Chapter 689 Finding Joy in Hardship

Author: Simone Hastings
One hour later, Erin sat in a private room in a luxurious bar. She watched as Killian drank whiskey for a full ten minutes.

During these ten minutes, Killian hadn't said a word. Erin couldn't tell what he was thinking from his face.

Calla and Candra sat at the table at the other end of the room. They ate their beef tartare in silence and occasionally glanced in Erin and Killian's direction.

Killian didn't ask them to leave. In fact, he had placed that small wooden table for Calla and Candra in the room so they could watch over Erin. This way, they wouldn't be anxious about Erin's safety.

Erin, on the other hand, didn't touch the tartare. She had ordered a plate of pasta and had finished her meal. Holding her glass of water, she started to feel a bit bored.

She had been prepared to lend an ear. But when she arrived, Killian stayed mum in his seat and had yet to speak.

It was one thing to console someone going through a breakup. However, dealing with a family member's death was a

    After glancing at Erin, Killian took a file from his backpack and handed it to her. He said, "I've already found the killer who murdered Dalia. This scum is called Spencer Warner, and I dealt with him in my own way. "But he had an accomplice, a man who didn't commit the murders but concealed the evidence of Spencer's crimes. "This man has been protecting Spencer. He's the reason the police haven't arrested Spencer. "That accomplice is Chandler's uncle, Andrew."Upon hearing that, Erin immediately opened the file to take a look. When she saw some of the photos inside, her stomach turned. They were pictures of human organs. Although only a part of them was shown, it was gruesome enough for Erin to quickly skip past and not look at them again.Killian's eyes were filled with a chilling, murderous intent. He said in a low voice, "I found Dalia's right hand that Spencer cut off back then. I've already had it cremated and buried in Dalia's grave back in her hometown."Upon see

    "Chandler, will Uncle Andrew's situation affect Frost Corporation's reputation?" Erin was a bit worried. After all, Andrew was a member of the Frost family."It might. But the gutter rats who try to make an issue out of this won't cause much trouble. I've asked Kyle to start preparing for it. Has Killian left?"Erin replied, "Yes, he left. I'm on my way home with Calla and Candra.""I just didn't expect that Vanda was with Uncle Andrew. I wonder if Simon knows about this. "The police have taken Vanda in for questioning. Simon might have to make a trip to Belaie City. "Vanda is his mother, after all. It's best if she can be released on bail. If not, we'll have to figure something else out," Chandler said with concern.Erin thought the same. She sighed, "Andrew raised Simon since he was a child. Now that he's in trouble, Simon is probably the most upset. No matter what, Andrew is his foster father.""Yeah, this might hit Simon hard. I'll give him a call now. Let's talk after you

She was very concerned that her mother's health might be permanently affected. Erin was also afraid of Cherry not being able to recover well.The nursing home's director was in the office discussing Cherry's health with Chandler, while Erin stayed in the ward with her.Not long after, Erin found an excuse to go and find Chandler.

    One minute later, Chandler and Erin's back were no longer in sight down the hallway. Paulo returned to Maya's ward and closed the door with a stern expression.His anger welled up bit by bit. He was infuriated at his sister Maya, who was injured yet unrelenting with her words.After suppressing the flame of anger that burned bright in his heart, he looked up at Maya. She seemed quite displeased as well."Maya, I know you care about me. But let me make this clear: my relationship with Erin is not something you should interfere with! Do you understand?"Paulo's tone held no room for negotiation or argument; it was a command and a warning.Maya felt resentful. Even so, out of respect for Paulo's authority as her brother, she turned her head without saying a word.Since she hadn't given a verbal agreement, he asked again, "Have I made myself clear?""Yeah," Maya replied impatiently. But her voice was soft, as she still held some reverence for her older brother. Besides her best fr

    When Asa explained why he had taken leave, Erin was so shocked that her mind went blank!She was unable to process what she had heard for a few seconds. By the time she snapped back to her senses to ask for more details, Asa said he had to go and hung up in a hurry.Erin was unsure whether she should call again. If she called again, would it expose her son's whereabouts?The issue was that she had no idea about Asa's current situation. Thus, Erin could only inform Chandler of what he said he was up to.Chandler immediately suggested leaving the nursing home. And so, the two cars quickly departed.In the car, Chandler used his phone to track Asa's location.After checking the location, he said, "Erin, don't worry too much. Asa is growing up and handling things differently now. "We should trust him. I've already locked onto his location. We're not far away. We'll be there in about 40 minutes."Erin gradually relaxed.

    Half an hour later, when Erin contacted Ryder again, he declined Erin's call.Before Erin could dial again, Ryder sent a text message: "Meet you in five minutes."Five minutes later, Erin and Chandler met up with Ryder and Asa. They were in an underground parking lot of a shopping mall. Asa seemed a little disappointed.After getting out of the car, Chandler walked over to Erin's side and helped her to get out. Ryder looked at them and said, "I was careless. They detected my presence, and the assassin did not show up.""Uncle Ryder, just let me handle it myself next time!" Asa said with a slightly resentful tone."What do you mean next time? You, a child, are risking your life to catch an assassin! Are you trying to scare me to death?" Erin scolded right away.Asa lowered his head slightly. His voice was soft as he said, "Mom, I know what I'm doing …""Even if that's the case, there's no next time! Ryder was with you this time.

    Erin said what Ingrid had been hoping to hear. For a moment, Ingrid found it hard to believe.She stared at Erin intently, wondering if Erin meant what she had said.There was a mixture of relief and faint worry in Ingrid's eyes. She hesitated for a few seconds before asking, "Do you mean it?""Yes." Erin stood up, not wanting to stay any longer.After all, Erin made that promise so that Ingrid would have peace of mind despite it going against her true wishes.She glanced at Ingrid's visibly pregnant belly, which was even larger than hers. Erin let out a helpless sigh deep in her heart.Right then, Erin made up her mind to go through with her promise for the sake of Roman and Ingrid's child."Erin, I hope you won't blame me for being selfish." Ingrid felt a sense of guilt for asking this of Erin.Erin replied calmly, "Don't feel bad, Ingrid. I know you love Roman very much. If I were in your shoes, I might have the same concerns.

    As soon as Kylan finished speaking, he took out his phone. After that, he opened an app and pressed a button, which caused the front door of the gym to close."If you don't clear things up, I won't open the door. If you get hungry, go to the kitchen and find something to eat. The six of us can survive here for three days without starving."Candra had been watching the commotion from the side. Kylan's words prompted her to ask immediately, "Mr. Knight, are you really not going to open the door? "Mr. Frost will be back from Belaie City tonight. The first person he'll look for when he returns is Mrs. Frost!"Adding on to what Candra said, Calla stated, "We'll be leaving before nightfall."Ryder glared at Kylan angrily. "Don't be childish, Kylan! Open the door! I want to get out!"Killian glanced at Ryder helplessly. "Do you really hate me that much? Also, have you forgotten the fact that my father just passed away?"There was a touch of loneliness in his eyes as he asked that ques

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?
