Before Sulien could even finish speaking, Eden had already dashed off and vanished into the distance.Sulien stared at the spot where Eden had disappeared, bewildered. What had just happened? A figure had vanished right in front of him.When Jonathan, who had come down after Eden, heard Sulien's report, he quickly ordered his subordinates, shock evident on his face, "Quick! Reinforce the entrance!"As Sulien watched everyone rush off, he was left unsure of what to do. What about Alain? Should they still go to the hospital?As he was hesitating, Eden returned and said, "Get him to the hospital. Don’t touch the needles. Operate on him and remove the bullets. I'll handle everything else."Eden realized she was overwhelmed with worry. It was at least twenty minutes to the entrance. No matter how fast she was, she couldn’t get there faster than the car.She couldn’t find Caelus. After giving him a call, she found out that he had parked the car in the lot. With Sulien’s intelligence, t

When Horace saw what happened, he gulped. Eden was already as skilled as Alain in combat.When Alain was at his peak, five hundred enemies wouldn’t have been a challenge.But the thing was…Eden was a woman!A nineteen-year-old woman!How could she be so powerful?Horace was still in shock when Jonathan finally arrived with his men. Jonathan barely blinked at the sight of the people lying on the ground. He approached Eden calmly and asked, "How should we deal with the survivors, boss?"As Eden’s second-in-command, Jonathan was well aware that Eden had personally incapacitated them, rendering their arms and legs useless. It was a common punishment she handed out.Thanks to her medical expertise, Eden was extremely knowledgeable about human anatomy. She could kill someone without them even realizing it.However, Eden would normally not kill. She had once explained to Jonathan that her mentor had taught her to use her skills to save lives and only take lives when absolutely neces

Normally, Eden didn’t have to personally handle what was happening at the entrance of the city.However, when she heard that Alain was severely injured because of the pursuit, something inside her snapped. Her fury burst forth.She wanted to avenge Alain. She wanted them all to suffer a fate worse than death.Eden’s movements were very light. Although anesthetic was already applied, she still worked gently, as if worried it might hurt him.After Eden had finished the stitching, she asked the other doctors to leave, having only Sulien stay behind."Ever trained in traditional medicine?" Eden asked after getting out of her scrubs."Not formally, but I have read books on traditional medicine," Sulien said obediently, completely impressed by her.Eden nodded. "I’ll teach you a needling technique. You do it."The needling technique was very risky, so Eden should be the one doing it.However, it required a lot of stamina to perform. After what happened that day, Eden didn’t have the

Caelus didn't dawdle and went straight to work.Eden also didn't spend much time outside and quickly returned to the surgery theater.Sulien had just finished placing the needle in the final point as shown by Eden earlier. As soon as Eden came back inside, she mentioned another point on Alain's body.Sulien continued without a break.The two worked well together.Caelus was very efficient. In less than eight minutes, he had gathered and brought all the needles.Luckily, the hospital had a traditional medicine department, and some of the more veteran doctors preferred needling techniques. It wasn’t hard to find the needles.As time went by, the anesthetics on Alain wore off, and he woke up.The needling was still in progress.When he opened his eyes, he saw Eden instructing Sulien on where to place the needles with a solemn expression.Her face was clean and unblemished. Alain smiled and wanted to pull her hand, but Eden growled at him instead. "Don't move!"Alain suddenly st

Eden gave Melinda a cold glare before leaving.Melinda stood there with a red face, struck speechless. She then went to the ward with Catherine."Mr. Geoffrey, Mrs. Ward, we're here to visit Alain," Catherine said, her family behind her. When she saw Geoffrey and Sinead, she lowered her pride.Sinead looked at her without any expression, but because of Eden, she responded coolly. "Thank you."Catherine glanced at Melinda, signaling her to bring out the gifts they had prepared.Melinda placed the gifts on the table and stood behind Catherine, trying her best to look graceful.However, Sinead wasn’t even looking at her.If Catherine weren’t here, Sinead wouldn’t have even glanced at Melinda."I don't know what Alain likes, so I bought him some fruits. I hope you don't mind," Catherine said with a smile, respect evident in her tone."There's no need for gifts. Your presence alone is enough. Alain has just finished his surgery and won’t be able to have these. I don’t want them to

Catherine didn’t expect Sinead to like Eden that much.An ill-mannered country girl with a wild streak... Just what had caught Sinead's eye?Why did they ask for Jasmine at first for the marriage? Not only did they not become angry after switching to Eden, but they also adored her so much."Catherine, if there's nothing else, please go home. Alain is still resting, so I don't want him to be disturbed," Sinead said coldly, glancing at Catherine before sitting down with no expression on her face.Geoffrey remained silent the whole time.There was no need for him to speak to those at the level of the Hunt family."We'll be heading back now," Catherine bowed and led the others home.No one else from the Hunt family said anything.After they had left, Sinead looked away and snorted. "They think they can hide their intentions from me. They have never treated Eden well before, but now they want us to invest in their family for her sake. How ridiculous."Geoffrey peeled an orange for

The Aradia family's residence.Solus had been waiting all night. The subordinates he sent never returned.At first, he wasn't worried. However, as time passed, he became more and more anxious.Finally, at midnight, Solus couldn't sit still any longer with no news.He immediately called his subordinate. "Investigate what's going on and why there's no news yet. Why do they need so much time dealing with a high schooler?"Before he could end the call, a loud explosion came from outside."What the hell!" Solus hung up and walked downstairs. "It's the middle of the night! Someone has a death wish or something?"Laudes was also shaken by the noise and followed Solus down the stairs.When Laudes saw the crowd forming downstairs, she shrank.Solus narrowed his eyes. These were not his subordinates!If someone wanted to exact vengeance on him, there was nothing he could do."Tress!" Solus said to his butler. "Take Laudes away now."Before Tress could say anything, a cold voice came
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 151
Eden smiled coldly. "I'm not lying."Laudes took a few steps back. "I don't believe this. This isn't real. This isn't real..."Eden raised her head slightly, a glint appearing in her eyes. She looked at Laudes with a frosty demeanor. "Do you know why I'm wasting time talking with you?"Laudes looked at her, stunned."It's because I want you to know. I want to see your expression once you realize that the Boss Griffith you've been taking orders from is just a high schooler," Eden said with a nod. "And I'm very happy with what I see."Eden then pulled her hands out of her pockets. "Now, it's my turn to make a move."As she was done speaking, she swooped forward. Her slender hand reached Solus' throat, and with a slight squeeze, Solus' face instantly turned pale.Solus wanted to free himself, but he couldn't move.The moment Eden made her move, a needle also attacked Solus. He was her prisoner, so she could do whatever she wanted with him."Dad!" Laudes cried out in anger as she

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
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 349
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
