The Caucasian employee he had abruptly stopped replying to on the computer just now had already sent him more than ten messages.[Boss, where did I not do well enough on that you arenât even willing to criticize me?[Boss, if I didnât do well enough, you must let me know; Iâll definitely correct it.[You havenât replied to me for so long, Boss. You couldnât be considering how to fire me, could you?[BossâŠ]Elijah shook his head helplessly. [Donât overthink.[I have no problems with you. My wife just pulled out my laptopâs power source just now.]The employee: [âŠ][However, the mistake in your report earlier did indeed disappoint me very much.]The employee instantly became fearful again. [Then, Boss, IâŠ][Iâll give you a chance to make up for it.[Tell me, what mall did our company open recently?]The employee: [âŠ]âSir, youâre already so lazy that you canât even remember your own mall franchiseâs name anymore?ââŠHalf an hour later, Pierre parked the car in front of the
The real reason Sally wanted to toss Elijah in the menâs resting area alone was because she had a mission. She wanted to buy Elijah a gift.The whole time they were together, whatever she ate, used. and spent were basically all his.On the other hand, she had never done anything substantial for him.Two days ago, the money from her bursary was sent to her account. This was the last time she would receive the bursary.After all, ever since she married Elijah, she could not be considered a poor student anymore. As such, she felt that the schoolâs bursary should be given to others who need it more.However, as she had applied for this bursary in the last semester, it was still sent to her according to the schoolâs regulations.As she walked, she pondered. With $8000, what kind of present could she get himâŠHe wanted nothing and lacked nothing. The clothes he usually wore were all in the five figures.The girl frowned as she browsed. A pen? A cufflink? A tie?Just as she was deep
âArenât you going to take a look at the price?âSally was very tired from all the running and completely missed the deeper meaning behind the shop assistantâs words. As she panted, she waved her hand dismissively. âIâm not going to look at the price. Iâll take it!âOnce these words left her mouth, Queenieâs face instantly turned pale as she had just given up on the bag because of the price.Jillâs brows furrowed as well, and she raised her hand to block the saleswoman who was just about to ring it up. âMs. Tate will take this bag.â âAlright, Iâll wrap it up for Ms. Tate.âThe salesperson nodded frantically.Sally frowned deeply. âBut I said I wanted it first.âShe had clearly heard Queenie say to forget it and that she was not buying it, which was why she had spoken up.She did not like to be petty. Ignoring the fact that Queenie had a grudge against her, even if it were a stranger, if someone else had spoken up first, she would not come over to fight for it. At most, she woul
The salesgirl was startled.If she remembered correctly, her boss... was someone unreachable.Why would a student like her speak as if her husband was the boss?Although the salesgirl did not believe Sally's words, she quickly put down the bag and got up to search for the name of the mall owner so that she would stop arguing with Ms. Tate...A minute later, the salesgirl walked over with a smile, picked up the bag, and smiled at Sally. "Mrs. Moses, would you like to use cash or card?""Card."Jill did not expect the salesgirl to behave that way.She was shocked to see the salesgirlâs attitude make a 180-degree turn "Why, you!"What kind of attitude is this?!"She was furious. "Queenie has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars here every month over the past few years! How could you treat a long-standing customer like this!?"The salesgirl did not look back. "Miss, we can afford to lose a big customer like Ms. Tate, but we can't lose the bossâs wife!"Jill was horrified. "How
"Sheâs going to use it while she goes square dancing with the other aunts in the village! Itâll look great on her!âJill, "..."Queenie, "..."âŠAfter sending away the two parasites, Sally happily put the bag away and continued to stroll around the mall.After shopping for a long time, she finally chose a pen which she planned to give to Elijah.The pen he usually used in the study seemed a bit old.She guessed that the pen must have meant a lot to him.That was why she intended to give him a new pen and let him store the other one for keepsake.By the time she finished shopping, Elijah had also finished arguing with Seth.After instructing Pierre to send the things to Tate Manor, Elijah took Sally to a popular steakhouse.The man looked at her slicing her steak clumsily across from him and smiled helplessly."Eat this."Elijah gracefully pushed the cut steak toward her and took her cut of steak that had been cut crookedly.Sally smiled embarrassedly. "I'm a little stupid
"However, youâre the one protecting me now!"Sally smiled and looked up at Elijah. Her smile was so big that her eyes were half-closed. "I am very happy to have married you."When she was seventeen, she wished to marry a man who was handsome, well-mannered, rich, and who spoiled her.Evonne even laughed at her dreams for being too far-fetched.Who could have thought that a little girl from the countryside would actually end up... marrying someone like Elijah.No one would have believed it.That was why other people were jealous of her, sarcastic toward her, and constantly laughed at her. She took all of it in her stride.She took all of it in her stride because she was beyond blessed!Elijah looked at her face and could not help smiling."Sal."He looked at her solemnly before saying to her across the table, "Iâll be good to you forever.""I know!"The girl smiled and plated some vegetables into his bowl. "When shall we go back to A City?"Evonne said that Zoey's drumstick
"Woah! Little Bunny is still a good student!"Zane smiled and winked at the old man. "Any praise for her?"The old man stroked his beard helplessly and smiled. "Good grades means that Sal is serious!"Sheâs much better than my son!"When he was still in school, he just wanted to run away with his guitar!âThe middle-aged Bennett frowned and coughed. "Dad!"Why talk about the embarrassment of his youth in front of a group of irrelevant juniors?"Hey, why are you shouting at me? Itâs not like shouting at me will make your grades any better!âThe old man glared at him and continued to hold Sally's hand with a smile. "Study hard, fulfill your dreams, and chase your passion!â"Don't... don't be like Eli. All his days are filled with work.âSally pursed her lips. "Yes, Grandpa. I will.â"I really like you, so visit often in the future!"The old man held Sally's hand as tears rolled down his cheeks. âAfter you leave, I wonât be able to see my happy pill!"I wonât be happy!"Sall
