Chapter 280

Author: Hauling Treasures
It was the deceased's mother who went to their restaurant to cause trouble, so the deceased's mother was clearly the one at fault.

If something happened to Elise, they could sue the deceased's mother.

The police had already contacted the deceased's mother's family because of her disruptive behavior at the police station.

If her family members caused a scene too, the police would forcibly bring all of them to the interrogation room. According to Article 23 of the Public Security Administration Punishment Law, disrupting the order of government agencies and affecting normal operations could lead to a warning or a fine. In more serious cases, detention of five to ten days and a fine of up to $100 could be imposed. If they persisted in their disruptive behavior without showing any remorse, the punishment would get worse.

When Iris arrived, the troublemaker's family member was already there. The one who came was the father of the deceased. The police explained the situation to the dec

    "It's okay, Aunt Kendra, we'll go home and come back tomorrow. We both drive, so it won't be a hassle," Iris quickly declined. She would be fine with staying overnight if she were alone, but she was with Jason, and she worried he would feel uncomfortable spending the night in her aunt's house. She also didn't want to impose on her aunt's family since they would have to cook and prepare a room for the two of them."Why don't you stay for dinner then? It's already so late," Kendra insisted.Iris replied, "We can just grab something on the way back. It's been a rough day for you. You should go home and make some food for Elise instead. Miscarriages can really affect a woman's health."Recalling Elise's miscarriage, Kendra sighed. "I thought I would be playing with my grandchild soon. How unfortunate," she said, frustrated.Iris kept quiet. It was truly unfortunate.Kendra's family didn't do anything wrong. They merely ran an ordinary restaurant. Yet, a murder had occurred there and t

    The next morning, Jason was awakened by the doorbell. He got up to answer it and furrowed his brow upon seeing the visitor."What brings you here?" he asked, surprised.Jessica smiled warmly. "Why can't I come visit you? What's wrong with me wanting to see my son?"Since Jason had mentioned he had a girlfriend, Jessica had been very curious. "When you said you had a girlfriend, I thought you must be lying to me at first. But considering how long you've stayed in the country this time, I figured you must be telling the truth. You've never stayed in the country for this long before," she said."Why didn't you tell me you were coming?" Jason asked incredulously.Jessica stepped inside, carrying a food container. "If I had told you, would you have let me come?" she asked teasingly. She knew her son well.Jason scratched his forehead, admitting she was right. If she had informed him, he would have tried to dissuade her from coming."So you came for a spot check?" he asked, straighten

    Jessica smiled. After giving her son a look, she stepped back into the house. "You must be Jason's girlfriend.""Huh?" Iris looked at Jason, unsure how to respond. They had only just started dating, and had he already told his family about her?Leaning casually against the wall, Jason wore a mix of helplessness and amusement. "If you scare her off, you have to find a new girlfriend for me," he joked.Jessica shot him a glare. "You tried to trick me." No wonder he allowed her to check his room earlier. It was reverse psychology, and she fell for it.She turned her attention back to Iris, her demeanor softening. "I'm Jessica, Jason's mother. Don't be nervous."Iris managed a polite smile. "Hi, Jessica."Jessica quickly assessed Iris, her satisfaction evident as she noted Iris' beauty and figure. "Come, have a seat," she invited warmly.After some hesitation, Iris walked over. She glanced back at Jason, her expression pleading for support.He stepped closer, wrapping an arm around

    She was really happy to finally meet her son's girlfriend.They were already living together. Grandchildren might not be far off. "You walk me downstairs," Jessica told her son.Jason lightly patted Iris' shoulder. "I'll be right back."Iris nodded.Jason followed Jessica to the door. "What's the matter? Do you have something you want to say to me in private?" he asked.Jessica shot him a reproachful look. "You two should get married as soon as possible. Don't wait until she gets pregnant. It's not fair to the girl."Jason was taken aback at first, then he chuckled, understanding her implication. "What are you thinking?""Aren't you already living together?" Jessica retorted.Jason opened his mouth to protest but decided against it. "I understand. Don't worry, we took precautions, so nothing will happen before marriage."Jessica frowned. "You know full well what I mean."She wasn't worried about Iris getting pregnant. She only wanted them to get married as soon as possible.

