"Crap! How did I end up as your maid?" Erin asked but did not object. The Lehman sisters and her were disguised as ordinary people that day anyway.Erin was dressed in tacky clothes and looked like she was from the countryside. She looked like she was around 40 years old as well.She suddenly thought of something. She asked with great curiosity, "Killian, how did you recognize me when I'm dressed like this today?"Killian replied calmly, "It's true that I can't recognize your face, but I looked into the car you guys were driving. I found out it belonged to Chandler.""Wow! Chandler has so many cars, but you still knew it was his car. It looks like you're quite capable," Erin praised him.Killian rolled his eyes at her compliment. He thought that Erin was just stating the obvious because he used to be in the special forces in the past."Erin, you'll have to use your talent as an actress when we meet Luke later. Help me take a close look at his expression."His reminder made Erin
"Killian, let's go to Carwich Garden in Belaie City immediately. It'd be best if we can get there before Luke," said Erin.Killian smiled at her. "Erin, we'll have to ask a favor from your husband this time."Chandler was the easiest person for them to contact who could immediately deploy a military helicopter. After Killian told Erin why, she called Chandler without hesitation and told him about the situation.Chandler did not argue with her. He just asked her to wait for his call.Within half an hour, two military helicopters landed on the restaurant's rooftop. That was all the helicopters the rooftop could fit.Before they took off, Erin told Calla about the situation. She asked Calla to have someone look into the basement as soon as possible.At first, they did not care that much about the basement. Yet, after seeing Luke's reaction, they were sure that the basement was the key!When the helicopter was about to take off, Killian said he wanted to visit the restroom. Howeve
Ex-husband? Inheritance?It was then that Erin learned the caller was referring to Ian's mother—Mary.Erin recalled what Ryder had previously told her. He had bumped into Mary while she tried to take her life by jumping into a river. It seemed that it was still because of Erin's money that Mary swallowed the sleeping pills."Hello! Erin, are you still listening?" Mary's niece, Britney Cooper, shouted."I am. You said it yourself that Ian was my ex-husband. So who could Mary still be my mother-in-law?" Erin asked.Britney was annoyed. "Fine, my bad! My aunt is in the hospital now. She was cheated out of her money. Are you going to do something about it?""Look, Erin, you have to live with a conscience. Ian left you with such a huge fortune back then, and you took it without saying anything. So, you can't just not care about my aunt's survival. If not, Ian's going to haunt you," said Britney.Erin found her hilarious. She did not wish to argue with her, so she only said, "Wyatt
Chandler put his phone into his pocket after he saw a text from Erin. He took his last puff of smoke, put the cigarette out, and looked up at Roman."Roman, Erin loves me very much, but she still can't forgive me after I failed to find her back then," said Chandler.At the mention of that, Roman immediately thought of Erin being abducted and disfigured back then, and his eyes dulled. "Did she tell you that herself?"Chandler smiled miserably. "No. How could she possibly tell me? I figured that out from her conversation with the Lehman sisters.""What do you think about that?" asked Roman.An incredibly helpless and miserable smile remained on Chandler's face as he looked into Roman's eyes."What can I think about it? I just feel a deep sorrow. What should I do to make up for the trauma she experienced?"Chandler's fathomless gaze darkened. His voice got a little airy as he continued, "I thought she would forget the past after all that we've been through together. It's a pity tha
A shouting match broke out in the ward of a hospital half an hour later.Mary had her stomach pumped because she had swallowed half a bottle of sleeping pills. But at that moment, she was shouting at Erin like a shrew."Erin, you're so disdainful. Who do you take me for? Do you think I've never seen money in my life before?"Anger filled Mary's eyes as she shouted, "You're giving me 100 thousand dollars? Am I a beggar to you? If you have a conscience, give me my son's inheritance!"Mary looked pale as she sat on the bed in her hospital gown. Her niece, Britney, was standing next to her.The debit card and supplements Erin brought were on the floor after Mary threw them away.Calla stood in front of Erin as she had just blocked the boxes that came flying in her direction.Erin's expression darkened after she saw a few boxes of supplements hit Calla's arm. She was so angry at the unappreciative Mary that she was left speechless."Erin, you can't blame my aunt for being angry. I'd
How could Erin not help May when Charlotte said she would beg her on her knees?Even if Erin wanted to ignore them, her mother would not approve.Cherry stood up and played the role of a mediator. "Erin, Charlotte hardly begs others for help, so just help May, alright?"Erin sighed. "Alright. I'll find time to talk to Eugene. But I can only relay your message since this is a matter of the relationship between them. Whether Eugene still wants to continue with the wedding or not is out of my hands.""I understand. Thank you so much, Erin! I'll leave it to you, then. I'll be waiting for your good news," Charlotte replied.After they said their goodbyes, Erin and Candra left the ward. Cherry also left the hospital five minutes later.At that moment, May took off her earphones. With a pale face and a slightly resentful tone, she said, "Erin's probably overjoyed to see me in such a mess."Charlotte handed the peeled apple to May and sneered. "It doesn't matter. As long as she's willin
"What? He's dead?" Erin could not believe her ears at all.Killian's voice was cold as he replied, "Yes. I was in my car when I saw his body being carried out of a hotel."Erin felt that the case was getting more and more complicated. She immediately told Killian about the basement."I think your analysis is not wrong. Luke definitely wasn't working alone, and he likely had more than one accomplice."Killian paused before he continued, "The people who helped Luke move everything out of the basement and the people who killed him were probably from the same gang. It seemed that they were afraid he might leak some secret. That was why he was suddenly killed."His words made Erin feel that Luke's murder was nothing simple as well. "Killian, do you think Luke's death will reveal a bigger case?" she asked."Hmph! Isn't it obvious? I'm even more determined to get to the bottom of this now after Luke's dead," said Killian.Erin frowned and pondered for a moment. "You should try to find
The last thing Erin said made tears well up in Holly's eyes. With a miserable smile, Holly asked, "Really? What did you buy?"Erin shook her head. "It's not something that was bought. You and Simon are not short on money. I feel it's meaningless to buy you something. I wrote a love story for the both of you."Erin walked up to her desk, took out a handbound book from the drawer, and handed it to Holly."I bound this book myself. I bought some binding tools online. It's not perfect, but I think you'll like it," said Erin.Holly finally could not hold back her tears anymore. She then started reading the first page.She only got to the fifth page, but she did not dare to continue flipping through it anymore."Erin, I'll stop reading it. Just tell me the ending, alright?" Holly hung her head and gripped the book tightly. Erin wrapped her arm around her shoulder and said softly, "I think you know what the ending is. Holly, Simon really isn't suitable for you. If you really married a
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
