“Chandler, let go of me. My hand hurts!”

No matter how much Erin shouted, Chandler refused to let go of her. He dragged her until they reached a specially designed door at the end of the corridor. Stopping in front of it, he entered the password, and the door opened. Right after the door opened, he pulled Erin into the room and slammed it shut before pressing her against it.

His tone was cold as he spoke. “Tell me, why are you here?”

Erin answered honestly, “I came with my friend. She’s attending the banquet on behalf of her parents.”

Upon hearing her answer, Chandler frowned. “Then what's with your dress?” He stared at her clothes with a conflicted expression, and his eyes were piercingly cold.

Erin said, “Someone accidentally spilled red wine on me earlier, and I spent a lot of time cleaning it…”

After hearing her explanation, the anger in his black eyes slowly dissipated, but a flame ignited in his heart. Looking down at her delicate and pretty lips, he remembered when he’d ki

    “It’s me.” Chandler appeared in the room suddenly.Chandler had thought Sean would run into Erin if he returned to his room to change. As expected, it really did happen!Surprised, Sean stared at Chandler. He didn’t expect Erin to know Chandler. He pretended to remain calm and casually asked with a smile, “Chandler, is she your friend?”Elegant and dignified, Chandler strode in and glanced at Erin, who was rooted to the ground. Then he approached her and took her hand. “She’s not my friend. She’s my woman.”His voice was casual, yet it hit Erin and Sean hard.Erin looked up at Chandler, not understanding the meaning behind his words.Sean lowered his gaze. A moment later, his stiff hands relaxed, and he continued to do his tie leisurely. Then, he answered in a soft voice, “Oh.”“I’ll take her out first and come find you later.” Chandler held Erin's waist and walked out of the bedroom.As soon as they left, Sean, who had been pretending to be calm, turned pale.

    Cherry cried on the phone for half an hour. Erin had no choice but to promise her that she would find a solution.Holding her phone tightly, she got out of the taxi. She felt as if she’d been drained of all her blood.Grayson, who had hit someone and caused the victim’s death, was actually Erin’s stepfather, Grayson Lawrence.

    Erin didn’t expect that Caleb, who was cold and biased against her, would ask such a question.She was unsure of the meaning behind his question, but regardless, she was not so self-obsessed as to believe that Caleb was interested in her.As someone who was about to divorce, she was no different from someone who was single.“No, I don’t,” she answered.Caleb’s hand around the steering wheel tightened slightly. He said nothing more, but his lips curled into a slight smile.Erin glanced at him sideways. Since he wasn't speaking, she remained quiet too.The two remained silent all the way until they arrived at the company’s building.After they got out of the car in the underground parking lot of the building, Erin saw Chandler, who’d just gotten out of his car. He stared at her with his dark and sinister eyes.At the moment Caleb got out of the car, Chandler turned and walked toward his private elevator.Erin felt her heart clench with fear. Chandler seemed like he wanted to kil

    Chandler patiently watched the video to the end. Then he picked up the phone and returned it to Erin. “Although the angle is a bit off, you got everything important. If you’re so confident, go ahead and post it online.”Erin trembled with anger. A thousand thoughts ran through her mind. She had presented such solid evidence, yet he wasn't even afraid.“You’re the president of Frost Corporation. Aren’t you afraid that such a scandal will affect the company's public image?" She couldn't help but remind him of the public impact of workplace harassment.”In the video, you didn’t ask for help. Moreover, it was taken secretly. It’s not an exaggeration to say that you had ulterior motives. Who will believe your side of the story when it's exposed? Once the truth comes out, you’ll be the one who won’t be able to survive in this city. Why should I be afraid?”Erin’s courage was crushed in an instant.Her face turned pale. Never did she expect that the video she thought would give her an ad

    She remembered that the champion would become the design assistant to the director. Erin looked at Caleb's cool yet rather gentle dark eyes. The sincerity in them made her heart skip a beat, and she blushed uncontrollably. She tried hard to collect herself and said warmly, "Mr. Grant, thank you. I'll try my best in the competition!"Erin didn't know what else to say. She was already forced to become Chandler's secret lover even before she got divorced. How could she drag Caleb into this?Caleb looked a little disappointed when he heard what Erin said. He smiled to cover up his true emotions. "You don't have to give me an answer now. Go home and think it over."Erin nodded rather awkwardly. "I'll leave then, Mr. Grant.""Okay."The moment she opened the door, Erin almost crashed into Janette standing near it. Without any expressions on her face, Janette said curtly, "Watch where you're going. How could you come up with a good design if you're so careless!""I'm sorry, Ms. Will

    "Erin, why the hell are you flying off the handle? I'm trying to discuss this with you. My mom went to the office today and stayed there for three hours. How could I work in such conditions? She was there to bug me about having children, complaining of how bored she was staying home or playing poker all day. Recently she's envious of the old couple next door. She said she also wanted grandchildren, and she would care for them. She even made a compromise! She said that it's fine if you prefer your job, but you must have a child first!" Ian said, as if that was the most logical thing in the entire world.What he said instantly struck Erin dumb with fury. She stood before him, looking at the man who graduated college with her, unable to understand how he became this way. He was becoming more and more like a stranger! Ever since he started his tech company, he was so used to being a leader in the office that even at home, he was self-centered and selfish. It caused her a lot of grief.

    Erin noticed Sean with a husky on a leash 30 feet away from her. She continued walking ahead, pretending she didn't see him. When she was close to him, Sean suddenly blocked her way. Even the husky joined in. "Move!" At that moment, Erin was like a provoked panther on edge. Her eyes were filled with rage.Sean, who was in a casual outfit, said condescendingly, "From what I can see, the coat on you definitely isn't Chandler's. So, whose is it?"Erin huffed, "Why should I tell you?"Sean raised his eyebrow and snickered, saying, "Of course, you're obliged to tell me. As Chandler's best friend, if his woman is having an affair behind his back, I'll have to let him know about it."At the thought of Chandler's devilishly handsome face, Erin was a little afraid. She was worried that Sean would twist the facts, so she explained grimly, "It's not what you think. I didn't betray him.""I can't accept such a sketchy explanation. You still haven't told me the real reason." Sean's eyes gl

    There was a hint of lust in the air. Erin coughed awkwardly and said, "My god, you really have no filter. I'm wearing the clothes. I won't take the tag off; I'll return them to you! Give me your address, and I'll courier it to you."Sean realized his seduction was futile, and he regained a little clarity. He cleared his throat and said, "Stop teasing me. Why would I want the things that I have given away? It's just a few thousand dollars. Are you trying to embarrass me by sending it back?"Erin insisted. "I'm different from the other women! I can't accept the clothes. I will return it to you. Stop with the nonsense, and just give me your address!"Sean furrowed his brow at her insistence, but suddenly he was once again delighted after giving it some thought. He took his phone out of his pocket, inserted his passcode, and opened his contacts. He took his phone over to her. "Alright, I'll contact you later on. Let's exchange contacts."Erin subconsciously reached for her phone when s

    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.

    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.

    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?
