Malyla stared at Engel, and she instantly got an answer to her question. As she had expected, there was something wrong with Engel's mind.Winema smiled and said, "It's fine. We don't mind. Malyla, take this young man out for some fun after dinner, but don't come back too late.""Alright, Mom." Malyla was delighted. She had not been comforted by Draco earlier, so she was going to get it all from this handsome young man that night.It was hot in the village, and Malyla's mind was so overwhelmed by the burning lust that she could not hold herself back anymore.Amayeta did not pay attention to Engel. Draco was the most handsome man in her eyes. She just kept getting more servings of the food for him.When Chandler found the right chance, he grinned and complimented, "Chieftess Winema, your daughter's husband is truly handsome! He's such a great match for your daughter. They'll definitely have beautiful children together in the future!"It was out of courtesy that Chandler lied throu
Engel's situation and Draco's special condition made everything even trickier.Erin said in concern, "What about Engel, Chandler?"Draco was going to be Winema's son-in-law soon, so he would not be in danger for the time being. But Engel was different. He had fallen into their trap!"Engel will be fine for now. He would just be locked up. If Amayeta is still unwilling to let Draco go after he gets his memories back, Engel would become their hostage to blackmail Draco. We can't help him now. We have to first leave this place to avoid all of us being caught," Chandler explained.His decisive plan gained Erin's support.They gave Ryder a call and agreed to meet behind a bush five minutes later. They did not want to alert the villagers, so Erin pretended that she needed to relieve herself and left.Meanwhile, Chandler pretended to be drunk. He then went downstairs to ask the guards for some water.The guard directed him to get water from the rest area in front. That was the spot for
Engel's mind went blank. He was at a loss for words for a moment.Malyla's infatuated gaze for him was filled with lust."What are you talking about?" Engel pushed her away coldly. If Draco was not in their hands, he would not bother talking to his unbelievable woman.The confusion and impatience in Engel's eyes made Malyla upset. Her face was slightly flushed as she said, "What's the point of you playing dumb now? We … already slept together last night."He'd slept with her?A frown immediately appeared on Engel's face. He recalled that he had dumped her behind a bush after knocking her out with a drug. That was the last time he saw her.Could it be that something had happened to her after that?"Last night … I …" Engel pretended to be a little unsure and looked slightly nervous.Malyla pushed his shoulder and pretended to be angry, saying, "You're so mean! You knocked me out on purpose last night because you wanted to sleep with me."She added, "Don't think that I don't know
Half an hour later, Engel disguised himself as a villager and covered his face with a cloth. He was dressed in indigenous clothing as he infiltrated the crowd attending the wedding.He kept looking through the crowd from time to time, trying to find Erin and the others.Engel felt troubled as he could not find Chandler and Ryder after going back and forth. Right as Engel was scanning the crowd, he succeeded in meeting Chandler's eyes.Engel had seen Chandler dressed this way before. They had discussed beforehand that they would use a new disguise if their cover was blown. Engel recognized Chandler's makeup as an old man at a glance.Engel signaled him with his eyes, and Chandler and Ryder immediately understood him.In less than three minutes, they met up by a big tree behind a wooden house.After they caught each other up, Chandler made a decision. "Ryder, I'll leave you in charge of looking for the village witch. No matter whether it's true that Draco is being poisoned, we shou
"Enough with the nonsense, Winema! Hurry up and tell me where the flying elephant statuette is!" Theodore gave her another aggressive whip.Winema was covered in blood, but she was stubborn. She refused to tell him the specific location of the statuette.The photos of Winema's forefathers were scattered all over the ground. Theodore had almost left no rock unturned, but he still could not find the rumored flying elephant statuette made of pure gold.He was even starting to question the truthfulness of the rumor. If the rumor was wrong, then he would have suffered in silence for two years for nothing.Winema was heartbroken as she looked at him. She was still not willing to believe everything before her eyes. That was until she saw her daughter, Amayeta, being dragged in and thrown on the ground."What are you doing? Chayton! I don't believe you'd do this to me! Are you in some kind of trouble?" Winema tried to tug at Theodore's heartstrings.Theodore said in annoyance, "Don't cal
Theodore pulled his hands back immediately, as if burnt, as soon as he heard Elliot's voice. Theodore looked embarrassed after his brother witnessed him acting like a pervert. But he still immediately raised his suspicion, "Elliot, this woman seems to be wearing a disguise."Elliot was confused. "What do you mean?""I mean it's very likely that this old lady is actually a young woman. The age of her appearance is fake. And if I saw it right, she's a pregnant woman."As soon as Theodore thought of the term "pregnant woman", he was reminded of the woman Winema mentioned to him. The one who wanted to do business with Winema.She said the woman was in her 40s and was pregnant.Theodore immediately asked, "Elliot, where did you capture this woman?"It seemed like Elliot could not hear his brother's question at all.Elliot had already walked up to the bed to verify his brother's speculation. He quickly lifted Erin's clothes, and as expected, he saw young and fair skin.He was rathe
Behind Chandler, Ryder reminded them, "We shouldn't stay here any longer. You can talk after we leave."The three of them left the room, and Erin saw Elliot on the floor after he was knocked unconscious.Within a minute, the three of them climbed down along the steel wire outside the house.The wooden house was in a great location as there were a few big trees outside the window. The four guards under the trees were all knocked out by Chandler and Ryder.After Chandler learned that Erin had only been captured by coincidence, he did not plan to take revenge on Theodore and Elliot. They only had one goal this whole time during this trip—to rescue Draco.Draco was already in the town at that moment. Kylan and the team of bodyguards were waiting for Erin, Chandler, and Ryder to return.Ten minutes later, Erin and Chandler hid themselves in a horse-drawn carriage. It was filled with the fresh flowers that were supposed to be used in Amayeta and Draco's wedding. Ryder sat next to the c
Simon entered the hotel room again 20 minutes later.He was beaming as he held the bunch of tulips, saying, "I've finally found them."After he put the tulips in the room, he raised a glass to Holly again. They clinked glasses, and Holly kept staring at him.Right as Simon's wine glass touched his lips, the nervous Holly suddenly said, "Simon! Let's exchange drinks."Simon was dazed as he thought she wanted to drink with their arms crossed like she once suggested.He nodded. "Alright."But that was not what Holly meant. She snatched his wine out of his hand and handed him her glass. Holly then down the glass of wine in one shot.At the critical moment, she still could not bear to let Simon have the wine that was spiked with the drug. She chose to have it herself.She had been longing to do the deed with Simon, but if she truly needed to use such a pathetic method, she would think of herself as a joke.When it came down to it, Simon was just a pitiful man. It was no easy feat 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
