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 was stunned upon hearing that. When she regained her senses, she stammered, "But why? Why would your friend make such a request? I don't even know him!"Paulo had expected Erin to reach that way. With a mournful expression, he walked over and sat beside her. He casually picked up the exclusive trauma ointment developed by the Garden of Eden. He couldn't quite meet her eyes as he said, "We should reapply the ointment on your face. Fortunately, that bitch, Yvette, showed some mercy, so you only sustained superficial scratches on your face. If you apply this ointment continuously for five days, the scars on your face will disappear."Erin took his evasive gaze silently. She'd known Paulo for a long time. If it weren't because he genuinely believed in his friend's abilities, he wouldn't be in such a dilemma right now. While Erin felt that the man was quite absurd to propose something like that, she could imagine that if he was some kind of eccentric genius, making such a bizarre r
Paulo had goosebumps, and he had the urge to cuss out loud. He never expected that Old Smoker would really be an old man! Paulo felt extremely irritated upon visualizing that Erin would be forced to be with an old guy for a week.In a rather displeased tone, he said, "I told her about your request, and she agreed."Old Smoker chuckled. "Is that so? She's really desperate to save the child, then. I want to hear her confirm her acceptance in person."Paulo handed the phone to Erin in annoyance.Erin immediately placed the phone over her ear, trying hard to suppress her repulsion and nervousness. "Hello, I'm Pamela. I hope you can really rescue my son.""I'm sorry, but I need to correct your statement. I'm only responsible for finding your son. Saving him would be up to you guys. If any accidents happen during the rescue, I won't take any responsibility. However, you must fulfill your promise, unless I die or you die," Old Smoker said in a matter-of-fact tone as if discussing an ordi
After Roman informed Chandler about Asa's location, ten hours had gone by. Erin, Paulo, and Roman remained in the hospital.Even though all three of them wanted to join the operation to rescue Asa, they had no experience in dealing with dangerous criminals. Without professional training, they would still risk their lives even if they were fully armed. Before rescuing Asa, they might become casualties themselves.Erin, in particular, was even more vulnerable. If she were captured by the criminals as a hostage, it would only make the situation worse. Therefore, the task of rescuing Asa could only be entrusted to the special forces and police.Just when Erin was getting impatient and about to get up and walk around, Roman finally received a call from Kyle while he remained seated on the sofa.Kyle excitedly told Roman that the police officers in Seaside City, along with the special forces sent by Andrew, had successfully rescued Asa and the others. Asa was unharmed, but he was frighte
Louis' words shocked Erin to no end. She was utterly stunned and felt as if the world had come to a stop!Seeing the disbelief and panic in her eyes, Louis took the initiative to explain, "Ms. Lane, you must be curious how I was able to recognize you at a glance. Honestly speaking, with your current appearance, I shouldn't have been able to recognize you at all. But I remember your voice. It has always stayed in my heart. Do you know why people call me Aunder's God of Gambling? It's because of my otherworldly hearing. Once I hear a voice, I'll never forget it. Even if two voices are similar or if someone is professionally imitating another voice, they cannot deceive my ears. So, when you spoke for the second time, I was certain of your identity."Erin stared at those extremely mysterious yet sincere blue eyes for a long time. It was long enough for her to sense Louis' emotions gradually intensify. His eyes held a sense of longing after the initial surprise of running into someone aft
