"Mom, that's enough. I'm a patient. I need to rest. I don't want to hear about children anymore. I'm the one who doesn't want children yet," Stanley replied.Iris had expressed her desire to have children quite a few times, but he thought they were still young, so there was no rush. He now realized that his mother might have been pressuring Iris."Hmph, you always defend her. She'll take advantage of you. I don't even understand what you see in her. She comes from a very ordinary family; both her parents are working-class. Yes, she has a good education, but what can she actually offer you? Beyond doing laundry and cooking, what else is she good for? She can't even give you a child. Before you got married, the young woman from the Just family expressed interest in you, and they even sent a matchmaker. If you had married her, you would be part of the capital's high society right now," Renee complained."The Just family is incredibly wealthy, their business reaching across the globe.

"Shut up." Stanley couldn't bear to hear Iris' name at the moment. He was in a bad mood.He had a nagging feeling that Iris might be serious this time.Picking up on his unease, Lester suggested, "Maybe Iris is just acting intimate with Ted to make you mad.""You think so?" It did not look like that to Stanley.Henry chimed in, "Ted said he's liked Iris longer than you have, but you dated her for three years and were married for four, so you were together for seven years. Could Ted really have liked her secretly for eight years? I find that hard to believe. Can a person really hold onto feelings for that long without wavering?"Yes, he was trying to comfort Stanley, but it was also true that he found it hard to believe. Henry thought that kind of devotion was unrealistic. After all, there's no true love in this world. Iris was undeniably beautiful, but surely that was not enough to keep someone secretly in love with her for eight years?Stanley's thoughts were in turmoil. "You

Iris replied, "I'm busy right now. I'll go home in a few days and tell you all about it...""In a few days? Are you crazy? Come home immediately!" Cassie's voice grew sharper.Iris realized that Stanley must have complained to her mother, and she couldn't help but scoff.They were already divorced, yet he had the audacity to complain to his former mother-in-law. He had no shame.Without further discussion, she hung up. She was determined to deal with the case first no matter what.To avoid any more distractions, she temporarily blocked her family's phone numbers. In order to not be found, she decided to stay in the Cloud District until the trial. She didn't have any clothes to change into, so she bought new ones.Seven days later, the client appeared in court, with Iris serving as his defense attorney. As she expected, there were flaws in the evidence against her client. The woman had also hired a lawyer and pleaded not guilty.This was a favorable situation for them, and Iris

Cassie instantly moved to the seat next to Iris and held her daughter's hand. "Iris, it's not that I want to be mad at you, but you can't be so willful. Your father and I are just ordinary people, but after you married Stanley, we're able to live in such a nice house. He's injured now, but you're not there for him; you're failing as a wife right now.""What else did he say?" Iris inquired."He said you're upset with him and asked us to talk to you. Iris, isn't this enough? He already apologized to us. You should go back to him," Cassie persuaded.Iris scoffed, looking at her mother. "Mom, Stanley and I are divorced. The divorce papers are already finalized. Why should I go back?"Cassie was taken aback, and Dennis stared at his daughter in disbelief. "D-Divorced?""Iris, what in the world happened?" Cassie asked."He cheated on me, so we divorced." Iris produced the divorce certificate, ready to confront her parents.Cassie grabbed the certificate and inspected it. It was indeed

Dennis attempted to comfort his wife, saying, "As long as we have enough money to support ourselves, we'll be fine. Let's just live our lives without worrying about what other people think."Cassie retorted, "It's that mindset that's kept you from achieving anything in life. If you had money and influence, would people have looked down on me?"Her words instantly silenced him.Wiping her tears away, Cassie turned to Iris with determined eyes. "Go and reconcile with Stanley right now."Iris pursed her lips, remaining silent."Say something!" Cassie pushed her hard, causing her to stagger and bump against the table.Dennis signaled to his daughter with his eyes as he said, "You should leave first; don't argue with your mom right now."Iris gave her father a glance, took the divorce certificate, returned it to her bag, and walked out the door.Behind her, Cassie's voice rang out, "I don't care if you have to cry or beg; you must reconcile with Stanley!"Tears unexpectedly streame

Stanley preferred the old Iris – the Iris who loved him, obeyed him, and prioritized him above all else.Iris scoffed. "Then what kind of tone should I use?"Stanley stood up and approached her slowly, step by step. Iris retreated cautiously until her back was against the wall. She tried to escape to the side, but he blocked her with outstretched arms. "This room is so small. Where can you run to?"Trapped, Iris faced him defiantly. "Why are you saying these things to me, Stanley? Don't tell me you still like me? Even if you do, I'm sorry, I'll never like you or love you again..."Stanley grabbed her chin. "When did your tongue become so sharp, Iris?"Iris forcefully pulled his hand away, losing control as she screamed, "Don't touch me!"Stanley was taken aback, not expecting such a strong reaction. "Bleurgh..."Iris rushed into the bathroom, leaning over the sink to throw up.Ever since she heard that Stanley had slept with Wendy, she had developed a physical repulsion to hi

