"I know you still don't know me. But we have all the time to get to know each other. Just give me a chance." Of course, Clifford was reluctant to give up on a beautiful woman like Maya.Paulo squinted as he fixed his gaze on Clifford. He warned him in an eerily cold voice, "Clifford, you'd better get the hell out of here before I get mad."After Chandler left, the special forces and police left the hotel. Paulo's men then walked into the lobby.Clifford turned around and saw that the situation was not progressing as he imagined. He gave in for the time being and said, "Alright. I know you guys are not in a good mood today. I'll visit you another day."His words did not make Paulo and Maya stop in their tracks at all. Both of them left the lobby in a hurry.After they left, Clifford glared at Angela with a cold gaze. "I'll remember everything that happened today! You'd better watch it! Don't think that your sister will be safe just because she's in jail. If you have my back up agai
Paulo came to Chandler's villa alone at 7:00 pm the following night. He wanted to see Erin.Trent had just left the study on the second floor after informing Chandler and Erin.They were both on the couch and reading books about how to make a person's alternate personality disappear.Asa was still staying at Quentin's new villa. Quentin said Asa's mental state had not been great for the past few days. He had been spending most of his time in the training room. He did not even go to school.Their son was not willing to go to school, but they could not force him to go either.Erin's eyes were filled with sorrow when she looked at him. She asked, "Chandler, what should we do if Dani keeps refusing to leave our son's body?""Let's not think too much about it. I told you I'll talk to him. I hope it'll be a little effective." Chandler closed the book.He paused for a few seconds before he asked, "Paulo is downstairs now. Do you want to meet him? I'm guessing he's here to apologize."
At 10:00 pm, Chandler and Dani were sitting across from each other in the dining room of the new villa. They had a man-to-man talk.Chandler had a glass of whiskey on the rocks in front of him while Dani had a glass of juice.Dani had a look of disgust as he glanced at the juice. He kept spinning a pen with his left hand while looking right at Chandler."I heard you've recovered your memories." Dani looked a little serious."That's right. I've recovered my memories. But why are you still here?" Chandler took a sip of his whiskey.His words made Dani's expression turn colder. He replied, "How can I leave when Noah is still at large?""I can take care of capturing Noah. You don't have to worry."Dani smirked. "Who knows if something will happen to you again? This family needs a man."Chandler could not help but laugh. "You're a kid who's not even seven yet. You don't even have any stubble. Yet, you're already calling yourself a man?"His mocking remark did not make Dani angry.
Three days later, it was time for the final hearing of Ian's will.Previously, Mary was not satisfied with the division of her son's inheritance. Not only did she get someone to create a fake notarial deed, but she got herself a lawyer to defend her.But in the end, the court ruled that Mary's document was invalid. She was fined 200 thousand dollars as well.Erin and Simon appeared in court. The other inheritor, Yvette, did not appear.Yvette had been drowning in scandals for the past two days. Someone reported her and said she had hidden drugs in the lounge of the set. The authorities indeed found drugs on the set, so Yvette was immediately detained.Irving had bailed her out for the time being, but Yvette did not dare to make an appearance in public.At that moment, Mary was angry at the results of the hearing, but could only hold herself back and say nothing. That was what her lawyer kept reminding her to do—to not cause a scene in court or she would end up with even more
While Erin was on her way home, she was surprised to get a call from Sean.This was the first time Sean contacted him ever since he left the party in anger.Paulo had left already, but Sean was based in the city. There was no way to erase all the awkward things that had happened in the past, but it was not bad enough for them to cut ties because of that."Sean, do you need something?" Erin was not polite to him.Even if Maya was impersonating her back then, Maya said Sean kissed her back that night. In other words, Sean was actually kissing Erin back.But her husband, Chandler, was Sean's childhood friend!That showed that Sean was actually not a righteous man."You don't seem to welcome my call," Sean said as he was a little unhappy.Erin sneered. "There's nothing to welcome or not welcome about it. Go ahead if you have something to say. If you don't, I'm hanging up.""Erin, you don't have to be in such a hurry to distance yourself from me. After I found out the woman that ni
Half an hour later, Maya appeared in Sean's private room in a cap and mask.As soon as she entered the room, he pulled her into his arms and pinned her against the wall.The private room was very dark. She could only sense a figure was there. She could not see the person's face at all."Sean, is that you?" Maya's heart was pounding. Her tone was filled with excitement and also a little bashfulness.He lowered his head and kissed her cheek. Breathing his hot breath onto her skin, a wicked grin appeared on his face. "It's me. Do you really want to become my woman?"After she confirmed it was Sean's voice, Maya's uneasiness immediately disappeared. She hesitated and said, "But Clifford has already—"He pressed his index finger on her lips and stopped her from continuing. He whispered to her, "I don't care! If you want it, I can help you punish him!""Really? Sean, are you really willing to help me?" Maya could not help but get a little gentler when she was facing the man she liked.
At 12:00 pm the following day, Chandler and Erin met Roman and his new wife at Ryder's private restaurant.Roman and a very young lady walked into the private room.Chandler and Erin looked at them at the same time."Look at you go! You actually got married so suddenly! At first, Erin and I thought you were joking." Chandler stood up, so Erin followed suit.Roman waved and said, "No need to be so polite. Have a seat. Let me introduce you to my new wife, Ingrid Lyle. She's in her senior year in college. She's studying to be a makeup artist in film and TV."He turned to his wife and said, "Ingrid, this is my good friend, Chandler, the president of Frost Corporation. You can call him Mr. Frost. And this is his wife, Erin, the vice president of a design company. You can call her Ms. Lane."Erin burst out laughing after she heard Roman's introduction. "Oh, don't poke fun at me, Roman. I'm just a vice president in name only. I hardly go to the office. Caleb's usually the one working."
The truth was that there wasn't a miraculous love story between Ingrid and Roman. The story she told Erin and the rest was no more than a premeditated lie. The relationship between Ingrid and Roman was a business agreement.Around two months ago, Roman met Ingrid at a party. Roman was offered one too many drinks by a director friend of his. Coincidentally, there were exactly the same amount of women as there were men. Roman had felt that the party was not right. But it was too late for him to leave.In the end, he left the party with Ingrid to help her. Ingrid was a student who was blindly dragged along to the party to keep the men company. After that, they went to his hotel room. He had her stay in the room a while, then asked his assistant to bring her home. But something unexpected happened. Ingrid did not leave the room that night. Roman woke up the next morning to see Ingrid sleeping next to him.He understood what had happened when he saw the messy bed. Ingrid told him t
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
