It was embarrassing for Paulo to describe, but he still told them about what happened between Marley and him.It turned out that Marley had fallen in love with Paulo back when she was his trusted assistant. She had boldly offered herself to Paulo because of that, but she was humiliated by him and driven out of his room.After Paulo had been woken up that night, he was not aroused by the naked Marley. Instead, he hurled insults at her. He called her a slut and said she was shameless. And he dragged her out of the room by her arm. He kicked her out without even giving her time to get dressed.It was already very late that night, but some of the interns were still working on their experiments at the lab. Paulo's room was near the lab, so they saw Marley in an incredibly embarrassing state. And they laughed openly at Marley, who was Paulo's first assistant.Everything that Marley went through that night was a nightmare, especially for a young woman.Erin's gaze darkened after she hear
At 2:00 am three days later, Engel successfully swapped out a used toothbrush in Yvette's apartment.At that moment, Yvette, Marley, and Samson were in a study in another apartment within the same neighborhood. The three of them watched Engel leave Yvette's apartment on the surveillance monitor."Hmph. Marley, it's exactly as you had expected. They truly are suspecting Yvette." Samson looked at Marley with admiration.Marley did not look smug. She said softly, "Our battle with them has just started."Yvette had a sinister gaze. She was not surprised at all that Chandler and Erin got suspicious of her true identity so soon.She glanced at Marley and said, "Marley, they won't give up after they use my toothbrush for the test. I'm guessing they'll try to get my blood after that.""What are you afraid of? The toxin I injected in you will temporarily regroup your DNA. It won't be a problem at all even if they were to use your blood and also your parent's blood for DNA testing." Marley
Yvette became the headline news online for two days straight. Marley had gotten plastic surgery experts from all over the world to evaluate Yvette at a press conference. The experts' conclusion was unanimous. They acknowledge the "fact" that Yvette was a beautiful woman who had plastic surgery.What the world did not know was that the experts were bribed by Marley and Samson with a hefty sum. The goal was simply to prove Yvette's new identity to be true.The experts had left Strivus after receiving money. They did not care at all about Yvette's true identity.The main purpose Marley went the extra mile to reinforce Yvette's new identity was for the benefit of her clinic.Yvette was the sole ambassador for Cosmetic Vision. The impact of her advertisement was immeasurable.After all, plastic surgeons with Paulo's merits no longer performed surgeries unless he was doing someone a favor.That gave Marley a unique market. She was able to make money while taking revenge.Besides, th
Draco looked terribly upset.Engel confessed, "I can't rest easy if I don't follow you guys. You haven't gotten your memories back, and your intelligence is—" He let out a few coughs before he added, "Besides, there are people following Asa too."Engel pointed at a small black car in the distance behind them.Asa did not see anybody in the car, so he shouted, "Who's hiding in there?"The two people reclining in their car seats looked at each other. Then, Ryder pressed a button, and the driver's seat that he was on slowly folded up.He glanced at the person in disguise next to him and said, "What do you think, Erin? Your son has found out about us. Let's not hide anymore."Erin glanced at her bulging belly, which could still be hidden a little when she was lying on her back. She felt bummed, and she pressed a button to sit up as well."Engel is not a reliable person. He sold us out in a heartbeat just to avoid getting an earful from his boss," said Erin.By then, Asa and the o
At 7:00 am, two days later, Erin and Chandler were having breakfast at home."Erin, I'm very sorry that I still don't know Taylor's whereabouts. I thought I could find him," said Chandler.Erin was taking a bite of her pancakes. She looked up at him and said, "Forget it. There's nothing we can do if he's intentionally hiding from everybody. But Holly is being silly and insisting on having the child. I've already done all I can to talk some sense into her."Chandler's gaze was a little frosty as he put down his glass and wiped his mouth with a napkin. He looked confused as he asked, "I thought the person Holly truly loves is Simon. I find it a little hard to believe that she got involved with Taylor so soon after her breakup with Simon.""It's nothing much really. Holly has truly moved on from Simon," Erin answered.He wore a mysterious smile as he said, "A woman can be quite savage when she's heartless." Erin immediately put down her fork and asked in a serious tone, "Hubby, wha
Erin chuckled out of reflex as soon as she heard Chandler's question. "No. I'm fine.""Really?" Chandler raised her chin with his finger.She turned her face away as she felt awkward. "I'm going to the bathroom."He refused to let her out of his arms. He had already teased her, so he wiped his teasing smile off his face and said in a serious tone, "I was lying to you. I lived like a celibate monk in those seven years when you were gone."He put his sexy lips next to her ear and whispered, "But I was willing to do it."Erin's heart started to race. She looked up and saw the passionate love for her that was burning in Chandler's eyes.Her heart pounded like mad. And after they looked at each other for a few seconds, she asked, "Didn't you have any moments where you felt strong urges?"Since Erin was still doubtful and conflicted about that, Chandler explained helplessly, "Wifey, it's true that not everybody could endure it. But I didn't know if you were alive or dead at that time.
Ten minutes later, Erin returned to the living room downstairs again. She wanted to go to the hospital to visit Holly.There was no sign of Chandler and Kyle in the living room anymore at that moment.Erin felt upset about it. Instead of rushing upstairs to explain things to her, Chandler had even left their home. Was it because he was feeling guilty?Erin's heart ached. She had no idea what to do. If Chandler had truly had an affair back then, should she forgive him like she said she would? But what about the illegitimate child?Erin closed her eyes in pain and clutched her purse tighter. After she opened her eyes again, she walked out of the living room without hesitation.Trent happened to be walking toward Erin as he ushered the Lehman sisters in. He immediately said, "Mrs. Frost, Mr. Frost and Mr. Morn have gone to the office five minutes ago. He asked me to tell you—""I got it." Erin nodded to him calmly. She was not willing to show others the pain and conflict she was exp
Erin was holding her phone in her car. Maya was next to her, her head leaning against the window as she was still unconscious. Calla had already driven the car out of the hotel."Not only am I unhappy, but I despise despicable people like you," said Erin.Gunnar staggered to his feet upon hearing that. He frowned and asked, "What do you mean? Erin, I really don't understand."Erin replied, "I don't care if you're playing the fool or if you really have no idea. I just want to tell you that I've taken Maya out of the hotel today. If you don't want to get in trouble, don't do this kind of nasty thing again."She also reminded him, "Don't forget that Maya's brother is Paulo. She's not someone for you to bully as you wish. Even if she doesn't have a family to back her up, there are laws in place to punish you."With a firm attitude, she said, "I'll let you off the hook this time. But don't blame me for not showing you mercy if there's a next time."Gunnar could not wrap his head aroun
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