Sally pursed her lips. "The person you talked about⊠is your family business in A City?""Smart girl!"Zane smiled brightly at Sally. "Initially, the head of my family gave me the money for the ticket, but when I talked to Old Master Tate, the old man felt that I should save this money for my future wife!"Sally was amused by his serious expression. "Your future wife?""Then I suppose youâre really working hard at it. You donât even have a girlfriend yet, but youâre talking about your future wife ten years in advance.âZane chuckled. "That's..."After he said that, he suddenly felt something was wrong. "Little Bunny, what do you mean?""I'm already twenty-five. Are you cursing me that Iâll only get a wife when Iâm thirty-five? How evil of you!âSally shrugged and dragged her suitcase out of the room. "Was that evil? I was just making a reasonable guess."Youâre such an annoying person, Iâm just guessing that your future wife would be very reluctant to show up for the time bein
ââââOne 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 Cityâs 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. âWhen I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.â âHowever, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.â âWho would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freyaâs younger brother. As per her wishes, Iâll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.â Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. âMy beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.â 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
âIf you destroy everything I have, then Iâll destroy everything you have!â Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, âIf it werenât for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!â âItâs all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. Iâve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!â âSally Summers, itâs all your fault! Everything is because of you!â âI wonât forgive you even if I become a ghost!â âAlright then, go be a ghost!â Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenieâs chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. âElijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!â âIf you canât choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!â âYour sister is just one part of my plan!â âYou probably donât know this yet.â Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, âYou areâŠâ âIâm the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.â She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the womanâs face turned increasingly paler. âYou have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.â âWe just met the other day.â She shook her head as she spoke. âIt makes sense, though. Itâs only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.â âForgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you donât have many days left.â âWhen youâre gone, heâs going to leave his daughter and marry me.â The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, âImpossible⊠Thatâs impossibleâŠâ âQuincy, heâŠâ âNothing is impossible.â Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the womanâs face. âLook, Iâm pregnant.â âHow could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences donât exi
âIn your dreams!â Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. âI wouldnât want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!â The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. âYouâre going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?â âYou planted your seed in my stomach.â Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. âSo, what do you want?â âLetâs meet up.â Queenie yawned. âCan you pick a place?â âThereâs a cafe nearby the hospital.â Quincy sighed. âI donât have much time for you, so donât try talking nonsense after we meet.ââWhat a man you are, trying to ghost someone after youâve slept with them.â The woman shrugged nonchalantly. âAlright. You can wait for me. Iâll be there soon.â She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. âWhy do you want me to meet her?â âYouâve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.â âThis time, Quincy, youâre the bait.
The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincyâs 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. Elijahâs cold voice rang beside his ear. âDo you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?â âHave you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?â 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 Quincyâs eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. âItâs my fault.â âItâs all my fault!â âFreya⊠I canât live without you.â âI cannot⊠IâŠâ 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 womanâs face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincyâs 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!âIs there anything you would like to say?â Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sallyâs lips pursed themselves together when Freyaâs 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 Zoeyâs life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sallyâs mother during her and Elijahâs 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. âFreyaâŠâ âFreya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.â Freyaâs 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 doctorâs 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. âUnhealthy stuff.â Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. âI donât care if itâs not nutritious! Iâm hungry⊠Hubby?â The emotions in the womanâs eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijahâs neck and jumped into his arms. âYouâre back!â âI missed you so much!â 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 Freyaâs heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. âItâs steady! The patientâs heartbeat is steady again!â The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it werenât for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! âDr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!â âOf course.â A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, âHow did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?â The young nurseâs mouth widened in surprise. âIn that case⊠why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?â The senior doctor sighed. âI guess they have their reasonsâŠâ In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. âDr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?â Sa
