“You messed up my plans.”

“But Boss!”

Joanne’s grip on her phone tightened as she explained frantically, “I was listening to the kindergarten teacher when she was making the call! She did not call Elijah Moses!”

“I have no idea how he managed to get here!”

Quirinus’ mission for Joanne was for him to appear “by chance” in front of Sally and help Sally take care of things by using his status as Joanne’s boss to force Joanne to apologize to Sally.

That way, Sally would owe Quirinus another favor.

Who would have expected… Elijah would arrive at the scene before Sally even did!

Quirinus laughed. “That was an oversight of my part.”

“I would have bugged my wife’s phone and tracked her every move if she became society’s scarlet letter so that I could protect her at all times.”

Quirinus stood by the window and gazed at Elijah, who was opening the car door for Sally. “He’s an interesting opponent.”

    Yvette was stunned at how domineering Sally was being. She frantically called Queenie as she read the comments Sally had left. “Queenie, what should I do now?” “I thought you said Sally was a coward?” Why did the person on the other end seem as if she had the power of a fleet of tanks on her side? Queenie was rolling amongst the bedsheets with Christian just then. When she heard what Yvette said, she scrolled through her phone quickly. A cold smile appeared on her face as she said, “She can post it if she wants to.” “I have a plan.” After Yvette hung up, she pursed her lips as she typed out a reply to Sally’s comment. “Sure, go ahead and post it if you want to.” Sally sat in the study at the Moses house and smiled bitterly when she saw Yvette’s reply. She had long since guessed that this was Queenie’s motive. However, she no longer cared anymore. This matter concerned her only. She could not allow the people around her to be distracted because they were worried

    The veins on Yvette’s forehead popped. “I would be eternally grateful if Elijah doesn’t think I’m an idiot after this!” “How on earth would I have a chance?” “Of course you would.” Queenie chuckled. “Sally is a very sentimental person.”“What do you think she’ll do if you hire keyboard warriors to berate her for killing her mom?” Yvette furrowed her brows in thought before she clapped her thigh and exclaimed, “That’s right!” Although Sally’s first operation had been done on her mom, she was also the one who had indirectly killed her mom! If it weren’t for the operation, her mom would have been able to live for another month or two! And what had happened? Nicole had been unable to make it after her surgery and died just half a month later. Who else was there to blame but Sally for indirectly killing her! “I understand now!” Yvette let out the breath she had been holding as she dialed another number. “Ol’ Wes, get in contact with our company’s keyboard army…” She

    The director frowned when he saw the confused look on Sally’s face. “Dr. Summers, don’t you… don’t you know?” Sally stared confusedly at the director as she shook her head sincerely. “I don’t know.” “This.” The director sighed as he opened up his laptop and swiftly found the video that had gone viral on the internet. There were two parts to the video. One half of it starred Bennett, and the other… starred Nicole, who had been dead for five years. “Sal is my daughter, and Nicole is my wife. I think I have the right to make a statement regarding this issue.” Bennett had stubble growing around his chin in the first half of the video, and he seemed to have become frailer and aged since the last time Sally had seen him. He smiled slightly as he gazed into the camera. “I don’t think Sally did anything wrong.” “If I were my wife, I would have made the same choice five years ago.” “To put things simply, I trust my daughter, and I’m willing to put my life into her hands.” “T

    Sally bit down on her lip as she whispered to herself: ‘Mom, I still want to be your daughter in my next life.’ ‘I won’t leave you or allow you to fall ill. I’ll accompany you…” —————— Sally’s eyes were red from crying when she left the research institute. After she got into the car, she took her phone and dialed Bennett’s number. “Dad.” She sniffled, unable to hide the fact she had just been crying as she said, “I’ve seen the videos.” “As long as you’re alright.” Bennett’s voice was filled with love for his daughter. “Why does your voice sound hoarse? Have you been crying?”“Did Elijah bully you?” “No.” Sally knew Bennett could not see her, but she still shook her head vigorously as she said, “I was touched when I saw… the videos of you and mom.” Bennett stayed silent for a long while before he chuckled and said, “Silly girl.” “This is what we as parents are supposed to do.” Sally shook her head. “Dad, your video was posted just in time…” She

    Sally felt somewhat uneasy after ending her phone call with Bennett. After a moment’s thought, she called Zoey and said, “Keep an eye on my dad for me.” “I don’t think he’s in the best headspace at the moment…” He wasn’t ill or in any trouble, but he had mentioned what would happen after his death multiple times during their call just now. As his daughter, Sally could not help but feel disturbed by that. “Alright.” Zoey, who was on the other end of the line, immediately agreed. “I’ll visit Uncle Bennett in a few days.” “But…” Zoey paused for a minute and did not say whatever she wanted to say. Sally frowned. “But what?” “Nothing.” Zoey heaved a deep sigh. “But I noticed that he’s made quite a few new friends lately and has been pretty happy.” “I don’t think he’s having any silly thoughts.” “But I’ll pay more attention to him if you think something’s not right, Sis Sally.” Sally hummed in agreement. Her racing heart slowed down when she heard Zoey mention he ha

    She carried herself with so much dignity and grace that she seemed completely unlike the silly girl back in Summers Village Junior High who did nothing but study all day.He was stunned but soon smiled and said, “Shall we have a meal together one day?” Sally nodded. “Sure.” She seemed to think of something after agreeing and tilted her head upwards to look at him. “Can I bring a family member?” Quirinus shuddered. “I don’t think it’s necessary to have your husband present for a catch-up session between us, do you?” Sally’s grip on her bag faltered. She had ulterior motives for saying that. Although she had not been working at Moses Corporation the past few days, she knew Seth had been looking for opportunities to connect Elijah to Quirinus. The crisis Moses Corporation was facing had a chance of being resolved if the two of them could sit and talk calmly to each other. Thus, she… wanted to help Elijah. However, it was obvious Quirinus was not going to work with he

    8:30 PM. “Mommy, why isn’t Daddy back home yet?” Little Sarah placed her hands on her stomach as she sprawled on the table and gazed at Sally. Her large eyes blinked as she said, “Little Sarah is so hungry!” “Can’t we eat yet?” Sam, who was sitting beside Sarah, could not bear to see his little sister so sad. He frowned and gazed at Sally, “Have you called him?” “It’s late, and we should be going to bed soon. Can’t we eat yet?” Sally pursed her lips and gazed at her two pitiful kids before she shook her head and said, “You guys go ahead and eat.” She sat at the table and watched her kids eat while Aunt Leigh took the rest of the food and heated them in the microwave. Her delicate fingers picked the phone up and dialed the number which she had already dialed countless times. The line was still busy. Sighing, she stood and said, “Aunt Leigh, please help Sam and Sarah bathe and get ready for bed once they’ve finished their meal.” Aunt Leigh immediately understood wha

    “Yes, alright!” “That’s more like it…” As Sally listened to the women talk, she narrowed her eyes and strode decisively over to the women. “Remember to get me a gift as well.” When the women realized that the person talking was a strange person not in their circle of friends, they immediately raised their heads to look at Sally. One of them, who did not know who Sally was, even pursed her lips and said, “Who are you? Do you have no shame, coming up and asking for a present before even introducing yourself?” “Am I the shameless one for asking for a present, or are you guys the shameless ones?” “Don’t you think it’s shameful to not only encourage a woman with impure motives to be a mistress but even ask her for presents?” Then, she yawned and said, “I think it’s right and proper for me to ask Ms. Alyssa for a gift.” “After all, it’s not too much to ask for a present when she’s taking my husband away from me, right?” The women immediately fell silent when they heard what

    ————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
