Chapter 310

Author: Hauling Treasures
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

    Stanley looked conflicted. He wasn't sure if he could persuade Renee.Ronald was displeased because not only was his son's mind filled with just love and women, he also lacked wisdom. "Just trick her. Tell her that if she apologizes, you won't call off the engagement. She'll definitely apologize."Stanley wasn't stupid; he simply didn't want to lie to Renee like that. He knew that, if he did, it would lead to endless trouble. If he made that promise, Renee would surely do everything possible to force him to marry Fiora. Therefore, he simply couldn't make that kind of promise."Understood," he replied, though he knew he had to find another solution.Ronald pressed the issue, "Don't disappoint me again. I have high hopes for you."Stanley studied his father, sensing there was more behind his words, as if his father was reminding him.Perhaps men simply understood each other better."Dad, you...""Enough. I'm going out for a while," Ronald cut him off and walked to the door to go

    When Iris returned to the police station, Jason had already taken care of everything. The police officer from earlier had been removed from duty. He stood to the side with a pale face, while the two hooligans who had caused the disturbance appeared defeated, their earlier bravado gone."They're under arrest. They've apologized to your parents and compensated them," Jason informed her.Iris shot the two hooligans a cold glance. She was angry at them, but she knew that the real culprit was the person who hired them.She felt a deep sense of guilt for having involved her parents in her mess. They got injured because of her."It's all my fault," Iris said, her eyes reddening."Don't say that. We're a family, so your problem is our problem too," Dennis assured her. "It's all good now, thanks to Jason. Without him, we might still be detained."Iris turned to Jason, whose calm demeanor and deep eyes brought her a sense of reassurance. She silently vowed to keep this favor in mind. "Than

    Renee bristled at the suggestion that she should go over to them. "Tell them to come here. They should be grateful that I'm willing to apologize to them. I'm not going over there. They don't deserve it."Stanley said, "You came to apologize. Go."He understood the stakes clearly. If his mother and Iris' parents became hostile, his chances of salvaging his relationship with Iris would plummet. Therefore, even though he knew how stubborn Renee was, he still persuaded her to go over to them.Renee couldn't put her pride aside. She had always looked down on Iris' parents, and being asked to take the initiative to go over to them felt like a total humiliation. Apologizing to them was already a huge compromise."Since you've come to apologize, then do it properly. Don't give them any leverage," Stanley urged.Renee snorted, "I'm not afraid of them.""You should be," Stanley insisted. "If Iris raises a ruckus at the Just residence, what chance do I have of salvaging my relationship with

    She tried to make excuses for herself.Jason said, "It's okay."He looked at Iris.Iris helplessly rubbed her temples. There was nothing she could do about her mother's temper.Iris suggested taking Dennis to the hospital, but he stubbornly refused, insisting he was fine except for a minor injury on his face.Cassie said it was late and that she would take him to the hospital tomorrow to get a full-body checkup.Reluctantly, Iris acquiesced to their wishes. After Iris' parents exited the car, Cassie suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Iris, your Aunt Kendra said you and Jason have helped her a lot, so she wants you two to visit so she can thank you properly."Iris immediately rejected it. "Tell her there's no need. I'm busy with work lately, so I won't be able to visit."Cassie frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about what happened to Kendra and her family?"Iris saw through her mother's intentions immediately. "Why should I tell you about other people's affairs? B

    Iris pushed open the car door and stepped out, quickly walking away as if trying to escape. She wasn't entirely sure what she feared — perhaps she was afraid that she couldn't handle whatever Jason might say. Once home, she received a text from him: [The business trip is delayed for a day.]She stared at the message for a long moment before replying with a simple [Okay.]Feeling utterly exhausted, she lay down on her bed and fell asleep without even showering.The next morning, she took a shower after she woke up and changed into clean clothes. She then left the house to go to her parents' home to take her parents to the hospital for a full-body checkup.However, when she opened the door of her apartment, something fell inside, startling her.That "something" turned out to be Stanley, who had been sleeping at her doorstep. He stood up with a stubbly beard, tired eyes, and wrinkled clothes. "I came last night. I wanted to knock but was afraid of disturbing your sleep..."Iris' e

    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