    "How long will it take for you to love me wholeheartedly? Five years? Ten years? Twenty years? Fifty years? A lifetime?" Jason kept his voice steady, devoid of any fluctuations.Iris avoided his gaze. "I don't know."Jason chuckled softly. "That's okay; I can wait."His tone deepened, lingering in the air. "I'll wait as long as it takes."Iris felt her heart tremble at his words.She lowered her head, murmuring, "Don't be like this.""Like what?" he asked.Jason's attitude was giving her a lot of pressure."Kiss me," he said. Iris was taken aback. "I haven't brushed my teeth...""I don't mind." His hand that was resting around her waist rubbed her skin through the fabric, sending a tingling sensation through her.To get it over with, she slowly leaned in. When they were mere millimeters apart, Jason tilted his head, closing the distance.Their lips touched, breaths mingling.Jason leaned forward, and she leaned back.She attempted to pull away.But Jason threaded his fi

    Wendy was in the hospital. Before her old head injury could heal, her head was injured by Fiora again, worsening her condition.Restlessness consumed her as she lay in the hospital bed.The hospital had just asked her to pay, but she did not have enough money. She regretted refusing Stanley's compensation. She should have accepted his compensation first, then figured out how to get him later. Now, she found herself in an awkward position with neither money nor man.She still owed her cousin money. Walder said he had succeeded, but he still hadn't sent her the video she asked for. Wouldn't she win Stanley back if she showed him a video of Fiora getting tarnished?While she was formulating a plan to win Stanley back, the door to her ward swung open. Looking up, she saw Fiora walk in, flanked by two imposing bodyguards in black suits.Wendy instinctively turned wary. She understood the need to act according to the situation. Given her current vulnerable state, she shrank back, not

    Samuel immediately figured out what was happening. [Try your best to persuade Ms. Fiora not to get her hands dirty. I'll be right there.][Understood.]The bodyguard stepped forward and said, "Ms. Fiora."Fiora nodded. She then cast a disdainful glance at the three men behind him, particularly at Walder, who visibly trembled at her presence.Seeing Fiora instilled a deep fear in him; his legs felt weak beneath him. This woman was ruthless."Mmh..." Wendy's eyes widened in shock upon spotting her cousin. They had been caught!Seeing their frightened expressions, she realized they must have sold her out.Fury surged within Wendy. How could they be so stupid?!If they had just insisted that it was all Iris' doing, they could have easily redirected Fiora's wrath onto Iris. Fiora and Iris would then fight each other, allowing her to benefit in the end.But these idiots had ruined everything!No wonder Fiora wanted to deal with her!Walder had also noticed Wendy. His gaze was ev

    Smack!Wendy's voice was cut off as a fierce slap landed across her face."You told us we would be perfectly safe!" one of the men shouted."You knew you were breaking the law! You were terrible people to begin with..." Wendy retorted, her anger flaring."How dare you talk back?!"Their violence escalated, and Wendy suffered harsh blows, her cries of pain echoing in the air.When Samuel arrived, he was greeted by the sight of the three men assaulting Wendy.Despite her predicament, Wendy remained defiant. She kept yelling at the men.Samuel approached Fiora, saying, "You could have just told me to do it. There's no reason to get your hands dirty."Fiora turned to Samuel, a smile gracing her lips. "I don't want to see this woman anymore."Samuel immediately understood her wish. They had evidence of the three men's misdeeds, but Wendy..."I understand," he replied, though hesitance lingered in his tone.Fiora frowned. "Is it hard? These three men kidnapped me, and she was t

