At 3 am, two women had been locked up at a camp near a private diamond mine abroad for three days. They were Angela and Alana.Ever since Chandler made a public statement saying he was no longer friends with Alana, Angela brought her sister along and went on a trip.Unlike the past vacations, they did not choose to go on luxurious trips where they shopped till they dropped this time. They chose to travel to free their souls. They went to places in nature that were barely developed.Three days ago, they arrived at a diamond mine. Before they arrived, the mine was still a public area because of its treacherous terrain. Some local villagers had tried to look for diamonds there, but after a few people died, the villagers stayed far away from the mine.After Alana was provoked by Chandler, she mentioned to her sister that she wanted to go on an adventure. Angela would do whatever her sister said just to make her forget all the unhappy things that had happened, so both of them climbed do
Two days later, at 3 pm, Erin and Chandler sat in a car that was located in an open parking lot. The sunlight shone brightly, accompanied by a gentle breeze. It was late autumn then. Soon, winter would come.Chandler looked at the row of villas which were in warm tones ahead of them. They were at a high-end recuperation center for the city's elite individuals.He glanced sideways at Erin and whispered, "Are you really not going in?"Erin had been conflicted, but she made a decision the moment he asked her that question. She said, "Chandler, Alana wants to see you. If I go too, she may be unhappy. What they've encountered overseas isn't something any ordinary person can bear. Besides their family, I think they need support from their best friends. Roman has put aside work to keep them company. You should do the same for the next few days too."Pausing slightly, Erin continued seriously, "Although Alana made a mistake previously, I think she regrets it by now. Let's give her another
His gentle demeanor and deliberate attempts to please made Erin frown. She found it baffling and unbelievable. "Ian, why are you giving me flowers for no reason? I don't like lilies anymore. Besides, I'm already married, so I won't easily accept flowers from other men. Didn't you say you had some information about Gavin? What is it?"Her blunt and formal attitude made Ian feel embarrassed for a moment, but deep down, he knew this was exactly the current state of his relationship with Erin."You really know how to break someone's heart, Erin. Was there a need for you to reject me so seriously? It's just a bouquet of flowers. Chandler shouldn't get jealous because of this, right?"Erin was getting impatient. "If you don't have anything important to say, I'll be leaving.Her indifferent attitude prompted Ian to immediately make a phone call to his secretary, Yandel, who had been waiting in the car. In less than two minutes, Yandel brought the documents to the private room. Once he del
Ryder's words angered Ian and made him feel displeased, but he didn't show it and just chuckled casually in response. "You're good at making jokes, Mr. White."Ian brushed off Ryder's remark with that response. Erin's expression had also become a little stiff at the moment, so Ryder was tactful enough to leave the topic at that. Following that, the three of them discussed the information Ian had uncovered while drinking coffee. They agreed that they would investigate this matter together.Half an hour later, Erin and Ian left in their respective cars.…On her way home, Erin received a call from Paulo."You finally called back!" Erin exclaimed excitedly, but her tone carried a slight twinge of dissatisfaction. She and Paulo were supposed to be buddies, but he ignored her calls.Paulo was currently back in the Garden of Eden, leaning lazily against his chair. He looked displeased as he said, "Erin, I was abroad for the past few days. I haven't been around—"Erin asked in a playfu
Yvette covered her mouth with one hand, and her whole body stiffened. Her actions in the secret room were soon discovered by the guards in the surveillance room, and they immediately called Paulo through the internal line.At that moment, Paulo and Erin were chatting in his office. When he received the call, he hurriedly rushed out. Feeling worried, Erin followed him....In less than ten minutes, Paulo rushed into the secret room. At a glance, he saw Yvette had already stood up from her wheelchair.Paulo exploded in anger seeing her motionless back. He confronted her icily. "How dare you! How dare you break into my secret room! Get out immediately!"Startled, Yvette turned around and saw Paulo. Her face was pale, and she looked at him in disbelief as she asked, "Who is the woman in the glass cylinder? Why does she look so much like Erin?"Her words happened to be heard by Erin, who was a few steps behind Paulo.Erin slowly walked in, her steps faltering. Her attention was immed
Erin took Yvette to the Garden of Eden to undergo a scar repair surgery but discovered that her new face was crafted according to Paulo's deceased sister's looks. As a result, Paulo took her as his sister, which was ultimately a good thing.Because of Erin, Paulo didn't pursue further actions against Yvette for trespassing into that secret room. However, he made it clear that the Garden of Eden would no longer welcome Yvette. Paulo refused to do any surgery on Yvette from then onward. Even if Erin begged him, he wouldn't relent.On the plane back to the city, Yvette didn't talk or interact with Erin in the slightest. She was filled with jealousy and resentment as she fumed inwardly, "Why is she always so lucky to have so many men look out for her? Could it be that she has secret relations with them?"Yvette became increasingly convinced of this. However, she lacked evidence to prove it to her beloved brother-in-law, Chandler. She wasn't in a hurry, though. Erin had started warming u
With Alana threatening his wife right in front of him, would Chandler still be considered a man if he remained silent?His face had darkened at this point, and his eyes gleamed with icy coldness. His voice was devoid of any warmth as he warned, "Watch your words, Alana. If you continue to unjustly accuse my wife without any evidence, I won't show you mercy!"Alana turned her angry gaze toward him, and her words were laced with disappointment. "Do you really believe in Erin so much? She may not be as good as you think! Why don't you believe me at all? Is our friendship of so many years completely worthless compared to a few words from Erin?""If your accusations are baseless, and I choose to believe you solely based on your side of the story, then I don't think I deserve to be Erin's husband! I know her better than you do. Don't be hasty to make judgments. I'll personally investigate this matter and give you and Angela an explanation."Chandler's eyes suddenly foreboding as he conti
When Cherry revealed this horrifying news to Erin, she quickly pulled the car over to the side of the road near a restaurant. She was in so much shock that she couldn't handle driving at that moment. "Erin, are you listening to me? Erin—" Cherry's panicked voice came through again.Erin's face turned pale, and she struggled to control her trembling fingers as she parked her car in a nearby parking spot with difficulty.She gripped the phone tightly and asked, "Mom, what did you just say?"Thinking that Erin hadn't heard her clearly, Cherry repeated herself.Only then did Erin manage to respond but was still unable to believe what she'd heard. She asked, "Do you know how this happened? How could Dad commit murder?""That's what I want you to find out. Although I've long lost any feelings for Steven, he is still your and Yvette's father. Now that something like this has happened, what will happen to Tracy's son with her dead? As far as I know, her father passed away from liver can
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
