In under an hour, Simon and Erin arrived at the jewelry store.Coincidentally, the designer Niall was present at the flagship store. Upon learning from the staff that a significant customer was coming to purchase an engagement ring, Niall personally greeted them. It was all because Simon had intended to acquire one of Niall's unique creations. Upon spotting Simon, Niall extended his hand. "Hello, I'm Niall. Are you Mr. Frost, who once bought 'Only Love'?"Simon smiled politely. "Yes, I am indeed that Mr. Frost. You're the designer adamant about not altering the ring, right?""It seems I've become notorious," Niall chuckled. His self-deprecating humor failed to win over Erin. She'd scolded him earlier, and this reunion was bound to be awkward.At the moment, Erin wore a strained expression.Niall focused on Erin, "Mrs. Frost, there's no need to be nervous. I've forgiven you. You're not the first client to scold me," He said with a smile.The way he let bygones be bygones surpris
Niall's offer was quite tempting. However, Erin felt conflicted. She worried that trying on the ring might upset Holly if she ever found out.She asked, "Mr. Lynd, why do you insist that I try it on? If Ms. Green likes it, why can't you modify it for her?"At this moment, Niall was no longer as accommodating as before. He stood up and said, "Mrs. Frost, this pink diamond is part of my private collection, and I can continue to keep it. I'm in no hurry to sell it. If you're not willing, I won't force you. You could wear 'Only Love,' so I was just curious to see if you could also wear 'First Love' or not."Simon shared the same curiosity. Even Erin began to look at her own hands with a sense of bewilderment.Her fingers were long, slender, and fair. She could be a hand model. However, Erin was somewhat skeptical of Niall’s proposition. She asked, "Is this pink diamond ring different from the heart-shaped diamond ring?""Yes, they're different," he replied. His gaze was calm but cer
Three days later, May and Eugene held their wedding reception in an Eupathean-style villa located in the city.Erin didn't intend to attend the wedding initially. But after receiving five calls from Cherry at different times, she reluctantly agreed. Cherry was adamant about maintaining their fickle and superficial family relations.Since Charlotte's daughter was getting married, Grayson would undoubtedly be present. Gavin, being Grayson and Cherry's son, had to attend as well.Cherry didn't want Charlotte to talk behind their backs and criticize them for not showing up. So, she dragged Erin along to attend the wedding.The event was not open to the media. May invited her friends from the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, Eugene invited his friends from other rich families.To show off that she'd found her happiness, May even invited Holly, who was Eugene's ex-wife.Holly had told Erin that she and Simon would be attending together. May's deliberate act of provocation didn't inti
In the banquet hall, there were less than two hundred attendees. Considering May's status as a female celebrity, the event was relatively low profile. The reason behind this was that Eugene's parents didn't want a grand ceremony. They were more traditional and disapproved of their son marrying a woman from the entertainment industry. Still, due to May's pregnancy and their desire for a grandchild, Eugene's parents agreed to the marriage ultimately.May had been the subject of numerous scandals about her being a mistress. In view of her past relationship history, marrying into a wealthy family like Eugene's was considered quite good for her. Moreover, she wasn't getting any younger and had experienced multiple miscarriages. When she learned about her pregnancy this time, she urged Eugene to marry her right away. Eugene agreed because he wanted to have a taste of having a celebrity as a wife.Since May was carrying his child, he'd met his parents' expectations of having a gra
Witnessing this scene made Erin's blood boil instantly. Cold sweat broke out in the palm of her hand. She didn't know what had happened to the woman who had been dragged inside.Was she dead? Was someone trying to assault her? Maybe someone was harming her right now!Her rational mind told her to stop and call for help, but her impulsive sense of justice reminded her that time was running out! What if the woman was killed during the time when she tried to get help?Soon, various horrifying scenarios flooded her mind.Erin gritted her teeth and decided to go check it out herself. She quickly took out a lipstick from her purse. It was one of the mini self-defense weapons that Paulo had given her.As she walked over, she scanned her surroundings for anyone passing by. She could ask them to accompany her for good measure.There was no time to go back and ask Chandler for help! Moreover, he was trying to prevent May's scandalous video from being played in the banquet hall.Erin was
As Erin and Simon stepped out of the guest room, she asked, "Why weren't you with Holly?"He explained, "I came to find her. She left right after taking a phone call. I felt uneasy, so I went to look for her. That's when I ran into you.""Oh my! You should go find her quickly, then!" She felt a bit guilty, realizing that she'd delayed Simon.Seeing Erin's troubled expression, he reassured her, "I think she should be fine. Don't worry too much. We'll talk later.""Alright, go find her."After they parted ways, Erin headed back into the banquet hall. When she went back to her table, she didn't spot Chandler anywhere.Ten minutes later, May and Eugene appeared together. As the music played, everyone stood up and applauded them. Erin kept looking in different directions but still didn't see Chandler. She couldn't help but feel a bit worried.Soon, everyone took their seats.The emcee on stage began narrating the romantic love story between Eugene and May. Of course, their story w
Hearing that the lipsticks helped Holly escape unscathed, Erin felt thankful that she'd made a good decision back then. "Luckily, I gave you those three lipsticks! But we should also thank Paulo. He's the one who gifted them to me.""Thanking you is just the same. After all, he gave them to you, and you gave them to me!" Holly said smilingly.Then, she linked arms with Erin. She was oozing with confidence. "Erin, when we get back to the hall later, get ready to enjoy the show. I already know who called me earlier—"Erin was about to ask who it was when she received a call from Hans. He hardly ever called her if there wasn't something important. She answered immediately. At the same time, she felt her left eyelid twitch suddenly.A sense of foreboding crept over her."Hans, what's the matter?"Hans' voice sounded solemn over the phone. "Mrs. Frost, there's something I must tell you. It requires your decision."Erin's eyes darkened. "Please go on.""Mr. Frost and I were on our wa
The good news gave Erin a glimpse of hope. That meant the person who captured Chandler would not notice the existence of the chip!They would not find it even if they scanned his body with an electronic device."How do we check his location?" asked Erin.Alan gave it a thought and replied, "Chandler didn't tell me how exactly we can check it. But he did say you're the only one in this world who could find him."Erin was lost in thought. She thanked Alan and hung up.What exactly did Chandler mean?She hung her head as she held Chandler's phone. For a moment, she was at a loss for what to do next.At that moment, a ray of light reflected off the phone. It suddenly hit her—she was the only one who knew the passcode of his phone.Did that mean she could track him down with his phone?Erin turned on his phone once again. Then, one by one, she started inspecting all of the installed apps.Chandler had very few apps installed. He hardly used social media apps, nor did he play games
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
