Sally felt deeply apologetic as she pushed the research institute’s door open.

The minute she entered, she saw Annie, whose face was covered with the colorful cream that came with cream cakes.

“Dr. Summers!?”

Annie glanced at Sally in shock. “You… What are you doing here now?”

Then, as if she was worried someone else might see Sally, Annie hurriedly pulled Sally to the stairwell and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be on leave and not be around for a while?”

Sally was stunned. “I…”

She had already told the director she would be reporting back while the sun was still up yesterday.”

Annie and the rest of her colleagues had been discussing a welcoming party to celebrate a comeback in the group chat yesterday.

Why did Annie not know she was supposed to return today?

“Dr. Summers, you should go enjoy your holiday if it hasn’t ended yet. What are you doing back at the research institute?”

Annie blinked her large eyes as she began trying to get Sally to go home. “There’s noth

    However, Sally could guess what had happened based on the conversation Annie and Alina had just had. Someone had probably published a paper using the article Queenie had gotten someone to steal from her. Sally took a deep breath and patted Annie’s arm, signaling for her to calm down. The next second, the woman smiled and looked at Alina. “I’ve got an idea of what’s going on.” “We’ll have to wait for a team of experts to determine if I plagiarised or not.” “I’ll be meeting the directors of the research institute and the hospital now.” Then, the woman turned to leave. However, Alina stuck an arm out and stopped her. “Sally Summers, you’re not going to escape this easily!” “The director already told us everything. He said he wasn’t very on board with having you join us, but the hospital director claimed that you were extremely talented, and you only got to work here based on his recommendation.” “But you didn’t even do anything after you started work besides writing that

    What was going on? “How could I have heard my most trusted director admit that I’m a plagiarizer if I hadn’t come in today?” She had a cold expression on her face as she finished speaking and walked towards the table. Some form of “evidence” was displayed on it. It was a copy of a document’s edit history, and it proved the document had been saved on the computer of a woman named Yvette Banks for three whole weeks. The other document had been provided by the director. It showed that Sally’s paper had only been written a week and a half ago. Sally’s lips curled upwards into a cold smile when she saw the two pieces of apparent evidence. The director dared provide evidence that said she had only submitted the paper to him a week and a half ago? She had submitted the paper to him three weeks ago! However, what had the director said? He had told her to dig deeper into the research and asked her to make amendments to the paper so it would be even more fleshed out. Sally ha

    Stunned, the director turned instinctively to gaze at the man in front of him. “Well… what should we do, Mr. Zimmer?” “Seems like we’ll have to wait for Ms. Yvette Banks to sort things out herself.” The man smiled calmly. “However, Ms. Yvette Banks is having lunch with the president of Moses Corporation, Elijah Moses, and can’t come over just yet.” Then, the man turned to look at Sally. “Ms. Summers, you can wait here if you don’t mind.” “After all, Mr. Moses is a very special man. It wouldn’t do for him to have waited for Ms. Yvette to no avail.” The color of the director’s face alternated between shades of red and white as he listened to what Mr. Zimmer said. Finally, the director glanced at Sally in disdain as he said, “You can wait here if you’re this eager to confront Ms. Yvette Banks!” “You should know better than I do what sort of person Mr. Moses is. Ms. Yvette won’t be fast in finishing her lunch with him.” “Yes.” Mr. Zimmer probably did not know what sort of

    Then, the man laughed and said, “We don’t even know each other. I can’t request her to accompany me in picking my wife up the first we meet, can I?” Sally pursed her lips. “She’ll be alright with it.” Then, the woman hung up the phone. After Sally put her phone away and looked upwards, she met Mr. Zimmer’s questioning gaze. When their gazes met, Mr. Zimmer smiled indulgently and said, “Ms. Summers, that phone call you just made has piqued my interest.” “I’m beginning to wonder who your husband is?” Sally smiled at him and said, “You won’t need to wait for long before you can take a look for yourself.” She could not be bothered to continue talking to the two of them after that. She leaned against the couch as she shut her eyes and pretended to fall asleep. Director Wade was stunned. If his guess was correct, Sally had just called Elijah. He could tell that the questions Sally had been asking Elijah were about his female client. So… Yvette was nothing more than a cl

