"Can you stop calling me that?" Jason said. He did not like her formal attitude with him. "It feels as if I'm just your boss...""But you are my boss," Iris replied, puzzled by his discomfort. She felt the way she addressed him was perfectly fine.Jason fell silent."You can think of me as a friend too," he added, indicating that she did not have to be so formal with him.Iris blinked a few times in confusion. He didn't drink any alcohol today. What's up with him?She believed there was nothing wrong with the way she addressed him. Even if he was her friend, Jason was someone she admired, so she should show him proper respect.…After returning home, Iris lay on her bed, her mind preoccupied with the case. Based on what's written on the case file, she was unable to formulate a better solution.Her phone buzzed. Yvonne sent her a picture of a muscular man.Yvonne also texted: [You missed out! Today’s guys are exceptionally good-looking!]Smiling, Iris replied: [Take it easy]

The employers were dismissed without severance pay, and there was nothing they could do about it.Brad leaned in closer to Iris and whispered, "I heard that not a single male employee refused to go – they all fell for it."Iris was speechless."Hah, it's so funny!" Brad laughed, clutching his stomach. "What a devious plan."Iris had to admit that some lawyers were very shrewd."People say that lawyers walk a fine line between good and evil. There's some truth to that. But I heard that Mr. Just is even more impressive. When he helped someone evade financial investigation, the authorities could find nothing." Brad's bright, star-like eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Is that true?"While Iris had never heard about it, she knew Jason had definitely done it before.Jason was dubbed the strongest lawyer on Earth. Helping his client escape conviction often required unconventional, and sometimes unscrupulous, means.However, her time spent with Jason convinced her he could differentiate

He's a fresh graduate, yet he drove a Bugatti? His family must be seriously loaded!"Get in," Brad said, opening the car door and ushering Iris inside."Are you taking me for a ride?" Iris asked."Yeah," he answered casually.Since it was just a joyride, she didn’t refuse and settled into the car. She was not used to the seat. It was incredibly comfortable, but it was so low that it almost felt like she was sitting on the ground.Brad put on a pair of sunglasses and pressed the start button. The engine roared to life. The exhilarating sound stirred her adrenaline, awakening a desire for speed. This must be why guys love sports cars – the rush, the sense of freedom, the thrill!Iris turned to look at Brad. He had a clean-cut face and sharp features. He wore a casual white jacket over a black round-neck sweater. He radiated a youthful, carefree energy.He's really young. Youth is such a wonderful thing.Iris could barely remember what it felt like to be that young anymore.V

Someone with a powerful family like Brad could get into Golden Path even without an outstanding education. He might not even be there to work, but just to gain experience in life. What the lower class struggled to attain, the upper class could access with ease, often without meeting the requirements. The requirements were only there for the lower class.Iris could only sigh and laugh wryly. Who said everyone is equal?As she stood in the glass elevator, a twinge of fear crept in with each ascent. The higher they went, the more terrifying it became. They were so high up. She felt like she was stepping on thin air. The elevator had a view similar to a glass skywalk, but even more exhilarating. The elevator had a warning sign that forbade those with acrophobia or heart conditions from riding it.Iris tightened her grip on the handrail.Noticing her apprehension, Brad couldn’t help but laugh. "You’re so timid, Iris."The cinema was on the 101st floor. By the time they reached

Fiora wanted to gloss over the situation, but Stanley had no intention of letting up.He looked at Brad before moving his eyes back to Iris, his gaze intense. "What’s the matter? Feeling guilty? Or are you ashamed?""Stanley," Fiora said. She did not understand why Stanley was doing this.Iris didn't approach them to engage in conversation. Couldn't he just pretend he hadn't seen her? Why did he have to talk to her?She bit her lip, tears welling in her eyes. Why did he have to get tangled up with his ex-wife again? Couldn’t he be more considerate of her feelings?Ignoring Stanley completely, Iris turned to Brad. "What are you waiting for? Open the door.""Oh. Okay," he replied, taking a look at Stanley before opening the door.Iris walked in briskly, never looking back at Stanley, treating him as if he were a total stranger.Brad closed the door behind them."Is that man your ex-husband, Iris?" Brad asked, his curiosity finally getting the better of him.He didn't dare to as

Fiora looked up at him. "Your body smells really good."Stanley frowned. "Are you a pervert?"Fiora playfully punched his chest with her tiny fist, saying coquettishly, "It's because I like you."...Ding dong...The elevator came to a stop.Stanley pushed Fiora away and stepped out.Fiora stomped her foot in frustration. But as she looked down at the height below, her face paled, and she walked out in a hurry.In truth, she was genuinely scared. Being 2600 ft. above the ground was intimidating.Stanley took a window seat. He scanned the area for Iris but did not see her. His expression darkened.Fiora sat across from him. She complained, ignoring his foul mood, "You could have waited for me."Losing patience with her, Stanley massaged the top of his nose bridge. "Do you want to eat or not? If not, then let's leave.""I want to eat." Fiora bit her lip. "What do you want to eat...""Anything."He interrupted her before she could finish, clearly annoyed.Fiora held back te