"Yeah," Jason replied lightly, his gaze lingering on her face before asking, "Which building do you live in?"Iris pointed to the highrise on her right. "Unit 2 in Building 1, a single apartment.""I live across from you," he said.Iris glanced at the opposite building, recalling that her landlord had mentioned it during her rental process. The opposite building wasn't an apartment building."Well, I'll see you tomorrow," she said, eager to escape. She felt embarrassed getting caught crying at her age."Okay," Jason replied.She quickly walked into the building. As he watched her running away from him, a smile appeared on his face.Iris opted to skip the elevator, climbing the stairs to the sixth floor instead. Panting, she opened the door and set her things on the table. After pouring herself a glass of water and drinking it, she reflected on her earlier awkwardness. Why should she feel embarrassed? Everyone has moments of weakness; she's human, not a god. It's perfectly

Iris picked up her cutlery and looked at her mother. "You should eat too, Mom." Had her mother finally seen the light? Iris wondered. Her mother's attitude was surprisingly good.Iris quietly let out a sigh of relief.She continued, "Don't you worry, Mom. I'll work hard to support you and Dad from now on. I can't promise that I'll definitely be rich, but we definitely won't have to worry about surviving...""Eat first, Iris," Cassie replied with a smile.Iris nodded and ate her stew. After finishing their meal, the two women exited the restaurant.Suddenly, Cassie grabbed Iris' hand, tears streaming down her face.Iris was taken aback. Just moments ago, everything seemed fine. "Mom, what's wrong?""Iris, please, go apologize to Stanley. Do it for me." Cassie had gone to see Stanley earlier today to apologize on her daughter's behalf, but her son-in-law, who had always treated her politely, refused to see her. She was driven away by security.She tripped on the stairs at t

"Okay. Good night, Mr. Just," Iris said."See you tomorrow," he said."See you tomorrow."…Iris was jolted awake the next morning by her phone ringing. Groggy, she reached for it. "Hello...""My husband changed his mind. He refuses to settle or drop the case now."The client's voice sounded anxious.Iris was instantly wide awake.Why would he change his mind overnight? She was going to handle all the procedures today to avoid further complications too."What happened?" Iris sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Take your time and explain in detail.""I don't know either. He just messaged me saying he regrets signing the settlement agreement and he won't drop the case. But he already signed the agreement. He can't change his mind anymore, right?" The client still held a glimmer of hope.Iris replied, "He can still change his mind."Under normal circumstances, changing one's mind after signing would be difficult. However, since she had half-tricked him into signing the agreement, if

Iris nodded helplessly. "You shouldn't have answered the phone." She felt a headache coming.She wasn't blaming Jason; it's just impossible to explain to her mother now.Since Jason answered her phone this late at night, her mother naturally assumed that Jason had been with her all evening.That was indeed the case today, but it wasn't in the way her parents thought."I can go meet your parents with you," Jason offered.Iris was surprised. Huh?Does he even know what he's saying?"Do you know who my mom thinks you are?" she asked.How could he suggest that without knowing anything?"She thinks I'm your boyfriend, right?" Jason smirked mischievously. "If you don't take me to see them, they'll definitely ask you even more questions. Wouldn't that be troublesome for you?""Besides," he added, "We worked so well together earlier. We're very in sync, right?"Iris was speechless."Actually, all I have to do is explain to them...""What if they set you up on a blind date?" Jaso

After hanging up, as Jason was about to leave the car, he heard a phone ringing. He traced the sound to Iris' phone lying on the passenger seat. She had left her phone in his car.Picking it up, he noticed "Mother" displayed on the screen and smiled, recalling the enthusiastic woman he had met the other day. It seemed he had a reason to look for Iris now.He exited the car and took the elevator to the ground floor, then headed to the building across the street.While waiting for the elevator in Iris' building, Iris' phone rang again. Jason wondered if he should answer. Iris' mother was calling repeatedly in the middle of the night, so there might be an emergency. After some hesitation, he decided to answer.Before he could speak, Cassie's voice came through the line. "Iris, happy birthday! Your dad and I are so busy today that I only have time to call you now. When are you free to visit us for dinner? Call me before you come; we'll skip work that day and stay home to spend the

