Liandra remained silent. She kept staring at Iris with a numb expression. A hint of mockery suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips, as if to say, "You're only doing this to defend that scumbag."Iris could understand how Liandra feels. She remained patient and said in a gentle tone, "If you can provide evidence to support your accusation that he sexually assaulted you when you were a child like you mentioned in your suicide note, he'll get a heavier sentence."Liandra continued to show indifference.Iris realized that perhaps Liandra needed some time to process things, so pushing further might not yield any results. She sighed helplessly. Just then, the door to the ward swung open, and Liandra's mother returned.While driving away from the hospital, she realized she had left her bag behind, so she came back to retrieve it. To her surprise, she found Iris inside the ward.She immediately understood the situation. "I was wondering why that scumbag would ask me out, saying he

"Sure."Iris immediately walked back into the ward, but the woman, Rinkah, blocked her path. "My daughter needs rest. Please don't disturb her."Iris replied, "Didn't you hear her? She's willing to talk to me. Are you trying to prevent me from communicating with her because you're afraid she might say something that might incriminate you?"With an air of superiority, Rinkah retorted, "I'm her mother. How could I have possibly harmed her?"Iris fixed her with a sharp gaze. "If you love her so much, why did you take advantage of her financially? If you love her so much, why did you try to abandon her?"Rinkah's expression changed, a mix of shame and anger evident on her face. "That scumbag slandered me! I… I never tried to abandon her!" she stammered.Observing Rinkah's defensiveness, Iris calmly stated, "You and I both know what the truth is."Rinkah was flustered and angry.Iris continued with a smirk, "If you love your daughter so much, why are you stopping her from talking to

Iris answered, "She didn't say anything."Rinkah stared at Iris for several seconds before a faint smile appeared on her lips. It seemed her daughter had taken her words to heart."Can you leave now?" Rinkah asked, looking challengingly at Iris.Iris took another look at Liandra before turning to walk out of the ward.Brad immediately complained to Iris, "She actually bit me."Iris dragged him away."Aren't you going to stand up for me?" he asked pitifully."How? Should I beat her up for you? Do you think we're in the right here?" Iris asked."But…" Brad hesitated. "I can't just let it slide. I was bitten.""Then do you want to bite her back?" Iris asked.Brad fell silent. Showing some empathy, Iris said, "Let me see." He extended his hand, revealing a clear bite mark on the back with a hint of blood. Iris was surprised by the severity of the wound. "Let's go see a doctor."Brad followed her to the medical station. The injury wasn't severe, but as a precaution, the docto

Jason walked over and held Iris' hand possessively. "Sorry, she does belong to me."Brad looked at Iris in shock. "You're dating your boss?"His voice was not low, and the incredulity in his tone attracted the attention of many lawyers in the firm.The two female lawyers who had previously gossiped about Iris exchanged glances. Their relationship was no longer a secret in the law firm; the new assistant just hadn't caught on yet.Jason seemed to be declaring their relationship to the public now by openly holding Iris' hand in front of everyone.Brad was dumbfounded. "Is this for real?"Iris smiled and said half-jokingly, "It's not; he's just kidding." As she spoke, she withdrew her hand from Jason's grip.With his hand now empty, Jason studied Iris with a slight frown."Let's talk upstairs," Iris said, walking ahead, unfazed by the scrutinizing and disdainful glances from their colleagues.The disdainful glances probably came from the group of people who liked to gossip about

She was clearly trying to avoid him.She nodded and said, "Okay."She would take this time to compose herself and contemplate what to tell him.Jason suggested, "Let's have dinner tonight. I'll be away for some time, so you won't see me for a while."Besides taking care of business, he also planned to visit some other places, so he would not be back for some time.Iris declined, "I have to go see my parents.""I can go with you…" he offered."Oh... No need," she quickly replied, waving her hand. "It'll be late, and I haven't spent much time with them lately. This incident happened because of me, and I want to spend some time with them alone. I'll spend the night there, so…"Initially, her refusal made Jason unhappy, but her detailed explanation sounded reasonable enough. It was indeed unnecessary for him to intrude on their family time. He nodded in agreement.After leaving Jason's office, Iris headed straight downstairs. She left the firm and walked home to get her car to dri

Dennis joked, "Fine, fine. Your temper is the best in our family."He was clearly being sarcastic.Iris smiled.Cassie glared at her husband playfully, prompting Dennis to serve her some food to keep her quiet.The dining table quickly fell silent. After a moment, Cassie asked, "Where's your boyfriend? Why didn't he come with you?"Iris' hand that was holding the fork stiffened momentarily, but she masked her emotions. "I plan to stay overnight, so why would I bring him here?"Cassie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She served Iris some food. "You rarely have dinner with us, so eat more."Iris responded, "You should eat more too. Both of you."The atmosphere at the dining table visibly improved. Although the house was small and there were only three people in it, it felt cozy.After dinner, Iris washed the dishes while the elderly couple retired to their room early.When she was done with the dishes, Iris went into her room and lay down. She felt a bit awkward; s

Iris did not expect Liandra to bring up a topic that was so helpful to the case right away."Can I record this?" she asked.Liandra nodded softly.Iris retrieved a recording pen from her bag.Liandra continued, speaking despite her dry lips, "She wants all their marital assets. She never considered my feelings or how my life would be affected. In her eyes, all that matters is money."Her voice was low and hoarse, filled with profound despair and sorrow."She has never shown any concern for me, nor even a hint of love. Mother? I've never had a mother in my life."Iris listened in silence.Liandra released her pent-up frustration and dissatisfaction. "People say that mothers are the most unselfish people in the world, but I've never felt a hint of warmth from my mother. My entire life, I've never been loved..."She didn't cry; she simply narrated her experiences with a numb expression.Iris' gaze fell on Liandra's right wrist, which was unbandaged.Liandra had attempted suicid

However, when the prosecutor suggested that Liandra's suicide was due to the defendant's assault, Iris immediately protested. She knew this was not the case and presented evidence: the property sales contract of Liandra's first house, the purchase contract for the second house, and details about the difficulties she faced at work. These factors were the real cause behind Liandra's tragic decision to end her life. Ultimately, it was the indifference of those closest to her despite knowing what was done to her and the harm they caused her that made her feel life was meaningless, driving her to attempt suicide.After noticing the scars on Liandra's wrists, Iris had consulted with her primary doctor. The doctor revealed that the oldest scar on Liandra's right wrist was from three years ago. Aside from the recent life-threatening wound on her left wrist, there were several other scars on both wrists. She had attempted suicide a total of nine times.The prosecutor protested, "That doesn'

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
Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 508
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
