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

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

Jason suddenly caressed her cheek, cutting her short. The unexpected contact made her body tremble a little and tightened her throat, leaving her momentarily unable to make a sound. His hand moved down, warm fingertips caressing her lips. His tall figure leaned in, effectively trapping her in the corner. The confined space was filled entirely with his scent.His breath approached her ear, and Iris instinctively turned her face away, but his kiss landed on her neck instead. "Mr. Just, please don't..."When she turned her head, Jason captured her lips with his own. After coming back to her senses, Iris pushed against his strong chest, "Mmmh..."The previous times he had kissed her, he had been polite and nonintrusive, so they had not made her feel uncomfortable. However, this kiss was deep, hard, and aggressive. Iris found it impossible to push him away; he felt like an immovable mountain, forcing her to endure the moment.Perhaps due to the small space or perhaps due to Jason's sedu

When Jason's gaze turned to her, Iris instinctively moved her hand that was holding her clothes behind her back. Awkwardness tugged at the corner of her lips.Jason noticed her subtle movements and smiled faintly.Iris ignored him. She knew that if she told him she wanted to leave, Jason wouldn't take her home. They were too far from the city center, so it would be difficult for her to go home without a car. Therefore, she turned her focus to Jason's mother."Jessica, could your driver take me home?" Iris asked.Jessica was surprised by the request. She looked at her son.Jason simply said, "I'll take you home after the meal."With her son's response, Jessica naturally wouldn’t insist on sending Iris home."There's no rush." She held Iris' hand, saying comfortingly, "There's no need to feel awkward. I happen to be the only one home today. Since we already know each other so well, surely you wouldn't mind sharing a meal with me, right?"Iris opened her mouth but found herself un

Iris completely ignored the latter part of her words, focusing solely on the earlier part.He hadn't been in the country much until this year.His family had a vast enterprise.It seemed he wasn't just a lawyer. Even a top-tier lawyer couldn't own such a lavish mansion. There were clearly secrets about him, and she realized she didn't know much about him at all."I look like the woman of his dreams, right?" Iris suddenly blurted out.He probably stayed in the country and worked at the law firm just to get closer to her.Jessica was stunned. "Iris, you've misunderstood..."Before she could explain, Jason returned. He set down his phone. He seemed to have grasped the situation here. Pulling out a chair, he sat down.Jessica was flustered, worried she had said something wrong. If their relationship soured because of her, or worse, if they broke up because of her, she would feel so guilty. It's not like she was afraid of her son being upset with her; she would just be really mad

Iris replied, "I believe you."Honestly, it didn't really matter. So what if the person in the photo was her?"Does your mother know that I'm Stanley Stein's ex-wife? When she finds out, will she accept me as her daughter-in-law? When your sister finds out, will she accept me as her sister-in-law?" Iris turned to Jason. "I can't stand lies, in any form, even if you have a thousand reasons for lying."He should have told her that his sister was Fiora Just. He should have told her that he wasn't just a lawyer — no, that being a lawyer was his least important identity.She didn't know anything about him, yet she naively dated him. She thought she had found a kindred spirit who was passionate about the law like she was, but it turned out she was wrong. "Lies?" Jason asked, puzzled. "What did I say that was a lie?""When I agreed to date you, you should have been honest about your identity, your background, and your sister's relationship with Stanley Stein. You should have told me ev

When Iris closed the door to her house, she felt completely drained. Her body felt empty and weak. Leaning against the door, she slowly slid down to the floor. Her mind went blank, and everything around her looked surreal. She didn't think about anything, yet thought of so much.The moments spent with Jason replayed in fragmented pieces in her mind.She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had told him her decision, and Jason had accepted it without any fuss. She should be feeling relieved, yet her heart felt heavy.After a while, she managed to gather herself and shuffled over to the couch, carelessly tossing the bag onto it. She felt like a limp puppet collapsing into the cushions.She hadn't done much, yet an overwhelming fatigue washed over her.She felt so tired.Her eyes were unfocused as she stared numbly at the wall.Suddenly, the doorbell rang, pulling her from her daze. She shifted her gaze towards the entrance, and the doorbell rang again.Summoning her energy,

