Chandler spent the whole night in his study while Jazzlyn stayed in an empty room on the first night of her marriage.At daybreak, Chandler left the Frost residence.When Chandler's car left, Jazzlyn was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in her room on the third floor, watching her husband leave. Her beautiful face looked tired as she had not slept a wink the night before."How could you do this to me, Chandler?" Jazzlyn looked aggrieved and unwilling to accept defeat. Tears instantly streamed down her face. Her fingers that were placed on the gold curtains slowly curled into a fist.At that moment, Kyle was driving while Chandler was sitting at the back. Kyle then said to Chandler, "Mr. Frost, we can depart any time after we get to the airport.""Alright." Chandler stared blankly at his phone while deep in thought. He knew that Erin was still asleep at that time.Since he had already made up his mind, he did not hesitate anymore. He quickly sent a text to her, "Er
Erin and Saber happened to walk by when Sean opened the bathroom door.Looking behind him, Erin saw Alana in the bathroom. Alan walked out and said while looking a little awkward, "I had something I wanted to ask Sean …"Her response instantly made it even more awkward for the other three of them.Saber knew very well that Alana was talking to Sean about Chandler's business, but as her boyfriend, it was inevitable for him to feel a little uncomfortable when he saw that. He said, "Alana, I think I forgot to bring sunscreen. Help me look for it in my luggage."Saber left upon saying that. Alana laughed and said to Erin, "I'll be right back. Let's have a proper chat later!"Sean and Erin were then left standing in the same place. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, "Let's go and have the creamy spinach soup I made for you early this morning today. You're a pregnant lady, and if your man is not around, you have to take good care of yourself.""You know how to make soup?"
After Erin left the oceanfront villa, two bodyguards dressed in casual clothes followed behind her. She turned to say to them, "Both of you don't have to follow me. I want to go on a walk on my own."The bodyguards were a little troubled. One of them said, "Miss Lane, before Mr. Frost left, he said you will need at least two bodyguards with you if you were to go out on your own.""It's fine. It's basically all tourists here. Don't be so nervous." Erin turned and left upon saying that.Both the bodyguards were torn. They did not dare to press on and continue to follow her, but they felt worried about not doing so. As bodyguards, they did not dare to disobey the order that Chandler had given himself.However, Erin had a very special status. It was not too much to even say that she was their boss.Seeing that Erin had gone far, one of the bodyguards did not hesitate anymore, he immediately called Hans to ask for his instructions.Hans was picking ingredients with the chef at that mo
Chandler forced himself to be cheerful when facing Cherry. He said with a smile, "Erin accidentally dropped her phone into the pool, so her phone is broken and can't be used for now. I'll buy her a new one soon. Don't worry."Only then did Cherry feel reassured and said, "So, that's what happened. I feel at ease now. Where are you guys now? Is Erin with you?"Her words made Chandler frown a little, then he continued to lie, saying, "We're back in the city. Erin's sleeping in the bedroom. I'm having a video conference."Hearing that he was having a conference, Cherry immediately said, "Gosh, I'm sorry to interrupt your meeting! I'm fine. I'll talk to you guys later. Chandler, thank you for taking such meticulous care of Erin. She was blessed to have met you."Chandler felt guilty when he heard that, but he could not let it show. He could only continue exchanging pleasantries with a stiff face.Soon, the call ended. This was the first time Chandler's palms got sweaty when talking to
Jazzlyn was so happy she could cry when Chandler said that. However, she pretended to be composed and didn't dare show it. If she seemed too eager, she would look like some depraved nymphomaniac.Hence, Jazzlyn lowered her eyes and said shyly, "I didn't mean that—"Feeling awkward, Gaston pretended to clear his throat. Since his grandson was willing to make up for the uneventful wedding night with his new bride, he thought he should leave and give the young ones some private space.He suddenly looked at Kyle and said, "Could you please escort me back, Kyle? I'm feeling a little under the weather, I think I'd better head back now.""Grandpa—" Jazzlyn called out, making a show of feeling reluctant about Gaston's departure.Gaston glanced at her and stated, "Jazzlyn, you should stay tonight. There's no need to send me off."After Kyle and Gaston left, Chandler dismissed the butler and maids in the living room.As Chandler, a man so perfect he could pass off as an ethereal deity, wa
Chandler's question made the four hackers look at each other. Then, they all nodded unanimously.However, the leader of the hackers added, "But all those are just our speculations so far. What if we're all wrong? No one can say for sure.""Focus all investigations on Jack and Tessa. I'll keep in touch with Osborn on my end," Chandler instructed and closed the computer screen. He needed some time to cool off.If it was really Tessa who instructed Jack to do everything, the two long years Jack spent working for him while secretly being undercover was done so well it was terrifying. Chandler couldn't even imagine its full implication.He hesitated as he looked at his phone absentmindedly. It was the first time he'd ever felt so panicked and helpless in his life. The overwhelming feeling of exhaustion made his nerves tense, and a strong sense of suffocation hit him. He felt like he was going mad!No matter how much he wanted to sleep, his exasperation and annoyance made it impossible
The woman's voice that came out of nowhere startled Erin greatly. She anxiously looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.Tessa lazily sat in a chair with a pair of black headphones over her ears. She chuckled and said, "Take a close look at the deer head hanging on the wall. The deer's eyes are actually surveillance cameras."Her hint immediately drew Erin's attention to the deer head. She stood up and took a few steps forward, carefully staring at the eyes of the deer head. Indeed, there were cameras as the female voice had said."Who the hell are you? Why did you lock me up here? This is kidnapping and illegal imprisonment!" Erin angrily shouted at the eyes of the deer head.Tessa burst into raucous laughter. She said amusedly, "You're a prisoner at my mercy, so whether you live or die is completely up to me. Are you sure you want to lecture me about legalities under such a circumstance?"Hearing how smug she sounded, Erin took a deep breath to calm herself down. S
Tessa's hostile way of asking such a derogatory question made Erin feel repulsed. She couldn't understand how her relationship with Chandler had anything to do with Tessa."Who are you to Chandler?" Erin maintained a nonchalant expression. Tessa mentioning Chandler for a second time didn't sit well with Erin. Her dislike for the woman before her deepened when she thought of the fact that Tessa was the one who caused her misery by capturing and imprisoning her.Although Tessa could be considered pretty, she had a scar that marred the middle of her forehead, making her appear somewhat savage and terrifying. At the same time, it elicited a sense of pity for her as well.Tessa didn't bother to conceal anything as a slight smirk appeared on her lips. "I'm not anyone significant to him. I just can't stand seeing him happy! Over the years, he casually sought out women, but each time, he swiftly got rid of them without any lingering attachments by using money to send them away. Why did he
