Iris hated herself for feeling this way. A little hardship like that should not have traumatized her so badly. Yet Jason reassured her, "You're doing great. Women are naturally disadvantaged in our society. You recently fell for the trap of a grown man. It's perfectly normal to feel frightened."She pursed her lips. "You're really good at making people feel better."In truth, she only fell for the trap because Ted was an old friend. That day, she was completely blindsided."Are you feeling better now? Do you want me to take you somewhere to relax?" Jason asked."Where?" Iris looked up and was immediately captivated by his strong profile and star-like eyes. He was undeniably handsome. After spending time with him, she felt as though he was an elder guiding her, providing her with comfort and support.If Jason knew what she was thinking, he would probably retort with, "Who are you calling an elder?""Can you ride a horse?" he asked.Iris shook her head. "No, I've never tried i

Jason parked the car, and they both stepped out.Iris stood in the warm sunlight, gazing up at the blue sky and fluffy white clouds. The bright rays illuminated the expansive equestrian field in the distance."Let's go," Jason said, leading her inside.Iris nodded and followed him. They soon reached the reception area, where the manager spotted Jason and promptly came forward to greet him. "It's great to see you again!" His familiarity and respect indicated that Jason was a regular customer."Hello," Jason replied with a slight nod. "Please take her to change clothes."Iris' outfit was unsuitable for horseback riding. She had to change into riding attire.The manager smiled at her and said, "No problem. This way, ma'am.""Thank you," Iris responded, following the manager to the changing area. A female attendant was called in to assist her. The equestrian attire was all brand new. Iris wasn't sure if there would be extra charges for the attire, but it seemed like she didn't h

Iris bit her lip. She really wanted to try it.Jason smiled and encouraged her, "Go on."Given the height of the horse, she struggled to mount. Jason asked her to hold the reins and stand next to the horse's belly. He then got down on one knee, wrapped an arm around her legs, and lifted her onto the horse's back.As she settled in, she felt a little scared; the height was intimidating, and the horse felt restless beneath her."It... It doesn't recognize its owner, does it?" she asked nervously."Of course it does," Jason said."Huh?" The moment she heard that, panic surged through her. "No, find me another horse – what if it throws me off?""I'm right here," Jason replied, swiftly jumping onto the horse too, riding behind her. He took hold of the reins and wrapped one arm securely around her waist. "Don't worry; I won't let you fall."His hold was tight. Iris was acutely aware of his strong arm that was hugging her waist. Her slender body fit snugly against his.She could feel

He threw a pillow at Henry. "Stop spacing out. What are you thinking about?"Henry picked up the pillow and hugged it. He hesitated before telling Stanley, "I just found out something shocking.""What is it?" Stanley asked casually."Ted tried to force himself on Iris...""What did you say?!" Stanley's eyes widened in shock, his face twisting with anger."Wait, calm down. I heard it from Yvonne. I don't know if it's true...""Would Yvonne lie about something like that?!!!" Stanley roared, his anger palpable.Henry thought about it and agreed. Yvonne and Iris were close friends; Yvonne wouldn't spread false rumors about Iris.Ted was secretly in love with Iris for eight years. It wouldn't be surprising if his love became twisted.Stanley was seething, his chest heaving with rage. "I knew he's a piece of shit! All that tail-wagging around Iris, it turns out he's preying on her!""Calm down, Stanley. Yvonne said Iris is fine; Ted failed...""So what?!" Stanley's anger only inte

Ted tried to get up and run away, but the woman merely shot him a disdainful glance. "The drug I gave you could knock out an ox. You're not gonna escape," she taunted.Swallowing hard, Ted asked, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?""For money, duh." As her fingers wandered into his collar, brushing against his sturdy chest, she added, "This is the first time I've done something that can make money while also pleasuring myself."Outraged, Ted threatened, "You wouldn't dare!"The woman chuckled, "Why wouldn't I dare? You're like a lamb to the slaughter right now. I can do whatever I want to you."With that, she began to undo his belt and take off his pants."Don't act all indignant. Look at you, hard as a rock already. I know you want it," she teased, her fingers exploring his sensitive areas.Despite his disgust, Ted felt an involuntary response to her touch, igniting his lust.Outside, Samuel leaned against the wall, urging the woman impatiently, "Hurry up."Ted looked towa

Lester stole a peek at Stanley's face, wondering internally, 'Why is he so angry?'Henry also glanced at Stanley through the rearview mirror."Drive faster," Stanley urged impatiently."This is downtown; the car can't fly," Henry retorted. He was already pushing the car to over seventy miles per hour – how much faster could he go?After what felt like an eternity, they finally arrived at the Imperial Court Hotel.Stanley leaped out the moment the car came to a halt. He stormed into the hotel, clearly intending to confront TedFollowing behind him, Lester urged, "Stanley, you're injured. Don't do anything rash. Keep your cool when you see him.""He coveted my woman and tried to steal her from me, even resorting to despicable means. How can I keep my cool? If I let him off, I wouldn’t be Stanley Stein," he replied, quickening his pace.As they entered the elevator, Stanley's voice was grim. "Which room?""609," Lester answered.The elevator zipped upward, and despite its speed,

