Uh… hit a woman…

Bennett coughed lightly as he raised his gaze toward Cynthia.

He admitted that he was furious, but not to the point where he could raise a hand toward a young girl.

The girl looked about the same age as his Sal, and he was a man nearing his forties. Even if he was going to hit a woman, he couldn’t hit one as young as her, could he?

Other people who didn’t know better might even think he was disciplining his daughter.

He frowned and caught a glimpse of the corner of a navy-blue shirt hidden in the shadows.

The man frowned. “Blair?”

The thirteen-year-old boy stepped out of the shadows slowly. “I’m here.”

Bennett gave him a look. “Do you see her? She’s hurting your brother and sister-in-law.”

"Beat her up."

“Okay.”

Blair nodded and strode toward Cynthia.

Cynthia stared coldly at Blair. “Don’t you dare touch me.

“I’m Elijah’s future…”

“Slap–!”

She did not manage to finish her sentence before Blair slapped her. Then, he pushed her onto the ground

    What an honor it was to be the recipient of something so glorious! This could be brought up in all manners of circumstance in the future to garner the respect of everyone present! “I don’t like your brother that much.” Bennett yawned and glanced cooly at Freya. “We’re here to visit Sal.” The expression on Freya’s face froze. “Vist… Sally Summers?” What did the girl have that made her worth a visit!? The adopted daughter of an arsonist. A country bumpkin. A… woman who did not know any better!“Yes.” Bennett freed himself from Jordan’s arm and walked over to Pierre to take Sally’s unconscious body from him. “We’re here for her.” He frowned and tried to pull Elijah’s arm off her but failed to do so. Cynthia laughed. Her face was riddled with bruises. “You can’t break them apart!“All of us tried, and we all failed!“The only way to separate them is to carve off that b*tch’s flesh!” Bennett frowned and raised his foot, which was encased in a handmade leather bo

    Cynthia’s eyes grew wide. “Sis…” If Freya said that, it meant that she was admitting that Sally and Elijah would not be separated! Well then, what did that make her?!Cynthia used the wall to support herself as she struggled to her feet and limped over to Freya. “Sis, didn’t you say that they would be getting divorced soon?“Aren’t I supposed to be Elijah’s wife?” Old Master Tate smiled as he stroked his beard. “Young lady, are you going to marry Elijah?“Will you still marry him and serve him if he lost both his arms?” Cynthia stared at him. Of course she would not do that! She had already refused to marry Elijah when she first heard that he was blind! If Elijah had not clarified that he was sighted, she would never have thought about marrying him! Who would be as dumb as Sally Summers to get married to a disabled man! However, she kept these thoughts to herself. Meanwhile, on the surface, she plastered a genuine smile onto her face as she said, “Of course I will!

    He glared at Freya as he said that. Freya hurriedly lowered her head and said, “I understand.” “You.” Old Master Tate pointed at Pierre and Blair. “And you.“Take the two unconscious people and follow me!” Startled, Freya said, “Grandfather Tate, what are you…“Elijah is not in good shape, he needs to recuperate at the hospital…” “Recuperate my ass!” Old Master Tate spat, “You’ll stir up more trouble if I let him recuperate here.“I don’t trust you!” He glared coldly at Pierre. “Bring these two back to the Moses house!” “Get the old man at the Moses house to take a good look at how his grandson and granddaughter abused my granddaughter!” Pierre nodded. “Yes sir.” With that, he and Blair helped Elijah and Sally into the elevator. Old Master Tate yawned and glanced at Bennett. “I’ll leave this to you. Get to the Moses family house when you’re done. We’ll make that old man pay!” “Alright.” Bennett nodded and watched his father leave with the two youngsters.

