My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 314
After school, Eden and Alain headed straight to the hotel.Terry was already on his way to Estburg, having boarded their private jet around two in the afternoon.Knowing Eden's temper, Terry didn’t call her. Instead, he simply sent her their current location and waited. He let out a sigh of relief when she responded with, "Got it."He had been worried that Eden was toying with him.Eden didn’t think much of him.When Eden and Alain arrived, Terry greeted her, but she merely nodded coldly before walking over to August Wheeler, the old man. She ignored Terry completely.Terry smiled awkwardly and followed behind Eden without saying a word.Eden began checking August’s pulse, and her expression darkened.Suddenly, she stood up and coughed up a mouthful of blood.Alain’s face immediately twisted as he grabbed Terry by the collar, his expression menacing. "What did you do to her?!"Terry, equally shocked, frowned. "I didn’t do anything!"He’d asked Eden to treat August—if he had

Terry remained silent, carefully considering Eden’s demand.Her change of heart had to be because of August’s condition.The price she was asking for was steep, which meant the disease—or whatever it was—was not something easy to cure.But giving up all of the Wheeler household’s assets…That would be incredibly difficult.Though he was the eldest of the grandchildren, Terry was still just a bastard. His standing in the family came solely from August’s affection for him.When August fell ill, the family split into two factions.One wanted him treated; the other didn’t.Now that Eden was demanding all of the family’s assets, they would never agree.Terry bit his lip and asked, "What kind of disease is it?""It’s not exactly a disease, but more of a toxin." Eden paused, then added, "To be precise, it’s Banevermin.""Banevermin?"Alain and Terry both turned pale.Old-money families and prominent dynasties that had been around for centuries were no strangers to toxins.Even o

Eden handed Terry a few Panacea Elixirs, instructing him to give one to August every day.Curing the Antipode Vermin was incredibly complicated. Eden asked Terry to take August home for now, assuring him that once she finished her current tasks, she would personally go and treat him.Back at Skygarden, Eden prepared another batch of Panacea Elixirs and had Alain deliver them to Terry.The next day, despite working late into the night, Eden still had to go to school. Grant had rejected her leave request.However, she ended up sleeping through most of her classes, only waking up during the last one in the afternoon.As soon as she woke up, her phone rang.Seeing the caller, Eden stepped into the bathroom to answer."Ms. Griffith, we need your help." The voice on the other end was stern.With her left hand in her pocket, Eden looked down. "What’s this about?""It’s difficult to explain over the phone. I need to meet you." The seriousness in his voice was unmistakable.Eden furro

After hanging up, Xander hesitated and said, “Ms. Griffith, you might have to take a cab back. The boss needs me to go to him immediately.”Eden nodded, her face impassive. “Pull over.”Xander pulled to the side, and just as he did, his phone started ringing again. Eden overheard him say, “The boss already called. I’ll head over soon. I’ve deployed everyone available in Estburg to help the local police search for Mr. Brooks.”Eden was about to leave when she heard this, and her fingers froze. She narrowed her eyes, deep in thought.Xander continued his conversation before hanging up.Eden looked up, biting her lip. “What happened to Horace?”“Huh?” Xander turned around, surprised. “You’re still here?”He had been preoccupied all day, so when the call came, he was focused entirely on it, not realizing Eden hadn’t left. Did she hear everything?“What happened to Horace?” Eden asked again, her frown deepening as the atmosphere around her grew even colder.Suppressing her growing

Caelus and Xander exchanged glances.After a moment, Xander asked, "How does the police chief know Ms. Griffith?"Caelus, equally curious, turned to look at Eden. "I don’t know."Alain glanced at Eden from the corner of his eye and said slowly, "You’re full of surprises, Ms. Griffith."Eden always managed to surprise him.Eden returned the glance, her face expressionless. "When did Horace disappear?"If it were anyone else, she wouldn’t have interfered. But because it involved Horace, she had to step in."For the past two weeks, prominent families in Rielton have reported their sons and daughters missing. No ransom calls, and after 24 hours, sawed-off limbs were delivered to their families. No one can track down the person behind it."Alain guided Eden to a nearby sofa and sat her down. Noticing her cold hand, he tucked it into his pocket. "Horace is the tenth to disappear. He’s been missing for 20 hours."A few days ago, Horace and Caelus were sent to investigate an issue in

Eden emphasized once more, “Remember, I want every single piece of security camera footage.”Jason nodded. “I’ll have my team get on it. What else do we need?”“Do we have the bodies of the people who disappeared from Estburg?” Eden asked.“We do.”“Then let’s head to the forensics lab and get the equipment ready.”Jason nodded and instructed his team to prepare.He didn’t think twice about following the orders of a 19-year-old girl.Once Jason left, Eden turned to Alain. “Do we have anyone in Rielton?”“We do,” Alain replied with a smile, his hands in his pockets.“What about Estburg?” Eden asked, smiling as if nothing was wrong.She was in no rush.“We do as well,” Alain said, his eyes narrowing and his smile widening.She looked different when she was serious.“Arrange for our men to guard all the entrances and exits in Rielton and Estburg.”“Alright.”Alain gave Caelus a look, and Caelus immediately understood and left.Eden didn’t glance at him again and went strai

Eden felt like she had seen this person before, but her memory was a bit fuzzy; she couldn’t quite place it.She rested her chin on her hand while tapping the table with a cold expression.This wasn’t a simple task.The technician quickly sent all the other footage to Eden’s computer.Without thinking about anything else, Eden began reconstructing all the deleted footage.It was a massive job. Alain, who knew little about digital technology, couldn’t assist. Seeing Eden’s intense focus, he poured a glass of hot water and placed it on her table.Eden worked swiftly. Within twenty minutes, she had restored all the deleted footage.She continued her work.A red dot on the screen scanned the footage, while Eden’s fingers flew over the keyboard.After half an hour, Eden stopped working.At the same time, the red dot on the screen stopped on an old-style apartment.Alain checked the time. They had two and a half hours left.“Xander,” Alain called out, tucking his mobile into his

When Horace faced the kidnapper, he was unable to defend himself before being knocked out.Recalling the man, Horace couldn’t hide his terror. “Alain, he’s not just a man. He’s a monster.”Alain’s expression grew serious. It was rare for anyone to scare Horace this much.“You won’t believe it, but that man… No, that monster… He doesn’t have a face,” Horace said, shaking his head. “Or rather, he has a face but no skin.”The more Horace tried to explain, the more confused he became. “Let me put it this way. His face was all bloodied, and his skin seemed to be rotting. It looked like it had been burned, but not exactly burned. Anyway, I can’t really describe what he looks like.”Eden narrowed her eyes as she listened to Horace’s description. “What did he do to you?”“Caelus saved me before he could do anything,” Horace replied, his eyes filled with fear. “He… He drank human blood right in front of me…”Eden stroked her chin thoughtfully, considering his words carefully.After a mo
