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
Gavin's case hadn't been resolved yet, and Erin herself had just been accused by Alana of being a wicked woman. Now, Simon told her Steven had possibly committed murder because he was set up.Erin felt like she was on the verge of suffocating and collapsing. What was going on? Why did all these things keep happening one after another ever since she came back? Why did her family members get into trouble one after another? Who was trying to destroy her family?"Simon, what do you think the other party's motive is? I told you on the way here that someone deliberately framed me for Alana and Angela's misfortune."Erin's expression was heavy and gloomy as she continued, "My parents don't have any deep grudges with anyone, nor have they made enemies. My father is actually a timid person who's afraid of trouble. He never dares to offend even a single customer for the sake of business. I think the other party is most likely targeting me, and they keep targeting the people around me."She t
Within a few seconds, her tears soaked through Holly's clothes.Holly silently held Erin, gently stroking her back. She didn't know what to say, so she could only accompany her best friend in silence. She understood that Erin didn't want to let her beloved shoulder everything for her. Holly knew that Erin, being strong as she was, didn't want to show her completely broken side to Chandler.But in front of Holly, Erin regressed to her true self. She could cry if she wanted to; she could show her vulnerabilities. To put it simply, Erin felt that she was on equal footing with Holly when she faced her. When it came to Chandler, she still felt that she was reaching beyond her league deep in her heart.Now that so many things were happening at home, Erin realized how limited her abilities were. It was all thanks to Chandler she didn't need to go around seeking help frantically.After she cried for half an hour, Holly held her hand and led her to sit on the couch."Erin, you don't have t
