At that moment, Daniel was speechless as he listened to Tina.Finally, he turned his face away fiercely. "You’re wrong!"I just look a lot like my elder brother. You were with my elder brother in the past, but now, you suddenly became crazy and started pestering me for no reason!”Tina took a step back fiercely. "You weren’t like that just now…"I...""Shut up!"Wilson, whose wife’s affair had been exposed to everyone during his son's wedding, had an ugly expression on his face. He gave Tina a stern look and said, "Haven’t you embarrassed yourself enough?"Go home right now!"Tina pursed her lips and looked up. She made eye contact with Wilson. "Do you think I'm stupid?""If I go home with you, I’ll never step foot out of the house again!”After she said that, she strode toward Daniel. "I’ll go back with him!"He’s the only one I love!"If it weren't for him leaving last time without saying goodbye, and if it wasn't for me being pregnant at that time, I wouldn’t have agreed
“After all, both the Larson and Tate family are Sal’s extended family. It would be best for Sal if any conflicts were resolved.” Then, she turned and looked at Tina. “Mrs. Larson, have you finished thinking it through?” Tina pursed her lips as she silently pulled on the ends of her sleeves. In the end, she nodded silently. She could not think of any good idea besides obeying what this woman said. Her original plan was to meet the handsome young man she had met online, However, her former lover Benedict Moses had appeared instead. She was extremely excited, and so was Benedict. Her initial plan was to catch up with him after a round of lovemaking, but they had ended up getting caught in the act. She had never thought of what she should do. At this rate, there was no way she could go home with Wilson. Thus, all she could do was obey the woman and give everyone an explanation. Sighing, Tina began reminiscing how she and “Benedict” had met and fallen in love in a low voic
Startled, Daniel hurriedly hid behind Lucille as he said, “How… how would I know?“I don’t even know this woman!“Nor… nor did I eat and drink for free using Benedict’s name!” Elijah smiled as he took out several pictures of Benedict and handed them to Tina. “Mrs. Larson, can you please confirm again whether the man who had laid with you back then is the one in the photos, or whether he is the one standing in front of you?” Tina took the photos from him. She hurriedly shook her head when she saw the second photo. “I don’t know this person…” Then, she raised a finger and pointed to Daniel. “He was the one who was with me.” “But that’s not Benedict Moses.” Elijah smiled. “That’s my second uncle, Daniel Moses.” “If that’s not him…” Tina took a step backward. Then. she sighed and said, “Then your second uncle has been impersonating your father!” The woman gritted her teeth as she glared at Benedict. “I would never mistake the man I’ve been thinking of for all these year
This time, it was not just Bennett, Elijah also came forth to punch him in the face. “Uncle Daniel, my father loved you so much that he took care of all the messes that you caused. And yet… “You stole his name, his identity, so you could have an affair and partake in such vile acts!“You even cost him his life!” Anger burned in the man’s eyes as he pointed angrily at Daniel. Elijah had more or less guessed that it was his second uncle who had been impersonating as his father and getting up to no good back when Tina had talked about her relationship with “Benedict Moses”.However, he could not stop his rage from flaring when he heard the admission first-hand! His parents had lost their lives all because Daniel did not know any better and had befriended vile people all in the pursuit of hedonistic pleasure.Furthermore, his parents were not the only victims! There was his sister too. She would not have ended up the way she was now if it were not for that fire all those years
Sally smiled slightly. Turning to look at Lucille, she began prying off Lucille’s fingers, which had fastened themselves to the corner of her shirt. “Aunt Lucille, do you really care if Uncle Daniel lives or dies?” Lucille stared at Sally in shock. She did not understand what Sally had meant by that. In Lucille’s eyes, Sally was still the girl who did not know how to say no to anyone, and was so kind that she could forgive anyone for anything. However, what she did not know was that Sally had gone through a complete change over the past five years. Now, she was much calmer and collected, and was much better at identifying the pros and cons of a situation. The corners of Sally’s lips curled slightly upwards as she turned and gazed at the flabbergasted expression on Lucille’s face. “Aunt Lucille, haven’t you realized that you can find yourself a new man if Elijah beats him to death?“He had affairs with so many women behind your back, and was even planning to get back together
His face was pale, and his voice sounded weak as he said, “Don’t commit a murder at my wedding.“Maggie’s not the bravest person. I don’t want this experience to traumatise her.” The man’s weak voice seemed to carry some power. Elijah first seemed startled before he slowly recovered from his anger. In front of him was Zane, who was sitting in a wheelchair. The man had just woken up, and his face was still extremely pale. Behind him was Magnolia, who was wearing a white wedding gown. Magnolia’s face was still streaked with tears. Everyone present was so shocked that they could not say a word. A second later, Sally was the first to snap back to her senses. She yelled in surprise and excitement, “Zane Larson! You’re awake!?” Sally’s excitement caused her to instinctively begin running toward Zane. However, she had just taken a step forward when someone bumped into her. The person who had bumped into her was none other than Jill, who had been standing near her. A
As Daniel and Zane were sent to the hospital, the wedding ended with the happy news that the groom had awakened. Magnolia, who had changed back into casual clothing, sat on the bench outside the ward and clung onto Sally’s arm. “Sis Sally, I’m so nervous.” The girl’s face was ashen, and her large black eyes were filled with nervousness and terror. “You didn’t seem like that when you insisted on marrying my brother.” Jill, who was sitting opposite them, crossed her arms across her chest and gazed helplessly at Magnolia. “Why did you become such a wimp after my brother woke up?” Magnolia pursed her lips before she said carefully, “I…” “I thought it would be a long time before he woke up, and I could take care of him then.” “But now that he’s awake… Will he blame me for wanting to marry him so quickly…” The girl’s eyes turned red as she spoke. “After all, Zane only proposed to me on impulse. Sis Sally still meant a lot to him then.” “What if he regrets it…” The girl sn
“I would like to be friends with you too if it’s possible.” Jill pursed her lips as she rolled her eyes at Sally. “I just called you an idiot, and you just further proved it.” “You can’t ignore the fact that I’ve been friends with Queenie for more than ten years. All I had to do was say several nice things for you to think of me as a friend?” “Aren’t you worried that I might be a spy for Queenie?” “I don’t think your personality would make you a good fit for being a spy.” Sally smiled at her as she said, “You can’t even pretend to be angry. It’s so obvious that you’re about to burst into laughter any time soon. You have zero potential in being a spy.” Jill, “...” “Do I?” “Yes.” Sally gazed seriously at her. “Yes, your eyes tell me you’re going to start laughing at the next second.” “Hahahaha…” Finally, Jill let loose and laughed heartily. “Alright, I’ll stop teasing you.” “Thank you to you and your husband for helping the Larson family solve such a huge proble
————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
