“Yes, sir.”The conversation between master and servant befuddled Sally.It was just dinner. Why did they make it seem like they were preparing to meet someone?What are they asking Blair to get ready with?Half an hour later, when Sally arrived at the so-called Skyhigh Gardens along with Elijah, she finally understood why Ol’ Joe had reacted like that.Skyhigh Gardens was not the name of a restaurant. It was a hotel’s rooftop.The hotel had a little more than thirty floors. The building was not tall, but it was not short either. It was just nice when one wanted to enjoy a scenic view of the city.The safety measures were comprehensive, and the decorations lavish, but there was only one table in sight.Ol’ Joe pushed Elijah to the table. Sally sat down on the chair opposite him.A waiter walked up. “Mr. Moses, you’re having the usual?”“The usual.”The waiter nodded and left.After a while, scrumptious food and dishes of all types that Sally had never seen before were serve

Liam gritted his teeth. His face contorted with pain. “Sir, I know I said things that offended you, but do you need to be so vengeful?”“I am that way. What about it?”Elijah smiled thinly. He raised his glass of wine and sipped. “I heard that you took advantage of my woman many times.”Liam was startled. “Your woman?”“Sally Summers.”Liam froze as if he had been shocked by electricity.Sally was thin and small, and of all places, she originated from a village. How did she get acquainted with a man of such stature?And she had become his woman, no less...Liam instinctively gazed and scanned the man whose eyes were covered by a blindfold. “Sir…”“If we’re gonna be all manners and etiquette, perhaps I should address you as my older cousin.”Elijah’s lips curled up into a cold sneer before he continued, “But I don’t want to.” Covered in blood, Liam shook his head repeatedly. “I can’t possibly have the honor.”“At least you are aware of that.”The man took another sip of hi

Finishing his words, he waved his hand toward Ol’ Joe, who walked forward and wheeled him away. The doors to the rooftop closed and the only ones left were Sally, Blair, and Liam. Blair twitched his lips, threw down the shackles that chained Liam, scoffed, and walked off right after.Liam rolled over and crawled his way onto the center of the rooftop and glared at Sally. “What are you standing there for, come and get me off these chains!”The moment Elijah left the scene, his tone toward Sally changed to being harsh and abusive once more. Sally was still in shock from witnessing someone almost dying and immediately unbound Liam from his chains as he yelled at her. Who knew, as soon as the chains came loose, Liam pounced and pinned Sally onto the ground, strangling her. “How dare you, you b*tch, to have these people come after me?”She never would have expected that this guy, who would not even risk crossing Elijah, to suddenly turned the tables and pinned her to the ground i

Sally Summers was lost, she did not quite understand what Elijah meant. “How would you do that?”It was evident on Elijah’s face that he was somewhat surprised by Sally’s question.His hand reached out and caressed her head. “***.”Then, he embraced Sally with one arm and wheeled his wheelchair forward with the other.This particular position was too awkward and Sally managed to pull herself away after a brief struggle. She wiped her blushing face, “Let me wheel you back.”The man in the wheelchair smiled casually. “You have to get used to this kind of life. Your husband is a disabled man, and when we get intimate, it’s going to be like this.”Sally shook her head. As she pushed him toward the elevator, she answered thoughtfully, “We can get intimate in the house, not like this…”“For example?”“On the sofa, and...on the bed, we can also…”__________________________Perhaps she was too full from eating and felt sleepy, Sally reclined against the car’s leather seat and slept

The voice surprised Sally. She almost lost her balance and nearly spilled the milk.Thankfully, her previous experience working in a cafe helped her find her footing.When she came back to her senses, the doors to the study room swung open. Blair looked at her with suspicion, “What are you here for?”In the face of such a direct query, Sally for a moment could not find the words to respond.After a while, she mumbled her intentions. “I’m here to give you guys some milk…”She truly did not mean to eavesdrop on their conversation, even though she did not understand a word of it.“Come in.”The indifferent voice of a man came from the room.Sally felt relieved and walked in swiftly with the tray of milk. Setting it on the table, she explained, “I just went down to warm some milk, and I figured you probably have not slept yet, so…”“Why did you wake up?”Elijah had his back toward her, seemingly uninterested to know why she was there.Sally was stunned and coughed lightly, “I ju

Elijah stared at Sally, his voice was solemn.Noticing the tension and intimacy building between them, Ol’ Joe gestured to Blair to leave the room.The doors to the study room closed.Sally’s face was red with embarrassment, “Mmm.”“Sally Summers.”His voice was deep and earnest. “There is no such thing as being indebted between husband and wife.”She nodded in acknowledgment. “Oh...I shall not speak of it again in the future.”Elijah massaged the area between his eyebrows. “Don’t speak of it and don’t think of it.”“But I truly am indebted to you, how can I not think of it?”Seeing her slow-witted expression, Elijah chuckled. “You can consider giving back to me with something of similar value.”“What is that?”“You owe me a child.”Sally, “...”_______________________________The day before, even though Evonne had persuaded Sally to avoid Aunt Sylvia who was blocking the way out of campus, but the very next day, stories of her being someone’s mistress had spread throughou

"How disgusting!”Evonne looked at Joan dead in the eyes and said, "You think you can talk about Sal like that just because you’re rich?"Sally looked down as she took out her books and notes from her school bag. "I mean, money is king."Since Grandma Summers fell sick, Sally had longed to become rich.Although she was now the wife of a rich man, nothing about it felt real to her."Don’t say that."Evonne frowned and said, "You need to stand up for yourself. Get Elijah here and give Joan a tight slap on the face. Make her kneel and apologize to you!"Sally shook her head and said, "Forget about it.""Why?""If they have their mind set on making fun of me, they’ll always find a way to do so. Even if I can prove that Elijah is not an old, ugly, fat, and bald person, they will still make fun of him for being disabled."Sally took a deep breath, put on her earphones, and replied, "Just ignore them."She married Elijah so that she could take care of him, not the other way around.

Sally frowned. She was just about to reply to Ol' Joe to tell him not to worry about it when she heard a commotion.She raised her head subconsciously only to see that Calvin Lewis, who was nearly fifty years old, had walked up to her respectfully and said, "Madam, I will be driving you home today on behalf of Ol' Joe."There was a huge uproar at the school gate area once he said that.Joan's eyes widened and she shouted, "Dad!"Calvin turned and glared at her. "I'm working!"After he finished speaking, he turned his head back to Sally and smiled respectfully. "Madam, the car is just over here."Sally felt her scalp tingling.The person that Ol' Joe had mentioned turned out to be Joan's father!Lively discussion immediately ensued, and Joan could not help but felt awkward about it.After a while, Joan ran up to bar Calvin’s way. "Dad, are you kidding me? You are the hotshot of A City! Why are you here being a driver for this b*tch?! Who is the man that’s backing her up? Dad, w

————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
