Chapter 471

Author: Hauling Treasures
"Hi, Iris," Mike stood up to greet her.

Mike did not look too happy. However, he kept his cool. He was still very polite.

"Are you okay?" Iris asked.

Mike nodded. "I'm fine."

This was Yvonne's wedding; he wouldn't make a scene.

As long as she was happy, he would offer his sincerest blessings.

Iris felt bad for him.

Mike was such a good man, but Yvonne didn't appreciate him.

"This big sister will take care of you from now on," Denise patted Mike's shoulder.

Mike smiled bitterly and turned towards the stage.

The bride made her entrance.

Today, Yvonne was very beautiful.

Iris stole a glance at Mike.

There was a mix of helplessness and bitterness in his eyes. When Luka handed his daughter's hand to Henry, Mike took a deep breath.

Iris turned her gaze back to the stage.

Henry was smiling from ear to ear, a stark contrast to Mike's mood.

The wedding venue was beautifully decorated. Yvonne was the type of person who didn't fuss over details, so she kept the ceremony simple.

    Stanley kept his cool and did not get into a huge argument with Yvonne.But Yvonne had a difficult temperament. When it was time for her to toast him, she refused to pour the wine."You don't deserve to receive my toast, scum." After saying that, she dragged Henry to another table."Stanley, don't mind her. You know how she is...""I couldn't care less." Stanley was indeed not mad.He wanted to reconcile with Iris, so he naturally wouldn't want to become enemies with Yvonne.After the banquet, Iris pushed Professor Sandler out of the venue. When she saw Mike and Denise leaving together, she quickly retracted her gaze."You said you had something to discuss with me. What is it?" Professor Sandler asked.Iris explained, "My cousin went abroad for a job opportunity but it turned out to be a scam. You know a lot of people. Can you help me find her?"Professor Sandler frowned, "I know quite a few people in the legal field, but this is an international crime; I'm afraid there's not

    However, she did sympathize with Vince because he, like herself, also had an ignorant mother."Mom, try to persuade Aunt Kendra to go home. Let Vince and Elise stay here for now. Just tell her that I'll call her immediately when I have news," Iris said.Being apart would give them the chance to calm down."Good idea," Cassie agreed with Iris' plan."Does Yvonne look beautiful today?" Cassie asked.Iris nodded, "Very beautiful.""Yvonne used to be a non-marriageist, but even she's married now. On the other hand, you...""Mom, I'm really tired. Can we not talk about this right now?" Iris said, irritated."Alright, alright. I'll go persuade your aunt." She walked to the door, then turned back, "The beef bone soup is ready. It's in the pot, still hot. Put it in a thermos yourself and bring it to your friend in the hospital.""Okay," Iris replied.She composed herself and walked out. The living room was empty. Cassie was in another room, trying to persuade Kendra.Vince and Elise

    "Miss Glover...""It's something personal," Iris cut him off.She didn't know what to tell him. She had various concerns.Her feelings for Jason weren't strong enough to make her dive into their relationship recklessly, irrationally, and without regard for everything.She had done so once, and it had ended in failure.As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy.Perhaps she was afraid.Afraid of being betrayed.Afraid that Jason's family wouldn't accept her or like her."Is no one taking care of you tonight? I'll hire a caregiver for you...""No, it's okay. Mr. Just already arranged for someone to take care of me.""Alright, get some rest then. I'll see you again," Iris stood up."Okay," Samuel said. "See you."Iris walked out of the hospital and stood on the street. It wasn't snowing when she came, but it was starting to snow again.The pedestrians hastened their steps.She recalled that it was also snowing the day she divorced Stanley. On that day, she stood outside t

