Wendell must not have expected to be greeted by the sight of Sally and Elijah either. He frowned as he used his remaining eye to glare at Sally and Elijah. “What brings the two of you here?” Elijah frowned. “Bro.” “Don’t call me bro, I’m not worthy of that name!” Wendell huffed and pointed toward his eye. “You owe me for this!” Sally frowned. Her emotions had not completely calmed from the intense sadness she had felt earlier, which explained why she lost control of herself when she heard what Wendell had to say. The girl’s hands curled into fists. “Did you say that we owe you for your eye?” “Wendell Moses, we have never owed you a single thing!” “You were the one who promised us that we could have you end up blind like my husband if you ever tried to make a move on me again.” “It was your father, Daniel Moses, who chose to destroy your eyes when asked to choose between Moses Corporation and your eyes.” “Think about it. Did we force you to swear anything on your eye
“The person who orchestrated the car crash that killed Elijah’s parents was a Larson.” Wendell was still confused. “A Larson?” “Yes.” Daniel chuckled coldly. “It’s a small world after all.” “Even if Elijah can forgive Sally’s adoptive father for being an arsonist, do you think he’ll be able to forgive her mom for creating that elaborate plan to kill his parents?” Wendell’s eyes largened. “So, you’re saying that Uncle and Auntie…” Then, he frowned. “That’s not right. Dad, didn’t you say before…” “That… you were the one who planned their death?” “I didn’t plan sh*t. I was just the double agent.” Daniel smiled as he remembered what had happened that night. That night, he and five friends, all of them young and feisty, had broken into the Tate household… The woman in the Tate household was extraordinarily beautiful. Not only did she look gorgeous, but she had a melodious voice and great skin too.However, he had not imagined that she would grow to become so powerfu
After parting ways with Wendell, Elijah took Sally’s hand in his as they entered the Moses family house. Mr. Moses Sr and Freya were playing chess in the house. Compared to the past, where she would always have a mask on, Freya only had a thin layer of gauze on her face now. She seemed much more comfortable being subject to the public’s gaze now. “You overthink things too much.” Mr. Moses Sr sighed as he stared at the chess pieces laid out before him. “You should focus on living your own life if you’ve accepted what has happened.” “Don’t think too much about it.” Freya frowned slightly but did not respond. Elijah held on to Sally’s hand as he pushed the door open. “Grandfather, Sis.” Mr. Moses Sr smiled as he raised his head and said, “What’s going on? Are you here to invite me to your wedding?” Elijah nodded and placed two invitations on the table. “One is for you, Grandfather. The other one is for my sister.” “I only plan to have this one wedding with Sally. Thus,
Seth had said that Elijah was one of the few youngsters who could build such a large business in countries where he was situated thousands of miles away in A City. Many Europeans referred to him as a prodigy. However, this same prodigy was an idiot who needed the help of his wife’s family in his grandfather’s eyes. Sally pursed her lips and turned to gaze at Elijah. “Don't you feel aggrieved when your grandfather misunderstood you?” Elijah shook his head. “I’m more than willing to let the public think that I only managed to become successful because of your parent’s help.” Startled, Sally asked, “Why?” Elijah’s lips curled upwards into a smile as his dark eyes stared steadily into the distance. “That way, everyone will know that I can’t leave you.” “Everyone will know that you’re a precious treasure.” He took the chance to gaze affectionately at Sally as they pulled to a stop at the stoplight. “I want everyone to think that you’re so precious that not even I can lay a h
Two days later, Elijah and Sally’s lavish wedding was held in the grandest hotel in A City, Golden Age Hotel. Seth had even done an emergency renovation on The Golden Age for their wedding. On the day of the wedding, Sally woke up at four in the morning. As the makeup artist did her makeup, Evonne and Zoey giggled as laughed at each other’s figures and had the other person tighten the fastenings on the back of their dresses. Sally had been forced to sit still in front of the vanity and she did not dare fidget. Thus, she could only say stiffly, “You two are so noisy!” “This is the only time we can be this noisy!” Evonne turned to look at Sally. “We can be this noisy because you’re the one getting married.” “When I get married, I won’t be in the mood to bicker with her. You’ll enjoy your peace and quiet then!” Zoey frowned. “How do you know that the next marriage will be yours? Can’t I be the one who’s getting married?” “It’s going to be me for sure, no one will want to
However, it was the circle of life… The doctors could not do anything about it. She could not do anything about it either. The only thing she could do was take advantage of what time she had left and accompany her… The girls only spent a short while in the room alone before Elijah arrived with his best men. Evonne and Zoey had spent time researching pranks before the wedding. For example, by hiding the bride’s shoes. Evonne, being the sneaky one, had tied one of Sally’s shoes onto her leg. Her bridesmaid dress had a huge, puffy skirt. No one could tell that there was something tied onto her leg. However, their elaborate plans could not escape Elijah’s sharp eyes. The man gave Seth a look, and he immediately pressed Evonne onto the bed and lifted her leg to untie the shoe. However, he and Evonne did not expect that Zoey and Jameson would be taking pictures of them. In the picture, Seth could be seen pressing Evonne onto the bed. Zoey rocked back and forth in la
The atmosphere in the church was graceful. Dressed in a robe hemmed in gold, the priest stood in the center as he smiled and looked at the two people standing before him. “Do you, Elijah Moses, take Sally Summers as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?” “I do.” “Do you, Sally Summers, take Elijah Moses as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?” Sally pursed her lips as she tightened her grip on Elijah’s hands. “I do.” Thunderous applause rang out throughout the church. Nicole sat in a corner and smiled as she clapped. She had not paid any attention to the man sitting next to her. “Head of the Larson family.” Daniel gazed coolly at the couple saying their vows before the pries
“Please help yourself.” The fact that she was driving him away caused the expression on Daniel’s face to turn ugly. He let out a sigh. “Ms. Larson, I am merely giving a reminder out of the kindness of my heart. Why are you so repulsed against me?” “Elijah Moses is not as naive or honest as you think him to be.” With that, he pointed at Wendell, who was standing behind him. “Do you see my son’s eye? Elijah Moses was the one who blinded it!” “Oh.” Nicole nodded. “Why did he leave one intact?” Daniel, “???” The woman shifted in her seat and gazed peacefully at Sally and Elijah, who were exchanging rings. “Why is your son only blind in one eye?” “Shouldn’t he have at least taken both eyes? He could cook up a side dish to go with them.” Daniel, “...” The woman had a calm expression on her face and did not seem to be joking. However, every word she uttered was violent beyond belief. Daniel shuddered. He suddenly felt chilly. “Please leave if you have nothing els
————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
