Chapter 853 My Antidote

Author: Simone Hastings
The next day at 8:00 pm, the mysterious man appeared on the big screen again.

Erin had been contemplating his motives the whole day, but still couldn't think of an answer.

He didn't kill her, nor did he torture her. Meanwhile, the Lehman sisters and Paulo were only hostages used to control her.

Was he seeking revenge?

On second thought, it didn't seem like it.

Erin remained silent with lowered eyes. The masked man broke the silence and asked, "Do you have your answer, Erin?"

There were still no words from her.

The man seemed irritated by her silence as he started to breathe a little heavier.

"Do you really think that they would be safe if you don't answer?" he asked.

Erin looked up and replied, "No, I don't."

"I gave you a chance, didn't I? As long as you answer correctly, I'll let one of them go."

But Erin doubted him. "Even if I guessed the correct answer, how could I be sure that you would keep your promise not to kill them?"

"Well Erin, you have no choice but to trust

    Erin tried to find a hint of a joke from Cyrus' sinister expression.However, his mysterious gaze showed nothing but desire. As a woman, Erin knew what those eyes meant. But she didn't know what he was longing for. Erin was sure he didn't want her body. If so, he could have had his way with her easily while she slept.But she was positive that Cyrus hadn't touched her."Why the silence, Erin? Do you find my motives hard to believe?" Cyrus slightly raised his eyebrows as he glanced at Erin. "Well, I am somewhat surprised, but I wouldn't say it was entirely unbelievable," she replied.Now that she knew what he was after, she could finally gather her thoughts. Guessing one's intentions without any clues could drive someone crazy.But Erin was different. She had experienced both despair and the fear of the unknown before. That was when Tessa and Jack had trapped her on a deserted island.Even though she was concerned about the safety of the other three, fear was not going to be

    After hearing Cyrus' warning, Erin turned to him slowly. "I've been locked up here by you, and you still have three hostages in your hands. Do you really think I have the guts to harm you? Your warning was absolutely unnecessary."His face looked striking under the light. The eye patch over his right eye gave him a mysterious vibe.Even for an impromptu visit, he was still dressed up in a nice suit.He slowly approached Erin and smiled. "I'm not worried that you would harm me. I'm warning you not to provoke me. I might just kill the three of them out of anger. You wouldn't want that to happen, right?" he asked.Erin sat up and asked doubtfully, "Do you plan to lock me up forever?""That depends on how you behave," he replied.She sneered, "And what should I do to convince you to release me?"Cyrus narrowed his eyes and answered calmly, "I'll release you when I feel like it.""So ... you captured me solely to make me beg and surrender?" Erin asked carefully.Cyrus bent down, pl

    Cyrus' words left Erin speechless.If he truly wanted to kill her, begging him would be useless.However, she never thought to beg him anyway. If he really wanted to claim Erin as his own, he didn't even need to ask for permission.Not only had she lost her freedom, she lost her dignity to say no. Cyrus threatened her by her weakness—Paulo and the Lehman sisters. There was nothing she could do.Facing a brutal reality, Erin needed a change of plans.If she managed to escape, she would instantly attempt to kill Cyrus.Some people would always bring her trouble, leaving her no choice but to get rid of them.Cyrus took a final glance at Erin before leaving. To his surprise, he wasn't as disappointed as he expected. "We still have a long way to go, Erin. Time will prove everything. Day by day, that strong and solid heart of yours will rot. Until one day, you'll lose all your hope, and obey everything I say," he said determinedly.Erin gave him a quick glance and said calmly,

