In the end, Bennett still dragged Queenie up the stairs with them. In Bennett’s words, Queenie had bad taste. What if she ended up buying an even more revealing outfit? It was better she went upstairs with them. After all, Natalie’s sister would be a middle-aged woman, and whatever she wore was sure to receive approval from the older generation. Of course, this was just Bennett’s way of making Queenie go upstairs. He had always thought of both Queenie and Sally as his daughters. If he was going to meet his wife’s sister, of course he had to take both daughters with him. Ever since Sally had returned five years ago, there had been some barriers between Queenie and the rest of the family. Bennett secretly hoped that by making Queenie and Sally spend more time together, his two daughters would grow closer. However, what he did not understand was some things had been determined way in advance. No matter how hard he tried, Queenie and Sally would never act like blood sisters

“Of course, there’s no need to claim to be a relative of mine if you really don’t want to. Everything would be easily solved if you stopped being Bennett’s adopted daughter, wouldn’t it?” Queenie frowned when she heard what Xandra had said. She laughed coldly and was just about to retaliate when Bennett frowned. “Queenie, talk politely to your aunt!” Frowning, Queenie was just about to object when she saw the stern look in Bennett’s eyes. He rarely looked at her this sternly. The look meant he was angry. Queenie rolled her eyes to herself inwardly. However, no matter how displeased she was, she still reluctantly addressed Xandra, “Hello aunt.” “Alright.” Xandra smiled as she turned to look at Sally. “Isn’t it easy to get along with your sister?”“Why did Elijah say she’s always made things difficult for you?” Sally opened her mouth, but was not quick enough to speak before Bennett frowned and said, “Queenie made things difficult for Sally?” “What’s going on?” “

Queenie managed to extricate herself completely from the situation with just a couple of sentences. On the surface, she seemed to be apologizing, but in reality, she was critiquing Sally for being petty and holding onto a grudge for something that had happened so long ago. She had even used phrases like “it’s contents might have sounded even worse”, and “I set out with good intentions, but I ended up causing so many more people to learn about you” to further pin the blame on Sally for not being ethical. However, there were plenty of people, like Bennett, who were so touched they sighed and said, “Queenie, that’s all in the past.” “Sal wouldn’t hold a grudge.” “Besides, you came from a place of kindness…” Elijah smiled as he pulled Sally into his arms. “Why wouldn’t she hold a grudge?” “With my temper, I would never forgive anyone who dared defame my wife.” “I did not seek revenge upon Ms. Tate because I took the fact that my wife’s father had adopted her into considerat

She looked at Elijah a little dully.She suddenly felt like she should not have attended this wedding.It was very clear that Elijah had come prepared.He was going to humiliate her on this occasion.No matter how many times Queenie attempted to change the topic, Elijah always found a reason to pull the topic back to her.Seeing that the situation had developed to this point, Bennett wrinkled his eyebrows slightly. He was just about to open his mouth and change the subject, but Xandra glared at him viciously. “It’s the children’s problem, so let them solve it themselves!”Thus, Bennett furrowed his eyebrows and closed his mouth.Back when he had been with Natalie, he had listened to everything she said.Even now, when Natalie was no longer here and he was faced with her biological sister, Bennett listened obediently.After a few rounds of bickering between Elijah and Queenie, the members of the Bailey family surrounding them also gradually became aware of the relationship and

The atmosphere in the room turned heavy.Everybody turned to stare at Queenie in shock.A few of Sally’s male cousins were stunned, their gazes unwavering.This…Although Z City’s weather was warm, the revealing clothes Queenie Tate wore to attend this formal event were indeed not quite appropriate for a wedding.Not to mention, everyone knew that today’s wedding was very special. After all, the groom was a man in a coma.Sally’s older sister wearing this kind of outfit was tasteless and inappropriate for today’s occasion.If not for the fact that she was Sally’s older sister, they would definitely think this woman had come to disrupt the occasion.The surrounding spectators started to discuss Queenie’s clothes endlessly.Queenie had been treated as the Tate family’s heiress ever since she was little—so when had she ever been subject to public criticism?The current Queenie wanted to find a hole to bury herself in!She had not expected Sally’s family to be just as vicious an

“I don’t think my son is crossing the line. If the Larson family’s friends are all this kind of trash, I wouldn’t agree to let my daughter get married to someone from the Larson family either.”“Old lady, you think I wanted to come?“If my friend wasn’t the one hosting this wedding, then I wouldn’t have had any interest in attending at all!”Queenie spat this out viciously, then turned to leave.Behind her, Elijah spoke up mildly. “Ms. Tate, you’re leaving just like that?“I thought you were attending this wedding to gather first-hand information to write a news report for XY.”As he said this, he sighed lightly. “Reporters nowadays sure are emotional. They let their feelings stop them getting a scoop.”Queenie’s hands balled viciously into fists by her sides.A moment later, she turned back to glare at Elijah, her teeth grinding. “I won’t write it. Even the editor-in-chief can’t make me do it; what could you possibly do?”“Me?”Elijah let go of Sally, then produced an acquis

Queenie’s hands clenched her fist. She raised her hatred-filled eyes. “Elijah Moses, don’t cross the line!”She had been a reporter for so long and had long fallen deeply in love with this career. If he used a lack of professionalism as a reason for her dismissal, how was she supposed to find a job in this field ever again?News from the media industry always travelled faster than in other industries. Moreover, XY Times had a large influence on the media industry.If she was dismissed today, by tomorrow morning, magazines all over the world would not want her anymore!“Am I crossing the line?”Elijah chuckled coldly. His icy eyes peered steadily at Queenie. “Previously, when you unfoundedly exposed my wife’s matters, didn’t you do something similar?“You clearly knew how her hand had gotten hurt, and you also knew she wouldn’t admit the true reason behind it, so you forced her to shoulder the label of being an unprofessional doctor.“Isn’t this a consequence of the game you play

He even said the Baileys were reasonable and that Elijah was not wrong?!Then was she the one in the wrong?Ha ha.Back when Sally had been found, Bennett had very sincerely sworn to her that he would not treat her and Sally differently.Now, she could see—this was his so-called fair treatment!“What’s the matter? Do you still have to consider it, Ms. Tate?”John chuckled coldly, then turned to look in the direction of the entrance. “Why is the Larson family so slow?”Magnolia, wearing a wedding dress and sitting to the side, had really been afraid that her older brother would take her with him and leave, so she frantically sought an excuse. “Maybe they’re busy…”Just as she said this, the entrance door was pushed open from the outside.Wearing pale yellow, Jill Larson entered furiously. “Everyone, what’s going on?”The day Zane had returned to Z City, she had been kicked out of the house. Zane’s wedding was single-handedly managed by her, so in this entire wedding, the one w

————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