    Jessica's grace and friendliness made Iris feel somewhat awkward. Visiting someone else's house in pajamas felt rather impolite. She had never imagined visiting Jason's family under such circumstances. Fortunately, she didn't run into many people, thus avoiding further embarrassment.Despite her grievances towards Jason, she respected his mother. "Jessica, I apologize for the intrusion," Iris said politely."I'm happy that you're here," Jessica replied warmly. "I'll tell Felicia to prepare some food. You two can mind your own business." She went to the kitchen.Jason led Iris upstairs, bringing her to his bedroom. "Wait for me here," he instructed.Iris immediately asked, "How long do I have to wait?"This was an unfamiliar environment for her, and she didn't want to stay any longer than was necessary."It'll only take a moment," Jason assured her before closing the door.Iris took a quick glance around the room. It was spacious, well-furnished, clean, luxurious, and bright. She

    Iris could hardly believe her ears. Her hands grabbed the seatbelt tightly, her expression filled with disbelief. She tried to keep her voice low. "Are you out of your mind? Why did you bring me to your family home? I'm still in my pajamas! I can't get out of the car. Take me back."Jason stood in front of the car door with no intention of moving. "The evidence is here. If I don't bring you here, how can I prove it to you?""Are you kidding me?" Iris rejected the idea of meeting his parents in pajamas, finding it absurd. "If you have any evidence, just tell me directly. Why so mysterious?" She was upset with Jason but didn't want to raise her voice lest she disturbed the occupants of the mansion.Jason stared at her for several seconds. "If I tell you, will you believe me?""I..." she hesitated.His tone softened. "Get down from the car."Iris stared at him, conflicted. "Have you ever thought about how this would make me look? If your parents see me dressed like this, won't the

    Seeing Iris stepping back as well as her guarded expression, Jason's feelings were complicated.Suppressing his emotions, he said, "Go change; I'll wait for you."Iris asked, "Wait for me for what?""If I told you the woman of my dreams has always been you, you might not believe me, so I'll show you the evidence," Jason replied, his tone softening. "Go get changed."Iris hesitated, not moving. Jason was a renowned lawyer, so he knew how to fabricate evidence if he wanted to.She shook her head firmly. "I won't believe any so-called evidence that comes from you. I only believe in myself. From now on, our relationship will be strictly professional. If you don't want me to stay at Golden Path, feel free to dismiss me. I won't complain."With nearly a year of experience at a law firm like Golden Path, finding another job wouldn't be difficult.Jason frowned, displeasure and disappointment etched on his face. "Just like that, you've already formed conclusions about me?"Iris turne

    Iris was stunned for two seconds before regaining her composure. "Mr. Just, you're back?" she asked.Jason stared at her, scrutinizing her for a minute. After the long pause, he asked, "Why didn't you answer my calls?"Recalling the missed call, Iris replied honestly, "I was taking a shower."Jason thought back to the timing of the missed calls. They weren't that far apart. She was showering? That brat was in her house when she was showering?"Is that so?" he said, uncertainty creeping into his voice. The situation had never slipped out of his control like this before, which made him feel uneasy.Iris firmly affirmed, "Yes.""Why did you move away?" His deep voice was tinged with suppressed frustration.Iris explained, "The apartment was only a temporary residence. This is my house, so I had to move here sooner or later. It just happened to be during your business trip. Come in."Talking at the doorway wasn't ideal. She stepped aside to make room for him.Jason walked in. He h

    Before he left the country, he could sense that something was off with Iris. And now, she's not answering his calls. Also, why were she and that young man together at such a late hour?Just as Iris was about to take a shower and go to bed, the doorbell rang. Opening the door, she found Brad standing outside."Why are you..."Before she could finish, Brad handed her the phone. "You left this in the car."Iris received it with a smile. "I didn't even notice."Brad did not mention Jason's calls at all. He smiled and said, "Good night."Iris nodded. "Good night."After Brad left, she closed the door and tossed her phone onto the bed before heading to the bathroom. The sound of the shower filled the room.Her phone on the bed once again vibrated. It persisted for a whole minute before the call automatically ended. Jason heard the message, "The person you're trying to reach is currently unavailable. Please try again later..."Half an hour later, Iris emerged from the bathroom in

