An hour later, Erin, Tina, and Calla arrived at the airport and picked up Jill.After that, they took Jill to a hotel. Then, three women headed to the restaurant on the hotel's top floor for lunch.Jill had a bob cut. She had always had a baby face, so she looked incredibly young. Her features weren't mesmerizing, but she was a beauty. She was five feet and five inches tall, so she was slightly shorter than Tina.As their host, Erin walked ahead of them to show them the way."Tina, look at Erin. She's clearly the shortest among us. Why does she look like she's five feet and six inches tall? Is there something wrong with my eyes?" Jill asked.Tina glanced at Jill and replied with a smile, "It looks like I'm not the only one with problems with their eyes. It seems like you're thinking the same thing too.""Isn't it right? Erin, how do you look like that?"Erin looked back and smiled. "Maybe I just have good body proportions.""What do you mean maybe? That's exactly the case!" Jil
Of course, Erin and Tina were shocked by Jill's words too."Jill, to be frank with you, Holly's pregnant, so don't shock her," said Erin, looking solemn."Haha. It's fine, Erin. I like Jill's personality. What a straightforward woman." Holly wiped her mouth with the napkin.Holly's reaction put a happy smile on Jill's face. "Holly, I like your personality too. I think we'll become good friends."Tina turned to Erin. "Look at them. They're starting to have their own conversation already."At that moment, the server started to serve their dishes.Erin said, "Let them talk. We'll just focus on the food.""Hmmm. I'm starving. I only have eyes for delicious food now." Tina grabbed her cutlery while she stared at the appetizing food that had been served before them.The server left after she had brought all the food to the table.At that moment, Jill looked at Holly's belly with an incredibly serious gaze and asked softly, "Holly, who's the father of your child? He can't be Simon, r
Jill's question made Erin speechless. Holly was stunned for a moment, but she still answered it.Erin bid them goodbye in a hurry and left the restaurant earlier to pick up Asa from school. She didn't want to listen to such private and intimate things about Simon. She was afraid things would be awkward the next time she met him.Once Erin got to the hotel lobby, the lobby manager walked up to her and asked, "Ms. Lane, will you be riding in your own car?"Erin wasn't drunk, but she would still be drinking and driving if she were to drive herself.She had sent Calla to the police station to follow up on Daisy's case so that they could prepare for what was to come."Yes, I'll be riding in my own car," Erin replied.The manager asked respectfully, "Do you need a designated driver for hire?""Yes, please find one for me. I'll wait in the car.""Alright, Ms. Lane. I'll get to it now."After Erin thanked him, she went to the parking lot outside the hotel.Once she got into the car
Levi went quiet after Erin made her request. He didn't utter another word in the next half an hour.Before he got out of the car, he snapped his fingers at her. Erin immediately took out her purse and gave him 300 dollars.Levi accepted the money and said, "Thank you. Have a good day. Goodbye."Erin hadn't seen his face through the entire journey. There wasn't a single photo of him online, either.Since he was a complete rookie, he had never been on any form of variety show.Not even Sean had a photo of him. It was said that Sean had signed the contract with Levi in person in Alta after the role was set.Erin couldn't help but become slightly curious about this man.But they would be able to officially meet on set very soon.She silently prayed that Levi wouldn't be difficult to get along with. She looked forward to his work since he was rumored to be a gifted actor.Erin glanced at her watch. As Levi was too good at driving, she had arrived at the school half an hour early. C
Rylan immediately released Lucille at Paulo's command.She immediately lost her balance and leaned against the wall of the elevator.Paulo tore his gaze away from her strapless wedding gown while she panted heavily. He subconsciously loosened his tie as he felt his throat becoming dryer.Soon, the elevator doors opened.Paulo stepped over Lucille's legs and walked out of the elevator.Just as Rylan took a look at Lucille, he heard Paulo say, "Rylan, bring her in.""Yes, sir."Rylan helped Lucille up and took her into Paulo's presidential suite.After he helped her to the couch, he stood at the side.Paulo went to the wine cabinet and opened a bottle of red wine at random.He poured himself half the bottle of wine and finished it in one go, without hesitation.His forehead had long been covered with beads of sweat. A strong desire that he had never felt before was consuming his willpower at that moment.This was all because of that damned Marley!She had asked to meet her b
Lucille was so dejected that she looked like a flimsy, soulless puppet. She slumped on the couch as though she had lost her entire world.Paulo watched Lucille care so much for another man right before his eyes when she had already slept with him.Paulo's expression grew colder. He was clearly the one who had popped her cherry."Other than your fiancé, is there no one else you can contact?" Paulo asked icily.She shook her head while feeling numbed. Then, a miserable smile appeared on her face, and tears started streaming down her cheeks."My cousin has always been against this marriage. He was against me marrying Mervin."Paulo said, "It looks like something might be off with Mervin.""There's nothing wrong with him! I'm the problem!" Lucille exclaimed.She explained with tears in her eyes, "I don't come from a prominent family, and I have no money either. I'm merely a stunt double who hangs around at film studios all year round. Mervin built his fortune from the ground up. I'
Looking at his strong hand, Lucille subconsciously reached out.Paulo took her hand and pulled her up. But she had been squatting for so long that her feet were numb.He quickly held her waist to steady her when she lost her balance and fell forward.Paulo asked, "Can you walk?""I don't know."He didn't reply as he picked her up decisively and walked steadily toward the elevator.The elevator door closed as Jenny entered.Lucille was tired of crying. She felt exhausted. She closed her eyes, leaned on Paulo's shoulder, and soon fell asleep. Tears slowly flowed down her cheeks.In five minutes, he had already carried her into the car.Jenny sat in the passenger seat and asked softly, "Boss, where are we going now?"He glanced at Lucille beside him and replied, "Go back to the villa."The driver nodded respectfully and drove away from the hotel.…An hour later, they arrived at Paulo's villa.This Eupathean-style villa was near Erin's place. It was his permanent residence
"Since you already know the answer, I don't need to say anything else. The title deed your grandmother left you after her death has a market value of 200 million dollars."Lucille stood up in shock. "What did you say? How is this possible? Mervin said it was a worthless title deed."Paulo showed a hint of sarcasm. "Do you still believe what he said?""My grandmother was often delirious and made up many things while alive. I didn't know that the title deed was real!"He raised his eyebrows. "You never believed that your grandmother was the royal family's descendant, right?"She slumped down on the chair dully and murmured, "How is it possible! How could this happen? I always thought it was simply Grandma's nonsense."She felt a strong sense of guilt as she didn't believe what her grandmother said.It was also because of her stupidity that she lost her grandmother's heirloom."I can legally prove that the title deed is valid. Mervin must have known about it beforehand."Lucille
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
