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

He dashed out of the hospital.Jason's phone stopped ringing, but soon rang again. He pressed the answer button, and a sweet voice came through. "Where are you, Jason?""I'll be there in a minute," he replied before hanging up.Looking at the screen, he recalled his regret for failing to notice Iris' messages right away. He thus marked her number as a priority contact – the only contact he had designated this way.He put away his phone and headed toward another ward.Yvonne already realized what Iris wanted to do. She asked, "Are you sure about this?"Iris asked, "Is there any reason to hesitate?"She was so scared back then. She couldn't fathom how her life would become if she was raped. Even now, she still had lingering fear.Fortunately, she had escaped unharmed!It's not that Yvonne wanted to stop Iris; she was just aware of how difficult it would be to convict Ted. The Zeller family would not tolerate such a scandal.Moreover, Ted went to law school too. It would not be

Iris' hands paused mid undressing, images of Ted from earlier flooding her mind. She trembled slightly; the shock she had experienced was not something easily calmed in such a short time.To avoid worrying Yvonne, she forced herself to respond calmly, "No..."Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief. She was so glad that no irreversible harm had been done to Iris; otherwise, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.Iris stood under the shower, vigorously scrubbing her skin until it turned red. No matter how hard she washed, she still felt dirty.After a long time, she emerged dressed, drying her damp hair with a towel.Knock, knock—There was a knock at the door, and Yvonne opened it to find Mike standing outside. She quickly averted her gaze and walked back into the apartment without saying anything.Mike felt dejected, his hands gently clenched. Yvonne was determined to end their relationship, and he felt helpless. No matter how hard he tried to prove his feelings for her, sh

Jason stared at Iris' message. He wondered how she was feeling. He had a thousand words on his mind and many things he wanted to say, but he had to refrain from expressing them.Setting down his phone, he rose from the couch and headed to the wardrobe to get dressed. He had plans for the day.-Iris spent a long time thinking about the case. Without sufficient evidence, it would be hard to convict Ted. Therefore, she decided to draft an indictment first.She aimed to startle Ted so that Ted would come talk to her on his own. If evidence was lacking, she would have to extract it from him.She submitted the indictment. It would take some time for it to be processed. She had the day off, so she decided to visit her parents.To mask her pale complexion, she applied some makeup; she didn’t want her parents to see her looking unwell, or they would worry about her.Along the way, she stopped to buy some fruits that her parents loved.When she arrived at her parents' house, she rang th

Iris was taken aback by Cassie's question. She looked at her mother in confusion. "Dating someone?" she asked, puzzled.Cassie studied her daughter, noting the makeup and the rosy blush on her cheeks, which gave her an appearance of someone blissfully in love. To Cassie, Iris' ignorance seemed like an act. Perhaps she thought it wasn’t the right time to announce it yet? After all, they probably hadn't been dating for that long.Holding her daughter's hand, Cassie spoke earnestly, "Iris, you're still very young. It’s wonderful that you can move on from your divorce so quickly. Mom and Dad are both really happy for you." She was really glad Iris hadn’t lost faith in love after a failed marriage.Iris was even more confused now. "Mom...""Alright, let’s not talk about it." Cassie stood up. "I need to steam the rice."The rice for sushi had to be steamed and cooled beforehand, so she needed to prepare it hours in advance.Iris stood up to help, but Cassie stopped her. "You rarely v

Therefore, they didn't think much of the call, considering it just another part of her job. Iris went to the balcony and closed the sliding door behind her. Iris had only submitted the indictment earlier that morning, so she was surprised to receive such a quick response. Typically, it could take a few days or even a week to get a reply. She's puzzled, but she's not complaining."I understand," she said before hanging up, returning to the dining table to finish her meal.Cassie asked, "Do you have to go back to work?"Iris nodded. "Yes, I have to leave after the meal."Although her parents wished she could stay longer, they knew it couldn't be helped.After lunch, Cassie reluctantly saw Iris off at the door.Iris said with a smile, "Go back inside. I’ll come again in a few days. My apartment isn’t that far."Cassie hesitated, wanting to ask her to visit more often, but instead said, "Keep working hard. You don't have to come that often. Your Dad and I don’t want you to distu

Vince smiled, "I am."Iris said, "You've married a good woman."Kendra said while holding her grandson, "What about you, Iris? I heard from your mother that you broke up with your boyfriend. Why? Men like him are rare. I can't believe you actually broke up with him. Let me tell you, if you miss out on him, you won't find anyone as good in the future. I used to think Stanley was handsome, but Jason's even better-looking. Don't be stupid. Since you met someone good, you should hold onto him tightly and never let go. Don't break up with him so easily." The smile on Iris' face instantly faded.Vince noticed her change in demeanor and immediately spoke sternly to his mother, "Mom, she's an adult; she knows what she's doing. There's no need for you to interfere.""I'm just worried about Iris," Kendra replied, "You've met him before, right? Tell me, do you think Iris can find someone better than him?"Vince fell silent. Even he recognized Jason's qualities were impressive.Although Ja

However, she wasn't hungry. The only thing she felt was uneasy."Don't tell me you haven't had dinner yet?" Jason asked."I have," she lied, trying to keep her tone casual. After some hesitation, she asked, "Are things going well on your end?""I'll personally send Fiora there. The flight's tomorrow," he replied."How many days will you be gone for?""Three or four days."There was a moment of silence before Iris asked, "Is it okay if I don't see you off?"If she did, she would inevitably meet Fiora.Fiora was still unaware of her relationship with Jason. If she found out, it would surely complicate matters.It wasn't the right time to let her know."Of course.""Is there anything else?" she asked."...No. Good night.""You too, good night."After hanging up, Iris curled up on the couch, feeling vulnerable. Her eyes kept darting towards the door, fearing an unexpected intrusion. She didn't think she could fall asleep.Determined to take precautions, she ordered a surveil

