After chatting for a while, Sinead finally introduced the elderly people who came with her. “These are the physicists I invited from Rielton. They’ll be tutoring you in physics starting today.”Eden raised an eyebrow. Physicists?“Mr. Grant called me and mentioned you signed up for the international physics competition. He even said you might make it to the finals if you work hard.”Sinead didn’t exactly share Mr. Grant’s confidence in Eden’s chances, given her academic track record, but since he was so optimistic, Sinead didn’t want to dampen her spirits.“I thought about it and decided to bring in a few physicists to tutor you. The preliminaries start in two days, so they’ll stay here to make it easier for you to prepare.”Eden was speechless.How little faith did Grant have in her?She rubbed her forehead. She wasn’t fond of being around too many people.But Sinead was doing this out of kindness. Would refusing her hurt her feelings?Alain, just coming downstairs, overheard

Eden glanced at each question and immediately knew all the answers.After reading through them all, she quickly filled in the answers on the paper. Her writing was extremely cursive, as she was eager to get to the hospital to visit Jerred. Fortunately, the physicists could still make out what she had written.She handed the paper to the physicists, and an older man with white hair took it, looking surprised. “You’re done already?”Eden nodded. “Take a look.”The man, Andrew Hughes, was the most senior physicist at the Physics Research Institute and a professor in the physics department at Rielton University. He was highly experienced and had mentored many exceptional students.He had personally created the questions for the test. With the sudden rule change that only allowed senior high school students to compete in the International Physics Competition, many were left scrambling. The difficulty level of national competitions was still quite different from the international stage.

When Eden was working on the papers, Alain had already left to take care of something else.Thinking Alain was busy, Eden didn’t bother calling him and went to the hospital on her own.Jerred’s condition had improved significantly after the Banevermin had been removed from his body. Thanks to Eden’s medicine, he was quickly regaining his strength.However, after being bedridden for nearly half a year, he was still physically weak—much like Alain had been when affected by the Seductress’s Sanguine. He couldn’t lift anything heavy at all.Once Eden finished the needling therapy on Jerred, she said, “To fully recover, you’ll need to take the Physique-Enhancing Infused Bath, which I’ll personally prepare. But I won’t be around much to keep an eye on things since I’m joining a physics competition. I’ll visit the Hunt family later and have your father look after you.”The staff and equipment here were all arranged by Alain himself—top of the line, with none better in the business. But t

"I’m warning you. With me here, I won’t let you hurt her again!" Melinda shouted fiercely at Eden.She had completely forgotten that the young woman standing before her was also her daughter—the daughter she had carried for ten months and abandoned after giving birth.Eden just looked at her, calm and composed.Melinda, feeling unsettled by Eden’s gaze, said anxiously, "Why... Why are you looking at me like that? Are you thinking of hitting me? This is the Hunt family, not the Ward family. You can’t just do whatever you want here.""My name is Eden Griffith," Eden said suddenly."I know you’re Eden Griffith! Are you trying to remind me how much trouble you’ve caused me?" Melinda’s anger hadn’t subsided. "You don’t need to remind me; I’ll never forget...""I am the daughter of Matthew Griffith and Melinda Moore," Eden said calmly, raising her eyes to meet Melinda’s.Eden didn’t know why she said that. It was the only thing she could think of at that moment, maybe to remind Melind

Back at Skygarden, Alain returned from handling business and found several physicists working on papers spread out on the table and floor, covered in letters and symbols.He quickly noticed that Eden wasn’t among them.Alain picked up a sheet of paper and asked, “Where’s Eden?”Andrew didn’t even look up from his work. “She’s out. Go away. You’re disturbing us.”Alain was taken aback. Disturbing them from working on questions? Were they not supposed to be here to tutor Eden?The physicists clearly weren’t interested in acknowledging Alain. He rubbed his forehead and decided to let it go.With nothing else to do, Alain stood behind Andrew and examined the questions. His expression grew serious.The questions were clearly set at a national competition level, suggesting they were intentionally difficult for Eden since she didn’t know much.Yet, the approach they were using to solve them was quite different, and Alain found himself getting drawn in.When Eden came home, she saw th

Caelus nodded. “That’s right. This hacker is very skilled. Even Hackers United hasn’t been able to find out anything about him so far. He’s managed to hack into your computer without touching anything, just coding it to display this.”Horace rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “Think hard about whether you’ve offended anyone recently.”“I haven’t!” Alain replied with a dark expression.He had been with Eden almost all the time, only going to Joy’s family home once in between. Most of the time, he was either dropping Eden off at school or dealing with matters in the Steppe Continent with Horace and the others.He was certain he hadn’t crossed anyone recently. But someone seemed intent on causing trouble.“That’s odd. Who could be targeting you?” Horace asked seriously. “We need to find out soon. We can’t always be on guard against tricks like this.”“Not to mention our people can’t spend too much time in Rielton. The old-money families haven’t made any major moves, so spying on them is

The paper that Andrew and the others prepared was much tougher this time. They had crafted questions at the level of an international competition. Eden had noticeably slowed down compared to her previous pace.When Andrew saw Eden’s slower progress, he couldn’t help but smile. This was the normal speed of a high school student.But his smile faded when Eden put down her pen and announced, “I’m done.”Andrew’s smile froze in place.He picked up the paper, staring at Eden in shock, then back at the paper, as if the words he wanted to say had vanished from his mind.The questions had been set by five veteran physicists, and Eden had completed them all in just 35 minutes.They weren’t sure how accurate her answers were, but the speed was astonishing.Andrew adjusted his glasses and began marking the papers.The more he marked, the more impressed he became.Even he struggled with some of these questions and had intended to challenge Eden. Yet, it seemed she was on the right track.
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 307
Andrew wondered if the Wards were just being polite or if they were making a joke out of him.How could they claim Eden was lacking when she was clearly so gifted?He was so frustrated that his chest felt tight.Without waiting for Alain to respond, Andrew left with the other physicists.Alain looked at Eden and asked, “What happened? Did you upset them?”“Maybe they thought the questions were too easy for me and couldn’t come up with anything harder?” Eden shrugged, still in a good mood.Alain was at a loss for words and didn’t buy her explanation.He shook his head and sighed. “Fine, if they can’t teach you, I’ll find you a few more tutors.”He wanted to support her since she was interested in participating in a physics competition.Eden’s smile froze as she turned to him, her expression darkening.She then said, gritting her teeth, “Are you bored?”“Huh?” Alain was taken aback.What was going on?She was in a good mood just a moment ago; why had her mood shifted so sudd

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

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
