“Are you going to take responsibility and advise CEO Summers?”

Sally’s eyebrows scrunched together, and she turned her head to glare menacingly at Dave. “What are you saying?!”

“Sally.”

Elijah smiled lightly and wheeled himself in front of her. “Let them all go out first.”

Sally flattened her lips. She obediently issued the orders to make Dave and the remaining few leave.

With the closing of the door to the meeting room, only Sally and Elijah were left in the huge meeting room.

“Do you feel very pressured?”

The man pulled Sally into his arms with just one hand and gently kissed her cheek. “Do you regret it?”

“No.”

Sally earnestly shook her head. “I don’t regret arguing with that Holden Walker.

“I’m just…”

A little surprised.

He was just a department manager, yet his influence could be so large.

Thinking about this, her head lowered a little defeatedly. “I even got Dave to get Joan’s father back.

“Do you think if he knew that I caused the company to become like this on the

    Sally stared at Elijah. The light in her eyes morphed from her initial shock to disbelief before finally becoming fervent worship!She had not misjudged him!Her husband was the best!Without caring about these applicants’ gazes, Sally excitedly held Elijah’s face, kissing it all over.The atmosphere in the meeting room grew exceptionally quiet.These people who were led here by Pierre were not actually here to apply for jobs or whatnot. They were the backbones of overseas enterprises that Elijah had plucked out who had flown here from abroad overnight.These elites’ impressions of Elijah had always been that he was cold, aloof, unreasonable, and reserved.Thus, when these elites saw Elijah being kissed on the face by a doll-faced Sally, wave after wave of shock rolled over the elites’ heart.“Alright.”Elijah indulgently caressed Sally’s head. “These people will sit in for those people’s positions earlier.“I have to sort out their information now and arrange work for them.

    “Got it!”Laying on the bed, Jameson rolled his eyes. He looked up and glanced at Javier, who was still earnestly cleaning the clinic. “There’s a burn patient on the first floor of the Summers Corporation building. Go handle that.”On the phone, Pierre had said that Sally had gotten hurt, and he requested that Jameson go over personally.Jameson pressed his lips together. Did he think Jameson would believe it?According to the level of pampering Elijah showered on that girl, if she had been hurt, his first response would be to immediately send a car over to pick Jameson up!Now, Elijah only got his butler to pass the message to get Jameson to handle it?Jameson had reason to believe that the person who was actually hurt was just some person Pierre was close to.Since it was just the butler’s friend, he naturally did not need to go over personally.Making Javier go in his place was most suitable.…Jameson’s clinic was not far from Summers Corporation’s building, where Sally w

    “Sally.”Javier looked down at Sally. “Is what your friend said true?”Sally leaned on the couch, forehead breaking out in cold sweat from the pain.When Javier had been treating her wound earlier, he seemed to have zoned out at one point and had been heavy-handed. Her originally painful wound was now so agonizing that she even found breathing difficult.However, she still endured the pain and did her best to make herself look like she was not in an uncomfortable state.Seeing that Sally was not answering, Javier opened his mouth again to ask, “Your husband can really see?”“Huh?”Sally returned to her senses and squeezed out a smile that was less than sightly. “I don’t know either… I remember he told me that he can see when he’s anxious.“However, I was dazed that day. I can’t really tell if it was a dream or reality.”Having said that, Sally subconsciously glanced at her finger that still had a Band-Aid on.Actually, she secretly believed that it was all real.“Found it.”

