Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 128
Ted called Yvonne again.-Iris and Jason arrived at the law firm. Denise was waiting for Iris at the lobby. As soon as she spotted Iris, she stood up to greet her."What are you doing here?" Iris asked.Denise looked curiously at both Iris and Jason. "You two came to work together?" Her tone implied that her real question was if they had spent the night together.Iris finally figured out why Denise and Yvonne got along so well; they both shared a love for gossip and making speculations.She smiled at Jason and said, "I'll go up in a minute."Jason nodded and walked away.Iris pulled Denise aside. "Denise, please stop teasing me."Denise laughed. "Okay, I'll stop. But honestly, your boss is great. If you don't seize the opportunity, someone else will, and you'll regret it."Iris smiled helplessly. She acknowledged that Jason was an exceptional man, but she was just recently divorced, so she had no interest in pursuing another relationship. Besides, she knew it was impossibl

Iris looked up to see Mike Henderson. She offered him a smile. "Yes, I'm meeting a friend here."Mike's expression changed slightly at her response."It's not Yvonne," Iris quickly added, noticing his concern. "Are you here to have lunch too?"Mike shook his head. "No, I work here."He seemed comfortable in his own skin, not feeling inferior because of his job."You're working here?" Iris only now noticed his waiter's uniform."Miss Glover!" Denise approached quickly. "Sorry, I got stuck in traffic.""I just got here too," Iris said, standing up.Denise took her seat, and Mike handed her the menu. "Please take a look and see what you'd like."Denise took the menu and flipped through it. After a moment of thought, she looked at Iris. "What would you like to have?"Mike chimed in, "I recommend the crab roe fried rice and the wine crab. Those are our specialties."Iris looked up at Mike. "This is my friend, so don't try to trick us with overpriced food.""I'm not, Iris. I'm ma

This situation would be unbearable for any man, let alone a military officer."Have you always known about your brother and this woman?" Iris asked.Denise shook her head. "I only found out after he got into trouble. Before that, he did mention that he had a girlfriend, but he wouldn't get married. When my family asked, he said she's a divorcee and didn't want to marry again so soon. We didn't think much of it. Turns out the woman is a military spouse, not a divorcee."After a pause, Denise asked, "It's a difficult case, right?"Iris replied honestly, "Don't get your hopes up."Denise's shoulders slumped, looking dejected."I'll ask Mr. Just to see if there's a way," Iris continued. "I consider you a friend, so don't do this again." She handed the card back to Denise.Reluctantly, Denise took it back. "I feel like I'm troubling you.""It's no trouble. Besides, you bought me lunch, didn't you?" Iris replied.Denise smiled. Regardless of the eventual outcome, she was grateful fo

"Ted." Iris' eyes widened in shock and confusion at Ted's words and facial expression. How could he say such a thing?"You got it wrong," she clarified, trying her best to keep her mind clear. "He's just my boss. He has no feelings for me, and I don't think about him in that way either...""Really?" Ted was clearly unconvinced. He said, his voice hoarse, "You'd rather have him take you home than me. Why? You've known me for eight years; don't I deserve your trust more than someone you've only known for a few months? Am I not worth your trust?"Iris stood up from the couch. "I don't feel so well; I have to go..."She attempted to leave, but Ted seemed unperturbed."You're not leaving," he stated unhurriedly.The moment Iris stood up, she swayed unsteadily and fell back onto the couch. "What have you done to me?"Something felt terribly wrong. This wasn’t merely the feeling of being drunk.Why did she feel so weak?Ted embraced her, gently kissing her on the forehead. She strugg

Iris did not have the strength to escape, so spoke softly in an attempt to reach Ted's conscience. "I've known you for eight years, Ted. Even if I don't love you in that way... I've always considered you my good friend... and I've always trusted you... This is against the law... If you do this, I'll never forgive you..."Ted responded with a manic laugh, sending a shiver down Iris' spine. She felt suffocated by the darkness in Ted's heart."After we have sex, you'll fall in love with me. It's not illegal for a man and a woman who love each other to have sex, is it?" he said, reaching to unbutton her coat. "Do you know that I've never loved another woman in my life?"His fingers brushed against her delicate neck, making Iris' hair stand on end – Iris' body instinctively rejected him.Ted's voice dropped to a low, hoarse whisper. "I'm a normal man with needs. Do you know how I usually satisfy my needs?"Iris was the subject of his fantasy. Every time he masturbated, he fantasized ab

Ted quickly ended the call, glaring at Iris. "Are you really so unwilling to be with me?"Since Iris' plan was foiled, she stopped pretending. Ted would no longer believe her anyway.She expressed her disgust of him openly. "I can't believe you're actually such a disgusting man, Ted Zeller! Simply looking at you makes me feel sick! How could I possibly want to be with you?"His eyes twitched. "You find me disgusting?"A moment later, he continued, "Okay, if that's how you see me, then I'll show you how disgusting I can be!"Fury consumed him as Iris' words filled his mind. He lunged at Iris, tearing at her clothes recklessly...Bang!Suddenly, the door to the private room burst open. Yvonne rushed in, grabbed a bottle and smashed it on Ted's head. Mike seized the chance to pull Ted away from Iris.Mike was with Yvonne when Iris made the call; he had run into her. Yvonne knew where Iris and Ted were; that was why they could reach the place so quickly.Yvonne kicked Ted viciousl

