Uh⊠hit a woman⊠Bennett coughed lightly as he raised his gaze toward Cynthia. He admitted that he was furious, but not to the point where he could raise a hand toward a young girl. The girl looked about the same age as his Sal, and he was a man nearing his forties. Even if he was going to hit a woman, he couldnât hit one as young as her, could he?Other people who didnât know better might even think he was disciplining his daughter. He frowned and caught a glimpse of the corner of a navy-blue shirt hidden in the shadows. The man frowned. âBlair?â The thirteen-year-old boy stepped out of the shadows slowly. âIâm here.â Bennett gave him a look. âDo you see her? Sheâs hurting your brother and sister-in-law.â "Beat her up." âOkay.â Blair nodded and strode toward Cynthia. Cynthia stared coldly at Blair. âDonât you dare touch me.âIâm Elijahâs futureâŠââSlapâ!â She did not manage to finish her sentence before Blair slapped her. Then, he pushed her onto the ground
What an honor it was to be the recipient of something so glorious! This could be brought up in all manners of circumstance in the future to garner the respect of everyone present! âI donât like your brother that much.â Bennett yawned and glanced cooly at Freya. âWeâre here to visit Sal.â The expression on Freyaâs face froze. âVist⊠Sally Summers?â What did the girl have that made her worth a visit!? The adopted daughter of an arsonist. A country bumpkin. A⊠woman who did not know any better!âYes.â Bennett freed himself from Jordanâs arm and walked over to Pierre to take Sallyâs unconscious body from him. âWeâre here for her.â He frowned and tried to pull Elijahâs arm off her but failed to do so. Cynthia laughed. Her face was riddled with bruises. âYou canât break them apart!âAll of us tried, and we all failed!âThe only way to separate them is to carve off that b*tchâs flesh!â Bennett frowned and raised his foot, which was encased in a handmade leather bo
Cynthiaâs eyes grew wide. âSisâŠâ If Freya said that, it meant that she was admitting that Sally and Elijah would not be separated! Well then, what did that make her?!Cynthia used the wall to support herself as she struggled to her feet and limped over to Freya. âSis, didnât you say that they would be getting divorced soon?âArenât I supposed to be Elijahâs wife?â Old Master Tate smiled as he stroked his beard. âYoung lady, are you going to marry Elijah?âWill you still marry him and serve him if he lost both his arms?â Cynthia stared at him. Of course she would not do that! She had already refused to marry Elijah when she first heard that he was blind! If Elijah had not clarified that he was sighted, she would never have thought about marrying him! Who would be as dumb as Sally Summers to get married to a disabled man! However, she kept these thoughts to herself. Meanwhile, on the surface, she plastered a genuine smile onto her face as she said, âOf course I will!
He glared at Freya as he said that. Freya hurriedly lowered her head and said, âI understand.â âYou.â Old Master Tate pointed at Pierre and Blair. âAnd you.âTake the two unconscious people and follow me!â Startled, Freya said, âGrandfather Tate, what are youâŠâElijah is not in good shape, he needs to recuperate at the hospitalâŠâ âRecuperate my ass!â Old Master Tate spat, âYouâll stir up more trouble if I let him recuperate here.âI donât trust you!â He glared coldly at Pierre. âBring these two back to the Moses house!â âGet the old man at the Moses house to take a good look at how his grandson and granddaughter abused my granddaughter!â Pierre nodded. âYes sir.â With that, he and Blair helped Elijah and Sally into the elevator. Old Master Tate yawned and glanced at Bennett. âIâll leave this to you. Get to the Moses family house when youâre done. Weâll make that old man pay!â âAlright.â Bennett nodded and watched his father leave with the two youngsters.
