Chapter 443

Author: Hauling Treasures
Iris rushed out of the bedroom and into the living room, her heart racing with the hope of escape. However, the metal gate in the yard was tightly locked, and the walls were much taller than the usual yard walls.

Looking up, all she could see was the vast sky.

She frantically kicked the large metal gate.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!!!

Ted stood on the steps at the doorway, calmly watching her for several seconds before slowly walking down. "Stop wasting your energy. You'll never get out."

Iris glared at him with hatred. Ignoring him, she continued trying to kick the gate open.

"This gate is reinforced, and the lock I used is top-notch. The walls are ten feet high. You can't escape. The location of this house is very remote, so even if you scream your lungs out, no one can hear you."

The houses in the village were scattered. There were houses at the foot of the mountain, on the mountain top, and halfway up the mountain. Each house was far apart. The one he bought was especially remot

    Iris' eyes widened, fearful and anxious. "I-I beg you, I beg you..."Knowing she wouldn't die, she had to compromise. She could not be defiled. She could not!Ted was visibly stunned. He didn't expect Iris to actually beg for mercy. Or rather, he didn't expect Iris' attitude to change so quickly. He was at a loss. He wanted to continue, but his heart softened when he saw Iris' pitiful face.This was the woman he had loved for many years. Of course he would prefer it if she would willingly be with him."Will you consider being my woman?" he asked hopefully.Iris shrank back. She had no choice but to try to buy time to protect herself. "Mmh."Ted immediately smiled, "Really?"He was excited. "I knew you would change your mind. I'm not inferior to Stanley in any way. As for Jason Just, you've only known him for a short time, while you've known me for years. Of course we're more compatible."Iris' body stiffened from the cold."Can you untie my hands?" she asked with a pleadin

    "Do you have cold medicine?" Iris asked. She didn't want to fall ill."No," Ted hadn't prepared those things yet."Can you go buy some for me?" she returned to the room, "And also get me some clothes. I have nothing to wear.""I've prepared clothes for you, they're all in the closet," Ted wanted to spend a long time with her, so he had prepared all the necessities for her.Iris nodded. She wanted to change clothes, but Ted stood at the doorway, showing no intention of leaving. Iris tightly grabbed her bathrobe, "Can you step out for a moment?"Ted didn't reply but took a step back. Iris went to the door to close it.Ted suddenly grabbed her wrist."What are you doing?" Iris exclaimed in surprise."Call me when you're done changing," he slowly let go of her hand."Okay," she said. She locked the door, but still didn't feel safe. She quickly found some suitable clothes in the closet and changed. After tidying up, she opened the door.Seeing her being so honest, Ted's expressi

    Stanley's car hit the railing.He angrily got out of the car and kicked Samuel's car, but Samuel ignored him and drove away, leaving Stanley standing frustrated. Stanley's car was damaged, so he had to call someone to pick him up. Meanwhile, Jason had reached the informant's house. He posted a lot of rewards online. Anyone providing information would receive a reward of $15,000, with an additional $150,000 for useful information. This caused a frenzy online, sparking a large-scale search for Ted and Iris.Many people provided information, and after screening, some were found to be useful. For example, the information provided by the man Jason was meeting was particularly promising. The man's family raised ducks. Duck farms were smelly, so they were usually located in remote places.This man's remote duck farm had surveillance cameras outside. Ted was caught on camera when he stopped to feed Iris. His face, car, and license plate could all be clearly seen in the surveillance fo

    If she wanted to escape, she must get the key that Ted kept in his pocket at all times.She must take the initiative.Not long after, Ted returned carrying an exquisite box filled with individually wrapped strawberries. The strawberries were big and ripe.He waved the box in front of Iris as if he was fishing for compliments. "Do you like these?"Iris nodded.Ted said, "I'll go wash them for you."He went to the kitchen. Iris' smile faded. She turned around to look at Ted, her hands slowly clenching.A while later, Ted walked over with the washed strawberries. He sat next to Iris, took one, and offered it to her, saying, "Try it."Iris opened her mouth and ate the strawberry he fed her. Ted was very pleased and fed her another one.Iris behaved obediently all day.Even though she felt extreme disgust inside, she kept a smile on her face.Ted was in a good mood. Because of that, he untied Iris' hands.Iris' wrists were in pain as she had been tied up for days. The skin

