Chapter 267 Effective Ploy

Author: Simone Hastings
What Erin said before she left gave Simon some comfort. She said that if she hadn't met Chandler, perhaps she could have fallen for Simon. However, no one could know these things for sure.

Although Simon wasn't Erin's type, that didn't discount the fact that he was in a very tough predicament. He was just asking a hypothetical question to salvage what was left of his bruised male ego; Erin thought she shouldn't be too harsh to deny him a comforting answer.

In fact, Simon understood more than anyone that her answer held little to no meaning.

After Erin walked out of Simon's law firm, she got into the Lehman sisters' jeep.

The moment she got into the back seat, she asked Calla, "Did you follow me all night?"

Calla answered, "Yes, Mrs. Frost. We were just following orders."

"Don't call me Mrs. Frost. I'm not even married to Chandler yet."

Right then, Candra replied from the passenger seat, "Please don't make things difficult for us, Mrs. Frost. We were just following orders."

    Erin realized with a jolt that she'd just touched Chandler's face. She quickly retracted her hand and looked down to avoid his gaze. She stammered, "Alright, let's sleep now. I-I saw something on your face just now … So, good night!"With her face flushed, she turned around so that he wouldn't see her face. However, her face continued to heat up rapidly after she turned to the other side. Erin was so red she looked like a cooked lobster. She bit her lips to calm herself down; her scalp was tingling intensely. Her whole body heat up like she was running a fever. Chandler didn't fare much better either."You little minx … You really know how to drive a man crazy. I was really going to let you off, but there's no way I can do that now!" He lowered his head and rained kisses on Erin.Faced with such an unexpected development, Erin had brain fog and was slow to react. She was at Chandler's mercy now. Soon, their bodies became completely entangled.Chandler panted heavily as beads of swe

    An hour later, Erin was led into a quiet room to sign a document. She was blindfolded the entire time. Every time she tried to remove the eye mask, Chandler would stop her. Finally, when a round of enthusiastic applause erupted in the room all around her, Erin reached up to remove the eye mask instinctively. The moment she took it off, she saw Chandler kneeling on one knee beside her. He was holding a sparkling diamond ring that looked massive in his hands.Shocked beyond words, Erin took one step backward. Asa was standing not far away. Erin quickly scanned her surroundings and saw three other people in the room besides her son. They were Quentin, Cherry, and Holly."You … This is …" Erin couldn't form a coherent sentence.With tears in her eyes, Cherry urged excitedly, "Erin, say yes to Chandler!""Put on that diamond right now! You hear me?" Holly was so anxious she had half a mind to go over and put it on Erin herself.Even Quentin joined in. "Dear daughter-in-law, Chandler'

    Because of the little prank she played on Chandler in the car, Erin paid the price dearly in their bedroom for the next three days. She never expected that Chandler would hold a grudge against her and make her beg for his forgiveness in the bedroom for three consecutive nights.Well, she had to reap what she sowed—Chandler didn't find her joke funny. In those three days, Chandler dragged her into their bedroom and made her pay with her body no matter if it was day or night. Tending to her sore body, Erin gave Chandler an ultimatum saying that if he carried on with his beastly ways, she would run away from home and never return. The threat was very effective and put a temporary end to Chandler's voracious appetite in the bedroom. He was deeply traumatized—in the seven years Erin was gone, she'd held out and not contacted him at all throughout the six years she was free and perfectly able to get in touch with him. He didn't want her to pull off something like that again.After much

    Erin took out her phone and glanced at the screen. She frowned upon seeing the caller ID that read "Awesomest Husband." She decided that she needed to set a password for her phone in the future. Chandler and Asa were going to ruin her phone if they kept this up. Reluctantly, she answered the call impatiently, "What is it?"Within one hour, Chandler had already called her five times! Wasn't he supposed to be the cool and unbothered CEO?Chandler sounded a little aggrieved as he replied, "Do you hate hearing my voice so much, Wifey?"Hearing him say that in a pitiful tone with his deep voice, Erin shuddered and feel herself going soft. She quickly forced herself to regain her professional attitude for the upcoming discussion."Stop it, Chandler. I'm five minutes already because I was caught in a traffic jam. Do you have something important to say? If you do, say it now!"Hearing his wife express her disdain for him, Chandler couldn't help but curse in Feirmondian, feeling somewhat

    About an hour later, Erin drove Ryder to Alan's private hospital. This hospital was indeed the top choice for affluent people.Right after Erin parked her car, Ryder turned to her and instructed, "When we enter the ward later, speak as little as possible. If my dad asks you anything, just answer according to what I taught you, capisce?"Taking in his serious expression, Erin understood that Ryder attached great importance to getting the inheritance. Although she didn't know how much money was involved, that didn't really matter because all she had to do was help him secure the money. She could only enjoy true peace after repaying this debt of gratitude.Erin nodded affirmatively to show that she understood what he said. With that, Ryder got off the vehicle, and Erin followed him. While it wasn't right to lie to an elderly person suffering from cancer, Erin tried her best to convince herself that there was nothing wrong with Ryder doing this to secure his inheritance since he was the

    Erin smiled as she accepted the lilies from Asa. She bent down and kissed Asa on the cheek. "Thank you. The lilies are beautiful. I love them!"Alana walked over with an apologetic smile. "Hi, Erin. I'm so sorry for not congratulating you on your marriage to Chandler yet. I wish you both a happy marriage. May you have a blessed union!"The next moment, her smile disappeared, and she said with a pained expression, "Chandler told me what happened to you. You've really suffered a lot all these years."Erin slowly stood up. Seeing Alana weeping tears for her, Erin couldn't help but feel that something was off."Thank you. I hope we can get along well in the future too," Erin said with an earnest smile.Alana walked toward Erin and affectionately linked arms with her. "Come inside with me. We haven't seen each other for so many years; we should have a good chat. I've bought you many presents."Chandler felt relieved upon seeing Erin and Alana getting along well. He looked at their ret

    Before they called it a day, Erin explained everything from A to Z about her pretending to be Ryder's fiancée at the hospital.Holding her in his arms, Chandler's heart finally felt assured. However, he raised an eyebrow and warned, "Next time, don't agree to such requests from other men! You have a husband now. If there's anything like this in the future, let me handle it."Erin nodded sleepily. "Understood, boss. Can I sleep now?""Yes, you can," Chandler answered with a bossy demeanor. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Right, Alana said she wants to move back to the villa in a few days. You don't object to it, do you?"Erin had a foreboding feeling in her heart, but she thought she was overthinking things. She replied calmly, "Sure. If that's what she wants, I have no objections."Despite her words, her body turned to the other side so that she was no longer facing Chandler. Seeing this, Chandler pressed himself against her back and put an arm around her waist.He

    When it was close to 8 pm, Chandler drove back to pick Erin up for the jewelry charity dinner. As he neared the villa, he received the text message Erin sent to him: "Hubby, my editor asked to meet me to talk about the publishing of my comic. I'll go to the banquet myself. I've got the address from Mr. Morn. See you there at night!"Suppressing his emotions, Chandler went to the charity dinner alone gloomily.During the day, Erin had sent him a text message begging him to not publicly announce their marriage to others. An occasion such as the one they were attending wasn't suitable for disclosing their private matters.At that time, Chandler was quite angry about her request, but he wasn't willing to back down due to his ego. He even said to Erin teasingly that even if she wanted to make it public, he wouldn't want it. In the end, they both agreed that they would pretend to be familiar acquaintances at the banquet.…The banquet was held at a private castle, and the owner of the

    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. "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?
