Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 43
From the moment Ted entered, Stanley's gaze never left him.Ted took a seat and asked, "Why are you staring at me? Is there something on my face?"Stanley remained silent, merely picking up a glass of water and taking a sip.Looking at Stanley, Lester sighed internally. Stanley had invited everyone to dinner today after he saw the picture of Iris getting into Ted's car yesterday. These two things were clearly related.Stanley probably wanted to know what transpired after Ted drove Iris home.Lester decided to bring it up himself. "Ted, did Iris arrive home safely last night?"Ted leaned back in his chair, responding confidently, "Of course."He then glanced at Stanley, feeling unhappy at the thought of Iris living near Stanley's law firm. Perhaps Iris couldn't move on that easily because they were together for seven years. Did she still have feelings for Stanley?To ease his own discomfort, he stood up, opened a bottle of wine, and poured himself a glass before pouring one for

"Fuck off," Henry shot back, glaring at Lester. "When have I ever gotten worked up over a woman? It's just a fling."Ted, unable to tolerate their banter any longer, stood up. "Excuse me.""Hey, don't go. You haven't eaten anything yet," Lester called after him. "This is just how Henry is, you know that."Ted said, "I'm not staying to listen to this.""Alright, I'll shut up," Henry agreed, also feeling the conversation had become tedious.Buzz...Stanley's phone rang, and he glanced at the screen. It was Fiora. He immediately hung up.Lester gestured at the phone with his chin and asked, "Stanley, are you just appeasing your mother, doing it out of spite, or are you serious?"He paused, then continued, "Fiora Just seems to really like you. How many years has it been? She’s still so devoted to you. Do you think she came back from abroad because she found out about your divorce?"All of them had heard about Fiora's feelings for Stanley.Stanley remained silent. He had indeed ag

Before Iris could see who had approached her, she was enveloped in a big hug. "Thank you, Ms. Glover! I followed your advice, and that woman immediately wanted to settle with me – I don't have to apologize or pay compensation anymore!" the woman exclaimed gratefully.Iris recognized her as the client from earlier in the day. She smiled and replied, "I’m glad I could help.""You gave me such great advice," the woman continued, her joy evident.Iris felt a sense of accomplishment from being able to help her."Can I treat you to a meal as a thank you?" the woman offered earnestly.Iris politely declined, "You really don’t have to. I'm just doing my job, and I'm a little busy right now."The woman shrugged, "Okay then."Iris nodded. The woman started walking away, but she suddenly paused, turned around, and said, "I'll introduce you to other clients.""Thank you, I appreciate that," Iris replied with a smile.After watching the woman leave, Iris adjusted her coat and walked down

Iris walked over and sat down across from Mike."What's the matter?" she asked, going straight to the point.Mike was three years younger than Yvonne. Yvonne said she liked that because young men have stronger hips.Mike was handsome and had a boyish charm. Yvonne had spent a lot of money on him."There's nothing between me and that girl, I swear. She likes me and confessed to me, but I didn’t accept her. Yvonne thinks I'm cheating on her..." Mike explained.At this point, Iris felt no desire to hear more. Having experienced betrayal herself, she could not tolerate unfaithful men. She trusted Yvonne's judgment and knew she wouldn’t have ended the relationship without solid evidence."You don’t have to explain to me," she said coldly, her tone devoid of warmth.Mike pressed his lips together. "I know it’s none of your concern, but Yvonne refuses to see me or listen to me. You’re her best friend; can you help me talk to her?"Iris replied firmly, "No."She would not interfere in

"I got tired of him, so I broke up with him. We're adults. Do I need any other reason?" Yvonne replied, her tone indifferent.Now it was Iris' turn to be confused. So, her night out at the bar yesterday wasn’t to heal from heartbreak?"What's the deal with you?" Iris asked."I'm not young anymore, and my family is pushing for marriage. There's no way I can marry Mike, and my family would never agree anyway. I didn't date him to marry him. Life was boring, so I needed some excitement. Besides, I treated him well when we were together. Now that I want to break up, he should be more considerate and stop clinging to me," Yvonne explained.Iris was impressed by Yvonne's carefree attitude. "Impressive," she said, giving her a thumbs up.She took out Mike's letter and handed it to Yvonne. "Mike asked me to give this to you."Yvonne took it and tore it up without a second glance.Iris was taken aback. With widened eyes, she asked, "Aren't you going to read it first?""I’ve already deci

