Skylar stood behind Alain and Eden, his brows knitting together as he noticed how close they were.He hadn’t expected this woman to be Alain's fiancée. From the looks of it, Alain cared about her a lot.Normally, this wouldn’t concern him. But with the Wards involved, he had no choice but to pay attention.He didn’t want to drag the four prominent families too deeply into the auction because he wanted to ensure that whoever obtained the Bloodgod Herb did so on their own merits—in this case, those with enough money.That’s why he didn’t let the four prominent families handle security.But now, with Alain and his VIP together, the Bloodgod Herb…“Don’t worry, Mr. Skylar. The auction will proceed as planned. What you're worried about won’t happen,” Alain suddenly stopped and turned around, addressing Skylar.Skylar froze for a moment. He knew what Alain meant. He sighed in relief and smiled. “I'm sorry for having to do this.”“It’s good that you're being cautious,” Alain replied p

Eden glanced at the women before turning her attention away.There was still some time before the auction began. With nothing else to do, Eden took out her phone and started killing time by playing a game.Alain sipped his coffee calmly.Caelus and Horace had gone to the hall. Eden didn’t know why and didn’t ask.When she finished her game, Caelus and Horace returned.Caelus immediately walked over to Alain and whispered, "Mr. Wheeler is right next door."Alain’s fingers froze slightly, a glint appearing in his eyes. There was something different in his usual cold expression.Eden noticed his strange expression and frowned. "What is it?"Just then, there was a knock at the door.Caelus looked at Alain, who nodded, signaling him to open the door.As the door opened, Eden turned to look. A very handsome and graceful man entered. His eyes, in particular, seemed to hide something.Eden observed him briefly before looking away.He was attractive, but the violent aura around him

Eden threw her phone onto the table and looked at Terry coldly.Her gaze was predatory, as if she might tear him apart at any moment if she didn’t like his answer.Terry couldn’t help but instinctively freeze under her stare.The tension in the room was palpable.It took Terry a moment to collect himself before he spoke to Eden politely, "The Bloodgod Herb is useless to you. I'm willing to exchange it for even more valuable herbal materials, and I'll owe you a favor."Eden, growing impatient, propped her foot on her chair and looked at Terry like a gangster. "Is your favor worth much?""Huh?" Terry was momentarily speechless. "I think it is.""I see," Eden said with a shrug. "I don’t need it."Terry was at a loss for words.Alain, seeing Terry’s reaction, couldn’t help but laugh. "You see? My fiancée said no. I’m sorry, but I have to listen to my wife. I hope you understand.""So, you're going to snatch it from me, then?" Terry straightened up, his expression turning serious.

The host recited his opening script before finally addressing the main topic of the day. "We have six items up for auction. Five are antiques sponsored by other families, and the last is the Bloodgod Herb provided by the Parker family. I believe many of you are here for the Bloodgod Herb. Everyone knows how rare it is. Although this is an auction, the patriarch of the Parker family hopes it will go to the one who truly deserves it."The host took a deep breath before continuing, "That's why we’re increasing the number of auction items to ten. The additional four items are also rare and valuable herbal medicines, similar in appearance to the Bloodgod Herb. There will be no centerpiece in this auction, and the herbs will be auctioned off randomly. It will be up to your skills to secure the Bloodgod Herb."As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire place erupted in an uproar."What? Who has even seen a real Bloodgod Herb? How can anyone be sure they’re bidding on the right one?"
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 220
After a brief commotion, the auction proceeded as planned.Although the Parker family wasn't one of the four prominent families, some of the old-money families still had to adhere to their rules, despite their discontent.The auction was being overseen by members of the Agency. Whether it was an old-money family or one of Rielton's four prominent families, none of them wanted to cross the Agency.The first item up for auction was a pair of limited-edition earrings, designed by the famous jeweler DKL. There was only one pair like them in the world.Sponsored by the Sanders family, the starting bid for the earrings was one million dollars."Five million dollars."Quin wasted no time raising her paddle the moment she saw the earrings, immediately increasing the bidding price fivefold.When Eden heard this, she turned to look at Quin's room with a meaningful glance.Jewelry designed by DKL had always been highly coveted, and this pair of earrings quickly shot up in value, reaching
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 221
The lobby erupted once again after Alain's bold statement.The women around were starstruck. "Oh my gosh, who is that guy? How can he be so generous? Two billion for a pair of earrings for his partner?""That looks like Alain Ward from the Ward family. The woman next to him must be his fiancée. I heard he came back yesterday, but I didn’t expect him to show up at the auction. He's so generous… I'm getting jealous.""Absolutely. Jealous and envious!"Horace shot a glance at Alain, then back at Eden, before turning to Caelus. "What are these two up to? Aren’t they here for the Bloodgod Herb? Why are they bidding two billion dollars for these earrings?"Caelus looked at him like he was clueless. "Mr. Brooks, your EQ is seriously low."Horace scowled at him.Was his EQ really that low?"Can’t you tell Ms. Griffith is jealous?" Caelus stood up and patted Horace’s shoulder, explaining as if he were an expert. "Since she was getting jealous, Mr. Ward had to do something to make her ha

Vivian and Eden continued raising the bidding price.The amount had already reached $18 billion."Twenty billion!" Vivian, now visibly frustrated, upped the bid by another two billion in one go.Eden turned around and flashed a mischievous smile. "Twenty billion? That's too steep. I can't afford that."Vivian frowned, about to respond, but the host had already called the final bid. "Going once, going twice, sold! Congratulations, madam. The earrings are yours!"Vivian turned to Eden, gritting her teeth. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"Eden lifted her gaze and replied, "You started it, didn’t you?""Why you..." Vivian clutched her chest, her face pale with anger.It was only when the host delivered the earrings to Vivian did everyone in the lobby seem to snap out of their shock. Their expressions were filled with astonishment."That has to be the priciest pair of earrings this year. Nothing will top that.""It was the clash of titans.""Tsk, are they all fools?"Twent
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 223
The affluent elites of Rielton placed immense value on their lives, especially their patriarchs. They couldn't bear the thought of dying from old age and were constantly searching for ways to extend their lives, even if it meant spending a fortune on something that could give them just one more month.But extending life by three years? Eden would be rich!Eden looked at Horace with a sympathetic smile. "I have plenty. If you want, I'll sell you some at a discount. Let's say... $100,000."Horace was speechless.Caelus had no words either.Alain glanced at Eden out of the corner of his eye and smiled. "I want some too, Boss Griffith. How much for one?"Eden put down her phone and rested her cheek on her hand, thinking for a moment. "You? It's fine. I don't want your money. I'll give it to you."Horace and Caelus both felt a pang of jealousy.Was this how single people felt?It took Horace a while to regain his composure. "Is it really that easy to get?""I guess so. They sell i

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
