“Is that so?”

Elijah picked up the teapot and elegantly poured a cup of tea for Adrian. “I didn’t know that you and Quirinus’ relationship was like that, Mr. Banks.”

“Yes!”

As he said this, Adrian observed Elijah from the corners of his eyes. “I’ve said that I came to see you today with sincerity, Mr. Moses.”

The man smiled and got his secretary behind him to produce a folder with information.

“I don’t know if this will be able to change your mind and let Yvette out, Mr. Moses?”

Elijah furrowed his brows and accepted the folder.

He opened it.

Inside, there was information on a house.

This house was situated on an island near Nakaumi, Japan.

It was surrounded by the sea. It was a decent vacation villa.

The price was not cheap either.

Elijah raised his eyebrows. “What is the meaning of you giving this to me?”

“Don’t misunderstand, Mr. Moses.”

Adrian smiled mildly. “Of course, I wouldn’t use a house to bribe you.

“With your background, if you wanted a house like this, there

    Elijah shook his head. “You don’t understand.”About a month ago…It just so happened to be when Queenie helped Daniel Moses escape.She had frantically made Quirinus buy a house on an island most likely because she wanted to hide a certain someone.He had obtained Daniel’s hiding spot in exchange for Yvette not suffering in the detention center.This deal was considered a win-win for him and Adrian.Sally sat at one side, watching Elijah quietly.It turned out that… in front of others, this was what Elijah was like.Cold, calm, and indifferent…Earlier, when Elijah had been talking to that man, he exuded a masculine allure that made Sally’s heart beat like crazy.Although she did not understand what they were chatting about, the man’s air and cold attitude were enough to make Sally’s heart beat like crazy for him.Too… Too handsome…He was even more handsome than those male leads in soap operas and even more overbearing than those CEOs in novels!Elijah was now arranging

    “Soon, then.”Elijah sighed lightly.In the short term, even leaving the house would be an issue for Sally. How could she flashily go to the airport and fly to Europe?He did not want Sally to be worried, but he also did not want her to suffer or be criticized by others.Hence, he set a goal for himself. He was going to settle Quirinus’ matters in a week so that Sally could confidently step out and search for her memories in a peaceful environment.Alternatively, if she could not recover her memories, that was fine too.“How long is soon?”Sally blinked at him.“One week.”The man wrinkled his brows in thought and then smiled. “Perhaps not even a week.”After seeing Adrian today, he now knew that Quirinus was actually not hard to deal with.Although Quirinus currently held great power and could control Banks Corporation’s finances, one could tell that he did not get along with his father.Otherwise, Adrian would not have exchanged news of Quirinus for Yvette.…In a five-

    Adrian closed his eyes helplessly. “You’re so foolish that you believe in everything he tells you!“Quirinus is using you… He wants to involve the entire Banks family…“He’s made some pretty good plans.”Adrian huffed coldly. “But this old man won’t be dragged through the mud!”After saying this, he turned to glance at Yvette. “I’ve already shown Elijah where I stand today. However he wants to deal with Quirinus, the Banks family will not interfere!”Yvette’s lips were pressed together. She looked at Adrian with some confusion. “Dad… No matter what, Quirinus is still my little brother and your son…“If something really happens to him, you really won’t care?”“I will.”Adrian scoffed frostily. “I’ll go collect his corpse!“Our Banks family has always been so diligent. Having a son as unruly and underhanded as he is simply shameful!”Having said this, he gave Yvette an icy glare. “You’d better get yourself together and find a husband who can handle a business!”Yvette pursed h

    After hanging up the phone, Sally opened her mailbox.Sure enough, she had just received a new email.The email stated the time and address of the cultural performance that Director Laine told Sally about on the phone earlier. There were also many photos and videos of the children's past performances, even thank you cards written by the children themselves.Some of the thank you cards were written in childish handwriting. [Thank you, Mr. Elijah and Ms. Sally.]Others were drawn with cartoon images of the two of them.The children's drawings were very childish.Even so, Sally could clearly tell that they were of her and Elijah.One was taller and the other one was shorter. Both of them had smiles on their faces as they stood together.A surge of warmth rushed to Sally's heart.It turned out that her old self and Elijah had done things like visiting children in the welfare home, bringing warmth and food to them.After Sally took a deep breath, she silently clicked on the videos

    Elijah lifted his hand slightly and rubbed her head. "Actually, I'm reluctant to let you go."But if you really want to go, I'll accompany you.""Really?"Joy was instantly seen in the young girl's clear eyes."Mm-hmm. Of course.”There was a smile behind the man's low voice. "When have I ever lied to you?""True.”Sally smiled happily as she leaned over and planted a kiss on the man's face. "Hubby, I really think that you’ve never lied to me!"Elijah smiled and pinched her delicate face. "Good girl.""Hey, hey, hey!"After Elijah said that, a man's voice sounded from the computer. It seemed that he had reached his limits. "You two, stop being so lovey-dovey in front of me, alright?"I haven't even ended the video call! I'm still here!”The man's helpless growl came from the computer. "Can’t you have some sympathy for a single man?”Elijah raised his eyes faintly. "No."Sally was so shocked by the voice that she got out of Elijah's arms.When she looked over, she realize

    "Do you really want your memories back that badly?"After the video call with Jameson ended, Elijah scooped Sally up onto his lap and hugged her small body as he asked her.Sally nodded seriously. "Yeah."I really, really want to be just like a normal person."And..."The woman let out a deep breath. "Because I have no memories of my past, I actually... It's hard for me to accept the fact that I'm the mother of two children."Whenever I see Sam and Little Sarah being so intimate with me every day yet my heart doesn't hold any affection for them... I feel so ashamed and keep blaming myself for it."And... you."Sally lowered her head and did not dare to look into Elijah's eyes. "I know you're good to me."I've seen everything you've done for me the past few days and I know that you really, really like me."But I don't love you enough for you to love me that much."It makes me feel abominable."How can I accept so much kindness and love from the people around me when I’m unab

    "But all of these, they’re true."Sally nodded seriously. "Okay, go ahead. I’ll believe you."Her well-behaved demeanor was cute and calm.When Elijah saw how pure and clear the woman's eyes were, he suddenly felt reluctant to tell her what had happened in the past.Even so…The man let out a deep breath. "I know who the man who appeared in your head before is.”Sally was stunned. "You do?"Elijah nodded and hugged her with one hand while he used the mouse with his other hand. He clicked into a document. "It's him."Sally subconsciously looked up.When she looked at the man's picture on the computer screen, countless devastating fragments of memories popped up frantically in her mind!She grabbed Elijah's sleeve helplessly and her knuckles turned white from her strong grip.Although she could not clearly piece together the fragments of her memories, the suffocating sadness made her whole heart seize fiercely."Sally, if I can't have you, no one can."If I can't get you, I’

    "But I'm not a child. I'm Sally."The woman smiled sweetly and her clear eyes were looking at the group of rich ladies. "You guys have been talking about me for quite some time, yet you don’t even know what I look like?"I didn’t know you could be bad at gossiping.”The woman's words completely angered the few arrogant rich ladies.They turned back and glared at Sally viciously. "What did you say? You’re Sally?""Little girl, do you know who Sally is?"One of the rich ladies coldly walked over to her. Her eyes contemptuously sized up Sally. "Little girl, let me tell you something. That Sally woman is very capable."She pleases her husband while she sleeps with another man outside."The point is that even though her husband is such a prestigious man, he still let his wife cheat on him because someone was willing to give him a lot of money for his wife! What a coward!"How could a wh*re like her with no limits look like someone who is as timid as you?”When the woman finished s

    ————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
