The fleeting cruelty in Chandler's eyes had Erin's heart racing. Yes, Yvette was a terrible person, but she didn't deserve death. Erin had never considered having the woman killed. She could simply sever ties with Yvette, and they would never see each other again."Don't do anything that goes against the law! I don't want Yvette to die," Erin reminded Chandler out of fear that the man might go too far.After all, she couldn't guarantee Yvette wouldn't try to do something immoral again. She also couldn't keep an eye on Chandler all the time.He was surprised as he flashed her a mocking smile. "Your sister is blatantly harming you. And yet, you continue to protect her. Do you see yourself as Mother Mary, Erin?"She sucked in a breath. "We don't get to pick what families we're born into. I can't deal with Yvette the same way I throw out trash. Evelyn treated you just as coldly, Chandler. You should know best what it is I'm feeling."He fell silent for a moment. His expression darkene
There was nearly half a minute of silence on the other end of the line. Chandler was in no hurry to speak. He patiently waited for Angela, who hadn't hung up, to speak.Angela responded a whole minute later. "That's right. When Evelyn took a tumble, my dad slapped me and told me to my face that he no longer recognized me as his daughter. That damned old man. Now that he knows about Clifford and Elina, he doesn't care about Alana and me anymore …"Both Chandler and Erin could hear Angela's despair and pain. She had a falling out with her father shortly after her mother's death. She must've already hit rock bottom."You need to calm down and show yourself to be a capable leader! Evelyn is making a fool of your father. Can you not stay calm? Don't let Clifford and Elina take your position in the company. If they take half your shares, you'll receive a significant blow. You need money and power. Stop creating trouble for yourself! Before you find conclusive evidence of what caused your
He was Dani.Dani noticed Erin covering her mouth and looking as if she was going to burst into tears and broke free of Chandler's hold. Once he was grounded, he looked up. "It doesn't matter whether I'm Asa or Dani. You're still my mommy."The look in his eyes and the tone of his voice showed a maturity that a child under eight wouldn't normally possess.Chandler frowned and crossed his arms. He voiced his dissatisfaction. "What does that mean? You say she's your mother. So, why am I Mr. Frost?"Disdain appeared on Dani's face. He was a carbon copy of Chandler. He scoffed. "You're a man who lost his memories, Mr. Frost. What else can you do besides upset your son and wife? Recover your memories so Asa doesn't have to keep living in fear."He then walked toward Erin and whispered, "Are you hungry, Mommy? Can we go eat something?"Erin was experiencing some mixed emotions. She felt afraid to reach out to her son, who had seemingly changed overnight.Dani noticed her hesitation an
Erin strongly resisted Chandler's advances when he tried to kiss her again. She braced her hands in front of him and said in a cold voice, "I'm not joking, Chandler! Don't touch me!"Her rejection and disgust had Chandler instantly lose interest. He got up and left the bedroom without looking back.Her rejection hurt his pride. He didn't want to force himself on her. He would find himself pathetic if he did. He knew that her aversion was likely related to what happened between him and Yvette. There was still the suspicion of infidelity.Erin sat up after watching Chandler leave with the door slamming behind him. She felt uncomfortable. She knew her rejection had hurt him, but she couldn't lie to herself. Even if her heart said yes, her body screamed no. The piercing pain she experienced that night remained vivid in her memories.After all, Chandler's reasoning was nothing but speculation. It wasn't the truth. She sighed helplessly as guilt overtook her.If only he hadn't lost his
Yvette's attempt at defending herself had both Stefan and John thinking she had no shame. Did she think Chandler was an idiot?"Give me your phone," Chandler said expressionlessly.Stefan immediately handed it over with both hands. A bodyguard took it and handed it over to Chandler. Within half a minute, he used Stefan's phone and sent the recording to himself.He returned the phone to the bodyguard after he sent himself the recording. He then took out a debit card with one million dollars in it and tossed it on the ground. He said to Stefan, "I don't care why you have that recording, but what you have is of great use to me. Here's one million dollars. That'll be your brother's medical fees. I deleted the recording from your phone. I don't want to hear news about this getting out. Otherwise, you know what's going to happen.""Thank you, Mr. Frost! You have nothing to worry about! My brother and I won't say a word about this to anyone … We won't tell anyone about your memory loss to
After receiving the call from the mysterious man, Erin was now on her way. The man asked to meet her at a restaurant near the World Trade Center. The restaurant was located on the top floor of a building.She didn't know who the person was. He'd used a voice changer.The man didn't demand her to come alone. It was up to her to decide whether to bring bodyguards or not. He told her that if she had lunch with him, he would give her a gift.At first, Erin refused. But when the man mentioned that it was the video of Chandler and Yvette at the hotel that night, she agreed without hesitation.Since the meeting was in such a public place and he allowed her to bring bodyguards with her, she felt more secure.Calla and Candra went with her.Ryder tagged along too. Erin put a wireless earbud in her ear so that she could stay in touch with him at any time....Forty minutes later, Erin got out of the car in the underground parking lot with Calla and Candra. They walked together
Erin's expression became conflicted. The thought of someone watching a video involving her husband and her sister made her feel disgusted. She felt a strong aversion toward the video.Gunnar noticed her concern and explained, "Don't worry. Besides me, no one else has seen the video—not even the Internet café staff. I destroyed the video before he could see it. Besides the USB flash drive you have, I haven't made any backups."Erin felt puzzled. Gunnar should be itching to take Chandler down after he exposed the locations of his two armories to the Interpol. Still, instead of seeking revenge, he chose to destroy the video that implicated his enemy. Erin couldn't fathom what his ulterior motive was."Don't you hate Chandler? You suffered losses because of him. Why aren't you using this video to blackmail him?" Erin questioned.Gunnar shook his head and replied with a smile, "I knew it. People feel skeptical when someone like me decides to do a good deed. It's tough playing the go
Erin thought for a moment and said, "Let's go abroad as soon as possible. We'll take Asa with us, and you'll both get your respective treatments. "If you two don't get well, I'll feel anxious every day. I can't shake off this constant feeling that something worse might happen.""Don't change the subject. You still haven't explained why you went to meet Gunnar!" Chandler's tone of voice became even colder.Without saying a word, Erin took the USB drive from her bag and held it up for him to see."We'll watch this video together when we get home."He glanced at the USB drive with slight confusion. The next moment, what the USB drive contained dawned on him.Anyway, Chandler was now confident. He chuckled and said, "After watching the video, we'll do it."Erin looked at him with disgust. "Forget it. With your current condition, I don't feel like getting intimate with you.""Fuck!" His face darkened instantly as anger welled within him."Erin, if I don't get better, do you plan t
