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.

    Iris nodded in agreement.Jason led the way, and she followed. She walked awkwardly and slowly. Noticing her pace, Jason deliberately slowed down to match her.Iris said, embarrassed, "Mr. Just, um, why don't you go ahead?"Jason glanced around. There were no shuttle vehicles like golf carts that they could ride; the equestrian center was huge, and it would take some time to reach the exit."Sorry, I should have been more mindful. It's your first time riding, so of course there are many things you're not used to." He pursed his lips and said, "I can carry you on my back if you want."Feeling embarrassed, Iris quickly waved her hands in refusal. "No, it's okay. I can walk."She coughed lightly, adding, "It's actually not that bad. I have no problem walking."Jason lowered his gaze, briefly assessing her legs. "Are you sure?"Iris nodded repeatedly. "I'm sure."She would rather endure a bit of discomfort than let Jason carry her. It felt too intimate, an action usually reserve

    It turned out, Jason was his boss."Does that mean I can come here for free from now on?" Iris joked."Yes, for free, and you can come anytime. It'll always be open to you," Jason replied."Thank you," Iris said.Riding a horse was very relaxing. She really liked the feeling. As a lawyer, stress was a constant companion, so this was a great way to unwind.As they drove into the city, Jason suddenly pulled over to the side of the road. Iris thought he might have a quick errand so she didn’t ask any questions. When he returned, he handed her a few boxes of medicine. It was then that she noticed there was a pharmacy nearby."Mr. Just, this..." Iris hesitated as she accepted the medicine."They're medicine for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain," Jason explained. He turned his focus back to the road as he restarted the car.Iris was reminded of her discomfort, which made her gather her legs closer together. "Thank you," she said."Next time, ask the manager for a saddl

    Yvonne hated Stanley and had her reservations about his character, but she acknowledged that he had indeed helped Iris deal with Ted. At the very least, after Iris was assaulted, he had avenged her. "At least he's still a man. I'm telling you this in case you want to thank him in person. You don’t owe him anything beyond that," she advised Iris.Yvonne had no interest in helping them reconcile. While she fooled around a lot, she could do so because she was single. She had strong views on fidelity. Marriage, to her, was about responsibility – toward oneself, one's partner, one's family, and, if children were involved, them as well. Infidelity would undermine all of that. If you cheat on your partner after marriage, what's the point of getting married? You might as well remain single. No one would get hurt then.Iris understood. She asked with a smile, "Since when did you and Henry become so close?"Yvonne paused for a moment before flipping her hair playfully. "It can't be help

    But it wasn't a complete lie; they were going to set a trap for Ted, after all.Iris raised her glass and said, "You all know I can't handle alcohol well, so I'll just have one drink. This is to express my gratitude to all of you. I'm sure you're all aware of what Ted did to me. I couldn’t do anything to him. While your method may not have been entirely ethical, it's not like you accused him of something he didn't do.""Bottoms up." With that, Iris lifted the glass and finished her drink in one go. The alcohol burned her throat as it went down.She loathed men who disrespect women, especially those like Ted who resorted to force.Recently, there was a case in another country where a young female doctor was raped to death by dozens of men, shocking the world.Women were always the weaker sex."Bottoms up," Lester said, similarly raising his glass.Henry nodded in agreement, but Stanley remained still. He looked at Iris and said, "Can I have a word with you?"Iris smiled, "There

    Iris settled at the empty dining table. She had a healthy appetite because she was in a good mood. She ordered a steak and a bowl of minestrone soup. She finished everything, savoring each bite. After enjoying her meal a bit too much, she felt pleasantly full.When she headed back downstairs, she encountered the pregnant woman again. The woman had chestnut-colored wavy hair, fair skin, and wore a long dress that accentuated her protruding belly. Iris noted that she looked quite young, much younger than Renee. It made her wonder if all men preferred younger women.Wendy was young too."Hi," Iris greeted with a smile.The pregnant woman looked around, puzzled. "Are you talking to me?"Iris nodded. "I'm a lawyer from the Golden Path Law Firm; my last name is Glover. If you have any property disputes in the future, feel free to come to me. I can be your lawyer."The woman sized Iris up, thinking, She seems normal enough, but her words are so strange. Is she crazy?Iris maintained he

    Concerned that Iris' words would negatively impact Stanley's image in Fiora's mind, Renee yelled angrily, "You're not fit to say that. You're just the woman my son dumped. Shame on you, you uncultured swine."Fiora glanced at Iris, muttering, "Rude," before briskly walking towards the exit.Following Fiora's lead, Renee echoed, "Rude." As she walked past Iris, she couldn't resist a parting jab, "You couldn't get pregnant even after four years of marriage. There's definitely something wrong with your body. A secondhand woman who can't even bear a child – what future do you have? You'll end up with a broke man or an ugly old man."Iris laughed, unfazed. "I may not have a child, but the Stein bloodline will definitely continue. Someone will bear a child for you."Renee was confused. "Are you stupid? Who's going to bear a child for me?" She thought Iris' words were nonsensical; she expected someone to bear a grandchild for her, not a child.Iris merely smiled, choosing silence over ex

