Erin saw that Asa was upset. With a gentle smile, she said, "Asa, we don't think that way."Even if they did think that way deep down, they couldn't admit it at this moment."Liar!" Asa exclaimed with a displeased expression.Candra spoke up to defuse the situation. "Mr. Frost Junior, can you tell us why you believe your mom is the smartest woman you've ever seen in the world?"Asa glanced at her and replied, "Fine, since you don't believe me, I'll explain it in detail. First of all, I'm only eight years old. I've only met and know a very limited number of people right now. Among all the women I know, Mom is indeed the smartest person I've met. "It's not because she's my mom that I lower my internal standards of judgment. If you think I'm just trying to please her, then you're insulting my intelligence and character."In fact, my judgment of women's intelligence isn't based on the garbage data you find online. I look at the comprehensive data in real life. Looks and physique don
Upon realizing that they were here too, Erin felt awkward."Ingrid is troublesome. You should try to avoid them as much as possible," Kylan reminded."I understand, Kylan. Thank you for letting me know. Let's meet another day."After bidding farewell to Kylan, Erin hung up.She thought for a moment and then said to Candra, "Call the manager of Maple Villa and ask them to check where Roman and Ingrid are staying. If our room is on the same floor as theirs, we need to find a way to change rooms to avoid running into them.""Sure, Mrs. Frost. I'll make the call right away."Without looking up, Asa asked, "Mom, why do you want to avoid Uncle Roman and his wife?"With a sigh, Erin replied, "When you grow up, you'll understand the complexities of the adult world."The rest of the journey went smoothly. After more than three hours, they finally arrived at Maple Villa. As soon as Erin and her group got out of the car, they saw a welcoming committee in front of the villa.Besides the b
Faced with Roman's questioning, Erin felt guilty. She apologized, "Roman, please don't be angry. I did this because I thought it would be better for you and your family. I just hope you can have a harmonious family life free from conflicts.""Honey, are you inside?"As Ingrid knocked on the door from outside, Erin and Roman simultaneously looked in the direction of the door.Erin was one step ahead of Roman. She opened the door before he could reach it.Ingrid was standing at the door with a conflicted expression. When she saw Erin, there was a clear look of surprise on her face."Why are you here?" Roman showed some displeasure at Ingrid showing up at the door."Honey, you said you were going for a walk, but you came to see Erin ..." Roman's gaze turned cold. "Is there anything wrong with my coming to see Erin?"Ingrid's expression stiffened. "Of course not. But why didn't you tell me? I could have come with you—""Is that really what you think?" There was a hint of disbelie
Ingrid losing control and lunging at Erin prompted The Lehman sisters, who had been standing by in the room, to open the door and rush out.Previously, they hesitated to intervene when they heard the argument outside since it was a matter concerning Roman's family. But now, with Erin's safety at risk, the Lehman sisters acted without hesitation and forcibly pulled Ingrid away.They both held onto her arms tightly. When Ingrid pounced, Roman had already taken action."I won't spare you, you wretched woman! Let go of me!" Ingrid attempted to break free from the Lehman sisters' grip but couldn't move an inch. She was left with no option but to kick with all her might.Roman stood in front of Erin and angrily said, "Enough, Ingrid! Have you gone insane?""I'm not insane! Roman, you bastard! How can you hit me because of this wretched woman? I'm carrying your child, and you hit me ..." Ingrid was still emotional and couldn't believe that Roman had slapped her."Erin, I'm sorry for wha
Approximately an hour later, Tristan and Candice woke up in a hotel suite. Erin had instructed her bodyguards to carry them into the hotel room.As Candice awoke, the first person she saw was Kylan. Startled, she clutched her chest and climbed off the couch. She looked at him with suspicion and asked, "Who are you?"Kylan was still wearing a hyper-realistic mask on his face. He chuckled and said, "Candice, you and Tristan need to practice more. Your skills are not sufficient to protect Erin."Candice exclaimed, "Are you Kylan?"Tristan had just regained consciousness. The moment he saw Candice, he asked, "Candice, are you okay?"As he asked her that question, he reached down to touch his wound."You were shot with my tranquilizer gun, and the bloodstains on your bodies are just synthetic blood plasma. I was testing your agility and combat skills, and I must say I'm disappointed.""Sorry, Kylan. We've let you down." Candice had already stood up before Kylan with a serious express
Candice considered the question Erin asked for more than ten seconds. When she looked up at Erin again, she had an even more determined look in her eyes.She responded, "To be honest, if it weren't for my previous employer wanting me dead, I wouldn't have turned against her so quickly. Kylan interceded so that Mr. Frost and you would spare my life. I'm determined to repay this kindness. If I bite the hand that feeds me, then I truly deserve to die."Upon hearing Candice's words, Erin fell silent. Erin surmised that Candice's final choice was made out of necessity.She chuckled and said, "Candice, Tristan, let me be honest with you. I don't like to force others against their wills. You're free to go. Let bygones be bygones."Erin's decision surprised Kylan. "Erin, what do you mean?""Terminate their contracts and give them their freedom. From now on, we should all go our separate ways."Her refusal made Candice anxious. She exclaimed, "Mrs. Frost, are you rejecting us because you
Ingrid's words surprised Yvette greatly. She asked, "Really? You had one argument, and Mr. Blair wants a divorce? Could it be that it was a slip of his tongue due to anger?""No, it's not like that. Roman is serious this time. Since we got married, he has never mentioned divorce to me before! This time, it's all because of that wicked Erin! He wants to divorce me because of her ... He has never loved me from the beginning ..."Ingrid started crying again. While Yvette felt a bit annoyed, she continued to pretend to be puzzled. "So, is it true that Mr. Blair and Mrs. Frost have an unusual relationship?""Definitely! It's just that I can't catch them in the act. The truth is, since I got married to Roman, he has never touched me. We only got intimate that one night when I unexpectedly got pregnant ... "That night, it was I who took advantage of him being drunk and climbed into his bed. Looking back now, I feel so foolish! How could I believe that this one-sided infatuation would lea
At this moment, Chandler stood at the intersection of the corridor. He was passing by with Kyle and Hans. Coincidentally, he overheard the final words exchanged between Yvette and Ingrid.He had some suspicions in his mind.Upon seeing that Chandler was silent and wearing a somewhat gloomy expression, Yvette began to feel uneasy. She asked, "Mr. Frost, why are you here?""I finished the meeting early, so I came here," he replied coldly."That's great! I thought you wouldn't come ..." Yvette was quite touched. Her wish to come to Maple Villa with Chandler to soak in the hot springs had now come true.She asked with a smile, "Did you just arrive?""Yes, we were going to look for Erin," he said. He then turned to leave with a hand in his pocket."Mr. Frost!" Yvette turned and called after him.Chandler turned to look at her and asked, "Is there anything else?"Yvette's eyes flickered, and she expressed her heartfelt gratitude. "Thank you for coming."Yvette believed that Chandle
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
