Erin was stunned after hearing what Gavin said. Her mother's matter had yet to be resolved, yet something had happened to her brother as well. She felt a headache coming on and asked, feeling shocked, "Where are you now? How did the accident happen? Are you sure you've killed the person?"Erin was blunt because if that truly had already happened, she had no time at that moment to be concerned about her brother's feelings."Erin, I'm sorry. I actually returned to the city three days ago, but I haven't gone to look for you guys … My classmate from college invited me to a party—" Gavin started recounting with a catch in his throat.Erin cut him off, saying, "Gavin! Get to the point! Don't talk about anything that's not important!"Gavin was taken aback, then he said in a deep voice, "I'm being blocked by a crowd at Senloux Street now. I was drunk driving …Two were killed and one was severely injured … Erin, I don't want to go to jail! I'm begging you, please save me …"Two were kille
Twenty minutes later, Chandler was frowning and pacing back and forth in Alan's office after Erin told him about Gavin.Of course, he was feeling a little upset. With Chandler's capability, taking care of the trouble that Gavin got himself into was just a small matter. However, he was afraid that someone with ulterior motives would maliciously sensationalize the accident caused by Erin's mother and brother.Both incidents happened at the same time. Logically speaking, if it were truly orchestrated by someone, then the mastermind behind the scenes was too eager to succeed! The person attacked so frequently. Was he not afraid that Chandler would find something?Chandler had been in the business field for many years. Once something like this happened, he would always first wonder if it were a coincidence or someone's dirty work. Because the nature of the two was different, and the way he would deal with them would also be different.Suddenly, Chandler stopped in his tracks and said to
At 3 pm, Erin brought Gavin to the Maple Villa which was located in the suburbs. It was a private property that was never opened to the public.Erin never expected that the owner of the villa would actually be Aunder's God of Gambling, Louis. What was even more unexpected was that the two people who were killed and the one who was severely injured in Gavin's drunk driving accident were actually Louis' fraternal twins and their nanny!The twins were killed on the spot while the nanny was so severely injured that she was still in critical condition in the ICU.At that moment, Gavin was on his knees in the living room of Maple Villa.Erin wanted to kneel with her brother as well, but Chandler had told her that she was not allowed to beg Louis for forgiveness in ways that were not within reason. Besides, her brother had stopped her as well. He said he should be the one bearing the consequences for his actions, so he could not make her suffer with him.Chandler wanted to come along to
Louis' words stunned Erin! She was dazed for ten seconds as she stared into his eyes, trying to find a sign that he was joking.It was unclear if it was because Louis was in no mood to joke or if he seriously was not joking, but his expression was torn and helpless. Erin could understand his helplessness.This was the first time she felt it was fortunate that she was Louis' friend and not his foe. She was truly lucky to be able to sit there unharmed at that moment instead of being immediately driven out.She and her brother had come to ask for Louis' forgiveness with great sincerity, but she knew it was not an easy feat.How could they easily make up for the two lives that were lost? Louis moved his gaze away from Erin's face and walked toward his desk not far away. Erin stood as well and followed behind Louis slowly.She had not figured out how to reply to him. It was clearly an unreasonable request that was beyond anything normal, but Erin could understand after putting hers
Louis kept asking her for the reason, but she could not answer him. If she were the one facing the tragedy, she believed she would do the same.Erin was suddenly reminded of the few years after she was burned and disfigured."Louis, I know I might not sound convincing if I bring up my past, but I still want to tell you that I also used to resent destiny for being unfair to me back then. Why was I the one who was kidnapped? Why must I be the one who's burned the disfigured? To be honest with you, I used to resent Chandler as well because he was the reason I was kidnapped. However, I let it go in the end because I chose to spare myself."She continued to say calmly, "Every major decision changes our lives. There are good changes, so of course, there are bad ones as well. If we have to get down to the source for everything, I think there's no way we can live well. Because our lives are destined to be imperfect the moment we are born. If my son is the one who died, I think I'd be just l
Louis was a little confused to see Ronda begging on her knees for his forgiveness. Standing behind Ronda, Tony said, "She previously said this has something to do with the children."Children?Louis squinted, saying with great certainty, "Ronda, as long as you tell me the truth, I can spare your life."If Ronda could ask him to spare her life, it had to be something major.Ronda was on her knees, not daring to look up at Louis. If the twins were not killed after being run over by a car and Louis suddenly wanted to do a paternity test again, she would never be afraid of being found out. After all, a paternity test had been conducted when the children were born.Ronda's voice was shaking a little as she said softly, "Mr. Gamel, I've actually kept something a secret before I agreed to this. Two days before I got the embryo transfer done … I had sex with my ex-boyfriend with whom I had broken up, and we didn't use any protection. I was thinking there can't be such a coincidence … but
What Chandler said immediately made Simon curse. "Fuck you! Calm down? I just found out that I'm an abandoned child whose parents didn't love him! Quentin said he could compensate me with Frost Corporation's shares. Vanda is ingratiating herself with me, asking me to take the shares. Chandler, the 'high and mighty' president of the Frost Corporation, is asking me to calm down. All of you are fucking nuts!"Simon burst out laughing as he felt it was absurd. When he glanced at the stairs with his bloodshot eyes, the woman who appeared made his heart ache.Simon pointed at Erin with a trembling finger and asked, "Erin! Tell me, did you know about this a long time ago?"Erin had already heard everything while they were conversing, and she was very shocked. Chandler had been keeping this a secret without telling her about it.Trent returned to the living room with a first-aid kit and also a doctor. Chandler was a meticulous person, so ever since Cherry moved into the villa, he had a doc
Five minutes later, Holly said while feeling slightly emotional, "Erin, can you help go check on Simon? He's actually a very proud person, so this must seriously be a huge blow to him. Trust me. He'll definitely help your mother. He's a professional lawyer, so he absolutely won't go back on his word! I am sure about this!"Holly sighed and said, "But since he already said what he said, even if intends to help your mother, he would be too embarrassed to do so. You should just make a soup and take it to him. He's going to have an upset stomach because of his hangover, so he's not going to eat anything."Holly went on and on showing her concern for Simon. Erin could not help but let out a sigh at the fact that her best friend still loved him so much. In the end, Erin agreed to Holly's request.Besides, Erin also wanted to ask Simon to help with her mother's case again. Even Chandler held Simon in such high regard, so Erin had no choice but to drop the prejudice she had against him back
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. Whil
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? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
