All Chapters of My Wife, the Iron Lady: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

"Sure, Mr. Sillivan." No one had ever disagreed with him, and it seemed the students in the class held Grant in high regard.Grant gestured toward an empty seat and said to Eden, "You can sit next to Joy."Eden followed his gaze to a young girl with twin braids, whose appearance could be described as cute.Nodding, Eden walked over.Her seat was by the window, which she liked.She placed her books on the table and hung her uniform on the chair. She then sat back, pulled out her phone and started to fiddle with it, completely unconcerned.Seeing this, Grant wanted to say something, but Eden's icy demeanor stopped him.Despite her slender build and ordinary background, Eden seemed less intimidating than the affluent children. Yet, Grant felt interacting with her might prove more challenging.Eden was striking; she had drawn attention the moment she entered.Some boys were impressed by her nonchalant phone use in front of Grant. "She's so cool."However, not all girls were impre

Joy had grabbed lunch for both of them when someone suddenly tripped her on her way back. Her grip on the trays loosened, and lunch spilled across the floor as she fell.Eden, engrossed in her phone, snapped her gaze toward the noise, eyes narrowing.Ewan also heard the commotion and moved to react, but Morris intervened. "Ewan, that's Simon Navarro. It's best not to."While the Hortons wielded influence in Estburg, their clout in Rielton was negligible.Simon, second in line in the powerful Rielton family, treated Riverside Senior High as his personal domain.Ewan and Simon had clashed before, resulting in significant losses for the Horton family business within days and a sharp drop in their stocks, all orchestrated by Simon.The Hortons were powerless to retaliate.Ewan bit his lip, his fist slamming the table in frustration. "Damn it!"Joy struggled to rise when someone stepped on her hand, causing tears to well up from the pain. But she fought back the urge to cry; showing

When Grant had Eden sit next to her, Joy felt a rush of happiness. No one had voluntarily sat next to her ever since the bullying started. She didn't want to befriend Eden, knowing that associating with her would only bring Eden trouble.Joy merely wanted to help Eden get acquainted with the school. She planned to keep her distance after. She never expected that when Simon bullied her, Eden would step in and even break Simon's leg. Joy was deeply moved, but she also knew the danger of antagonizing someone like Simon."Pay for my medical bills?" Simon sneered, spitting in Joy's face. "You think you can afford that?"Eden's gaze narrowed as she slowly raised her eyes, a dangerous glint flickering in them. A palpable hostility surrounded her, signaling her lethal intent.Those who knew Eden would know that her instinct to take action had been triggered.Eden was about to take a step forward when Ewan grabbed her arm. "Don't. You may not be afraid because you have backing, but have yo

The dean sat in his office, rubbing his temples wearily as he listened to a student's report. "Where's Simon now?""In the hospital," the student replied. "The doctor mentioned his leg injury might be permanent."The dean sighed deeply. Things had spiraled out of control.Furrowing his brow, he asked, "And Carina?""Also in the hospital. Her right wrist is fractured," the student added with a trace of lingering unease.They were just teenagers after all. Even though schoolyard fights weren't uncommon, maiming another student was unheard of.That new transfer student was something else.She had essentially crippled two students on her first day.And one of them happened to be Simon from the Navarro family.He couldn't fathom the repercussions Eden would face after this."Alright," the dean said with a resigned tone. "You may go now."After the student left, the dean wasted no time calling the principal's office."Are you in, Samuel?" His voice betrayed his anxiety."I'm her

"Don't worry about the invitation. The Agency will handle it," Liam reassured."Alright, thanks," Eden replied, massaging her forehead. She wondered if her account had enough funds.A starting bid of 10 billion Kentran Dollars. She probably couldn't win the bid even with 100 billion Kentran Dollars.Not to mention the old money families were alerted. It wouldn't be easy to get her hands on it.Liam sighed, "You don't have to be so distant with me, K. You're part of the Agency, a member of our family. No matter what happens, the entire Agency will be there to support you."After a pause, Liam added, "You don't have to worry about the money either. We'll gather the necessary funds for you.""It's fine," Eden said with a frown. "Just give me all the jobs."Looks like she had to earn some more money.When Liam heard this, he laughed. "I never thought I'd hear you taking jobs just for money. Everyone knows you don't care about money. If Black Panther and the others found out, they'd
