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

Estburg Central Hospital.Horace and Caelus were there too.Geoffrey needed to deal with some business matters, so he wasn't around.When Horace saw Sinead and Eden come in together, he couldn't help but joke, "Whoa, Aunt Sinead. Seriously. Alain's still in the hospital, but you're currying favor with the daughter-in-law already."Sinead smacked his head. "You're making fun of me now, eh? I'll tell your dad and have him take care of you later.""Ow. Please don't, Aunt Sinead!" Horace begged for mercy.Sinead smiled and said nothing else.Meanwhile, Eden walked directly to Alain and checked his pulse. Once she was sure that nothing had gone awry, she took out her needle pack. She then looked at Alain and said, "Undress and lie down."Alain had been taking the herbal concoction prescribed to him and the infused bath.The infused bath was very effective. It improved his physique and strengthened his immune system.Despite the spread of the toxin, it hadn't attacked his organs. H

Eden gave Alain a frosty look, and in that moment, the needle in her hand jabbed into his body."Ouch!" Alain yelped. "Trying to murder your husband?"Eden pulled out another needle and asked, "You're not cured yet. Why did you go to Audair?""I found out that an old money family in Audair, the Johnsons, also has a Bloodgod Herb. I wanted to sneak it out, but I failed," Alain said innocently.Eden's fingers froze. "If the Bloodgod Herb were so easy to find, I wouldn’t have had to wait this long to treat my grandma. Alain, you're a leader too. When did you start acting like Horace and losing a few IQ points?""Cough!" Alain coughed. "The Johnsons do have a Bloodgod Herb, but I was too late; they'd already given it to someone else."He continued awkwardly, "And I was joking earlier. We didn't try to steal it. We were trying to buy it from them."He knew that the Parkers would never sell the Bloodgod Herb. No matter how much he offered, they wouldn't part with it.The Bloodgod Her

"I'm still a patient; I won't be able to sleep. Can you bear to see me like this?" Alain whispered, leaning on Eden's shoulder.Eden turned to him, pursing her lips. After a moment, she crawled back onto the bed. "Then sleep."Alain smiled and said, "I want you to hold me."Eden lowered her eyes. "Don’t push it.""I'm cold!" Alain said, snuggling closer. "You're warm."Eden gave up. "Alright, sleep.""Thanks."Alain closed his eyes for a moment before reopening them. "I told my mom to throw a party once I've fully recovered from the toxin. I want to announce our relationship."Eden nodded. "She mentioned it to me.""So, are you going to acknowledge that you're my fiancée?" Alain sat up, still holding Eden in his arms.Eden was lost in her thoughts and didn’t realize she was still in his arms."Just to make her happy," Eden finally said after a long pause.Alain sighed. When would Eden open up to him?"My mom will be thrilled, no doubt. She wants you to marry me," Alain sai

Eden stayed in the hospital for the next few days.Sinead and Horace also avoided the hospital to give them some space.Eden didn’t go to school, which led to rumors spreading about her. Some said her involvement in the Aradia family's downfall was suspicious, while others claimed she was killed while dealing with the Aradias.The rumors were everywhere.Ten days later, Alain was discharged from the hospital, fully cured of the toxin.On the day of his discharge, Geoffrey and Sinead personally picked them up from a nearby hotel to celebrate.Sinead had also sent out invitations for a party to honor her future daughter-in-law, scheduled for the coming Saturday. Invitations went out to all the reputable families in Rielton and Estburg, including the Hunts.Originally, Sinead had no intention of inviting the Hunts. She detested them and had no desire to even acknowledge their presence.However, she decided they needed to be there. She wanted to show the Hunts just how splendid Ede

Eden was speechless.She folded her arms across her chest, raised an eyebrow, and let out a sneer as a smile slowly formed on her red lips. "Alain, we’re still in the trial period."Alain's smile vanished immediately. "I’m sorry, boss."Eden smiled and chose to ignore him.From then on, Alain behaved more normally and stopped trying to buy things for Eden against her will.Just as they reached the entrance of the shopping mall, Eden’s phone rang. It was Joy."Eden, tomorrow is the school’s cultural festival. Are you coming to watch our performance?"After a moment of thought, Eden nodded. "Sure."Since the party was the day after tomorrow, she had time for the festival."Really? That’s great!" Joy’s excitement was clear over the phone. "You have to come. We start at ten in the morning."Eden hummed in agreement and ended the call.Later, Alain took Eden out for dinner. With nothing else planned for the evening, they went to bed early.During the night, Alain didn’t make any

Eden shuddered, her heart racing as if she’d been jolted awake.Alain moved slowly but very gently.His slender fingers traced a path from the back of her head to her earlobes, then down her neck and along her collarbone.Her collarbones were pronounced, emphasizing how slender she was.The room’s temperature seemed to be rising.Alain continued exploring with his tongue, and Eden felt the warmth of his body increase.Just when they were on the brink of losing control, Alain suddenly stopped, breathing heavily. "Not now. You’re not ready yet."Eden’s eyes glinted as she cleared her throat. "Let me go wash up."Her face was flushed, and she looked extremely embarrassed.Having never kissed anyone before, Eden found this new sensation difficult to explain.Alain looked at her red face and smiled wider than before. He hadn’t expected her to be embarrassed too.How rare.Alain quickly prepared breakfast in the kitchen.It was a simple meal—just milk, bread, and some cold cuts.

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