ShabbyâŠFreya had uttered that word many times in her life. She had even used it to describe Sallyâs background. However, never in her wildest dreams would she have imagined that it would be used against her, or the Moses family. Yet, it made sense when the word was used by someone from the Tate family. Freyaâs fingers squeezed together as she knelt on the ground. She gritted her teeth and said, âI understand that the Moses family is no match for the Tate family.â âHowever, this is a private matter between Elijah and Sally. We might be their family members, but⊠we should not meddle.â If what Bennett said was true. Sally was indeed the young lady of the Tate family. There was no way she was going to separate Elijah from Sally. Everyone knew that Bennett did not have a son. He only had one daughter. If Sally was Bennettâs daughter, Elijah would be the Tate familyâs son-in-law. Everything the Tate family owned would belong to Elijah and Sally in the future. The
Freya raised her head and stared at the woman in confusion. She resembled Zoey Williams, but not completely. They looked the same.The difference was in their eyes, temperament, and gaze. The Zoey Williams she had used to control had never seemed this confident in herself. âZoey.â Bennett massaged his temples and pointed toward Cynthia. âKill her.â âAlright.â Zoey bowed respectfully and walked over to Cynthia elegantly before grabbing her by the collar and punching her. âLet me go!â âYou canât hit me like that!â âMy uncleâŠâ âNot even your uncle can save you.â Zoey smiled slightly. âYou signed your death penalty when you bullied our Young Lady.â For all those years, not only had Freya trained Zoey in being an emotionally sensitive person who was skilled in seducing men, but also in combat. Her skills were no match for Olâ Joe and Blair, but she was one of the best female fighters. Cynthiaâs screams echoed through the corridor. Bennett seemed to be unfaze
Cynthia had nearly been beaten to a pulp by the time Freya finished signing the agreement. She fell to the ground in pain and begged for mercy, âPlease, donât kill meâŠâ âMy uncleâŠâ âShut up about your uncle!â Freya could not stand it anymore. She took a deep breath, grabbed Cynthia by the collar, and slapped her twice. âAll they have to do is move a fingertip to bring your uncle to his knees!â âNo one can save you if you offend the Tate family!â âGet lost!â Cynthia was startled. She knew that Freya was giving her a chance to live, and thus did not dare say more before she scuttled off with her bruises. âZoey, letâs go.â Bennett yawned. âWe should be over at the Moses family house.â âYou know what heâs like. Heâll probably tear down their house if Iâm not there to stop him.â Zoey nodded and dusted herself off before she trailed after Bennett. Freya stood rooted to the spot and could not help calling after her. âZoey.â Zoey furrowed her brows slightly before t
âI donât care. Iâm going to torture your grandson!â âJordan Tate, itâs been so many years, and you still have no sense of shame! Theyâre a perfectly fine couple, but you just had to be the old demon against them being together!â âHow dare you call me an old demon!â âThe only person whoâs against them being together is the little demon in your family!â ............Sally slowly cracked her eyelids open. What was going on⊠âMadam, youâre awake?â Pierre hurriedly passed her a glass of water when he noticed that she had woken. âDoes it still hurt?â Sally backed away instinctively when she saw Pierreâs face. She frowned. âWhereâs Elijah?â Pierre was stunned for a moment before he understood that Sally thought he was doing the same thing as Olâ Joe.â Thus, he sighed and handed the glass of water to Sally. âMadam, hear me out.â âBoth Olâ Joe and I had been hand-picked by the Young Miss to serve Sir.â âWhen she vanished without a word, we only had Sir to answer to.â
ââââOne 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 Cityâs 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. âWhen I was a kid, Freya always said that I would have to marry her brother when I grew up.â âHowever, I realized that I did not like Elijah. I much preferred Sis Sally.â âWho would have thought that at the end of the day, I would still end up marrying Freyaâs younger brother. As per her wishes, Iâll be taking care of her brother forever, and allowing her brother to care for me for the rest of my life.â Thomas smiled as he pulled her into his arms. âMy beloved ZZ, I finally get to marry you.â 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
âIf you destroy everything I have, then Iâll destroy everything you have!â Queenie gritted her teeth, a hideous expression on her face as she glared at Sally and said, âIf it werenât for you, I would still be the high-and-mighty young lady of the Tate family!â âItâs all because of you that I became nearly a stand-in for you. Iâve enjoyed many years of lavish treatment at the lavish family, but I was discarded unceremoniously into the dust!â âSally Summers, itâs all your fault! Everything is because of you!â âI wonât forgive you even if I become a ghost!â âAlright then, go be a ghost!â Elijah narrowed his eyes and raised a hand to grip Queenieâs chin. The hatred in his eyes caused Queenie to smile. âElijah Moses, choke me to death if you have the guts to do so!â âIf you canât choke me to death, I have multiple ways to make life miserable for you!â âYour sister is just one part of my plan!â âYou probably donât know this yet.â Her lips curled upwards into a bloodthir
