Caleb and Irene returned to the city two days later.Gunnar was so busy dealing with the armory that he had no time to care about Marvin's human trafficking issue. So, all the people on the fishing boat with Caleb and Irene were then rescued by the coast guards.After they returned, they were admitted to Alan's hospital.Irene was not in a good mental state during the first comprehensive checkup. It was her first time being abducted, so it was inevitable that she was still traumatized.Caleb fractured his arm when he fought with the abductor to protect his wife. When Erin went to visit them, Irene was taken by her brother, Alan, to see a psychiatrist. At that moment, Caleb was the only one in the ward.Caleb was scrolling through Twitter when Erin walked through the door. As soon as he saw her, he asked urgently, "Erin, are you and my cousin divorced?"Erin closed the door, holding the food she'd brought for them. Her bodyguards, the Lehman sisters, disguised themselves as fr
Ian and Yvette were the known enemies so far. They were the obvious suspects, so once Chandler and Erin found evidence, they could start to take action.As for Steven's case, someone successfully became a scapegoat in the end, just like Noah expected. There was even hard evidence for it too.Tracy had bumped into a former lover on the night she got drunk. The man bribed a server to spike her drink, and on top of that, Whitney had somebody put a sleeping pill in Tracy's drink on Noah's orders as well. As a result, Tracy was unconscious for the whole night.When Steven killed Tracy in a fit of rage, she looked like she was sleeping, but she was actually unconscious. But when the coroner examined Tracy's body, he only examined the fatal stab wounds and did not test for drugs in Tracy's blood. By the time Simon raised an objection, Tracy's body had long been cremated in her hometown.The scapegoat was given a sentence by the court, but it was still a fact that Steven had killed someone
Noah's words surprised Erin, so much so that she did not even know what to think for a moment. What Noah meant clearly just eliminated himself as a suspect.Did he truly have nothing to do with the Wood sisters' case?Chandler told Erin before that Noah had no motive.After Erin heard him apologizing and saw him spending money to make it up to her because the Wood sisters had wrongfully accused her, she was even more confused about Noah's character.Even if this had nothing to do with him, the way he ingratiated himself with her seemed a little too much. Erin had no choice but to first play along and brush him off. With a faint smile on her face, she said, "Noah, since it was done by your subordinate, it has nothing to do with you, so there's no need for you to dwell on it. Even if you really wanted to apologize, you should be apologizing to Alana and Angela. They are the true victims.""Erin, I felt guilty, and I just kept feeling that I owe you something …" He still looked very
Louis was slightly taken aback by Erin's bluntness. He was a little upset that she detested the idea of Gavin learning gambling skills from him so much."Erin, why do you have such a strong reaction? Did I commit a heinous crime?" His voice was a little cold and arrogant, which left Erin at a loss for words for a moment.Louis said seriously, "Aunder is a gambling city, but it's run legally. I saw that Gavin was quite talented and eager to learn. He even didn't sleep a wink for three days and three nights just begging me to teach him. I only agreed out of respect for you, yet you disagree now. This makes me feel like a jerk who has done a horrible thing.""It's not like that, Louis. You might have misunderstood me. I only hope that Gave could have better values in life. He's a little too eager to have instant success with the mindset of getting rich overnight." Erin was worried that Gavin would be easily manipulated with that mindset of his. People who got tricked were always the on
At 10 pm, the "divorced" Erin stayed at the small villa Chandler had bought back then. Of course, this was a "property she got from the divorce" and people would not suspect a thing.Right after Erin walked out of the bathroom, a man covered her mouth from behind. He was in black clothes and had a wolf plastic mask on his head, which looked terrifying.At first, Erin was so frightened that she wanted to scream. However, she caught a whiff of a familiar scent of cigarettes and cologne coming from the man. Erin then mischievously stomped on the man's shoes with all her might, but since she was barefooted, it did not hurt him too much.The man immediately let her go, taking off the mask in a hurry. With a slight frown on his face, he said, "Erin, you knew it was me, yet you still stomped on my foot."She turned around, saying, "Hmph! You deserved it for scaring me."Chandler tossed the mask toward the vanity and took off his thick jacket, revealing a tight black T-shirt underneath. T
Soon after Erin and the others left, the paparazzi walked out of the cupboard he had been hiding in and tipped a server five thousand dollars before he left.After he got out of the restaurant, he quickly got into a black Jeep, and his partner drove him away.The paparazzi immediately posted the photos he took with his phone on Twitter, and he also published the headline that was already typed up in advance.The content of the news was criticizing Erin for seducing a married man, Caleb. The paparazzi even made up the reason for her divorce from Chandler, saying that she might have been dumped because she had an affair. The photo of Erin being pinned down on the wooden floor by Caleb happened to support that idea.Before Erin got Caleb to Alan's hospital, she received a call from Chandler.As soon as the call was connected, Chandler asked in a cold voice, "What happened to Caleb? The story about you and him is already all over the Internet."Erin was sitting in the front passenger
The reason Alan helped Irene was that she begged him in tears, saying that Erin wanted to meet Caleb because she was divorced. Irene also said that Caleb was still hung up on Erin, and she was afraid they would be getting a room together that night. It was then that Alan thought of exposing Erin and Caleb's scandal. He arranged for the paparazzi to snap photos, and he wanted to use the pressure from the public's comments to make it impossible for them to be together.Who would have expected that Caleb actually knew about Erin and Chandler's fake divorce, and Erin was actually meeting Caleb to talk him out of divorcing Irene?Alan immediately got a headache. He trusted his sister this time as she had never lied before, but to his surprise, he was manipulated by her.He felt very disappointed. Irene's behavior at that moment started to make him worry about her. She was in an extremely unstable place both mentally and emotionally.However, Alan did the most important thing to do at
The three bodyguards who were captured were previously sent by Chandler to protect Cherry, but they knew about his plans. After Noah learned that Chandler had already found new clues, he knew he could not wait anymore!Chandler would find evidence against him sooner or later. Once concrete evidence was found, it would be hard for him to escape if were to fight against the law. Also, the prestigious reputation his family got for being in the jewelry business for generations would be ruined as well!He did not wish for his personal grudge to affect his jewelry business empire. As a billionaire, how would he allow himself to go to jail?He had to be vicious to succeed, so he had to strike first!If he were to continue playing games with Chandler, he would end up losing his life.Within half an hour, the sedated Chandler was already transported away in a shipping container. His Maybach, the bodies of the bodyguards, and the bodyguards' Benz were also in the container.The crime scene
