Everyone in the living room was stunned by Eden's words.William was the first to react, standing up urgently. "No, you can't leave!"Alain's second uncle, Wallace Ward, quickly added, "That's right. You can't leave before everything is settled."Eden raised an eyebrow. "What's going on?"Helena snorted and said, "Drop the act. You used the Ward family fund to win the auction for the Bloodgod Herb, so naturally, it belongs to the Ward family. If you want to leave, fine. But only after you hand over the Bloodgod Herb.""Oh?" Eden said with a smile, turning to look at Alain, her voice ice-cold. "So, the Wards are trying to steal from me, huh?"Alain's expression darkened, a glint flashing in his eyes.But he quickly masked his emotions, walked over to Eden, and gently patted her head. "The Bloodgod Herb is yours. No one can take it from you."Helena suddenly slammed the table and stood up, furious. "Alain, don't forget you are the scion of the Ward family. Your main priority shou

Sinead turned and stared at Helena, making her increasingly uncomfortable.After a long pause, Sinead finally smiled. "Do you have any medical skills? Does anyone in our family possess great medical skills?"William frowned. "We're talking about the Bloodgod Herb. What does that have to do with medical skills?""William, you should stay quiet since you've never contributed to the family," Sinead replied coldly."Why you..." William started angrily but couldn't find the words to argue back.Ignoring him, Sinead focused on Helena. "The reason so many families are after the Bloodgod Herb is because it's essential in creating medicines that can treat various rare diseases."In prominent families like the Rieltons or other old-money families, they all have members over a hundred years old. That's why almost everyone has someone medically skilled in the family. They need the Bloodgod Herb to make medicine. Who among us is suffering from such strange diseases?""Doesn't Dad have the Se

"There are some things I know I shouldn’t be the one to say, Helena. But you leave me no choice," Sinead said, her expression stony. "Since your marriage into the Johnson family, you've taken plenty from the Wards to benefit the Johnsons, right? I believe it’s worth several billions at least. I also decided not to worry about what you’ve received from the Ward family's profits."But now, I think it’s best for you to stop coming back to the Wards so often. Don’t worry, even though you’re part of another family, I won’t take your shares away."Helena stared at Sinead in shock. "What are you saying? Are you trying to kick me out of the Ward family?""Listen to yourself. If you can decide who my future daughter-in-law will be, why can’t I help my father-in-law decide who to kick out?" Sinead said slowly."I..." Helena’s face turned red, leaving her speechless.She then turned to William.After a moment of hesitation, William finally spoke. "Even so, we can’t give the Bloodgod Herb to

Eden looked down, her cap shading her face. No one could see her expression, but they all felt the sudden shift in the atmosphere around her.She stood there like a demon rising from the depths of hell.Alain sensed the change too and whispered, "What happened?"Eden looked at him, her voice icy. "My grandma's condition has worsened. The hospital and research institute both ran out of a specific drug."Alain's expression tightened as he gently rubbed her head. "Don't worry. I'll make some calls."He then stepped outside, pulling out his phone.Eden stood there for a long time before finally lifting her head and leaving.Before she left, she turned and looked at the members of the Ward family with an icy gaze. Everyone who met her eyes felt a chill run down their spine.She turned away and left without a word.Alain made several calls, his expression darkening with each one. After hanging up the last call, he turned to Eden. "Someone took all the specific drugs from the medical
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 245
"How long will it take?" Eden asked."I'm not sure. The Agency doesn't control international flights," Liam replied. "But I'll do my best to get the drugs to you."Eden looked at Alain, then back at the phone. "Contact Arctic Hawk first."After hanging up, Eden walked over to Alain."Can you get someone from the Median Continent here in three hours?" They needed four hours to get from Rielton to Estburg. By car, they should be able to get back in three."If Arctic Hawk can get the drugs to Estburg in three hours, my grandma can be saved.""I can," Alain said, holding Eden in his arms. He could feel her trembling as her hands tightened. "I'll arrange for a private jet. Have your friend get to the airport right away."Eden nodded and turned to call Arctic Hawk. After explaining the situation, she agreed without hesitation.By the time Eden ended the call, Caelus had already driven the car over.Sinead had also packed their luggage and brought it out.She took Eden's hands. "Don

Eden instantly relaxed her tense body.The car was still speeding down the highway. Eden leaned back in her seat and closed her eyes, her earlier intensity fading away. Alain pulled her into his arms, and she immediately shrank, her fierceness melting into gentleness.Alain patted her back and said, "I'm here."Eden didn’t respond, but Alain could feel her warmth against his chest.He sighed. The only person who could make her let go of her pride and intensity was Sofia.He couldn’t bear to think about what would happen if they couldn’t save her.The car was very quiet. Even the usually talkative Horace was silent, sensing Eden’s anxiety and choosing not to add to her stress.Eden huddled in Alain’s arms, her eyes closed but her mind alert, anxiously waiting for updates from the hospital.Alain held his phone, monitoring the situation in the operating theater. Sofia wasn’t in immediate danger, and the doctors were watching over her closely.Suddenly, Alain’s eyes narrowed and

It was Eden's phone ringing. She glanced at the caller ID and narrowed her eyes. After a moment, she closed the door and answered the call.Before she could speak, Jonathan’s voice came through, urgent and strained. "Boss Griffith, a powerful group has arrived. They are faster and more brutal than we expected. Our people were wiped out before they could react. We've lost hundreds..."Jonathan took a deep breath and continued, "I can see they’re heading towards the hospital. When are you coming back... Damn it!"Gunshots and the sound of a screeching vehicle interrupted him.Eden lowered her head, her cap obscuring her expression. After a moment, she looked up and said, "Let them into the city. Order your team to head to the hospital immediately. My grandma is... Tell Kyle to seal all the city's exits. No one leaves the city tonight!"Jonathan shuddered at her chilling tone. He had never heard Boss Griffith speak with such intensity before. Something was seriously wrong with Sofia!

Talia arrived at the hospital with Peter. The scene of destruction made her frown and look around with a stern expression.Peter quickly had his men secure the area as gunshots rang out around them.Talia took a moment to compose herself before saying, "Grandma Sofia..."Without looking back, she ran straight toward the operating theater.Peter was taken aback and shouted, "Come back, Talia!"But Talia seemed to be completely focused and continued forward.Peter was frantic. He wanted to catch up to her but was suddenly fired upon. He dodged the shot but had to focus on defending himself, unable to follow her.Outside the operating theater, the corridor was littered with bodies. Talia's heart raced as she pushed open the door.Her expression shifted when she saw the inside, and she rushed to Sofia, who was still on the operating table. "Grandma Sofia..."Sofia had been saved earlier by Dr. Keith and others, so she was conscious. Even though she had been injured, she was still

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
