Iris responded with a soft acknowledgment as Elise left the living room. Leaning back on the couch, Iris fell into a daze, her thoughts swirling.Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a message from Jason: [When are you coming back?]She stared at the screen for a long time, contemplating her response. Finally, she typed back: [In the afternoon.]He did not reply. Scrolling through their chat, she realized they had built up quite a long conversation history."Lunch is ready," Elise announced about half an hour later when she returned to the living room.Iris got up to wash her hands.Tom had brought home a variety of braised dishes, while Kendra had prepared a few hot dishes. At the dining table, Kendra expressed her concerns and asked Iris many questions about Vince's situation. Iris assured her that he would be fine, which seemed to ease Kendra's worries.After lunch, Iris drove back to work. She parked her car and walked into the building. While she was waiting for the elevator, Ja

Iris could feel Jason's intense gaze on her, making her shift uncomfortably. She forced a smile and asked, "How can I help you?""It's another race," Brad replied. "This time it's a different track.""Is it the one you guys talked about last time, the one that's really dangerous and could be fatal?" Iris asked, concern evident in her voice.Brad shook his head. "No, it's a different one."Suddenly, Brad noticed that Iris' cheeks were flushed. "Iris, what's wrong with you? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt!"Iris did not know what to say.Jason's gaze remained on her face. "Ms. Glover, there's a case we need to handle this afternoon, remember?" he stated matter-of-factly.Iris responded with a simple, "Oh."Brad was speechless. He glared at Jason unhappily and muttered under his breath, "Merciless boss."Jason merely nodded, pretending not to hear the comment.Iris shrugged helplessly. "As you can see, I have work to do.""Just take the rest of the day off," Brad insiste

Iris looked at Brad with a critical eye. "If you're not interested in practicing law, you might want to consider changing your career."She felt that he was wasting his time at the law firm since he wasn't actually doing anything.But Brad shrugged off her comments. He was actually quite content with this arrangement. "Working" at the firm allowed him to appease his family while still enjoying his carefree lifestyle without getting nagged by his old man."I'm heading out, then," he said.He was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, casual pants, and white sneakers. He twirled his car keys nonchalantly, exuding a carefree attitude.Once in the car, he cranked up the music to the maximum volume, moving to the rhythm as he backed out of the driveway. Once outside, he hit the gas, launching into the open road.The traffic lessened when he reached the city outskirts.With the window down, the breeze tousled his short hair, and he savored the freedom of the open road. Suddenly, s

When they arrived at the hospital, Fiora stepped out of the car. Although Brad disliked Fiora, he still took off his denim jacket and tossed it to her. "Your clothes are torn."Fiora looked down. She had never looked so disheveled before. She caught the jacket and draped it over herself. "Thanks.""Don't mention it. Anyone would lend a hand in that situation, and I didn’t really do much," Brad replied nonchalantly.Fiora assessed him. Although she had always disliked him, he didn’t seem so bad today."Since I'm here, I might as well escort you inside," he said, walking towards the hospital entrance.Fiora hurried to keep pace with him. "Um, can I borrow your phone again?"Brad pulled out his phone and handed it to her.She called Samuel and told him, "I’m at the First General Hospital. Come over; I need to talk to you.""I'll be right there," Samuel responded on the other end."Also, don’t tell my brother," Fiora added firmly. She wanted to handle things on her own; if her bro

Stanley frowned, "Don't act like a spoiled brat with me. I never made any plans with you. If you claim I did, show me the evidence.""The text you sent me – does that not count as evidence? I'm not blind; I can read. I lost my phone while I was running away, so I don't have the proof with me." She reached out, "Let me see your phone."Stanley was certain he hadn't sent her any messages to meet up, so he pulled out his phone and handed it to Fiora.As she scrolled through their chat history, Fiora's frustration grew. She didn't find the message where he supposedly asked her out."You deleted it!?" Fiora exclaimed, smashing the phone against him in anger. "I won't let this matter rest!"The phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, the screen cracking upon impact.Stanley glared at her fiercely. His wrath was so fearsome that Fiora couldn't meet his gaze.Picking up the phone, Stanley shoved it back into his pocket. His eyes were cold and intimidating like the winter win

Samuel was shocked. His expression turned serious. "Understood. I'll look into it immediately."Fiora looked him in the eye, her gaze conveying a warning. "Don't tell my brother."Samuel lowered his gaze. "Understood.""Go. Investigate it and let me know the results as soon as possible," she instructed.Concerned, Samuel said, "But I can't leave you alone. Let me call—""No, I'm fine. If I need help, I'll hire a caregiver myself," Fiora interrupted him."Alright," he replied.He left the ward.Despite Fiora's repeated warning, Samuel called Jason as soon as he left the hospital.Jason was lounging on a couch, dressed in a loose white shirt that revealed his slender neck, defined collarbones, and muscular chest. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing his sturdy forearms.Iris was next to him, focused intently on applying medicine to the wound on his palm. The injury looked terrifying.How could he grab a blade barehanded?"Weren't you afraid back then?" she asked.Jason t

