Erin placed her cutlery down. When Holly saw how regretful Erin looked, she immediately comforted her. "Hey, don't think about it anymore! Let the past remain in the past. Since he has something on you, I can't help you much. The Frost Corporation can grow even bigger, so I definitely believe that Chandler can be ruthless. We'll be at a disadvantage if we go up against him."Erin slowly suppressed her bitterness. She shouldn't air out her grievances to Holly. She shook her head and said, "It's fine! I'll treat it as a lesson learned!""Erin, please don't think I'm being nosy, but you should quickly settle your divorce with Ian. You're still married, yet you're living with another man. It does sound quite inappropriate. If Ian and his family find out about this, all hell will break loose."Holly was voicing what Erin was worried about. In a fit of rage, she told Holly what Ian had said to her.Holly almost flipped the table over after hearing Erin's story. She cursed, "Fuck him! I h
Erin never thought that she could come in first!"My design won? You're not just being biased?" she asked in disbelief. Caleb was a little displeased by her doubts. He said coolly, "Can't you just have a little confidence in yourself? Is that what you think of me? Even if I've asked you to let me be your boyfriend, I keep my work and private life separate! I only see a person's capabilities during work!"Erin immediately apologized for underestimating him, "I-I'm sorry."Caleb sighed and said, "Forget it! If you ever doubt me like this again, watch out! I'll make things very difficult for you!"Erin was a little taken aback, but she came to her senses when she realized Caleb was joking. She giggled and said, "Mr. Grant, it turns out you know how to crack a joke too!"Caleb smiled. "What nonsense. I'm human, after all. Can't I joke?"Standing in a dark corner, Dana was infuriated to no end seeing Erin and Caleb smiling. She was peeved that she only came in third in the competiti
The next morning, when Erin woke up, she screamed when she saw the man in her room. However, when she heard how hoarse her voice sounded, she awkwardly covered her mouth and shut up. Chandler was in a bathrobe as if he had just finished showering. He couldn't hide the disgust on his face as he sneered, "Erin, what are you screaming about? Haven't you screamed enough last night? I believe that the household staff didn't sleep well."He threw her a flirtatious glance before heading to the walk-in closet. At that moment, Erin was all alone in the huge bedroom. She got up and noticed she was wearing an extremely see-through sleeping gown—it wasn't hers! She was guessing whether it belonged to one of Chandler's other women. At that thought, she disgustedly stripped off the sleeping gown and threw it on the floor.If it weren't for the hickeys on her body, her porcelain skin would be almost flawless. The previous bite mark had disappeared, thanks to the medication the butler gave her
Erin was struck speechless upon seeing Chandler's furious reaction.The car was suddenly in pin-drop silence. Chandler has finally calmed down a little. He had lost control of his emotions a moment ago, which was why he was feeling annoyed. He looked tense and said nothing.When they reached the parking lot of the office building, they still didn't talk to each other, merely taking their respective elevators to their offices.When Erin was at her office, she wanted to look for Dana to ask her some questions. It wasn't that she suspected Dana of drugging her. After all, she never had any conflicts with Dana, even when they were at their previous company. She didn't think Dana would harm her. However, she only chatted and drank with Caleb and Dana the night before. Her thoughts couldn't help but drift toward Caleb.She was even more unconvinced that Caleb would have drugged her. Thinking about how righteous and kind he looked, even suspecting him was considered an insult to him.Whe
Erin smiled awkwardly, "Yes, I only have that one best friend."Caleb sighed and said, "Well, I guess we'll have to do it another day. I'll eat alone today. I won't keep you any longer.""Thank you, Mr. Grant."When Erin was taking the elevator up to the highest floor, her phone rang. She had a look and saw that it was from an unknown number. She picked up, thinking that it might be her mother."Hello, am I speaking to Erin Lane?"When she heard a rather unfriendly man's voice on the phone, she said in detest, "Yes, I am. Who are you?""You can call me Tony. Your parents are with me right now. Your father owes me ten million dollars from gambling, yet your mother only brought two million over, naively thinking she could take him away. If everyone who owes me doesn't repay me, my reputation will be ruined!Tony was clearly unhappy. Although he wasn't speaking fiercely, his cold tone still frightened Erin. She didn't need to guess that Tony was no saint!Also, Tony had mistaken G
"Too bad you don't dare to come out to the public and can only secretly be with your lover." Chandler pulled open an exquisite drawer next to the sofa and took out the cigar box. He opened the box and asked Angela, "Cigar?"She thought for a while before saying, "I'll take one. I haven't had one in ages. My lover has been making a fuss recently, complaining that I'm not out with my parents and that she has to live in the shadows. Fuck me. I almost choked her to death."Chandler prepared the cigar and handed it to her. He said with a hint of tease in his voice, "I don't think I'll understand your world, so I can't give you any good advice. If you need help, you know where to find me.""It's fine. Let's not talk about her anymore. Once I'm free, I'll take her to Eupath for a long holiday. She'll naturally feel better." Angela continued, "Let's talk about you instead. Why don't you look for someone simpler? Is a divorced woman really that great?" She lit the cigar and gently inhaled.
At 10 pm, Erin and Holly's flight arrived at Aunder. When they came out from the airport, they immediately hailed a taxi that left straight for King Midas Club.Hans, who had boarded the same flight, had followed them in another taxi behind, keeping his distance.An hour later, Erin and Holly arrived and got out of the taxi. Erin had already called Tony when she was still in the taxi, telling him she had gotten the money.Tony was stunned, but at the thought of getting his money, he eagerly wanted her to come and send the money over. At that moment, he was waiting for them at the top-floor office of King Midas Club.Erin and Holly took a deep breath before entering the huge, brilliantly lit building. As the glass elevator kept rising, she looked out at the dazzling skyline—the glamourous and vibrant nightlife appealed to every human's deepest greed.In the elevator, Holly looked at Erin and said, "Erin, don't worry. My friend in Aunder said that Tony is a trustworthy guy! He said
After Erin and Holly got dressed, Mrs. Blossom took them to the club's VIP private room.When they entered the room, Mrs. Blossom said to Holly, "I think I picked the wrong thing for you to wear. You look too old in this. I can't embarrass Tony. Come with me, and we'll get you changed into another outfit."Holly secretly cursed. She said unhappily, "No need to go through all the trouble. What I'm wearing is fine.""Tony specifically instructed me to pay attention to your outfits, but you think it's troublesome? How do you think I feel? If you don't want to change, call him and tell him yourself," Mrs. Blossom said with a cold sneer. She even took her phone out and passed it to Holly.Holly sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go with you!" Then, she turned to Erin. "Erin, do you want to come with me?""Sure.""What sort of attitude is this?" Mrs. Blossom asked, displeased. "Are you two conjoined twins? What type of place do you think the King Midas Club is? We are a legitimate place!