Mike, who was suddenly pushed aside, looked confused at first. However, Yvonne seemed to recognize the man, so he quietly stepped back.Jason assessed Iris. Despite the cold weather, her face was flushed, with beads of sweat forming on her forehead...Yvonne replied angrily, "She was drugged."Jason looked up abruptly, cold fury flashing in his eyes. "Who did this?""Ted Zeller," Yvonne answered. "I won’t let him get away with it."Without hesitation, Jason scooped Iris into his arms. Yvonne quickly went to summon a doctor.There wasn't really an effective treatment for Iris' condition. She was given a sedative to help her through the ordeal.Panting slightly, Iris complained, "I feel so uncomfortable..."Her hair was matted with sweat, clinging to her face and partially obscuring her features. Her lips were slightly parted, crimson and inviting, as she breathed heavily.The sound of her heavy breathing was unbelievably seductive."Everyone leave," Jason instructed."But—"

Jason replied, "You heard wrong," before promptly hanging up.Samuel was left confused. He wondered if Jason might be in a relationship.Putting his phone away, Jason got up to pour a cup of warm water and put it on the table. He helped Iris sit up, then held the cup to her lips, tilting it slightly.Sensing the water on her lips, Iris drank eagerly, quickly finishing the entire cup."Do you want more?" Jason asked softly.Looking up, Iris immediately saw his sharp, distinct facial features. Though she felt a bit better now, she was exhausted, and her body felt weak. "No, I'm good," she replied hoarsely.Realizing she was leaning against him, Iris quickly pulled back and distanced herself from him. Adjusting her collar, she asked, "Mr. Just, what are you doing in the hospital?""My little sister got injured, so I came to visit her," he explained, placing the cup back on the table.Iris was surprised. She had known Jason for some time now, but she rarely heard him mention his fa

After the waiter finished serving the food, he exited the private room and closed the door.Iris retreated to the wall. The door was shut tight, isolating the sounds within. She stood frozen. Jason and Fiora were siblings? And Jason only liked her because she looked like the woman of his dreams?A bitter chuckle escaped her at the thought. No wonder. With Jason's qualities, there was no reason for him to be interested in her.Thank goodness. Thank goodness she hadn't allowed herself to believe that he liked her because of her qualities. Thank goodness she hadn't invested too much emotionally. Thank goodness she had found out early, so it's not too late.Taking a deep breath, she went back to Brad, who was slumping in his chair, looking unwell. He looked up at her, his face a picture of discomfort. "Iris, I feel terrible," he said pitifully.Iris sighed. "I'll go buy you some digestive pills. Wait here."Brad nodded obediently. "Okay."Iris quickly searched for a nearby pharmac

They moved to a private room for their meal. Fiora's eyes were swollen from crying; her breakup with Stanley had hit her hard. Jessica, on the other hand, was pretty happy about the breakup. "Hmph, what's there to cry about? Pathetic."Despite the situation, Fiora retorted stubbornly, "Have you never been in love, Mom?"Jessica was momentarily taken aback. "Who knows if what you feel is really love?" she sneered.Perhaps Jessica had never lacked love and therefore couldn't relate. She and her husband had grown up together and had matching backgrounds. After marriage, they had a son and a daughter, and their relationship was stable. Their relationship, while not as passionate as those depicted on screen, had endured through the years. Her husband, despite his wealth and status, did not fool around outside or have an affair. He was devoted to his family and was a responsible and caring husband. Wasn't that a relationship to be envied? Passionate love was rare in this world; it w

"Contribute to the country?" Brad leaned on the table and teased, "You're quite patriotic, aren't you?"Iris asked, "Don't you love your country?""Of course I do," Brad responded.Iris walked out of the reception room. "I hope that's a truthful answer," she remarked, glancing back at him."I wouldn't deign to tell lies..." His voice trailed off as his stomach rumbled loudly, prompting an awkward cough.Iris chuckled. "I'll treat you to breakfast."Brad rolled his eyes. "Boss, it's already ten o'clock. Are you sure it's breakfast and not lunch?"Iris packed her things. "Don't call me 'boss.'"Brad stared at her for a moment before bursting into laughter. "You care about that kind of thing?""Of course," she replied. "'Boss' makes me feel old. I'm still young."Suddenly, Brad leaned in close. When Iris looked up, she was startled to see his face right in front of her."You scared me," she said, glaring at him.He laughed heartily. "Haha...""Let's go," Iris said, heading ou

