Semua Bab My Wife, the Iron Lady: Bab 341 - Bab 350

Behind the Johnson household’s family residence.Stella pushed open the door to a courtyard. She glanced around, seeing no one, and then stepped into a room.“Grandfather.”She approached an old man and respectfully said, “Jack is dead.”“Dead?” Tempus turned to face her, his clouded eyes narrowing. A powerful aura surrounded him.Tempus was the true leader of the Johnson family, though he had passed leadership to Bane twenty years ago and chose to live in isolation in the courtyard behind the family home.He rarely ventured out, and few of the younger generation even knew of him.Besides Stella, nearly all his grandchildren had never seen him.“Yes,” Stella said respectfully. “The one who killed Jack is Alain’s fiancée, and she’s only nineteen years old.”She hesitated briefly before adding, “She also knows how to control life energy.”Tempus looked at her, surprised. “What level is she at?”Stella shook her head. “I couldn’t tell. She seems inexperienced, but her energy fl

The Ward family residence.Geoffrey was focusing on the Johnson family back at the company.Meanwhile, Sinead was dealing with the rest of the family at the residence."Sinead, my dad did hand over his authority to Geoffrey and name Alain the scion, but you can’t just ignore the rest of the family, can you? Don’t you realize the kind of disaster you’ll bring if you offend the Johnson family?""The Ward family isn’t as strong as it used to be. We lost a lot of money thanks to that hacker, and the business has been affected—our profit margin is way down this year. If Geoffrey is going to spend everything fighting the Johnsons, what about the rest of us?""I don’t care if you want to go head-to-head with the Johnsons, but you can’t use what belongs to us to do it. Even if you don’t care about the rest of the family, we can’t just stand by and watch the Ward family disappear from Rielton overnight. You owe us an explanation."Sinead remained calm, sipping her drink before raising her

Alain arrived just after the rest of the Ward family had left."Why are you here? Is Eden awake?" Sinead asked. She wanted to stay in Pear Garden to take care of Alain and Eden, but with the Ward family pressuring her for answers, she returned to the family residence to handle them first.They had just left when Alain arrived, and she thought Eden might have already woken up."She's still unconscious," Alain replied, unbuttoning the top button of his blazer as he sat down. "I’m here to see grandpa, and then I’ll head to the company."Sinead nodded. "He just woke up. Your uncles were here, arguing with me. He thinks it’s too noisy and doesn’t want anyone disturbing him, so don’t go in for now.""Got it," Alain said, lighting a cigarette. "Can you go stay with Ed in Pear Garden?""Alright."Sinead didn’t say much, grabbed her purse, and left.She had just reached the entrance when Horace rushed in. Without even greeting her, he hurried to Alain."Alain, he’s shown up again."Ho

Eden massaged her head, glancing at all the nurses surrounding her.They watched her anxiously, afraid they might upset her.“All of you can leave. I don’t need everyone here,” she said, irritated by the crowd.As soon as the nurses heard her, they began to cry. “Did we do something wrong? Tell us and we’ll fix it. Please don’t fire us!”"That's right. Mr. Ward warned us that if we make you unhappy, he’ll kill us.”“We don’t want to die; please let us stay.”Eden froze, then muttered under her breath, “Darn it.”Was Alain out of his mind?Since when did he become so ruthless?Eden lowered her gaze, feeling the tension rise in the room. She glanced at the nurses, who were now kneeling in front of her, sobbing.Frustrated by the crowd, she said, “Just go. Alain won’t kill you.”Turning to Sulien, she instructed, “Pay them five times their salary and send them away.”Sulien, once obedient only to Alain, now followed Eden’s lead. Without hesitation, he paid the nurses as she as

Even though Hades was known as the king of all Banevermins, it wasn’t always active. Once the person implanted with Hades had consumed enough blood, Hades would fall into a deep slumber.He had just committed several murders, which meant that Hades had been fully fed and wouldn’t be triggered again anytime soon.Eden figured the reason for his sudden activity was that he was searching for a safer place to hide.“The Johnsons?” Liam repeated thoughtfully. “Since Alain is investigating them, and so are you, did they really do something they’re trying to keep hidden from outsiders?”Eden considered this and then decided to share the truth with Liam. “Have you ever heard of the Shamblers?”“Shamblers? One of the kids at the Agency was reading a horror novel a few days ago, and I overheard them mention it…” Liam said, pausing as he stood up suddenly. “Wait, are you saying the things in those novels are real?”Eden thought about it and nodded slightly. “Not entirely, but it’s not too f
