Upon hearing Simon say that he was looking for Erin, Holly's eyes flickered. She looked at Erin with a teasing expression in her eyes and asked, "Erin, when did you become so familiar with Mr. Frost?"Erin's heart tightened. She laughed and replied casually, "Well, Mr. Frost came to see Ms. Zeigler the other day—"She was trying to explain and clear the air, but Simon couldn't bear it anymore. He looked at Holly and said, "Ms. Green, you should remember that I had a girlfriend, right? We broke up a few days ago because she cheated on me with a male actor from the crew, and it was thanks to Ms. Lane's honesty that I didn't propose to such a woman. But I was furious at that time and—" Suddenly, he stopped without finishing his sentence.Erin's face turned one shade paler, and she quickly continued, "He was so furious that he threw my phone into the lake! Later, after he'd calmed down, he felt sorry and let me use his personal phone for the time being. Have you come to retrieve your
Erin, who was dragged into the cave, was in a state of panic. She was anxious because the man covered her mouth so tightly that it prevented her from calling for help. She was also shocked that such an ambush could happen on the set!Her mind was in chaos, and she had no idea who the person was. Was he doing it for money or did he intend to harm her maliciously?The man grabbed Erin's arms and restrained them behind her back, while his other hand covered her mouth. Erin was dragged backward roughly.Soon, the man pulled out a piece of cloth from the pocket of his costume that was made of course cloth. Whenever Erin had a chance, she desperately screamed for help, but after a few seconds, the man stuffed the cloth into her mouth!No matter how much she screamed for help, her voice was muffled due to the piece of cloth in her mouth. Her eyes instantly became bloodshot, and tears of fear welled up in her eyes. Although Erin had her back to the man, she turned her head to try to get a
At this moment, Simon was very angry, so the words he said were naturally unfiltered and not pleasing to hear. Erin couldn't find the words to counter what he said.Seeing her bowing her head and not saying a word, Simon forcefully let go of her hand. Deep within his heart, he looked down on the way Erin chose to keep quiet and not stand up for herself. If he hadn't arrived in time, Erin might have been sexually assaulted by the masked man. He despised Erin's attitude of wanting to cover things up and not cause trouble. It made him furious! One minute later, Simon forcefully kicked open the door to Roman's dressing room.Roman and his makeup artist, Donny, were about to leave the dressing room. They looked at Simon, who had intruded suddenly and quite rudely, with disapproving expressions."Haven't you heard of knocking? Why on earth did you barge in like a bull?" Roman looked at this unexpected guest impassively.Simon didn't have a good impression of Roman to start with. Not on
The next morning, reporters surrounded the studio. Since Erin's news made it to the top of the trending topics, all major websites sent reporters overnight to follow the developments of the case closely. The local authorities felt the pressure from public opinion and couldn't afford to slack off with so many media outlets watching.At 8 am, five police cars entered the studio. It was reported that the suspect had turned himself in, confessing to the crime and the sequence of events. When Erin received this news, she happened to be in the hotel, and Roman had informed her about it over the phone. He mentioned that the culprit was either a local resident of Fleuverton or a supporting actor on the set. The investigators had found the costumes and animal masks worn by the suspect in his rented house. Everything matched the description provided by Erin.The case was quickly solved, disappointing many media outlets that had come to Fleuverton thinking they could get a sensational story.
Megan's words made Percival sneer. "Mind your own business. You have no right to interfere in other people's affairs."He turned and walked away, leaving Megan standing on her spot. Her hatred toward Erin increased right that instant. She continued to stare at Erin's disappearing figure and made no move to leave.May glanced at her and advised, "Don't be angry, Megan. That's just how my cousin is. Don't stoop to her level. Although she's my cousin, I have to admit, she's really promiscuous. Any man can have her! I even suspect that her ex-husband divorced her because of her relationship with Chandler—"This statement immediately caught Megan's full attention. She hurriedly asked, "Who?"May shrugged. "Chandler Frost, the president of Frost Corporation, the Azores tycoon, and the eldest heir of the Frost family. Haven't you heard of him, Megan?"Megan rolled her eyes. "Of course, I've heard of him! Who hasn't heard of Chandler Frost? Are you insulting me?""I'm sorry, Megan. I did
It was Percival again!Erin glanced at the warning note in her hand and clenched it tightly. One of the suspects, Percival, had just taken the initiative to come and practice a scene with her.She called out toward the door, "Wait a moment. I need to change my clothes.""It's okay. Take your time," Percival said politely from outside the door.Erin immediately walked into the dressing room, where there was a separate restroom. She threw the note into the toilet and flushed it, watching as the paper went down the toilet. Afterward, she returned to the makeup room and checked herself in the mirror. Once she confirmed that her makeup was fine, she walked over and opened the door.At that moment, Percival was standing at the door with his back facing her, holding a script in his hand. When he heard the door opening, he turned around. He was dressed in a light blue costume with intricate patterns, and his makeup was exquisite. He looked exactly like a young prince.In the movie, he po
