Alain smiled and suddenly got close to Eden, patting her head. "Can I even make your heart flutter?"If he could, he wouldn't have to feel jealous of other men.The feeling he had was upsetting.Eden folded her hands in front of her chest and looked at him teasingly. "Maybe you can."After that, she grabbed a white shirt and went back to the bathroom to change out of her towel.The glee in Alain's eyes deepened.He said nothing else and went to the washroom to take a shower.Afterwards, Eden didn’t sleep. She was holding her mobile as if she was looking for something.Alain moved closer and glanced at the screen, surprised by what he saw. "You're looking for the Bloodgod Herb?"Eden raised her head. "You know about the herb?""Heard about it," Alain said as he poured two glasses of hot water and handed one to Eden. "The Parkers have it, if I remember correctly."Eden nodded. "They do. They have one.""Why are you looking for it?" Alain sipped and then sat by Eden’s side."

The teachers have yet to see a result with more than 110 marks.The physics teacher had already lost all hope for this exam. However, he didn’t expect to see something different.As he corrected question after question, he suddenly stood up with wide eyes. "Whose… Whose paper is this?"As the names on the test papers were hidden, the physics teacher couldn’t see whose paper it was.The chemistry teacher took a peek and was shocked, too. "Full marks? Is this Tyler from Class 3-1? He has been the top student in every exam."The physics teacher shook his head. "This is not Tyler’s handwriting.""That’s strange… Huh?" The chemistry teacher suddenly paused. "I have someone with full marks, too."At the same time, someone also obtained full marks for Albanese.Someone had 148 marks for Khyran.But math…Grant had finished with all the math papers and still no one had full marks. He removed his glasses in annoyance and said, "Looks like math is just too difficult."The physics teac

Grant took Eden to the staffroom.All the teachers were there.Jordan was about to ask Eden about what happened when Miriam immediately questioned her, "Eden, did you answer the exam questions yourself?"Eden looked down. "Yes."Her tone was crisp."Did you copy your answers?" Miriam asked with a stony expression. She didn't even bother giving Eden a smile."No," Eden answered nonchalantly and stood there quietly."You’re lying!" Miriam immediately threw the exam paper right at Eden. "If you didn't copy, how did you get full marks for all your subjects? You know how good you are, so don't tell me you knew all the questions by luck."Eden smiled as she raised her eyes. "Nothing to do with luck. I know the answers.""You're so stubborn!"Miriam couldn't be bothered with Eden anymore and turned to look at Jordan. "Mr. Smith, you heard everything. She cheated, so I hope you can deal with this fairly and seriously."Jordan was getting a headache.On one hand, it was the aggressi

Eden looked at the other teachers nonchalantly. "Should I continue with chemistry next?""It's fine. I believe that you didn't cheat," the chemistry teacher said and left with his exam papers.Clearly, she wasn't cheating or copying. She was simply hiding her talents.They had already been humiliated twice at this point. If he were to ask her to do the chemistry test again, he would get them all humiliated a third time. He couldn't afford to get humiliated like this!Jordan was also quite surprised by the result, but he quickly nodded with a smile. "No wonder!"No wonder Samuel didn't even ask what happened and wanted Eden to stay. She was the treasure of Riverside Senior High.Even though Eden's math wasn't anything impressive, from the looks of it, she wouldn't have a problem joining Rielton University.When the thought crossed Jordan's mind, he suddenly turned to Miriam and asked with a stony tone, "Are there any other questions, Ms. Miriam?"Miriam's face was flushed. She h

Morning, during Albanese class.Miriam entered the classroom and started her lesson immediately.Eden, seated at the back, stood up and narrowed her eyes. "Ms. Miriam, did you forget something?"Miriam looked at her awkwardly. "I have an excellent memory. What could I have forgotten?""You seem to have forgotten about our wager," Eden said with a cold expression, a glint in her eyes."You must be joking!" Miriam blurted out, laughing. "I am a teacher. Why would I bet against you students? Eden, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you’re ranked second in the entire year group. I'm still your teacher."Eden's lips widened into a smile. "Looks like you will not honor your part of the wager, then?"Miriam looked away and didn't continue the conversation.Eden smiled coldly. "That's fine. It's understandable for a teacher with no ethics to refuse to honor her part of the deal. You don't have to apologize, but the dance studio is ours. Class 1 can forget about using

Jasmine clenched her fists tightly. The wrath in her eyes was apparent.How did that country girl get second place in the entire senior year?How did all the students from Class 3-18 enter the top 50?How?Just how?She had always been the best. But as soon as Eden appeared, she lost everything.She lost her fiancé.She lost her title as the school belle.She lost the popularity contest.Now, she even lost academically.How could Eden have the upper hand so easily, no matter what she did?There was a glint in Jasmine's eyes. This time, she would personally take everything back.Night.Alain picked Eden up and took her home.They didn't eat out that night but had the private chef prepare a meal and deliver it to Skygarden.Ever since Alain found out that Eden was malnourished, he had asked the chef to prepare a few more dishes, hoping to help her nourish her body.They had just started eating their dinner when Jasmine came back.Seeing Alain and Eden having dinner, she

