Chapter 368 Rejected by Him

Author: Simone Hastings
"I choose the box in the middle." Paulo finally made his choice. Even if it might be wrong, there was nothing he could do.

The butler signaled to a nearby bodyguard, who opened the box in the middle. Erin and Jenny couldn't see what was inside the wooden box, so they held their breaths, watching Paulo's back as he approached the box he chose.

Upon taking a look inside the box, his heart dropped to his stomach. He was filled with disappointment and cursed his own foolishness.

Draco caught his expression and couldn't help but laugh. "Too bad for you. Luck isn't on your side. Gentlemen, open the other two boxes so that Mr. Paulo won't think that I cheated."

The bodyguards opened the boxes on the left and right. Paulo walked over with a composed face and checked them; the ring was in the box on the left. Under Paulo's gaze, Draco took the ring from the bottom of the box.

"You heard the rules earlier. I don't need to repeat them," Draco said and turned to walk up the stairs steadily w

    After thinking about it for a long while, Erin finally gritted her teeth and admitted, "Yes, it's him! Can I really trust you, Mr. Powell?"She was running the risk of Draco reaching out to Noah and informing him about this. If she really put her trust in the wrong person, she would feel like ending her own life!Draco stood up and walked up to her. A sense of sentimentality that had been long lost to him appeared in his complex gaze. His hand which was wearing the ring involuntarily reached toward Erin's bare face. Instinctively, Erin took a step back.He smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you."His assurance seemed to have some effect, as Erin stood still and didn't move.Draco took another step closer and lifted his arm again. When his fingers touched Erin's cheek, she felt like stepping away. But when she thought of Chandler, she suppressed the grievances and anger in her heart.She didn't know what Draco was playing at, but in her mind, she'd already imagined ma

    What Draco said astonished Erin greatly. He was insinuating that Paulo had romantic feelings for his sister, Pamela."You find it unbelievable too, don't you?" Draco smiled with a hint of indifference, seemingly expecting such a response.Though this secret shook her being, as someone who had been Paulo's good friend for a great many years, Erin didn't want to pass judgmental comments about him in front of Draco, so she chose to remain silent.Draco looked at her and said, "Paulo and I are of the same age. We got to know each other when we were ten years old. I witnessed his sister, Pamela, growing into a stunning beauty. As time went by, I fell in love with her. But when I found out about Paulo's secret feelings for his sister, I took the initiative to pursue Pamela. Because of that, we had several heated arguments."He continued, "I expressed my love for the girl I cherished, and when Paulo's grandfather found out, he even tried to matchmake us. But then, Pamela didn't have feeli

    "It shouldn't be! My husband's in a dilemma himself now." "Fine! You trying to look all pitiful is so annoying! I told you before that I only want to see you smile. Pamela smiled a lot back then …" His words almost made her roll her eyes. "Mr. Powell, as long as you help me get my husband out of there, I promise that I'll smile so much that my face gets cramps. Satisfied with her answer, Draco nodded. "Okay. I'll remember this promise of yours. Ask Paulo to come here. I'll make a call in the secret room. Erin felt her heart warm up knowing that he finally saw her as one of his own. Her eyes watered, and she sniffed several times in an attempt to stop the tears from flowing. "Don't cry! I told you that you have to be all smiles. Hurry and bring that psycho here." There was a hint of annoyance in his eyes now. It seemed like he really hated seeing Erin's crying face. Erin froze for a moment. Who was the psycho he was talking about? It didn't take long for her to realiz

    Erin subconsciously froze at the sight of Chandler. Immediately, she was scolded by Draco. "Idiot! What are you staring at? Pass the weapons!" A sliver of fear formed in his heart. He was afraid that those armed mercenaries would become suspicious of them. Erin obediently rushed to the cart to get the tin boxes. The mercenaries that stood guard in two rows at the entrance of the cell scanned their surroundings. Their leader looked at Chandler and Kyle with an expressionless face as though he was just doing his duty.With two tin boxes in her hands, Erin entered Chandler and Kyle's cell. While standing beside the card, Draco took a glimpse of his surroundings. By doing so, he was actually observing those mercenaries in secret. They were sent here by different members. The tasks were also randomly assigned to them here. That was why Draco had to be extra careful. Erin approached Chandler, and when his piercing eyes met hers, he froze. It was Erin! The shock and excitement

    Before the staff could react, Cyrus had already signaled for his men to target the three members and their friends.Draco was taken aback by this change of things. What was the president up to now?Suddenly, gunshots rang out, followed by the three members' bodies as they fell to the floor. Their hearts had been shot through by the rifles Cyrus' men carried.Erin's grip tightened around Chandler's arm. The man gently squeezed her hand, trying to give her the strength to remain calm."Are you outta your mind, Blue-Eagle?!" one of the members yelled while the other members checked on their friends' bodies.Cyrus languidly walked up and sat down on the Eagle Throne, one leg over the other. "I bet you're regretting coming here, aren't you? It's too late now … Here, why don't I let you in on why I'm killing you guys?""Why?!""Because you f*cking deserve to die!

    Erin replied calmly, "I'm from Red Deer's band. My brother's Number 056 from District D. He hurt his hand and couldn't use his gun, so I'm standing in for him for the night."She had already practiced saying this a thousand times before tonight, just in case she was found out.Cyrus' gaze lingered on her. "Do you know why Red Deer isn't participating tonight?""I'm not too sure, sir. But I did hear from my brother about them being sick …""Hm." Draco had reported the same earlier. "Has your brother ever met Red Deer?""No, sir."Then a minute of silence followed.Finally, as if tired of this interrogation, Cyrus waved her off. "Alright. Out you go.""Yes, sir."Just when she was about to leave, Cyrus suddenly said, "Wait."Erin swallowed her pounding heart and turned around. "Yes, sir?""Keep a close eye on those three participants, y'hear? One f*ck up and it's your life on the line.""Of course, sir. We won't take our eyes off 'em!""Alright. Scoot."Erin nodded and left

    Three days later, Chandler and Erin made it back home safely. Osborn was also alerted of Noah's disappearance. Meanwhile, news outlets all across the world alerted the public of the discovery of an island packed with more than a hundred dead, charred bodies, none of which were identifiable at the moment.The only reason the navy was able to find this island was because of Draco's anonymous tip. He'd wanted to permanently cut off ties with the club.Chandler had never seen Draco's true appearance, as the man never took his mask off. Erin didn't push him either. Yet, Chandler had come to know who he was and knew this man was once close friends with Paulo Eastwood himself."If you ever need help, you know where to find me," Chandler had told him before leaving the ship.Noah was now an internationally wanted criminal. Chandler and his men's testimonials were more nails in that head, claiming he was the one who'd tipped the police about the island's existence. Hopefully, Cyrus believed

    Both Chandler and Erin turned to the bed in shock."Dad, you're awake!" Chandler cried excitedly.Quentin had pushed himself up from the bed by now. He sighed, "Yes, I have been all this while.""But why?" Erin frowned."Erin—I haven't yet, but thank you. Thank you so much for saving my son. Thank you—" Quentin even wanted to stand up to go to her."Of course, Dad. I love him."The man put on some slippers and went over to Erin, gently holding her hand in his before walking to the couch. When all of them had sat down, Quentin asked, "I actually planned this with Alan. It was all faked …""... Because of Evelyn?"A look of disappointment surfaced on Quentin's face. "Your mother's changed a lot, Chandler …"He couldn't help but laugh bitterly."Your mother was the sweetest, kindest woman when I first met her. Who'd know three decades could make such a difference? I barely recognize her anymore … I've been terrified something might happen to you two these days. I spent the night

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
