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

She had thought that… since Sally was from a rural village, there was no way she would have thought of the invitations. Who would have thought… that she would have remembered that she couldn’t enter the venue without an invitation the night before! Old Master Tate sighed and said, “I’m an old man, and I told her that it’s alright if she didn’t have an invitation. She could come and go as she pleased.” “Do you know what this girl told me?” “This girl said that nothing could be accomplished if there weren’t rules to keep things in place. She will not be able to enter without an invitation, and she refused to bend any rules the Tate family had set up.” “When I saw how stubborn this girl was, I procured a blank card and wrote her an invitation on the spot so that she would be able to attend tonight’s banquet.” Bennett Tate furrowed his brows when Old Master Tate said that and raised his gaze to look at Sally. Approval flashed through his eyes. “Sadly, the invitation I wrote w

“Grandpa, you must be joking… right?” Queenie crawled over to tug on Old Master Tate’s shirt. The imprint of Bennett’s palm, as well as tear streaks, could still be seen on her face. “Grandpa, you’re kidding, right?” “How could I… not be part of the Tate family?” “I’ve… I’ve always been part of the Tate family.” Old Master Tate snorted as he took hold of Queenie’s fist on his shirt and slowly pried each finger off his shirt. “You are not.” Queenie flew into a panic. She turned to look at Bennett. “Dad, I…” Bennett had a sad look on his face, but he still sighed and said, “What your grandfather said is true.” The crowd gasped in shock. Old Master Tate looked at Bennett. “Time to make the announcement.” “So, it goes like this.” Bennett took a deep breath and slowly made his way to the landing on the second floor so that he could see everyone present. “I’m sure you all must be wondering why I organized such a grand party for my forty-sixth birthday. Why, I’m not ev

She collapsed onto the ground and shook her head. “This isn’t true…” “This isn’t true!” Jill crawled over and held her in her arms. “Queenie, the DNA testing center must have made a mistake. They must have made a mistake!” Bennett’s heart hurt as he watched her from the stage. He was human. He had emotions. After all, he had treated Queenie as his child for nineteen years. No matter what, his heart would still ache for her when he saw the state she was in. However…The truth always hurt. He took a deep breath and continued speaking. “I could not accept this result either, so I had our DNA tested about ten times, and even switched DNA testing centers just to be sure. All results came back conclusive that Queenie Tate has no blood relation to me.” “In the end, after a month’s worth of sleuthing, it was confirmed that Natalie had left a child behind when she had left me. However, she had taken another one with her.” “The Tate family thinks that Natalie adopted a child

————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
