My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 251
After a long time, Eden took a piece of white fabric and gently covered Sofia.Eden smiled bitterly. "Death... it's freedom, isn't it?"Suddenly, she paused. "But no one has the right to steal your life from me!"Eden turned and opened the door to the operating theater.When Alain saw her emerge, he glanced inside. The white fabric stood out starkly. He narrowed his eyes, wanting to console Eden, but he didn’t know how.Eden pulled her cap down and looked at Caelus, who had just returned after taking Talia home."Caelus, can you please take care of my grandmother's funeral," she asked, her voice faint but steady. Her face remained expressionless as she spoke.Caelus and Horace's expressions both darkened. They wanted to say something but couldn't.After a while, Caelus took a deep breath and nodded. "Understood.""Thank you."Eden then turned to Alain and asked with a smile, "Alain, may I borrow your power?"She beamed, almost like the sun breaking through clouds as the flow

The entire city of Estburg had turned into a slaughterhouse.Those who came seeking trouble now lay lifeless on the ground, becoming corpses themselves.Alain was like a demon emerging from the deepest pit of hell, reaping one soul after another. Determined not to let Eden stain her hands any further, he moved so quickly that his enemies couldn’t even react.Despite this, he didn’t feel tired. He didn’t pause to catch his breath; he just kept on killing.Horace, Caelus, Jonathan, and everyone else could only stand there, silently witnessing the carnage.Eden looked at the tall figure. Her vision seemed blurry.Alain returned from the piles of corpses and picked up his blazer. He then held Eden tightly, his voice gentle. "Let's go home."Eden raised her head and looked at him. "Alright."Horace then drove Alain and Eden back home, while Caelus stayed behind to handle the aftermath.Due to Peter's status, he stayed and went directly to the funeral home.On their way back to Sky

"Alright," Alain said as he put away his mobile, then handed a jacket to Eden for her to wear.When Eden and Alain arrived at the funeral home, Caelus had already taken care of everything.Everyone who had received the news had already arrived.Some were there because of Alain. Others came for Eden.Samuel and Peter were present.Edmund was the only one from the Hunt family.Cielo represented the Navarro family.Skylar represented the Parker family.Terry represented the Wheeler family.Ryan represented the Olsons.They all came because of Eden.Geoffrey and Sinead had arrived a few hours earlier. Once they heard about Sofia's passing, they went straight to the funeral home.Julius couldn’t attend due to health reasons, and the rest of the Ward family didn’t go at all.Some of the others from the wealthy families went because of Alain.As soon as Eden arrived, Sinead quickly walked over, held Eden’s hand and patted it, her eyes brimming with tears. “My condolences, Eden.”

When Eden heard what the man said, she looked him in the eye and let out a cold sneer.She walked over to the young man and raised her hand, gripping his chin. "Cousin? You think you're worthy?""You..." The man struggled in anger, but soon realized that Eden was stronger than he expected; he couldn’t even move.After a moment of silence, he said, "No matter what, she was still a daughter of the Smith family. That’s an immutable fact. Even though she betrayed the family, the Smiths have still sent someone to her funeral after her passing. You should be grateful."When Alain, Horace, Caelus, and the others heard this, they were all shocked.Sofia was a member of an old-money family... She was a Smith.Alain's dark eyes narrowed as he looked at the man, a thought flashing through his mind.He knew Sofia wasn’t an ordinary woman, but a daughter of the Smith family?No wonder an old woman living in the countryside, with no ties to worldly politics, would have a Heartgorger planted

In the afternoon after the burial.Talia stood behind Eden, her eyes fixed on Eden's slender figure, feeling upset. Eden had always been the same, concealing her own vulnerabilities.Why did someone as kind as her always seem to face misfortune?Talia turned to Alain, her gaze darkening. He hadn’t protected Eden properly. He wasn’t worthy of being by her side.Geoffrey and Sinead, worried about Eden, personally took her back to Skygarden."Eden, don’t worry about school," Sinead said gently. "Geoffrey and I will handle the paperwork for your leave. Take a few more days to rest, and let Alain take you somewhere to unwind. It’s okay if you don’t get into university this year. If you want to continue your studies, you can do it next year. And if you don’t, that’s fine too. Just take some time to enjoy yourself."Sinead was worried that Eden wouldn’t be able to move on and didn’t even dare to mention Sofia.Letting Eden relax somewhere else seemed like the best way to help her right

Caelus and Horace were taken aback. Weren’t they discussing Eden? Why had the conversation suddenly shifted to the four prominent families? Still, Caelus didn’t question Alain and simply nodded. "Alright."Alain lit a cigarette and gazed out the window. "The world’s changing."Horace’s heart skipped a beat. "You’re saying someone’s planning to act against the four families? What does this have to do with Eden?"Alain turned around, his eyes dark. "Sofia was from the Smith family.""But her name was stricken from the family records, right?" Horace asked, puzzled. "And she’s already passed away. What value could she possibly have?""Eden does," Alain replied slowly. "Even if someone hid her entire identity, the Smiths wouldn’t have a hard time uncovering it. Her medical skills alone make her a significant threat."Horace seemed to recall something. "The Smiths want to eliminate the four families?""It’s worse," Alain said, lighting another cigarette as he finished the first one.

When Arctic Hawk received Eden's call, she was already on her way back from the Median Continent with the specialized drug. But by the time she returned, it was too late. Eden then instructed her to head to Sirona to defend her home and ensure no one entered.However, there were no flights or trains between Estburg and Sirona, so she had to drive. Due to poor road conditions, it took her two days to arrive."It's fine," Eden said coldly, pulling her cap down. "As long as they don't enter, ignore them.""Alright!" Arctic replied angrily. "But don’t worry, take your time. Leave this place to me. I'll protect your home with everything I have. If they want what I have, they’ll have to prove they're capable.""Thanks."Eden trusted Arctic Hawk’s abilities.The Four Kings of the Agency were tightly knit. No matter who was in trouble, the other three would do everything they could to help.However, Eden didn’t ask for Black Panther and King Cobra’s help. Their identities were too uniqu

No one had been in the room for a very long time. A thin layer of dust covered everything inside.Eden stood in the middle of the room, taking in the decor. She felt her eyes well up again.But she quickly pulled herself together. She found a box beneath the goddess statue her grandmother had mentioned.There was a key underneath the box. She opened it and took out what was inside.It was the Scarlet Jade of Thousand Mountains. Eden didn’t recognize it, but she knew her grandmother had lost her life for it.She narrowed her eyes. What exactly was this thing?Sofia was already around seventy years old and didn’t have many years left. Why would they choose to kill her now? And why hadn’t they come for the jade?It meant that the people who killed Sofia and those who were here now weren’t from the same group.The day after Sofia’s death, Eden had used every channel available to investigate the origins of those responsible. But there was no trace of them; it was as if they had appe

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
