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
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
Seeing how emotional Laudes had become, Eden suddenly smiled.She bent over and lifted Laudes' chin. "Sorry to disappoint you, but my grandmother is alive.""Impossible!" Laudes screamed. "It happened when you were surrounded! It's impossible that she survived!"Eden's smile widened. "Well, my grandma was on the verge of dying. But I forgot to tell you something else. I'm a doctor too, and I saved her.""You...!"Laudes suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood. She couldn't speak for a long time as she stared at Eden.What kind of monster was she?Not only was she Boss Griffith, but she was also a miracle doctor. Why would someone like her come to Riverside Senior High?Why did she want to steal her limelight?Eden started to plant needle after needle in Laudes. "You can't die if I don't let you. Even if you try to kill yourself, I can still save you."Laudes pushed Eden away, looking at her in horror as she crawled backward.Eden stood up and patted the dirt off her hands. S
That was the reality of this world. If she wasn't cruel enough, others would only be crueler to her.The only redeeming factor was that she had not lost her humanity. She was only cruel to those who were evil and vicious.After driving Eden to Skygarden, Horace and Caelus headed back to the hospital.When Horace and Caelus returned, Geoffrey and Sinead decided to go home first.Only Alain, Horace, and Caelus were left in the ward.Once Geoffrey and Sinead had left, Horace pulled over a chair and sat by Alain's side. He then said excitedly, "Alain, big news."Alain raised an eyebrow with a gloomy expression on his face.He was in no mood to listen to any news after suffering such grievous injuries.Horace ignored him completely and quickly said, "Eden is Boss Griffith from the legends, and she's extremely powerful. She can also use her needles to freeze someone in place. All five hundred of them froze in place after she waved her hands."Horace then stood up, still excited. "Do
In one night, something huge happened in Estburg.The Aradia family, ranked third in the city, had collapsed.No one knew the reason why. All they knew was that when they woke up the next day, there was no one at the Aradia residence.Even the news quickly published that all the Aradias' assets had been taken over by unknown individuals.In just one night, the glorious Aradias had completely disappeared.When Ricardo, the patriarch of the Duran family, found out about this, he felt all his strength leave his body.Luckily, he had listened to Peter and arranged for Carina to leave the city; otherwise, they might have ended up like this as well.Remembering that, he quickly called Carina and once again told her not to get into trouble with Eden.Eden didn't go to school and applied for leave.She still had to personally take care of Alain for the next few days.Even though her grandmother's bullets had been removed, the toxin had spread. She also had to go to the hospital to co
