Erin didn't object if Corwin wanted to head down the mountain. That was what she wanted anyway.Both of them descended the mountain together. They barely said anything to each other as Erin was focused on the mountainous path, and Corwin did not interrupt her. Chandler and the others were already awake when Erin and Corwin were nearing the villa. None of them slept in. They all went to the dining hall to have breakfast.While they were talking about Erin, Jill appeared with a small backpack. "Don't worry. Erin asked me to hike up the mountain with her this morning, but I didn't wake up. She probably went on her own.""It's good for Erin to go hiking. It's better than her staying indoors." Calix walked up to their table with his buffet breakfast.When Chandler appeared in the hall with Eddie and Enny, Kylan waved to them. They joined the others.Chandler held the menu and asked Enny, "What would you like for breakfast, Enny?"Enny had her hand under her chin. She squinted slee
Brooke apologized like she had been terribly wronged. After hearing that, Erin comforted her, "Don't overthink it, Brooke. Liam has no ill will."She turned to Liam and said, "Hurry up and get into the car, Liam. Or else your father will get out of the car too."Displeased, Liam got into the car at Erin's reminder.Chandler happened to be taking a call while Eddie and Enny were both in the booster seats at the back."I'm fine, Mrs. Frost. Go ahead and get in the car. I can see that Mr. Knight and the others are all waiting for you."Brooke took a few steps back and waved goodbye. "Goodbye, Mrs. Frost.""We'll get going now, Brooke." Erin did not stay any longer. They all had a farewell meal before they left the villa. Brooke had only run out with the gifts as Erin loaded the luggage into the car."Mrs. Frost, please forgive my father for being unable to send all of you off. He's having a video conference.""It's fine. Thank your father on our behalf for his generous hospitali
Tina thought she discovered a huge secret, but Ryder said calmly, "I didn't say anything. You're just believing in whatever you're willing to believe in. You're judging the truth with feelings. Is that how you act as a police officer?"Jill was not surprised by Ryder's reaction. She knew he would not admit it in front of Tina.How could he possibly let one more person gossip about the fact that he was secretly in love with Erin?"Ryder, stop lying to me. You like Erin, don't you?" Tina asked."What's so good about Erin? I think you women are nuts in the head. You shouldn't think I'll feel the same just because Paulo is deeply in love with her. That's absurd," said Ryder.He looked so calm that Tina started to question herself. "Isn't that true?"Jill turned around to glance at her and said, "Tina, stop guessing. Even if Ryder truly liked Erin, he no longer stands a chance. Isn't that right?""That's right," Tina replied.Jill circled back to the topic naturally, asking, "Tina,
Gavin heard a ringing in his ear after hearing Erin's question. What he did not wish to face the most still happened in the end. His expression was very stiff, but Margot still had not realized it. She even complained, "Darling, you're here too late. Gina and I walked so much that we almost collapsed. You're so busy with work that you don't care about me at all—"At that moment, Gavin pulled her away while looking upset and said, "Let's talk after we get back.""Why? What's the matter? Why did you suddenly become upset?" Margot was so absorbed in her world with Gavin that she overlooked Erin, who was standing behind her.At that time, Erin's back was facing her. She did not see her face at all when she ran over."Gavin, does Wilma know this?" Erin asked. The partner of a person who had an affair would usually have no clue.As Gavin's sister, Erin thought she would not want to interfere if Wilma knew and had no opinions. After all, it was her brother's family matters.Her questi
Gavin's words immediately made Gina nervous. "Gavin, you can't let that slip when Margot returns later. She doesn't know about us. Besides, I was drunk that night.""Is that so? You were drunk, yet you were still able to call out my name?" Gavin was not convinced.Gina and Margot were best friends. Gavin would often take them to supper after they were done with work.Once, when Margot was not around, Gina touched Gavin's calf with her leg under the table. But Gina explained that it was an accident.Not long after that, when Gina was helping Gavin clean his office, she purposefully let her bra strap show. Gavin thought that she was deliberately trying to seduce him again back then.That was until Gina got drunk because she fought with Tony's bodyguard. Margot had also gotten drunk with her.After Gavin took Gina back to her apartment, she hugged him.He could not hold himself back and did the deed with her.But after that night, Gina kept her distance from Gavin. She did not eve
Wilma's gaze was filled with disdain as she said, "Hmph! I'm breastfeeding and don't have the time to cater to his sexual needs, so he slept with other women. Sure enough, all men are pigs."The private investigator said, "Mrs. Lawrence, it'll be easier to deal with Margot. She might just be grateful to Mr. Lawrence because he had given her a big sum when she urgently needed it. "But her best friend, Gina, is more than she led on. She had installed surveillance cameras in the apartment upstairs and recorded her doing the deed with Mr. Lawrence. She might choose to use it in the future."He added, "Gina also has a relationship with Tony's personal bodyguard. She's been keeping two men wanting more."Wilma asked, "Have you gotten the video of my husband having an affair with Gina?""I have. It's in this flash drive." The private investigator handed the flash drive to her."Excellent. You're highly efficient. I'm pleased with that. There's 100 thousand dollars in this card. Here yo
Three days later, Erin received a call from Gavin. She was stunned by what he told her. Something had happened to Margot.She had been beaten up by three thugs and almost taken advantage of when she was walking at night. Fortunately, two security guards who got off their night shifts happened to pass by and helped her.But Gavin was still in Emstia and could not rush back. That was why he asked Erin to do him a favor and visit Margot.To be more specific, he was asking her to deal with Margot. He said he wanted to cut ties with her.He wanted to deal with it after he returned to the country, but Margot kept urging him over the phone to come home. That was why Gavin decided to take this chance to break things off with Margot.But he was not completely heartless. He had Erin bring 200 thousand dollars cash to Margot on his behalf. This was so Margot could return to her hometown after being discharged from the hospital.When Erin appeared in the hospital room, Margot immediately c
Two days later, Erin appeared in the hospital again.Margot had gotten Erin's number through the doctor. She was looking for Erin to ask for even more money. That was a suggestion Gina gave her.Late in the afternoon, Erin entered Margot's room.She stared at Margot solemnly and asked, "Are you sure you're pregnant with Gavin's child?"Margot shrugged. "Would I have the guts to look for you if I was unsure? It's fine if you don't believe me. I'll keep the child, and we can have a DNA paternity test done with Gavin after the child is born. You'll believe me then." Margot's confident expression looked very annoying."Erin, I haven't told Gavin about the child. I know he has always wanted a healthy son. Maybe he'll let me deliver the child," Margot threatened.Erin sneered and said, "How are you so sure it's a boy?""I don't know yet. I can have the doctor check once the child grows bigger. I'll deliver the child, even if it's a girl. I can afford to raise the child anyway." M
