"You just had to go there.”Tina looked at Wilson helplessly, and then at Zeph. "You two are too impatient."Isn’t it obvious? If Sally shared such a good relationship with Zane, why would Elijah dislike him?"Couldn’t you guys at least pretend to care for him before diving right into money? Now look at what you’ve done.”After speaking, Tina took a deep breath. "I'll chase after them and see what I can do.”After saying that, she did not wait for Wilson's reaction before she ran toward the door to hurry after their two guests.————"I'm so angry right now!"As soon as they walked out of Larson Villa, Sally clenched both her fists and grinded her teeth furiously.She knew that Zane and Jill had a bad relationship with their family, but she did not expect their relationship with the family to be so distant and indifferent!"All right."Elijah hugged her and comforted her softly. "Since we’re not going to eat with them, let’s just eat outside by ourselves.""What do you want
Sally frowned. That voice sounded familiar to her. Turning instinctively to the origin of the sound, she quickly spotted Tina Castillo, who was smiling as she stood near them. Just like before, Tina’s eyes were glued to Elijah. “Even so, I won’t trouble you, Mrs. Larson.” Elijah gave Tina a cold, polite smile before he turned to leave, pulling Sally along with him. “Elijah!” Tina panicked when she saw that Elijah was going to leave. She hurriedly strode over and said, “I have something to say to you.” Elijah frowned. “Mrs. Larson, I don’t think I have anything to say to you. Please have some self-respect.” He had been aware that the woman had been giving him odd looks since the start. However, he had not said anything outright to protect her dignity. Now that she had taken the initiative to speak to him first, Elijah was going to swiftly reject her. After he said this, he held Sally close to him as he turned to get into the car. “Please don’t misunderstand.”
“Firstly, my father is not that sort of person.“Secondly, my father has always shared a wonderful relationship with my mother.“Thirdly, my father has been dead for many years. Please do not slander a deceased person in this way if you have no proof. Otherwise, karma will find its way to you.” When the man finished speaking, he got up and turned to leave. “I… I have proof!” Tina was panicking now, and she grabbed hold of Elijah’s arm as she took a cufflink out from her coat pocket. “Look, doesn’t this belong to the Moses family?” Elijah frowned and turned to look at the object. His eyes widened the minute he saw it. Mrs. Larson was not lying. The cufflink she held did belong to the Moses family. Whenever the Moses family attended any special events or meetings, they would wear these cufflinks along with their tailored suits. The word “Moses” was engraved onto the cufflink. He raised a hand and took the cufflink. “This…” “It belongs to the Moses family, doesn’t
Sally’s eyes widened. “Really!?” She put down her phone in excitement and stared at Elijah with her large eyes. “What’s going on?” Elijah took a deep breath and held Sally’s hand as he repeated everything Tina had just told him word-for-word. Sally frowned. “So, how did you know that person was an imposter and not your father?” “Because of how he walked.” Elijah smirked slightly. “When Mrs. Larson gazed at my back, she said I was just like my, father who strutted everywhere.“However, the truth is… my father injured his left leg when I was about ten years old. He always had a limp when he walked. “He would always walk very slowly to hide this flaw of his.“However, even if he were a slow walker, any observant person would be able to notice his limp.“There was no way he could strut.” Sally’s eyes widened in shock. It was the first time she had heard Elijah mention this detail about his father. However… Her mother had recounted that humiliating night before she h
Ol’ Joe was an extremely fast driver. They soon arrived at Z City Central Hospital. The car had only just pulled to a stop when Sally grabbed Magnolia and rushed in with her. Jill had prepared a room for Zane on the top floor. Although Jill might be an obnoxious person, one had to admit she was the member of the Larson family who loved and cared for Zane the most. However, the person who cared for Zane the most would become Magnolia after she married into the Larson family. When Sally dragged Magnolia to the top floor, Jill was standing in the corridor and talking to Zane’s attending physician. As they talked, Jill would raise her hands to her eyes to wipe away her tears. Sally could see Jill’s bloodshot eyes even from where she was standing. Her anger toward Jill for chasing Magnolia away disappeared immediately. No matter what, Jill was much better than members of the Larson family, who only had their eyes set on money. “What are you doing here?” Before Sally
She turned and shot Sally a provocative look. “You just need to prove that my brother was the one speaking in that recording and that it wasn’t edited or faked.” Sally, “...” Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to suppress her anger as she raised her head to glare at Jill. “You’re making things difficult on purpose.” “You’re causing a fuss on purpose.” Jill turned around. Her face, which was usually made-up flawlessly, looked haggard and sad. She looked at Sally and forced a couple of words out her mouth. “The Larson family will take care of internal matters ourselves.“We don’t need an outsider to come butting in.“I can take care of my brother if he’s unconscious. I don’t need you to worry about him, nor do I need a fiancée to bring happiness to him.“I hope to never hear such ridiculous phrases in the future.” Then, she turned to sweep her cold gaze across Magnolia’s face. “I told you I’d never allow you to meet my brother again. After I say something, you can be
Startled, Jill turned to whisper something to the doctor. The doctor nodded and entered the ward himself. “Come with me.” The woman coughed lightly as she led Sally, Elijah, and Magnolia into a ward beside Zane’s ward. It was not a large ward, but it was very clean. One could tell a neat girl lived in it. Jill sat on the bed and raised her eyes to glance at Elijah and Sally. “You might not have guessed it, but this has been my room for the past few days.” “I’ll continue staying here in the future so that I can take care of my brother.” The expression on the girl’s face darkened when Zane was mentioned. “I never knew how unfavorable my situation was when I had my brother around.” “But now, I finally understand.” When she finished speaking, she raised her head to smile helplessly. She stared calmly in Sally’s direction, but her gaze seemed to travel right through Sally and land someplace further away. “When Aunt Nat passed away, she left the position as head of the Lars
She felt… Magnolia could find someone better. Which was why she insisted on chasing Magnolia away. However, she had stubbornly returned and even brought Sally and Elijah to help her. Perhaps her love for Zane ran much deeper than she had thought so. As she thought of that, Zane turned and glared exasperatedly at Sally. It was all her fault! If it weren’t for her, her brother would not be in the state he was now, she would not have been kicked out of the Larson family, and Magnolia would not be so pitiful! Sally did not know why Jill was glaring at her. Frowning, she was just about to speak when Elijah spoke before her. The man’s voice was cold and deep. The cold aura emanating from him was enough to lower the temperature in the room by a few degrees. “Ms. Larson.” “You and I might be working together, but we must respect our partners too.” “I hope you will keep your opinions on my wife to yourself.” “This is the first warning. There will be no further exceptio
————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