    20 minutes later, Iron arrived at Erin's room. He brought along four men from the Special Forces. They opened the skylight and descended using ropes. Erin pretended to be asleep, while she had actually woken up five hours ago.She hadn't actually starved for three days. This was part of her plan.In reality, Cyrus had inadvertently helped Erin to proceed with her plan by suddenly cutting off her food supply. She didn't know what difference it would make, but still, she had to try.For the past few days, Erin had been secretly saving up bits of bread and dried fruits from breakfast. During the nights, she would hide under the covers and eat them while pretending to be asleep.She acted as if she was starving to death, when in reality, she was conserving energy."The two of you! Help her up!" Iron commanded sternly."Yes, sir!The two men pulled Erin's covers away and dragged her off the bed.All the clothes delivered to her over the past three days were baggy tops and pant

    Erin gazed into Cyrus' eyes for a long while, attempting to discern something else within them.Regardless of how she perceived it, his words seemed both genuine and deceptive, leaving her unable to clearly differentiate between the two.She eventually gave up and smiled faintly at Cyrus, saying, "Your acting skills are impressive, I actually believed it."Confronted with her teasing, his expression stiffened slightly.However, Cyrus continued to act as if nothing was amiss, laughing in a way that was inscrutable, "Erin, is it that I acted well, or is it that you dare not believe?""How does my belief matter? What if I don't believe it?" she asked calmly, her expression cool."Well, just go back. I no longer have the desire to do anything to you," Cyrus remarked, glancing back at the lighthouse.His unpredictable mood swings made it increasingly difficult for Erin to understand.Little did she expect that Cyrus would become so inexplicable now."Cyrus, can you counteract the e

    Cyrus immediately recognized Chandler's voice. His expression oddly lacked any surprise.His lips curved into a faint smile as he said, "Well, Chandler, you're even smarter than I expected. You found this place so quickly.""Release her now!" Chandler bore a somber countenance, draped in a cloak of all-black attire.His voice had barely faded when soft footsteps echoed. Two figures dressed in black entered the living room.It was Taylor and Calix who entered."Chandler, we've located where the hostages are being held," Taylor declared.The coordination between Taylor and Calix was exceptional. Taylor seamlessly assumed responsibility for Erin while Calix bound Cyrus' hands from behind. He tied an expert sailor's knot that proved difficult to untangle.Cyrus was taken aback when they revealed that they knew where the hostages were being held.He stayed silent, his stern face and complex gaze leaving others unsure of his thoughts.Calix forcefully seated Cyrus on the couch, po

    Half an hour later, Chandler and the others took Cyrus to the Hall of Eternity.Within the heavily fortified prison was Iron Hawk and his team. They had already brought Paulo and the Lehman sisters.The two factions faced each other. Iron Hawk was reluctant to release the hostages without Cyrus' orders.Cyrus' subordinates surrounded the area, each of them holding a weapon."Mrs. Frost!" The Lehman sisters called out simultaneously.Their facial expressions were weary. They looked as if they hadn't eaten for several days.Erin asked Cyrus with a grave expression, "Why do they look like they're sick? What have you done?""I didn't do a thing. They just faced the wrath of my people. There are consequences when you try to escape," Cyrus said, his expression gloomy."Mrs. Frost! We're fine." Calla coughed a few times with a pale face.It was evident that the Lehman sisters were beaten in places that weren't visible.In a fit of rage, Erin kicked Cyrus' knee. He was forced to inst

    Erin's reminder jogged the others' memory of Cyrus' presence."Even if he sank in the pool, that's his fate," Calix said indifferently."Could we have found our way out of here without him?" Calla inquired.Erin said, "He triggered the trap just now, so there must be an exit here! Regardless of whether he's still alive, we can't go underwater to search for him anymore. It's too dangerous.""Erin's right. Let's rest for a bit and resume searching later," Chandler suggested, flicking on his watch's light.He held Erin's hand and continued, "It's not just us three on the island. Kylan and Ryder are here too. But for safety reasons, they're not with our group."We've been looking for clues since you went missing. The one pretending to be Jenny was apprehended. She's connected to Cyrus, and you've encountered her before. Her name's Margot."Erin remarked with surprise, "So it was her!"She then asked, "And what about Jenny? Have you found her?""Margot didn't reveal her location, b

    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. 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?