    Ted pried her arm off. When he saw the syringe in her hand, his face contorted in rage. "Iris!" He angrily grabbed her throat. "Why are you doing this to me? Haven't I been kind enough to you? Yet, all you do is hurt me!"Iris gasped for air, her face turning red, but she managed to squeeze out the words, "By being kind... to me... do you mean... confining me...?" She would rather not have this kind of kindness!"Fine, since you're doing this to me, I no longer have any reason to hold back. You'll never reciprocate my love. In that case, I have nothing to look forward to. I don't have to care how you feel anymore!"Ted's face turned extremely sinister, more menacing than ever before. "I care for you, but you always try to hurt me..."Iris couldn't be bothered listening to his nonsense. She kicked him away and ran to the bathroom. She had to get the key to open the gate to escape.Ted's worn clothes were in the laundry basket. She frantically searched through them.She found

    Before Ted could even react, he was lifted up by the back of his collar like a chick and sent flying with a kick!He collided with the coffee table with a loud crash and fell to the floor. He curled up in pain, trembling.Iris' clothes were torn open, her shoulders exposed... Jason took off his coat and covered her, gently picking her up.Iris thought the person in front of her looked familiar, but her vision was blurry. After a while, her vision cleared...It was Jason."You're here," she rasped.She had been confined for several days, but she hadn't cried once. However, at the sight of Jason, all her strength and composure crumbled in an instant, and she hugged his neck tightly.Jason carried her into the car, "I'm sorry I'm late." Iris shook her head in his arms. "No, you're not late..."She was just glad he was able to find her.He came just in time.She really thought she was going to be defiled.Thank goodness, thank goodness... he came.Jason gently stroked her

    Unfortunately, he was a step too late."Where's Iris?!" Stanley rushed into the house. Not finding her, he confronted Jason, blocking his way. "Where's Iris?"Jason just looked at him coldly.Not getting the answer he wanted, Stanley turned his gaze to Ted. His hands clenched into fists.He grabbed Ted by the collar. Ted was barely hanging on, so he was powerless to resist.Stanley's eyes turned bloodshot, "Ted, you lowlife. Just because you couldn't win Iris' heart, you resorted to such despicable means. Looks like prison hasn't reformed you. In that case, let me teach you a lesson instead!"A heavy punch landed on Ted's face. Ted passed out cold.Jason was annoyed by Stanley's late and unnecessary actions. "Samuel, take him away."Samuel had his subordinates move Ted into his car. "Where's Iris?" Stanley pressed on.Jason raised his eyebrows, "What right do you have to ask?"Stanley had no answer. He pursed his lips, then said, "I just want to know if she's okay."

    Iris blushed.He didn't say anything inappropriate, but it sounded really inappropriate.She coughed lightly to hide her embarrassment, "I... I just wanted to see if you were awake... It's not like I wanted to touch you."Because she felt guilty, her voice got quieter as she spoke.Jason's smile grew wider.She tried to pull her hand back. "When are we going home?""Tomorrow. Get some rest today."Jason wouldn't let her hand go, instead rubbing his face against her palm.He accidentally touched the wound on her wrist.Iris winced in pain."Sorry...""It's okay." Iris forced a smile.The smile faded from Jason's face. He held her hand with care, gently stroking her wrist. "Does it still hurt?""No, not anymore." Iris shook her head. Eyelashes fluttering, she asked, "How did you find this place?"It must have been really difficult. She knew how careful Ted was when he brought her there.Even she had no idea where the place was.Jason held her hand in his palm, rubbing it.

    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
