The next day, Sally woke up very early.When she awoke, she even purposely swiped through some news.As expected!The news about Summers Corporation taking the clothing industry’s largest orders had swept the entire business world!She excitedly jumped out of bed!Still deeply asleep, Elijah moved a little.Sally’s entire body stilled abruptly. Only then did she realize she seemed to have disturbed him.With that, she tiptoed out of bed like a thief.However, the excitement in her heart could not be suppressed!Everyone online was praising the Summers Corporation’s new CEO for being worth their salt!Hmph, her husband was so amazing, how was he just worth his salt?Her husband was a salt god!He was worth countless pillars of salt!She was so happy that she was even humming while brushing her teeth.The young woman finished bathing, then put on comfortable clothes, refreshed. After this, she left the room and went downstairs.On the bed, the corners of a certain man’s li
Only then did Wendell come back to his senses from his hunger.He glanced coldly at Sally. “What, you won’t welcome me?”Although Sally was already nineteen years old, she had a baby-face that made her look as if she was fifteen or sixteen, yet her figure still resembled that of an exquisite young woman’s. Even through the apron and her baggy, comfortable clothes, she still had curves in all the right places.Wendell had seen a lot of women with many different body types. All sorts of them.However, he had to admit that amidst all the women he had seen before, Sally’s looks definitely placed her among the top ten.Especially those eyes of hers. They were clean and clear, as if pure light shone through them from the inside out. The early morning light was great as it projected in from the glass window and made the young woman’s tender, pale face look almost transparent.The beauty of the girl made Wendell forget all about what had happened the last time he sexually harass Sally.
Elijah hugged Sally, cajoling her for quite a while before the girl finally recovered from the feelings she had after being molested by Wendall.“Blair, release him.”Elijah placed Sally on the couch and said lightly.Blair furrowed his eyebrows. “But!“I want to beat him to death!”The boy’s clear, firm voice made Wendall’s body tremble.Elijah smiled lightly. “He’s my cousin. You can’t really beat him to death.“Just beat him around a little.”“Got it.”The young man answered, then aimed another fist at Wendall’s face.Wendall regretted not bringing his bodyguards inside!“I never would have expected that you’d actually have such a refined interest, coming over to cause trouble for me so early in the morning.”Elijah casually rolled his wheelchair in the direction of the dining hall.Seeing this, Sally hastily got up to push him.“Hmph!”Having been released by Blair, Wendall rolled his eyes. He massaged his tender face as he sat on the couch. “You can cause trouble fo
“What do you think?”Elijah chuckled once. “A beggar should adopt a beggar’s attitude.“With the proper attitude, apologize sincerely to Sally. Perhaps I will still agree to your request.”Daniel Moses was not a fool either. He naturally knew his own son was not the right material for business.That deal that Elijah stole yesterday had previously been almost certainly the Daniel Corporation’s business.Daniel had wanted Wendall to stand firm in the group, which was why he served him this huge, near-done deal to him on a silver platter.After all, even if Wendall was a hopeless case, he still had to be helped up.However, in the end, this deal had been obtained by Elijah’s team the night before the contract was supposed to be signed.When Elijah had taken this deal, Elijah had even purposely paid a few newspaper publishers’ reporters.Starting from 12 o’clock midnight, the front-page headlines and online news everywhere congratulated the Summers Corporation and even used cleve
Before Sally even finished a cup of soy milk, Daniel brought Wendall, who had left angrily just now, back.“Elijah.”Daniel’s expression was apologetic as he entered. “It’s my fault for not teaching your cousin properly. On his behalf, I apologize to you… and Sally!”Elijah smiled lightly.Although he knew this apology was fake, at least Daniel acted a lot more seriously than Wendell.Sally put her cup of soy milk down, not daring to speak.In her opinion, this uncle of Elijah’s had always been cool and stern—so scary that she did not dare to speak another word in front of him.She felt that there was an aura so dark that it made Daniel scared.They were one family, yet though the Moses’ patriarch had a very intimidating aura, he looked a lot kinder than Daniel.“Uncle.”Elijah curved his lips in a light smile. “I don’t know what you’re saying.“Wendell was just wailing in front of me here, saying that he didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t need to apologize at all.”The ma
The man glanced indifferently at Daniel’s green face. “If there is a next time, I’ll put this video online.”After saying this, he still did not forget to twist the knife deeper into Daniel’s heart. “Uncle, do you think this suggestion of mine is good?”Daniel ground his teeth together, but his voice was still kind. “Very good, very good.“Your cousin is brainless and doesn’t learn his lessons. Forcing him to remember it like this is not bad either!”Elijah laughed lightly. “Uncle understands as usual.”As the man uttered the words, Blair really picked up his phone and pointed it at Wendall’s face to record. “Look at the camera!”“F*ck your camera!”Wendall spat these words out between tightly clenched teeth.Such shameful humiliation!If this was really spread on the internet, how would he be able to exist in the business world in the future?How would he face his group of friends?!But…“Hurry up and sincerely apologize to your sister-in-law!”Daniel stepped on him yet a
Once Elijah uttered these words, Wendall could no longer hold back his rage.He gritted his teeth and dashed up. “You played us?!”On the other hand, Daniel calmly held him back. “Elijah, you acting this way is meaningless.“No matter what, I’m still your uncle.“No matter how you put it, I was the one who negotiated this deal first. You stole it at the last minute. I understand your youthful energy.“However, if you refuse to even collaborate, it’s a little unreasonable, isn’t it?”Daniel took a deep breath. “How about this—I’m willing to make a concession on the collaboration’s division. You take sixty percent; I’ll take forty. How’s that?”“Thirty-seventy.”Elijah curved his lips up lightly and spat out these two words.“You!”Wendell gritted his teeth. A thirty-seventy split!Originally, Daniel Corporation would have taken a hundred percent of this deal’s income, but now they were being forced to collaborate with Elijah for half each. However, this half was being pushed
“This way, in others’ eyes, we didn’t really lose these negotiations.“This deal being obtained in collaboration with the Summers Corporation and this deal being stolen by the Summers Corporation are entirely different!”Wendell did not understand the complex twists and turns of the business world. He only knew that he had suffered!“But…”Daniel glared at him. “Learn a little!“Outsiders won’t care if you have a fifty-fifty split or a thirty-seventy split. They only know that this is a collaboration between us!”Wendell pursed his lips. “Then a thirty-seventy deal is still too bad.”“Hehe.”Daniel chuckled lightly, eyes narrowing harshly. “On the surface, Summers Corporation was the one who took this order. They were the ones who signed the agreement. If a problem occurs in the quality, Elijah won’t be able to explain it.“Pretending to concede an advantage when it has actually already been calculated into the cost—he took advantage of me, so I absolutely won’t give him the r
————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
