Erin thought that Holly would lead a better life after withdrawing from it. However, she didn't expect the situation to be like this. Although Holly had recently miscarried, she had gone looking for trouble. It left Erin both angry and worried.Erin got dressed and called the Lehman sisters. The twins lived in the small house next to the villa, ready for duty at any moment. They agreed to meet in ten minutes. They also agreed to keep their stories consistent and not reveal the truth to Chandler. Erin also informed Cherry because she was going out in her name to avoid any issues. Ten minutes later, Erin got into Calla's black jeep.She knew that the undercover special forces bodyguards were discreetly following her.Ten minutes after leaving the villa, Erin put on her Bluetooth earpiece and called Taylor. At that moment, Taylor was arranging flowers in the rose garden. He glanced at the phone beside him. Upon seeing it was Erin's number, he hesitated to answer.These past fe
Taylor's voice was deep, cold, and authoritative.Everyone present heard the commanding words of this dominant man. Some curious onlookers turned to see what was happening.Despite this rather embarrassing situation, Holly didn't feel ashamed. Instead, she was utterly surprised.The only thing on her mind was Taylor's words, "Holly Green, if you don't get off that stage right now, everything is over between us."She never expected Taylor to show up.Holly's dazed eyes sparkled with excitement. She seized the microphone from the emcee beside her and questioned, "Taylor, what did you mean by that?"Taylor didn't look back. He left the microphone on the bar counter and began to walk away.His departure sent Holly into a panic. She couldn't afford to delay any longer. She handed the microphone back to the emcee and hastily left the stage."Tay, don't go!"Erin was deeply moved as she watched them. Holly's actions showed her genuine affection for Taylor."Mrs. Frost, should we lea
Taylor's rejection left Holly disheartened. She turned her head away without saying anything. Tears filled her eyes as she opened the car door. Without a word, she got out of the car. Her silent departure stirred a sense of guilt within Taylor. He got out after her. Still holding the car keys, he had a reason to catch up with her. "Wait!"Holly's steps slowed as she walked ahead, but she didn't look back."You forgot your car keys," he said.After hearing his words, Holly suddenly turned. With tears in her eyes, she said, "Taylor, I'm begging you. If you don't like me, please don't appear in front of me anymore! My life has nothing to do with you—"Before she could finish, she was engulfed in the embrace of the man who had rushed over!The sensation felt surreal to Holly. She hesitated but then raised her arms and clutched Taylor's waist. He held her for a long time without speaking.This time, Holly didn't speak first. She just silently held onto him, savoring their contact.
Time passed quickly, and the one-week deadline given to Hyacinth and Tristan had come to an end.Kylan stood outside Tristan's apartment building and entered the building at the designated time. Five minutes later, he stood at the door of Tristan's apartment and knocked.In less than ten seconds, the door opened.Tristan wasn't surprised to see Kylan. He gave Kylan a lifeless look and then turned to walk inside.In the living room, Hyacinth sat on the sofa dressed in all black. Her face was also devoid of any expression. "Silver, we guessed that you would come to find us. We've been waiting for you," Tristan said, walking over to sit next to Hyacinth on the sofa.Kylan remained calm and closed the door behind him. "You two surprisingly haven't tried to escape. That caught me off guard."A complex expression passed through Hyacinth's eyes when she saw this man she admired once again. This time, it was because he had come to take her and Tristan's lives.Perhaps, from the moment
Tristan picked up one of the contracts and read through it briefly. "So, you want me and Hyacinth to work as your assistants for five years?""That's right. Whether you sign it or not is up to you. I'm merely offering you this option to take you under my wing so that I can protect you in a way. "Due to my past profession, I have enemies. I don't want to hire a few bodyguards who'll just end up getting themselves killed. I think your abilities are kind of acceptable."Tristan took in Kylan's seemingly kind attitude and declined right away. "Work as your assistant? That's as good as being dead. Heh, I'm not signing!"Hyacinth, who was sitting beside him, didn't even bother to read the contents. She flipped to the last page of the contract and signed it. She did it using the pen Kylan had provided. The whole process was swift and seamless."Why did you sign, Hyacinth?" Tristan was so shocked that he nearly reached out for her pen reflexively.Ignoring him, Hyacinth signed it with
Clifford was so terrified that he was nearly paralyzed with fear. However, his drunkenness had left his mind somewhat sluggish.Erin observed the entire scene from the rooftop.At this moment, she was sitting in an observation room on the rooftop with Chandler. Its exterior resembled a storage room for cables. But inside, it was equipped with state-of-the-art monitoring and surveillance equipment. It even had a defense system to prevent electronic bombs from being planted.The rooftop was surrounded by Chandler's men and a team of elite officers led by Osborn.This time, they were prepared to arrest Clifford. They just needed his confession to make the arrest official. "Hubby, do you think Clifford will believe it?" Erin was still somewhat anxious. Few believed in the supernatural. People tended to believe only in what could be seen and touched.Chandler stared at the monitor. It showed Clifford cowering on the ground, absolutely pale from fear. He lowered his voice and said
Chandler's cold and distant demeanor caused tears to roll down Alana's cheek instantly. She choked back her tears and said, "Chandler, I know I've made a lot of mistakes in the past. But I've received the punishment I deserve. "Can you let go of the past in consideration of our shared childhood memories? We can start anew—""I thought that as women grow older, they'd gain some wisdom. But apparently, you haven't. Can we really forget everything that happened in the past? What do you take me for? And who do you take Erin for? "Speaking of which, you should be grateful to Erin. If it weren't for her kindness, I would've completely ignored past affections and made you disappear," Chandler said bluntly, showing no mercy. His tone was glacial and held an oppressive sense of hostility. He ignored Alana's expression of pain and remorse.He simply turned to Angela and warned, "You released Alana ahead of time. I can overlook that. But I hope that from now on, you and your sister can
The woman who had unexpectedly appeared turned out to be Malyla from the village in the mountains. One could imagine the hardships and effort she had undertaken to locate Engel.Erin was alarmed. She clenched her right fist and aimed the weaponized ring she wore on her middle finger at Malyla's neck. She was ready to strike at any moment.Unbeknownst to her, several of Malyla's men were lying in ambush in the forest surrounding them. Armed with guns, they hid in the shadows to protect Malyla."Jerry, you'd better advise the woman behind you not to make any reckless moves. I don't want to kill a pregnant woman; I'm pregnant with your child too!" Malyla stared at Engel intently.Engel couldn't shout for help as he had to consider Erin's safety. He had no means of calling for reinforcements, so he had no choice but to engage with Malyla for now.With an apologetic look in his eyes, he said, "I'm sorry, Malyla. I apologize for leaving without waiting for you back then.""It's fine. I
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
