Iris Glover and Stanley Stein shared seven years together—three of dating and four of marriage. Their relationship unraveled when Stanley chose to believe the homewrecker and prosecuted Iris in court himself. The question, "Do you plead guilty?" shattered Iris' heart. She fought fiercely in court, proved her innocence, and exposed the homewrecker's true nature. Upon her acquittal, she told Stanley, "Let's get a divorce." He replied, "Don't you regret it, Iris," believing she was merely throwing a tantrum. When they crossed paths again, Stanley asked, "Have you come to reconcile?" Iris retorted, "Being so delusional is an illness; seek help." Every time she got mad, she always went back to him once she calmed down, but not this time. It wasn't until Iris emerged as a successful lawyer standing opposite him in court that Stanley realized she had changed; she no longer belonged to him. In a moment of desperation, he pleaded, "Iris, I still love you. Please come back to me." Iris, now strong and resolute, replied, "The reason I improved myself is thanks to you, not for you. Mr. Stein, please step aside; don't stand in my way."

Ted's silence all but confirmed it. Stanley felt his mood lift. He smirked. "Let me buy you a drink.""Not interested," Ted rejected the invitation.Stanley continued, "If you want to pursue her, go ahead. We're divorced, so you have every right to try. I don't know if you'll succeed though." His last words dripped with confidence, as he believed Iris had rejected Ted because she still loved him.All his frustration had faded away. "I may have gone too far that day," he admitted, his tone softening. Ted was not an unreasonable person. They had been close friends for years."You're the one who said I could pursue her. Don't you regret it," Ted said.It was indeed inappropriate for him to be in love with someone else's wife before this. He could overlook what happened that day, but he wanted to gauge Stanley's current stance."Go ahead," Stanley reiterated.Satisfied, Ted responded, "We'll put what happened that day behind us. Let's go." He opened the car door and climbed in.T

Iris was speechless. Why did she feel like she was being used like a pawn?Ted seemed to understand what she was thinking. "I'm the one who's being used," Ted said."Ted..." Iris said, feeling embarrassed."But it's okay, I do it willingly," Ted declared, making his thoughts clear.Sighing, Iris said, "You will always be my good friend." It was a polite way of expressing her rejection.The words dimmed Ted's expressions.From the other side of the road, Stanley watched as Iris climbed into Ted's car. Yvonne gave Stanley a middle finger. Stanley frowned but chose to ignore her.Instead, he opened the car door for Fiora, who climbed in without hesitation. He only entered his own vehicle once Ted's car had driven away.Stanley's expression was cold and heavy. He gripped the steering wheel tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging as he tried to suppress his frustration.Fiora noticed his abnormality. "Um, are you really okay?""I'm fine," he replied, adjusting his ex

Ted knew that, even though Yvonne was helping him, her real intention was to anger Stanley.However, Ted was more focused on Iris' feelings than Yvonne's motives. With hopeful eyes, he turned to Iris."Iris, please give me a chance," he implored. "I'll never hurt you like Stanley did. I would give my life for you."In the past, such heartfelt words would have moved Iris to tears. But after the heartbreak she experienced, she would not trust a man that easily anymore. Even if it meant hurting Ted, she had to be honest. "Ted, I've just divorced, and you know the reason for the divorce. I can't do it. I'm sorry."Ted's lips tightened, and his brow furrowed. "Perhaps I was too hasty. I've been waiting for this chance for so long that I failed to consider your feelings. I'll give you some time, so please don't reject me just yet."Yvonne nudged Iris playfully. "If he can transition to another relationship right away, why should you hesitate?"Iris shot back coldly, "He's a dog. Am I a

Iris was speechless. She stepped back and nodded towards Jason. Once the elevator doors closed, she adjusted her coat. The underground parking lot was chilly, perhaps because it was such a huge space.Tucking her head down, she walked towards the exit.It was even colder upstairs.She returned to the law firm. She heard the law firm had a whole floor filled with rare books, some of which could not be found anywhere else. She planned to do some reading. Time flew by quickly during her study session, and before she knew it, it was already dark outside. The lights in the room flickered on automatically.Her phone buzzed in her pocket. Pulling it out, she saw it was Yvonne calling, so she answered it immediately."Come out, I'll buy you dinner," Yvonne said."Wow, someone's feeling generous today," Iris teased."Of course! Isn't that what bosses do?"Iris laughed, enjoying the banter."What's the location?""Number thirty-two, Beige Road.""Alright," Iris replied, glancing

