Chapter 281

In the afternoon, Quin returned to Skygarden.She immediately ran into Noah as soon as she stepped through the door.Noah gave Quin a once-over, hands on his hips, and asked, "Who are you?"Quin frowned. "Who are you? And why are you in Alain's home?""First-name basis?"Hearing that, Noah was instantly infuriated. "Alain! Get down here right this instant, you brat!"Alain, who was upstairs on a call, quickly ran down when he heard Noah's voice.Eden came down as well when she heard the commotion."Sir..."Before Alain could say anything, Noah pointed at him angrily. "Is this it, boy? You're bullying my student right in front of me? Do you really think I can't do anything to you just because I'm old?""Is there a misunderstanding?" Alain asked calmly.He would never dare bully Eden. If anything, he was more concerned about her bullying him."Misunderstanding?" Noah retorted, eyes wide as he pointed at Quin. "Then who is she? Why did you let a young woman move into your home

Eden couldn’t be bothered to expose Noah's lies, so they both headed to the kitchen.Once there, she resumed her experiment, using the Bloodgod Herb as a reagent to create a cure for Heartgorger, though it was far from perfected.Both Jerred and Sofia had been infected with Heartgorger, but Jerred’s condition was far more severe. The rapid onset was due to the strength of the infection, and the only reason he had survived this long was thanks to specialized drugs Sulien had taken from the research institute and the needling done by Eden.Though Jerred wasn’t in immediate danger, curing him was no simple task.Eden had already formulated three potential cures, but they were all ineffective. She didn’t have much Bloodgod Herb left, and experimenting with Jerred’s life was not an option.Noah examined the cure Eden had created, sniffing it and observing it for a long time before frowning. "Yes, something's wrong. But I can't pinpoint what exactly."He put down the cure, deep in thou

The next day.Alain got up early to make breakfast just as the sun began to rise.It was clear Noah was testing him. Otherwise, Alain would be enjoying a meal prepared by his personal chef instead of having to cook himself.He could only marry Eden if Noah's appetite was satisfied.For the past two days, Eden had been completely focused on creating the cure for Heartgorger. Her insomnia had also eased. Alain only went to bed after she did last night, and she slept well.When Eden got up, she headed straight to the kitchen, already knowing Alain would be up early to cook.The meals he prepared were usually on the lighter side, just right for Noah.As usual, Noah woke up early, drawn by the aroma of breakfast.Quin had also woken up and heard activity in the kitchen. When she reached the door, she froze.Alain was cooking personally?For that poor girl from the countryside?No!Quin couldn't accept that the god-like figure in her heart was cooking for another woman while wear

Chapter 284

The last time Eden and Alain were at the Parkers', Eden realized that Noah might not be an ordinary person. At the very least, during the era when the Parkers were in power, Noah was someone they had to show respect to.The Johnson family only rose to prominence after the Parkers' fell. While the Parkers were no longer as glorious as they once were, their reputation still surpassed that of the Johnsons. It was no surprise that Noah had no regard for them."How... how can you talk about my grandfather like that? You're..." Quin pointed her finger at Noah, tears welling up in her eyes as she gritted her teeth. "So rude!""Haha!" Noah burst out laughing. "I've lived a long time, and this is the first time someone’s called me rude. Girl, go ask your grandfather if he dares to say that to my face.""You..." Quin was so furious that her face turned red, but she couldn’t find the words to respond.She wasn’t foolish—she knew that Noah and her grandfather were acquainted.If Noah was ind

What Talia did shocked the entire class.Everyone watched as Talia calmly walked back to her seat and sat down as if nothing had happened.Confusion was written on all their faces.Was this really the same Talia who never fought back, no matter how much she was hit or yelled at?Why did she suddenly become someone else?Daliah climbed to her feet, face red with anger, and pointed at Talia, ready to curse her out. But the moment her eyes met Talia's fierce gaze, she instantly backed down.She didn’t dare say another word and quietly returned to her seat.Jessica observed for a moment before walking over to Talia and asking, "What happened to you?"Talia's demeanor softened when she spoke to Jessica. She turned to her with a smile and said, "Maybe I’ve always been like this, and you just never noticed."With that, she looked back down at her book and continued reading.Jessica eyed her suspiciously for a few moments but said nothing more.Eden and Quin went to Class 3-18 and s

