One was the director of the nursing home.One was Mindy's immediate superior, the manager of the nursing home.Mindy was stunned for a moment, then immediately shed tears of gratitude.Was it because he knew she had been wronged that her manager brought the director with him to do her justice?She got up from the ground excitedly. It seemed that giving her manager presents during the holidays proved worth it!At the door, the manager gave Mindy a solemn look and strode toward her.Mindy could not hide her excitement. "Boss..."Smack!Before Mindy could finish, the manager slapped Mindy in the face and the corridor echoed with the sound of the loud slapping.The slap completely knocked Mindy off her feet.She was shocked. "Boss..."The director of the nursing home moved fearfully to Elijah's side. "Young Master Elijah, if someone in the nursing home has offended you, please be the bigger person and take the high road..."Javier, who stood from a distance, frowned deeply.Th
Mindy was so shocked she almost collapsed to the ground.Sally had only pushed Elijah a few steps forward before Lionel stopped her."Young Master Elijah, well... You can't take your anger out on the entire nursing home just because my employee didn't know how to behave properly."Sally frowned and glanced at Lionel. "Are you the director here?"Lionel was thrilled that Sally struck up a conversation with him. "Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm the director here!"Sally pursed her lips. "Well, the washing machine here has been broken for days and has yet to be fixed."She suggested in all seriousness, "Since you're the director, please get someone to repair it quickly. The nursing home's sheets are very hard. Washing them by hand is not only very laborious but also not very clean."With that, she glanced back at the mountain of sheets and quilt covers in the corner. "Hand-washed sheets are certainly not as sterile as machine..."Since this was a nursing home, maintaining hygiene and disinfect
Lionel wiped the cold sweat off his head and looked up at the manager and Mindy. "Come here!"Mindy was already paralyzed with fear by the manager's words. With great effort, the manager dragged Mindy over."Young Master Elijah..."With a bang, Mindy dropped to her knees. "Young Master Elijah, I didn't know Sally was your wife... That's why...""I'm not picking on her. It's because the washing machines are faulty, so I..."Before she had finished speaking, a navy-blue figure flashed into the laundry room.The boy, dressed in navy blue, walked up to the washing machine, stretched out his slender fair hand, and turned it on.In everyone's shocked eyes, the washing machine began to work vigorously.Blair curled his lips and stepped aside; his face puffed with anger. "She was lying!"Mindy knelt on the floor, she immediately trembled uncontrollably!Sally widened her eyes. 'Isn't the washing machine... working?''Why did Mindy let her hand-wash the sheets and quilt covers for da
Mindy looked up in shock. She almost thought she had misheard.The boy, who was dressed in blue, strode over and picked her head up like picking up a chick. With the sound of a smack, a slap landed hard on her face!Mindy was struck dizzy by the slap.She looked up in confusion. "Young Master Elijah, it's… it's for your own good!""For my own good?"The man sneered and pulled Sally into his arms. His actions were gentle, but his voice was cold and unwelcoming. "Is it for my own good to tell lies about my wife to my face?"To see a woman, who once held her head high, beg for mercy on the ground as she was taught a lesson, Sally felt a flicker of joy and a little pity.She turned around to beg Elijah for mercy, but she was reminded of the time she was returned with ingratitude for saving Liam's life in Skyhigh Gardens.Sally simply pursed her lips. Although she found Elijah's punishment a little too harsh, she eventually did not intervene for Mindy.After all, everything happene
Smack!Blair's second slap landed squarely on Mindy's face.Blair did it with such force that after two slaps, Mindy's face was incredibly swollen.She wept and cried and fell on her knees, begging for mercy, but insisted on Javier and Sally having an unusual relationship.When Blair's fourth slap landed, Mindy was finally knocked unconscious.Lionel came over and asked warily, "Young Master Elijah... Shall I splash her with cold water so you can go on?"Elijah smirked faintly. "You're really hard on your people, Lionel."He glanced down at the little one in his arms. "What do you think?"Sally's eyes were still on Javier.Although she did not admire Javier as much as before, she could not bear to see her former dream guy showing such a self-deprecating and dejected expression.The woman's attention was on Javier. When she heard the man's deep voice in her ear, she immediately came to herself. "Hubby, what's wrong?"Her cry of "Hubby" sounded like nails on a chalkboard in Ja
Whispering sweet nothings?Sally shook her head. “I wasn’t whispering sweet nothings! I encouraged him to have a little more confidence in himself!”After all, Javier was a top student among thousands from their rural school. He should not have that kind of inferior, self-deprecating expression.Elijah raised his hand and picked up a lock of her hair, playing with it carefully. “What aspect did you want him to be self-confident in?”From the corner of her eye, Sally watched him elegantly toy with her hair. Her eyes turned, and she simply laid straight on his lap.This way, he could more easily touch her hair.He could not see anything after all. She should take care of his feelings.This girl’s bold move made a great portion of the coldness in Elijah’s eyes vanish.Along with that, his tone was no longer that hard either. “What did you say to him?”“I said…”Recalling what she had said to Javier earlier, Sally’s face reddened. “I said that although he’s not as great as you ar
“If you didn’t have Elijah acting on your behalf, you would’ve been bullied to death long ago!”When Elijah was brought up, the smile in Sally’s eyes deepened. “My Hubby is so great.”Evonne was speechless. “…”She stood up and went to toss her leftovers with Sally, side-eyeing her. “You’ve only been married to him for so long, yet everything you say has ‘Hubby’ in it. You’ve fallen for him so quickly?”Sally’s eyes reddened instantly.She pressed her lips together. “He is my Hubby. If I don’t call him that, what do I call him…”The woman’s voice became smaller and smaller until it was as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. “Moreover, we’re husband and wife. Even if I do like him… There’s nothing wrong with that either…”However, Evonne did not hear what she said later.Because when she turned around to look at Sally, the plate in her hands crashed into a female student.She hastily apologized, but the other party did not say a word.Upon lifting her head, only then did Evonne notice
Sally narrowed her eyes, her hands tightly balled into fists.Evonne refused to back down. “Joan Lewis, the one who bumped into you was me. What are you going at Sally for?”Joan smiled coldly. “I’ll go at whoever I want to go at. Do I need a reason?”After saying this, coldness flashed in her eyes. “Not to mention what happened last time… Sally Summers, I still haven’t gotten you back for it!”Sally pressed her lips together. As for what happened last time, she had clearly been the victim. It was Joan who had put her on the forum and even purposely came to her to cause trouble.Now Joan actually wanted to get her back?She pressed her lips together. “Ms. Lewis, I don’t want to argue with you. How exactly do you want to settle this matter?”Evonne tugged Sally to her and started walking away. “She already slapped me. How else will it be settled? We’re even now!“And you, still wanting to reimburse her for her clothes… She’d definitely name a high number…”“You’re leaving just
