Eden turned to Alain with a smile. "I prefer using my own money."Alain looked at her with a pained expression. "I’m your fiancé.""Just my fiancé, yes," Eden said with a faint smile.Alain was left speechless.He didn’t want to deal with the cold woman anymore.Four hours later, the car pulled up in front of the Ward family's secondary estate in Rielton. The estate featured several smaller, elegant manors reminiscent of old-world luxury.Alain helped Eden out of the car. Horace stayed behind, needing to track down King Cobra.Stopping in front of a manor’s door, Alain turned to Eden. "No matter what happens later, don’t use your medical skills."Eden raised an eyebrow and gave Alain a knowing look. "Is your home full of danger?"Alain rubbed his temples. "Something like that. Just keep your medical skills hidden. Sulien will be here soon. If anything happens, let him handle it."After a pause, Alain added seriously, "And if something happens to me, don’t intervene either."

The old man was Alain's grandfather, Julius Ward. At seventy, his face was lined with wrinkles, and his hair had turned completely white.He approached Alain, took his hand, and with tears of joy in his eyes, said, "Good... Good! You've finally recovered from your illness. It’s so wonderful to see you again, my grandson.""Grandpa," Alain responded gently.Eden noticed that Alain spoke to Julius with a tone of respect and courtesy, showing a softer side of him. Apart from his parents, Julius was the only one in the Ward family Alain treated with such warmth."Didn’t you bring your fiancée home? Where is she? Let me have a look at her," Julius said, looking around until his gaze landed on Eden.Alain gestured for Eden to come over, and she approached, greeting him politely. "Mr. Julius.""My, you’re so lovely. I knew my Alain would find someone as beautiful as you," Julius said, clearly pleased with Eden.The other members of the Ward family exchanged glances, and Helena laughed

Eden frowned, slipping her mobile back into her pocket. She turned to Alain and said, "It's too noisy here. How about we go outside for a walk?"Her words were loud and clear, catching everyone's attention. The people in the living room stopped talking and stared at her with curious looks.Eden ignored their stares and focused solely on Alain.Alain's cold expression softened, and his lips curved into a warm smile. "Sure, I’ll take you around the estate."Eden nodded, and they both stood up.Before they left, Eden glanced at Julius and said, "If you want some peace, you might want to avoid these people. They're quite loud."Julius's dark expression lifted, and he burst into hearty laughter. "Haha! Alright. I’ll follow your advice and stay away from them. Since you’ve just arrived, let Alain show you around. We’ll call you when it’s time to eat."Alain nearly laughed at her remark.He had expected nothing less from Boss Griffith. Even without physical confrontation, her words al

Helena steeled herself and said with a forced smile, "What are you talking about? We’re not targeting you; we’re doing this for your own good. Your grandpa is unconscious, and we're just worried.""Really?" Alain said, his voice dark as he slipped his hands into his pockets. "Where's the doctor you called?""Well..." Helena’s eyes flickered. "We were so worried, we forgot."Alain gave her a pointed look and said, "It’s fine if you forgot to call the doctor, but remember to take all your things when you leave."He turned to Caelus and said coldly, "Show them out.""What do you mean?" Helena’s expression shifted instantly. "Your grandpa is unconscious. How can we leave now? We need to know what’s wrong with him."At that moment, the maid guided Sulien into the living room.Sulien greeted Alain and immediately went to Julius’ side to check his pulse.Caelus had just started ushering the Ward family out when Helena hurried over to Sulien and asked, "How’s my dad?"Sulien checked J

"But you're very polite when you spent half an hour arguing with me instead of focusing on saving grandpa when he fainted?" Alain said, resting his hand on the sofa's armrest.His other hand held Eden’s as he glanced at her mobile screen, pointing at it. A block fell, clearing a row.Helena’s chest heaved with frustration as she glared at Eden before looking away. She faced Alain, trying to control her anger. "I was just too worried about your grandpa.""If I hadn't called Sulien in time, Grandpa might have already died while we were arguing," Alain said sharply, his eyes cold. "If that had happened, you wouldn't even have the chance to stand here discussing my fiancée's manners."Helena’s heart skipped a beat. "I..."Alain noticed the panic in her eyes and gave her a stern look before turning away.The rest of the Ward family chose to remain silent, realizing that Alain’s anger could be severe. They knew that facing his wrath was worse than losing their inheritance.Those who h
