Sally sat on the couch in the Moses family house and stared at the two men before her. She could hear every word they were saying clearly. She could also understand every sentence they uttered. However, she could not comprehend. How had she become a member of the Tate family all of a sudden? How had her uncle suddenly become a kidnapper? How had she become the daughter of the heads of the Tate and Larson family? Did she have such impressive parents? Then why had people said that she would be a stupid country bumpkin for the rest of her life? “I know this is a lot to take in for you.” Old Master Tate smiled helplessly and placed all ten DNA test results in Sally’s arms. A thick stack of papers. “These are all results from tests run by well-known testing centers.” “Sal, I know you get good grades, and that you’re a med student at that. You should know what it means when you get consistent results in all your tests.” “If you can’t accept it emotionally, at leas
Grandfather let out a long breath and quietly opened his mouth. “When Natalie brought you away back then, it was because she was afraid you would suffer.“Of course, not by the hands of our Tate family.“It was because the Tate family had countless enemies back then.“Your father was a sharp businessman at the time. He provoked many people, and many of those enemies targeted you and your mother.“Although your mother resolved it easily each and every time, in the end, she still could not accept a life like this. Thus, she left, bringing you with her.“As for why I for arranged Queenie to replace you…“Firstly, it was to provide your father some comfort so that he wouldn’t go to the ends of the earth looking for you.“Secondly, it was to make everyone think that Queenie was you, to make everyone think that that child who was left behind was our family’s heiress.“In this way, we would also ensure those people who are eager to try things on you won’t go hunting for your true loca
Sally lifted her tear-filled eyes and stared at Grandfather Tate. “My mother… Do you know where she is?”Grandfather Tate nodded mildly. Helplessness flashed in his eyes. “The situation between your mom and dad is very complicated.“However, you must remember that your mother and father actually really like you and love you at heart.“In their world, aside from each other, there’s only you.”Sally pressed her lips together. She turned her head to glance at Bennett Tate hugging her. “Dad…”“Uh-huh.”Bennett sniffed. He released his daughter and raised his hands to wipe away his tears.He had lived for over forty years. Aside from when he was young and immature, this was the second time he had ever cried in his life.The first time was when Natalie had left him.The man took a deep breath. “Sally, about your mother’s matters… We need your cooperation.”Sally nodded. “Tell me.”She was just about to say something when Grandfather Tate furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He suddenly
She wore the white T-shirt and jeans that she had worn when she had met Sally for the first time. On her feet wear canvas shoes, whilst her hair was tied into a high ponytail on the back of her head.She looked like a refreshing, approachable person.Sally was so shocked that she only realized this woman was Queenie a moment later.It had… it had been barely a month’s time, yet she actually became like this.“The old man was pierced by a needle.”Something that Sally had hunted for, Jameson could spot at just a glance.He furrowed his brows. “Grandfather Tate, take this piece of clothing off.“Somebody has sabotaged this clothing.”Only then did Grandfather Tate purse his lips and nod. With Jameson and Bennett’s help, he took the robe off and changed into pajamas.As the two of them helped the old man change clothes, Sally and Queenie very wisely retreated outside the door.“Little sister.”Queenie folded her arms over her chest, staring at Sally haughtily.Currently, altho
“You guys can come in now.”Jameson pushed the door open, letting the two of them in.The moment the door opened, before Sally could even react, Queenie dashed straight up and clutched Grandfather Tate’s hand. “Grandfather!“How are you?“Let me see if you’re badly hurt!“Boohoohoo, my heart hurts. Grandpa, you’re already so old, yet you still have to suffer like this…”Sally stood at the entrance, staring in shock.—Was this still the Queenie Tate she knew?The Queenie she remembered did not like to act spoiled, nor was she someone who was so warm to Grandfather Tate…Nevertheless, she was warm and concerned now. Although it looked like she was feeling very deeply… her voice and cries both sounded a little fake…Jameson glanced at Sally awkwardly. “This is…”“This is the Tate family heiress.”Sally pressed her lips together and answered carefully.Bennett smiled and patted Sally’s shoulder in gratification. “I’ve checked. Queenie is older than you by two days, so she’s t
Sally was shielded behind Bennett. She looked at Queenie’s over-the-top acting and shook her head impatiently. “This issue hasn’t even been clarified yet. Must you be so eager to put the blame on me and say that I was the one who placed the needle in there?”She even directly put words in her mouth, saying that it was because she felt like she had been wronged all these years after being left out that she had acted out against Grandpa!“You definitely wouldn’t admit it now.”Queenie sniffed. She stood rooted in the same spot, pitifully wiping her tears. “Since you’re the trueborn heiress of the Tate family anyway, Grandfather and Dad lean towards] you and protect you. Even if I only hit you out of consideration for Grandfather’s safety, they would still think I was in the wrong.”When she was done speaking, Queenie immediately raised her hand.Smack——!It was another slap.However, this time, she had slapped her own face.This slap of hers was definitely not an act as this slap
Sally was stunned and looked up at the old man. "You could tell?”"Of course I could tell!”The old man rolled his eyes coldly. "Don’t you know who I am?""I am Jordan Tate, a thousand-year-old fox!""How dare this little goblin act out in front of me? I’d say that she’s still wet behind the ears!”As he said that, the old man lifted his hand and gently stroked Sally's face that had been slapped by Queenie. "Does it hurt?""No, it’s fine.”The girl shook her head and looked at the old man with a smile. "As long as Grandpa doesn’t misunderstand me, I’m fine!”"Oh, you."The old man shook his head helplessly. "Now, let’s think. Who had their hands on this piece of clothing?”Sally frowned and thought about it carefully.Although Aunt Leigh accompanied her to go shopping, she had left earlier on.Although Sonny's mother had a disagreement with her, Sonny's mother had been driven away before she saw the dress.After she returned from her shopping, she did not have time to doub
The old man looked at Sally and seemed to become lost in his own train of thought…The girl in front of him looked a lot like Natalie.Last time…Last time, Bennett loved to show off and made countless enemies for himself.The people who suffered a loss in their businesses because of the Tate Family in business ended up breaking into Natalie’s room when Bennett was not at home...That night, Old Master Tate was laying in bed because he was very ill and was unable to move, whilst all the servants in the house were paid to look the other way.He could not do anything except listen to Natalie's wailing and the cries of the child.He could not even get up to the other room to see what was happening.In the end, he fell from the bed and onto the ground.The communication device in his room was taken away and he could not save Natalie nor reach Bennett.They tortured Natalie all night.During that night, he thought about the countless possibilities.He was scared that Natalie wou
————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
