Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 288
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

What shocked Wendy was Fiora's background. She carried herself with an air of authority, like a queen, and her bodyguards and subordinates treated her with the utmost respect.The woman could have easily found herself a better man than Stanley. Why was she competing with her for Stanley?In Wendy's social circle, Stanley was the most desirable choice. Therefore, Wendy would do anything to secure him for herself. He could change her destiny. By marrying him, she could elevate her social status and provide a better future for her children.But why would Fiora want a divorced man like Stanley? Was it love? The thought was laughable to Wendy. In this world, didn't everyone weigh their options to make the better choice for themself? Wasn't love just a side product?Wendy harbored love for Stanley too, but her urgent desire to elevate her status through him outweighed that love.She tried to stand but found herself unable to due to the ropes binding her. They restricted her movements

Fiora almost screamed. "You saw Jason's girlfriend?! Is she pretty? Are you satisfied with her?"Jessica replied, "The girl is quite nice. I'm just glad your brother found someone he likes.""So, she's coming over today?" Fiora asked eagerly."I haven't called her yet," Jessica said."Mom, you need to call in advance! You have to give a girl time to prepare," Fiora insisted.Her mother contemplated her words. "Alright, I'll call right now."She washed her hands and went to the living room. Excited to catch a glimpse of her future sister-in-law, Fiora grabbed the phone and dialed the number for her."Here you go, Mom," she said, kindly placing the phone to her mother's ear.Jessica gave Fiora a glance and took the phone. Once the call connected, she spoke, "Jason, bring your girlfriend over for dinner tonight."Jason was aware that Iris was busy lately. Moreover, they had only just started dating, so it wasn't the right time to take her home yet. He hadn't even told her about h

Iris looked at the item in Jessica's hand curiously. "What's this?"Jessica smiled warmly. "There's an art exhibition the day after tomorrow. Would you be free to go?"Iris had already declined an invitation to Jessica's house, so refusing again would seem impolite. She set down her grocery bags and accepted the ticket with both hands. "Thank you, Jessica.""Then I'll pick you up at the gate at three o'clock the day after tomorrow?" Jessica suggested, looking at Iris expectantly.Iris nodded. "Okay.""Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Jason might be wondering what's happening to you," Jessica said, beaming. In her eyes, Iris and Jason were clearly living together. Their previous encounter at Jason's house could have been a coincidence, but seeing Iris again – this time, back from buying household items and groceries – all but confirmed it.It wasn't just speculation. They were definitely living together.Iris sensed that something was off in her words but brushed it off, thi

Iris let out a mocking snort."I've never thought of getting back together with you, but I have thought about revenge. Just yesterday, I had a dream that you died. It was a grotesque, painful death – limbs broken, internal organs shattered. I was so happy that I laughed out loud. When I woke up and realized it was just a dream, do you know how disappointed I was?"Stanley's expression shifted from pale to blue, his mouth twitching in disbelief. "If insulting me makes you feel better, then go ahead. I can take it."He still seemed to believe that he could win her back as long as he apologized sincerely.Iris was so angry that she couldn't help laughing. "What are you laughing at? I know you were heartbroken after our divorce. You've felt hurt, shed tears – don't try to deny it, I've seen it with my own eyes. Let's stop tormenting each other."Iris admitted, "After the divorce, I was indeed heartbroken, but not for the reasons you think. I was sad about why I ever fell for you. I

Stanley could no longer hold himself back. He couldn't stand the intimate display between Jason and Iris. "Should you really be speaking such vulgar words, Mr. Just? You sound like a crook," he said sharply.He then turned towards Iris. "Iris, come back to me." He attempted to reignite the love they once shared.Iris met his eyes with indifference.Her coldness made Stanley's heart skip a beat. "I'm sorry," he murmured, the words slipping out unconsciously. Deep down, he knew he was the one at fault.Unmoved, Iris withdrew her gaze and grasped Jason's arm, looking up at Jason with eyes that shimmered with emotion. Once, she had put on an act with Jason to escape from Stanley, but now, she was no longer acting. She said sincerely, without a trace of pretense, "My dear, I'm so glad to have you in my life."Jason had guided her to slowly become a true lawyer, providing support and mentorship along the way."Let's go," she said, tightening her grip on Jason's arm.Stanley felt sha

Before Jason could reply, Iris continued, "I'm the only child in my family. My family is quite ordinary; my parents are common folks, and my relatives are just regular people.""My family is... comfortable. I have a younger sister, and my parents are alive and well," Jason replied succinctly.Iris nodded. She had finally gained a preliminary understanding of his background. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside. The police seemed to have arrived.As Iris moved to open the door, Jason grabbed her arm. "You stay inside the house," he instructed firmly, then went to answer the door instead.The cops asked who had called the police. Jason explained, "My girlfriend called the police. This guy is harassing my girlfriend, banging on the door and attempting to trespass. His actions have severely affected her normal life."Stanley, hearing Jason repeatedly refer to Iris as his "girlfriend," felt a painful buzz in his head. He sneered, his face twisted in anger. "Your girlfriend? She's

His arms were strong, and his broad and sturdy frame created a comforting embrace.The weather had turned warm, so they were wearing thin clothes. Iris could feel the heat radiating from his body, almost burning through the fabric.She lowered her gaze slightly and shifted her body. "Stop fooling around," she said.Leaning closer, Jason whispered near her ear, "What are you thinking about?""I'm not thinking of anything," Iris replied, though she quickly realized what he really meant to ask. When she turned her head, their lips brushed, and a flush crept across her face. Trying to maintain her composure, she added, "You want to know if I still have feelings for him, right? Wasn't my attitude just now firm enough?"Jason studied her slightly offended expression. "Are you angry?""I don't like being tested. You know about my past, so you should brace yourself.""Brace myself for what?" he asked, a hint of a smile playing on his lips."Brace yourself to be harassed by my ex-husban

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