When she bent down to move it aside, she saw a folder inside with her name written on it, which puzzled her.She became wary. Someone had placed this box at the door knowing this was where she lived. This was no mere coincidence. Who could it be?After ensuring there was nothing dangerous inside the box, she retrieved the folder and set the cardboard box aside. Entering her house with the folder in hand, she dropped her car keys and bag before quickly opening it. There was a stack of photos inside, all pictures of her — when she left the house for work in the morning, when she reached the law firm, when she went out for lunch, and when she walked to her car in the underground parking lot after work.Panic set in as she realized these photos were secretly taken by someone who was following her. Her heart raced. Someone had been tracking her and documenting her movements. What was the intention of leaving these photos at her doorstep? Was it a threat? An intimidation tactic? She

Iris turned to her, surprised."You don't seem too happy," she teased. "Rather than getting married, it looks more like you're going to attend a funeral.""Is marriage something to be happy about? Aren't you a cautionary tale?" Yvonne shot back.Iris was speechless.She was indeed a textbook cautionary tale.Yvonne poured herself another glass. "Marriage isn't something to be happy about. I'm just fulfilling my parents' wishes."In the past, she just wanted to have fun and didn't want to get married. When her parents urged her to get married, her grandfather defended her.Now that her grandfather had fallen ill and was not in good health, he also wanted to see her get married.She could ignore her parents, but for her grandfather's sake, she had to get married.Iris sighed. "I'm sorry for being a bad example. You're not me. Most marriages don't end like mine. Most people do well."Yvonne smiled. "Are you trying to comfort me?""Kind of," Iris admitted."I'm very rational. I

She only realized that when she checked her phone at the end of the workday. Brad had called multiple times, but she merely glanced at the notifications without replying. There were also missed calls from Yvonne, who asked to meet up that evening.Iris messaged back, asking: [What time? Where?][Star Coast.][Got it.]Iris went to the underground parking lot. She took the stairs as the elevator was under maintenance. The maintenance was scheduled to be performed after work hours when there were fewer people.Her footsteps echoed in the dimly lit stairway, clattering loudly as emergency lights flickered on.A person in a black windbreaker, baseball cap, and face mask entered the stairway. Their head was bowed low, with half their face scrunched up inside their collar, obscuring their expression.Iris found her car, opened the door, and got in. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes watched her intently from the shadows.The person's tightly clenched hands and the bulging veins o

Iris kept quiet and didn't say anything. She felt a pang of regret over the waste since those things cost money. He could have just given them away instead of throwing them away. However, she couldn't help but find his jealousy endearing. She couldn't believe a successful man like him would get so jealous."Let me help you," she offered. She closed the fridge and moved into the kitchen to help him serve the breakfast that Samuel bought."What time did you wake up?" she asked."Before seven," he answered.Iris glanced at the time; it was already past eight.Just then, her phone in the bedroom rang.She got up to answer it and saw it was Brad calling. She hesitated before answering."What time are you coming to visit me, Iris?" Brad asked, sounding forlorn."I have to go to the law firm. I haven't been there for two days. I can't put the case off anymore," she explained, politely declining.Though it was true she had to deal with the case, she could actually spare a couple of ho

Jason simply smiled without saying a word, leaving Iris feeling as though she had been unwittingly tricked. He seemed like an easy-going person, but there was an innate confidence and control about him that set him apart from others."You have a hidden agenda, don't you?" she asked."Once you finish the case in Southerland, I'd like to transfer you overseas," he replied.As for Brad Vassell, he would continue to stay at the law firm.The two would naturally be separated.Iris sat up straight, alarmed. "What did you say?"She was not going to sacrifice her career for a man! Their relationship wasn't at a stage where such sacrifices were warranted. Actually, no matter how much she ended up loving him, she would not sacrifice her career for him. She had already learned her lesson."With your skills, limiting yourself to marriage cases is a waste. Don't you want to tackle international cases?" He spoke casually, but his words were full of temptation.Iris was aware that Jason had

"I'll explain to her." Jason bent down, lifted Iris up and carried her to the bedroom.Iris, feeling sad, buried her face in his neck. "I'm sorry," she mumbled."It's not your fault. You didn't know she would be there." When Jason opened the bedroom door, the light passed over his face, illuminating the fleeting hint of danger in his eyes. "When you went to the Vassell family mansion, what did they say to you?""They just thanked me for mentoring Brad..." At that moment, Iris felt something was off. A family like the Vassells wouldn't need to invite her to their house for something so trivial. But if it wasn't to express their gratitude, why would they invite her? She wasn't close to them, and their statuses were vastly different."What was their intention?" she asked, looking up at him.All she saw was his firm jaw.Jason answered, "They had their reasons."He didn't blame Iris for easily accepting Brad's invitation; she wasn't part of their circle and naturally didn't know the

Iris was unbothered by Yvonne's antics; she would be more surprised if Yvonne didn't say something inappropriate.Yvonne closed the door with a smile. To be honest, she was genuinely happy for Iris, pleased to see her stepping out of her shell. She didn't care if Iris got together with Brad or Jason. She was happy as long as Iris could emerge from the shadows of her failed marriage without losing her confidence in men and still being open to love. After all, they say once bitten, twice shy. Yvonne feared that Iris might lose her ability to love someone after experiencing Stanley's betrayal.Iris approached the dining table, eyeing the fried chicken and beer. "We have dinner now.""Junk food," Jason remarked, glancing at it before pulling out his phone to make a call.Iris interjected, "Don't. It's fine to have junk food once in a while; it's not like we eat this every day. It would be a waste to throw it away."She opened the paper bag, retrieved the fried chicken, and set out gla
