Sally spent her day in the exam hall. When she finished her last paper in the evening, she stretched and was just about to turn on her phone when Evonne ran up to her. She grabbed hold of Sally. “Seth just texted me. He told me to tell you not to rush home after your exams and go over to the Moses family mansion first.” Sally frowned. “Moses family mansion?” “Yes.” Evonne scratched her head. She did not fully understand what Seth had said either. “He said that you should go have a heart-to-heart with Mr. Moses Sr.” “I think Elijah needs Mr. Moses Sr to help solve whatever problem he’s facing right now.” “However, they’ve never been on good terms, so he needs your help.” Sally thought for a moment before she nodded and said, “Alright.” Seth was Elijah’s best friend. There was no need for him to lie to her. Besides, given Elijah’s nature, there was no way he would beg Mr. Moses Sr for help even if he desperately needed it. It was really up to her when it came to t
“Ahh--!” The thought had just occurred to her when the footsteps behind her came to a stop. The next second, she fell backward as someone pulled on her bag-- Sally fell into Wendell’s arms. “Let go of me!” She struggled. She had been on guard all along but had not expected Wendell to make a move against her even when she had nearly stepped into the living room! “What are you screaming about!’ The man hurriedly covered her mouth and dragged her to a secluded corner in the garden. “Did you think I would let you go when I finally found you alone?” “I was so annoyed when that blind interrupted us!” Sally struggled and bit his hand. “Let go of me!” “Have you forgotten what I swore the last time? If you ever touch me again--” Wendell became angered when she brought up what happened the last time. He raised his hand and slapped her across the face. “How dare you bring that up?” “You’re always pretending to be a pious virgin in front of me?” “And look what happened?
Sally did not expect Wendell to slap her again. She lost her balance and fell towards the pillars, but thankfully Seth managed to catch her in time so that she did not crash into the pillar. Mr. Moses Sr had one of the butlers help him out of the house when he heard the commotion. He immediately understood what had happened when he saw the imprint on Sally’s face, how disheveled her clothing was, and Wendell. “You animal!” Mr. Moses Sr banged his cane against the ground and ordered the butler, “Bring him out and whip him. Whip him till he can no longer make a sound!” “Wait.” Seth smiled slightly as he put away the camera. “Young Master Wendell was harassing Elijah’s wife. Don’t you think Elijah should be the one dealing with him?” “What if Elijah is not satisfied with the way you’re punishing him? Wouldn’t Young Master Moses have been whipped for nothing?” Mr. Moses Sr grunted and glared at Seth. “You have no right to meddle in Moses' family matters!” “What if I wan
“It doesn’t matter if it’s me, my brother, or my parents. None of them are allowed to fight with you over it.” Lucille rolled her eyes when she heard what Freya had to say. “Freya, your voice is already hoarse. Might do you good not to say so much.” “Your face might be horrifying, but at least your voice is alright.” “Aren’t you afraid that karma might hit you if you continue spewing b*llshit and that you’ll never be able to talk again?” Freya laughed coldly. “You think too much, Aunt Lucille.” “I’ll still talk even after you die.” Mr. Moses Sr frowned when he heard these cutting remarks.“Enough!” He banged on the ground with his cane. “How many years has it been since you last met?” “And you still fight the minute you reunite!” “Grandpa, you should know that I have no interest in seeing her.” Freya continued smiling coldly. Lucille rolled her eyes. “Me neither!” As the two women continued bickering, Elijah sat beside Sally and gently applied medicinal ointmen
No one present in the Moses house could say anything in response to what Freya had just said. Fear bloomed in Sally’s heart as she stared at Freya. She had always known that Elijah’s second uncle was a prime suspect in the murders of his parents and sister. She also understood that although Elijah had never had much to do with Moses Corporation, he also knew that it was the pride and joy of several different generations within the Moses family. He had also told her that when his parents were still alive, they had talked about how much they valued this corporation and what they were going to do to help it grow and flourish. However, all Freya wanted now was to destroy this hundred-year-old corporation.Daniel wanted it too much, so she wanted to destroy everything. At first glance, there was nothing wrong with this logic.However, Moses Corporation was not to be blamed either. The millions of workers employed at Moses Corporation were not to be blamed either. No other
However, Freya was still determined to destroy everything. “What happened to your parents…” Daniel shut his eyes and laughed bitterly. “You would not have believed it if I hadn’t admitted to doing it.” “However, the thing is…” He laughed bitterly as he raised his gaze to look at Freya. “Freya, you’ve wanted to accuse me of vague reasons over the years so that I would go down along with your parents.” “I see that you haven’t let go of your hate for me even after thirteen years.” “Yes, I did lie to your mother so that she would transfer all the assets under her name to me.” “However, I never intended to bring them harm.” Freya gripped onto the sides of her wheelchair as she said in a low voice, “They’ve been dead for years. It’s your word against theirs.” “Who else would have any motives to kill my parents other than you?” Mr. Moses Sr did not speak throughout this. Then, he sighed and turned to look at Elijah, who was still treating Sally’s wound. “Elijah, what do
The entire household fell silent. Lucille frantically rose to her feet and hid her precious son behind her back. “No one is allowed to touch my son’s eyes!” “Elijah Moses, how could you be this cruel!” “All he did was touch your idiot wife, and you want his eyes in return!” “I--!” “Uncle Daniel.” Elijah raised his gaze and glanced at Daniel. “I’m giving you a choice.” “If you agree to let me take control of Moses Corporation and swear that you’ll no longer meddle in its operations, I’ll let things go and not do anything to his eyes.” “However, if you choose to give up your son’s eyes, I will only take things out on Daniel Corporation, which you have sole ownership of. I will also back out of the race for ownership of Moses Corporation.” “My sister wants to destroy Moses Corporation, and you want to retain Moses Corporation. That will be an issue between the two of you. I will stay out of it.”“Elijah!”Freya gritted her teeth and reprimanded him. She had lost Zoey
After saying this, the man sighed. “Seth, give Jameson a call. When you finish the call, come find me.”Seth’s face blanched, and he nodded.On the other hand, Elijah enveloped Sally in his arms and loped off.Sally’s eyes were shut tight. She did not even dare to open them.She admitted that as a medical student, she should not be afraid of any bloody scene.However, she really did not dare to see that scene earlier.She dared not.Even if Wendell was a bad person who had hurt her before, she could not bear to see a scene like that…Holding her, Elijah took large strides into the car.“It’s alright.“It’s alright.”Sally flinched in Elijah’s arms. “Is this… the true Moses family?”Elijah’s hands that were holding hers stilled slightly.A moment later, he chuckled bitterly and nodded.“This is the real Moses family.”Sally nodded. Her teeth even started chattering.She suddenly understood why Elijah had to pretend he was a blind man before this—why he had to pretend he
————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