Erin's accusation made Percival freeze on the spot. "What did you say?""I'm saying that you were the one who attacked me!"A flicker of panic flashed across Percival's eyes, but he quickly composed himself and said, "Erin, the script doesn't have the line you just said. You were supposed to use a hidden weapon to injure me and then escape—"Kicking him away, Erin quickly got up. She stared into his eyes and said, "Stop pretending, Percival! I'm certain the man from that day was you! Even though I didn't see your face clearly at that time, your current expression and the knots on the rope have exposed you!"A trace of malevolence appeared in his eyes as he said coldly, "Are you delusional? Stop making things up! I agreed to help you with the scene out of kindness, and you come up with this nonsense to slander me!"Erin retorted loudly, "I'm going to the police! Besides, the suspect who took the blame has already recanted! I believe the investigators will be interested in the new e
Since the day Erin and Holly had both had a falling out in the bamboo forest, Holly had been ignoring her. Even when Erin was all over the news, Holly didn't reach out to her.Holly's concerned voice sounded from the phone. "Are you okay?"Erin chuckled and replied, "Are you asking about the incident where I was almost assaulted?""Erin, this is not something to laugh about! You have no idea how scared I was when I saw the news! My phone was off, so I didn't see the news. I spent a whole day watching movies at home. It wasn't until my other friends asked me about you that I found out what happened!" Holly said somberly, clearly blaming herself.After listening to her, Erin's eyes turned red. She thought Holly was going to terminate their friendship, but it turned out she was just hiding at home."Thank you for contacting me, Holly. I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me anymore," Erin sighed helplessly.At that moment, Holly was at her own home, sitting with her legs crossed o
Erin chuckled lightly as she said, "Enny would have married and fallen in love with another man sooner or later. "If that man is Paulo, I would be more than willing. Enny will be very happy in her life, and I'm at ease entrusting her to Paulo. And with Paulo being so wealthy, I don't have to worry about anyone coveting Enny's status or her family's power.""You make a good point!" Jill agreed."Jill, if your wedding with Ryder happens around the same time as Enny's, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to help you," Erin said worriedly."No worries, I don't want a wedding ceremony. Ryder and I just need to register our marriage. We've been living together for ten years anyway," Jill said.Erin nodded. "Yeah, that's fine. Weddings are quite tiring anyway, whether you have one or not."After chatting for a while, Jill heard Ryder's footsteps and said quickly, "Let's talk next time. He's coming in." …At 10:00 pm that day, Erin visited Chandler's office at his company.However, h
Ryder turned around with skepticism etched across his face. "What could possibly be wrong? Look at how anxious you are."As she leaned against the doorway, Jill held her phone aloft. There was a challenging glint in her eyes. "If you can remain that calm after hearing this news, I'll play your game with you later.""Really?" Ryder raised an eyebrow, his tone filled with."Forget it if you don't trust me." She pretended to turn away.In a swift motion, Ryder closed the distance between them."I believe you. Now, tell me," Ryder said."Enny and Paulo have settled things," Jill announced with a smirk playing on her lips."Damn! Who told you?" Ryder's curiosity peaked.Jill waved her phone triumphantly. "This is exclusive insider information! Erin personally sent a WhatsApp message, see for yourself!"Ryder snatched the phone, his eyes scanning the message rapidly.The message read, "Enny was two months pregnant with Paulo's child, and the couple had visited Paulo's parents. Whil
Cyril looked at Paulo's departing figure and sighed. "Master is so good-looking. That's why Ms. Frost has been chasing him for so many years… Actually, Master and Ms. Frost really are a perfect match!"Only after Paulo's figure disappeared into the forest did Cyril turn around silently.He was suddenly startled. "Ms. Frost…""Why so guilty? I'm not some demoness who preys on monks!" Enny exclaimed.Cyril laughed. "Ms. Frost, you're really humorous…""I'm asking you, where is your master?" Enny demanded.Cyril hesitated and said, "I don't know where Master is."Enny called his bluff. "Liar!""I really don't know," insisted Cyril."Cyril, your master is going through the most difficult time of his life. As his capable assistant and disciple, you must help him!" insisted Enny.Enny's serious expression made Cyril ask curiously, "What trouble has Master encountered?""Well, he wants to be with me, but he's too embarrassed to ask. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall
