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
Five minutes later, Simon had already put on the bathrobe he picked up from the kitchen floor and was staring at the knife in his hand with a solemn gaze.Erin came back just in time to see that. Holding the keys in one hand and the ravioli she forgot downstairs earlier in the other, she shouted in fear, "Stop right there!"She immediately threw the insulated food jar away and rushed toward Simon, snatching the knife away from him at lightning speed. Feeling heartbroken and sorry for him, she said, "Why are you so foolish? You're an accomplished young man, yet you actually thought of killing yourself? Simon, do you not feel ashamed? What's the big deal? You just had slightly indifferent parents and a brother who's a little heartless … What's that got to do with you? You still lived your life well, so why should you let these people who didn't love you affect your life? If I were you, I absolutely won't choose to kill myself! That's a huge insult to life!"Simon frowned a little as h
Ten minutes later, they finished almost all the food.Simon asked with a teasing gaze, "Erin, what are you doing to do about the mark on your neck? How about I just tell Chandler that we've slept together?"Erin choked on her water after hearing his nonsense and got completely flushed. She coughed so hard that she was in tears.Simon walked over to pat her on the back, looking a little guilty for teasing her. For some reason, he seemed to have taken on a casual attitude toward Erin ever since he found out he was Chandler's brother. Perhaps it should be said that he was more willing to get close to her.While Erin coughed, she was thinking of a way to deal with the situation. If Chandler had found out what Simon had done, would they get into a fight on an impulse?Damn it! Erin frowned and said, "I'll get a deep tissue massage when I return to cover up the crime you've committed. Listen to me, Simon! My tolerance for you is zero now, so if this were to happen again, I'll exaggera
Two days later, Chandler arrived at the Frost residence at 6 pm. They were there to attend the family dinner organized by Quentin.They were busy dealing with Cherry's and Gavin's cases earlier, so they had already rejected the invitation twice.Cherry had won her case, so when Quentin invited them again, Chandler agreed. It would be rude if he rejected his father the third time.Quentin did not invite his second ex-wife, Vanda, and his brother, Andrew, to this family dinner this time. He did not even invite Simon either, even though he had already come clean with him.Chandler and Erin had a great mutual understanding to not bring Asa with them. They did not want their son to be involved in such a suffocating family dinner.Erin felt the hand that was holding hers was a little cold, so she glanced at him before they entered the villa.Chandler lowered his head a little and looked at her from the corner of his eye as well. He felt the encouragement and support from Erin's eyes, a
