“Don’t worry.” As Quirinus spoke, he used his evil eyes to gaze at Igor. “You already have one foot in the coffin. What else can Elijah Moses do if he wants to seek revenge?” “He’s a man who directs his hatred clearly. If he’s mad at you, he won’t take it out on your son.” “So even if you’re killed by Elijah… your son will still live a well-off and prosperous life abroad.” “But if you don’t listen to me…” Quirinus narrowed his eyes, a threatening look in them. “If you don’t listen to me, your son will probably never see the sunrise again.” “So, Mr. Igor Coleman. Would you like to save your life, or… would you like to experience how a grieving parent feels?” Quirinus did not speak loudly, but his every word pierced Igor’s heart like a needle. He bit down on his lip and raised a hand to wipe the droplets of sweat on his forehead nonstop. After having a battle in his heart, he finally raised his head to look at Quirinus. “Mr. Banks… Can you promise to treat my son well?”
Yvette rolled her eyes. “You didn’t threaten people again, did you?” Quirinus raised his hand and vowed, “I swear to God I didn’t threaten him this time. I was giving his son benefits.” Yvette gazed suspiciously at him before she sat down on a chair beside him. “Dad and I are leaving tomorrow.” “Dad asked me to tell you not to ask for things you can’t get. No one will benefit from destroying that woman.” She let out a sigh as she recalled the look on Adrian’s face as he spoke to her. “Dad’s quite sad you aren’t accomplished.” “He said that whatever belongs to someone else belongs to them. Karma will hit you if you take it away by force.” “Really?” Quirinus’ lips curled upwards into an evil, callous smile. “I don’t believe this bullsh*t.” “Ever since I was a kid, mom taught me to fight for whatever I want…” “If you can’t fight for it, you snatch it.” “If you can’t even snatch it…” The man narrowed his eyes, the smile on his lips turning even creepier as he said, “I
“I don’t know whether you’re willing to explain to them.”As she said this, she passed a recording pen to Director Wade. “What happened last time was indeed because I was too domineering.“As an apology to you, I’ll give you this.”Director Wade was pleasantly surprised by her unexpected kindness. “This is…”“This is something that can help you please Sally and Elijah.”Yvette released a deep breath. She turned and left while mumbling, “This little brother of mine is too scary…”It was actually Adrian who had made her put this recording pen under Quirinus’ bed.It was also Adrian who got her to find this person who could get in touch with Sally and Elijah. He had told her to give him this recording pen.“This thing can save your life at crucial moments!”Yvette had originally found Adrian’s words and requests very distasteful.However, because she was curious, she still left the recording pen under Quirinus’ bed.She wanted to hear what Quirinus would say.Nevertheless, she
Not long after the call with Director Wade ended, the courier service delivered Director Wade’s item over.Sally opened the package. A recording pen was inside.The woman furrowed her eyebrows. Just as she was about to listen to it, Director Wade called again. “Mrs. Moses, I suggest you and Mr. Moses listen to this recording together.”He released a deep breath before saying, “This matter is very important. You must let Mr. Moses hear it.“After that, you must tell Mr. Moses that I was the one who sent it to you two. You must, okay?”Sally furrowed her brows and thought about it before understanding Director Wade’s meaning.She smiled. “Director Wade, you can relax. My husband will know that you sent this to me.“I won’t listen to it now. I’ll wait for him to come back and listen to it with him, okay?”“Good, good, good!”Director Wade nodded in satisfaction. “In that case, thank you, Mrs. Moses!”After hanging up, Director Wade opened his drawer while smiling happily. He too
“After all, I have plenty of time.”Elijah furrowed his brows and looked down at the woman sitting on the bed.Warm lighting spilled from the glass lampshade, shining on her clean and pale little face, making her look even purer.The man’s heart jumped slightly.The next second, he scooped her petite little body straight into his arms.“Silly girl.”Elijah held her very, very tightly—so tightly that Sally needed a lot of strength just to speak.She said, “Be gentler…“I can’t breathe…”Upon hearing the woman’s pleading, Elijah returned to his senses and realized that he might have used a little too much strength.“Sorry.”After he apologized in his low and deep voice, he put her back on the bed.“Just now, you said you have something to tell me?”The man sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at her peacefully. “What is it?”“Director Wade, who’s apparently the director of the research institute I used to work at...”Sally picked up the recording pen from the nightstand and
The night was quiet.Sally lay in Elijah’s arms as he cuddled her.Sally’s face was full of shock and embarrassment whereas Elijah’s eyes carried a trace of amusement.The bedroom was filled with the sounds coming from the recording pen.“Your husband doesn’t know we’re here, does he?”“Uh-huh, he doesn’t know. He definitely won’t know… Does your wife know we’re here?”“That old hag, bah!”“Come, darling, give me a kiss.”“Hold me…”Sally was speechless, “…”When Director Wade gave this to her, he had seriously said this was something very important.In the end… it was a recording of two people whom she did not know having an affair?Sally’s face turned bright red with embarrassment. She buried her head into the covers, not daring to lock eyes with Elijah.However, even if she hid in the covers, the two voices could still reach her.Finally, Sally could only carefully poke her head out. “... Hubby, you’d better turn it off.”Elijah smirked. He knew this little brat must
The first thing she did was to press the power button to turn it off!For some reason, she accidentally pressed the volume up button instead.In an instant, the woman's voice was amplified!Sally's eyes also instantly widened!Meanwhile, Elijah smiled at her as he looked at her. She finally found the power button.She let out a deep breath and pressed it down.The whole room instantly went quiet."Finally, it stopped..."Sally let out a long breath and plopped down as if all the energy in her body had been drained out. She completely forgot that she was in a strange position on top of Elijah at the moment.After her breathing calmed down, she suddenly sensed a hint of seduction and awkwardness in the room.The woman subconsciously lifted her head.In front of her, Elijah was looking at her silently.His gaze was so deep that she could not tell what he was thinking about.With him looking at her like that, she felt a little nervous. When she turned her head to look, she rea
Elijah's kiss caught Sally off guard.She had not even thought about what kind of look or expression she was going to show after being kissed.After all... this was the first time she had been so intimate with him since she lost her memory.She laid stiffly on the bed, her mind going blank.Even so, Elijah did not mind.He smiled faintly when she could not breathe and started blushing as she pushed him away. "So, Mrs. Moses, was that good enough?”Sally's face flushed to her ears as she looked up at him. "I told you... I told you not to suppress yourself, but why did you... Why did you kiss me?!""Because that's what I've been wanting to do.”The man hugged her back into his arms. "Sally."Sally pursed her lips, and her voice sounded a little nasally. “Hmm?”"Please get your memory back soon.”The man let out a deep breath. "I can’t keep holding back like this."Sally frowned and did not understand what he meant.The man raised his hand and pinched her nose. "Because you l
————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