The light in Alain's bedroom was turned on.Alain and Eden looked at Jasmine coldly, their faces expressionless."How do you want to deal with this?" Alain asked, holding Eden in his arms, his voice hoarse.If Eden hadn't smelled something wrong with the water Jasmine poured for them and texted him, he would have ended up sleeping with Jasmine.The Hunt family was quite impressive, producing such a vicious daughter who would sacrifice her innocence to reach her goal."You can do as you like," Eden replied. She had no feelings for the Hunts and didn't want to interfere with how Alain handled this."Then tell Catherine to pick her up immediately."Alain called Caelus before calling Catherine.An hour later, everyone from the Hunts was gathered there.Alain and Eden sat on the sofa, looking at the Hunts without much expression. They said nothing.However, Catherine's heart skipped a beat under Alain's stare. She calmed herself before bowing respectfully. "I wonder why you've gat
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 135
Catherine snorted at Jasmine. "You're just like your mother, unable to survive without a man. You and your family won't stop until you ruin the Hunt family, will you?"Jasmine was getting a headache from being bombarded repeatedly. She turned to ask Melinda what happened, but all she saw was a man lying next to her. Her eyes instantly widened."Ah!"Jasmine screamed.The man, who had been fast asleep, woke up. He looked at the Hunts curiously and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in my room?"He then turned and looked at Jasmine, holding her in his arms. "Hey, babe. You’re asking others to watch us perform live because you didn't get enough last night?"The man gave her a sincere smile. "I didn't expect you to be so open."Jasmine pushed him away in a panic, punching and kicking as she screamed, "Who are you? What did you do to me?"She was like an enraged lioness, fury visible in her eyes.The man was stunned for a moment before retorting, "What's wrong with you? You called me

Eden had never seen this scarlet rock before. It looked like it had been scorched red by fire, but it felt cold to the touch.She was immediately drawn to it, even though she didn’t think much of it as she picked it up.At first, she thought it might be something unpleasant. But as soon as she touched the rock, a surge of limitless energy flowed into her body, making her realize that her power had reached a new level.Alain finally snapped back to reality, pulling Eden into his arms and patting her head. His voice was rough as he said, “Can you please avoid doing things that make me worry like this?”Eden was taken aback. She had only picked up a rock. What was he so worried about?Then she realized that Alain and Horace had probably seen the mist enter her body.“Alright. I’ll let you know what I’m doing next time.”Only then did Alain seem to relax.He looked at the rock in Eden’s hand and said, “This is called a Styx Rock. An old man gave it to me a few years ago after I sav

The last time Horace was kidnapped, Eden did everything she could to save him.Caelus had been with her for a long time and followed her every command. She wouldn’t just let him die.The two of them had just left the entrance when Horace came rushing over.“I heard Eden is awake. Let me see her!”Horace had been outside organizing the search for the murderer. When he heard Eden was awake, he left everything and came straight over.He treated Eden like a younger sister, so of course, he wanted to visit her now that she was awake.“Yes, I’m awake,” Eden said with a gentle glance at Horace. Then, she gave a slow, meaningful smile as she curled her lips. “I’m going to save Caelus. Come with me.”Horace suddenly shuddered.She turned to Alain. “What’s with her? Why did she smile so frighteningly?”Alain didn’t respond and got into the car.Horace followed them without delay.Caelus had been in the ice coffin for three days, and his body was already starting to deteriorate.Eden

Eden had just walked out of the room when Sinead arrived.“You’re finally awake. I’ve been so worried about you,” Sinead said, taking Eden’s hand. She then checked Eden’s forehead and pinched her face. Once she was sure Eden didn’t have a fever, she finally relaxed.“I’m really sorry for making you worry,” Eden said, her usual shyness showing.“No need to apologize,” Sinead replied. “If it weren’t for you trying to save us, you wouldn’t have gotten hurt so badly. I’ve been feeling guilty about it, so don’t say anything that’ll make me feel worse, okay?”Sinead glanced around at the nurses in the villa, knowing Alain had recruited them recently. “I know these nurses have been carefully selected, but they can’t compare to me taking care of you myself. Why don’t you come back with me? I’ll look after you personally and make sure you get all the nourishment you need.”“Alright,” Eden agreed immediately.Alain, who was behind Eden, could only watch silently.It seemed he had definite