It was so brief that Iris wondered if she was seeing things."Come with me," Jason said."Where are we going?" she asked."Just do as your boss says and stop asking so many questions," he replied, moving forward. Iris jogged to keep pace with him."Mr. Just, I have a request," she said."Go ahead," he said, still walking briskly."Can you slow down a little?" she asked.Jason stopped and turned to look at her. His gaze slowly dropped down to her legs. "Oh, I see. It's because you have short legs," he remarked seriously.Iris was speechless. She was considered tall among women, with a figure comparable to a model's. How were her legs short?Jason resumed walking, but at a slower pace, allowing her to keep up without jogging. The person Jason took Iris to meet was a very important figure. Iris had no idea who the person was, but she came to that conclusion based on the meeting place and the content of their conversation.They were discussing a rather complex international cas

He turned around and walked back into the building.Renee smiled. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Fiora Just was still unmarried. Perhaps she was still waiting for Stanley.Cassie did not dare to say a word. She followed Iris silently.Iris just kept walking without a clear direction."Iris," Cassie cautiously tugged at her daughter's sleeve."What?!" Iris snapped, startling her mother.Today, Cassie had realized the truth: her daughter had not had an easy life in the Stein family. She didn't know Iris had had to endure so much hardship. Iris was her only child. Of course her heart would ache for her daughter."Maybe we're just destined to be poor. Whatever. So be it. I won't complain anymore, so cheer up," Cassie said.Iris suddenly stopped and turned to face her mother.Feeling guilty, Cassie added, "It's all my fault. I was blinded by greed...""Mom." Iris hugged her mother tightly as tears streamed down her face.She couldn't hold it in any longer."You've had i

Renee laughed and looked at Cassie disdainfully. "Did you hear that? Your daughter and my son are divorced, so stop bothering my son."Cassie's eyes wavered. She told Stanley, "I apologize on Iris' behalf."Stanley let out a cold chuckle. "Even if you kneel and beg, it won't change anything. Your daughter said she would rather die than come back to me."There was bitterness in his tone.He admitted that Iris' words had wounded him.He had his pride too.He was too proud to humble himself to ask to get back together after what Iris had said.Besides, he thought to himself, she was not the only woman in the world. There were many women who were more beautiful than she was."Get over here and apologize to Stanley at once!" Cassie yelled at Iris.Iris felt a bitter taste in her throat. She grabbed her mother's arm. "Let's go, Mom.""Now that you're divorced, stop showing up in front of my son, you hear me? I never approved of this mismatched marriage in the first place. I'm glad

Iris picked up her cutlery and looked at her mother. "You should eat too, Mom." Had her mother finally seen the light? Iris wondered. Her mother's attitude was surprisingly good.Iris quietly let out a sigh of relief.She continued, "Don't you worry, Mom. I'll work hard to support you and Dad from now on. I can't promise that I'll definitely be rich, but we definitely won't have to worry about surviving...""Eat first, Iris," Cassie replied with a smile.Iris nodded and ate her stew. After finishing their meal, the two women exited the restaurant.Suddenly, Cassie grabbed Iris' hand, tears streaming down her face.Iris was taken aback. Just moments ago, everything seemed fine. "Mom, what's wrong?""Iris, please, go apologize to Stanley. Do it for me." Cassie had gone to see Stanley earlier today to apologize on her daughter's behalf, but her son-in-law, who had always treated her politely, refused to see her. She was driven away by security.She tripped on the stairs at t

"Yeah," Jason replied lightly, his gaze lingering on her face before asking, "Which building do you live in?"Iris pointed to the highrise on her right. "Unit 2 in Building 1, a single apartment.""I live across from you," he said.Iris glanced at the opposite building, recalling that her landlord had mentioned it during her rental process. The opposite building wasn't an apartment building."Well, I'll see you tomorrow," she said, eager to escape. She felt embarrassed getting caught crying at her age."Okay," Jason replied.She quickly walked into the building. As he watched her running away from him, a smile appeared on his face.Iris opted to skip the elevator, climbing the stairs to the sixth floor instead. Panting, she opened the door and set her things on the table. After pouring herself a glass of water and drinking it, she reflected on her earlier awkwardness. Why should she feel embarrassed? Everyone has moments of weakness; she's human, not a god. It's perfectly
