When Chandler yelled out Erin's name, Louis looked at her once more. She looked extremely young, like she was only in her twenties.His heart hurt terribly. This lady was not his Adeline.There was a moment under the dim purple lights where he thought he had traveled back through time and saw his dead wife, but the reality was always ruthless. Before waiting for Chandler to attack, Louis had already let go of Erin. Guilt evident in his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry, I am indeed mistaken."Chandler lowered his fists, strode over to Erin, and grabbed her by the wrist. He glared at Louis and smiled sardonically. He said curtly, "Louis, seeing how much you love your late wife, I'll let it go this time! If you dare to touch my woman again, don't blame me for being unfriendly!"Then, Chandler pulled Erin along and headed out of the room.Tony was so frightened he didn't dare to let out a single breath. With the bodyguards standing by the side of the corridors armed with batons and daggers,
"Punishment? What punishment?" In fact, Erin wanted to ask why she was being punished.Chandler looked at her and said rather suggestively, "Oh, you'll find out soon." With one hand, he clasped both her hands above her head and pressed his lips against hers. Erin finally realized that when he said punishment, he meant sex. She resisted him instinctively. Whenever Chandler wanted to have sex with her, she couldn't help but think how low she had stooped, becoming his sex toy.Her resistance made Chandler furrow his brow. Their lips parted. He grabbed her by the chin with his other hand and said menacingly, "Don't you see how useless it is resisting me? This game of yours should stop! Unless you like being forced upon?"Erin instantly blushed at what he said. She yelled, "How dare you! You know that I'm being forced by you. How could you say that about me?" She instantly felt aggrieved, and tears started to well up in her eyes. It was an eyesore to Chandler. The hotness of his gaze
"What?" Erin thought she misheard him.Her surprise looked like disappointment in Caleb's eyes. If he had made the right guess, that wouldn't be her reaction.He lowered his gaze and said calmly, "It's nothing. I was just joking.""Joking?" Erin was still a little confused, but Caleb had already changed the topic. "What would you like to eat? I've already ordered some food. Have some with me. If you don't think it's enough, we can order more."Erin shook her head at Caleb, who passed the menu to her. She said, "It's my treat! You paid for coffee last time."Caleb found it hard to accept her way of thinking. He said with a smile, "You don't have to count down to the penny with me. Do you think I'd be so broke that I can't afford to buy you a meal? If that's the case, it would humiliate me as the director!Erin immediately explained, "Mr. Grant, don't take this the wrong way! That's not my intention! I just think that as colleagues, we should pay for ourselves."What she said in
"Are you calling me crazy? Do you want to see crazy? I'll show you crazy!"Chandler picked the squirming Erin up and headed to the sofa. He threw her violently on it, and Erin landed painfully. Before she could get up, Chandler flipped her over and pinned her down with his knees pressing onto her.Before she could even react, she felt a burning slap on her butt. She screamed in pain, and her cheeks instantly reddened.She was so stunned that she was speechless at the thought that Chandler had actually spanked her."Chandler, what the hell is wrong with you? Why are you hitting m—"Another slap came raining down before she could finish her sentence. She was furious and humiliated. She was no longer a child. Even her parents had never spanked her before!After her parent's divorce, her mother felt she owed her a perfect family, so she never hit her. She was almost 25, yet a man was spanking her!Chandler said nothing and continued spanking her. He was gradually getting addicted to
Hearing Chandler's question, Caleb caught himself and strode stiffly into the office. He saw the man's handsome face and felt jealous for the first time. He acted calm as he neared Chandler's desk and placed the document on it.Choking down his rage, he didn't know he was angry at Chandler for treating Erin so or at her for acting like a whore.Chandler pretended to look at the document and asked with feigned concern, "What's the matter? You don't look good. Were you embarrassed by what you saw just now?" Caleb tried to hide his emotions. "I'm only Erin's boss in the design department, not her boyfriend or husband. What rights do I have to be upset?" he thought.He answered coldly, "Thanks for your concern, but I'm fine.""Caleb, I know you're conservative when it comes to relationships, so I won't impose my views on you. What happened just now was my mistake. I indulge Erin too much, and she keeps coming here to keep me company. Even though I've let her join Frost Corporation,
Caleb's angry expression made Erin's heart race. She looked at the handsome man with her swollen eyes and felt a mix of emotions, mostly sadness. "Do you believe everything that I told you?" she asked. With a cold look that betrayed his sympathy and anger, Caleb held Erin's hand and said somewhat emotionally, "Of course I do! I know what kind of a person my cousin is better than you…He must have acted like so after learning that I tried to date you, and he sent me the text so that I could see what was going on and back out. But now that I know the truth, I'm not going to give you up!" With her eyes sparkling with tears, she said, "Caleb, I'm grateful enough that you choose to believe me. Thank you so much for that…" Hearing him calling his name, Caleb was pleased. "Erin, what did you call me?" She looked at him and repeated his name.Caleb happily held her between his arms, and his heart raced as he took in Erin's mild scent. Carried away, he raised Erin's chin and lowere
What he said made Erin let out a cold chuckle. "Chandler, won't my presence here annoy you?" Hearing her mockery, Chandler got up and walked to her back. Bending over with his hands propped on both sides of her, he brought his face close to her neck and smiled. "It's none of your concern." As she heard his magnetic voice, his breath fell on her neck, and Erin shuddered and dared not to move lest they would touch. "Erin, aren't you supposed to thank me for allowing you to work so near to me?" His lips drew near her neck… Unable to stand his seductive voice, she felt her whole scalp tingling. She tried to get up, but Chandler pressed her back to her seat. He nibbled her reddened earlobe, and Erin bit her lower lip to stop herself from making a sound.Chandler gripped her neck and warned coldly, "Don't be ungrateful. Not any woman could bask in the glory of becoming my assistant trainee, okay?""I don't fucking care about it!" Erin snarled. His grip tightened as he narrowed h
At that moment, Erin was the only person left in the office. As Chandler never said he needed her to translate the agreement urgently, she wanted to leave as well. "I'm not going to work overtime for someone like him!" she thought. She took her purse and wanted to go meet her coworkers.Milly and Ella had sent her text messages, saying they had something important to tell her.When Erin was about to leave, she received a call from an unknown number. "Erin, you're so busy, huh? I sent you a few messages, but you never replied. Don't tell me your account got hacked?"Surprised that the caller was Sean, she asked, "How come you have my number?" Playing poker at his friend's private club, he had a cigarette in his mouth. "It's easy to get a phone number, okay?""Have you received the jacket that I sent back?""Yes, but it seems to be torn…"Erin frowned. "That's impossible! Even if it was torn, I had nothing to do with it. You should ask the courier company to compensate you."
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. Whil
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. What should I do?" she asked."Does Master reall
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. "Yes. Did it d
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? Are you two pigs? The rehearsal is about to start," Ryder pointed out."W