    The fragrance in the mall was quite pleasant, helping to relax Iris' mind.She spotted the pregnant woman making her way into a Channel store. The woman appeared to be a big spender. Most women who were willing to be with old men were in it for the money. Wendy probably genuinely liked Stanley, but Iris wouldn't be surprised if part of the reason she had an affair with him was because of his wealthy background. In contrast, Fiora seemed to genuinely loved Stanley. She didn't appear to be interested in his money, but rather in him as a person.Iris turned away, heading in another direction. She planned to buy some herbal tonics for her parents. Her parents lived frugally, often reluctant to spend money on themselves. They often worked late into the night, which would surely take a toll on their health.She entered a high-end gift shop, filled with various health products. She purchased a few expensive tonics.With her purchases in hand, she passed a storefront displaying a beaut

    "I'm very willing to help," Jason added, glancing sideways at her. Iris fixed her gaze straight ahead. "I'm already immensely grateful that you would give me opportunities to gain experience as a favor for Professor Sandler. I can't keep troubling you with my private affairs."She understood the importance of boundaries. You can't keep taking advantage of someone else's goodwill. She knew when to draw the line.If Jason could hear her inner thoughts, he would definitely say, "I wish you would keep 'taking advantage' of me."He gripped the steering wheel tight. Not going overboard was supposed to be a good thing, but it wasn't in her case. He sighed softly."Mr. Just, you can just drop me off at that intersection up ahead," Iris pointed. That intersection led to a large mall. Even if Jason hadn't mentioned it, she was going to buy something. However, she had no intention of letting Jason pay for it. He was helping her, so it wouldn't be right to make him spend money.As they re

    It was so sudden. It caught Iris off guard.He said with smiling eyes, his voice low and sexy, "Your ex-husband is watching."Iris placed her hands on his chest. At such close distance, his unique scent enveloped her, stirring her senses. She moved her head to the side slightly. "H-How do you think I did today?" she asked.She was referring to her performance in court.Jason tightened his hold, leaning in close to whisper in her ear. "You did very well."The warmth of his breath on her ear and neck sent a shiver down her spine, prompting her to shift slightly. "Um, Mr. Just..."Even if they were acting, there was no need to be this intimate.The height difference made his belt buckle press against her lower abdomen. It felt uncomfortable because it was rock hard.As a mature woman who had already been through a divorce, she tried not to overthink it, but the intimacy of their position was undeniable. She didn't dare to move her lower body at all. She could only push him gen

    Iris looked back at Stanley emotionlessly.Her clean, neat, and professional attire, paired with her short hair, projected an air of coldness that made her seem unapproachable.For the first time, Stanley felt a 'distance' between them. It felt like she was very far away from him.She was like a completely different person to the Iris he knew.While her face remained the same, her entire aura had changed; she was no longer the gentle, understanding woman in his memory. Instead, she had transformed into a strikingly cold beauty."You promised me we would reconcile," he said, looking into her eyes.Iris raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips as she asked, "Did I say that?""During the break. Have you forgotten? We...""Do you have evidence?" She cut him off coolly. She was careful not to say anything that could be used against her. She had only hinted at reconciliation.Stanley's eyes narrowed. "You tricked me?"Iris' smile brightened. "You must have misunderstood

    Because Iris had experienced betrayal from a spouse herself, she could understand her client's feelings, so she spoke the words with conviction. Her client looked at her with teary eyes. She was grateful to Iris for voicing her inner thoughts."Thank you, Ms. Glover, for saying what I want to say."Meanwhile, Stanley's expression grew stiff. He felt like Iris was talking about him. He was ashamed of what he did with Wendy, feeling for the first time that he might have gone too far.The ball-less man's face twisted with frustration. It seemed like the more they argued, the less he sounded like a human.His terrible behavior towards the end of the trial directly impacted the judge's perception of him, leading to a more favorable outcome for Iris' client.Iris' client still had to go to prison; after all, she had indeed committed a crime. However, the sentence was only six months. Given the circumstances, it could already be considered quite lenient.She was also required to c

    Iris' client glared at her fuming husband. "You cheated on me, so you're not innocent either!""Stop pointing at my client. This is a courtroom. Do you always lose your temper this easily?" Iris said, nudging her client lightly as she spoke.The client was confused at first, but quickly understood Iris' intent. "You always yell at me at home, but we're not at home anymore. How can you act this way in court too? Do you have no respect for the judge?"The ball-less man was bewildered. "You... you..." His anger flared. "Did your lawyer tell you to say that?""How would she know that you would lose your temper in court? Could she foresee the future and tell me in advance?" the client shot back.Iris gave her a thumbs up. It was a well-spoken retort.The client smiled. She was only able to perform so admirably because she was influenced by Iris' energy."You're all in cahoots, aren't you? Including you! You're all working together to set a trap for me!" the ball-less man accused, poi

    "My client deeply regrets her actions. She's mired in self-blame," Iris continued passionately. "But my client has also developed depression due to the hurt from her husband's infidelity. Isn't that a form of trauma too? We all know that severe depression can lead to severe consequences, even suicide. In a way, my client has been hurt even more than the victim has. Your Honor, I implore you to take my client's situation into consideration."Iris' defensive tactic was to paint her client as a victim of the marriage.She concluded, "Your Honor, while the victim's trauma is physical, my client's trauma is emotional. Mental illnesses are hard to recover from. Therefore, I urge you to consider the implications this case may have for women everywhere, so that they may not fear marriage and childbirth."Her final statement resonated with the current societal landscape, where more individuals are choosing not to marry or have children. Meanwhile, divorce rates keep rising, and the populatio