Hopefully, she would learn from her mistake."Also, when I went to see Miss Fiora earlier, I saw her arguing with Stanley Stein. They were yelling at each other. He might have something to do with the kidnapping," Samuel reported.At the mention of Stanley, Jason looked up, his gaze landing on Iris' slim back figure.Iris turned around with the water and medicine in hand."Understood. Inform me as soon as you find out," Jason instructed."I will," Samuel replied before ending the call.Jason dropped his phone and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration."What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Iris asked, handing him the pills. "Put everything aside for now and take your medicine first."Jason tilted his head back and smiled at her. "Feed me."Iris was taken aback by his playful tone. Could he be possessed?But considering that his injury was a result of saving her, she took a pill and brought it to his mouth.Jason opened his mouth, accepting the pill."Water," sh

The door swung open to reveal Iris and Jason. Yvonne scrutinized them, asking, "Why are you two here together?"While Iris was hesitating, unsure of how to explain to Yvonne in front of Jason, Professor Sandler asked, "Who is it?""Professor Sandler, it's us," Iris said, walking past Yvonne. On the way here, she and Jason had detoured to the pastry shop to buy chestnut cakes for Professor Sandler."Are the fish still alive?" she asked with a smile as she placed the pastries down.Professor Sandler's eyes brightened upon seeing Iris and Jason. "They're still alive," he answered, smiling.With her arms crossed, Yvonne's eyes went back and forth between Iris and Jason. Her experience and intuition told her that there was something fishy going on between those two.Iris' awkward reaction all but proved it. After years of friendship, Yvonne knew Iris like the back of her hand. Iris had avoided her question earlier – a clear sign of guilt.The two fish were not just alive; they look

Stanley stepped aside, allowing Iris to pass. Iris walked past him without looking at him.He stared at her back as she walked away. The familiar neighborhood reminded him of the sweet memories they once shared there. They loved each other back then.How had he lost her and ruined his own life?"Iris, I'm sorry," he murmured softly.He walked over to a flower pond and sat down by the pond, staring blankly ahead with an unfocused gaze.He had parked his car illegally, and when the traffic police called him, he ignored the call. He watched his car getting towed away without a care.He felt drained, as if life had been sucked out of him, leaving him indifferent to everything around him. He felt like a walking corpse. He had lost the woman he loved and was trapped in a marriage he despised.At the thought of Wendy, his hands clenched tight. He must find a way to end their marriage.…When Iris reached home, she immediately called the police station for updates. She was informe

Once, her eyes held only love for him; now, they reflected deep disdain. And it was all his fault. He was the one who drove her away.He slowly released her hand, and Iris walked away firmly.Stanley stood frozen. He slowly lowered his gaze, masking the regret in his eyes. Yes, he regretted it, but it was already too late. She wouldn't take him back anymore.He smiled self-deprecatingly."Stanley..." Lester, wanting to comfort him, was met with Stanley's dismissive wave.No words could console his broken heart."Let's go," Stanley said, but he couldn't stop himself from looking back.Iris had already disappeared through the door.Lester sighed. "Stanley, why did you suddenly marry Wendy? You never told us the reason.""I don't want to talk about her," Stanley said, his voice filled with resentment.He had only married Wendy because Renee forced him to. Renee used to dislike Wendy, but for some reason, she suddenly changed her mind.Renee wouldn't tell him why, but Stanle

With a frown, Yvonne came over holding the hem of the wedding dress and kicked Henry on the calf. "Didn't I tell you to sever ties with them if you want to marry me?!"Henry quickly stood up to calm her. "I'm on it, I'm on it. But just like a breakup, cutting ties takes time. Give me some time, alright?""You better be doing it," Yvonne crossed her arms, scrutinizing him."I swear, if I lie to you, I'm a dog," Henry said, raising his palm.Iris stood up. "Stop arguing. I'm leaving." She indeed wanted to avoid running into Stanley.Yvonne nodded. "Go ahead."Feeling embarrassed, Henry added, "I'm sorry, Iris. I'll buy you dinner to make up for this.""No, it's okay, it's no big deal," Iris said, unbothered. After all, Henry was kind enough to notify her in advance."Take your time choosing," Iris told Yvonne before picking up her bag and heading downstairs.The spiral staircase required her to hold onto the railing.Unfortunately, while she was descending the stairs, Lester an