Fiora sat down, picked up another set of cutlery, and tried a piece of ribs. However, she immediately spat it out. It was undercooked and tasted terrible. She couldn't even bite through it.Frowning, she exclaimed, "I did as the recipe said – why is it undercooked?""Let's just eat out," Stanley suggested, standing up.Fiora had hoped to impress him with her cooking skills, but she ended up embarrassing herself."You've never cooked before, so this is normal," Stanley assured her.Fiora pouted. "Cooking looks simple, but when you have to do it yourself, it's actually really difficult. You have to control the heat, know the exact order and amount of seasoning to use...""Is that so?" Stanley had never considered it, assuming women were naturally adept at cooking.Iris could already cook when she married him. In fact, she was an excellent cook, unlike Fiora.But it's understandable when he thought about it. Iris and Fiora came from vastly different backgrounds.Fiora was born w

Iris was washing the dishes when her phone suddenly rang. She wiped her hands and answered the call."Iris," Mike's voice came through, sounding nervous and anxious."What's the matter?" Iris' tone towards Mike had softened now that she knew it was Yvonne who had abandoned Mike."Are you at home?" he asked."Yes," Iris replied."Do you... do you know where your husband is?" Mike asked. He was unaware that Iris and Stanley had already divorced as Yvonne didn’t bother informing him.He didn't know how he should tell Iris about Stanley's infidelity.Iris seemed to have guessed something. "Did you see him?"There was a moment of hesitation on Mike’s end before he replied, "...Yes. He... he..."Iris was Yvonne's best friend, so Mike decided he must tell her the truth. "I'll send you a video; you can see for yourself." He quickly hung up, took a video of Stanley, and sent it to Iris.Iris opened the video and saw Stanley kissing a woman on the street, their lips tightly pressed tog

The woman brightened up again. "So, getting a divorce certificate is not the top priority. The key is to find a way to maximize the benefits.""Be patient when necessary, strike when the time is right," Iris advised. She looked at the asset list the woman had provided and was surprised to see the assets total tens of millions. She had to reassess her opinion of the woman.When they first met, the woman had dressed very plainly, likely because her husband had just cheated on her. Today, she had dressed casually too. It's almost impossible to tell that she possessed such wealth from her appearance.Iris was reminded of her former self. Once women married, they often prioritized their family, neglecting their own needs and desires.Having experienced similar struggles, Iris carefully devised a series of detailed plans for the client. She emphasized that now was not the right time for divorce; rather, she should secure the assets first.The woman fully agreed with Iris' strategy. "You

"Okay. Good night, Mr. Just," Iris said."See you tomorrow," he said."See you tomorrow."…Iris was jolted awake the next morning by her phone ringing. Groggy, she reached for it. "Hello...""My husband changed his mind. He refuses to settle or drop the case now."The client's voice sounded anxious.Iris was instantly wide awake.Why would he change his mind overnight? She was going to handle all the procedures today to avoid further complications too."What happened?" Iris sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Take your time and explain in detail.""I don't know either. He just messaged me saying he regrets signing the settlement agreement and he won't drop the case. But he already signed the agreement. He can't change his mind anymore, right?" The client still held a glimmer of hope.Iris replied, "He can still change his mind."Under normal circumstances, changing one's mind after signing would be difficult. However, since she had half-tricked him into signing the agreement, if

Iris nodded helplessly. "You shouldn't have answered the phone." She felt a headache coming.She wasn't blaming Jason; it's just impossible to explain to her mother now.Since Jason answered her phone this late at night, her mother naturally assumed that Jason had been with her all evening.That was indeed the case today, but it wasn't in the way her parents thought."I can go meet your parents with you," Jason offered.Iris was surprised. Huh?Does he even know what he's saying?"Do you know who my mom thinks you are?" she asked.How could he suggest that without knowing anything?"She thinks I'm your boyfriend, right?" Jason smirked mischievously. "If you don't take me to see them, they'll definitely ask you even more questions. Wouldn't that be troublesome for you?""Besides," he added, "We worked so well together earlier. We're very in sync, right?"Iris was speechless."Actually, all I have to do is explain to them...""What if they set you up on a blind date?" Jaso

After hanging up, as Jason was about to leave the car, he heard a phone ringing. He traced the sound to Iris' phone lying on the passenger seat. She had left her phone in his car.Picking it up, he noticed "Mother" displayed on the screen and smiled, recalling the enthusiastic woman he had met the other day. It seemed he had a reason to look for Iris now.He exited the car and took the elevator to the ground floor, then headed to the building across the street.While waiting for the elevator in Iris' building, Iris' phone rang again. Jason wondered if he should answer. Iris' mother was calling repeatedly in the middle of the night, so there might be an emergency. After some hesitation, he decided to answer.Before he could speak, Cassie's voice came through the line. "Iris, happy birthday! Your dad and I are so busy today that I only have time to call you now. When are you free to visit us for dinner? Call me before you come; we'll skip work that day and stay home to spend the

