Elijah narrowed his eyes and repeated what Shawn had told him. “You were just being manipulated.” “Even if it wasn’t you thirteen years ago, there would have been someone else.” He shut his eyes and curled his hands into fists. “We can’t just place all the blame on you.” Shawn laughed bitterly. “What’s done is done. It’s my fault.” “I will bear the consequences of my sins.” He stretched and said, “I’ve already made the necessary arrangements. Her auntie will take the family to begin a new life in a place where no one knows them.” “With me gone, no one will come looking for trouble.” Then, he shut his eyes and said, “To be honest, it’s that silly girl I’m most worried about.” “She has a complicated background. Her mom is a strong woman, and her dad…” A second later, he laughed bitterly and said, “I might as well tell you about her past now that I’m here. At least you won’t be as confused when her parents come knocking at your door.” Elijah narrowed his eyes. “Alright

Elijah spent his afternoon at the police station talking to Shawn. When he returned home, he saw that Sally had fallen asleep at her desk whilst holding a book to her chest. His lips curled into a smile when he saw her neatly written notes spread out before her. Her handwriting reflected her personality. They might seem rigid, but you could not help but love them. Taking her into his arms, he helped her change into pajamas before tucking her into bed. “Bayes’ Theorem…” Even when she was fast asleep, the only things that came out of her mouth were what she had been revising. Elijah smiled before pulling the covers over her. The later she knew the truth about Shawn, the better. After all… she still had finals. “Madam stayed up waiting for you.” Elijah had just left the room after putting Sally to bed when he bumped into Aunt Leigh. Aunt Leigh had a serving of warmed garlic butterfish in her hands. “Madam made this for you. She was going to warm this up for you her

“Even when your chauffeur, Ol’ Joe, made a mistake, you would not hesitate to make him go jogging in the rain.” “You… were quite unreasonable in the past.” Elijah shut his eyes as he sank into thought. She had a point. However, he had not dealt any punishments for a long time. “You seemed to have become a whole new person after getting married to Madam.” “Madam is a very friendly person. It made you much more humane…” Suddenly realizing that she might have said something to offend him, Aunt Leigh hurriedly added on, “Madam has had a huge influence on you.” “She… is quite similar to the previous Madam.” The “previous Madam” Aunt Leigh just mentioned was Elijah’s mom. The man’s hold on his cutlery faltered. “I nearly forgot that you used to serve my mom, Aunt Leigh.” He took a deep breath and raised his gaze to look at Aunt Leigh. “Tell me, what do you think my mom would do to the people who set my sister and me on fire if she met them today?” After saying that, h

Sally was awakened by her counselor’s phone call the next morning. She grabbed her phone blearily and did not even look at the caller ID before answering. “Who is this?” “Sally Summers, are you still asleep? It’s already eight o’clock!” The sound of her counselor’s wailing rang in her ears. “Do you still remember that you were that kid who would wake up at 5 in the morning to read every day?” “Do you still remember how you used to prioritize your studies before all else and work diligently every day?” Sally yawned and took a look at the clock. It was indeed past eight. It was true that she had grown lazier after getting married. She used to be able to wake up at 5 on the dot every morning. Now… sigh… “My genius friend is already here.” The counselor coughed lightly as he spoke over the phone. “My friend said that he’s very interested in bun... I mean, students with results like yours. That’s why he’s so eager to begin tutoring you!” Sally frowned, thinking that h

After all, the person on the other end of the line was her counselor, who had the same amount of authority as her previous class teacher. She would get picked on if she was not obedient. “Sir, I’ve already arrived at the library. I’ll be meeting your friend shortly, don’t worry.” With that, she hung up the phone and walked upstairs whilst fuming with resentment. It was quiet on the south side of the library. There was only a man sitting with his back to her as he played a game on his computer.Sally frowned. Could it be that this man, who was currently on a killing spree in his game… be the so-called genius friend that her counselor insisted she get tutored by? Why did the back of his head seem so familiar? Presumably hearing the footsteps behind him, the man shut his computer and turned around——Sally was so shocked, she was at a loss for words. “You… you… you…” “I… I… I… what about me?” Zane smiled cheekily as he crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Sal

Sally brought Zane to a nearby noodle house.Zane, who had never been to A City, was fascinated by everything. He asked the owner about everything on the menu. “Is jajangmyeon or lo mein tastier?” “What’s the difference between ramen and chow mein?” “Do you serve ramen here?” Sally, “...” She just wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in when she saw the boss glaring resentfully at her. Zane continued talking.Unable to do anything else, she sent Elijah a text. “Remember to have lunch!” The man soon replied to her text. “I will. You have a good lunch too.” “I will. Don’t tire yourself out!” “You too.” Sally felt her mood improve immeasurably as she read the texts he sent her. The annoyance she had felt at Zane disappeared into thin air. “What are you looking at? Why are you so happy?” Zane finally finished arguing with the owner and sat down before Sally. He smiled at her as he asked, “Are you texting Elijah” Sally pocketed her phone and rolled her

Sally, “...” “So you’re set on tutoring me, is that right?” “Yes.” The man nodded solemnly. “I need to make sure you score full marks in every subject during your finals so that I can get a break.” Sally, “...” He made it sound as if it were an actual thing. However, it did seem that she was less likely to slack off if Zane was there. The next few days, she formed a habit of waking up at seven to head to the library and returning home at nine at night. Even Elijah praised her for being so hardworking. Everything was going as planned. In three days, Sally had not only caught up on all the topics she had missed but also gone through all the notes she had made for each subject. She had three days left before her finals. On the fourth day, she had just woken up and was getting ready to head to the library when she received a call from Zoey. “Sis…” Zoey’s nervous voice traveled through the phone. “Um… can you… accompany me on a trip back to the Williams house?”

Zoey stared bewilderedly at Zane. “Sis, who is this…” “Your backup brother-in-law.” Zane smiled at Zoey as he leaned against the door. Zoey, “..” Sally, “...” She took a deep breath and walked over to whack him with her bag. “What are you talking about?” “Well, you were the one who came out to play without taking me with you!” Zane pouted and looked innocently at Sally. Sally was so angry she was about to lose her mind. She glared at Zane. “This is a private matter between my friend and me, it has nothing to do with you!” “Don’t follow us!” However, Zane had already arrived. There was no way he was not going to follow them. Thus… “Bunny, bunny, where are we?”“Bunny, bunny, what are we doing here?” Sally kept rolling her eyes at him in annoyance. On the other hand, Zoey explained things to him patiently. “This is my home.” “I’m going to cut ties with my family and travel to someplace far away.” “However, before I do that, I want to collect my late mot

————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