Normally, the students would always gather around Eden, but now they were turning to Quin instead.Quin glanced in Eden's direction, raising her chin in triumph.So what if Eden was Alain's fiancée?Quin was still the center of everyone's attention. As long as she was around, all eyes were on her.While Quin was basking in her triumph, Eden didn’t even spare her a glance.After class, Eden rested her head on her desk.But she had just settled in when she felt Joy nudge her elbow. "Eden, are you asleep? I have something for you."Eden usually couldn’t sleep deeply in the morning, and with how noisy the classroom was, she wasn’t really asleep at all. She sat up as soon as Joy nudged her.She tilted her head slightly, looking somewhat annoyed but doing her best to suppress it. "What is it?"Joy handed Eden a small box and said, "I noticed the dark circles under your eyes, and you seem to be in a bad mood. Maybe you haven't been sleeping well lately? I heard this herb is good for

Noon, after school.Alain's car was already waiting at the gate of Riverside High.When Eden reached the first floor, she passed by Class 3-1 and ran into Talia.Eden rarely spoke to Talia at school. She glanced at her and was about to walk past her.But just as she took her first step, Talia called out, "Eden!"Eden stopped and turned to look at her.Talia bit her lip and whispered, "Can I stay at your place for a while? I don’t want to stay at Mr. Peter's house anymore.""What happened?" Eden asked with a frown, her expression darkening.Peter had promised her he would take good care of the White siblings."It's nothing," Talia quickly explained, worried Eden might misunderstand. "It's just that Jessica keeps asking my brother to tutor her, so it's getting noisy. With the National Assessment coming up, I want to find a quieter place to study."Eden glanced at her. Talia’s expression was sincere, so she didn’t think much of it and nodded. "Sure, let's go."When they reached

Eden went back upstairs, and Alain switched off the lights in the living room. When he reached the staircase, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes staring at him. He quickly turned around, but there was nothing behind him.He shivered slightly, his cold expression momentarily shifting.In the days that followed, the number of people at Skygarden increased, leaving Alain and Eden with even less time to be alone together.Eden usually continued working on the cure after her classes, so she didn’t have much time to chat with Alain.Horace and Caelus also rarely came to Skygarden, opting to report to Alain directly by phone. They were mainly avoiding Noah, who had a bad temper and made them a bit uneasy.On Saturday, Eden was planning to visit Joy’s home.Alain was going with her, of course. It was a rare opportunity for him to spend some time alone with Eden.It was also a rare chance for Horace and Caelus to see Alain in person, so they decided to join, hoping to discuss something face

After dinner, Eden asked if she could see Ashford’s farms, and Ashford agreed without hesitation.Alain and Horace had assumed Eden came to Joy’s home just for fun. They had no idea the Coleman family was growing a lot of expensive herbs.They were all surprised when they saw the fields full of herbs.Alain turned to Eden, then pointed at one of the plants and asked, "Isn’t this the Bloodgod Herb?"Eden nodded.Alain was speechless.Horace was at a loss for words as well.The Bloodgod Herb, which all the families in Rielton were fighting over, covered half the Coleman family’s farmland.Alain looked at Ashford, questions in his eyes."I planted these myself and usually sell them to shops in the cities. If you like some, I can give them to you for free," Ashford said with a smile.Eden glanced at everyone, then looked at Ashford and asked, "You didn’t sell the Bloodgod Herbs and Celestial Herbs to the shops, did you?"All the herbs he planted were quite expensive. They were s

Ashford realized what he was doing and smiled awkwardly. "I’m so sorry for getting overly excited. Ms. Griffith, you didn’t just come to our home for fun this time, did you? You must have identified the Bloodgod Herb that Joy gave you and came to find me, right?""That’s right," Eden answered sincerely. "I can sign a contract with you so that you can provide the materials to me long-term. I’ll pay you the market price."Eden knew how to cultivate herbs but wasn’t an expert, especially with something as rare as the Celestial Herb.After what happened to her grandmother, she knew there was still much to learn. If she had someone to supply the materials, she could focus on making the medicine and eventually handle all kinds of diseases."No." Ashford shook his head."You can tell me your conditions," Eden said."It’s not that I don’t want to sign a contract with you. Raphael’s Seminary already signed a contract with the Bishops in the past. Since you’re Mr. Noah’s student, we will n
