Sally laughed so hard that she had to lie down on the table for support. "Evonne, that’s really funny. Although that would be cool, it's not possible."

Joan Lewis's family business was an established enterprise that appeared on TV often. How could an argument between her and Joan lead to such turmoil?

Evonne also knew that it was impossible, but she still pursed her lips and said, "A girl can dream. It may come true someday."

Sally smiled; She took out her thick stack of notes from her school bag and began her revision. “I don’t have such lofty dreams now. I just want to get good results in the midterm exams for Advanced Mathematics today.”

"F*ck!"

Evonne put down the coffee cup that she was holding.

She has forgotten that there was a midterm exam today!

"Sal, let me see your notes, I want to make a cheat sheet."

Sally rolled her eyes and pressed down onto her hands that were about to move over to her side of the table. "No!"

After she said that, she took out her textbook and

    How did she go from being a normal student to the CEO of Summers Corporation?!Behind her, the invigilator still kept a close eye on her.Sally glanced at Dave Jackman and the men in black behind him, then said, "You said that I’m CEO Summers, right?""That is correct.""Would you comply with my commands?""Yes."Sally rubbed her aching eyebrows and said, "Let’s get out of here."The men in black regrouped and followed Sally and Dave.Everyone on campus stared at Sally, who was leading the large group of men.She really looked like a CEO who was on a company visit.Sally soon led the men to the garden behind the school.After she made sure that there was no one else around, she breathed a long sigh of relief. Then, she found a stone and sat down on it. The row of tall men in black in front of her screened her from the sun.Sally turned her head and glanced at Dave. “Can you get them to squat down?""Of course!"Dave gave an order and the group of well-trained retired sp

    Elijah laughed out loud and said, "Isn't being a CEO a good thing? It’s a long-standing goal of many."Sally glanced at the black men that resembled bodyguards in the distance, and then at Dave Jackman, who stood not far away and was smiling at her at a 45-degree angle. "Nothing about it is great!"He felt a little playful. While he was on the phone with Sally, he looked through the file sent to him by Calvin Lewis on the computer. "What's wrong with being a CEO? You can do and buy whatever you want."Sally was about to break into tears. "It doesn’t belong to me… I didn’t work for it!"She was just an innocent girl from the countryside, she could not bear the noble status of being a CEO!Sally sniffled and said, "Hubby, I feel like I was suddenly hit on the head by a five-million-dollar anvil. I don't dare to move nor spend any of it. I’m a little scared..."Elijah chuckled and said, "The Lewis Enterprise is worth more than five million. The shares that Calvin Lewis transferred t

    Evonne was trying to catch her breath. While she was wiping her sweat, she glanced at the men in black and said, "I wouldn’t have been able to locate you if it weren't for your black-clothed army. How did you get here?"Sally said bitterly, "I didn’t want to be ostentatious."She took a deep breath and told Evonne the full story of how Calvin Lewis had transferred his shares to her."Oh my God!"Evonne was laughing hard. "I guessed correctly? Sal, what’s the deal with your handsome blind man? Last time, Joan scolded you a little, and her father personally drove the Lincoln Stretched Limo to pick you up. Yesterday, Joan fought with you, and her dad was so scared that he handed over his company?"Sally and Evonne walked in front, and Dave Jackman led the troop behind them.Along the way, the gaze from their classmates made Sally feel uncomfortable.She pursued her lips and held Evonne's hand. "I can't return the money and company to Joan's father for a month...""So, for this mon

    Sally tightened her grip on her phone.Who said that those from the countryside were limited in their knowledge and exposure?Although Sylvia Summers was merely a woman from the countryside, she knew to ask Sally for shares, instead of asking for cash.After she took a deep breath, Sally pursed her lips and said, "Aunt Slyvia, I have never been a mistress to anyone. The money and shares don’t belong to me, I am just holding onto it temporarily for someone. If you need money, you will have to earn it yourself!"After she said that, she immediately hung up the phone.However, Sylvia Summers' persisted with her phone calls.She was annoyed by it and turned off her phone.Sally, who had a long day, adjusted her mood and opened the door to the villa."Pierre, Aunt Leigh, I'm back!"Sally greeted the servants in the villa with her usual vigor.When she locked eyes with Pierre, Pierre smiled and winked at her. "CEO Summers, welcome home."Sally did not know how to react to that.

    "What do you want him to tell you?"When Sally was pestering the butler for the third minute, a man’s indifferent and low voice came from the entrance of the elevator on the first floor.Sally pursed her lips and moved her gaze from Pierre. She then smiled and turned her head to look at him, "Hubby!"There was a bright smile on Sally’s beautiful face, her cute dimples on full display.Glancing across the layer of black silk cloth, Elijah's gaze began to soften.He beckoned to her and said, "Come here."Sally ran over obediently, and while pushing his wheelchair to the dining area, she asked cautiously, "Hubby, have you figured out the structure of the company departments that I photographed for you this afternoon? They invited me for a meeting tomorrow morning, do you know how I should go about it?"Her serious expression fit right in with her personality, which was always diligent and studious.Elijah patiently answered her questions one by one, "If you are afraid of the meeti

    Sally was an eager and diligent student.Immediately after dinner, she was burning with impatience as she followed Elijah to the study.However, the staffing and functions of each department within Summers Corporation were overwhelming for a beginner like her.She laid her head on the table and soon fell asleep.Elijah sat beside her. He looked at her petite figure that was in deep sleep and the densely written notebooks in front of her that were comparable to her class notes.A faint smile appeared on the man's face.He reached his hand out and pinned the strand of hair that was blocking Sally’s face behind her ear.Her beautiful face became more alluring under the warm room light.Elijah looked at her and could not help but kiss her."Sir."As soon as his lips touched her face, Pierre’s voice could be heard outside the door. "Calvin Lewis is here."Elijah stood up, took out the pen in Sally's hand, and carried her in his arms, princess carry style. "Get him to go to the st

    When Pierre saw her, he immediately stopped talking.Elijah said, "Why are you up?"Sally pursed her lips and said, "I had a nightmare.""Pierre Graham."Elijah called out Pierre’s full name.Pierre quickly responded, "Yes, Sir?""Let’s continue tomorrow."He pushed his wheelchair and moved toward Sally. "I want to go to bed with my wife."Pierre was taken aback. ‘Public displays of affection from Sir?Sally blushed and her face burned with embarrassment.After she awkwardly said "good night" to Pierre, she quickly pushed Elijah's wheelchair back to the bedroom.After she helped Elijah get ready for bed, Sally laid in Elijah's arms. She tossed and turned but was still unable to fall asleep.Her dream scared her quite a bit."Don't be afraid."Elijah saw through her inner thoughts. His giant hands clasped onto her slender waist tightly, leaving no gap between both of them.Sally felt the scorching temperature from Elijah's body, and Sally's heart was beating hard.His de

"If you dare say a word more about how my husband is ominous, I will fire you right here and now! Hurry up and apologize to my husband! Say that you are sorry for saying that he is ominous!"The girl's crisp voice had a tone of ferociousness, and her expression showed that she was furious.She looked like a little kitten that tried her best to scare someone.Dave Jackman seemed to have been struck by lightning and stood still.This...was the Sally that he met yesterday?Throughout the entire day yesterday, he brought Sally on a tour up and down the company building, and she did not even have any complaints.

    ————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
