My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 97
"Come on in," Sinead beckoned Eden into the mansion as if they were genuine mother and daughter, completely forgetting her real son was right behind Eden.Alain was left speechless.In the living room, another man awaited. Eden greeted him politely, "Hello, Mr. Ward."The man was Geoffrey Ward, Alain's father, whom Eden had read about in her previous research.Geoffrey nodded warmly and smiled. "Have a seat. Make yourself at home."Eden nodded and settled onto the sofa.Sinead returned to the kitchen to finish preparing dinner while Geoffrey set aside his newspaper, eyeing Alain with surprise. Despite Sinead's updates about Eden caring for their son, seeing it firsthand reassured him.Geoffrey turned his attention back to Eden, asking conversationally, "I hear you're studying at Riverside Senior High now. How are you finding it? Stressful?""It's manageable," Eden replied calmly, maintaining her courtesy.Geoffrey nodded approvingly and poured a glass of water for Eden. "I've

Alain and Eden spent about an hour at the Ward Estate before returning to Skygarden.As they entered, Jasmine rushed over, gripping Eden's hands with concern. "I heard you only scored twenty in your tests. Is that true?"Eden arched an eyebrow mischievously at Jasmine. "Yeap."Alain turned to her, surprised.He knew Eden had started at Riverside Senior High with zero in all subjects, but he wasn’t aware she was doing that poorly.Given her medical skills, if she could grasp medical journals, she must have some knowledge stored away.But twenty marks in total? Alain rubbed his forehead, feeling worried.With such grades, graduating would be challenging for her."What are we going to do? The National Assessment is coming up in about a semester and a half. How do you plan to get into university with these grades?" Jasmine glanced at Alain from the corner of her eye, secretly amused by how serious he looked.Eden strolled to the sofa and lounged lazily. "I probably won't get in."

"Hello, you must be the father of the girl sitting next to Eden?" Sinead said gracefully, her manner and speech poised.Her gaze remained focused as she addressed the man before her.He turned to her and offered a sincere smile. "Hello. You must be Eden's mother? Joy mentioned that Eden takes good care of her. Please allow me to thank her on Joy's behalf."Sinead returned the smile warmly. "Eden is a kind girl, so there's no need for thanks."Glancing briefly at the test papers on Eden's desk after their brief conversation, Sinead was taken aback.Apart from one correct answer in math, every other test paper was filled with zeros.None of the answers were correct, resulting in a total score of twenty?Sinead rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.With a bit of time left before the parent-teacher conference began, Sinead noticed Eden's desk was somewhat disorganized and decided to tidy up.As she began to sort through her things, a pile of items spilled out, causing

Sinead had just finished organizing Eden's desk when a woman approached."Excuse me, are you in the wrong seat? This is my daughter's seat," Melinda said graciously, smiling brightly at Sinead.Unaware of Sinead's identity as Mrs. Ward, Melinda was puzzled when Sinead lifted her gaze and leaned back in the chair, speaking calmly, "I'm in the right seat."Despite meeting Melinda for the first time, Sinead knew about her from her investigation into the Hunt family.Sinead held no fondness for Melinda—an individual who could abandon a newborn and exploit her at every opportunity. Such people were among those Sinead detested most.Melinda was taken aback. "This is Eden Griffith's seat, and she's my daughter. May I ask who you are?"Melinda was aware of the affluent families attending Riverside Senior High and refrained from causing a scene.Maintaining her elegant demeanor in public was crucial for her image."I'm Eden's mother-in-law, Sinead," Sinead replied icily, her gaze pierci

That was why many students were waiting outside Class 3-18.Eden glanced at Ewan and replied, "She's not.""Huh?" Ewan was taken aback. "She's not your mom? Then who is she?""She's my future mother-in-law," Eden said confidently.Alain smiled instantly. If Eden was willing to acknowledge Sinead as her mother-in-law, did that mean she was accepting him as well? He knew his mother was quite reliable.Ewan stared in shock for a while before finally giving Eden a big thumbs-up. "You're the GOAT!"She might be the first person in history to invite her future mother-in-law to a parent-teacher conference.As expected of his chief.Her actions were…So cool!The conference began promptly at half-past seven.Grant provided a brief explanation of the test results and offered comments on the students' performances, then encouraged the parents. After discussing the upcoming National Assessment briefly, the conference concluded.Unlike other teachers, Grant preferred not to waste time

After the conference, Sinead returned to the Ward Estate.Before leaving, she pulled Alain aside and spoke to him. "Mr. Sullivan mentioned that with support from the parents and teachers, Eden can achieve good results. I've arranged for mock exam papers for the National Assessment to be delivered to Skygarden. I'm leaving this task to you."With that, Sinead patted Alain's shoulder. "I'm creating opportunities for you. Work hard and don't let my daughter-in-law slip away."Alain rubbed his head, momentarily speechless.But he didn't voice any objections.Overseeing Eden's studies? Not a bad idea.He wondered, though, if Eden would be cooperative.Once Sinead had left, Alain and Eden were ready to head home.Horace and Caelus were also there, but they stayed outside the building, reminiscing about their high school days.Alain called Horace.Soon, they were all gathered and headed back together.During the ride, Alain glanced at Eden, resting his arm on the car window, a smil

Caelus complied with Eden's command and stopped the car.Eden walked over to the driver's seat and opened the door. "Move to the back!"Caelus glanced at Alain for confirmation. When Alain remained silent, Caelus moved to the back seat.Eden started the car.The vehicle felt like it had rockets under the hood as it accelerated forward.Everyone inside the car was caught off guard, gripping the handholds tightly.Horace pressed himself against the car window, his face turning pale. "Eden, slow down... slower! You're going to get us killed!"Ignoring Horace's plea, Eden continued driving with determination.Alain quickly regained his composure. Through the window, he observed Eden's calm expression.He didn't know who Talia was.All he knew was that apart from her grandmother and Jerred, he had never seen Eden lose control for someone before.The car sped all the way to the Stanford River. Before Eden could bring her car to a stop, she saw someone jump from the riverbank.The

After a few minutes, Alain managed to pull Eden back up onto shore.Eden appeared unharmed but was focused on finding Joy and Talia. She encountered Alain shortly afterward, allowing him to assist her as she struggled with her weakening strength.Once they reached the shore, Joy and Talia had also been rescued.Aside from being waterlogged, they seemed mostly fine.Eden approached Talia with a stern expression and uttered a single word, "Explain."Her lips were pale, and water droplets were still clinging to her hair.Talia sensed her mistake and kept her head lowered in silence.Eden continued to glare at her, unmoved.After a tense silence, Talia finally raised her head, speaking softly. "I'm so sorry, Eden. I...""Just couldn't bear to live anymore?"Eden seized Talia by the collar, lifting her off the ground with a cold stare. "What happened that made you want to end your life?"When Talia was still in Sirona, she used to write letters to Eden, portraying a content life.

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
My Wife, the Iron Lady Chapter 349
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