Iris' expression turned serious. "You have to genuinely like this job to do well."Brad smiled. He was actually becoming interested in this job. He found it fun.They left for the law firm together in Brad's car. While Brad went to park the car, Iris waited at the entrance.While Iris was waiting for Brad, Liandra approached her. She told Iris that the court had ordered her mother to pay her, and she planned to leave once she received the money. Iris wished her well, and Liandra thanked her before walking away.Brad saw Liandra leaving. He asked Iris, "What was she here for?""Nothing much," Iris replied before walking into the law firm. She stood by the elevator waiting for it to arrive, and Brad stood beside her. "What a poor girl," he remarked.Iris kept quiet. Brad tilted his head, observing her. "You have such a cold heart, Iris." He found her unbelievably composed. Yes, she helped Liandra, but she had not shown Liandra any pity despite Liandra's tragic circumstances.Iri

Brad arrived at Iris' house precisely at ten past seven. Holding the lunchbox, he rang the doorbell. Iris had just woken up, still in her pajamas, and wondered who could possibly be at the door this early. Sometimes, if she weren't driving, Brad would pick her up at around ten to eight. He wouldn't come this early.When she opened the door, she found him dressed in smart casual attire — a suit jacket, trousers, and white sneakers. In the past, he would wear cool attires like casual pants with a hoodie or a leather jacket, but after accompanying Iris to court on formal occasions, he had adapted his wardrobe considerably. Although he still felt uncomfortable in formal wear, he looked much more mature than before."You're here so early?" Iris asked, surprised."When you're busy, you never eat properly," Brad replied, entering without hesitation. He knew the passcode to her house anyway, so he made himself at home. He walked directly to the dining table. "Go freshen up and change yo

"Are you really going to take on that case, by the way?" Brad asked Iris.Iris asked him back, "Why shouldn't I?""This kind of case could go viral online and attract public scrutiny. I'm worried you'll face backlash. Many people these days lack critical thinking and just follow the crowd," Brad expressed.Iris responded firmly, "I'm a lawyer. I just need to fulfill my duties and do my job well. If I have to weigh the pros and cons before taking on every case..." she turned to him, adding, "What would be the point of doing this job?"Brad fell silent for a moment, then conceded, "Yes, you're right. Don't worry, I'll be at your side."Iris poured cold water on his enthusiasm. "I don't need you to be at my side. You need to go independent.""I don't want to," Brad said, sticking close to her, as if afraid of being left behind."What? Are you just going to cling to me?" she asked."Yes, I am," he chuckled."By the way, I need some fruits but I don't have time to go to the superma

Brad was right, Fiora knew that now. Yet her personality made it difficult for her to apologize and admit her mistakes. When Brad tried to take a sip of water, she snatched the glass from him.Brad looked at her, speechless. Fiora lifted her chin defiantly. "Whether he cares about me or not is none of your business."Brad wanted to ask her if her head had been kicked by a donkey. Instead, he said, "Alright, think what you want. I'm not your brother; I'm not gonna worry about you."Unintentionally, his words elicited a silent reaction from Iris, who lowered her gaze."My brother is overseas dealing with his heartbreak; he doesn't have time to worry about me," Fiora lamented. "I wonder if all the luck in our family has gone to the financial side. Is that why we're so unlucky in everything else? Half a year ago, my brother announced that he had a girlfriend. My mom had even met her and apparently really liked her, but then it all fell apart. My love life is rocky, and my brother's is

Iris said, "Just shut up and order."Brad obediently picked up the menu.Fiora watched the exchange, somewhat shocked at how readily Brad complied with Iris' command.Before this, she and Brad had looked down on each other, and their mutual disdain was evident. She had always thought Brad was too wild and could not be easily controlled, yet here he was, completely under Iris' command. She wondered how Iris had managed to subdue such a wilful young man, especially given Brad's less-than-ideal character.Having spent considerable time with Iris, Brad knew her preferences in food. He ordered the dishes he knew she liked, along with some of his own favorites, before turning to Fiora. "What would you like?""Anything," Fiora replied, prompting Brad to place a random order for her.While they waited for the food, Fiora broached the topic that lingered between them. "About what happened before...""Let's not dwell on the past," Iris interjected. To her, an apology from Fiora held littl