Iris' mocking gaze bruised Stanley's ego."How dare you look at me like that?!" His words dripped with anger, each one aimed like a burning bomb at Iris."Now that you have a man backing you up, you think you can look down on me?" He suddenly grabbed her chin. "Have you forgotten how you used to be madly in love with me, how much you loved having sex with me? And now you give me the cold shoulder?"Iris clenched her hand into a fist and pushed his hand away, inadvertently striking his injured arm.Although the cast had been removed, his arm was not fully healed yet and was still wrapped in bandages. He had taken off the cast early because it was uncomfortable and inconvenient.He winced in pain from the blow.Furious, Iris slapped him across the face. "Can you be any more disgusting?"She slapped him so hard that her palm was numb; she shook it at her side.Stanley was stunned. Then, he glared at her, rage boiling in his bloodshot eyes.A man's face represented his dignity!I

Fiora glared at Iris with malice in her eyes.She wished she could kill Iris! Iris raised her eyebrows, finding it amusing that Fiora would turn on her own kind over a scumbag."Step aside," Iris said coldly.Fiora clenched her hands into fists. "You're gonna pay for this!""Quite the temper you have there, Miss Just," Brad commented as he walked over and pushed Fiora aside.Fiora frowned, indignant. "This has nothing to do with you! Mind your own business!""It has nothing to do with you either," Brad sneered. "You should mind your own business too.""This bitch is shamelessly seducing my man. Of course it has something to do with me," Fiora shot back, her tone filled with venom. "You'd better watch out, Brad Vassell. Even your father has to show my brother some respect. Crossing me won't end well for you."Her words carried a threatening undertone, but Brad was unfazed. He always made his father mad anyway.Who does she think she is?Just because she had money and power,

Iris' heart tightened, feeling both sweet and bitter, "I did it willingly. You were only in danger because you tried to help me. You went to great lengths to help me save my cousin. I'm immensely grateful."She paused, then slowly raised her head to look at him, "I can't let you die because of me. If someone has to die, I'd rather it be me, not you.""Why can't it be me?" His tone was light, but there was a subtle hint of excitement in his voice.She must loved him very much to have the courage to rush in front of him in the face of danger.Death, what a fearful word.Yet she shielded him from the gun with no hesitation."You were there to help me save someone. Therefore, you can't die," Iris answered.That was what she genuinely thought at the time.In the quiet room, the sounds of their breathing could be clearly heard. Jason gazed at her, his eyes filled with a complex emotion, "You rushed over to shield me from that gun because I helped you save your cousin? It's because yo

She asked in panic, "Who is it?""It's me."It was Jason's voice. She breathed a sigh of relief.People always felt the most insecure when they're naked."You're done eating already?"Jason wasn't very hungry because he just woke up, so he only had a bowl of soup. That's why he came back up so quickly."Yeah. What are you doing? The doctor said your wound shouldn't get wet.""I'll be careful." Iris said.Jason frowned. "Are you taking a shower?""...Yeah," Iris answered softly."I'll wash you." Jason tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.He raised his eyebrows. "Iris...""I can wash myself." Iris hugged herself, thinking, how embarrassing would it be if he washed her?She didn't want that.Although they had already seen each other naked, her current appearance was not pleasing, and there was a gruesome wound on her body.She didn't want him to see her in this ugly state.Yes, he had already seen her ugly side, but... she couldn't just not care.She

Perhaps the sensation was a bit itchy, as Jason stirred. Iris quickly withdrew her hand, but Jason had already woken up."What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?" Having just woken up, his voice was hoarse.Iris shook her head, "I'm fine."She felt bad. "I'm sorry I woke you up. Go back to sleep."Jason raised his head and said, "Give me your arm."She smiled and extended her arm. Jason laid his head on her arm and said, "Hug me."Iris thought he was childish.She gently patted his back like she was soothing a child.Jason closed his eyes. Smelling her scent, he soon fell asleep again. He slept for a long time, only waking up at night.Iris had also fallen asleep, but she woke up a lot earlier due to hunger. However, seeing Jason sleeping soundly, she didn't want to disturb him. Her arm was numb but she didn't dare to pull it out, afraid of waking him up."Are you awake?" Iris asked.Jason looked at her groggily, reached for his phone, and saw that it was already past two in the

