The Stein family was not the Just family's equal, but it's great for them that they managed to "punch above their weight"."Did she crawl back to you to seduce you?" Renee asked sharply.Stanley turned his head away, irritated by his mother's lecturing. For the first time, he set aside his pride to confront his true feelings. "I've never moved on from her."Renee was speechless. Her anger boiled over. "I won't allow it! I would rather die than see you remarry Iris. If you dare to remarry Iris, I will kill myself right in front of you. You must forget her!"Stanley looked up. "Do you want me to die instead?""You—" Renee clutched her chest, nearly passing out from fury. "You better think long and hard about it!" she snapped before storming off. It felt impossible to talk to him today.Stanley said, "I've already made up my mind. Tomorrow, I'll go to Fiora and tell her the marriage is off.""If you dare to do that, I'll kill myself!" Renee exclaimed.Stanley knew her threats were

It was Renee.Renee was going to seek out Iris soon. To her surprise, she actually ran into Iris at the art exhibition."What a small world," she remarked, striding towards Iris.Renee did not see Jessica because there was someone in the way, so she assumed Iris was there alone. She seized Iris' arm and tried to pull her to the corridor.Iris shook off her hand. "What are you doing?""You—" Renee started yelling, but immediately realized where she was. Not wanting to draw attention, she lowered her voice. "I'm warning you, stop seducing my son. If you do it again, I'll make you regret it!" Her words dripped with menace.Iris sneered. "Are you crazy?"She could not be bothered talking to Renee. But Renee pressed on, not believing her. "If you didn't seduce him, why would he suddenly want to remarry you and break off his engagement with Fiora? You must have seduced him and told him to do that, you whore! He's already divorced you, so stop meddling in his affairs. If he really br

But now, things were different. Iris and Stanley were divorced. Why would Iris still tolerate or indulge Renee?Never again!As she thought about Ronald's mistress who was about to give birth, a cold smile spread across her lips. She was eager to see how Renee would react when she found out.Remembering that Jason's mother was present, Iris quickly adjusted her expression and walked back to Jessica. Jessica spotted her and waved."Let's go upstairs," Jessica suggested. "There are other paintings to see.""Sure," Iris replied, following her lead.They ascended to the second floor, which also served as an exhibition hall but featured fewer paintings than below."These pieces are usually private collections," Jessica explained."I see," Iris acknowledged."But they are being exhibited for sale," Jessica added.Iris asked, "Is there a painting that you like?"Jessica nodded. "Yes, but it's not here."Iris soon understood what she meant. A box was later retrieved from a safe. In

On the other end of the line, Fiora kept crying but didn't explain what was wrong.Sensing the urgency in Jessica, Iris quickly spoke up, "Jessica, if something urgent came up, you should go home. I can just grab a taxi.""There's no rush. I can take you home first," Jessica said, instructing the driver to send Iris home.Iris felt a little embarrassed. "Thank you.""Oh, don't be so polite," Jessica smiled warmly.As they passed by the law firm, Iris said, "I can get off here." Jessica signaled for the driver to pull over.Iris opened the door and stepped out.Jessica peered at the law firm, a meaningful smile on her lips.Iris nodded politely. "Thank you for taking me to the art exhibition today. I had a wonderful time."Jessica smiled back. "I should have catered more to your interests. I'll give you a few law books next time."Iris was surprised at first, but then chuckled. "See you next time."As the car window rolled up and the vehicle drove off, Iris walked into th

They went back to work, and in the evening, they left the office together.Jason said, "Lunch was my treat, so shouldn't dinner be your treat?"Iris replied generously, "Let's go to my place. I have ingredients in the fridge."That was Jason's goal, so he had no reason to refuse.Once they arrived, Iris took charge in the kitchen while Jason made himself comfortable, removing his coat and settling onto the couch.The sounds of Iris chopping crabs filled the air. Jason reclined, glancing towards the kitchen. In the warm light, Iris, clad in an apron, appeared almost ethereal – her figure so perfect it seemed like she had stepped out of a painting. Jason's gaze deepened.After more than an hour, Iris set the table with several dishes she had prepared. As they ate, she told him about the woman who went to their law firm to seek legal advice.After finishing her story, she asked Jason, "Am I still not mature enough?""Yes," he replied bluntly. "This kind of case is nothing. If you

