Warm sunlight peeked through the blinds the next morning.

Sally opened her eyes blearily. Her body ached all over.

Propping herself up in bed, she grabbed her phone to take a look at the time. Holy sh*t, it was already past 10!

The girl dragged her aching body out of bed as she cursed at Elijah under her breath…

He had not stopped his fun even after midnight had passed!

And he refused to listen even when she sobbed and told him to remember that they were not at home. They were in the Tate household!

The girl dragged her aching body out of bed and freshened herself before slowly making her way out of bed.

“Yo, the bunny’s awake!”

She was greeted with the sound of a man mocking her the minute she stepped out of the room.

Startled, she instinctively turned towards the source of the sound.

And was greeted with the sight of Zane lounging lazily on the sofa in their guest bedroom, munching on peanuts as he watched a Korean drama.

It was as if this was not Sally and Elij

    “You might as well have just called me dumb and foolish.” Sally pursed her lips. She appreciated what Zane had said about her aunt and uncle. “It’s true that my aunt and uncle are good people.” “However, they’re just a couple of honest farmers from the countryside. You wouldn’t know them even if I told you their names, so it’s better that you don’t ask!” She smiled and waved at him. “Goodbye! Remember to tell Grandpa that I enjoyed the pastries!” Then, the girl sat back down on the sofa and turned her back toward him. “Blair, where did your big bro go?” “My big bro… has gone to a business meeting…” Zane shook his head and turned around to leave. When he delivered the pastry box to the main house and returned to his guest room, Jill was waiting for him. Arms crossed, she leaned against the door and asked, “You’ve been gone for the whole morning. Managed to get a conversation going with your bunny?” Zane smiled as he entered the room and sat down on the sofa. “I’ve finish

    Sally and Blair spent the day watching Korean dramas at the Tate household. Elijah only returned late in the evening, bringing a trail of dust with him. He had returned late, and dinner was already over by the time he came back. Thus, Sally teamed up with one of the servants to slip out, buy a fish, and prepare a serving of garlic butterfish for Elijah in the kitchen. She was just bringing the steaming fish into their bedroom when the man returned. “Hubby, it’s been a busy day for you. You haven’t eaten, right?” The girl smiled as she passed him a fork. “I haven’t had the chance to cook for you in the longest time.” The man had spent his day getting annoyed at financial statements, but the hint of a smile tugged at his lips. He lifted a hand to ruffle her hair and said, “You’re the best.” Sally giggled and blushed. “You’re my husband, and I’m your wife. It’s my duty to cook for you.” Elijah smiled as he picked up his fork to tuck in. The aromatic garlic butter paire

    She would be lying if she said her heart did not hurt when she saw how tired he was. However, she was a fool who did not understand his business in the slightest and could not help him. The only place where she could help in any way was by preparing him a serving of garlic butterfish at the end of a long day. The girl sighed. “Am I useless…” Frankly, if Elijah had not pretended to be ill before, there was no doubt he could have married an excellent wife with his status, place in society, and good looks. It was just… he was unlucky and had ended up marrying her. And she was too lucky to have married him. The man’s fingers moved. A second later, his other hand found its way onto her head. “What are you thinking about?” His low voice laced with equal parts tiredness and doting. “I’m happy as long as I have you by my side.” “I’ve told you that I don’t need you to do anything. I’m satisfied as long as I have you accompanying me.” The man smiled. “Wifey, I’m tired.” “

    Sally did not feel pleased. She took a deep breath as she stood up and gazed directly into Queenie’s eyes. “Miss Tate, I’m not sure how the fact that I used to live in a rural village has offended you.” “I don’t think the fact that I spent many years on a farm is worth the number of times you have mentioned it.” “Every person has the right to live their life the way they wish to. Perhaps you think that every person who lives in the country is uncouth, but in my village, everyone treated others with kindness. There weren’t many, or any, people like you, Miss Tate. They don’t find fault with everyone they meet. Until now, Sally had always kept quiet or pretended to not understand what she meant whenever Queenie mocked her. This was the first time Sally had actually retaliated. And it had happened at Bennet’s birthday banquet. When the crowd heard what Sally had said, they turned around and began whispering to each other. Desperate to regain the upper hand, Queenie was jus

    “That’s so embarrassing. What’s she doing here without an invitation?” “She can’t just disregard the rules because Old Master Tate’s fond of her…” Queenie and Jill became even more delighted as the number of accusations of Sally increased. Sally took a deep breath to consolidate her thoughts. “It’s not that I don’t want to show you my invitation. However, I was wondering if Ms. Tate is declaring war against the Moses family with the attitude she’s showing right now?” Queenie furrowed her brows. “What do you mean, declare war? All I want to do is take a look at your invitation, but you’re stalling.” Why did this girl know so much? Sally smiled. “Everyone’s been calling me a country bumpkin, so I took a couple of days to brush up on my knowledge regarding upper-class social etiquette.” “The way you’re acting now, Ms. Tate, is disrespectful toward the Moses family.” “If I don’t show you my invitation, I’m disobeying the rules set by the Tate family.” “However, if I do sh

    Everyone took Jill’s lead to laugh at Sally. “Sally Summers, at the very least, you’re still Elijah Moses’ wife. If you wanted to attend the party, you could have just begged Queenie to let you in. I’m sure she would have given you an invitation for Elijah’s sake.” “Why did you have to forge such a crude invitation?” “Aren’t you embarrassed?” The longer Jill continued speaking, the prouder and more excited she became. She had never seen eye to eye with Sally Summers! Elijah was a rarity with his looks, intelligence, and riches all combined into one! She had been classmates with Queenie for a long time. When Queenie had sent the invitation on Bennet’s behalf, she had even told her that Elijah was the only golden bachelor who would be attending the banquet. Thus, they had even decided that they would have a fair competition when Elijah arrived. Alas, who would have thought that Elijah would bring his wife with him! It was already hurtful enough that they could not nab

    Jill huffed as she pushed Sally away. “You imitated a Tate’s handwriting to forge an invitation for yourself. You won’t get away with it once they hear of this!” “Well, aren’t you going to get out?” “Don’t make us call the guards!” Sally stood rooted to the spot. “I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I leave??” “F*ck!” Jill gritted her teeth. “You’re still saying you didn’t do anything wrong?”“Queenie!”Queenie narrowed her eyes and signaled for the guards as she took the invitation Sally had given her and prepared to shred it. Better destroy all evidence!However, she had not expected someone to jump onto her the minute she started shredding the invitation. Sally pounced onto Queenie, pinned her to the ground, and grabbed the invitation away from her. “Miss Tate, why would you destroy this invitation if it was forged?” “Wouldn’t it be better to use as proof against your claims?” Queenie did not even have the strength to get back up when Sally was sitting on top

    Jill nearly fell to the ground. She could not believe her ears.The girl asked dumbfoundedly, “Grandfather Tate, what… what did you say?” “My name is Jordan Tate.” Old Master Tate might be old, but he was still alert. A simple glance from him was enough to make Jill’s legs go weak. The old man said coldly, “I was on the second floor just now, and I witnessed everything that you said and did.” Then, he raised an arm and took Sally’s invitation from her, which was already missing a corner, and gazed at it. “I wrote these very words that Miss Larson deemed were hideous, and similar to the scrawl of a first-grader.” Jill lost all strength in her legs. If no one had caught her, she would have ended up kneeling next to Queenie. She gritted her teeth. “Grandpa Tate, you’re… you’re joking, right?” The handwriting on the invitation was so ugly, how could it have been the handwriting of the previous head of the Tate household?“Miss Larson, do I look like I’m joking?” Old M

    ————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