Many years later, on the day Enny got her ID card, she drove to Skycloud Mountain overnight.There was a temple on the top of Skycloud Mountain, and she was going to see someone there.By the time she struggled to the mountaintop, it was already 6:00 am the next day.Enny was dressed in black. She wore white hiking shoes with a duck tongue hat and her hair casually tied in a ponytail.Her beautiful, bare face had been a stumbling block on her path to growth.Every year, the number of men she rejected could fill several trucks.That was just among those who had the chance to approach her, while those who didn't could only watch from afar.Enny looked straight ahead, wiping the sweat that had trickled down her cheek.She took a deep breath and walked into the small, secluded temple that was cut off from the world.She finally arrived just in time on the day the new chief abbot took office. In fact, she was there to prevent the new abbot from entering the monastic life!Driven b
Erin had planned to visit Matthew's "Thinkerin City" to buy a violin and visit him.But Matthew's shop was closed, so after waiting for half an hour with Enny, she went to another store to buy one.However, she happened to meet him on the street now.Matthew slowly pushed the wheelchair toward her.He was dressed very casually. He wore a plaid shirt with short sleeves, jeans, and branded sneakers.His simple style was a far cry from his rock star days.He looked somewhat thinner, his smile faint. "Erin, did you and Enny come to buy an instrument?""Yes, we bought Enny a violin. We actually wanted to visit your store." Erin's gaze drifted to Claire, who sat in the wheelchair.Matthew responded, "Sorry, I had to take Claire to get some medicine."Although Claire had been tragically affected by Matthew's obsessive fans years ago, she survived. However, she was left mentally incapacitated and was sometimes lucid for only a few hours.Matthew was loyal, taking it upon himself to c
Chandler's appearance wasn't anything mysterious or an extraordinary entrance.It was filled with the usual beauty and romance of a typical wedding.After reaching Erin, he knelt on one knee with a face full of happiness, opened the ring box with both hands and looked up at her.He asked, "Erin, will you marry me again?"Erin's heart was filled with joy as she asked jokingly, "If I refuse, will you force me into a wedding dress and marry you?"He replied firmly, "Yes!""Since I have no choice, I suppose I must agree," she said with a smile. Erin extended her hand for Chandler to slide the engagement ring onto her finger."You will be Mrs. Frost for the rest of your life! Don't even think about escaping!" Chandler exclaimed."Ah, I won't run. I am willing to be a happy prisoner," Erin said self-deprecatingly.Ryder rolled his eyes, his expression full of sourness.Kylan caught his expression and patted his shoulder without saying a word.As Erin put on the ring, everyone pres
Five minutes later, the doorbell rang again as Enny started doing Erin's makeup."I'll get it, Mom. You stay seated, okay?" Enny said."Fine, Mommy won't move." Erin winked at her. Seconds later, Enny shouted, "Godfather!""Enny! You look so beautiful!" The joy in the man's voice was palpable.Erin stood up and walked to the living room, knowing Sean had arrived.By then, Sean and another man had already entered.They closed the door behind them."Erin, I've brought a makeup artist for you," Sean said with a slight smile.The man beside him bowed politely to her. "Hello, Ms. Lane!""Maya, your male disguise is a total failure. You just slapped on some rough makeup without even wearing a realistic mask. You don't look like a man at all," Erin teased with a laugh.Maya couldn't help but laugh. "Mr. Frost's security measures are too strict. If I had worn a stranger's male mask, I wouldn't have been allowed in, and I would have been detained.""Why go through all the trouble o
Meanwhile, Erin had just gone to open the door of her hotel room.To her surprise, the person at the door was Roman."Rom! It's really you!" Erin exclaimed with joy. Dressed in a tailored white suit, Roman held a bouquet and joked, "Do you need to check my face to make sure I'm not wearing a mask?""Haha! I know it's you! Come in and let's talk. Thank you for the flowers!" Erin took the bouquet he offered and invited him inside.A minute later, Roman was sitting on the couch.He looked out to the underwater world from the floor-to-ceiling windows and remarked, "Enny and Eddie must really love this room.""Yes, the kids could watch it all night. Chandler specifically chose this type of room for the children," Erin explained.As Erin placed the fresh flowers in a vase, Roman inquired, "Where's Chandler?"Erin replied, "You should know what he's busy with, right?"Roman's gaze turned indecipherable, his tone probing as he asked, "You already know?"Erin laughed. "Yes. Did it d
Jill naturally denied it when she heard the question. "We didn't expose anything! Erin just happened to see us. What could we do? Pretend we don't know her? That's not realistic at all!""Did you really say nothing?" Ryder asked doubtfully.Calix was also skeptical as he questioned, "Erin is so sharp, and both of your acting skills are so poor. She must have figured it out."Tina exclaimed defensively, "We really didn't say anything! You two are so annoying! I'm dying of thirst here! Jill, hurry up and open the door. We can talk inside.""Yeah, I'm thirsty too," Jill echoed. She took out her room card, swiped it, and opened the door.The two women were about to close the door when Ryder stopped it with his hand. He asked, "What are you doing, not letting us in?""What are you coming in for? Don't you have your own room? Go away, we're going to take a nap!" Jill said grumpily."Taking a nap at this hour? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