Ted screamed furiously, "It's you! You're the one who set me up and tried to bring down the Zeller family! Stanley Stein, I'll kill you!" He strangled Stanley. Stanley's arm was injured, so he couldn't fight back. However, the effects of the drug were still lingering in Ted's system, so his grip was not that strong.Ted's action was so sudden that it caught Lester and Henry off guard. However, they quickly reacted and sprang into action, prying Ted's hands away from Stanley's throat. Each holding one of Ted's arms, they dragged him off Stanley."Stanley, are you okay?" Henry asked. Despite the dizziness from hitting his head, Stanley shook it off, assessing his injured arm. His arm seemed okay.Using his uninjured arm to support himself, he got up from the floor.The woman stood to the side, bewildered by the chaotic scene unfolding before her.What's going on? Who are these people?Stanley turned to her, asking, "Have you called the police?"The woman, sensing the animosi

That was the way the world worked. "Who assaulted you?" the cop asked.The woman pointed accusingly at Ted.Ted's eyes were bloodshot, filled with anger and confusion."You guys..." His bloodshot eyes swept over his three former friends.Henry snorted in contempt, as if saying that Ted got what he deserved and only had himself to blame.The police handcuffed Ted.The woman, not fully clothed to bolster her claim of being raped, was instructed by the police to put on some clothes, and she complied. She then followed them back to the police station.The room was left in an uneasy silence.Lester broke the stillness, asking, "Should we go?"Stanley turned to Henry and said, "Ask Yvonne for Iris' address. I don't know which unit she lives in."Henry nodded. "Lester, you take Stanley back. I'll look for Yvonne."Lester quickly caught on to Henry's intentions. "You just want to see the girl."Henry smiled unabashedly. "I haven't won her over yet, so I need to be more proactive.

Cassie smiled upon hearing that. "I'll tidy up your room for you."She walked away with light steps, every cell in her body leaping with joy, indicating her good mood.Dennis watched his wife with love and indulgence in his eyes. "Look how happy she is."Iris noticed the affection in her father's eyes. She was deeply moved by his love for her mother.In the old days, there were a lot of men who couldn't accept not having a son, so her father's equal regard for daughters was refreshing. It showed how much he loved his wife."My career is on the rise now. In a couple of years, once my career stabilizes, I'll take on fewer cases, and I'll have more time to spend with you," Iris said."Okay," Dennis replied.Iris spent the evening watching TV and chatting with her parents. She listened to Cassie gossip about their relatives.Cassie and Dennis usually went to bed early, but they stayed up late that day because Iris was there. The three of them conversed and enjoyed each other's comp

Cassie failed to understand her husband's intentions and remarked, "It's not easy for our daughter to earn money. Do we really need to go on vacation? Since when are you so extravagant?""I..."Before Dennis could explain, Iris set down her cutlery and addressed her mother earnestly. "Mom, I'm happy to spend money on you. Your happiness is what matters to me. If I earn money but don't use it, what's the point? Since Dad wants to go, you should go with him. You both have worked hard all your lives; it's time to enjoy yourselves. Don't worry about money; I'm doing well."She retrieved a bank card from her bag. "There's $150,000 in here."Cassie's eyes widened. "So much?"Iris continued, "I'm an official lawyer now and can earn commissions from cases. You both should spend some money and enjoy yourselves. Don't hold back."Cassie took the card, but didn't put it in her pocket. Despite her love for money, Cassie was reluctant to spend the money that her daughter earned. She returned

Iris chuckled upon hearing that. "Why do you sound like a clingy girlfriend?""Just think of me as your clingy girlfriend then," he replied with a grin.Iris looked at the time."What's the matter? Do you have a date?" Brad asked.She shook her head. "I have an appointment with a witness.""Do you want to go there directly or do you want to go to the law firm first?" he asked.Iris decided they should stop by the law firm first to pick up some stuff. Brad nodded, and they headed to the firm before meeting the witness.The case Iris was handling was complex and couldn't be resolved quickly; it involved multiple parties and factors. Iris was also juggling another case simultaneously. A month later, one case was resolved while another entered its final critical stage, keeping her extremely busy.During this time, Cassie had called her, telling Iris she missed her and asking Iris to visit, but Iris simply didn't have the time. This hectic pace continued for another two months.Sum