    After getting hot tea chucked on her by the director, Annie shuddered and lost her balance. She began falling backward. Sally had quick reflexes and managed to grab hold of her. “Annie, are you alright?” Annie had been burnt so badly she could not even string together a sentence. It took her several tries before she finally managed to spit out two words. “It hurts!” Sally felt indescribable anger brewing in her when she saw how badly the plump girl had been burnt! Director Wade, who was standing behind her, continued framing Annie. “Sally, don’t fall for her tricks!” “Annie Skye had forced me to validate these pieces of evidence!” “No one knows better than I do that you did not plagiarize! It was all Annie Skye!” “She teamed up with Yvette Banks and bribed me with money. Then, they placed threats on my family members so they could force me to take part in their dirty work!” Annie gritted her teeth. Her face had turned pale from the pain, but she still stared aggrievedly

    When she finished speaking, Sally pulled Annie, whose face had been burnt bright red, along with her as she left. After Sally left, Mr. Zimmer leaned against the wall as he gazed at Director Wade. He seemed to think the latter was an idiot as he said, “Who on earth is this Sally Summers? Did you need to try and shift the blame onto another girl at the very last minute?” Director Wade rolled his eyes and looked at Mr. Zimmer as if he were an idiot. “Don’t you guys look into a person’s background before you begin framing them?” “I thought you had dealt with Elijah when you said Ms. Yvette was having lunch with him!” “You nearly killed me!” Director Wade sighed. He still shuddered when he thought about what had just happened. Like an idiot, he had assumed these people had caused Elijah and Sally to split up, which was why he had dared humiliate Sally the way he had just now. However, in reality… Mr. Zimmer and Director Wade had not finished their conversation when the door

    “Not often.” Elijah turned and smiled at Yvette. “Ms. Banks, you’ve never been in a relationship, and perhaps you don’t understand the inside jokes a couple shares.”The man gazed mockingly at Yvette. “Sometimes, a game of hide and seek is also how a couple spices up their lives.” “It’s not your fault if you don’t get it, Ms. Banks.” Then, the man turned around elegantly and said, “Well, I’ll be leaving now since my wife is not here.” As Yvonne watched the tall man walk off, she clenched her fists and hurried after him. “Mr. Moses, you said you were bringing me to meet your wife. Are you going to abandon me just because your wife stood you up?” Elijah paused in his steps and turned slightly to gaze at Yvette. “It’s my fault for not making arrangements for you, Ms. Banks.” The next second, he had retrieved his phone and called Pierre. “Arrange for a car to arrive at the research institute and send Ms. Banks to where she needs to be.” Yvette, “...” She bit down on her li

    “Nothing much. Good luck on getting Elijah Moses for yourself. I’ll try my best to have Sally Summers address you as her sister.” Yvette, “...” “Bro, are you serious? You’ve got your eye on that idiot Sally Summers?” “Yes.” “You must be crazy!” Yvette gripped her phone and nearly went crazy as she said, “Didn’t you see how dumb that woman was back when you were studying at Summers Village High School?” “I think she’s great. Don’t slander her.” “... You’re obsessed.” “Whatever you say. We’ll both benefit from each other’s missions if you’re nicer to her. Else, I’ll ignore you.” Yvette, “...” Although what Quirinus said did not sound particularly nice, she had to admit she was tempted. Her younger brother was calculating and manipulative. It would be much easier for her to take down Elijah if she had Quirinus on her side. As she thought of that, she sighed and said, “Alright! I’ll take Elijah, and you’ll take Sally Summers!” “Alright.” Yvette glanced through

    ————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
