My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 132
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

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

"No! I didn't!" Jasmine screamed.She had only…Added some aphrodisiac to Alain's glass of water.And added some knockout drugs to Eden's glass of water."No?" Alain stood up and slowly walked toward Jasmine, peering down at her. "We've already analyzed the presence of toxins in the water you poured for us. Do you want to read the test report?"Jasmine looked at Alain in shock. "Impossible. I only added some aphrodisiacs and sedatives to the drinks. They're not poisonous.""So, you acknowledge that you spiked the drinks?" Alain's tone turned icy, and his demeanor became hostile.Jasmine was so scared by his demeanor that she stepped back. But very quickly, she regained her composure and crawled over to grab Alain's pants. She begged, "I'm... I'm so sorry... It's just that I love you too much. I’ve never thought about committing murder, and I wouldn't commit murder. Please forgive me, Alain. I won't do it ever again."She finally understood that it wasn't Eden behind this.It w

Caelus drove the car back to Skygarden.Since it was a bit of a drive, Eden closed her eyes.After a while, Caelus suddenly slammed on the brakes. Eden lurched forward but managed to keep her balance and avoid falling.She frowned and was about to speak when Caelus said seriously, "We have a problem, Ms. Griffith. Please stay in the car."Caelus got out of the car.Only then did Eden see a group of men surrounding the vehicle, each armed with a steel pipe.She narrowed her eyes.But since Caelus had asked her to stay inside, she decided to follow his instructions.Though she had never seen Caelus fight, Eden knew he was strong and should be able to handle a gang of goons.She watched as Caelus tried to negotiate with them for a moment before the situation escalated into a fight.Caelus was skilled, but…Not far away, dozens of vans pulled up, and a large group of gangsters approached.Caelus frowned and quickly returned to the car. "Ms. Griffith, drive. I'll handle this."

Eden turned around with a cold glint in her eyes. A needle appeared in her hand, and she flicked it out with a quick motion.In that instant, a shrill sound cut through the air.The needle intercepted the bullet, causing both to fall to the ground.Eden moved swiftly, grabbing the man by his collar. Her voice was as cold as winter's breath. "Where did you get the gun?"The man gritted his teeth. "You're dead! Our boss won't let you get away with this! The Aradias serve Boss Griffith."The man was Darren Brown, one of Solus' more resourceful subordinates.He knew Solus' temper well after having served him for so long.Initially, Solus merely wanted to vent his anger on Eden. But now? Eden had to die.That was Solus' rule. That was the underworld's rule.Eden tightened her grip on him, her demeanor chilling. "Tell your people to come here. All of them."Darren didn't expect her to be so bold. "You asked for it."He didn’t wait and quickly dialed Solus’ number.It took less th

"Help?" Kyle immediately punched Darren. "If you don’t tell me everything right now, I’m going to tear you apart, you bastard!"Under Boss Griffith's orders, no one was allowed to have any fun.When they took over Estburg, they had already seized all the guns from those who surrendered.And now the Aradias wanted to use those guns to commit murder?Forget about how Boss Griffith would deal with the Aradias. Darren would lose his life first."Well… Boss Solus bought it from an arms dealer in Springburg. It has nothing to do with us!" Darren groaned in pain on the ground after taking a couple of hits from Kyle."The Aradias, huh?"Kyle narrowed his eyes and ordered his men, "Eliminate them all! We’re wiping the Aradias out today!""No!" Darren pleaded from the ground. "Boss Kyle, we’ve been supporting Boss Griffith all this time! Why are you turning on us without any reason?""Without any reason?" Kyle glared at him coldly. "You messed with someone you shouldn’t have. Wiping you

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

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
