When Matthew asked that question, Erin smirked. Only someone of significant status or someone who was a gangster would ask that kind of question.The implied meaning was more or less something along the lines of, "I'm powerful! I'm someone important! How can you not know who I am … "Erin played along and glanced at him, treating it as a joke."I beg your pardon. Would you mind telling me which heavenly being you might be, kind sir?" Erin asked nonsensically.Matthew almost stumbled upon hearing that and wondered which planet this eccentric lady came from. Looking at this woman who was so beautiful that she seemed otherworldly, Matthew assumed that she would be somewhat vain and must have secretly thought of becoming a celebrity. He walked over to her and sat down not far away. Then, he took out his exquisite silver business card holder from his suit pocket and pulled out a card, placing it on the coffee table in front of the sofa."This is my business card. I believe you must hav
Since Erin was having difficulty breathing with her neck being squeezed, she couldn't say anything even if she wanted to!At this moment, Erin truly regretted playing with fire. She cursed herself in her mind for being so reckless. Matthew wasn't just a friend, he was Erin's greatest friend and her fiercest protector, which seemed quite ironic right now, considering who he was strangling.Erin almost got choked to death for badmouthing herself. She'd been asking for trouble by constantly provoking Matthew with her words.Matthew's furious roar caught Warren's attention, and Milly's bedroom door swung open. Milly stood at the doorway, screaming her head off in fright. She had no idea what could have happened in the living room that led to such a scene.Warren pushed aside the terrified Milly and shouted loudly, "Matthew, let go of her immediately!"His timely shout brought some rationality back to Matthew, who was consumed by anger. His eyes finally focused, and his vision became c
Erin thought she must have done something really bad in her past life, and the universe was repaying her in the form of this one man sent to torture her—Ian.Little did she expect her ex-husband would hit her when she was just casually making her way through an intersection. Right then, Erin struggled to suppress her temper. She didn't want to turn into a shrew cursing in the street and causing a scene. She moved her knee, grimacing in pain, and wanted to try standing up on her own. Alas, she failed to do so."Don't move! I'll call an ambulance right away!" Ian's face looked somber. It would be an understatement to say that he was surprised when he saw that it was Erin. He'd somehow run into her again.Erin glanced at Ian and saw him making a phone call. Soon, he was giving the hospital the details of the accident over the phone. She entrusted him with the task. He was the one who ran into her, after all. So, he should take responsibility for her current condition. Even if they didn
Cherry and Yvette kept Alana and Chandler's fake marriage a secret from Ian. This was Chandler's initial request to Cherry, Yvette, and Steven. Although Chandler treated them as family, none of them dared to disregard or take his words lightly.Ian and Chandler's relationship had never improved over the years. Hence, as soon as Ian heard Chandler's concern for Erin, he couldn't sit still and couldn't hold back from making sarcastic remarks.Moreover, Ian happened to be interested in Erin as well. Although he hadn't started actively pursuing her, he cherished their chance encounter that day. Now that he heard that the man he disliked the most was involved, the tension between them began to rise."So, you're the one who bumped into Pamela, huh? You change cars as frequently as you change lovers over the years, but your driving skills haven't improved one bit." Chandler's words were cold and disdainful, tinged with a hint of scorn.Ian didn't get angry at Chandler's comment either. He
Within an hour, Chandler arrived at the hospital and parked his car in the hospital parking lot.Five minutes before he arrived, Paulo had just gone off with his secretary, Jenny. Erin had sent him off to buy dinner, specifically requesting food from a restaurant that was far away from the hospital. She purposely did that to prevent Chandler from running into Paulo.Thinking back to what Chandler said at the office, Erin felt it was best to minimize his interactions with Paulo. She thought that since Paulo wouldn't be staying here for long anyway, she would try her best to keep them from running into each other for the time being.Erin felt that she might be overthinking things, but Paulo seemed to be a bit different nowadays. Nevertheless, she couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed. When she was in the Garden of Eden, Paulo and her had a really good relationship; they were like family and the best of friends. But now, the way Paulo looked at her was gradually becoming a little
Chandler's words stunned Erin, and she felt her head throbbing.Although she had some concerns, she hesitantly asked, "Mr. Frost, why do you ask?""I see how you treat Asa like a mother treats a child. I guess you either really like children or you have your own child." Chandler stared unwaveringly at Erin, not wanting to miss any change of expression on her face.Although Erin had anticipated being asked such questions before, when she was actually confronted with it in real life, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous.She forced a casual smile and said, "You have sharp eyes, Mr. Frost ... I-I had a child indeed."Chandler's gaze darkened, and he calmly asked, "Where is your child now?"Erin lowered her gaze, hiding a trace of melancholy in her eyes. The smile on her lips gradually turned bitter. "The child was taken away by his father. We had a child out of wedlock, but his family didn't approve of our marriage."Chandler remained silent, but the questioning in his eyes mad
Paulo's footsteps came to an immediate halt. He didn't turn around, but his expression stiffened, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes. He uttered frigidly, "I have nothing to tell you."After he said that, he walked away without any intention of stopping. Chandler looked at the departing figure with a sense of helplessness. It seemed impossible to obtain any information about her from Paulo. Even Roman seemed unlikely to give him answers.But the more they hid and remained mysterious, the greater Chandler's doubts grew.The story he heard from her in the hospital made him inevitably think of Erin and what happened between her and him. What Pamela had said sounded so similar to their circumstances.Just as Chandler was about to open the car door and get into his car, he suddenly received a call from Kyle.The moment the call connected, Kyle anxiously said, "Mr. Frost, Asa has been taken away!"He didn't even dare to use the word "kidnapped".Upon hearing this, Chandler fe
Chandler couldn't bear to see the butler who had served the Frost family for nearly half his life throwing himself on the ground like that. He helped Trent up and suppressed his emotions as he said, "Trent, let's not dwell on that for now. If Rina and Yandell had indeed planned something in advance, they would have acted on it some other day anyway and not necessarily tonight."Trent felt that anything he said would be of no help. No matter what, Asa left with his permission, and he couldn't shirk this responsibility. Knowing Chandler's temper, Trent understood that some words didn't need to be repeated—he knew when to keep his mouth shut. He'd silently made up his mind to pay for this incident with his life if Asa wasn't found.Chandler couldn't guess what Trent was thinking at the moment, nor did he have the time to do so. He glanced at Hans and said, "Hans, come with me to the study."With that, Hans immediately delegated the task of questioning other servants to the detectives.
