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."
View MoreBefore he left the country, he could sense that something was off with Iris. And now, she's not answering his calls. Also, why were she and that young man together at such a late hour?Just as Iris was about to take a shower and go to bed, the doorbell rang. Opening the door, she found Brad standing outside."Why are you..."Before she could finish, Brad handed her the phone. "You left this in the car."Iris received it with a smile. "I didn't even notice."Brad did not mention Jason's calls at all. He smiled and said, "Good night."Iris nodded. "Good night."After Brad left, she closed the door and tossed her phone onto the bed before heading to the bathroom. The sound of the shower filled the room.Her phone on the bed once again vibrated. It persisted for a whole minute before the call automatically ended. Jason heard the message, "The person you're trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."Half an hour later, Iris emerged from the bathroom in
Sensing from Stanley's tone that something was wrong, Henry glanced at Stanley through the rearview mirror and was taken aback by his dejected expression.This was the once proud and arrogant Stanley, now at a low point in his life.There were some things that Henry could see clearly as an outsider, but couldn't tell Stanley.Iris had changed. Henry did not think there was any hope of reconciliation.Pointing that out would only hurt Stanley's feelings. However, if he remained silent, Stanley would continue to deceive himself. After a moment of hesitation, Henry finally broke the silence. "You know, Stanley, there are many other good women out there. Why not find someone new? Fiora is a great choice. She loves you. Spending your life with someone who loves you isn't a bad idea...""When did you start becoming so concerned with my love life?" Stanley interrupted impatiently, cutting Henry off before he could finish.Henry pursed his lips in frustration. He was just trying to hel
Iris approached Brad and asked, "Are you okay?"Seeing Stanley leaning against the wall, clearly in pain, Brad couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine," he answered.The ex-husband clearly took a worse hit than he did."Good. Let's go then," Iris said, turning to leave.Yvonne caught up and said, "I'll leave with you guys."Iris gave her silent agreement, while Henry tagged along, insisting, "And me.""Get lost!" Yvonne snapped."Don't be so heartless," Henry persisted.Yvonne blocked his path and told Iris, "Iris, you go ahead."Iris, weary of the situation, acknowledged her with a nod and walked away.She and Brad went to Brad's car. They had both been drinking, so they could only call a buddy driver service.Yvonne looked at Stanley, then back at Henry. With a smirk, she presented Henry with a difficult choice, "I'll give you a choice: either we end it here or you completely cut ties with Stanley Stein. Pick one."Henry asked in disbelief, "Do you really need to be so mercile
Brad sneered, "Iris is an independent woman, so of course I have no right to interfere in her business. And you, as her ex-husband, have no right either."Stanley's gaze darkened. He noticed Brad holding Iris' hand. A cold smile curled his lips. "Let go of her.""Nope!" Brad replied defiantly, tilting his head back.Stanley narrowed his eyes, and the two stood at the brink of conflict, tension thick in the air.Iris patted Brad's shoulder and said, "Don't waste time talking to him; let's go."Turning to face Iris, Brad immediately changed his attitude. He replied with a huge smile, "Okay."He pushed past Stanley, who was blocking the way.Frustration boiled within Stanley. He was fed up with Brad's constant interference and provocation. He felt humiliated.He couldn't stand it anymore!Without a second thought, he turned and kicked Brad.Caught off guard, Brad staggered forward but managed to stay on his feet.Iris was appalled. She did not expect Stanley to attack a kid lik
Henry frequented nightlife venues, so his capacity for alcohol was nothing to be trifled with. He filled Brad's glass with a smile."Cheers." He draped an arm over Brad's shoulder, holding a glass of wine in his other hand.Brad raised his glass, "Cheers."They clinked their glasses and downed the drinks in one go.Henry refilled their glasses, and they drank again.The pouring and drinking continued...Iris sensed something was off by the fourth drink. "Enough, you two, stop drinking." She took the glass from Brad's hand. "That's enough wine for tonight."But Henry hadn't achieved his goal yet. He smiled at Iris and said,. "But Iris, we're having a good time.""No more drinking," Iris said firmly. She knew Henry's limits with alcohol and knew that Brad was probably no match for him. If Brad continued drinking, he would end up drunk, and she could tell that Henry was trying to get him drunk.It was their first meeting, so Iris couldn't understand why Henry was messing with B