After that, the man eagerly asked, "Do I have a chance?"Iris pondered for a bit and replied, "You do, if everything you said is true...""Everything I said is true," the man hastily interjected.Iris raised her eyes, her gaze cold and firm. "Let me finish?""Okay, okay," he nodded, listening intently as she continued. "The first time you sexually assaulted her, she was still young, so she can't remember it clearly. Without direct evidence, it's difficult to prove what you did. She can only be certain about the sexual assault that occurred when she was in 10th grade. However, at that time, she was no longer a minor. The most crucial point is that there is a huge time gap between that incident and her recent suicide, so it would be challenging for the prosecution to link the two events together. However, if they have enough evidence, you will be convicted for sexual assault."The man's expression dimmed. "Oh, I see. If her suicide cannot be directly linked to my actions and I'm onl

Brad finished the coffee in one go. Iris frowned as she observed him. Something appeared to be on his mind. After setting the cup down, he expressed his gratitude. "Thanks," he said, grabbing his coat and standing up. "Shall we have breakfast together?" he invited."I've already eaten. I'm waiting for someone," Iris replied."Okay, never mind then," Brad shrugged. He draped his coat over his shoulder and walked away unsteadily.After checking the time, Iris said, "I can keep you company though." However, right after she said that, the woman arrived. "Looks like I can't," she said apologetically.Brad suddenly walked back and asked, "Can I join you?"While Iris was hesitating, he explained, "My father said he would send me abroad if I don't show results at the law firm. I don't want to go abroad."Iris smiled at the woman and said, "Let's go to the reception room."She then instructed Brad, "Go make two cups of coffee and bring it over."Meeting her gaze, he understood her m

Iris did not deny that it was one of the reasons.Stanley's expression broke down completely. "Hah." It seemed like he was mocking himself. Staring at the torn pieces of paper on the ground, he admitted, "I didn't even attend that seminar. It wasn't me who wrote that review."This revelation stunned Iris. "It wasn't you?"But she quickly regained her composure. It didn't matter anymore at this point."Just leave," she said, once again driving him away.Stanley stared intently at her face, searching for a hint of veiled emotion, but all he found was cold indifference. "Do you love me as a person, or—""Do you really want me to call the cops?" Iris interrupted, her patience wearing thin. She didn't want to engage in discussions about love or past relationships; it was all behind her. What did it matter now? People should look forward, not dwell on the past."You call me heartless, but you're even more heartless than I am," Stanley said hoarsely.Iris was unmoved. Stanley cont

Iris pushed open the car door and stepped out, quickly walking away as if trying to escape. She wasn't entirely sure what she feared — perhaps she was afraid that she couldn't handle whatever Jason might say. Once home, she received a text from him: [The business trip is delayed for a day.]She stared at the message for a long moment before replying with a simple [Okay.]Feeling utterly exhausted, she lay down on her bed and fell asleep without even showering.The next morning, she took a shower after she woke up and changed into clean clothes. She then left the house to go to her parents' home to take her parents to the hospital for a full-body checkup.However, when she opened the door of her apartment, something fell inside, startling her.That "something" turned out to be Stanley, who had been sleeping at her doorstep. He stood up with a stubbly beard, tired eyes, and wrinkled clothes. "I came last night. I wanted to knock but was afraid of disturbing your sleep..."Iris' e

She tried to make excuses for herself.Jason said, "It's okay."He looked at Iris.Iris helplessly rubbed her temples. There was nothing she could do about her mother's temper.Iris suggested taking Dennis to the hospital, but he stubbornly refused, insisting he was fine except for a minor injury on his face.Cassie said it was late and that she would take him to the hospital tomorrow to get a full-body checkup.Reluctantly, Iris acquiesced to their wishes. After Iris' parents exited the car, Cassie suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Iris, your Aunt Kendra said you and Jason have helped her a lot, so she wants you two to visit so she can thank you properly."Iris immediately rejected it. "Tell her there's no need. I'm busy with work lately, so I won't be able to visit."Cassie frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about what happened to Kendra and her family?"Iris saw through her mother's intentions immediately. "Why should I tell you about other people's affairs? B

Renee bristled at the suggestion that she should go over to them. "Tell them to come here. They should be grateful that I'm willing to apologize to them. I'm not going over there. They don't deserve it."Stanley said, "You came to apologize. Go."He understood the stakes clearly. If his mother and Iris' parents became hostile, his chances of salvaging his relationship with Iris would plummet. Therefore, even though he knew how stubborn Renee was, he still persuaded her to go over to them.Renee couldn't put her pride aside. She had always looked down on Iris' parents, and being asked to take the initiative to go over to them felt like a total humiliation. Apologizing to them was already a huge compromise."Since you've come to apologize, then do it properly. Don't give them any leverage," Stanley urged.Renee snorted, "I'm not afraid of them.""You should be," Stanley insisted. "If Iris raises a ruckus at the Just residence, what chance do I have of salvaging my relationship with