    Sensing from Stanley's tone that something was wrong, Henry glanced at Stanley through the rearview mirror and was taken aback by his dejected expression.This was the once proud and arrogant Stanley, now at a low point in his life.There were some things that Henry could see clearly as an outsider, but couldn't tell Stanley.Iris had changed. Henry did not think there was any hope of reconciliation.Pointing that out would only hurt Stanley's feelings. However, if he remained silent, Stanley would continue to deceive himself. After a moment of hesitation, Henry finally broke the silence. "You know, Stanley, there are many other good women out there. Why not find someone new? Fiora is a great choice. She loves you. Spending your life with someone who loves you isn't a bad idea...""When did you start becoming so concerned with my love life?" Stanley interrupted impatiently, cutting Henry off before he could finish.Henry pursed his lips in frustration. He was just trying to hel

    Iris approached Brad and asked, "Are you okay?"Seeing Stanley leaning against the wall, clearly in pain, Brad couldn't help but smile. "I'm fine," he answered.The ex-husband clearly took a worse hit than he did."Good. Let's go then," Iris said, turning to leave.Yvonne caught up and said, "I'll leave with you guys."Iris gave her silent agreement, while Henry tagged along, insisting, "And me.""Get lost!" Yvonne snapped."Don't be so heartless," Henry persisted.Yvonne blocked his path and told Iris, "Iris, you go ahead."Iris, weary of the situation, acknowledged her with a nod and walked away.She and Brad went to Brad's car. They had both been drinking, so they could only call a buddy driver service.Yvonne looked at Stanley, then back at Henry. With a smirk, she presented Henry with a difficult choice, "I'll give you a choice: either we end it here or you completely cut ties with Stanley Stein. Pick one."Henry asked in disbelief, "Do you really need to be so mercile

    Brad sneered, "Iris is an independent woman, so of course I have no right to interfere in her business. And you, as her ex-husband, have no right either."Stanley's gaze darkened. He noticed Brad holding Iris' hand. A cold smile curled his lips. "Let go of her.""Nope!" Brad replied defiantly, tilting his head back.Stanley narrowed his eyes, and the two stood at the brink of conflict, tension thick in the air.Iris patted Brad's shoulder and said, "Don't waste time talking to him; let's go."Turning to face Iris, Brad immediately changed his attitude. He replied with a huge smile, "Okay."He pushed past Stanley, who was blocking the way.Frustration boiled within Stanley. He was fed up with Brad's constant interference and provocation. He felt humiliated.He couldn't stand it anymore!Without a second thought, he turned and kicked Brad.Caught off guard, Brad staggered forward but managed to stay on his feet.Iris was appalled. She did not expect Stanley to attack a kid lik

    Henry frequented nightlife venues, so his capacity for alcohol was nothing to be trifled with. He filled Brad's glass with a smile."Cheers." He draped an arm over Brad's shoulder, holding a glass of wine in his other hand.Brad raised his glass, "Cheers."They clinked their glasses and downed the drinks in one go.Henry refilled their glasses, and they drank again.The pouring and drinking continued...Iris sensed something was off by the fourth drink. "Enough, you two, stop drinking." She took the glass from Brad's hand. "That's enough wine for tonight."But Henry hadn't achieved his goal yet. He smiled at Iris and said,. "But Iris, we're having a good time.""No more drinking," Iris said firmly. She knew Henry's limits with alcohol and knew that Brad was probably no match for him. If Brad continued drinking, he would end up drunk, and she could tell that Henry was trying to get him drunk.It was their first meeting, so Iris couldn't understand why Henry was messing with B