Brad arrived at Iris' house precisely at ten past seven. Holding the lunchbox, he rang the doorbell. Iris had just woken up, still in her pajamas, and wondered who could possibly be at the door this early. Sometimes, if she weren't driving, Brad would pick her up at around ten to eight. He wouldn't come this early.When she opened the door, she found him dressed in smart casual attire — a suit jacket, trousers, and white sneakers. In the past, he would wear cool attires like casual pants with a hoodie or a leather jacket, but after accompanying Iris to court on formal occasions, he had adapted his wardrobe considerably. Although he still felt uncomfortable in formal wear, he looked much more mature than before."You're here so early?" Iris asked, surprised."When you're busy, you never eat properly," Brad replied, entering without hesitation. He knew the passcode to her house anyway, so he made himself at home. He walked directly to the dining table. "Go freshen up and change yo

"Are you really going to take on that case, by the way?" Brad asked Iris.Iris asked him back, "Why shouldn't I?""This kind of case could go viral online and attract public scrutiny. I'm worried you'll face backlash. Many people these days lack critical thinking and just follow the crowd," Brad expressed.Iris responded firmly, "I'm a lawyer. I just need to fulfill my duties and do my job well. If I have to weigh the pros and cons before taking on every case..." she turned to him, adding, "What would be the point of doing this job?"Brad fell silent for a moment, then conceded, "Yes, you're right. Don't worry, I'll be at your side."Iris poured cold water on his enthusiasm. "I don't need you to be at my side. You need to go independent.""I don't want to," Brad said, sticking close to her, as if afraid of being left behind."What? Are you just going to cling to me?" she asked."Yes, I am," he chuckled."By the way, I need some fruits but I don't have time to go to the superma

Brad was right, Fiora knew that now. Yet her personality made it difficult for her to apologize and admit her mistakes. When Brad tried to take a sip of water, she snatched the glass from him.Brad looked at her, speechless. Fiora lifted her chin defiantly. "Whether he cares about me or not is none of your business."Brad wanted to ask her if her head had been kicked by a donkey. Instead, he said, "Alright, think what you want. I'm not your brother; I'm not gonna worry about you."Unintentionally, his words elicited a silent reaction from Iris, who lowered her gaze."My brother is overseas dealing with his heartbreak; he doesn't have time to worry about me," Fiora lamented. "I wonder if all the luck in our family has gone to the financial side. Is that why we're so unlucky in everything else? Half a year ago, my brother announced that he had a girlfriend. My mom had even met her and apparently really liked her, but then it all fell apart. My love life is rocky, and my brother's is

Iris said, "Just shut up and order."Brad obediently picked up the menu.Fiora watched the exchange, somewhat shocked at how readily Brad complied with Iris' command.Before this, she and Brad had looked down on each other, and their mutual disdain was evident. She had always thought Brad was too wild and could not be easily controlled, yet here he was, completely under Iris' command. She wondered how Iris had managed to subdue such a wilful young man, especially given Brad's less-than-ideal character.Having spent considerable time with Iris, Brad knew her preferences in food. He ordered the dishes he knew she liked, along with some of his own favorites, before turning to Fiora. "What would you like?""Anything," Fiora replied, prompting Brad to place a random order for her.While they waited for the food, Fiora broached the topic that lingered between them. "About what happened before...""Let's not dwell on the past," Iris interjected. To her, an apology from Fiora held littl

Iris didn't stop. She felt that they weren't acquainted so there was nothing to talk about.Fiora chased after her, tugging on Brad's arm as she ran past him. "Help me out."Brad thus followed behind her, saying, "If she doesn't want to talk to you, don't force her..."Fiora shot him an annoyed glare. Brad was speechless. Why did she glare at him? She was still the same spoiled brat."Wait, I'm not here to be your enemy," Fiora called as she caught up with Iris.Iris had to cross the street, but the continuous flow of traffic forced her to stop, giving Fiora a chance to catch up to her."I just want to apologize," Fiora said.Iris turned back in surprise. Those unexpected words caught her off guard. She did not expect it from Fiora at all.Why would Fiora suddenly apologize to her?"I know Stanley's married now. He married that evil woman," Fiora continued.Learning that Stanley had married Wendy had changed Fiora's opinion of Iris, but it wasn't until last night that she t

When Iris opened the door, she was shocked to see that it was Samuel. "What are you doing here?" she asked, puzzled.Samuel replied, "Mr. Just is not in the country. He asked me to check on you. Do you need anything?"Jason had seen Iris' message, but she had deleted it before he could listen to it. Concerned about her, had sent Samuel to check if everything was alright since he was abroad.Iris tightened her grip on the doorknob. Something stirred in the bottom of her heart. She tried to sound calm as she said, "I'm fine.""I'll be in the country all month. If you need anything, feel free to call me," Samuel said, handing her his business card. "Here's my contact."Iris hesitated for a moment before taking it."Are you sure you're fine?" Samuel asked, noticing her pale complexion.Though Iris had forgotten about her stomach pain because she was preoccupied with her thoughts, her complexion gave away her condition. She forced a nod. "I'm fine. Really."Samuel studied her for a
