My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 24
Eden paused for a few seconds before leaving with Alain.The two ignored Jasmine completely.However, they had only reached the door when Jasmine caught up with them. “I’ll go visit Grandma too, Eden. I’ve not visited her since she came to Estburg.”Of course, Jasmine wasn’t there to visit Eden’s grandmother. She simply wanted to be with Alain at all times.“Scram,” Eden said icily as she frowned.She was willing to play along with Jasmine earlier because she was in a good mood.Not to mention that Jasmine had a death wish, so of course she was willing to fool around with her.But Jasmine wanting to visit her grandma?What the hell?Who was she to make that request?“Eden?” Jasmine was stunned and was about to cry.Eden didn’t even give her an ounce of respect by yelling at her in front of Alain.Eden pulled her cap further down so that she couldn’t even see Jasmine before leaving.Alain glanced frostily at Jasmine and said in an indifferent tone. “If there’s nothing else,

The moment Eden said that, the car instantly fell into dead silence.Alain looked at Eden before turning away, biting his lips. No one could tell what he was feeling from his expression.Horace frowned before finally regaining his composure. “Poisoned? Are you serious?”Eden stared at him before rolling her eyes, as if she was looking at an idiot.Horace was speechless.He had disappointed the young woman again.“Who would lie about their grandmother?” Caelus glanced at Horace as if he was looking at a fool as well.They had spent very little time with Eden, and they had never heard her say anything about the Hunt family and her grandma.But all of them knew that Eden cared about her grandmother the most.And yet Horace asked if she was joking... Of course she would look at him like he was an idiot.Caelus sighed again. Ever since Eden came, Horace’s intelligence had dropped off the cliff.“I...” Horace felt attacked.It really wasn’t because he was stupid, alright?He sim

“You’re asking me what’s wrong? Ever since she came to the Hunt family, she has been acting out. You’re a country bumpkin yourself, so I don’t expect you to teach her much about etiquette, but how can she treat Jas like a maid? Who does she think she is? How can she order my daughter around?” Melinda said angrily, completely without the grace of a proper lady.Sofia’s face turned pale as she said, “Eden’s your daughter too.”“Ha!” Melinda snorted. “She’s just a daughter that I’ve abandoned.”“How... How can you say that... You had her in your womb for nine months, didn't you? How can you be so cruel?”“So what if I am? She has had nothing to do with me ever since I decided to discard her. If it wasn’t because I need someone to get married in Jas’ place, do you think I’d ever seek her out?” Melinda sneered. “If she was half as good as Jas, maybe I’d find a way to get her back. But look at her.“She gets zero for all her subjects, and she starts fights and plays truant all year long

Eden spoke very slowly, and she sounded quite relaxed. However, it sent chills down to their core.Being glared at by Eden, Melinda could feel her heart pounding.That was so strange!Why would she feel so unwell with Eden looking at her?Melinda looked away and quietly berated herself for being scared of Eden. If Horace wasn’t here, she would have definitely taught Eden a lesson.But Horace and Caelus were both with Alain. Also, Eden was Alain’s fiancée. She couldn’t make it difficult for her.“It’s a misunderstanding. I’m just here to pay your grandmother a visit,” Melinda didn’t want to lower her head in front of Eden, but she had no choice.She couldn’t afford to anger Alain.Eden sneered, her eyes menacing. “Who do you think you are to visit my grandma?”“Why you...” Melinda was so angry that her face became pale, but she still didn’t dare to express her anger. “Eden... I’m your mother no matter what. How could you say that to me?”“Ha.” Horace couldn’t stop himself from

Melinda froze, but she quickly said with a smile. “Of... Of course we can pay for it. It’s just four hundred thousand a month. It’s not that much.”Eden glanced at her and opened the door. She called the nurse to come over. Then, she took out a card from her pocket and gave it to the nurse. “I’ll pay for a year’s worth of bills.”Alain’s eyes narrowed at the sight of the card, and there was a slight smile on his cold face.Even Horace’s eyes were opened wide in shock.A Midas Card!It was issued across the world only at a limited amount. Those who had a Midas Card all possessed at least ten billion dollars in cash.This girl even possessed a Midas Card.She was not some country girl from the outskirts; she was a hidden billionaire!Eden glanced at them before calmly looking away.Someone had given her the card.After she treated a wealthy man a few years ago, he paid her fifty million dollars for her services. He then gave her this card.All the money that she had earned thr

Eden slightly raised her eyebrow with a cold expression on her face. “Is the Hunt family that powerful?”Melinda was dumbfounded and couldn’t speak for some time.How dare she look down on the Hunt family? Who did she think she was?The Hunt family was ranked second in Estburg.“Well...” Horace smiled. “Not really.”Even discounting Alain, the Brooks family surpassed the Hunt family by a great deal.The Hunt family...They really weren’t that powerful.Not to mention that the Hunt family didn’t even qualify to apply for a Midas Card that Eden was using.Looking at the Hunt family’s financial situation, the entire family probably didn’t even have one billion in cash.And they looked down on Eden?Melinda’s expression froze; she felt very uncomfortable.In Estburg, she was always someone standing at the top of the pyramid. But when facing the Ward and Brooks family, she was less than an ant.When faced with behemoths like them, the Hunt family was really nothing.Eden walke

“Go on, fix her shoulder. Just don’t see her ever again,” Sofia said as she patted Eden’s shoulder and consoled her.Eden sighed and stood up. She pulled Melinda up and popped the dislocated arm back into her shoulder.Eden then pushed Melinda away and said, “Scram as far away as possible.”Melinda was so scared that she swallowed all the curses that she wanted to spout at Eden. She couldn’t even spout a word before quickly escaping.However, when she had just reached the door, Horace suddenly walked over and stopped her. “Mrs. Hunt, don’t you think you should apologize for yelling at her?”Then, Horace took out a small knife from his pocket and slowly tapped it on his palm with a snicker on his face.Just because Eden was going to let her go didn’t mean he was going to do the same.Even though he had his own reason for coming to the hospital with Eden to visit Sofia, Eden was Alain’s fiancée.And since she was Alain’s fiancée, she was one of them.How could he let Melinda lea

It was the first time Alain and the others met Sofia, and they weren't that familiar with each other. Sofia felt a bit uneasy, so they didn't linger in the ward. They gave Eden and Sofia some space.Once Alain and the others had left, only then did Sofia reach out and hold Eden's hand. With a loving tone, she asked, "How do you find it there? Are you settling in?""It's okay," Eden replied softly as she picked up an apple and slowly peeled its skin away.Her expression remained impassive as she focused on the task.Sofia gently patted her hand and sighed. "I know you don't like talking about your mother. Neither do I. But she's still your biological mother. There are some things we have to let go."Eden said nothing and continued peeling the apple in silence.Seeing Eden's reluctance to discuss the topic, Sofia changed the subject. "Is your schooling all set?""Yeah," Eden nodded. "I'll be at Riverside Senior High.""That's a good school. Focus on your studies there," Sofia enc

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
