The butler paused, then raised his eyes to stare at Elijah.Only then did Sally realize that her response had been a little too enthusiastic.She coughed lightly, then carefully sat onto the chair. Her large black eyes stared at him pitifully. “Hubby, can we go stop Javier?“Javier was one of the few people from my high school who had good results. It wasn’t easy for him to get out of the village. If he goes back now, he’d be ridiculed.“Moreover, he can actually become a good doctor. We can’t let him get stuck in that small town.”Her earnest expression made a smile flash through Elijah’s eyes beneath his black ribbon.However, his face was still cold. “You want to stop him only because of these reasons?”“Of course.” Sally grabbed his arm, shaking it gently. “Hubby, you have to trust me.“Even if I did worship Javier a little in the past, he’s just my school senior. I absolutely, positively just don’t want his talents to be forever lost.”Elijah could not resist the smile

The man raised his head, face full of surprise as he stared at her. “Why are you here?”In these few days, he had been constantly targeted by Elijah.He knew the reason Elijah targeted him too, but he had never gone to look for Sally.He was afraid that because of him, Elijah would make things difficult for her.Her marrying a man like Elijah made her situation bad enough. He could not cause more trouble for her.Seeing Sally during a moment like this still made him happy.He stood up, so moved that he was about to pull Sally into his arms.Sally took a step back, avoiding it.However, she still looked at him, smiling sweetly. “Javier, you don’t have to go back.“My husband agreed to let you work in the best medical research institute in A City!”The girl’s voice was as clear as a bell. “Javier, you have talent and skill. You should go to higher and better places. You absolutely can’t go back to our home—you’d have no future there!”Javier’s body quaked slightly.He did not

Javier’s expression was not the happiest.Sally wrinkled her brows and continued waving at him. “Javier, come on!”She even teased him, smiling sunnily, “You don’t want to go work at the research institute?”Javier’s two hands clenched tightly into fists at his side.He hated people of Elijah’s class.Elijah clearly could not compare to him in any aspect—he did not work hard nor was he motivated, yet he could marry the girl Javier liked due to his powerful familial background and manipulate Javier’s life as he pleased. He could even make it such that Javier could get into the research institute he had always dreamed of.Javier knew that, at this moment, if he had any backbone, he should reject it.However, backbone could not put food on the table.People could only talk about principles when they are powerful.He inhaled deeply, then slowly walked up to Sally and Elijah.All his movements and expressions were noted by Elijah.Sally was naïve and kind-hearted. She could not s

He said it was not a misunderstanding, yet Elijah claimed that it was a set-up?This was clearly something that was happening due to his influence, but he could still pretend that it had absolutely nothing to do with him?“Mr. Moses, if this was arranged by you, then it was arranged by you. What’s the point in denying it?”Javier gritted his teeth tightly. “Even if you admitted it, I can’t do anything to you anyway!”Elijah smiled blandly before continuing to say, “It wasn’t something I did, so why should I admit to doing it?”After speaking, he turned to Sally and smiled as he said, “What do you think?”Sally had just suffered from not believing Elijah. She now naturally held an unshakable trust toward Elijah.Therefore, Sally pressed her lips together as she lifted her eyes to look sincerely at Javier. “Javier, there must be some sort of misunderstanding in all of this.“Perhaps this was the reason that they conjured up just because they didn’t want to hire you?”If her husb

Two days later, the midterm results were released.Based on the usual rules, as the highest scorer in class as well as the student representative, it should have been Sally who went to carry the exam papers back to the classroom.However, Sally’s leg was injured, so Evonne volunteered to carry it for her.“Sal, what kind of virtue do you think you accumulated in your past life to be able to meet a man such as Elijah Moses?”Evonne carried a stack of exam papers that were piled as high as a mountain as she walked by Sally’s side. She chewed on some gum as she lamented. “For people with his status, he could chop off Javier’s fingers and toes with just a single sentence, let alone bar him from working anywhere he pleases.“Yet in order to let an idiot like you feel better, not only did he not confront his rival in love, instead he got Javier a job?“What kind of incomparably good husband is this!”Sally shot her a look. “Did my husband give you money?” In a span of just two days,

“Wasn’t she the one who got me locked in a mental hospital?“Now I have to leave home and go to a foreign place for four years, yet I should still thank her?”Evonne pursed her lips. “You should be thanking her!”The two girls sniped one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.Sally furrowed her eyebrows, then raised a hand and pulled Evonne away. “Forget it.”For Joan’s father’s sake, she did not wish to have any more head-on collisions with Joan.“Why should I forget it?“Why would you let such a vicious b*tch like this go?!”Evonne became even more heated with each argument.“Say that again?!”Joan gritted her teeth, glaring fiercely at Evonne.Having gone through these few experiences, she now knew that she could not bear the consequences of provoking Sally.However, she could not provoke Sally, but she should be able to do something to Evonne, right?Thinking of this, Joan extended a hand and violently shoved Evonne.Evonne had been carrying the ent

In the large, solemn meeting room of the Summers Corporation building.The atmosphere was so down it was scary. All the employees there had gathered their full attention, making notes as they listened to the report jitterily.At the head of the table in the meeting room sat Elijah, dressed in black.A black ribbon covered his eyes, but it could not cover that overbearingly cold air about him.The woman making the report lifted her eyes at him for the third time, voice trembling a little. “Mr. Moses… Can we go through with this plan?”Suddenly, the phone in front of Elijah rang.The man extended his large, well-defined hand to pick the phone up.Seeing the name on the screen, gentleness flashed across the man’s expression for a moment. “Why’re you calling now?”On the phone, Sally sounded a little guilty. “Hubby, I… caused trouble at school.“My teacher said I have to get my guardian to take me home today… Can you come?”A smile appeared over the cold lines of Elijah’s face. “

A City University classroom building.“Sally, will you be okay by yourself?”Evonne stood at the door, watching Sally with some worry.Sally smiled at Evonne and Evonne’s father behind her. “No problem! The sky isn’t dark yet. My husband should be coming very soon!”Evonne pressed her lips together. She left a moment later under her father’s urging.Not long after she left, the advanced math teacher returned to the office again. “Sally Summers, almost everyone in the school is gone. Where’s your guardian?”Sally pressed her lips together and glanced at her watch. “Probably in a traffic jam?”It should not take this long to come from the Moses house.Even if he was coming from Summers Corporation, by now, he should be…Before Sally could finish complaining inwardly, someone knocked on the office door.The advanced math teacher’s brows furrowed and said coldly after posing in a very serious manner. “Come in.”The room door was open.Ol’ Joe pushed Elijah in.The advanced mat

————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
