"They confessed willingly?" Jason inquired, a hint of skepticism in his voice.Samuel nodded. "Yes.""Among the three, who is the leader?" Jason asked.Samuel kicked the man in the middle. "This one. His name is Walder Rain."Walder kept yelling, "Let us go! This is kidnapping... It's a crime!"Samuel couldn't help but feel amused. "Didn't you try to kidnap someone?"Jason smelled something fishy going on. "They willingly confessed that Iris instructed them?""Yes, it was her! Iris Glover told us to do it!" Walder immediately said.Jason pulled out his phone and searched for a random picture of a woman on the internet. He showed Walder the picture and asked, "She's the one who instructed you?"Walder nodded vigorously. "Yes, that's her!"Samuel was now confused."You son of a..." Samuel grabbed Walder's face, realizing he had been played. "So you've been paid to lie, huh?"He was wondering why they would confess so quickly. It turned out they had been instructed to frame Ir
"Later?! Samuel, do you not understand your own position? Would you make my brother wait for you?" Fiora was furious."I order you to arrange it immediately! I want to see you in the hospital an hour from now. If you're even a minute late, I won't let you leave in one piece!" After delivering her stern warning, she hung up the phone.Samuel stared at his phone, feeling helpless. Why must his life be so difficult? But he knew this wasn't the time to complain; he needed to get to the bottom of things quickly to report back to Jason.The task wasn't actually that hard.His focus turned to Walder. With the right methods, he was confident Walder would crack....One hour later, Samuel arrived at the hospital ward, where Fiora had been anxiously watching the clock."You're a minute late," she glared at him coldly.Samuel quickly explained, "There was traffic on the way. Please forgive me. I'll take you to see those three men right away. You can deal with them however you wish."Fi
Fiora approached Walder and narrowed her eyes. She pressed the head of the golf club against his groin. "You were so cocky when you were chasing me that day, claiming you would fuck me good. Well, I'm standing before you right now. Not so cocky now, huh?!"Walder trembled in fear. "Mmmh..."Fiora exerted pressure. The sound of something bursting could be heard.In an instant, the man's pants were drenched. His eyes widened, pupils shaking.Samuel watched with a pained expression, despite not being the one suffering the punishment. "Mmmh..." Walder could only manage muffled wails, his voice a pitiful sound. The bodyguards nearby winced as if they were the ones whose testicle had burst.Even that couldn't satisfy Fiora. She unleashed a series of kicks, landing them on the man's body without hesitation."Samuel," she said. She needed a confession to hold as evidence against Wendy. She wanted to make sure Stanley knew Wendy's true colors.Samuel, aware of what she wanted, step
Stanley was not interested in hearing another word from Wendy. "You have one minute. Get out of my sight."Wendy lowered her head, the hatred in her eyes intensifying. But when she lifted her gaze, there was only a pitiful look on her face. "Is it because of your fiancée, or because of Iris?" she asked.Stanley's anger flared. "Do I have to repeat myself?!""Fine, I'll leave." Weakly, Wendy climbed to her feet but trembled and stumbled, collapsing onto the couch.Stanley's brow furrowed. "Wendy?!"When he received no response, he walked over and kicked her lightly with his foot.Still, she remained unresponsive."Damn it!" Stanley cursed. He quickly grabbed the phone and called an ambulance.Wendy thought he would send her to the hospital himself, but he would only call an ambulance for her. She bit her lip, her heart filled with both pain and resentment. He was truly heartless. Once they broke up, it was as if everything they had shared meant nothing to him.But she wouldn't
The entire house seemed to shake from the impact.Fiora turned to see Wendy propping herself up on the couch while casting a disdainful glance in her direction. After donning her clothes, Wendy headed for the door.A fiery rage ignited within Fiora. If she didn't let it out, she feared she might suffocate from anger. She charged towards Wendy."You bitch! How dare you provoke me after you tried to harm me!" Fiora shouted, grabbing a vase and smashing it over Wendy's head. "I'll never forgive you!"Wendy fell to the floor, fainting for real this time.When the ambulance arrived, Fiora instructed the paramedics to take Wendy away.Just then, Stanley emerged from his room, fully dressed. He noticed that Fiora hadn't left yet, but he didn't say anything to her. He simply headed for the door."Are you going to the hospital to check on that bitch?" Fiora blocked his path. "You should have heard; that bitch was taken away by the ambulance earlier."She pulled out her phone and played
He grinned lightly. He did tell her he wouldn't be at the law firm, but he never said he wouldn't see her today. "This isn't the law firm."Iris chuckled. She got them mixed up because the law firm was so close to her residence. "You look like you're in a hurry. Where are you going?" he asked.Iris told him honestly. "I just received a call. Something seemed to have happened to my relative. I want to go take a look.""I'll go with you," he said.Iris hesitated. She felt that it was too soon for Jason to meet her relatives. That would be like announcing their relationship to her family circle. Their relationship was still new, and she didn't want him to be too deeply involved in her life just yet.Jason seemed to pick up on the reason for her hesitation. Her cold response dampened his enthusiasm. He pursed his lips. "Am I that embarrassing?""No, not at all," Iris quickly clarified. "You've misunderstood; I just...""Just what?" He prompted, raising an eyebrow.She found herse
A crowd of onlookers had gathered outside the restaurant.With a frown, Iris prepared to walk over, but Jason said, "Wait.""Hmm?" She turned to him, puzzled."There are a lot of people here. Should we call the police?" Jason suggested.Iris said, "I already told them to. Did they not call?"It didn't seem like they had called the police. She thus took out her phone to do so.Jason stepped ahead of her, opening a way through the crowd. At the restaurant entrance, the deceased's mother was shouting that Vince's restaurant should be held accountable for her son's death too."You're insane! The police already said it had nothing to do with my son! Your son deserved it for harassing the women...""You—"The deceased's mother was infuriated. She started shoving. "You're the one who deserves it. You're the one who deserves it..."The two sides began to shove one another."Kendra, stop! Don't fight!" Elise intervened, trying to break up the fight.However, the two women were too
Iris was stopped at the door by a nurse. "Are you the patient's family member? Please go make the payment first.""Oh, okay." Iris hurried to the payment counter in the lobby and settled the bill. She returned to wait outside the operating room.Based on what she saw, she feared Elise may not be able to keep the baby.After about half an hour, the doctor emerged. Iris approached him."Are you a family member?" the doctor asked."Yes," Iris replied."She had a miscarriage; it had already occurred when she was brought in," the doctor in the white coat stated. "The patient may be emotional, so please try to cheer her up. Where is her husband? It would be best if he could come and be with her.""Okay," Iris responded."She shouldn't leave right away. Let her rest in the hospital for a while. When she wakes up and feels better, she can go home," the doctor added."Alright, thank you, doctor," Iris said.The doctor nodded and returned to the operating room.Elise was soon transfer
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