    “He’s blind after all.”Evonne was speechless. “…”For a while, she unexpectedly felt there was no way to refute this…In the end, Sally personally went into the meeting room holding the coffee.Though Elijah could not see, there were many people in the meeting room.She was afraid others would gossip, so she snubbed the pain in her leg and acted like nothing happened. Holding the two cups of coffee, she slowly walked to his side.With every step she took, the area where her leg was burned would flare with fiery pain.Sally was in so much pain that her face was blanched, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.She made her way step by step to Elijah’s side with difficulty.She was even a little glad that this husband she had married could not see a thing.Sitting on the wheelchair, Elijah’s gaze stopped coldly at the cold sweat beaded on her forehead.“What’s up with you?”His low voice asked.Sally smiled with her lips pressed together. Her voice was a little hoarse. She p

    The meeting room was silent for a few seconds.After a few seconds, voices erupted like thunder in the meeting room. “Yes! We’ll remember it!”Sally was shocked.She was both embarrassed and alarmed as her entire face turned red. She struggled, wanting to move out of Elijah’s embrace.“Don’t move around!”The man lowered his voice as he reminded her.However, Sally still instinctively wanted to leave his embrace.There were so many people in the meeting room!It was so embarrassing…She struggled a little, and a sudden bout of pain travelled up from her leg.The young woman’s face turned pale, and she went still, no longer moving.Elijah lowered his head and happened to see the cold sweat that had appeared on her forehead in pain.The man’s eyes darkened. Carrying her, he immediately rolled his wheelchair out the door. “The meeting is cancelled!”…Pierre hurriedly followed along and found a medical room for Elijah to carry Sally into.The man’s movements were gentle as

    “How is it not terrible? I haven’t seen any bright spots in Javier’s resume or person!”“The one she likes now is me, so her taste isn’t terrible.”Jameson did not say a word. “...”Taking a deep breath, he prepared to grovel to Elijah. “That’s because her taste has become good now. You’re way better than Javier!”“Cut the crap.”Jameson scoffed coldly. “Get rid of him right now!”“Yes, yes, yes! I’ll call him immediately!“Oh right, do you want me to dismiss him?”Jameson’s eyebrows scrunched together. “When he came here, he told me that he was dismissed by the hospital because he offended some bigshot. Was that your doing?”“I don’t have that much free time.”Elijah rolled his eyes. “Most likely, those hospitals heard some rumors and were afraid to offend me.”He was silent for a moment as he held his phone. “You can continue using him. I won’t stand in the way.“But next time, remember that you must take care of anything to do with Sal personally. You’re not to let him i

    The man’s doting actions and tone made Sally’s face redden.With her face pressed forcefully in his embrace, the girl’s voice was muffled. “I can take care of myself properly… I can even take care of other people very well.”“You only know how to take care of others and not yourself, yet you don’t find it embarrassing?”The man’s low voice was filled with affection.Off to the side, Evonne watched the scene before her and listened to these two’s conversation…‘Mother, I want to go home! I don’t want to watch this PDA anymore!’…“Hubby, just teaching Joan a simple lesson would be fine.”On the way home from the Summers Corporation, Sally sat in the car and spoke softly as she looked out the window.She was very afraid Elijah would treat Joan the same way Liam was treated.It was not that she was being blindly kind, it was just that she felt that Joan’s father was actually a very sensible man.Because Joan had fought with her, Joan’s father had given Sally the company; He had

    When she raised her eyes, Ruth spat uncouthly. “Pooh! How unfortunate it is to see you!”Sally narrowed her eyes. Leaning on her crutch, she stumbled around her to leave.She could not be bothered to interact with her.Seeing that she was being ignored, Ruth gritted her teeth and chased after her. “Sally Summers, you don’t even have an ounce of guilt upon seeing me?”Sally was perplexed. “Do I need to feel guilty when I see you?”Was the one who should feel guilty not her?After all, Joan had targeted Sally over and over again, yet Sally had still spoken up for Joan in front of Elijah.“Looks like you really are heartless!”Ruth grit her teeth as she glared at Sally. From her perspective, if Sally had not had Blair behind her, she would have gone up and rushed her!Sally did not know why the gaze Ruth directed at her was filled with so much hatred. She could not be bothered to probe further either, so she turned to leave.“Joan Lewis’s family, right?”At the end of the corri

    ————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