When she opened the door, she found Brad still outside. His dull eyes lit up the moment he saw her."Iris, I know you wouldn't be so cruel to me. You're not gonna let me freeze in the cold wind, right? I know you still care about me..."Iris cut him short, "You misunderstood. I came out to pick up a delivery." She then closed the door behind her and headed to the community gate.Brad felt the sting of her rejection again.When she was almost at the gate, a voice called out from behind her, "Excuse me, please wait."Iris turned back."Why are you so ruthless to Master Brad?" an elderly servant from the Vassell family confronted her. The servant watched Brad grow up and had never seen Brad being treated like this. "You should thank your lucky star that he likes you. Don't you think you're being ungrateful hurting him like this?"Raising her eyebrows, Iris retorted, "Why don't you marry him instead?"The servant blushed. "You...""What?" Iris couldn't believe a servant would ta

Iris replied, "It's my house, I can change the passcode whenever I want. I don't need your permission."Brad had no retort."Why are you here instead of recovering in the hospital?" Iris asked. "Is your leg not hurting anymore?"Brad felt aggrieved. "I came to see you because you didn't go to see me, and yet you're yelling at me."Feigning a cold attitude, Iris said, "Do I have to visit you everyday? I'm just your superior. I've already shown the necessary courtesy by visiting you the other day. You shouldn't expect more than that."Brad stared at her in disbelief, his pupils shaking. He couldn't believe how coldly Iris was treating him. It pained him."Iris..." His eyes glistened with unshed tears. "Why are you being so mean to me?"Turning away to avoid his hurt expression, Iris said, "Go back to the hospital. I have a court appearance tomorrow, so I need a good night's rest."As she opened the door to enter her house, Brad called out, "Iris, I came out of the hospital just t

Iris shook her head, "I took a cab.""Oh, then you can drink. But I know you can't handle alcohol, so don't drink too much," Vince said, pouring her half a glass of wine. Iris clinked glasses with him. "Enjoy the meal. I hope you like the food," Vince said.Iris laughed, "Congratulations again on your first child.""By the way, I have something to ask you. Rachel wants to go abroad; apparently her friend has a company there and offered her a high-paying job. But I'm worried she might get scammed. You're a lawyer with broad experience, do you think it's safe?" Vince asked, pulling up a chair next to her.Iris had indeed dealt with similar cases before. "Which country is Rachel's friend's company based in?" she inquired."Canadia.""My advice for her is not to go. Although it's not as dangerous as Northern Burrma, many victims are actually transferred there from other countries. Once they reach Northern Burrma, it's hard to come back. You must have seen the news about that plac

Vince smiled, "I am."Iris said, "You've married a good woman."Kendra said while holding her grandson, "What about you, Iris? I heard from your mother that you broke up with your boyfriend. Why? Men like him are rare. I can't believe you actually broke up with him. Let me tell you, if you miss out on him, you won't find anyone as good in the future. I used to think Stanley was handsome, but Jason's even better-looking. Don't be stupid. Since you met someone good, you should hold onto him tightly and never let go. Don't break up with him so easily." The smile on Iris' face instantly faded.Vince noticed her change in demeanor and immediately spoke sternly to his mother, "Mom, she's an adult; she knows what she's doing. There's no need for you to interfere.""I'm just worried about Iris," Kendra replied, "You've met him before, right? Tell me, do you think Iris can find someone better than him?"Vince fell silent. Even he recognized Jason's qualities were impressive.Although Ja

However, she wasn't hungry. The only thing she felt was uneasy."Don't tell me you haven't had dinner yet?" Jason asked."I have," she lied, trying to keep her tone casual. After some hesitation, she asked, "Are things going well on your end?""I'll personally send Fiora there. The flight's tomorrow," he replied."How many days will you be gone for?""Three or four days."There was a moment of silence before Iris asked, "Is it okay if I don't see you off?"If she did, she would inevitably meet Fiora.Fiora was still unaware of her relationship with Jason. If she found out, it would surely complicate matters.It wasn't the right time to let her know."Of course.""Is there anything else?" she asked."...No. Good night.""You too, good night."After hanging up, Iris curled up on the couch, feeling vulnerable. Her eyes kept darting towards the door, fearing an unexpected intrusion. She didn't think she could fall asleep.Determined to take precautions, she ordered a surveil

When she bent down to move it aside, she saw a folder inside with her name written on it, which puzzled her.She became wary. Someone had placed this box at the door knowing this was where she lived. This was no mere coincidence. Who could it be?After ensuring there was nothing dangerous inside the box, she retrieved the folder and set the cardboard box aside. Entering her house with the folder in hand, she dropped her car keys and bag before quickly opening it. There was a stack of photos inside, all pictures of her — when she left the house for work in the morning, when she reached the law firm, when she went out for lunch, and when she walked to her car in the underground parking lot after work.Panic set in as she realized these photos were secretly taken by someone who was following her. Her heart raced. Someone had been tracking her and documenting her movements. What was the intention of leaving these photos at her doorstep? Was it a threat? An intimidation tactic? She
