Yvonne rubbed her numb arms vigorously.

Iris laughed, "You haven't changed at all; you always get sleepy during law lessons."

Yvonne scratched her head, "Right? Maybe I was switched at birth. Everyone in my family has a career in law, and I'm the only odd one out."

She was an only child, so it seemed like her family's illustrious history in the legal field was destined to end with her.

Professor Sandler, not joining them, instructed Yvonne, "You should head home." His tone implied, "Don't be a third wheel."

Yvonne looked at him with a pitiful expression. "Grandpa, are you really not going to help me?"

"Go talk to your parents yourself," he replied, waving her off.

Iris asked, "What's the matter?"

Yvonne sighed, "They want me to go on a blind date."

Iris fell silent. Yvonne's parents wanted Yvonne to go on blind dates so that she would get married, but Iris knew that if Yvonne were locked up in a marriage and couldn't have fun anymore, she would go crazy.

    "Corn cheese," Iris replied, handing Jason a plate. "Put the peeled corn kernels in here."Jason grunted in agreement.While washing vegetables, the tap water splashed onto Iris.Jason set the corn down, grabbed the apron hanging by the refrigerator, approached her from behind, and gently threaded his hand around her waist to tie it.Iris leaned back slightly in cooperation. "Thank you."Jason paused for a moment, then adjusted the hem of her shirt. "Don't be so polite."Iris couldn't help it; she was used to it.The kitchen was filled with the soothing sound of running water as she washed and cut baby pumpkins and sweet potatoes. She then cleaned the corn kernels and placed them in a steamer with two slices of cheese.She then deftly chopped up the vegetables.Jason stood nearby, observing her movements as she expertly handled the ingredients and the pan. A harmonious connection seemed to exist between her and the food. She prepared four dishes in no time at all: lotus root,

    Jason stared at her intently and answered, "Okay.""See you tomorrow then," Iris said, turning to leave.She walked out of the parking lot towards her apartment building, then took the elevator to her floor. Upon stepping out, she immediately saw Yvonne waiting at her door.Confused, Iris asked, "Weren't you supposed to be at home persuading your parents to make another baby? What are you doing here?"Yvonne sighed dramatically. "Just open the door."Iris complied, opening the door."Are you and Jason dating?" Yvonne got straight to the point.Iris paused, holding the door. "Why do you ask that?"Slumping onto the couch, Yvonne replied, "People in love have a distinct stink."Iris chose silence, not denying it."Help me out," Yvonne continued, "I couldn't convince my parents. They're forcing me to go on a blind date tomorrow, but I have an important client to meet. Help me sabotage this blind date."Iris refused outright, "Deal with it yourself."Yvonne rested her chin on h

    After a short stunned silence, the man smiled."Interesting."Iris' reply caught him off guard."As expected of a law student. You know the law so well. Even if you're not practicing, you remember the law very clearly," he remarked.Iris cut to the chase, "You're not my type."The man was taken aback again, not expecting such frankness from her."I actually have a pretty good impression of you," he said, maintaining a calm and gentle demeanor, seemingly not offended by her bluntness."Is that so? But I'm afraid I'm not interested in you, and I strongly reject the idea of blind dates. If it weren't for family pressure, I wouldn't be here. I assume you're here to please your family too, so let's not waste time," she replied firmly."It's true that I'm here because of family pressure as well, but after meeting you, I'm glad I agreed to this blind date," he said.Iris was speechless.What the hell did he mean by that?He continued, "Since you're already here, why don't we have a

    "I have a feeling Wendy won't let you go that easily," Lester speculated.Iris, spotting the two, opted to avoid interaction and headed straight for her car. However, Stanley already noticed her. He stopped walking.Lester, who was looking down, continued unaware, "You said she slammed her head into a pillar in front of you? I think she did that on purpose to make you feel bad for her."Stanley, I really think you should keep your distance from someone like her. Remember how she framed Iris? She clearly wanted to take Iris' place. She was cunning enough to trick all of us with her scheme. Compared to her, the girl from the Just family is much lovelier. Despite her temper, she's as gentle as a lamb in front of you. If I had to choose, I'd say the Just girl is the better option."Lester rambled on, but Stanley didn't catch a word."Stanley..." Lester looked up and saw Stanley staring into the distance. He followed Stanley's gaze but all he saw was traffic."Stanley," Lester calle

    "Stanley, I love you," she whispered, laying her head against Stanley's chest, her fingers greedily caressing his body as she inhaled his scent. In that moment, she felt he belonged solely to her."I'm the only one who's worthy of being your wife, do you understand?" Her eyes glinted with madness. "Your fiancée and your ex-wife – they're not suitable for you. They don't truly love you. Only I love you."She rubbed her face against his chest. "How I wish time would stop right now, and we could just hold each other in peace, without anyone in our way."But as the alcohol churned in his stomach, Stanley felt increasingly nauseous, and her weight on his stomach only made it worse..."Blurgh..." he suddenly turned over and threw up.The floor quickly became a mess.Wendy recoiled, covering her nose. "Why did you drink so much?" The unpleasant odor filled the house, making her gag.Wendy couldn't bring herself to clean the vomit. There was actually a maid here cleaning the place when

    Wendy's face twisted in rage as she seethed at the audacity of the maid. The realization that she had to pay the money or risk being looked down upon infuriated her even more. Besides, she must make the maid go away for good or the maid might talk bad about her to Stanley."I'll transfer the money to you," Wendy gritted her teeth and reluctantly agreed to pay. Already struggling financially, losing that $900 made her even poorer.The maid took out her phone and displayed her bank account number. After Wendy transferred the funds, she snapped, "Don't come back!""Afraid I'll expose your true colors?" the maid taunted, putting her phone away.Wendy's face reddened with rage."Don't worry, I'm busy," the maid said, and left.Once alone, Wendy couldn't help but laugh in anger. When had she ever suffered that kind of treatment? She couldn't believe she got played by a maid! It's so infuriating!!!The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

    On the day Iris Glover was prosecuted in court by her husband, it was snowing heavily.From their courtship to their marriage, they had been together for seven years. She had always believed in his love for her; they were happy together. However, everything changed when he personally prosecuted her in court because of an accusation made by Wendy Rain.During the trial, the judge stated the case: "On November 23rd, during a drunk driving checkpoint on Westfield Road, a prohibited substance was discovered in the vehicle driven by the defendant, Ms. Iris Glover. We are here today to address these charges.""Prosecutor, please present your statement."Stanley Stein stood tall in a black suit, exuding seriousness. When he looked at his wife, there was only disappointment and indifference in his eyes. "On November 23rd, Ms. Glover drove a white car, license plate V8861, in which five grams of prohibited substance was found. Ms. Glover claims Ms. Wendy Rain had called her to pick up her i

    Iris turned to Stanley.It turned out that the word divorce was not as difficult to utter as she had imagined."I won't divorce you; you know that very well," Stanley replied, his expression cold."As a lawyer, you know very well that if I was pronounced guilty, I would have gone to prison...""In light of the evidence, I had no choice...""No, you chose to believe Wendy over me," Iris pinpointed the issue. He did not believe her. Perhaps, in his heart, Wendy was more important, so he hoped Iris would be the one to go to prison rather than Wendy."Let's just go home," he said, walking down the steps.Iris adjusted her coat against the biting wind as she followed him toward the car, the chill cutting across her face.Inside the car, silence enveloped them, almost suffocating in its weight.Upon arriving home, Stanley did not get out of the car. After Iris stepped out, he simply drove away.She watched him leave without saying a word. He must be worried about Wendy's impending investi

    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

    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