Iris didn't stop. She felt that they weren't acquainted so there was nothing to talk about.Fiora chased after her, tugging on Brad's arm as she ran past him. "Help me out."Brad thus followed behind her, saying, "If she doesn't want to talk to you, don't force her..."Fiora shot him an annoyed glare. Brad was speechless. Why did she glare at him? She was still the same spoiled brat."Wait, I'm not here to be your enemy," Fiora called as she caught up with Iris.Iris had to cross the street, but the continuous flow of traffic forced her to stop, giving Fiora a chance to catch up to her."I just want to apologize," Fiora said.Iris turned back in surprise. Those unexpected words caught her off guard. She did not expect it from Fiora at all.Why would Fiora suddenly apologize to her?"I know Stanley's married now. He married that evil woman," Fiora continued.Learning that Stanley had married Wendy had changed Fiora's opinion of Iris, but it wasn't until last night that she t

When Iris opened the door, she was shocked to see that it was Samuel. "What are you doing here?" she asked, puzzled.Samuel replied, "Mr. Just is not in the country. He asked me to check on you. Do you need anything?"Jason had seen Iris' message, but she had deleted it before he could listen to it. Concerned about her, had sent Samuel to check if everything was alright since he was abroad.Iris tightened her grip on the doorknob. Something stirred in the bottom of her heart. She tried to sound calm as she said, "I'm fine.""I'll be in the country all month. If you need anything, feel free to call me," Samuel said, handing her his business card. "Here's my contact."Iris hesitated for a moment before taking it."Are you sure you're fine?" Samuel asked, noticing her pale complexion.Though Iris had forgotten about her stomach pain because she was preoccupied with her thoughts, her complexion gave away her condition. She forced a nod. "I'm fine. Really."Samuel studied her for a

Iris walked out of the shop with the cake in hand. When she spotted Renee, she ignored her.Renee finally recognized the qualities Iris possessed when she compared Iris to Wendy — Iris was cultured, well-mannered, polite and respected her elders."Iris," Renee called out involuntarily.Iris merely looked back for a second before getting into her car.Renee stood frozen in a daze. If Iris were still her daughter-in-law, she mused, she wouldn't have to endure this humiliation. A shiver ran down her spine at the thought of Wendy. She perceived Wendy as a devil. Wendy was the most evil person she had ever seen! She couldn't imagine how a person could be that evil.Yet, Renee never considered her own flaws while judging others.Renee's unexpected appearance did not make Iris feel anything. She entered a restaurant's private room with the cake. The private room was filled with Brad's friends. They were playfully teasing him, saying, "You don't race with us anymore. You barely even ha

Wendy stood up and gestured to the various luxury items she had purchased, sprawled across the couch. "Bring them up for me," she commanded, treating Renee like a servant."In your dreams!" Renee yelled back defiantly.Wendy leaned casually against the staircase railing, her expression filled with contempt. Cold and calculating, she resembled a predator, no trace of weakness remaining."Don't waste your breath with empty threats. You can't do anything to me. If anything happens to me, that video of you murdering someone will land in the police's hands. That boy will also receive a copy. When he learns who killed his mother after he grows up, there's no way he'll spare you. He'll send the Stein family into chaos. The video will also be leaked to the media, exposing your crime to the world. It'll become a scandal for the Stein family, and the family business' stocks will plummet as a result. And your dear husband, the person you care about the most? When he finds out that his lover di

Iris was in no mood to talk. Yvonne shook her gently, asking, "Do you want me to take you out to relax?""Not interested," Iris replied, looking visibly exhausted.When the takeout arrived, she only picked at her food, taking just a few bites before losing interest.It wasn't that the food wasn't tasty; she simply had no appetite.Yvonne received a phone call. She asked Iris if she wanted to join her. Iris declined."Then I'll see you next time," Yvonne said while getting up."Mmh," Iris responded absentmindedly.After Yvonne left, Iris packed up the food and decided to go to bed early.The day of the trial arrived as scheduled. Despite her best efforts, the trial proved challenging, and the outcome was not what she had hoped for. The client commented, "Honestly, it's better than what I expected. There's a big difference between five years and ten years. I'll reform well, show good behavior, and try to get released early."Iris remained silent. The outcome wasn't satisfactor