Since they would be staying here for a while, someone had to handle the household chores.It was clear that neither of them nor the two bodyguards were up for the task.Donahue had always been the one responsible for hiring cleaners to clean the place, so Jason asked Lewis to contact Donahue and inquire about the cleaning staff he usually hired.Lewis immediately made the call. Donahue said he usually hired temporary housekeepers who would clean and then leave. He provided Lewis with a contact to arrange for their services.Lewis personally selected two middle-aged women. The manager said they were very experienced and proficient in cooking and household chores.He brought the two housekeepers back to the island and settled them in. After that, Lewis went upstairs to inform Jason that the housekeepers had started work and dinner was taken care of.Jason's bedroom door was slightly ajar. From the gap, Lewis saw Jason sitting on the bed talking to Iris. It didn't seem like a good

Jason's condition was that Kaden must ensure he and his people left the country safely.After discussions with the other two families, Kaden agreed to Jason's condition. With the three families working together, it wouldn't be hard to ensure the safe departure of Jason and his people.Holding Luna hostage gave them leverage over the Morris family. This deal was mutually beneficial. Jason made the deal to allow Iris to leave the country as soon as possible. After agreeing on a departure time, he left the rest to Kaden and Lewis to figure out.Jason stayed by Iris' side.Two days later, they boarded a plane to Fiji. The earliest direct flight home from Northern Burrma was the day after tomorrow, but staying in that country for another day meant another day of danger, so Jason and Iris decided to go to Fiji first. She would recover from her injury there.Iris didn't want her parents to worry, so she thought it would be a good idea to stay in Fiji for a while. She needed time to rec

When he withdrew his hand from under her, it was stained with blood.Anxious and flustered, his heart felt like it had stopped beating."Iris..." His voice was hoarse and unsteady.Iris' wound was not life-threatening. The bullet had hit her lower back.Luna did not intend to kill Iris. She just wanted to keep Iris from escaping.Iris could feel the pain now. Her body trembled uncontrollably. She felt incredibly cold despite the warm weather."I... I'm fine..." she spoke weakly, her pale lips quivering.Jason held her hand tightly, "Don't worry, Lewis will be here with a doctor soon.""Are you... okay?" she asked hoarsely."I'm fine," Jason assured her.Iris' tense heart finally relaxed a little.She had never experienced such a nerve-racking ordeal before.It all felt like a dream.Scenarios seen only on TV had become reality. She was scared out of her wits earlier, but she tried to put on a brave face. She didn't want to be a burden to them.But in the end, as a powerle

When Iris looked up, she saw Luna standing behind Jason with a gun aimed at him.Her eyes widened, pupils shaking."Look out!"She rushed forward.Luna could have pulled the trigger as she had a clear shot at Jason, but when Iris shouted that warning, she saw through Iris' intention.In that split second when Jason turned with the gun, Iris hugged him and shielded him from Luna's gun.Luna's father had told her that Jason was off-limits. Harming him could lead to endless complications and may even result in the eradication of the Morris family!However, according to their investigation, Iris had no background, so they could use whatever means necessary to capture her. Even if she got injured, it didn't matter. Therefore, the instant Iris shielded Jason from the gun, Luna aimed at her back and fired a shot.At the moment of being hit, Iris felt no pain. Her whole body was paralyzed, unable to move.She slumped in Jason's arms.Jason held her falling body. "Iris!"He fiercely

"Let go!" Frustrated that she missed him with her attack, Luna grabbed a chair leg and swung it at Jason.Jason caught the chair leg and disarmed her, then flung her away with his other hand.Luna staggered several steps back and her waist hit a sharp object. She grimaced in pain.Blood seeped through her thin outer garment.Enraged, she exclaimed, "Catch Jason Just's woman! A reward of ten thousand for whoever catches that woman!"Her men, who were starting to be suppressed, began to fiercely resist again, reigniting the intense conflict!Gunfire rang out. The sound of objects being pierced mixed with screams created a battlefield-like atmosphere!Lewis rushed out of the hotel with Iris and headed for the car. Jason followed closely behind them after getting rid of Luna.However, due to Luna's words, her men rushed at them desperately.These people were desperados. They weren't afraid to die for money.The fight for profit among the families had always been fierce!Kaden's

"The back door is blocked," Lewis informed Jason. He was outnumbered. Facing the rain of bullets outside, he couldn't break through.Although Luna was a woman, she had years of experience. She wasn't a fool. She had already stationed guards at the back door.Holding a machine gun, she said, "If you surrender, I might let you live!"Jason and Iris were trapped in a hallway, with no way out!Clearly, it would be difficult to escape from the back door. Kaden's men were at the front entrance, so if they rushed out from the front, there might be a chance to escape amidst the chaos.Jason instructed Lewis to protect Iris. Seizing the opportunity, he fired several shots at Luna.Luna had to dodge."I'll draw their attention. Lewis, when you see the chance, escape with Iris," Jason said."Got it!" Lewis responded.He still had to be wary of the shots coming from the back.It was actually very difficult to rush out.Two bodyguards suddenly rushed in, attracting the fire of Luna and h