Upon entering the police station, Iris immediately spotted her parents, both of whom had bruises on their faces. Cassie appeared relatively better, but Dennis' condition was concerning; his eyes were swollen, his mouth bruised, and a cut marred his cheek."What happened?" Iris asked, concerned.Cassie recounted, "Those guys refused to pay and caused trouble on purpose, claiming there was a fly in the sushi. It's not even summer — where would a fly come from? They harassed us and demanded compensation. When your father and I refused, they destroyed our stall."Iris took her mother's hand, speaking gently, "Did they initiate the fight?"Cassie confirmed emphatically, "Yes, they initiated it.""No, you started it. Your food's not clean. We fell ill after eating your sushi. Our lives might be at risk. You owe us compensation for mental distress, medical expenses, lost wages..." one of the two troublemakers rebutted arrogantly from a nearby bench. They did not look scared at all even t

"I understand," Iris said. She was about to leave when Jason grabbed her arm."Do you want me to get you a knife?" he asked.Iris and the officer were both speechless, while the two hooligans looked perplexed."Iris, please don't do anything rash. We still don't know for sure yet..." her father, Dennis, said with worry."I know, Dad," she replied, reassuring him with a smile. "But if I don't go, Renee will think we're easy targets, and she'll come after us again."She also wanted to make it clear to Renee and Stanley that she had no intention of remarrying Stanley, so these dirty tricks were unnecessary!Jason was the one driving earlier, so he handed her the car keys. Iris accepted them with a thank you and left in a hurry.She drove straight to the Stein residence with her mind set on finding Renee.The lights were on at the Stein residence. They were still awake.Iris knocked on the door.When Stanley opened it, he seemed pleasantly surprised to see her."What are you d

"You.... You... How dare you threaten me?!" Renee exclaimed, taken aback by Iris' boldness.Ronald stepped forward, putting a hand on Renee's shoulder. "You're in the wrong here. Go apologize and compensate them.""Why should I? She ruined our son's marriage! You want to ally with the Just family too. You...""Renee!" Ronald cut her off firmly. "If you don't apologize, she'll go to the Just family to cause trouble for us. Do you think there's any chance of salvaging our son's marriage if she does that?"He was eager to prevent the situation from escalating. Iris looked so furious that she might actually raise a ruckus at the Just residence, which would really embarrass the Stein family.Moreover, he feared that Iris might expose his affair. Knowing Renee's temperament, she would surely have an explosive reaction if that happened. He would never have peace at home again."If you want to salvage our son's marriage, you need to resolve this situation first," he continued. He knew he

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

Iris turned to her, surprised."You don't seem too happy," she teased. "Rather than getting married, it looks more like you're going to attend a funeral.""Is marriage something to be happy about? Aren't you a cautionary tale?" Yvonne shot back.Iris was speechless.She was indeed a textbook cautionary tale.Yvonne poured herself another glass. "Marriage isn't something to be happy about. I'm just fulfilling my parents' wishes."In the past, she just wanted to have fun and didn't want to get married. When her parents urged her to get married, her grandfather defended her.Now that her grandfather had fallen ill and was not in good health, he also wanted to see her get married.She could ignore her parents, but for her grandfather's sake, she had to get married.Iris sighed. "I'm sorry for being a bad example. You're not me. Most marriages don't end like mine. Most people do well."Yvonne smiled. "Are you trying to comfort me?""Kind of," Iris admitted."I'm very rational.

