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.
At 3 pm the next day, Erin had just finished eating a box of fruit salad in the ward of Liberty General Hospital when Paulo went to the hospital director's office. Roman just learned of Erin's accident and was already on his way back to the city. At the moment, he was on a plane after taking leave from the film crew.In the hospital ward, Erin decided to send a WeChat message to Holly to chat for a while since there was nothing else to do. Just as she lowered her head, a young woman who was dressed stylishly suddenly entered her ward. There seemed to be another woman standing at the door.Before Erin could see who was outside, the ward door had already been closed. When she turned her gaze toward the woman who entered the ward, she'd already gotten near to Erin. Without warning, she lifted her hand and slapped Erin hard!Erin was stunned and couldn't react. She felt a burning pain on her cheek, and instinctively reached a hand to touch it, only to see blood on her fingers.The woma
Ian's presence clearly made Flora nervous. She instinctively turned to glance at the door.Seeing the expression on her face, Ian immediately walked to the ward door. Through the square glass panel, he saw the two women entangled in a fierce fight. He pushed the door open and walked in right away with Flora following closely behind.Ian quickly placed the soup he brought on a nearby surface. With swift strides, he walked over with a darkened face. He harshly grabbed Yvette by her hair from behind, intending to pull her aside."Let her go, Yvette! Or so help me!" His voice carried a strong threat, just like his hand that showed no mercy as he yanked his wife away.Upon feeling the pain on her scalp, Yvette let go of Erin's hair instinctively.Even though Erin tried to protect herself from Yvette's attack, she still saw several hundred strands of hair scattered on the ground after Yvette released her death grip on her hair. Ian had an icy gaze upon witnessing this scene. The desire
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