Iris said okay, and the four of them left the house. Henry chose the restaurant, claiming he knew a place with delicious food. Iris thought everyone was tired and deserved a good meal, so she agreed. She would only take care of the bill, leaving the rest to Henry.The restaurant was quite nice. It was a place popular among the wealthy elite, so the prices were naturally high. Henry ordered food he had tried before, all of which he knew was delicious.Yvonne asked, "Do you guys want to drink some wine?""Yeah, let's drink some wine," Henry agreed.The two were truly a matching pair. "Alright," Iris said.They ordered a bottle of wine along with the food.Yvonne opened the wine, stood up, and poured drinks for everyone. When she got to Iris, she patted Iris' shoulder, leaned in, and whispered, "That young man is not bad; don't miss out on him."Iris furrowed her brow at this comment."I'm not telling you to date him. Just have some fun with him," Yvonne said, lifting her chin
Before Iris could reply, Brad already introduced himself, "I'm Iris' assistant."Yvonne looked him up and down. "Iris' assistant? How come I don't know she has an assistant?"She shot Iris a meaningful look.Iris sighed, knowing that Yvonne must be thinking nonsense again. She was well aware of her friend's nature."I've only become Iris' assistant recently," Brad explained with a smile."Oh, I see," Yvonne said, running her fingers through her hair and extending her other hand to Brad. "I'm Iris' best friend, Yvonne."Just as Brad was about to shake her hand, Henry suddenly jumped forward, reaching out to shake Brad's hand first. "And I'm Henry, a good friend of Iris and also Yvonne's boyfriend."Brad was confused by Yvonne and Henry's behaviors.Iris handed Brad a cardboard box. "Help me take this downstairs, please.""Sure," he nodded."Quit drooling over every man you see. He's just a brat. Besides a young face, what else does he have?" Henry said, reminding Yvonne, "You
Iris caught something suspicious in Brad's words. "What? Were you trying to scare me just now?""No, no, you misheard! Hurry up and get in the car," Brad said, hastily jumping into the driver's seat.Iris stood on the roadside, staring at him.Brad rolled down the window and solemnly swore, "I absolutely won't drive fast. If I do, let me never get a girlfriend."Iris chuckled. "What kind of oath is that?"Reluctantly, she got into the car. "It's a tragic fate if a man can't get a girlfriend," he joked as he started the engine."Don't worry, it won't happen to you," Iris said, fastening her seatbelt.Brad's driving was noticeably calmer this time, and they had a smooth ride back to her residence. The moving company was already there waiting for her.Iris stepped out of the car. "Are you from the moving company?" she asked as she approached."Yes, are you Ms. Glover? I was just about to call you," one of the movers replied. They had actually just arrived."Yes, I am. Come w
Stanley was furious!He slammed the steering wheel in frustration. He had been played!Meanwhile, Brad sped through the streets like a bullet. Iris was aware of his driving skills, but it was still terrifying considering they were in the city center. She felt a jolt of terror as the car squeezed through tight gaps between vehicles. She instinctively grabbed the overhead handle and screamed as they narrowly missed another car by mere inches."Slow down!" she yelled hoarsely.In response, Brad pressed the gas pedal even harder, only stopping once they reached the elevated bridge outside the city center.Iris flung the door open, almost throwing up. This was an even scarier experience than the race.Brad looked incredulous. "Really? It was that scary?"Iris struggled to find her voice. "I'm never getting in your car again..." She patted her chest, trying to calm her racing heart.Brad was taken aback. Was it really that bad?"I helped you shake off your ex-husband. Instead of t
On the day Iris Glover was prosecuted in court by her husband, it was snowing heavily.From their courtship to their marriage, they had been together for seven years. She had always believed in his love for her; they were happy together. However, everything changed when he personally prosecuted her in court because of an accusation made by Wendy Rain.During the trial, the judge stated the case: "On November 23rd, during a drunk driving checkpoint on Westfield Road, a prohibited substance was discovered in the vehicle driven by the defendant, Ms. Iris Glover. We are here today to address these charges.""Prosecutor, please present your statement."Stanley Stein stood tall in a black suit, exuding seriousness. When he looked at his wife, there was only disappointment and indifference in his eyes. "On November 23rd, Ms. Glover drove a white car, license plate V8861, in which five grams of prohibited substance was found. Ms. Glover claims Ms. Wendy Rain had called her to pick up her i...