Stanley was furious. He felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing to his head. If he had held onto any hope before, it was gone now. He realized that Iris was genuinely leaving him and had no intention of returning to his side.No!He could not accept that!Inside the car, Iris fastened her seatbelt, unfazed by Stanley's roar. Jason glanced at her, noticing her calm demeanor, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He started the engine, and the car roared to life. He turned the steering wheel and pressed the gas pedal, and they drove away .Once they had left Riverside Pier, Iris said, "Thank you for acting with me."Jason's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Don't you think we have great chemistry?"Iris considered this for a moment. "Indeed. I always thought you were a very serious person. I didn't expect you to...""To what?" he asked, glancing at her.Iris brushed her hair. "Just now, when you called me 'babe', I got goosebumps. I can't believ

"I'll take you home," Jason offered.Iris nodded. Stanley couldn't stand it any more. Disregarding how bad it made him look, he rushed forward and grabbed Iris' wrist. "Iris..."Iris turned around, her expression cold. "Can I help you, Mr. Stein?"Her tone was icy, causing a pang in Stanley's chest. "H-happy birthday." His voice was hoarse. "Iris, I made a mistake. Let's get back together..."Jason instinctively tightened his grip on Iris' shoulder.Iris sneered, tilting her head with eyes full of coldness. "Since you wished me a happy birthday, let me make a wish: I hope you never appear before me again. I hope my wish will come true.""Iris," Stanley's voice cracked with emotion.Iris raised her eyebrows and said fiercely, "Let go of my hand!"Instead of releasing her, Stanley tightened his grip, the veins in his hand bulging.That hurt Iris' arm."Mr. Stein," Jason interjected, prying Stanley's hand away. "Stop bothering her. This is unbecoming of you.""She's my wife

On the shore, Yvonne urged Iris to leave.The other yacht was drawing closer to the dock, and if Iris lingered any longer, she would inevitably run into Stanley. It had truly been an unlucky day for Yvonne. Nothing was going smoothly. First came Jason, an unexpected guest, and now came Stanley, a harbinger of bad luck."Iris, why is the day of your birth so unlucky?" Yvonne complained. Iris looked perplexed. Right then, the other yacht docked. Henry was the first to jump off. He hurried over to Yvonne. "Hey! You're here too? Why didn’t you call me to join you? We could have come together."Yvonne glanced at the three women who followed him down from the yacht. All of them were flaunting their legs, their skirts barely covering their bottoms, and their cleavages were on full display with their low necklines. Yvonne scoffed, "Come together? That would have ruined your fun.""C'mon, I'm not serious with them," Henry replied. He approached Yvonne and reached for her sleeve. "

Actually, it wasn't that the parents absolutely couldn't afford to raise her, it was more because they wanted a son, but with the family planning policy, they couldn't afford the payment to give birth to one more child, so they left the girl to be raised by the grandparents.The little girl passed away without ever having been registered in the household registration; she was considered undocumented. Getting her registered would require money the family simply didn't have. Or, perhaps, they felt that it wasn't necessary since she was just a girl.The girl's aunt – her uncle's wife, who also lived with the girl's grandparents – was unhappy because there was suddenly an extra mouth to feed. The aunt treated the girl very poorly. According to neighbors, the girl was often beaten and denied food. The grandparents didn't dare speak up, fearing they would upset their daughter-in-law.According to the villagers, the aunt had attacked the girl that day because the girl had stolen some bread

Jason remarked, "In this world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness."He thought Iris' view was still overly idealistic. There was a large gap between the things taught in law school and the cases that happened in the real world. Sometimes, bending the rules was necessary to achieve certain objectives, not just for the sake of making things fairer. The world has never been fair, no matter in which country.Iris fell silent. She knew that the world had never truly been fair. Many individuals were constrained by circumstances from the moment they were born. Some emerged from impoverished rural areas, needing relentless perseverance to change their fates, while others were born into wealth and luxury, their starting point already an unattainable goal for many. How could this not be seen as unfair? Fairness was absent from the moment of one's birth.Yet, wasn't her initial aspiration to study law rooted in the pursuit of fairness? If not, what was the point of law?"Mr. Just,

His now wide open collar revealed his sexy, slender neck. His Adam's apple moved as he spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Are you really okay?"Iris nodded, avoiding his gaze; she didn't dare meet his eyes directly. His gaze felt too affectionate. Earlier, he mentioned that she resembled the love of his life. Maybe he saw her as a substitute for his unrequited love?Yes, it must be so; otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at her with that kind of expression.Phew~She assured herself that Jason couldn't possibly have feelings for someone like her. It was fortunate she had realized this in time, avoiding any presumptuous thoughts. She felt relieved that she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of him."Um..." Just then, Denise approached, intending to inform them that Yvonne wanted to leave. Upon reaching the sun deck, she immediately spotted Jason hugging Iris.She realized she was intruding.Quietly, she turned to leave.However, Iris had seen her. "Denise," Iris called out
