Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 365
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

So what if her engagement was called off? It was a blessing for her. Yet, she chose to wallow in misery and self-pity.After exiting the house, Jason walked to his car.Iris was waiting in the car for Brad. When she caught sight of Jason, she paused. It had been a month since she last saw him. He looked tired.She opened the car door and stepped out. "Mr. Just," she greeted him.He walked over when he saw her."I've been promoted," she shared the good news with him."Congratulations," Jason said, although he already knew.He stood before her, within arm's reach. They fell into a moment of silence, neither knowing what to say. Iris racked her brain for a topic, but Jason spoke first."As you know by now, being a lawyer isn't my main job. A lot of matters have piled up over the past year that need my attention, so I'll probably be leaving the law firm," he informed her with a smile.Iris was taken aback; she hadn't expected him to leave. Even after knowing that being a lawyer wa

Iris' gaze was unfocused, her surroundings blurring as the sound of the departing car faded into the distance. She never looked towards where the car disappeared."Iris," Brad jogged over, "Sorry to keep you waiting. Aunt Jessica insisted I take a rest and have a tea break. I couldn't refuse, but I came out as soon as I could."Iris didn't fully register his words; they were just a faint buzz in her ears. She opened the car door and slid inside, followed by Brad, who took the passenger seat. He glanced at her cautiously. "What's wrong?” he asked.Did he do something wrong? She looked upset.Iris started the car. Brad grabbed the steering wheel and asked, "Iris, are you mad at me?""No," she replied."Then why do you look upset?"She gently removed his hand from the wheel. "There's nothing to be happy about."Brad thought about it and realized there was indeed not much to be happy about.The car drove off, and neither of them spoke during the journey.Brad was tactful. He c

Brad was still holding onto the two tissues.He climbed into the car. He wanted to ask Iris what had upset her, but seeing her face, he found himself unable to bring it up.Iris restarted the car and merged into the flow of traffic. Suddenly, the phone she placed on the center console rang. Because Iris was driving, she connected the call to the car's Bluetooth system. She heard Cassie's excited voice say, "Iris, I took your father to the hospital for a follow-up today. Guess who I saw there?""Who?" Iris asked, her tone calm."Renee Stein," Cassie pronounced each syllable slowly before bursting into laughter.Even through the phone, Iris could sense the schadenfreude in her tone, and so could Brad."Why didn't you ask me what she was doing at the hospital?" Cassie asked, disappointed in Iris' lack of enthusiasm."I'm driving," Iris replied flatly."Oh, okay. Let me tell you, your ex-father-in-law is keeping a mistress. The mistress even had a baby! Renee Stein and the mistre

Iris surveyed the firm. Everyone seemed to be absorbed in their own tasks.However, she refused to let things slide. If she backed down now, people would just mess with her again.From now on, she could only rely on herself. To establish herself at the law firm, she had to be assertive; she couldn't be soft.She headed straight to the surveillance room and reviewed footage from that morning.Someone had indeed moved all that stuff to her desk. It was Astra Yorrick, a lawyer at the firm who often gossiped about Iris behind her back.Iris had worked at Golden Path for a year now, so she was familiar with the personnel there.Astra's abilities as a lawyer were lackluster, so she wasn't an important personnel at the firm. However, she loved to talk behind others' backs.Astra was already messing with Iris right after Jason's departure.Iris found it laughable.If she had so much free time, she should have used it to brush up her skills and knowledge as a lawyer. Instead, she chose

"Do you have evidence? Show me the evidence. You're a lawyer; you should know you must have evidence to make a claim. Where's your evidence?"Astra retorted, "You know it's true.""I don't know. You seem to know better than I do. Show me the evidence," Iris replied.She did not raise her voice even once. She kept her voice steady but her words sharp.Astra was merely talking bad about Iris because she was jealous. She naturally did not have any evidence."Why did you put these things on my desk?" she asked, attempting to change the subject.Iris scoffed, "You know why.""I don't," Astra said, glaring at Iris.Iris pressed, "Do you want me to show everyone the surveillance footage?"Astra fell silent, unable to counter.The reason she did not delete the surveillance footage was because she thought Iris would keep quiet even if she found out that Astra was the one messing with her since she no longer had any backing with Jason gone. Astra did not expect Iris to confront her so

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
