After Eden had left Samuel's office, she returned to Skygarden.Alain and Horace were discussing something when the door opened, and they both turned to look at Eden. "Why are you home so early?" Alain asked.Eden nodded, her mood subdued. "Something happened."She headed upstairs without further explanation.Alain watched her, his eyes narrowing slightly. She had probably learned about the Parkers’ auction.Horace glanced at Eden before turning back to Alain. "The news from Rielton is that all the families are investigating Eden. Even though her information has been kept hidden, people have managed to find some clues. If her identity as Nosoi were to leak, she’d be in serious danger."Alain lit a cigarette and took a drag, the smoke swirling from his mouth as his expression grew darker. "Move everyone working on the Dark Web back here.""Everyone?" Horace was surprised. "What about the Steppe Continent? Xander can’t hold on much longer. Black Panther has been stealing our suppl

Eden turned to Alain with a smile. "I prefer using my own money."Alain looked at her with a pained expression. "I’m your fiancé.""Just my fiancé, yes," Eden said with a faint smile.Alain was left speechless.He didn’t want to deal with the cold woman anymore.Four hours later, the car pulled up in front of the Ward family's secondary estate in Rielton. The estate featured several smaller, elegant manors reminiscent of old-world luxury.Alain helped Eden out of the car. Horace stayed behind, needing to track down King Cobra.Stopping in front of a manor’s door, Alain turned to Eden. "No matter what happens later, don’t use your medical skills."Eden raised an eyebrow and gave Alain a knowing look. "Is your home full of danger?"Alain rubbed his temples. "Something like that. Just keep your medical skills hidden. Sulien will be here soon. If anything happens, let him handle it."After a pause, Alain added seriously, "And if something happens to me, don’t intervene either."

The young woman nearly stumbled and fell when Eden dragged her aside.Alain turned to Eden with a faint smile on his face.Was Eden feeling jealous? That was a good sign.The young woman regained her balance and glared at Eden. "Hey, where did you come from? Don’t you have any manners? Do you even know who I am?"Eden raised an eyebrow and glanced at Alain, as if asking whether she was one of his suitors.Alain shrugged, indicating it wasn’t his concern.Eden rolled her eyes and faced the young woman. She casually put her hands in her pockets and said, "Nope."The young woman was taken aback. She tried to grab Alain’s arm, but Eden stepped in front of him, causing her to miss her target. She stomped her foot and said, "Alain, is she your new bodyguard? Where are her manners? She shouldn’t be acting like this in our territory. Can’t you do something about her?""I can’t handle her. Why don’t you try?" Alain said with a smile, though he seemed pleased that Eden was standing up fo

The old man was Alain's grandfather, Julius Ward. At seventy, his face was lined with wrinkles, and his hair had turned completely white.He approached Alain, took his hand, and with tears of joy in his eyes, said, "Good... Good! You've finally recovered from your illness. It’s so wonderful to see you again, my grandson.""Grandpa," Alain responded gently.Eden noticed that Alain spoke to Julius with a tone of respect and courtesy, showing a softer side of him. Apart from his parents, Julius was the only one in the Ward family Alain treated with such warmth."Didn’t you bring your fiancée home? Where is she? Let me have a look at her," Julius said, looking around until his gaze landed on Eden.Alain gestured for Eden to come over, and she approached, greeting him politely. "Mr. Julius.""My, you’re so lovely. I knew my Alain would find someone as beautiful as you," Julius said, clearly pleased with Eden.The other members of the Ward family exchanged glances, and Helena laughed

Eden had both hands in her pockets, her eyes cold and her face showing clear impatience, surrounded by a chilly aura.Anyone who knew her would recognize that she was on the edge of losing her temper."Who do you think you are, telling me to get up?" Quin stood up, her face flushed with anger. "You have no right to speak here.""If she has no right to speak, then who does?" Alain stood up and walked over to Quin, his expression unreadable. "Why don’t you tell me if this is the Ward family or the Johnson family?"Quin's face was a picture of shock. "That's not what I meant!""Isn’t it?" Alain gave her a pointed look, then took Eden’s hand. "I hope it’s truly a misunderstanding. The Ward family hasn’t become the Johnson family yet."Both Vivian and Quin were taken aback, and Helena’s expression darkened as well.Ignoring them, Alain guided Eden to her seat. "Relax. You’re my wife-to-be, the matriarch of the third branch of the family."Eden looked at Alain, then turned her attent

Eden frowned, slipping her mobile back into her pocket. She turned to Alain and said, "It's too noisy here. How about we go outside for a walk?"Her words were loud and clear, catching everyone's attention. The people in the living room stopped talking and stared at her with curious looks.Eden ignored their stares and focused solely on Alain.Alain's cold expression softened, and his lips curved into a warm smile. "Sure, I’ll take you around the estate."Eden nodded, and they both stood up.Before they left, Eden glanced at Julius and said, "If you want some peace, you might want to avoid these people. They're quite loud."Julius's dark expression lifted, and he burst into hearty laughter. "Haha! Alright. I’ll follow your advice and stay away from them. Since you’ve just arrived, let Alain show you around. We’ll call you when it’s time to eat."Alain nearly laughed at her remark.He had expected nothing less from Boss Griffith. Even without physical confrontation, her words al

After Eden said that, she grabbed Alain by the collar and they both left, leaving the people in the living room fuming.She walked with her gaze lowered, enveloped in a gloomy aura. Alain followed, unable to hide his smile even if he tried.Eden claimed him as hers, and he was thrilled to hear it. It seemed he needed to make her angry to get such sweet words out of her.Eden pushed Alain into the car and immediately kissed him, biting his lips until he felt pain before releasing him. She looked at him with a neutral expression. "You grew up with her, huh?""No," Alain replied, licking his lips and savoring Eden's scent. "She was just making things up.""Do you want to change your fiancée?" Eden lifted his chin with her hand, raising an eyebrow."Nope!" Alain's smile grew deeper. He enjoyed Eden's assertiveness."You better not!"Eden wanted to leave, but Alain suddenly pulled her back. She lost her balance and fell against his chest.His cold lips brushed her ear as he breathe

Helena steeled herself and said with a forced smile, "What are you talking about? We’re not targeting you; we’re doing this for your own good. Your grandpa is unconscious, and we're just worried.""Really?" Alain said, his voice dark as he slipped his hands into his pockets. "Where's the doctor you called?""Well..." Helena’s eyes flickered. "We were so worried, we forgot."Alain gave her a pointed look and said, "It’s fine if you forgot to call the doctor, but remember to take all your things when you leave."He turned to Caelus and said coldly, "Show them out.""What do you mean?" Helena’s expression shifted instantly. "Your grandpa is unconscious. How can we leave now? We need to know what’s wrong with him."At that moment, the maid guided Sulien into the living room.Sulien greeted Alain and immediately went to Julius’ side to check his pulse.Caelus had just started ushering the Ward family out when Helena hurried over to Sulien and asked, "How’s my dad?"Sulien checked J
