Erin was kept under observation in the hospital for two days before getting discharged.Chandler ordered her to rest for the next three days. Otherwise, he threatened to have her transferred back to being his assistant from the design department.Erin naturally complied and was happy to enjoy her paid leave.She didn't want to tell anyone about being drugged, nor did she want her family and friends to worry.Moreover, the real culprit behind the incident was still on the loose. Hence, it was better to keep it a secret.It was 4.30 pm, and Erin was driving a white BMW towards a restaurant.Quentin, the legendary chairman and father of Chandler, had finally come to see her.As an employee of the company, she couldn't refuse to meet Chandler's father.Even though she was very nervous, she knew she couldn't just give up without trying.…Forty minutes later, Erin parked her car and walked into one of the most famous restaurants in the city.The restaurant was frequented by either prominent
After realizing she had bumped into someone, Erin quickly apologized, "I'm sorry!"As she looked up at the person, she was stunned. The handsome Louis was already grinning delightedly. "Miss Lane, it's you! What a coincidence to see you again...""I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry..."Louis glanced at the bank card in Erin's hands with his blue eyes. He then retrieved a card case from his suit's pocket and handed her a simple business card.Holding the card with two hands, he said sincerely, "Miss Lane, I know you're in a hurry. So I won't keep you long. Here is my business card. I hope you'll take it. I'm really sorry for mistaking you for my deceased wife last time. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to contact me."Looking at the business card in his hand, Erin didn't know whether to accept it, but Louis continued to smile at her, his attitude sincere and full of goodwill.Eventually, she took Louis' business card and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have a business
Upon hearing Matthew's question, Erin burst into tears. She threw herself into his arms and cried in distress.Hearing her sobs and noticing her red eyes, he suspected something had happened to her.Matthew thought someone must have bullied her, and he urgently asked, "What happened, Erin? Tell me who bullied you. I won't let them off!"Erin was alone in a suburban hotel wearing only a bathrobe. She must be naked underneath.He thought someone had assaulted her.If it weren't for his friend filming in the nearby studio and having agreed to drink with him that night, he wouldn't have come over to confront her about the noise from her room and subsequently run into her.Despite Matthew's persistent questioning, Erin refused to tell him anything until she cried herself out. Finally, she lifted her head and said, "I want to break up with Chandler...""Really?" Matthew could hear the excitement in his voice, but he quickly composed himself and asked, "Why?"Erin got up unsteadily and headed
Although Chandler's tone was bland, it was filled with damaging potential. Even the air seemed to take on a frosty quality.Matthew glared at him as he smirked victoriously. "Can't you tell based on what you saw?"Once he said that, the room was filled with a strange silence.Chandler narrowed his eyes, a sharp light glinting in them. As he looked at Erin's face, peaceful in sleep, his heart twisted in indescribable pain. He closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation. The image of Chandler's departing figure was burned into Matthew's mind. He could not help but admire this cruel and heartless man for being able to let go of his feelings so easily. He was shocked that Chandler wouldn't even give Erin the chance to explain herself.Matthew didn't know if his answer had provoked Chandler into giving up on Erin for good, but he knew that any man would be furious at seeing what Chandler had seen. The humiliation of watching t
Matthew's words prompted her to start calmly planning what to do. Composed, she said, "I was going to buy a place, but I lent the money I had to my father to use as funds. I'll rent, for the time being, I guess."Matthew pulled Erin's hand and said, "If you don't mind, Erin, you can stay at my place! I have an apartment unit no one's staying in. You can move in after cleaning up a bit."Now that Erin's relationship with Chandler had deteriorated completely, and Holly was happily in love, Erin really had nowhere else she could stay. She could hardly live in a hotel forever. Besides, staying for even a week cost a lot.Erin slowly pulled her hand away. Awkwardly, she said, "I know it's difficult to find a suitable place to stay, but it wouldn't be appropriate to stay at yours, right?"Matthew eyed the flawless hand that had escaped his grasp. He knew that Erin's relationship status was a little unique right now, so he couldn't rush things. He suppressed the disappointment in his hear
Erin was torn at Matthew's suggestion. "Are you kidding? Even the apartment you don't stay at is being mobbed. There must be even more paparazzi over at your villa!"For a moment, Matthew didn't know what to say. He felt a strong sense of self-castigation. He said, "I'm sorry … It's my fault for not handling the issue better."Erin turned to look at him. Seeing how glum Matthew looked, she finally realized how mean she sounded. "Matthew, I should be the one to apologize! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hounded by reporters.""It's alright. It's because of who I am that so much trouble was brought here. Sometimes I wonder if it's better being a civilian." The slight admiration in Matthew's voice made Erin's heart ache. Although being a star meant that Matthew shone brightly in the eyes of others, each word and move he made was put under the spotlight. The more famous he was, the less privacy he was afforded."Don't overthink it. All that you have right now is the result of
Erin had a good sleep at the hotel and woke up really early the next morning. No matter the difficulties and heartache she went through in her love life, she was still a white-collar worker trying to make a living. Thus, she had to greet each new day with optimism. Since she was having trouble in love, she could only put more of her focus into work.Now, she had two things to settle quickly—finding a house and finding a job.After washing up at the hotel, she ate some bread bought from a nearby convenience store and started looking through online rental listings.She turned on her laptop and searched for a property agency right away. It was much better to spend some money for someone to verify true listings rather than do it herself. The company she found seemed quite reputable, and so, she called their staff to tell them about her requirements. Afterward, she prepared to write her resignation letter.Half an hour later, she was done writing her resignation letter. She then called
Delighted, Sean said, "He came back just last month! Right now, he needs an assistant on an internship basis. His former one is giving birth next month. He was the one who asked me to help him find a reliable assistant who can handle any hardship. I thought of you immediately. Aren't I a great friend?"If Sean were asking her to be his assistant, then Erin would reject him immediately. However, now she was to be Roman Blair's assistant. Honestly, she was quite tempted.Although Erin stayed silent, Sean could tell from her tone that she was indeed interested. He said seriously, "Erin, I'm only telling you about this because I'm confident in your skills! If you didn't have the skills to shine and rise up to the challenge, I would never risk my reputation and recommend you to him. I've already given you the opportunity. It's not my problem if you give up on it.""I accept!" Erin said solemnly.This was the kind of opportunity that didn't come every day. It was an honor to be able to 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. 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
