"Alana, you've misunderstood me!" Erin became a little anxious. Alana had just moved back to the villa, and if Erin wasn't careful in handling their relationship, Chandler would be the one to suffer later on.Alana lowered her gaze and refused to look at Erin anymore. She said coldly, "Go. Pretend I didn't bring this up at all and forget about it."Seeing that Alana wasn't keen on discussing the matter further, Erin left helplessly.Not long after she left, Alana closed the door. She immediately took out her phone and called a news publisher.As soon as the call connected, she instructed, "Do what I told you to do last time! Publish a Twitter post on the main official account and drive up the hype!"…Five minutes later, Erin was back in her bedroom. There was a rectangular white wooden table in the room. This was where she would draft her comics. She'd reached an agreement with her editor that this comic that focused on school life would be completed within two months. It woul
Erin immediately thought of one person—Ryder! After they parted ways at the hospital, Erin was chagrined to find that she forgot to exchange numbers with him. Just as Erin was about to call Paulo to ask for Ryder's contact number, Paulo appeared at the villa. Chandler had instructed that certain individuals could be allowed entry without any form of questioning. Paulo happened to be one of them.When Paulo saw Erin standing among the flowers in front of the villa, his expression became gloomy, and he approached her in a way that suggested that he was ready to confront her. "How dare you, Erin! I thought we were friends! Aren't we best buddies? How could you not tell that you got married to Chandler? Are you out of your mind?"He'd just gotten off the plane two and a half hours ago. Originally, he intended to go and find Erin at Roman's villa, but Jenny started screaming like a banshee in the car upon seeing a trending topic on Twitter. Someone had just exposed that Erin scammed Cha
Ryder's selfless words at such a critical time left Erin at a loss for words to express her gratitude.However, she didn't blindly accept his kindness and willingness to help. She said with worry, "Mr. White, are you sure about this? It could be very dangerous—""I wasn't born yesterday, Erin. Of course, I understand the dangers involved. Rest assured, if I lose my life, it's my own responsibility!" His certainty prompted Paulo to say, "Well said, Ryder. I can't wait to see for myself how you really look."Ryder responded with a sigh, "Is that what you should be focusing on? I'll hang up now. Contact me if there's any new information."Erin was crying so hard she was trembling. "Thank you, Ryder and Paulo … Thank you...""Erin, stop thanking me! If I were kidnapped, you would come to my rescue too, right?" Paulo suddenly asked.With a resolute expression, Erin replied, "Of course! I would definitely come to save you, no matter how dangerous it is."Paulo felt touched as a trac
The six of them and the three drug enforcement officers set off in four separate cars. They drove for a full nine hours before reaching Nephele Mountain. The area was a remote and undeveloped wild mountainous region that didn't have any form of tourism going on. Fortunately, there were roads built, so it was still accessible by car.There were some small villages in the area, and the villagers only let their livestock graze on the hillsides. They didn't venture further up and deeper into the mountains because there were wolf packs lurking in there. The wolves would sometimes kill the villagers' livestock.Luck seemed to be on their side; Erin and the others spotted Chandler's Maybach at the end of the mountain road. Chandler was here.Erin and the rest got out of their cars carefully; they were cautious and vigilant. Upon confirming that there was no one else around, they alighted their vehicles. It was already dawn, but the mountain area was still cold and covered in dense fog th
After hearing the report, Chandler immediately made the decision that he would take four special forces bodyguards with him to the location where Aurora was. The remaining two special forces bodyguard would go to assist the other two teams. There was a chance that Hans and the drug enforcement officers would come across Asa too. Since there wasn't any time to waste, they couldn't wait to meet up with the other teams."Does everyone agree with my decision?" Chandler asked Paulo and the others. Ryder had already returned from the other end of the cave, and the special forces bodyguard who reported the situation earlier took over his place and stood guard.After pondering for a few moments, Ryder said, "Though we're fewer in numbers, we should be able to deal with Aurora and her gang—"Before he could finish, another one of Chandler's bodyguards hurriedly entered the cave to alert them. "Mr. Frost, a group of people has appeared ahead!""Is it Aurora and her gang?" Chandler asked sole
"That's not a problem. I'll bring you to your son. Aurora insisted on meeting you anyway. When you see your son, you'll transfer the money, deal?" Fitz had a dark look in his eyes."Deal! Let's get going." Chandler stepped forward right away.Looking at the six villagers behind him, Fitz had an apparent intent to kill all of them.Chandler sensed his intentions and said in a low voice, "They're just a bunch of honest villagers. There's no need to kill them. They won't alert the police. I don't want these six lives to be taken away because of me and my son."His words made Fitz pause and think. If he killed these six villagers, it would be more troublesome if their family members came looking for them in the mountains later. Thinking of this, Fitz gave up on his idea to kill them. However, he warned them viciously, saying, "Hey, you lot! I'm warning you! If you don't want your entire family to be wiped out, you'd better keep your mouths shut. My business with this man has nothing to
After Chandler comforted Asa, he held his son's hand and walked toward Aurora, preparing to negotiate with her. He was also buying time while waiting for his six special forces bodyguards to arrive.Along the way, he made special markings. He was wearing a pair of unique leather shoes. They left footprints wherever he walked, but these footprints could only be seen with special digital glasses. Following his trail, his bodyguards should arrive soon.Right then, Aurora looked at the harmonious and heartwarming scene of the father and son getting closer to her. However, the more pleasant the scene before her was, the more it fueled her hatred!Her sinister eyes stared at Chandler's perfect face, and a few seconds later, she suddenly laughed. "Well, well ... Chandler, your face can indeed make women fall head over heels for you. It's unfortunate that my foolish sister met such an end because of you! You scum! You relied on your wealth to pursue these innocent women. How many women have
"Transfer the money first, then I'll remove it!" Fitz disagreed sternly.Chandler smiled faintly. "Fitz, he's just a kid. Are you worried that he'll escape? We don't have any weapons. What advantage do we have besides money?"His deliberate display of weakness was to avoid provoking Fitz. A criminal could change his mind at any time, so it was imperative to be careful with his words. Listening to Chandler's words, Fitz glanced at him and Asa, relishing in a sense of superiority of manipulating other people's lives. He silently decided that he would kill them right after getting the money."Aurora, remove the device from his son," he ordered and went back into the cabin.She was the one who put the device on Asa, so she would naturally be the one to remove it as well. There wasn't a hint of reluctance in her eyes. Without a word, she went in and retrieved the remote control. In less than a minute, she returned and walked over to Asa.She crouched down and said, "I'll remove the dev