The woman lying in bed frowned and said in a weak, hoarse voice, âYou areâŠâ âIâm the woman who did it for a long time with your husband.â She sat down on a nearby chair and watched gleefully as the womanâs face turned increasingly paler. âYou have a pretty bad memory, Mrs. Lucca.â âWe just met the other day.â She shook her head as she spoke. âIt makes sense, though. Itâs only normal that a half-dead person would not have a great memory.â âForgive me for being blunt, Mrs. Lucca. President Lucca told me that you donât have many days left.â âWhen youâre gone, heâs going to leave his daughter and marry me.â The woman lying in bed turned pale as she shook her head and said, âImpossible⊠Thatâs impossibleâŠâ âQuincy, heâŠâ âNothing is impossible.â Queenie continued smiling a gleeful and flaunting smile. She threw her pregnancy test strip onto the womanâs face. âLook, Iâm pregnant.â âHow could I have gotten pregnant if we only did it one time? Such coincidences donât exi
âIn your dreams!â Quincy gritted his teeth together tightly. âI wouldnât want you even if every other woman on the planet was dead!â The woman on the other end of the line laughed lightly. âYouâre going to abandon your child because Freya Moses is dead?â âYou planted your seed in my stomach.â Quincy gritted his teeth and was about to continue arguing when Elijah gave him a look. Quincy pursed his lips. âSo, what do you want?â âLetâs meet up.â Queenie yawned. âCan you pick a place?â âThereâs a cafe nearby the hospital.â Quincy sighed. âI donât have much time for you, so donât try talking nonsense after we meet.ââWhat a man you are, trying to ghost someone after youâve slept with them.â The woman shrugged nonchalantly. âAlright. You can wait for me. Iâll be there soon.â She hung up. Quincy pursed his lips and looked up at Elijah. âWhy do you want me to meet her?â âYouâve got to have some bait if you want to trap someone.â âThis time, Quincy, youâre the bait.
The sharp end of the knife sank into Quincyâs 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. Elijahâs cold voice rang beside his ear. âDo you feel like my sister will live on for much longer if you die before her eyes?â âHave you ever thought about how much she likes you and how important you are to her?â 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 Quincyâs eyes. Ignoring the blood flowing from his chest, he dashed over to Freya and held her tightly. âItâs my fault.â âItâs all my fault!â âFreya⊠I canât live without you.â âI cannot⊠IâŠâ 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 womanâs face in the ward was pale, and she was considerably thinner than from before hospitalization. She looked extremely haggard. Tears welled in Quincyâs 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!âIs there anything you would like to say?â Freya leaned against her pillows. Eyes shut, she seemed to have
Sallyâs lips pursed themselves together when Freyaâs 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 Zoeyâs life away from her. Even now, Zoey still bore the scars she had inflicted upon her on her face. And she had even attacked Sallyâs mother during her and Elijahâs 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. âFreyaâŠâ âFreya will not be in great condition when she regains consciousness. You need to prepare yourself mentally.â Freyaâs 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 doctorâs 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. âUnhealthy stuff.â Sally had been enjoying herself and raised her head angrily when her instant noodles were taken away. âI donât care if itâs not nutritious! Iâm hungry⊠Hubby?â The emotions in the womanâs eyes turned from anger to shock, and then to surprise! Reaching out her arms, she encircled Elijahâs neck and jumped into his arms. âYouâre back!â âI missed you so much!â 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 Freyaâs heart, she was starving, exhausted, and had little to no energy left. Evonne, who was beside her, was not much better off. âItâs steady! The patientâs heartbeat is steady again!â The nurse staring at the electrocardiograph yelled out excitedly! Given the condition the patient was in, if it werenât for these two doctors, they would never have been able to save her! âDr. Summers and Dr. Turner are amazing!â âOf course.â A senior doctor standing nearby smiled as he stroked his beard and said, âHow did you think Dr. Summers earned her title of genius surgeon?â The young nurseâs mouth widened in surprise. âIn that case⊠why are Dr. Summers and Dr. Turner no longer working as doctors?â The senior doctor sighed. âI guess they have their reasonsâŠâ In another corner, Evonne leaned against the wall, exhausted as she turned to look at Sally. âDr. Summers, do you still plan to stay on as a housewife?â Sa
