The man's office was on the 24th floor.Elijah carried Sally and took the elevator to the 24th floor.On their way up, Sally felt as if her face was on fire.While she was lying in Elijah's arms, she could feel the burning gazes of the people around her watching them.When they reached the 24th floor and Elijah stepped out of the elevator with Sally in his arms, the woman breathed a long sigh of relief. ‘Finally, I’m free!’"Mr. Moses, I've sorted out the documents that you requested.”Elijah had just gotten off the elevator with Sally in his arms when he saw Alyssa standing at the door.At that moment, Alyssa was wearing her especially sexy tailored suit as usual. She stood there with her head lowered and her hands stretched forward, handing Elijah the two folders. "I got a call from the Human Resources Department this morning just as I came to work to return to my initial post."From her voice, it sounded as though she had been crying. "I’ve gotten all the information that yo
Alyssa's eyes froze, and the next second, she immediately stood up from the floor. "I... Madam President, I... I just wanted to apologize! That’s not my intention!""Apologizing to me requires you to kneel down?”Sally was still looking at her with a smile. "You’re treating me as if I’m the mistress of the household from the olden days."After she said that, she looked at Alyssa seriously. "I know that you’re very dissatisfied about being demoted to your initial post."Of course, that's understandable. No one would want to be demoted to their initial post after being promoted."But Alyssa, you should know not to covet what’s not yours."It's true that I didn't want you to continue working beside my husband, and as for the reason, it wasn't as simple as you offending me."Alyssa pursed her lips and looked up at Sally. There was hatred in her eyes. "If it’s not because I offended you, then what else could the reason be?”"Your attitude."Sally was still smiling. "Do you need me
"Madam President, I just want to ask if you have the skills to become the president’s assistant.”Since Alyssa had already been humiliated and knew that she was never going to be promoted in the company again, she decided to go all out!Either she suppressed Sally or she would resign!The other day, someone from Banks Corporation had even given her an offer!If Elijah did not respond with a good countermeasure, Moses Corporation might end up getting swallowed by Banks Corporation!By then, Alyssa might even become Sally and Elijah's superior!When Alyssa thought of that, she instantly looked up and straightened her back while glaring at Sally. "Madam President, don't blame me for speaking harshly."Maybe your skills in the medical field are great, but you might not be as good as me when it comes to being an assistant."You should know that when Mr. Moses chose me to come and work for him as his assistant previously, it was because he noticed my excellent memory and serious atti
It did not take long for the news of Sally and Alyssa competing to spread in the company.Many of the departments canceled their morning meetings and rushed to the 24th floor to see the fun.Since Elijah saw that it was still early, he did not stop them.After all, this was the best opportunity for his wife to show her ability and skills.If his wife redeemed herself, he would have redeemed himself too!To make sure the competition was fair, the person hosting it... was Seth.When Sally saw Seth walking through the door with a smirk, her head instantly exploded with a boom.‘The reason for asking Seth to come host it is to make it fair?’"Vice President Greene, you’re the fairest and most equitable person in this company!"Alyssa smiled and looked at Seth. "I believe that you’ll be completely fair in your judgment!"Sally, "..."When Sally looked at the surrounding employees adoring and praising Seth in various ways, she felt the veins on her forehead pop out.‘These people
The woman had a serious expression on her face, and her side profile seemed so naive and cute that even her competitors’ hearts would soften at the sight. No wonder Elijah was so in love with her. A split second later, Alyssa slapped her face. Now was not the time to be thinking about this! Letting out a deep breath, she picked up her pencil and began earnestly recalling the contents of the document Seth had read out earlier. Ten minutes later, when Alyssa finally figured out her thoughts and was about to begin writing...“Stop!” Seth’s cold voice abruptly interrupted Alyssa’s thoughts. She raised her head in shock. Sally, who was sitting near her, had already stopped writing. About five sheets of A4 paper were placed in front of her, and they had all been filled with her neat handwriting. Alyssa stared at the sheets of A4 paper in front of Sally in surprise. Had she written all that so quickly? Moreover, the number of pages she had written was exactly the same nu
The contempt was plain as day if she was asking her opponent to set the questions for her. Everyone in the office, including those who were watching the show from the sidelines, fell silent. Madam President was not a freeloader. Even taking everything else out of account, her excellent memory and how she had asked Alyssa to test her made her incomparable to all the other women in the company!Alyssa stood in front of Sally, her face looking even paler than the sheets of A4 paper in front of her. Sally was not a tall person. In fact, she was even slightly shorter than she was. However, at that very moment, she felt that Sally was so tall she could not even touch her! She let out a deep breath and bit down on her lip as she gazed at Sally, saying, “You win.” Sally’s reaction and attitude were unlike someone who had just cheated. If she still did not believe her and decided to test Sally herself, she would not get anything out of it except humiliation. Letting out a deep
Elijah shook his head helplessly. “She’s always thinking that I’ve done so much for her but she has no way of helping me. This is one of the better ways for her to help me.” “That’s right.” Seth sighed. “It’s much better than her overthinking things and going off to talk to Quirinus on her own.” Elijah’s eyes glinted coldly when Quirinus’ name was mentioned. “I hope that Sally never gets into contact with this person ever again.“Be careful.” Seth pursed his lips. “The only thing Quirinus hasn’t done yet is tell you straight to your face that he wants to take both your company and your woman away from you.” Elijah huffed coldly. “He’s an ambitious one, but he hasn’t taken a look at his abilities.” “I’ll admit defeat if he manages to take even one of these things away from me.” ... When Sally arrived at the Human Resource Department, the employees there had formed two lines on either side to welcome her. Sally did not know if she should laugh or cry when she saw the
It was already 11 in the morning when Sally returned to Elijah’s office from the Human Resources Department. She held the thick employee handbook the Human Resources Department had given her as she walked into his office. Elijah was sitting in his office chair working. When the man heard the door open, he smiled and raised his head to look at her. “The employees in the Human Resources Department were enthusiastic, right?” Sally pursed her lips as she placed the items in her arms onto the table that had been set up at the side of the office for her. “Super enthusiastic. They even asked me for my autograph. “After I finished giving autographs, they said that I’m someone they can offend because I’m even-tempered.“If I had known about this earlier, I wouldn’t have been too shy to reject their requests.” The result was not in her favor. She had been deemed an easy target for bullying.“They don’t have any ill intention.” Elijah smiled as he walked over and carried her to th
————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
