Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 164
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

Moreover, because Iris had braked so suddenly, the car behind her rear-ended her instead. The impact pushed her car forward a few meters. A male driver emerged from the car behind her, approaching her while grumbling angrily. When he saw that she was a woman, his anger subsided a little.Male drivers have always discriminated against female drivers, believing in the common stereotype that women are bad drivers because they have slow reactions."Can't you drive properly?" he questioned, his tone not particularly harsh.Iris quickly exited her car to apologize. "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." She acknowledged her fault; stopping abruptly like that was indeed dangerous.The male driver inspected the damage. His car's front bumper and hood were dented, while Iris' car had a slight dent in the rear and some scraped paint."Let's claim insurance," she suggested.He nodded, taking photos and making a phone call. Iris sighed, running a hand through her hair. She felt guilty for her ca

Iris recalled Yvonne mentioning that Jason's background was extraordinary, but she had never been particularly interested. Even now, she remained indifferent; it was none of her business. Perhaps he simply preferred to keep his identity a secret to avoid scrutiny and gossip.Iris opened the car door and got inside the Maybach. She marveled at the luxurious interior, which was renowned for its beauty. She had never driven such a high-end vehicle before, and it felt different from any car she had ever been in. She felt a bit uneasy. Her mind was not in a good condition today, so she worried about potentially damaging it."Um, Mr. Just, should we just call for a buddy driver?" she suggested hesitantly."Step on the brake," Jason instructed, reaching over to press the start button. "Just drive it like it's your own car."Iris held the steering wheel. Jason reached over and told her, "This is the paddle shifter..."Iris was just about to ask him about the paddle shifter, so their h

Iris was speechless.How could someone just approach and ask for her age like that? A woman's age was supposed to be her biggest secret. But she had to admit that at 21, Brad was really young.With a hint of humor, she replied, "I'm a lot older than you.""Well then, please take care of me," Brad said casually. He continued, "I'm the youngest intern in the law firm. When I came here, my older sister told me to get along well with everyone. Can you tell me more about the firm?"Brad's friendliness made it hard for Iris to refuse.Because it was lunch break, they settled in the lounge area outside the pantry, sipping coffee and talking about various aspects of the law firm.Despite being a recent graduate, Brad was talkative, cheerful, and articulate, and he was also a fellow intern, so Iris found it easy to engage with him."You went to the National University of Law too?! Should I address you as my senior?" he joked.Iris smiled. "You can call me whatever you feel comfortable

Upon reading the last sentence, Iris was so scared that the letter slipped from her fingers.He's crazy!He was already going to prison, but he still wished to bother her after he came out?The thought of it gave her goosebumps. It was terrifying.A shiver ran down her spine. Rubbing her arms for comfort, she bent down to retrieve the letter and, without a second thought, crumpled it into a ball and tossed it into the trash can.She hoped that by the time Ted was released, he would have come to his senses. To her, a healthy love was about acceptance; possession was a toxic love. It was clear that Ted's feelings fell into the latter category.Suddenly, Jason opened the office door. "Miss... What's wrong? Are you okay?"He did not finish what he initially wanted to say because he had noticed Iris' pale face. Her shocked expression suggested she had just seen something terrible."Huh?" Iris quickly nodded her head. "Oh, yeah, yeah, I just..."She rubbed her cheeks vigorously, try

The female owner had excellent taste, as reflected in the pastry shop's exquisite packaging. Iris stood in front of the counter. When she spotted the chestnut cake she hadn't had in ages, she felt a wave of nostalgia wash over her. The cake looked really tempting."What would you like?" the male owner asked as he approached her.Iris smiled and said, "Some chestnut cake, please.""Oh, aren't you...?" The male owner recognized her but struggled to recall her name."Iris," she reminded him with a friendly smile."Yes, yes, yes! You used to come here very often. I haven't seen you much since you graduated," he said warmly. "What brings you here today?""Well, I was craving the taste of your chestnut cake," she said, her smile widening.The male owner then introduced her to a few new pastries, "These two are newly developed flavors; they taste really good. Would you like to try them?""Sure," she replied. He offered her a taste, and she found them delicious.She decided to buy a

It was Mr. Gafford, a lawyer at the firm. There was someone with him, presumably a client.Mr. Gafford immediately noticed Iris' flustered demeanor.'Why is she so flustered?' he thought. Then, he recalled the rumors circulating within the firm about Iris' relationship with Jason. A spark of curiosity ignited in his eyes.Could the rumors be true?"What's wrong, Miss Glover?" Mr. Gafford asked probingly.Iris quickly adjusted her expression, trying to appear composed.Jason, in his usual cold and indifferent demeanor, asked, "How can I help you, Mr. Gafford?"Mr. Gafford turned to Jason. Upon seeing his icy expression, the gossip fire in his eyes was instantly doused."I have something to discuss with you," he quickly explained."Come in, then," Jason instructed, walking over to the couch and taking a seat. He cast a fleeting glance at Mr. Gafford, a look that seemed to exert an invisible pressure. His mere presence felt oppressive, like a mountain quietly asserting its domina

"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