“I… I wouldn’t dare,” the young nurse said, taking a few steps back, visibly trembling.Eden looked up at her. It was clear that the nurse was frightened, though she was trying to hide it.“What’s your name?” Eden asked as she ate the oats, which tasted fresh and just right.“My… My name is Gem. Gem Scarlet,” the nurse replied, her eyes fixed on the floor, avoiding Eden’s gaze.“How old are you?” Eden inquired. Though she was only slightly older than Gem, she exuded a calm, dependable demeanor.“Eighteen,” Gem answered quietly.Eden stroked her chin, observing Gem. “Do you stutter?”“Huh?” Gem looked up in surprise. “No.”Eden continued eating. “Are you afraid of me?”Gem seemed too stunned to stutter anymore and nodded instinctively. “Yes.”But she quickly corrected herself. “No… I… I’m not afraid of you…”Gem’s eyes filled with tears, and she struggled to hold them back.She bit her lip and, with her head lowered, explained, “It’s… It’s Mr. Brooks. He said you have a bad

Even though Hades was known as the king of all Banevermins, it wasn’t always active. Once the person implanted with Hades had consumed enough blood, Hades would fall into a deep slumber.He had just committed several murders, which meant that Hades had been fully fed and wouldn’t be triggered again anytime soon.Eden figured the reason for his sudden activity was that he was searching for a safer place to hide.“The Johnsons?” Liam repeated thoughtfully. “Since Alain is investigating them, and so are you, did they really do something they’re trying to keep hidden from outsiders?”Eden considered this and then decided to share the truth with Liam. “Have you ever heard of the Shamblers?”“Shamblers? One of the kids at the Agency was reading a horror novel a few days ago, and I overheard them mention it…” Liam said, pausing as he stood up suddenly. “Wait, are you saying the things in those novels are real?”Eden thought about it and nodded slightly. “Not entirely, but it’s not too f

Liam was genuinely impressed with Eden’s progress.If his own children had achieved as much, he’d be able to die happy.Eden, however, had a headache.She already knew about it.When Alain told Horace, she was in the same room and overheard it. She was unsure whether to tell Alain or not, wondering if he could accept the world she was part of.The world where the war would take place.After thinking it over, she finally said, “I’ll take it.”“Alright, I’ll send the reply.”Just before hanging up, Liam remembered something. “You’re in Estburg finishing your senior year, right? Almost ready to graduate?”“Yeah.”“With how smart you are, I’m sure you’ll have no trouble getting into a good university. Have you thought about studying in Rielton? We could grab coffee when we’re both free.”Eden replied indifferently, “The Agency must have a lot of free time these days, huh?”“Well, not exactly. I’m working on something pretty complicated and staying busy, but I’m making time to c

Eden massaged her head, glancing at all the nurses surrounding her.They watched her anxiously, afraid they might upset her.“All of you can leave. I don’t need everyone here,” she said, irritated by the crowd.As soon as the nurses heard her, they began to cry. “Did we do something wrong? Tell us and we’ll fix it. Please don’t fire us!”"That's right. Mr. Ward warned us that if we make you unhappy, he’ll kill us.”“We don’t want to die; please let us stay.”Eden froze, then muttered under her breath, “Darn it.”Was Alain out of his mind?Since when did he become so ruthless?Eden lowered her gaze, feeling the tension rise in the room. She glanced at the nurses, who were now kneeling in front of her, sobbing.Frustrated by the crowd, she said, “Just go. Alain won’t kill you.”Turning to Sulien, she instructed, “Pay them five times their salary and send them away.”Sulien, once obedient only to Alain, now followed Eden’s lead. Without hesitation, he paid the nurses as she as

Alain rarely mobilized his organization, and it was even more unusual for him to take a personal interest in anything. But Sinead knew it was serious if he had to step in himself.She remembered the call she had received from the Gardner family earlier, and a sense of unease settled over her.Could the person Alain and Horace were talking about be connected to that?If so, Rielton would become a living hell.The moment Sinead realized this, she quickly pulled out her phone and dialed a number as she walked outside. "I need your help."Three days later, at Pear Garden.Eden woke up shortly after Alain had left.As she opened her eyes, a young woman stood in front of her, staring at her.After a moment, the young woman excitedly exclaimed, "Ms. Griffith is awake, Dr. Sulien. Look!"She had barely finished speaking when dozens of people rushed into the room. Eden instantly frowned.She had only been unconscious for a little while. What... happened?Where did all these people co
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 346
Alain arrived just after the rest of the Ward family had left."Why are you here? Is Eden awake?" Sinead asked. She wanted to stay in Pear Garden to take care of Alain and Eden, but with the Ward family pressuring her for answers, she returned to the family residence to handle them first.They had just left when Alain arrived, and she thought Eden might have already woken up."She's still unconscious," Alain replied, unbuttoning the top button of his blazer as he sat down. "I’m here to see grandpa, and then I’ll head to the company."Sinead nodded. "He just woke up. Your uncles were here, arguing with me. He thinks it’s too noisy and doesn’t want anyone disturbing him, so don’t go in for now.""Got it," Alain said, lighting a cigarette. "Can you go stay with Ed in Pear Garden?""Alright."Sinead didn’t say much, grabbed her purse, and left.She had just reached the entrance when Horace rushed in. Without even greeting her, he hurried to Alain."Alain, he’s shown up again."Ho