    Jason wrapped her in his coat, "I won't let you make wasted trips anymore. From now on, I'll come see you every day."Iris smiled, but her eyes were filled with tears.For some reason, her nose felt stuffy, her throat felt sore, and she just felt like crying."Want to go to my place?" Jason asked.Iris nodded in his embrace, "Okay."Cassie should have taken Kendra home, leaving only Vince and Elise in Iris' house. She would give them some space. Hopefully, it'll help them make amends."Are you cold? Let's go to my car," Jason suggested.Iris shook her head, "I want to take a walk with you.""Okay."Iris snuggled into his coat, wrapping her hands around his waist.Actually, it wasn't very cold when it was still snowing. It would be colder when the snow melted.Walking together on the street, they looked like an ordinary couple, just two people who were in love with each other.Their footsteps made crunching sounds on the snow, like a wonderful winter melody. They left two se

    It took all of Iris' courage to utter the words "I trust you" after getting hurt so badly in the past."I really like the feeling of walking on snow." She linked arms with Jason, "Let's go."She deliberately stepped on the thick snow.Under her feet, it produced a crunch.Jason looked at her smiling face.He held her tighter.Iris had been hurt once. How brave must she be to accept him and tell him that she trusted him?He would not let her get hurt again.Iris reached out her hand and let snowflakes fall on her palm. She could clearly see the snowflakes, but they would soon melt away.They strolled along, letting snow fall on them.The ground was covered with thick snow. They felt like they were in a fairy tale world, quiet and peaceful.They clasped their fingers and kissed under the streetlight.They bought candy canes and ran home in the snow.Back home, they drank steaming hot coffee and snuggled in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the scenery outside.

    "I see.""Can you help?" Professor Sandler asked.Jason pondered for a moment, "I'll have someone look into it."First, he had to find out which country Iris' cousin had been trafficked to."Okay. Have you made up with Iris?" Professor Sandler asked tentatively.He really wanted to know.Jason grunted in acknowledgment.Professor Sandler immediately burst into hearty laughter."Make sure you two get along well. I'm waiting for both of you to come see me together. Okay, I'll talk to you later."Professor Sandler hung up.Jason put down his phone, and as soon as he did, it vibrated again. This time, the caller was Fiora.He answered."Did you call me yesterday? Why did you instantly hang up?""Tell me something. Did you answer a call on my phone, then delete the call log?"Fiora had forgotten about that incident, but she immediately remembered when Jason asked her about it. She asked nervously, "How do you know?""From now on, stop answering my calls.""The caller was so

    Iris continued, "Her name is Rachel Lyles. She's 22 years old and graduated from Southern University. I don't have much information about her. I don't even know which country she's been taken to."She looked up at Jason, "With so little information, it must be really difficult to find her, right?"She actually wasn't that hopeful.Those who were scammed and taken abroad were rarely found and brought back.She sighed, "It's hard to change people's minds."She had advised Rachel not to go, but Rachel still went.It could only be described as foolishness. If one had the ability, they could make money anywhere. Was it really easier to make money abroad?Were there no poor people abroad?She couldn't understand those who believed they would make big money if they just went overseas.Of course, there were always exceptions. There were people who lived well abroad, but most of them were educated professionals, and such people could find good jobs even if they had stayed in the countr

    "I'm just kidding."She was already full, so she got up to tidy up the table. "You go get ready. I'll clean up."Iris looked at him. "We'll go out after we get changed," she said."Okay," he replied.Jason went to change clothes and tidy up, and she did the same after cleaning the table.They stepped into the icy world outside.It was exceptionally cold, but the snow on the roads had been cleared, so their journey was smooth.Glancing at the time, Iris said, "It's not even nine o'clock yet. Let's go buy some chestnut cake.""Sure," Jason agreed.They detoured to the pastry shop. Iris and Jason walked up to the counter. The owner smiled and said, "Long time no see. You haven't been here for a while."Iris smiled back. "Yes, work has been busy.""Is it the usual?" the owner asked.Iris nodded, "Yes, the usual. Two of them, please.""Alright," the owner packed them up and handed them over, then asked with a smile, "Is this your husband? You two look perfect together."The

    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
