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
Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 361
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

Jason glanced up from his phone when he heard Iris' voice.She approached his desk and asked, "Do you have work for me?" A strange sense of distance lingered between them. He handed her a folder, saying, "You might find this useful."Iris accepted it. She couldn't quite grasp his intentions.Samuel was also present. He was packing.Iris asked, puzzled, "Are you going on a business trip?"Jason seemed busy. He lightly acknowledged her question without looking up.Iris pressed on, "Do you need my help?""No. Go back to work," Jason replied curtly without looking up. "Okay," Iris nodded and turned away.After she did, Jason finally looked up at her. He stared at her as she walked away. His calm eyes finally revealed subtle ripples of emotion. He swallowed hard and set his phone down.On the screen were records of his conversations with Iris. They hadn't been in contact much recently, so the messages were from before.Letting out a small sigh, Jason seemed lost in thought.

Iris was now able to handle cases independently as an official lawyer. She did not have to do so in secret anymore.Brad could also be her legitimate assistant now since official lawyers could mentor interns.Her first instinct upon receiving her official lawyer badge was to share the good news with Jason. However, when she pulled up their chat history, she realized the last message was sent a month ago. They hadn't contacted each other for a month.Her enthusiasm waned. Self-deprecation tugged at the corner of her lips. Why would she think of him?She set her phone down.Brad suddenly leaned on her desk, staring at her intently. "We've wrapped up the case, and I've worked hard to help you. Don't I deserve a treat?"Iris was startled by his sudden appearance and shot him a look. "I will — after we finish the second case."Brad pouted. "You're heartless, Iris. Please buy me a drink. It won't cost you much.""I can't hold my liquor. If you want a drink, I'll transfer the money to

A girl went up to Brad to flirt with him. While he was distracted, Iris went to the restroom.When she came out of the cubicle, she saw Fiora applying makeup in front of the mirror.When Fiora saw Iris from the reflection in the mirror, her hand that was applying lipstick paused. She put away the lipstick and turned to face Iris.Now that Iris knew Fiora was Jason's sister, and given her brother's support in her work, Iris was keen to avoid any conflict with her.While Iris washed her hands at the sink, Fiora continued to stare at her with crossed arms. Just as Iris was about to leave, Fiora spoke up, "Stanley and I have canceled our engagement. Will you remarry him?"Iris replied, "No.""I don't believe you," Fiora said, grabbing her arm. "You persuaded him to cancel the engagement, didn't you?"Iris turned to face her. "A woman of your status can have any man you want. Why would you choose him? He's not worthy of your love. You deserve someone better...""I can't control who

Fiora settled down at a nearby table and ordered a drink, choosing to drink alone.Brad remarked, "That girl has no brain."Iris asked, "Who are you talking about?""Not you, don't get me wrong. I mean that wealthy young lady over there. She's alone in a place like this, yet she's drinking so much," Brad said.Iris discreetly glanced in Fiora's direction. She silently retracted her gaze. Tilting her chin, she said to Brad, "Dance for me again. I want to watch."Brad asked, "Is there a reward?"Iris replied, "Who's mentoring you at the law firm...""Stop," Brad interrupted. "You win."He had to admit that if it weren't for Iris mentoring him, he wouldn't have lasted long in the law firm.With a chuckle, he asked, "Do you want to see a sexy dance or a powerful dance?"Iris thought for a moment and said, "Sexy."As Brad walked onto the dance floor, so did Fiora. She swayed unsteadily, clearly having had too much to drink. Brad shook his head. He pulled her aside and told her,

Jessica was stunned by the revelation. "What did you say? Iris is Stanley Stein's ex-wife?"Jason confirmed, "Yes.""Wh-what? How?" Jessica leaned back on the couch holding her forehead as she processed the information. She remained in that pose for a long time.After a while, she finally said, "If you've decided to break up with her, then so be it. If not, things could get really messy." She actually quite liked Iris.But not only was she a divorcee, she was also Stanley Stein's ex-wife?Fiora had been feeling really down lately after her engagement was called off. If Iris joined their family, it would send their family into chaos."If only you had met her first. If only she was unrelated to Stanley Stein," Jessica sighed, though she knew these "what ifs" were pointless."You..." Jessica thought about a lot of things, but she came to realize that the most important thing was how Jason felt. She looked at Jason and asked, her voice slightly hoarse, "Is she really the girl in t

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. I

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
