“Really?” Ann stopped eating her claypot, took out her handphone, and started scrolling. She then excitedly tugged on Sarah’s hand.“Sarah, it’s really your sister. So, will you be able to meet James Marshall who will soon become your brother-in-law? Get me an autographed picture of him, please. He’s a PhD student from Harvard Business School and is the CEO of Marshall Group. It’s an achievement that I don’t even dare to think about.”Sarah slapped her hand straight away, and said, “If you want it, go get it yourself.”“Uh, I can’t even meet him in person. I can only look at his photos at most. He’s so good looking. Your sister really picked up a treasure.”Sarah bowed her head and ate her food. She forgave Ann. The clearest observation she had of James was how he looked in his burial clothes.It was the weekend and usually the day to return home, but Sarah stayed in school.It had already been a few days. The whole York family should be immersed in the joy of Molly becoming Jame
Sarah was startled when she heard the words ‘brother-in-law’. She had to say that Molly was quick to take action. She was also very thick-skinned. “Look! The former campus belle of Enlightening Middle School is here.”“Being able to be chosen as James’ fiancee by the Marshall family... It’s true that beauty has its own value.” “We can ask Sarah to get her brother-in-law’s autographed photo in the future.”…The library door opened again, and everyone’s eyes fell on Molly and Sarah.Molly heard the whisperings around her. As expected, she was the most suitable fiancee for James in everyone’s eyes.If it was not for the fact that James was in a coma and his situation had not improved at all, she would not have come if Marshall’s family had not ordered her to pick Sarah up.“Sarah, I’m here to take you home.” Molly hesitated for a moment but still asked against her will.Everyone in the whole world believed that she was James’ fiancee so she was not afraid of Sarah.She just n
It was said that Old Mistress Marshall pampered James the most. Sarah curried favor with Old Mistress Marshall. No one would dare to bully Sarah openly even if she could not do as she liked in the Marshall family in the future.“Pfft…” a cold sneer came, “even you deserve to find my mum.”“Roxane, why are you talking like this?” The Old Mistress glared at the girl and stepped forward to hold Sarah’s hand before saying, “Girl, I didn’t know what happened to James until after the incident. You’ve been wronged that day.”Sarah felt a tingling sensation on her nose as emotions rose. Although she was not sure how much Old Mistress meant it, at least she was the first person who comforted her. “How is he?”“Not so good. That kid has been a loner ever since he was born. People who he doesn’t like aren’t allowed to go near him. No one would expect that he would have a new life once he met you. He’s too lonely to be asleep all the time, so is it okay if you keep him company?”Sarah natural
While reaching out to unbutton James’ collar, the jade necklace around his neck was revealed. She gently touched the necklace with her fingertips and it slipped into her hands. Every time Sarah thought of the incident she encountered, she felt like it was a dream.However, she finally felt that it was real when the jade slipped in her hand again.Sarah closed her eyes while holding the necklace and began practicing the Nine Meridians and Eight Veins method to continue recovering her damaged five viscera and six bowels.Sarah truly understood what it meant by ‘Sickness comes on horseback, but departs on foot’.Ding-a-ling… “Ms. Sarah, Old Mistress invited you for dinner.” It was dark, so the Old Mistress instructed Madam Zoe to call Sarah down for dinner.“Okay.” Sarah opened her eyes steadily and bowed her head down to look at the jade in her hand. She did not expect the effect of her practice to double while holding the jade as compared to the effect without the jade.Sarah fe
“Wendy, Molly has been here for a few days and she has been taking care of James. It’s hard work without merit. Don’t you think it’s too cruel to just push her away?” said Julia, the second daughter-in-law.She noticed that James’ complexion was much ruddier, so she panicked. She absolutely could not let this Sarah woman wake James up. Therefore, she quickly supported Molly. Undeniably, while Molly accompanied James for those few days, James did not improve at all and instead, had deteriorated every single day.The obvious difference was clear to her.All she wanted was for James to die quickly so her son would stand a chance to compete for the CEO of Marshall Group. “Sis-in-law, James is my son. I’ll take care of him myself. If you have time, you’d care for your son who hasn’t been home for a week… Just in case he had been led astray by other people. At that time, it’ll be too late for you to regret it.” Wendy looked at Jenny charismatically and said word by word.“Xavier hasn
“This…” Madam Zoe hesitated and was afraid to answer. Every servant in the Marshall family had different salaries which they were not allowed to disclose.“She receives ten thousand bucks. If you want a monthly salary, I’ll give you a million a month if you’re able to wake James up.”“Mum, are you out of your mind? Her skill isn't worth that much. Even my allowance is a million per month,” Roxane disagreed.“Shut up.” Wendy still had to show a little grace toward an outsider, but she just yelled at her daughter without restraint. Nothing was more important than waking James up.Since everyone thought James was dead, every member of the Marshall family was eyeing for the position of CEO. She had previously used the excuse that James would wake up soon so she did not need to re-nominate a new CEO from the Marshall family. However, everyone in the Marshall family was restlessly pressuring her after seeing James showing no sign of waking up at all.Everyone looked at Sarah and forgot
“Yes, Madam Zoe is hardworking so I agree.”“But she’s got a lot of responsibility, so naturally she’s going to have to work a lot harder than she did before.”When Wendy heard that, she did not hesitate at all and called the butler over. “Madam Zoe’s salary will be increased to 20 thousand this month. I’ll pay for it, so there’s no need to deduct it from the family’s expenses.”The butler nodded. Madam Zoe excitedly looked at Sarah. She had been thinking and wanting a pay rise but she did not expect it to happen because of Sarah’s words.She must do her best to help Sarah in the future.When Old Mistress saw that an agreement had been achieved, she said, “Let’s go, dinner is ready. Sarah, you’ll sit next to Wendy.”Sarah faintly glanced at Wendy; she still did not like this woman.However, with Wendy controlling the whole situation, no one in the Marshall family would pick on or upstage her which was quite nice. Undeniably, the dining table of a rich family was definitely dif
Sarah’s eyes were red. She turned her head around and glared at James. He was not wearing burial clothes this time, but she was upset when she looked at him.If it was not for him, she would not be trapped here.It was not impossible for her to get out if she wanted to, but if she used the Nine Yin Acupoint method again, the recovery she made on her five viscera and six bowels would be damaged again.She would have to start all over again.The more Sarah thought about it, the angrier she got. She reached out to James and fiercely pinched the back of his hand.However, the pressure of her pinch looked ruthless, but it was actually just a light touch.Thinking about it, James was just as much a victim as she was. It was pointless for her to blame him since he knew nothing.Nevertheless, Sarah thought his eyebrows moved a little when she casually pinched the man in front of her.After reading a book for a while, Sarah finally calmed herself down and went into the bathroom.She ha
