Donahue was speechless.What an explosive temper!Would this kind of situation become a daily occurrence?Turning to Jason in shock, he asked, "Why did you kick me? When did you become so violent? Also, that was just a strategy. Strategy, understand? I need to pretend to be Fiora's ally to get along with her. You need to be the bad guy so that we have something to talk about and bond over. You've seen her foul temper; I need to pull some tricks to placate her, or I'll have chaos every day."Jason shot him a cold glare. "Don't bullshit her."Donahue rubbed his backside while saying, "Do you want me to take you to the airport?""No need," Jason answered. He looked at Fiora's door and said, "She's innocent, so don't tell her something like that. She'll actually believe you."Donahue nodded. "Alright, alright. I'll tell my driver to take you to the airport."Jason agreed with a slight nod. When he got into the car, he suddenly remembered his phone was still in the study. "Samuel,

Iris and Yvonne were talking to Professor Sandler at the hospital.Professor Sandler wanted Yvonne to get married, but he disapproved of her choice in Henry.He looked worried."You two are the same kind of people. What are you gonna do after you get married? Each having fun on your own? What's the point of getting married then? Just stay single."The reason he wanted Yvonne to get married was because he wanted to see Yvonne settle down, not cause more trouble."Grandpa, don't worry. Henry and I are like-minded, so we have a lot of common topics and common interests. When two people like that live together, they'll live harmoniously without a lot of conflicts. Isn't marriage all about spending your life with someone compatible?" Yvonne reassured him while peeling him an orange."Oranges are in season. This one should be very sweet." She offered him a slice.Professor Sandler ate it and looked at his granddaughter, "After you and Henry get married, what will you talk about? Which

Professor Sandler said with a smile, "Not long after I fell sick, Ol' Aston came to see me. He told me something..."Iris immediately knew what he wanted to tell her. "You want to tell me about the article, right?"Surprised, Professor Sandler asked, "How do you know?""I overheard you telling Jason about it the other day," Iris admitted. "Learning the truth about that incident made me realize I want to be with Jason. I missed my chance before, and I don't want to let it slip away again."That was her honest feeling.She had not even told her parents that. Professor Sandler was more understanding than her parents. Even though he truly wanted her to go out with Jason, he never pressured her, nor had he tried to interfere. She felt more pressure from her parents.Therefore, she was more willing to share her honest feelings with Professor Sandler. Professor Sandler was stunned."Who would have thought Ol' Aston would actually do a good deed for once in his life."If Professo

Cassie was grateful to Professor Sandler for taking good care of her daughter.Cassie and Dennis lacked connections and education. They knew Iris' success was in large part due to Professor Sandler's support.Cassie may be ignorant, but she wasn't ungrateful."He's doing better.""Which hospital is he in? Your dad and I will go visit him," Cassie said.Iris told her the address, and Cassie jotted it down.They soon reached home. Cassie clicked her tongue when she saw the newly renovated interior. It was the same house, but no trace of the past remained.She set the food down on the table. "Come and eat, Iris.""I'm not hungry yet; I'll eat later," Iris replied, pouring water for her mother. "I was actually going to call you guys.""Why? Did something happen?" Cassie asked, accepting the glass but not taking a sip. Instead, she looked around the house."This place looks even better than before," she remarked."Mom, I'm going to Southerland tomorrow for a case," Iris said.Ca

Iris' phone was in her handbag. She retrieved it, unlocked the screen, pulled up the chat, and replied with a simple "Okay."She didn't get Jason's hint. Even if she did, it was too late; she had booked her ticket to Southerland before she even received his message.After sending the reply, she set her phone down, walked over to the table, and unpacked the food her mother brought.It was her favorite: steak and kidney pie. Homemade pies were always superior to store-bought ones. She heated it in the oven and savored the taste. It was as delicious as she remembered.Once she finished eating, she cleaned up, took a hot shower, and lit some sleep-inducing incense. She wanted to get a good night's sleep because she knew she would be busy starting from tomorrow.The aromatic scent helped her drift off quickly, but her sleep remained shallow.Early the next morning, she arrived at the airport, checked in her luggage, and waited for her flight. To pass the time, she reviewed case file

"If you want to call for help, then forget it. That mouth stays sealed."Ted stretched lazily. After planning for so long, the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He had a lot of things to say to her but he was exhausted. He had been secretly following her for quite some time, so he hadn't been eating or sleeping well.He locked the door, closed the windows, drew the curtains, and lay down on the bed. "Is it okay for me to sleep on your bed?" he grinned maliciously.A chill ran down Iris' spine.He greedily inhaled the pillow's scent. "Did you sleep with this pillow last night? I think I can smell your scent on it. By sleeping in your bed, aren't I indirectly sleeping with you?""Do you sleep with clothes on?" His gaze was uncomfortably intense, making her skin crawl.Ted was behaving like a predator. No, he was a predator. "We have plenty of time. After I take a nap, we can slowly catch up," he said, enunciating each word with a threatening edge.He hugged t

Ted was disappointed to hear a woman's voice.If the caller was a man who had a relationship with Iris, Ted could have had some fun fooling him, whoever it was, but it turned out to be a woman. He instantly lost interest and casually hung up the phone.When Fiora heard the beeps of the call being ended, she frowned. It was so rude of the guy to hang up without clarifying who he was. She called the number again in irritation.The moment Ted put the phone down, it rang again. He checked, and it was the same number.He answered, and Fiora's angry voice came through, "I've never met anyone as rude as you. Are you a mute? Is that why you can't talk?!"Ted was perplexed.In the past two years, what kind of company had Iris been keeping? Were they all so rude?!"Why aren't you saying anything?" Fiora asked.The longer he remained silent, the more she wanted to know who he was.Ted narrowed his eyes. "What do you want?""What do I want? Shouldn't that be my question? Why did you call

Iris could not believe how twisted his heart was.He was clearly the one who wronged her first.But now wasn't the time to argue about such things. Provoking him wouldn't do any good."Was I not kind enough to you? I love you so much, but you refuse to even look at me. You refuse to accept my love. Tell me, what's wrong with me? Huh?!"Iris could only feel intense pain. Her jawbone felt like it was being crushed. She struggled to squeeze out words from her throat, "You're great. I've always thought so...""Then why don't you love me?!""We're not... destined... to be...""I knew you before Stanley did. How are we not destined to be together?"Due to the pain, Iris' forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat."Ted, I beg you... please let me go..."Ted looked into her eyes, hesitated for two seconds, then slowly released his grip.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Ted immediately became alert. He walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?""Food delivery."Ted gentl

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
