For the next few days, Eden and Alain were both occupied with their own work.Alain was busy handling the murder cases and investigating the entomancers.Eden was focused on discussing physics research with the professors at the research institute.Although Eden said she would move to Pear Garden, someone reported to the professors that a person had been leaving late at night alone. As a result, the institute increased security and prohibited anyone from entering or leaving after hours.Even though this wasn’t enough to stop Eden, she didn’t feel the need to leave either.She spent the next few days staying inside the research institute.Then, the test for the semi-finals began.This time, each of the ten continents sent a renowned physician to set the test questions, making the competition extremely difficult by international standards.After the written test, half of the students had their heads hung low.Even fewer smiled after completing the laboratory test.Once the lab

“Ms. Griffith, Mr. and Mrs. Ward are already on their way, but they refuse to let Alain go,” Caelus said, waiting at the entrance of the research institute.He knew Eden wouldn’t leave Alain to his fate.Wasting no time, Caelus opened the car door for Eden and added, “Sulien is treating the boss right now, but it’s not going well. You need to take a look.”Eden lowered her head in silence, her mood heavy.Caelus, knowing her temperament, didn’t say much. He drove in quiet understanding.After half an hour, the car pulled up in front of a grand villa—the Johnson family residence.Caelus led Eden into a living room, where they were met with the sound of shouting. “Geoffrey, your son raped my daughter! Not only do you refuse to admit it, you’re trying to pin the blame on me? Let me warn you, if you don’t give us a proper explanation, the Johnson family will do everything in its power to destroy you.“And so what if the Ward family is the most powerful of the four prominent families

Eden ignored Helena and the others, then closed the door behind her.Inside the room, Alain lay in a deep sleep, drenched in sweat. His left arm was in bandages, and he was clearly in bad shape.Sulien, uncertain of what to do, stood up quickly when he saw Eden enter. “Come take a look, Ms. Griffith,” he said.Eden walked over to Alain’s side, checked his pulse, then unbuttoned his collar. Her eyebrows furrowed instantly.Without delay, she pulled her hand back, scribbled the names of a few ingredients, and handed the prescription to Sulien. “Get the medicine ready,” she instructed.Sulien immediately passed it to Caelus and returned to the room after it had been prepared.Looking at Alain with concern, Sulien asked, “What kind of aphrodisiac is this? How is it so strong?”“A special kind. It’s not sold on the market,” Eden replied, her voice cold. Sulien shuddered instinctively.Eden lowered her eyes and gazed at Alain, feeling a strange emotion stir within her.Despite the d

Eden massaged her forehead and calmly asked, “Where’s Quin?”“Ms. Vivian took her back to her room,” Caelus replied.Eden nodded and stood up immediately. “Take Alain back.”With Eden here, Caelus felt like it was Alain himself giving the order. He quickly hoisted Alain onto his back and followed Eden out of the room.Outside, Vivian saw Caelus carrying Alain and hurried to block him. “Where are you taking him? This isn’t over yet.”Caelus, who had always disliked the Johnson family—especially after they trapped Alain—replied darkly, “The Johnson household knows exactly what happened today. Once Mr. Alain wakes up, he’ll settle the score with you. If you try to stop me, I won’t bother with this facade of respect any longer.”“I see!” Vivian shouted angrily. “Looks like your family is determined to be our enemies. Fine, let’s see if you can walk out of the gates today.”She didn’t hesitate. “Men! Block all exits. Kill anyone who tries to leave.”Aside from Geoffrey and Sinead, e

Seeing Eden ignore her, Vivian’s face flushed with anger. She was about to explode when Helena stepped in, signaling her to stay calm.Though Vivian looked down on Eden, she knew Eden wasn’t just any ordinary country girl. She needed to figure out what Eden was planning and come up with ways to counter her.Eden gave them all a lazy glance, then turned to Geoffrey and Sinead. “There’s no need for you to handle something as minor as this,” she said.After a brief pause, she added, “As for the rest of the Ward family… if they want to leave, let them.”“Eden, leave this to me and Geoffrey. Go take care of Alain, alright?” Sinead said, gently patting Eden’s shoulder to console her.Sinead knew Eden wasn’t like other women—she was powerful and had her own connections. But today’s situation might be beyond Eden’s ability to handle. It could be more than what the Ward family could manage.The Johnson family was no ordinary family; they had been around for centuries. Be it in terms of fi

Eden shot her a cold glare. "You don’t get to make decisions for the Johnson family. I won’t negotiate with you.""Why you..." Helena's face twisted in rage, ready to launch into a tirade when someone cut her off."Enough!"It was the Johnson family patriarch, Bane Johnson, who spoke. Ever since Geoffrey decided to let Eden handle this, Bane had been observing her closely.There was nothing particularly remarkable about her, aside from her striking beauty and the air of authority she carried despite her young age. Even while facing the Johnson family, she remained calm, demanding compensation without so much as a change in expression. He could tell it wasn’t just for show.Bane glanced at Eden. "I’m the patriarch of the Johnson family. Am I worthy enough to negotiate with you?"Eden looked up. "I suppose."Her tone made it seem like it was beneath her.Both Vivian and Helena felt a tightness in their chests. The Johnson family was already showing her respect by letting their pa

Ten minutes passed swiftly, but no one in the Johnson family made a move.Eden stood up, looking at them with indifference. She pulled out her phone and dialed a number. The person picked up almost immediately, but before the person on the other end could speak, Eden said, "For every Johnson family asset you destroy within ten minutes, I’ll halve the amount you owe for the treatment. I’ll also treat you personally."The voice on the other end, filled with excitement, responded quickly. "I’ll do as you say right away."After hanging up, he immediately gave orders to his men. "Quick, put all our resources to work on the Johnson family. Forget profit—destroy one of their assets now."His subordinate hesitated. "Sir, we don’t have much money left. The Wheelers’ funds are mostly controlled by...""Focus on the easiest Johnson business to ruin," Terry cut him off, nearly shouting. "I want results in the next ten minutes. Leave the rest to me."Terry had been desperate to treat August,

Geoffrey stood protectively in front of Eden and said, "Caelus has been with Alain for many years and is a reliable man. I’ll buy you some time. Tell him to get you out of here."Eden glanced at Geoffrey and Sinead shielding her, feeling a pang of sadness.They were someone else’s parents, yet they treated her like their own daughter. Even with their lives at risk, they weren’t thinking of saving themselves. They didn’t even try to help their own son escape first. Instead, they chose to protect her.Aside from Sofia and Jerred, she never expected to feel such warmth from anyone else in this life.But now, she could feel it wrapping around her.Just as she was about to speak, a voice called from behind, "Ed."It was Alain. He had just woken up, still weak.Eden helped him to his feet and checked his pulse. The drugs in his system were slowly being neutralized.“Dad, Mom, take Ed and go. Leave this to me,” Alain said, forcing himself up, his gaze icy as he looked at the Johnsons
