Brows furrowed together, Sally took one last look downstairs before she left.Howard was sitting between the group of men, sipping sullenly on his beer. She pursed her lips as a wave of discomfort washed over her. Perhaps Elijah was right. Although Howard had not done as they had said, he had accepted everything they had told him. Otherwise, he would not have gotten into an argument with them, and he would not be quietly drinking his beer now. Sally shuddered inwardly. She too was a beginner in a relationship and was in no way an expert. However, she could say with utmost certainty that Howard’s attitude was not right. “A relationship is something you willingly invest in, and not something in which calculate your every single gain and loss.” Elijah seemed to have guessed the reason behind Sally’s gloominess. He wrinkled his brows and spoke softly as he drove. “Did you ever think about what I could give you in return when you decided to give birth to my children and t

Sally stood at the banister and glared at him. What did he mean she did not like shortcake!? She did enjoy eating shortcakes, but she would have to wait for him to give her a chance to have it first! Sally wanted to cry! Aunt Leigh nodded sagely when she heard what Elijah had said. “It’s perfectly fine for girls to cut out sugar from their diet.” Then, she laid her cards down. “Why don’t you head upstairs first, sir? I’ll bring it up to you shortly.” The man nodded and walked toward the staircase, then turned around abruptly as a thought occurred to him. “Give me more cream.” Aunt Leigh, “...” “Yes sir.” Why had her employer, a twenty-six-year-old man, fallen in love with shortcakes all of a sudden? It was true when they said that people changed once they got in a relationship… When Elijah entered the bedroom, Sally had sprawled across the bed and was texting Evonne. She had summarized the conversation she had had with Elijah into several concise points and was

When Evonne raised her head, her eyes collided with Seth’s cool gaze. Her lips curled into a mocking smile. “Am I drunk?” Why would she be seeing him if she were not drunk? Hadn’t he told her that he had fallen in love with his blind date and that she should give up on him and cherish Howard? So why, when she had finally decided to make the effort to have a drink with Howard, did he decide to appear before her without any warning in advance? And had even caused her to drop her cup? The girl raised her arm and pushed him away. “Get away from me!” She could not do anything to him when she was sober, but the rules did not apply when she was drunk, right? The man did not move and stood rooted to the spot. His dark eyes glinted calmly as he stared at her. “Evonne Turner, how long are you going to continue fooling around!?” It was fine if she had a boyfriend, but why had she gotten together with a scumbag like him? This scumbag’s friends were all egging him on to not re

A boy dressed in a blue tracksuit leaned lazily against the banister of the stairs on the second floor. He said in a clear voice, “Do you need help?” The man smiled. “You didn’t go back with them?” Blair pouted. “They were kissing. I don’t like to see that.” Seth smiled. “Alright, I’ll take you to the boxing gym once I’m done with these people. You can take me one-on-one there!” “Alright!” The boy’s eyes crinkled as he smiled. “Hurry up!” “Alright.” The man unbuttoned his shirt elegantly and intertwined his hands, cracking his knuckles. “I was just thinking that I didn’t have any place to vent my frustrations.” For a while, crashing sounds resonated throughout the bar. Through the wails of the people around him, Seth smirked as he looked at the ugly man standing before Evonne. “Do you want to fight me, or do you want to hand her over to me?” Evonne was sprawled drunkenly on the table. Howard’s face blanched as he switched between turning to look at Evonne and then

Sally spent her night under Elijah, so she had no idea what had happened between Evonne, Seth, and the rest. She only knew that Howard had a bruised nose the next day. It was said to have been punched by Seth. Seth had beaten up his friends too. Evonne could not provide any contextual details, and Howard refused to talk about it. However, according to him, he had gotten punched in the face when trying valiantly to stop Seth from taking advantage of Evonne. To compensate Howard for getting a punch to the face because of her, Evonne promised him that she would accompany him to take part in the photography association’s event at the end of the month. They would be going on a photography trip in the country. Sally had accompanied Evonne to every group activity ever since she had started college. Besides, Elijah had told her to report on Evonne’s movements that night. Thus, after reporting to him, Sally pestered him, “I want to go too.” She had been spending every single d

And several thick photography manuals. Seth seemed to be holding back a smile as he placed these items on the coffee table and looked at Sally. “I bought all these a couple of years ago, but I’ve never used or even looked at them. They’re brand new.” Sally glanced in shock at the camera lenses in the box. “How… do I use these…” “The manuals cover everything.” Seth sat down on the coffee table and shifted into a comfortable position before he accepted a cup of tea from Aunt Leigh. “Where’s Elijah?” “He went upstairs to attend a video conference right after lunch.” Sally flicked through the manuals curiously. “Hmm, aperture…” Seth laughed when he saw how she seemed to understand nothing. “Why the sudden interest in photography?” “I was shocked when Elijah phoned me. Couldn’t believe that a bumpkin like you was beginning to become sophisticated.” Sally half-rolled her eyes at him. “It’s not a sudden interest.” She spoke softly as she leafed through the manual. “Howard’

Seth did not reply. He tossed everything to Sally and said, “She can fall from grace any way she likes, it’s none of my business.” Then, he went upstairs with a gloomy expression on his face. Sally rolled her eyes at him. And she rolled her eyes at him again. Was he crazy or what! Evonne had gotten together with the man who had been pursuing her for a year, how was that considered a fall from grace? Besides, even though Sally felt that Howard was no match for Evonne, a relationship was something subjective. Just like how Javier Yates had thought that Elijah was not a good match for her and that he was an evil person. However, she knew just how great of a person Elijah was. It was the same thing with Evonne. As her friend, she could dislike Howard, but she could stop herself from letting her personal convictions restrict Evonne. It was a good thing that Evonne was not hung up on Seth, but that man was making it seem as if it was a crime that Evonne and Howard were

Paula leaned on the windowsill and glanced coolly at Sally, who was taking pictures of the flowers in the flowerbeds during their break. “She’s becoming even cockier.” Zoey furrowed her brows as leaned against the window and read. “Perhaps she did not have the means to before, and now that she’s been presented with the opportunity, she’s learning to her heart’s content.” Then, she raised her gaze to look at the girl with the camera, an odd glint flashing through her eyes. “To be honest, it’s quite nice to… be able to do what you like.” Thirteen years ago, she had been deprived of that opportunity. Paula pursed her lips. “Zoey, I heard that Sally Summers will be taking part in the photography trip organized by the photography society at the end of the month. My friend in the photography society told me that there are two spots left. Should we go?” She raised her gaze to look at Sally. “If an accident occurs when we’re in the countryside…” Zoey closed her eyes. “I’m not inter

————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
