“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!

    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

    The man was wearing a nightgown and his chest was exposed. His sexy image was accompanied by his sexy voice. If anyone heard him, they would swoon over him and melt into his deep voice and eight-packs.However, when Sally heard it, her whole body trembled fiercely.Since Sally went downstairs in a hurry, she had casually put on his white shirt.Since he was a very tall man, the shirt reached down to her knees when she wore it.At that moment, her hair was loosely tied back with a few strands that strayed around her collarbone. Her eyes were big, and shock was written all over her palm-sized face.Milky-white cream stained the girl's pink lips.Elijah suppressed the fire in his heart and went downstairs. He reached out his hand to wipe the thing off her lips. "What’s this?"Sally glanced at him intently. "It’s cream."After she said that, she added, "It's very sweet."Elijah was not shy and immediately ate the cream that he wiped from her mouth."Yeah, it's very sweet."He pi

    After another whole day of rest at home, Sally could finally go to school normally on the third day.To her surprise, there was someone else sitting beside Evonne during class that day.It was Howard, who looked just a little better than a hideous monster.He was sitting next to Evonne and smiled as he waved at Sally. "Sal!"Sally almost puked from his sheer ugliness.She had always considered herself as a person who never judged people by their appearance.However, she had a prerequisite for not judging people by their appearance... The other person should not be that ugly.Howard's looks completely overshadowed his charm.Sally laughed awkwardly, took one big circle, and finally sat down beside Evonne.Howard enthusiastically put a bottle of cold drink with condensation droplets on the outside of the bottle in front of Sally, right across Evonne, "It's pretty hot today. Here, this will cool you down!"Sally was startled. "Thank you..."After she said that, she turned her h

    Evonne fired a slap at her. “Who are you calling shameless?” Paula hurriedly dodged. Zoey came over and pulled Paula toward her. “Paula.” Then, she looked coldly at Sally and Evonne before saying, “Don’t waste your breath arguing with them.” Paula glared at Sally one last time before she turned and walked away. Howard furrowed his brows together as he watched them leave. “What are they…” “None of your business.” Evonne’s brows furrowed together slightly as she looked at Howard. “Didn’t you say that your friends would like to meet me? Let’s go.” She turned to look apologetically at Sally after that. “I have something to do with Howard, and I won’t be able to accompany you any longer.” Sally’s brows knitted together. “Where are you guys going?” “To the bar.” Howard spoke first. “I’ve been trying to get Evonne to date me for a year. Now that she’s finally agreed to date me, all my friends would like to meet her and give us their good wishes.” Sally pursed her lips,

    “You invited me to a place like this?” Sat in a booth on the second floor of the bar, Seth furrowed his brows together unhappily. “What pandemonium.” It was an extremely small bar, and both the facilities and overall environment had a shabby air and rustic feel to them. The air even reeked of smoke. Seth raised his head to look at Elijah and Sally in indignation. “How dare you two bring me to a place like this!” “Elijah Moses, it’s not like you’re poor. Didn’t you just get a couple of million dollars from your second uncle the other day?” “Yet, you’ve brought me to have drinks at a place like this?” He had lived like a prince all his youth and had never been in such a position before, not even when he had been thrown out by the Greene family. Every nook and cranny here caused Seth to feel as if he had been tainted. Elijah smiled. “Sal wanted to come here.” Sally rolled her eyes at him. Oh, so he was shifting the blame onto her now? He was the one who had insiste

    The men downstairs began laughing. “Howard, your girlfriend is really good-looking.” “Don’t get too excited though. She may just be using you as a back-up partner, or worse.” The men laughed drunkenly as they patted Howard on the shoulder. “Keep your eyes on your beautiful girlfriend! Can’t have the next person snagging her up!” “Exactly!” One of the men poured Howard another glass of beer. “Howard, have you had sex with her yet?” Howard furrowed his brows and shook his head. The men burst into laughter. “Didn’t you say you two had been together for almost half a month? And you still haven’t had sex with her yet!” “She doesn’t want to.” Howard took careful sips of his beer, a gloomy expression on his face. “She said it’s still too early in the relationship, and we can discuss it later if she knows that I’m the one for her.” The men laughed again. “So, it’ll be a loss for you if she doesn’t think you’re the one for her then.” “Yeah, you’ll have been taking care of

    ————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
