Sally was shocked. Jules had attempted suicide? She frowned and asked the person on the other end of the line, “Are you sure it’s Jules who attempted suicide and not Wren?” “It was Jules Blue.” The person at the detention center sounded somewhat offended. “Ms. Summers, we won’t make such mistakes. The younger one attempted suicide.” “Her sister is in another cell.” Sally pursed her lips. “I’ll be right there.” Although she did not like Jules, a life was still a life. Besides, Jules had cried so hysterically the last time she had visited her and played the clip where Wren talked about using Jules. It did not seem as if she would continue teaming up with Wren to plot against her. Thus, she turned to Elijah, who was driving and said, “Let’s make a trip to the hospital. Jules just attempted suicide.” Elijah frowned slightly as his voice took on a cold tinge. “Are you still going to involve yourself with the two sisters?” “I’m not getting myself involved. She wanted to s
“If not, she wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of asking me to get someone to steal that paper.” Then, she smiled bitterly as she looked at Sally and said, “I don’t have any other way of repaying you. The most I can do is let you know in advance so that you will be prepared.” Sally’s eyebrows knitted themselves together. She sighed and thanked her habitually. “Thank you.” “Why are you thanking me?” Jules sighed, her face still pale as she said, “I never understood why even though Wren was right beside Elijah, he would still reject all her advances and travel the world looking for you.” “I finally understand now…” “It’s because you’re kinder, nobler, and a much more likable person than Wren.” “If I wasn’t one of Wren’s pawns who hurt you, I think we would’ve been great friends too.” When she finished speaking, Jules closed her eyes. “I’ve said what I wanted to say. You can leave now.” Sally gazed at Jules’ face. She seemed to want to say something but ended up r
Without needing to guess, Sally was already sure Queenie was going to publish a report regarding her academic paper. Sally’s head hurt at the thought of that. For the past five years, she had avoided getting into conflicts with Queenie. Firstly, because she was too lazy to hold grudges against a person like her. Secondly, because she had people she cared about and a life of her own to live. She could not invest herself in the scramble for profit and fame like Queenie had. However, the more she avoided Queenie, the more daring Queenie became. Especially now. The woman shut her eyes and breathed out a long sigh. She would have to settle this score with Queenie sooner or later. However, the most important thing now was to deal with Zane and Magnolia’s wedding. Zane had gotten hurt and comatose because of her. The only thing she could and should do was take care of these matters for him. She was still deep in thought when the car pulled to a stop at The Golden Age.
Seth Greene laughed.He raised his eyes and looked at Evonne calmly. “It’s my stuff. Why should I give it to you?“It’s my body. If I want to punish it, I’ll punish it. Why do you care?”The man’s well-defined face expressed how ironic he found the situation. “Who do you think you are?”Evonne’s hands clenched violently by her sides.She lifted her eyes, a hint of rage filling them. “Who do I think I am?“You’re asking who I think I am?“If not for your grandfather repeatedly asking me to take care of you, if not for me signing an unfair contract with your Greene family in the past, do you think I’d be willing to care about you?“Nobody would care even if you died!”“Miss.”Annie finally could not remain silent and got up. “Aren’t you being too much of a wet blanket?“Seth’s body is fine. I’ve never heard any news about him going to the hospital!”In order to protect their dignity, Annie intentionally made it seem as though she and Seth were very close. “I know his body bes
After Sally said this, Annie could not hold on anymore.How could she have known that this female maniac who came to unleash her temper on Seth Greene was actually Sally’s friend?A new friend like her who had not known Sally for very long had absolutely no presence!She let out a deep breath, and just as she was about to say something, Seth—who had been watching coldly from the sidelines—laughed coolly. “Annie just didn’t know.“It’s not like I would reveal that I’m unwell in front of others either.“Furthermore.”He looked at Evonne coldly. “You’re already very aware of my health and physical condition, aren’t you?”The man’s eyes carried some ambiguity, almost as if issuing a challenge.Evonne’s hands balled tightly into fists by her sides.A moment later, she chuckled coldly and dragged a chair over to Seth’s side to sit down. “Alright then.“However much you drink, I’ll match.”After saying this, she looked frostily at Annie, who sat on the other side of Seth. “How many
“Trust that Seth will take good care of her.”Sally wrinkled her eyebrows. “I don’t trust him!”“Just now even you could only tell Evonne was feeling discomfort from her gesture. On the other hand, Seth could tell just from looking at her back. That’s the difference between you and him.“You still think he won’t take good care of her?”Sally pressed her lips together and could not think of how to retort.Seeing that Sally did not follow them, Annie hastily ran over and collapsed into Sally’s arms coquettishly. “Boo hoo hoo, what should I do? Seth already has someone he likes …“What should I do?”Sally was speechless. “…”How would she know what to do?Even so, as she looked at Annie sobbing in her arms, Sally actually felt a little grateful.She felt grateful that, at the end of the day, Seth was not the type who could abandon Evonne for someone he had just met.After this short interruption, the dinner continued in full swing.Elijah had not been wrong.This dinner truly
After the lively dinner ended, Sally was in such a good mood that she hummed merrily on the way back home.Elijah’s long fingers gripped the steering wheel, his gaze full of affection as he looked at her. “That happy?”“Uh-huh!”Sally turned to look at him, smiling broadly. “Actually, what I’m happiest about isn’t that I’ve become closer to my colleagues, it’s…”Halfway through her sentence, she abruptly returned to her senses. Seeing Elijah’s smiling eyes, she stopped before she could finish saying the last part.The man was calm. He held the steering wheel and looked ahead as he smiled slightly. “What are you happiest about?”Sally pressed her lips together. After hesitating for a moment, she finally finished her earlier sentence. “What I’m happiest about is finding out that you liked me from the start.”Though Sally personally viewed Elijah and her as an old married couple, saying this kind of thing in front of him still made her face burn up involuntarily.“You.”Elijah sm
After saying this, the little tyke lifted his gaze and looked at Sally a little reluctantly. “Mommy, Little Sarah and I are rarely separated from you. You must not make us wait too long!”Sally’s heart warmed a little.She had also previously thought of sending these two children to her father.After all, Zane had gotten hurt for her. She would inevitably be treated coldly after going to the Larson house this time around.She was not to worried about this as, at the end of the day, she had done something wrong.However, the two kids were innocent. If she brought them along, and they were treated coldly by the Larson family, she was afraid it would leave a dark imprint on the children’s hearts.However, she never thought Sam would be so sensible that he would suggest going to his grandfather’s place by himself.The woman took a deep breath and took a large step forward, pulling the two kids into her embrace. “When you go to Grandpa’s place, you must listen to Grandpa and Great-Gr
————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
