Sally stared at her phone. She had no idea how she should reply to him.

Sighing, she shut her phone off, deciding to just ignore him completely.

However, she felt somewhat uncomfortable doing so.

Was it a good idea… standing up an old classmate like that?

As she thought of that, she raised her head and gazed at the man, who was focused on driving.

Dark circles were present on his chiseled face, and you could also see that his eyes were somewhat bloodshot.

He had been extremely tired for the past few days.

One of the reasons Elijah had been so tired was because of her old classmate, Quirinus Banks.

Sally shut her eyes. She had decided between Quirinus and Elijah.

After all, one of them was Quirinus, and he was no longer the person he used to be.

The other person was Elijah, who spent his days and nights with her, protecting her with all his might.

Any average person would be able to tell the difference between the importance they held to her.

    Little Sarah huffed, “Sam measured the width for me. My plump body won’t fall out from the gap!” Then, Little Sarah realized what was wrong. “Sam said I’m fat!” “Hmph!” Sally doubled over with laughter as she listened to her daughter’s indignant voice. “Little Sarah, you have the longest reflex arc I’ve ever seen!” Little Sarah blinked as she gazed confusedly at Sally, “Mommy, what is a reflex arc?” “She’s calling you stupid!” Sam, who was standing behind her, added on. Little Sarah’s eyes widened. A second later, she began sobbing, “Sam called Little Sarah fat, and mommy called Little Sarah stupid… boohoo… the people most important to Little Sarah are all looking down on her, which makes Little Sarah so, so sad…” Elijah’s heart melted when he heard his daughter crying. Sighing, he hurried into the house and up the stairs so he could hoist his crying daughter into his arms. “Don’t you have your daddy too, Little Sarah?” Little Sarah sobbed as she gazed at Elijah’s f

    Past ten at night. Sally spent a long time before she finally managed to get both the kids to sleep. “Little Sarah likes Daddy, Mommy, and Sam. Little Sarah likes everyone…” Sally could still hear her daughter talking in her sleep as she quietly shut the door. The woman shook her head helplessly. It was all Elijah’s fault! He was the one who had asked the child who they liked more and look what had happened as a result! “Mommy.” Sally was just about to close the door and leave when Sam’s voice rang out from the room. She frowned and looked instinctively toward where Sam was sleeping. The little guy was sprawled across his bed and gazing quietly at Sally. His eyes glimmered as they reflected the light from the corridor that shone through the gap in the door. The little guy gazed seriously at Sally. “Mommy, how was your first day of work? Are you tired?”Sally’s heart twinged Her little man had remembered to ask her such a thoughtful question. The woman let o

    Elijah frowned slightly as he turned the lights on again. “Why?” Elijah felt somewhat perplexed at her attitude now. Sally’s face turned as red as boiled shrimp under the yellow light. “No means no…” “Elijah, let’s wait… for a couple of days.” Elijah was still frowning. “Why?” Sally rolled her eyes at him. What other reason could there be? Was the man an idiot? How could he still not understand when she was refusing him so pointedly? Sighing, she gazed into his eyes and said, “I’m on my period.” “Impossible.” Elijah gazed into her eyes. “I might have been really busy lately and not had the time to record your cycle, but there’s no way you would be on your period now!” Sally pursed her lips. Indeed, she was not supposed to be on her period now. However… “There are lots of factors that can cause a woman’s period to arrive earlier.” Sally sighed. “I guess mine came earlier this month.” When she finished speaking, she felt a gush of warm liquid leave her body.

    Sally held her phone and shut her eyes as she thought long and hard about Evonne’s suggestion. She had to admit that Evonne was right. The best way to help Elijah was by meeting with Quirinus and convincing him to not make things difficult for Elijah. Although she knew… that her abilities were limited and that Quirinus would never let a golden opportunity slip through his fingers for an old classmate. However, she had to try. Even if she failed, she knew she would never regret begging Quirinus. Sighing, Sally had just located Quirinus’ number and opened her chat with him when the man’s footsteps could be heard outside the door. A second later, the sweaty man handed Sally a black plastic bag. Sally was stunned when she saw the bag had been stuffed to the brim. “Why… are there so many?” “I didn’t know which brand you liked, and I also didn’t know which kind you liked.” The man let out a breath and turned his head to the side as he said somewhat awkwardly, “So I boug

    ——————Time flew by in the blink of an eye. It was already Sally’s fourth day working at Elijah’s office. In those four days, she had compiled the information on 50 shareholders who owned large amounts of shares in Moses Corporation. After eliminating those who were not in the country, ill, and unaccounted for, there were still around 20 shareholders left. Sally had made meticulous calculations. If Elijah bought back all the shares that these 20 shareholders owned, he would be the largest shareholder in Moses Corporation. In other words, if Elijah could convince these 20 shareholders to give up their shares, Quirinus Banks and his family would only be mere shareholders in Moses Corporation. He would not have the right to act as president, nor would he have any way of changing how Moses Corporation operated. However… the difficulty of persuading 20 people… “Probably as difficult as your senior year exams back then.” That was what Seth said. Annie rolled her eyes at him.

    Sally drove herself over to Summers Village. She did not get Ol’ Joe to drive her, nor did she hail a cab. After all, A City was not that far away from Summers Village, and many cab drivers were too lazy to make the trip. On the way there, the woman thought continuously about how she should steer the topic of the conversation toward the grudge between Moses Corporation and Banks Corporation after she met up with Quirinus. Thus, she never noticed that a black BMW had been following her ever since she left the building that housed Moses Corporation. Half an hour later, Sally’s car pulled to a stop at an old fried chicken place in Summers Village. It had been a long time since she had returned to Summers Village. Everything seemed simultaneously old and new to her at the same time. The warmth here was familiar. It smelled like home. The strangeness here were the faces. They were all new ones. It had been so many years. The people she had known back when she was a student w

    Sally widened her eyes in shock. “You…?”“Uh-huh.”Quirinus raised his head to glance at her. “Relax. I paid them enough. Ultimately, she was willing.”Sally gripped the fork in her hand tightly as her hand froze over violently.She was a doctor. She could see that when that woman from earlier walked, she was enduring pain.The smile on her face was contorted.She was already in that condition, yet Quirinus still got her to be their waitress again just for an absurd reason which was to relive the exact scene and taste the same food as back then?“For money, she has to endure even if she’s in pain.”Quirinus ate a drumstick as he stated matter-of-factly, “Many people in this world are like this. They would say they don’t want or can’t do something, but as long as you offer them enough benefits, they’ll be willing in the end.”After saying this, he lifted his eyes to glance at Sally mildly. “Isn’t that right, Sally?”Seeing Quirinus’ smile, Sally’s heart turned cold.She could

    Quirinus’ narrow eyes gazed steadily at Sally. “It’s because you’ve had a change of heart. You’ve started liking other things and don’t like the stuff you used to in the past, right?”Sally was speechless, “…”Why did he make her sound like a cheater?She released a deep breath and raised her eyes to look at Quirinus. “I came to this banquet because you were my classmate back then.“What I care about isn’t the scene and taste from back then; what I care about is whether you’re still the same Quirinus Banks.”Having said this, she looked coldly at Quirinus. “I was wrong. I shouldn’t have come today!”The chubby little Quirinus Banks from back then had always liked to make her smile. He would stick by her side as he told her stories and drew comics.Her impression of Quirinus had always been that he was cheerful and positive.Only now did she know that the current Quirinus was a completely different person from the one back then!His cruel and evil ways were written all over his

    ————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