She only realized that when she checked her phone at the end of the workday. Brad had called multiple times, but she merely glanced at the notifications without replying. There were also missed calls from Yvonne, who asked to meet up that evening.Iris messaged back, asking: [What time? Where?][Star Coast.][Got it.]Iris went to the underground parking lot. She took the stairs as the elevator was under maintenance. The maintenance was scheduled to be performed after work hours when there were fewer people.Her footsteps echoed in the dimly lit stairway, clattering loudly as emergency lights flickered on.A person in a black windbreaker, baseball cap, and face mask entered the stairway. Their head was bowed low, with half their face scrunched up inside their collar, obscuring their expression.Iris found her car, opened the door, and got in. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes watched her intently from the shadows.The person's tightly clenched hands and the bulging veins o

Iris kept quiet and didn't say anything. She felt a pang of regret over the waste since those things cost money. He could have just given them away instead of throwing them away. However, she couldn't help but find his jealousy endearing. She couldn't believe a successful man like him would get so jealous."Let me help you," she offered. She closed the fridge and moved into the kitchen to help him serve the breakfast that Samuel bought."What time did you wake up?" she asked."Before seven," he answered.Iris glanced at the time; it was already past eight.Just then, her phone in the bedroom rang.She got up to answer it and saw it was Brad calling. She hesitated before answering."What time are you coming to visit me, Iris?" Brad asked, sounding forlorn."I have to go to the law firm. I haven't been there for two days. I can't put the case off anymore," she explained, politely declining.Though it was true she had to deal with the case, she could actually spare a couple of ho

Jason simply smiled without saying a word, leaving Iris feeling as though she had been unwittingly tricked. He seemed like an easy-going person, but there was an innate confidence and control about him that set him apart from others."You have a hidden agenda, don't you?" she asked."Once you finish the case in Southerland, I'd like to transfer you overseas," he replied.As for Brad Vassell, he would continue to stay at the law firm.The two would naturally be separated.Iris sat up straight, alarmed. "What did you say?"She was not going to sacrifice her career for a man! Their relationship wasn't at a stage where such sacrifices were warranted. Actually, no matter how much she ended up loving him, she would not sacrifice her career for him. She had already learned her lesson."With your skills, limiting yourself to marriage cases is a waste. Don't you want to tackle international cases?" He spoke casually, but his words were full of temptation.Iris was aware that Jason had

"I'll explain to her." Jason bent down, lifted Iris up and carried her to the bedroom.Iris, feeling sad, buried her face in his neck. "I'm sorry," she mumbled."It's not your fault. You didn't know she would be there." When Jason opened the bedroom door, the light passed over his face, illuminating the fleeting hint of danger in his eyes. "When you went to the Vassell family mansion, what did they say to you?""They just thanked me for mentoring Brad..." At that moment, Iris felt something was off. A family like the Vassells wouldn't need to invite her to their house for something so trivial. But if it wasn't to express their gratitude, why would they invite her? She wasn't close to them, and their statuses were vastly different."What was their intention?" she asked, looking up at him.All she saw was his firm jaw.Jason answered, "They had their reasons."He didn't blame Iris for easily accepting Brad's invitation; she wasn't part of their circle and naturally didn't know the

Iris was unbothered by Yvonne's antics; she would be more surprised if Yvonne didn't say something inappropriate.Yvonne closed the door with a smile. To be honest, she was genuinely happy for Iris, pleased to see her stepping out of her shell. She didn't care if Iris got together with Brad or Jason. She was happy as long as Iris could emerge from the shadows of her failed marriage without losing her confidence in men and still being open to love. After all, they say once bitten, twice shy. Yvonne feared that Iris might lose her ability to love someone after experiencing Stanley's betrayal.Iris approached the dining table, eyeing the fried chicken and beer. "We have dinner now.""Junk food," Jason remarked, glancing at it before pulling out his phone to make a call.Iris interjected, "Don't. It's fine to have junk food once in a while; it's not like we eat this every day. It would be a waste to throw it away."She opened the paper bag, retrieved the fried chicken, and set out gla
