Semua Bab My Wife, the Iron Lady: Bab 211 - Bab 220

However, he was already familiar with these two.Earlier, when K had asked him to investigate Alain and Jerred, he dug deeper and discovered the connections between Alain and the people around him. These two were Alain’s associates.And one of them was the scion of Rielton’s Brook family.Interesting.He wondered what King Cobra had done to attract so much attention that they would go so far as to search for him within the Agency.Horace smiled, his silver earring catching the light from the lamp. The reflection was somewhat distracting.He pulled out an ID and showed it to Liam. "This is my ID."Liam examined the ID, his eyes narrowing slightly. After a moment, he handed it back to Horace. "The Agency is registered with the government. They have no reason, nor the ability, to start anything with us.""It’s just a misunderstanding, Mr. Liam. We’re simply doing a routine check-up," Horace replied with a smile. "We just want to look around so that we can submit a report later."

"Of course!" Quin said, raising her head. "If you have the ability, go in on your own merits. Don’t rely on Alain to take you in."Eden nodded with a roguish smile. "That’s fine by me."She then set down her sling bag and rummaged through it until she found an invitation. Handing it to the security guard, she pointed toward Alain, Caelus, and Horace. "They’re with me."The security guard looked at the invitation in surprise. "A golden invitation? You are...?""It’s an invitation personally sent by the patriarch. Do you need to confirm it?" Eden asked."No. Please come in. I’ll guide your friends to you once they’re ready," the security guard replied respectfully.Eden nodded, then turned to Quin. "Is it alright if I rather they don’t participate in the auction this time?""I..." The security guard hesitated, his expression conflicted."It’s okay. I won’t make things difficult for you. I’ll inform the Parkers’ patriarch..." Eden began.Before she could finish, the security guar

If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have spoken on behalf of the Parker family. Skylar would have made enemies with the Johnsons, and their lives would be difficult from that point on.But Eden spoke for him. Skylar didn't know how much weight her words carried, but at the very least, he didn't regret the decision he made that day.Vivian narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly. "Who do you think you are? Why should we waste our time on you?""Do I really need to introduce myself?" Eden's lips curled into a cold smile.Vivian looked down, adjusted her hair slightly, and then raised her head, her eyes icy. "Do you really think I won't touch you just because Alain's got your back? Eden, this is Rielton, not the countryside. You could lose your life at any moment."Eden smiled arrogantly, her hands in her pockets.She was about to say something else when a chilling voice interrupted from behind her. "Try touching her if you dare."Alain stepped in front of Eden, wrapping an arm a

Eden glanced at the women before turning her attention away.There was still some time before the auction began. With nothing else to do, Eden took out her phone and started killing time by playing a game.Alain sipped his coffee calmly.Caelus and Horace had gone to the hall. Eden didn’t know why and didn’t ask.When she finished her game, Caelus and Horace returned.Caelus immediately walked over to Alain and whispered, "Mr. Wheeler is right next door."Alain’s fingers froze slightly, a glint appearing in his eyes. There was something different in his usual cold expression.Eden noticed his strange expression and frowned. "What is it?"Just then, there was a knock at the door.Caelus looked at Alain, who nodded, signaling him to open the door.As the door opened, Eden turned to look. A very handsome and graceful man entered. His eyes, in particular, seemed to hide something.Eden observed him briefly before looking away.He was attractive, but the violent aura around him

The host recited his opening script before finally addressing the main topic of the day. "We have six items up for auction. Five are antiques sponsored by other families, and the last is the Bloodgod Herb provided by the Parker family. I believe many of you are here for the Bloodgod Herb. Everyone knows how rare it is. Although this is an auction, the patriarch of the Parker family hopes it will go to the one who truly deserves it."The host took a deep breath before continuing, "That's why we’re increasing the number of auction items to ten. The additional four items are also rare and valuable herbal medicines, similar in appearance to the Bloodgod Herb. There will be no centerpiece in this auction, and the herbs will be auctioned off randomly. It will be up to your skills to secure the Bloodgod Herb."As soon as the host finished speaking, the entire place erupted in an uproar."What? Who has even seen a real Bloodgod Herb? How can anyone be sure they’re bidding on the right one?"
