My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 32
Eden had tried to ask Sofia about her father several times, but Sofia refused to speak about it.That was why when Melinda came looking for her, Eden didn't hesitate to agree to come to Estburg.Once in Estburg, she used her hacking skills to access a certain agency's records of all incoming and outgoing persons from the past 20 years. Strangely, there was no record of her father's arrival at all.It was as if her father had never existed in this world.She refused to believe that a living, breathing person could simply disappear without a trace.Even if her grandmother tried to stop her, Eden was determined to continue her investigation.After standing silently for a long time, Eden turned around, tucked Sofia in, and left the ward.Meanwhile, Alain went to the doctor's office.Dr. Smith, Sofia's attending physician, had just finished surgery. Upon hearing that Alain was looking for him, he immediately hurried over."Mr. Ward," Dr. Smith said nervously, standing beside Alain,

"Don't worry about it," Dr. Smith reassured Eden with a smile.When the young woman stood next to Alain and spoke about her grandmother, Dr. Smith instantly understood the situation.She was likely Alain's lover.If that was the case, he naturally needed to show her more respect.By the time they left the hospital, the sky had almost darkened.Horace mentioned a new restaurant in the city center that was creating a buzz, suggesting they give it a try. Alain thought it was a good idea since he hadn't taken Eden out for a meal since her arrival.Once Eden got into the car, she rested against the window with a subdued posture, showing little excitement.Alain glanced at her. Since leaving the hospital, her brow had been furrowed. He wasn't sure if she was worried about Sofia's illness, but her usually assertive demeanor had softened, revealing a hint of vulnerability.He gently patted Eden's shoulder with a reassuring expression. "Don't worry. The specialty drugs won't run out as

The new restaurant was Kentran.When they arrived, Alain asked Horace to take Eden upstairs while he stayed behind to speak with Caelus about something. Afterward, Caelus left.Eden wasn't particularly hungry, so she stopped eating after a few bites. She asked the waiter for a few bottles of beer and expertly opened one with her teeth, like a seasoned pro.She enjoyed drinking beer; it helped soothe her irritation. Other types of alcohol like wine and imports weren't her thing.Horace was amazed at her skill. "You're only 19, yet you're drinking like that?"Eden glanced at him with a hint of attitude. "Got a problem with that?""Uh, no, none," Horace stammered nervously, feeling insecure under her disdainful gaze. He would be glad if she would stop looking at him like he was an idiot.Eden ignored him and focused on her phone, sipping her beer.Watching her down bottle after bottle, Horace couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is the beer that good?"Accustomed to expensive red wi

She didn't reply and immediately pocketed her phone.As they got out of the car, Alain naturally took Eden's hand, and she didn't resist. It was unclear whether she had grown accustomed to it or found comfort in his warmth.Caelus pressed the doorbell, and Mrs. Johnson opened the door. She was momentarily taken aback, seeing so many people outside, including Jasmine and Eden. "Jasmine, why have you returned?"Spotting Horace behind Jasmine, Mrs. Johnson added hastily, "And Mr. Brooks as well."Having never seen Alain before, she didn't acknowledge him. As for Eden, Catherine had been coming home every day recently to discuss how to persuade Eden to return.Eden paid no heed to Mrs. Johnson's indifference."Where are my parents, Mrs. Johnson?" Jasmine asked with a serious expression. "Are they home? Is Madam Catherine and Mr. Edison home as well?"Before Mrs. Johnson could speak, Melinda appeared. "Who is it, Mrs. Johnson?"Upon seeing who was at the door, she was instantly shoc

Melinda shot Eden a piercing glare.She had never expressed a desire to disown Eden; it was Eden who had declared she wanted nothing to do with the Hunt family.Yet, Alain not only took her statement seriously but had now brought Jasmine and Eden back home.No matter how furious she felt, pleasing Alain was now her priority.Melinda was acutely aware that if Alain decided to break off the engagement, her future days in the Hunt family would be fraught with difficulty."I didn’t say I want to break the engagement," Alain stated emotionlessly as he gazed at Catherine.The elderly woman was taken aback, sighing heavily. "Looks like I’ve had a misunderstanding.""You did misunderstand," Alain affirmed as he rose to his feet, casting a long shadow in the room's light.With an icy demeanor, he declared, "The consequence of severing ties with Eden is this: I will withdraw all my investment with the Hunt family."What?Catherine gasped, nearly falling back into her seat.Withdraw hi

Horace pulled her aside and taunted her with a smile. "How shameless can you be? You scolded her like she was worthless in front of her grandmother this afternoon, and now you're begging her for your own benefit? How did you manage to develop such thick skin?"Horace was growing increasingly irritated with Melinda. He couldn't fathom anyone else behaving like her as a mother.Melinda avoided Horace's gaze, keeping her eyes down and saying nothing.Alain glanced at her, then opened the car door and got in.Both Horace and Caelus disregarded Melinda as well.As the car departed, Catherine rushed out. She raised her walking stick and swung it down on Melinda. "You wretch! Why did our family accept you as a daughter-in-law?""It wasn't me…" Melinda winced as the blows landed on her back, but she didn't dare to retaliate, enduring the pain. "I never said I wanted to get rid of Eden. It was Eden who wanted to sever ties with us. You have to believe me."Jasmine watched from the side,

On their way back to Skygarden, the more Horace dwelled on Melinda's behavior, the more enraged he became. Unable to contain himself, he turned to Eden and asked bluntly, "Is she really your biological mother?"Eden tilted her head slightly and gave him a mischievous smile. "She really is.""Why do I get the feeling you were picked up from somewhere else?" Horace mused, narrowing his eyes. Then a thought struck him, and he ventured, "Maybe you should go for a maternity test?"He couldn't shake the feeling that Melinda and Eden weren't genuinely mother and daughter. No mother, he thought, would treat their own child in such a callous manner."Sheesh, tell me about it," Eden chuckled, her laughter light but tinged with melancholy.Even Horace couldn't help but feel sorry for her.The truth was, Eden had indeed undergone a maternity test. On the day Melinda found her, Eden had discreetly obtained Melinda's DNA for analysis. The result was disappointing—Melinda was indeed her biologi

Very quickly, there was a knock on the office door.Three men and a woman entered.The woman walked over to the desk and addressed Samuel with an air of pride. "Is there something important that requires my attention, Mr. Samuel? I'm overseeing an intensive class, so I need to monitor the students during their morning reading session."The woman was Miriam Walker, the homeroom teacher of Class 3-1, who had been handling senior intensive classes for the past five years and took great pride in her role at the school.The other three men greeted Samuel respectfully.Samuel gestured toward the girl sitting across from him and introduced, "Let me introduce you. This is our new transfer student, Eden Griffith. Who can take her under their wing?""Transfer student?" Miriam regarded Eden with suspicion. "We've been in session for over a month now, and midterms are approaching. You're saying she's transferring in at this point?"The other three teachers were curious but didn't voice any
