Henry replied in the group chat: [OK.]Lester chimed in: [Just the three of us?]Would there be other people?Stanley read the replies and responded with a voice message: [I'll introduce you guys to someone.]Fiora's face flushed with embarrassment.Lester seemed to have figured out what Stanley wanted to do. He sent Stanley a private message: [Are you and Miss Just getting serious?]Just last night, he looked so heartbroken, to the point of drowning his sorrows with alcohol. And now, he had already moved on and was getting serious with Fiora?Would he really not regret this later?Concerned for his friend, Lester warned him: [Miss Just's feelings for you run deep. Once you've accepted her, it'll be hard to break it off. Are you sure about this?]Stanley turned to Fiora and said, "I want more soup."She immediately went to get more from the kitchen.Quietly, Stanley replied to Lester with a voice message: [Why would I want to break it off?]Lester was speechless. [Fine, f

Cassie pushed open the car door and stepped out with her head held high, exuding confidence that suggested she was ready to confront anyone.Iris followed her out, and Dennis remarked, "I hope your mother can tone it down a bit."Iris smiled knowingly. "You've been with her for half your life; don’t you understand her temperament yet?""Your mother's not a bad person, but...""There you are!" Before he could finish, Mrs. Linderhof, who lived next door to Iris' aunt, greeted them with a bright smile. "Long time no see!" Dennis greeted her."Is this your daughter? She’s getting more and more beautiful! She looks like a celebrity!"Dennis returned her smile, while Iris offered a polite one in response."Let’s go in," she suggested."Sure," Dennis agreed and gestured for his family to follow.Inside, the venue was bustling with people, adorned with festive lights and decorations. A stage had been set up at the entrance due to the limited space. A band was playing lively music.

Kendra ran into Stanley and Renee? Cassie couldn't believe her luck.Turning to Iris, Kendra pressed, "Iris, is it true?"Panic washed over Cassie. Just moments ago, people had looked up to her, but now the tables had turned, making her a subject of ridicule. The blow was too much for her to handle; her body swayed unsteadily.Dennis quickly stepped in to support her. Cassie pushed his hand away and tried to argue, "You heard wrong. Iris couldn't possibly be divorced...""I have photo evidence," Kendra rebutted, pulling out her phone to show Cassie a picture of Fiora walking arm in arm with Stanley. "Why would I lie, Cassie? I’m only doing this for Iris' sake. If she’s divorced, she’s divorced. Why do you feel the need to hide it? If you come clean, I can help you figure something out."Cassie glanced at the photo, her heart sinking as she recognized Stanley with another girl. She had seen that girl before – she caught her and Stanley kissing in public.Cassie's chest rose and fe

Kendra showed Iris the photo too. "Look at that woman. Look how eager she is."Iris lowered her gaze.It was a picture of Fiora caring for Stanley in the hospital after his accident, which Kendra managed to capture.Iris was aware of it, so it didn’t surprise her. Instead, a hint of disdain and sadness crossed her face.Vince glanced at the photo and couldn't help but comment, "He has no shame.""Yes, he does have no shame," Kendra agreed. "And the same goes for that woman. I bet she already started seeing Stanley before the divorce. Women these days have no morals – they just throw themselves at any man." She sounded serious when she said that."But she is pretty. Stanley is such a lucky bastard..." she continued."Mom, go talk to other people too. There are a lot of guests to entertain," he said, gently pushing Kendra away to curb her incessant chatter. He then turned back to Iris, winked, and said, "Don’t mind her."The younger generation actually got along fine; it was th

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!Fireworks erupted into the sky with a deafening roar, filling the air with the sound of celebrations. Since the fireworks were set off during the day, their impact was more about sound than sight.The bride walked in, performed the wedding ceremony, distributed candy, and completed the necessary rituals before the wedding banquet commenced. The lively celebration continued until after three in the afternoon. Many guests started to leave after their meals. Only close relatives remained, invited by Kendra to enjoy a final dinner.Though reluctant, Cassie stayed behind. The large table was crowded with uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces, and the newlyweds, along with Iris' family."It's rare for our entire family to gather like this. It’s a pity Soren isn’t here," Kendra remarked. Soren, the youngest son of Iris' maternal uncle, was away studying at a university. He had two older sisters, one older than Iris and the other younger. The eldest sister was married with

Iris was not looking too happy either.She was actually the one who was the most upset.The whole afternoon, everyone had discussed her marriage and criticized her ex-husband, while she could only remain silent because there was nothing to argue. Her husband had indeed cheated on her.She was indeed divorced.It was embarrassing.Cassie gasped.Caught up in her own emotions, she had failed to notice her daughter’s suffering."Iris...""I'm fine, Mom. You and Dad should take a nap; you've had a long day, and it’ll take a while to get home," Iris assured her."Oh, okay," Cassie replied, no longer daring to complain. She turned back to Dennis guiltily.Dennis shook his head, signaling her to hold her tongue. Cassie didn’t dare to upset Iris further.…When they arrived, Iris parked the car to let her parents off. Dennis waited for Cassie to exit the car before turning to his daughter. "Don’t take their words to heart."Iris gave him a faint smile. "I know.""Dennis,

Lester stared at Iris in disbelief. Iris looked up, and her eyes met Stanley's furious gaze. He was staring at her like a predator staring at a prey, ready to pounce at any moment.Iris looked behind him and spotted Henry there too. Were they here for dinner?It wasn't unusual to see the three of them together, so Iris wasn’t surprised.Lester stole a peek at Stanley.Stanley's face was tense, clearly on the verge of exploding!Iris withdrew her gaze from them. She remained calm and composed, as if she didn't notice anything.With a smile at Lester and Henry, she said, "I have to go. Bye."No one replied.Henry and Lester could both feel the chill emanating from Stanley.After a moment, Henry finally said, "Okay, see you around."Jason moved a little closer to Iris, his sharp eyes casually glancing past Stanley. This provoked Stanley; his hands clenched into fists, veins standing out on the back of his hands."Um, did you drive here?" Lester asked Iris, attempting to eas

The press of Jason's lips against hers sent a jolt through Iris. The soft and gentle touch felt electric, freezing her in place. Her eyes widened and her pupils trembled. Everything around her stood still in that moment. The smell of alcohol mixed with Jason's scent enveloped her.Her heart raced – pounding so fiercely it felt like it would leap from her chest!The suddenness of the kiss left her mind blank, and it took her a moment to react.When she finally came to her senses, she quickly pulled her head back to break free from his hold, but the force caused her head to hit the door frame, prompting a sharp cry of pain from her.Holding the back of her head, she winced, her face scrunching in discomfort."M-Mr. Just..."Did he even realize what he had done?"Hmm?" Jason's eyes were hazy, as though he were unaware of his own actions.Iris' thoughts were a whirlwind. It all felt like a dream. Yet the pain in her head reminded her it was all too real – Jason had indeed kissed

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
