still vivid in her memory. It was because of what Sally had said that she decided to use up two month’s worth of her salary to purchase such an expensive set of formal clothing although she was aware that the clothes she wore would not change anything. At least they could give her a boost of confidence. At the end of the day, it was her first time working in a line of service like this. She was extremely nervous. Evonne sighed and took a sip of coffee to calm down her

    Seth narrowed his eyes slightly as a smile tugged on the corners of his lips. Her attitude towards him might be at its very worst now, but he did not feel angry. Instead, he felt somewhat relieved. It was how she was like when he first got to know her. It was her nature, her personality. However, it had been a long time since she had been so sassy. Over this period, besides accompanying Chelsea and assisting Thomas in work, he would follow her in secret whenever he had the time. He watched as she sank into depression. He watched, and although she seemed to be making merry with Sally, she still had an underlying look of loneliness in her eyes. He watched as she stood on her balcony and smoked cigarettes in the middle of the night. He watched as she hid all her emotions from the surface and hid away to cry. He knew he had hurt her too deeply and that he had lost all right to care about her. He also knew that Thomas genuinely liked her and that he was a trustworthy

    Seth did not say anything. In this scenario, the silence was equal to acquiescence. Evonne sighed and looked up coolly at Seth. “Alright.” “However, I would like to make my stance clear.” Evonne’s eyes were cold and mocking as she gazed at him. “Seth Greene, I despise you.” “You never once protected me when we were together.” “Now, I’ve broken up with you and gotten married to Thomas. I have my happiness now.” “Yet, you use my child to threaten me so that I will consent to be the springboard for you and Chelsea to further your relationship.” “I truly despise you.” She stood and left after completing that sentence. Seth’s grip on the coffee cup tightened. His ink-colored eyes followed Evonne as she left. “I remember you promised to help me plan Chelsea’s birthday celebration.” “You should explain your previous plans to me now.” Evonne’s heart went cold. She had said such hurtful things to him, and she thought at the very least, he would pretend to be a little

    He had no right! Seth’s heart lurched slightly. His heart stung when he heard how easily the word “dad” rolled off Rohan’s tongue. Rohan was his son. He was supposed to be the “dad” he referred to. However… The man sighed and banished those unnecessary emotions. At this point, he no longer had any means of turning back! He lowered his head and looked down at the child much shorter than he was. “Where are they?” “Here.” Rohan pouted and made way for him. Seth frowned and walked over slowly. Thomas and Evonne were lying side by side on the couch in the living room. The two had reddened faces and reeked of alcohol. It was obvious that they had been drinking and that they were both drunk. As Rohan took out a thin blanket and placed it over them, he said calmly, “My mom and dad were really happy for some unknown reason tonight. They made out for a long time after confessing their feelings for each other and then fell asleep after getting drunk together.” While

    Seth carried Thomas to the guest room upstairs on his back. When he went down again to retrieve Evonne, he carried her into the master bedroom. Rohan noticed it, but he was too lazy to expose him. After all, the man was already acting as his free labor. It would be rude to be overly picky. The little guy smiled as he held his drink and looked at Seth. “Mr. Greene, I’m sure you did not come to my house at such a late hour just to take care of my mom and dad, right?” “Is there anything else?” “Of course.”The man frowned slightly. “Where is the study?” Rohan was stunned. Turns out the man was here for work matters. Hmph, he knew it! How could a man as cold-hearted as him make a trip over just because he was worried about his mom! When the thought occurred to him, he pouted his lips and pointed behind him.The man strode toward the study. When the man walked past Rohan, some unknown force seemed to possess him as he bent down and clapped a hand to Rohan’s shoulder.

    ————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
