Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Wife, the Iron Lady: Kabanata 161 - Kabanata 170

Class 3-1 had scored 9.5 out of 10, the highest score so far.After Class 3-1 left the stage, it was Class 3-18's turn to perform.Eden moved to the audience seating.Joy, who was right behind Ewan, had trouble seeing in the dim backstage area. As she was about to get on stage, she accidentally stepped on something, lost her balance, and tumbled down the stairs.Ewan was shocked and quickly helped Joy up. "What happened?"Joy bit her lip, her foot throbbing with pain and tears welling in her eyes. "I can't move.""What are we going to do? We can't perform without you!" Ewan said anxiously.The Class 3-1 students, seeing what happened, walked away without a second glance, showing no concern for Joy’s injury.Joy lowered her head and suddenly remembered something. She shouted, "Jasmine!"Jasmine, who was leading the group, stopped in her tracks and looked at her in confusion. "What is it?""Why did you trip me?" Joy demanded angrily.Jasmine looked stunned before responding de

After a while, Ewan looked at Eden with excitement. "Chief, is there anything you can't do?"Eden gave him a brief glance. "Oh, plenty."Ewan nodded eagerly. "If you can dance so well, why didn’t you join us? We could have had you perform solo. It would have been an easy win!""Not interested!"Eden had a lot on her plate these past few years. She had been trying to find a cure for her grandma's toxin, which took up a lot of her time with traditional medicine research. Plus, managing criminal operations from Audair City to Rielton was challenging and could take a whole month when things got busy. On top of that, she was dealing with the Jerred investigation and school, all while juggling immense pressure. She wasn’t in the mood for a cultural festival."Fine," Ewan said, understanding her attitude. "Anyway, Class 3-18's victory is all thanks to you."Eden glanced at the time. "I have other plans, so I’m heading out now."Alain wasn’t picking Eden up today. The Wards were hosting

Sinead had an eye for detail. She had picked out a pure white dress with embroidered details at the waist. It was a fitted dress that accentuated Eden's slender figure.Eden's waist was already quite slim, and the dress highlighted her curves beautifully. With her fair skin and flowing hair, she looked so stunning that anyone who saw her might want to hide her away to keep her all to themselves.It was also the first time Eden had seen herself in such a dress. As she looked at her reflection in the mirror, she was taken aback. Maybe she could get used to wearing something like this. However, the neckline was a bit low, so she worried she might reveal too much if she wasn’t careful.She turned to Sinead and asked, "Isn't my neckline a bit too low?""No, it's just right. You haven't seen some of the even lower necklines. An evening dress needs a certain look, and too high a neckline wouldn't work," Sinead said with a smile.The more she looked at Eden, the more she admired her.Her

Eden started earning money after that and also began making money from missions once she joined the Agency. That was why she stopped working on the skincare cream.However, she still made a few bottles for some loyal customers who had a good relationship with Ryan. She only had two bottles left: one for Sinead and one reserved for a client who had booked it through Ryan.Sinead was speechless.So why had Eden said it was just ten dollars?Realizing something, she asked, "Did you tell me it was ten dollars to avoid making me feel pressured?"Eden smiled but said nothing.Meanwhile, Alain’s messages kept coming through.Eden glanced at them and quickly typed a reply.

As for Tyler and Talia, Eden didn’t invite them to the party. It wouldn’t have been appropriate for them to attend, and with so many people around, they would have attracted too much attention.Ewan, regaining his composure after the initial shock, nodded and said, "Don’t worry, chief. We’ll take care of ourselves."Eden said nothing more and proceeded to the center of the banquet hall with Alain and Sinead.The guests at the banquet were all prominent figures. Samuel Graham, the patriarch of the four leading families in Rielton, had received an invitation from the Ward family and had been at the party for some time. Though he generally avoided such events, he couldn’t refuse the Ward family’s invitation, especially with Eden present. He was here to support her.Peter Morris, who controlled Estburg, was also in attendance, accompanied by Jessica Sinclair. Despite spotting Eden from a distance, neither Samuel nor Peter approached her, respecting that the party was for Eden and not w
