Mandy's intense reaction clearly hinted at her guilt. "Why can't we report this to the police? Does Mr. Grant's fainting have something to do with you?" Erin stared into Mandy's eyes.Mandy had a complicated expression, showing a mixture of worry and fear. Her hands were visibly trembling, and she was unsure of where to place them.Seeing Mandy's conflicted and fearful look, Erin deduced that this matter had something to do with her.Erin adjusted her tone and reasoned with Mandy softly."Mandy, if you confess now, it'll be easier for everyone. If you choose to keep quiet, I'll have the inspectors ask you instead.""No, Mrs. Frost! I'll talk … I'll talk. A week ago, Mr. Grant's ex-wife contacted me. Ms. Louise had found out that I was the cleaning lady Mr. Grant hired. She asked to meet with me.""Is Irene back in the country?" Erin asked."Yes. She's currently living in Seaside City."Erin lowered her gaze for a moment. Then, she said, "Continue.""Ms. Louise said that even
Half an hour later, Ryder drove Erin to Twilight.As she got out of the car and looked at Twilight, she suddenly felt like she had stepped into a different time and place.Even though Twilight had undergone a complete renovation and transformation, it still reminded Erin of her first encounter with Chandler. Back then, she had offered five million to spend the night with him. Thinking of that, a faint smile appeared on her face. There was a complicated look in her eyes as nostalgia overcame her.Erin's reaction prompted Ryder to tease her, "What's this? Are you remembering the scenes from when you hired your husband's services?""How do you know about that?" Erin was surprised.Ryder glanced at her and continued walking ahead. "Come on, many people know about that. Do you think it's some kind of a secret?"Erin sighed, not bothering to say anything more.Once they entered, the manager in the lobby approached them.He immediately recognized Erin. Maya, who looked exactly lik
Sean's words made Erin laugh. "Until now, you still don't understand.""Understand what?" Erin didn't spare him a glance. She sighed and leaned against the elevator wall, looking helpless. "Sean, you already have Maya. You should be with her and leave the past behind. Chandler and I won't dwell on what happened last time. "Considering that you have helped us before, let's just move on with our lives and not get involved with each other.""Heh. Does he feel so noble saying that?" Sean's eyes flashed with disdain."You know he's not like that. We didn't have any major conflicts with you to begin with. Maya is Paulo's sister. If you find happiness together, we're also happy for you."Sean looked at her with reddened eyes and growled, "I don't want your blessings!"It left Erin speechless, and she fell silent. Sean was being childish. Neither she nor Chandler wanted to dwell on what happened last time, but Sean wasn't willing to let it go."You know why I chose Maya! You know
Before leaving the hall, Erin promised Sean that she would consider it seriously.It was difficult to reject Sean when he looked at her with so much sincerity and hope. Erin found herself hesitant to say no to him outright, even though she had decided to decline. She had to say she would consider it and give him a bit of hope. White lies like these were sometimes unavoidable.In truth, when Sean extended her the invitation, Erin did feel tempted for a brief moment.It had been over seven years since she had last acted. Furthermore, she wrote the script based on herself. Of course, she would be the most suitable candidate to play the female lead.But when she thought about her pregnancy and Chandler's icy demeanor, she changed her mind. She decided it was not to take up the role.She and Hans waited for Alan and Ryder in the car.Right then, Hans took the initiative to ask, "Mrs. Frost, are you really considering Mr. Dunn's suggestion?"Erin was checking the text message Candra
Chandler had already changed into black tactical gear at 3:30 am. He got on one knee and kissed Erin on her forehead.Erin was sound asleep. But when his lips left her forehead, she suddenly opened her eyes and woke up.Her big eyes were suddenly looking right at Chandler, which made him jump. Erin sat up and asked, "Why are you awake, Hubby?"The lights in the bedroom were dim, but she still noticed the unusual way he was dressed."I have something to take care of," he replied."Where are you going at this ungodly hour?" Erin's voice still sounded sleepy.Seeing that her eyes were still a little bloodshot, Chandler leaned in and kissed her forehead again. He said softly, "Be a good girl and go back to bed. I'll be back soon."As soon as he turned around, he realized she was grabbing his jacket's pocket with all her might. With a serious look, she said, "You're not allowed to leave! You have to tell me where you're going!"Chandler had no choice but to turn around. He smiled.
Two hours later, Erin and Chandler arrived at a prison in the city where Percival and Irving were held.After Chandler went in with his men, he arranged for Erin to take a break in a surveillance room. She was accompanied by the Lehman sisters.Before Chandler left the room, he kissed Erin and said, "Sit tight and wait for me here. I'll be back for you soon.""Go ahead. Be careful," Erin replied.After Chandler and the others left, Erin asked Calla, "I've not seen you for a few days, Calla. Where have you been?"Calla was also dressed in tactical gear. She replied, "I made a trip to Seaside City two days ago, Mrs. Frost. I found three suspicious basements, and I've already had someone investigating them. They will report to me once they get any reliable information.""What is that about?""It's about Killian's friend, Dalia."Erin nodded while lost in thought. "Mmhmm. That's great. Ryder's looking into that too. Let me know as soon as you find something."Calla nodded. "Don't
The short man did not dare to put his weapon down. "This is just a tranquilizer gun, captain.""Well, duh! I know that! I'm ordering you to lower your weapon!" the tall man bellowed.As the two of them were arguing, Erin pulled out her weapon and pointed at them.The tall man immediately said, "Don't fire, gorgeous. We're not bad people.""Who are you?" Erin looked calm and unafraid, but she was feeling a little nervous.The tall, brave man immediately showed his hands and said, "We're just waiting for the helicopter to arrive. A criminal will be sent to the hospital later."He paused before asking, "We're colleagues. Which team are you from?"The man's voice sounded familiar. Erin searched her memory while holding her gun, then a name suddenly popped into her head.She raised an eyebrow and called out, "Are you Calix?"Calix had felt Erin's figure was a little familiar, to begin with. After she asked that question, he was absolutely sure. "So you really are Erin."The short
Erin was stunned to hear a man's deep and pleasant voice coming from a beautiful woman's lips.It was only when the Lehman sisters banged on the car window that Erin suddenly snapped back to reality. "Fuck! It's you! Why did you lock the car? Hurry up and let them in! It's cold outside!""I have something to say to you, Erin. I don't want them to hear it. Tell them to take my car instead."Upon saying that, Killian put on his seat belt and drove off.Erin immediately called Calla when the Lehman sisters were about to run after the car."Calla, don't chase after the car. The woman in the car is Killian. He has something to say to me. Both of you take his car and follow us!"Calla watched the Jeep sped off while holding her phone. She turned to Candra and said, "Hurry up and follow their car!"The black car Killian left by the side of the road was a powerful modified BMW. Erin put away her phone and glanced at Killian. "You did that on purpose just now, didn't you?""Mmhmm. I'v
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
