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
