Asa's appearance made Erin feel extremely awkward. Regaining her senses, she pushed Paulo away.Erin walked past Paulo to go to Asa, crouching to ask, "Asa, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water."Asa's gaze looked like a grown-up at that moment, and he asked calmly, "Miss Pamela, is this man your boyfriend?"As soon as he asked that, Paulo immediately came to him, bending over to say with a little smugness, "How smart of you. She's my girlfriend. Do you have an opinion about that?"Erin got angry. "What nonsense are you talking about? How can you say that to my son—I mean, my student?" She was so anxious she almost let it slip. "Asa, don't believe this man. He's just joking with you."Asa looked at Paulo calmly, saying with a faint disdain, "Sir, do you feel a great sense of accomplishment from joking with me?"Paulo straightened his back with a mocking gaze and said "Wow, kid, do you know what a sense of accomplishment means?""Of course, I do, but I'm not going to t
At 8 pm on Sunday, Chandler got out of his Maybach, feeling a little emotional as he looked at the old neighborhood.The hacker team of four had already disbanded two years ago. All four of them had "turned over a new leaf" and had started their families back in their hometown with the hefty pension given by Chandler.Chandler had never done a background check on them this whole time, giving the four loyal hackers full privacy.Three of them were no longer in contact with Chandler, and only the leader at that time was still keeping in touch with him.The leader revealed his details on his own to Chandler, and it turned out that he was a local and his name was Pax Lester. After he returned to his hometown, he opened up his own private investigation firm. He usually helped the residents in the neighborhood find lost pets and some rich married people find evidence of their spouses' having affairs. His life was very fulfilling and ordinary.Probably none of the residents in this old c
At 10 am on Monday, Erin arrived at a fashion magazine's office in Dunwich Garden. This was a women's magazine and its name was very interesting—Airing, which sounded similar to Erin. Holly named it after Erin to honor her.Erin came to Airing that day for an interview. She had submitted her comics to the magazine previously. That was because Airing had published a supplement last month, adding emotional stories, comics, and some promotional products that were targeting women into it.Not long after Erin entered the reception area for the magazine, Holly came out of her office and whispered something to her secretary. When Holly returned to her office again, she saw Erin waiting in the reception area from the corner of her eye, so she immediately asked her secretary. Once her secretary informed her, she came straight to Erin.Erin had been watching Holly's movements through the glass door, so she was already incredibly excited and was forcing herself to hold her tears back.At th
Yvette almost lost her footing as she was wearing heels when Flora supported her. Flora cursed, "Who the hell are you? How dare you push Yvette!"Yvette had already taken off her sunglasses at that point, and anger gleamed in her eyes. "It's you! Don't be a busybody, Pamela! Just be an art teacher! This is a grudge between Holly and me. It's none of your business!"Holly was about to ask Erin to stay out of it, but Erin stood in front of her, sneering. "So what if I've made this my business? Are you going to hit me? Do it if you have the guts!"Erin was very disappointed and angry. She never expected her sister to be so ill-tempered. She immediately hit someone without saying anything at all, and the person she hit was Erin's best friend! Erin absolutely would not allow that, even if Yvette was her sister!"Pamela, what's your relationship with Holly? Does she deserve for you to stand up for her like that?" Yvette wanted to hit her, but she saw that the car of the paparazzi who fol
Upon hearing Erin's words, Chandler frowned a little as he stood in place, giving it a thought for a while. Then, he walked over to the couch, looking at her from the corner of his eye, and said, "Why don't we have a seat and talk about it, Miss Pamela."Erin took a deep breath and said, "Alright."She walked over to the couch as well. Not long after, both of them were seated.Chandler leaned against the back of the leather couch, crossing his long, handsome legs. His gaze was calm as he asked, "Why are you so sure I'll listen to Yvette and fire you?"Erin deflected the question by saying, "Yvette said I'm prone to violence, so it's too dangerous for me to be around Asa.""Do you think you're prone to violence?" Chandler asked calmly.Erin thought about it seriously, reflecting on her past. About two minutes later, she said with certainty, "I don't think I'm prone to violence. If Yvette didn't truly infuriate me, I never would have slapped her."Upon hearing that, Chandler said
When Yvonne's cries filled Chandler's office, he turned around to look at her. He could not help but find it funny when he saw that it was really her. Yvette came as soon as Pamela left. As expected, she had come to complain about Pamela.However, Pamela seemed to be smarter as she knew to steal a march on Yvette.At that moment, Yvette entered Chandler's office with an "injury" on her face."Chandler, I was slapped by Asa's teacher, Pamela, today! She's Asa's teacher, so I can only come to you about this …" Yvette did not bring Flora along with her. After all, not everybody could enter Chandler's office unannounced. She was Erin's sister and Asa was close with her, so if Yvette came to look for Chandler in the past two years, she could come upstairs straight away without him being notified beforehand.Chandler walked toward the couch with the cigarette between his fingers. Yvette had taken a seat on the couch before he did.She had deliberately gotten the makeup artist, Michell
After Erin left the Frost building, she went to a restaurant nearby for some spaghetti.Just when she was done and about to foot the bill, she saw a woman entering, but not long after, the woman bent over with a grimace.Erin immediately went up to check on her. She knew this woman. She was one of her colleagues back then—Milly.The owner of the restaurant was hesitating if he should help when he saw Milly having an emergency. Seeing that Erin had already gone up to help her, the owner signaled the waiter not to get involved."Are you not feeling well, miss?" Erin had already helped Milly to a seat.Milly was in so much pain that she bit her lips, her face got a little paler, and she broke out in cold sweats on her forehead.Seeing that things did not seem too good from the way she looked, the owner of the restaurant could not help but walk up and said to Erin, "Miss, she looks like she's in pain, so hurry up and take her to the hospital! What if it's appendicitis?"Milly was st
The young man was Steven's secretary, and his name was Shawn Coleman. He didn't spare Tracy a glance. Instead, he just lowered his gaze and said, "Mr. Lane will fly over to meet a client in the evening. There was a problem with the last order, so Mr. Lane has to talk to the client face to face this time to smooth things over. He needs to do so to avoid losing this client. I hope you understand, Mrs. Lane.""Understand, you say? Hmph! I understand him enough! He's fooling around behind my back with the new female employee, isn't he? Does he think I'm clueless? That female employee is just younger than me and not nearly as attractive as I am. His taste is getting worse!"Although Tracy wore sunglasses that obscured her eyes, Erin, who sat opposite her, could fully sense her sarcasm and disdain. Erin pretended to lower her head and text on her phone but she was actually paying close attention to their conversation. In just a few short sentences, she learned that her father had another n
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
