Alain narrowed his eyes, his hands in his pockets, his expression dark and his eyes cold. "Horace."His voice was so cold that it sent chills down one’s spine.Horace could feel the freezing atmosphere created by Alain’s words.He hummed in acknowledgment, waiting for Alain's orders."Send out a message through the Dark Web," Alain said, lighting his cigarette with a serious look on his face.Horace hadn't seen Alain act like this in a long time.He nodded. "Understood. I'll make sure that whoever wants to make a move against Eden will have to get through me first."They might be able to hide the fact that Alain had been saved from most people, but they couldn’t hide it from those in Rielton.Not to mention that they had already spread the news about his survival.By now, the people in Rielton would be investigating who had saved him.They probably couldn't hide it even if they wanted to. They needed to arrange for more people to protect Eden.Bang! Bang! Bang!As the two o

Chapter 72

Eden put another tablet in front of Horace and said with a smile, "This saves lives. 100,000. Want it?"Horace was drawn back by her voice. He tried to force a smile. "You're showing your favoritism a little too much, aren't you? It's free for Alain, but you want me to pay for it?""Expensive?" Eden smiled somewhat wickedly, narrowing her eyes and massaging her forehead.Others couldn't buy it even if they were willing to pay a billion.However, there was only one chance. If he didn't want it, then the deal was off.Horace, still feeling irritated, took out his mobile. "It's not. Give me your account number. I'll transfer the amount to you."Even if Eden wanted a million, Horace would pay. 100,000 was nothing.Eden would never produce something useless.Not to mention that this could save lives. He had to buy it.But…He was so annoyed!Why must he pay when Alain didn't have to pay a single cent?They weren't married yet, and they were already scheming behind his back.It

Alain vomited quite a lot of blood, but the color was lighter this time. There was a hint of red mixed into the blackness.The blood he had thrown up last time was pitch black.Alain finally stopped after a long while.Eden glanced at Caelus and said, "Pour the liquid I've been brewing in the kitchen into a bathtub. Make more until there's enough to fill the tub. Use medium heat and fill the tub once every fifteen minutes."Caelus, completely convinced of Eden's ability, followed her commands without hesitation.Horace looked at the weakened Alain and asked worriedly, "That's a lot of blood. Is he going to die from that?"Eden raised her eyes and placed her hand on Alain's wrist to check his pulse, then said, "He's vomiting the toxin inside him. It won't have much effect in the beginning, but as the toxin is removed from his body, his blood will become clearer. It's normal for him to experience symptoms such as weakness and dizziness. Some nutritious food will help.""That won't

Initially, Eden hadn't planned to prepare the infused bath for Alain to neutralize the toxin in him. It was something extra she was doing for him.Alain's internal organs had suffered varying degrees of injury due to being poisoned for half a year. Although she had managed to heal part of it and he was slowly recovering, his injuries had become permanent. Full recovery was no longer possible.All Alain could be now was the scion of the Ward family, living in wealth and nothing more.The infusion bath had the effect of significantly transforming one's body, forging and tempering Alain's flesh and bones to make them even stronger.As for removing the toxin, Eden had made that up on the spot. She didn't want Alain to feel indebted to her. She knew her boundaries very well.Alain was someone Jerred had entrusted his life to, so she had to help him. Not to mention, Alain had been helping her since her arrival in Estburg. She had to help him, even for that reason alone.Alain stood t

Alain was at a loss for words.His head was pounding.On Friday, when Eden arrived at school, the campus message board was ablaze with debate over who should be crowned campus belle.Most students were backing Eden. They argued she was the natural choice—beautiful, fearless in the face of authority, and unafraid to challenge even Simon.However, others supported Jasmine, citing her family background, conventional beauty, and poised demeanor. They argued that Eden, while beautiful, had poor academic performance and a penchant for conflict. They felt the title of campus belle didn't suit her.Joy, after reading the heated discussions on her phone, switched it off in frustration. Eden was the only one she believed deserved the title of campus belle.When Eden entered the classroom, she noticed Joy sitting there, visibly upset.Eden hung her sling bag on her chair and glanced over at Joy. "What's wrong?""It's nothing. Everyone's arguing about who should be campus belle. Most think