    Shabby…Freya had uttered that word many times in her life. She had even used it to describe Sally’s background. However, never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that it would be used against her, or the Moses family. Yet, it made sense when the word was used by someone from the Tate family. Freya’s fingers squeezed together as she knelt on the ground. She gritted her teeth and said, “I understand that the Moses family is no match for the Tate family.” “However, this is a private matter between Elijah and Sally. We might be their family members, but… we should not meddle.” If what Bennett said was true. Sally was indeed the young lady of the Tate family. There was no way she was going to separate Elijah from Sally. Everyone knew that Bennett did not have a son. He only had one daughter. If Sally was Bennett’s daughter, Elijah would be the Tate family’s son-in-law. Everything the Tate family owned would belong to Elijah and Sally in the future. The

    Freya raised her head and stared at the woman in confusion. She resembled Zoey Williams, but not completely. They looked the same.The difference was in their eyes, temperament, and gaze. The Zoey Williams she had used to control had never seemed this confident in herself. “Zoey.” Bennett massaged his temples and pointed toward Cynthia. “Kill her.” “Alright.” Zoey bowed respectfully and walked over to Cynthia elegantly before grabbing her by the collar and punching her. “Let me go!” “You can’t hit me like that!” “My uncle…” “Not even your uncle can save you.” Zoey smiled slightly. “You signed your death penalty when you bullied our Young Lady.” For all those years, not only had Freya trained Zoey in being an emotionally sensitive person who was skilled in seducing men, but also in combat. Her skills were no match for Ol’ Joe and Blair, but she was one of the best female fighters. Cynthia’s screams echoed through the corridor. Bennett seemed to be unfaze

    Cynthia had nearly been beaten to a pulp by the time Freya finished signing the agreement. She fell to the ground in pain and begged for mercy, “Please, don’t kill me…” “My uncle…” “Shut up about your uncle!” Freya could not stand it anymore. She took a deep breath, grabbed Cynthia by the collar, and slapped her twice. “All they have to do is move a fingertip to bring your uncle to his knees!” “No one can save you if you offend the Tate family!” “Get lost!” Cynthia was startled. She knew that Freya was giving her a chance to live, and thus did not dare say more before she scuttled off with her bruises. “Zoey, let’s go.” Bennett yawned. “We should be over at the Moses family house.” “You know what he’s like. He’ll probably tear down their house if I’m not there to stop him.” Zoey nodded and dusted herself off before she trailed after Bennett. Freya stood rooted to the spot and could not help calling after her. “Zoey.” Zoey furrowed her brows slightly before t

    “I don’t care. I’m going to torture your grandson!” “Jordan Tate, it’s been so many years, and you still have no sense of shame! They’re a perfectly fine couple, but you just had to be the old demon against them being together!” “How dare you call me an old demon!” “The only person who’s against them being together is the little demon in your family!” ............Sally slowly cracked her eyelids open. What was going on… “Madam, you’re awake?” Pierre hurriedly passed her a glass of water when he noticed that she had woken. “Does it still hurt?” Sally backed away instinctively when she saw Pierre’s face. She frowned. “Where’s Elijah?” Pierre was stunned for a moment before he understood that Sally thought he was doing the same thing as Ol’ Joe.” Thus, he sighed and handed the glass of water to Sally. “Madam, hear me out.” “Both Ol’ Joe and I had been hand-picked by the Young Miss to serve Sir.” “When she vanished without a word, we only had Sir to answer to.”

    “Sal, you’re awake!?” Old Master Tate rushed over in surprise and took hold of Sally’s hand as he said, “My precious granddaughter!” “Has the Moses family been tormenting you!?” Sally was only startled for a split second before realizing that Old Master Tate was putting on an act before the Moses family. He had so kindly claimed that she was part of the Tate family, and there was no reason for her to expose him. Thus, she smiled and took his hand in hers. “No, no. Grandpa Moses is very kind to me. He has never tormented me.”Old Master Tate frowned as he sank into deep thought. “You said that Mr. Moses Sr has not been tormenting you.” “So, that means the other members of the Moses family have been tormenting you, is that right?” Sally hurriedly shook her head. “No, no!” “Everyone here is very kind to me.” “B*llshit!” Old Master Tate snorted. “Don’t think I don’t know anything!” “You’ve suffered at the Moses household. I will have the entire Moses family apologize

    ————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