Stanley was furious. He felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing to his head. If he had held onto any hope before, it was gone now. He realized that Iris was genuinely leaving him and had no intention of returning to his side.No!He could not accept that!Inside the car, Iris fastened her seatbelt, unfazed by Stanley's roar. Jason glanced at her, noticing her calm demeanor, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He started the engine, and the car roared to life. He turned the steering wheel and pressed the gas pedal, and they drove away .Once they had left Riverside Pier, Iris said, "Thank you for acting with me."Jason's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Don't you think we have great chemistry?"Iris considered this for a moment. "Indeed. I always thought you were a very serious person. I didn't expect you to...""To what?" he asked, glancing at her.Iris brushed her hair. "Just now, when you called me 'babe', I got goosebumps. I can't believ

"I'll take you home," Jason offered.Iris nodded. Stanley couldn't stand it any more. Disregarding how bad it made him look, he rushed forward and grabbed Iris' wrist. "Iris..."Iris turned around, her expression cold. "Can I help you, Mr. Stein?"Her tone was icy, causing a pang in Stanley's chest. "H-happy birthday." His voice was hoarse. "Iris, I made a mistake. Let's get back together..."Jason instinctively tightened his grip on Iris' shoulder.Iris sneered, tilting her head with eyes full of coldness. "Since you wished me a happy birthday, let me make a wish: I hope you never appear before me again. I hope my wish will come true.""Iris," Stanley's voice cracked with emotion.Iris raised her eyebrows and said fiercely, "Let go of my hand!"Instead of releasing her, Stanley tightened his grip, the veins in his hand bulging.That hurt Iris' arm."Mr. Stein," Jason interjected, prying Stanley's hand away. "Stop bothering her. This is unbecoming of you.""She's my wife

On the shore, Yvonne urged Iris to leave.The other yacht was drawing closer to the dock, and if Iris lingered any longer, she would inevitably run into Stanley. It had truly been an unlucky day for Yvonne. Nothing was going smoothly. First came Jason, an unexpected guest, and now came Stanley, a harbinger of bad luck."Iris, why is the day of your birth so unlucky?" Yvonne complained. Iris looked perplexed. Right then, the other yacht docked. Henry was the first to jump off. He hurried over to Yvonne. "Hey! You're here too? Why didn’t you call me to join you? We could have come together."Yvonne glanced at the three women who followed him down from the yacht. All of them were flaunting their legs, their skirts barely covering their bottoms, and their cleavages were on full display with their low necklines. Yvonne scoffed, "Come together? That would have ruined your fun.""C'mon, I'm not serious with them," Henry replied. He approached Yvonne and reached for her sleeve. "

Actually, it wasn't that the parents absolutely couldn't afford to raise her, it was more because they wanted a son, but with the family planning policy, they couldn't afford the payment to give birth to one more child, so they left the girl to be raised by the grandparents.The little girl passed away without ever having been registered in the household registration; she was considered undocumented. Getting her registered would require money the family simply didn't have. Or, perhaps, they felt that it wasn't necessary since she was just a girl.The girl's aunt – her uncle's wife, who also lived with the girl's grandparents – was unhappy because there was suddenly an extra mouth to feed. The aunt treated the girl very poorly. According to neighbors, the girl was often beaten and denied food. The grandparents didn't dare speak up, fearing they would upset their daughter-in-law.According to the villagers, the aunt had attacked the girl that day because the girl had stolen some bread

Jason remarked, "In this world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness."He thought Iris' view was still overly idealistic. There was a large gap between the things taught in law school and the cases that happened in the real world. Sometimes, bending the rules was necessary to achieve certain objectives, not just for the sake of making things fairer. The world has never been fair, no matter in which country.Iris fell silent. She knew that the world had never truly been fair. Many individuals were constrained by circumstances from the moment they were born. Some emerged from impoverished rural areas, needing relentless perseverance to change their fates, while others were born into wealth and luxury, their starting point already an unattainable goal for many. How could this not be seen as unfair? Fairness was absent from the moment of one's birth.Yet, wasn't her initial aspiration to study law rooted in the pursuit of fairness? If not, what was the point of law?"Mr. Just,

His now wide open collar revealed his sexy, slender neck. His Adam's apple moved as he spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Are you really okay?"Iris nodded, avoiding his gaze; she didn't dare meet his eyes directly. His gaze felt too affectionate. Earlier, he mentioned that she resembled the love of his life. Maybe he saw her as a substitute for his unrequited love?Yes, it must be so; otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at her with that kind of expression.Phew~She assured herself that Jason couldn't possibly have feelings for someone like her. It was fortunate she had realized this in time, avoiding any presumptuous thoughts. She felt relieved that she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of him."Um..." Just then, Denise approached, intending to inform them that Yvonne wanted to leave. Upon reaching the sun deck, she immediately spotted Jason hugging Iris.She realized she was intruding.Quietly, she turned to leave.However, Iris had seen her. "Denise," Iris called out