It was almost time for the first class of the day.A short-haired young woman approached Eden, whispering as she lowered her head, "Eden, I'm here to collect the physics homework."It was Natasha Smith, the student representative for their physics class.She had hesitated to approach Eden earlier, fearing her reputation."Alright," Eden replied casually, pulling out a stack of booklets. She quickly found the physics one and handed it over to Natasha.Natasha flipped open the booklet and raised her head in surprise. "You didn't complete a single question?"Eden yawned, reclining in her chair. "I didn't know how to."Natasha frowned. She had expected at least one answer.But not even one…She sighed. Class 3-18 would be the laughingstock again in front of the intensive classes.After a moment's hesitation, Natasha offered, "Well... If you need help with any, you can ask me or Joy. We can explain them to you."Natasha couldn't bear to see her classmates ridiculed by students fr

Eden pushed Ewan's face away, wanting to maintain some distance from him."Go away," she said curtly, not willing to waste her breath on him.Joy remained silent for a moment before pocketing her phone and looking at Eden. "Let's go eat."Raising an eyebrow, Eden asked, "Don't you want to go to the concert?"Joy smiled bitterly. "I do, but I can't.""Why?" Eden walked out of the classroom with Joy, her hands in her pockets.Ewan quickly followed suit when he saw them leaving."I can't afford it," Joy admitted with a self-defeating smile.She hailed from the countryside, where her parents worked tirelessly to pay for her education. She didn't want to burden them with expenses for a concert.Eden pursed her lips, glancing at her before deciding not to comment.At the cafeteria, Eden and the others were eating when Simon approached with his meal.He stood beside Eden respectfully and said, "May I sit with you, Ms. Griffith?"All eyes in the cafeteria turned toward them as Simo

Estburg Central Hospital.Catherine led the rest of the Hunt family to a VIP ward.Upon reaching the door, they were stopped by two men in black suits standing guard."Who are you?" one of the bodyguards asked coldly.Catherine frowned, her displeasure evident. "This is ridiculous. Since when do I need permission to visit a patient in the hospital?"The bodyguard gave her a dismissive look and replied, "No one enters the ward without Mr. Ward's authorization."Catherine's expression darkened.Alain…He had only been living at Skygarden for a few days, yet he was already enforcing his authority over everyone, even arranging security details for Sofia.It was infuriating."Can you please let us in? The patient inside is our relative, and we're here to see her. Alain is my grandson-in-law. I'll inform him about this," Catherine said calmly, though her frustration simmered underneath."No!" The bodyguard responded icily, his demeanor unwavering.Catherine narrowed her eyes and

Sofia did not care about Melinda, but she cared about Eden.She did not want Eden to do something illegal for this heartless mother of hers.After a moment of hesitation, Sofia got out of bed and opened the door.She looked at the people outside and said to the bodyguard, "I'm sorry, but let them in. I know them."The bodyguards exchanged glances and allowed Catherine and the others to enter.Once inside the ward, Sofia returned to her bed and gestured toward a nearby sofa, saying, "Please, have a seat."Catherine didn't sit. Instead, she walked over to Sofia's bedside and held her hand, asking with a concerned look, "I'm so sorry we haven't come to see you sooner. How are you feeling?"Sofia withdrew her hand and replied, "Don't worry. This is how my body is. I might pass away at any time.""Don't say that. You're still young. If there's anything you need, just tell me, and I'll do my best to provide it," Catherine said gently, her concern seeming genuine to those who didn't k

Sofia chuckled softly."Catherine... I may be old, but I have a good memory. Eden's the one who paid all my medical bills. It has nothing to do with the Hunts."Catherine was taken aback and turned to Melinda. "What's going on here?"Melinda trembled. "It's the card Alain gave Eden."She didn't believe Eden actually had four million dollars and assumed Alain provided the funds, which was why she hadn't mentioned it to the Hunts."Why didn't you tell me something so important?" Catherine demanded, glaring at Melinda.Melinda lowered her head in silence.Ignoring her, Catherine turned back to Sofia. "Now that everything's out in the open, there's no point in keeping up pretenses... We allowed Eden to marry Alain because we felt that Jasmine was too young. But now that Jasmine has made her decision, we no longer need Eden to marry Alain."She paused briefly before continuing, "You know Alain originally wanted to marry Jasmine. His current interest in Eden probably isn't out of lov
