In contrast to the surrounding crowd’s shock, Zoey, who had long expected this outcome, was much calmer.She smiled politely at Elijah. “Yeah. I go to class with Sally, get off class with her, and wait for our rides here with her too.”“Then I hope you get home soon, Ms. Williams.”After saying this, Elijah raised his eyes to glance at Paula. “You.”The man’s low, magnetic voice was full of a dangerously lethal air. “You said you… made a joke about my wife just now?”Paula was at a loss for words. “…”She pressed her lips together. “I… I was just joking around with Sally.”Elijah lowered his head to glance at the innocent, harmless girl in his arms.He knew that he would not be able to get anything from her mouth.She was kind by nature and did not hold grudges.Thus, the man lifted his head to glance at Evonne. “What happened just now?”Evonne narrowed her eyes dangerously and told Elijah everything that had happened earlier.“Is that so?”The man’s deep voice gradually d
Zoey returned to the Williams house, full of rage.She viciously threw her school bag in the direction of the couch. “I’m not doing it anymore!”Victor Williams sat on the couch, drinking tea as he looked at her. “What’s up now?”“That Elijah Moses is granite!”She clenched her teeth tightly as she picked up a teacup to sip at it. “Sally Summers came back to school today. I spent a week pulling people to my side, painstakingly arranging things because I wanted to hurt her and have her develop a misunderstanding that I was better than her and that Elijah liked me better!“Then what happened?!“Elijah personally came to pick her up this evening!“All my hard work was wasted!”She slammed the cup onto the coffee table. The glass cup and glass table met, making a crisp dinging sound.“Lower your voice a little!”Victor chastised her. “S is sleeping upstairs. If you wake her, it will spell trouble for you!”“Dad!”Zoey felt like she was about to fall apart. “I just don’t underst
“Oh.”Sally was a little disappointed. “I thought the dinner would happen no matter rain or shine.”Evonne was also a little disappointed. “I thought we could enrage them while taking advantage of them.”Yet the opposition had given up first.“Let’s do this then.”Sally took her phone out. “Have Seth come and treat us to a meal.”She had come out in a hurry, so she did not bring the black card Elijah had given her, while the money she had on her was undoubtedly not enough.What if the staff today did not recognize her when they settled the bill later? That would be very troublesome, would it not?Hence, it would be better if Seth Greene came to treat them.After all, Elijah had said that Seth was very free recently.“Forget it.”Just as Sally made the call, Evonne grasped her hand. “I brought money. I’ll treat you.”“Evonne.”Sally’s lips flattened. “The things here are so expensive; It’s hard for your dad to earn money.“Moreover, we and Seth are so familiar now, so what
Seth smiled blandly at Sally and let out a laugh, then walked over to sit beside her. “Coming here to mooch my food and drink again?”Sally’s face turned red. “Since when have I mooched your food and drink?“I… I just came here with Evonne for a simple meal.”After speaking, she lifted her head and looked at Evonne, hoping that she could get some backup from Evonne.After all, Evonne was sharp-tongued, and no one could best her.However, she quickly realized that Evonne’s face… was redder than hers?!“Is Ms. Turner sick?”Seth wrinkled his brows lightly and habitually raised his hand to check Evonne’s forehead. “It seems like a high fever.”He lifted his hand and snapped his fingers elegantly.The receptionist at the side rushed over immediately. “Boss.”“Go get some paracetamol.”He furrowed his brows and glanced at the red wine on the table in front of Sally. “While you’re at it, get some hangover medicine too.”The receptionist dashed off before returning quickly.The m
“You don’t know anything. You’ve only met me twice, but you confess to me based just on this face.“There’s no difference between you and those other shallow women.”At that moment, Evonne tugged on his sleeve, trying desperately to refute. “I’m not. I…”She was just certain that her mother’s kidney was in this man’s body.However…Seth yanked away his arm and walked away expressionlessly. Remembering that day’s humiliation, Evonne opened another bottle of wine.Sally pressed her lips together. “Evonne, don’t be so disheartened.“Seth isn’t actually that great either…“Plus…”Her lips pursed. “You’ve only met him twice. Do you really… like him that much?”She liked him so much that she lowered her pride and confessed?It had to be known that even if Evonne was not the prettiest girl in school, her looks were not too far off from that level.If it were not for her manly personality, the boys willing to confess to her would fill an entire hallway!Furthermore, in terms of
After getting drunk, Sally slept in until midday.She was finally awakened by the ringing of the phone.In a daze, she grabbed her phone and answered, "Who is...""Sally, this is Howard Ziegler."The man on the phone sounded a little anxious, "Do you know where Evonne is?"Sally's hungover brain was a little slow, "Howard Ziegler?"‘Who?’"I'm from the class next to yours."The man on the other end of the phone explained patiently, "It's the Howard who had asked Evonne to grab coffee and go to the movies previously. The Howard that she stood up a few times.”Sally closed her eyes and thought for a long time before remembering that there was indeed such a person.However, she asked, "How did you get my number? Why are you looking for Evonne?""It’s like this…"Howard took a deep breath, then continued, "During your vacation which I think was three or four days ago, Evonne looked for me and asked me to be her boyfriend."So, she’s my girlfriend."She told me to meet at the
The girl felt a little warmth in her heart. She got up and went to the study.The morning sun fell behind Elijah, coating his body with a layer of golden light.He was sitting in the study, looking at some documents with his back toward the sun.When he heard the sound of the door opening, he raised his head and his eyes filled with happiness when he saw Sally."You’re up?"A heart-throbbing magnetism was laced in the man’s voice.Sally pursed her lips and nodded. "I just got up."Did you bring me back last night?"Elijah nodded and invited her to her, "Come here."The girl walked over in small steps and sat on his lap.Elijah hugged her and planted two kisses on her tender little cheeks. "Who else would take you home besides me?”Sally pursed her lips. "What about Evonne?""Last night..."On the phone just now, Howard said that the man who answered his call sounded very young and that it would not have been Mr. Turner.Furthermore, he was very upset that Howard called hi
"Is that it?”Sally looked at the message that Elijah had sent to Seth. "Hubby, are you sure that... Seth will do as he’s told?""He is in no position to not send her over.”The man took her into his arms and kissed her on the neck gently. "Let other people settle their own problems.”His kiss was domineering and arrogant. "The medical examination report is out.""Your body..."The man’s voice and his unique masculinity floated into Sally’s eardrums, "Let’s..."Sally’s mind instantly went blank when she heard his flirtatious voice and felt his suggestive actions.She stared at his sharp and handsome face blankly and dodged subconsciously. "Hubby, I..."Elijah kissed her. "Remember what you promised me before?""You said that you wish I could be at home."The girl blushed all the way until her ears.Could she say that... she regretted it?Indeed, she said those words!However, it seemed that although her words solved her plight back during that moment, she had actually end
————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
