Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 70
"Ptui!" Cassie spat vehemently. "You shameless scumbag! You want to get back with Iris? Iris would rather stay single forever than remarry you! I was too naive back then to see what you truly were, giving you the chance to hurt my daughter. Get out of my sight!"After hurling the gifts outside, she slammed the door shut with a loud bang.Dennis stared at his wife. He was actually surprised by his wife's reaction. He remembered how fond Cassie had once been of their former son-in-law.Understanding his confusion, Cassie explained, "To be honest, if I hadn’t seen him with another woman, I would have given him a chance. I would even have helped him persuade Iris. But now that I know how he treated Iris, I won’t let her step foot in his house again."As a woman herself, she understood her daughter's pain. Dennis reassuringly squeezed her shoulder. "Our Iris will definitely find someone better."Cassie straightened up and said, "Our daughter is young, beautiful, well-educated, and ha

The inside of the elevator was pitch black."Wh-What's going on?" Iris' voice trembled slightly with panic.Jason remained calm, his tone even a little soothing. "Don't worry. Looks like the elevator malfunctioned. It's gonna be alright." He took out his phone, turned on the screen for light, and pressed the elevator's emergency button. Then, he attempted to call someone for help, but the call wouldn't go through.Iris calmed herself down and asked, "Could the emergency button be broken too?"There was no response when he pressed the button.Jason inspected the button and replied, "It seems like it."Iris tried dialing 911, but there was no signal in the elevator. "Is there nothing else we can do but wait?""Seems like it," he confirmed. He pressed all the floor buttons in order to prevent the elevator from dropping. He noticed Iris' pale face, illuminated by the flashlight from his phone. "Are you scared?" he asked.Iris was a little scared, but she put on a brave face and s

"I can squat down?" Iris asked.Jason reached out to support her. "Let's move over there and lean against the elevator wall.""Okay," Iris replied, but as she tried to shift her legs, she felt a cramp from standing still for so long. She bent down to rub her calves, and in that moment, the elevator suddenly plummeted."Ah!" she exclaimed, startled, instinctively grabbing onto something nearby.The rapid descent threw Jason off balance as well. He quickly caught Iris, maneuvering them both to a corner, one hand gripping the handrail while his other arm wrapping securely around her, pulling her close to his chest.Clang! The elevator came to a sudden halt, and Iris, still shaken, slumped against Jason.She breathed heavily, her hot breath brushing against Jason's Adam's apple.It was unexpectedly seductive. Jason's body tensed up. He didn't dare to move.Iris had yet to recover from the scare.After about ten minutes of stillness, the elevator showed no signs of moving further

"I'm fine," Iris replied, lowering her head.A firefighter asked, "Do you guys need to go to the hospital?"Iris shook her head."No, we're fine. Thank you for rescuing us," Jason said."Just doing our job," the firefighter assured them before leaving after confirming they were safe. The property management team quickly called the elevator repairman to address the malfunction.Iris and Jason took the stairs back to Iris' apartment. They were rescued on the first floor, so they had to climb from the first floor to the sixth. Iris felt weak and struggled with each step, gripping the handrail tightly for support. Jason walked beside her.The cool air outside the elevator gradually dried the sweat on their bodies, and Iris' face was no longer as flushed. By the time they reached the sixth floor, Iris was exhausted.Jason, however, showed no signs of fatigue. Iris glanced at him in surprise. She was out of breath, while he wasn't even breathing heavily. "Mr. Just, aren't you ti

Iris had actually wanted to make better food since she was inviting someone over for dinner, but the meal ended up being a bit simple."Next time, I’ll prepare in advance, so bear with me this time. You must be hungry, right, Mr. Just?""I'm okay," Jason replied.After dinner, Jason took his leave. Iris walked him to the staircase since the elevator was still out of order. She watched him descend before returning to her apartment.Once inside, she tidied up the dining table and went to bed.The next day, she noticed over ten missed calls on her phone but decided against calling back because she had a lawsuit to file that day. Denise had finished gathering evidence of her husband's asset transfers. Following Iris' advice, Denise acted like she was hesitant to end the marriage, but she was secretly collecting proof of the asset transfers. Her husband was the one at fault to begin with, and he also tried to transfer away marital assets. Iris felt confident about their chances in

They sat facing each other, chatting.Iris stared at them in disbelief. She wondered why they were here together. After all, they were not particularly close.Denise asked, "Do you know them?""That's my friend. Excuse me for a moment," Iris said."No problem, go ahead," Denise said with a smile.Iris approached, and it was Henry who noticed her first. He greeted her with a warm smile. "Iris, what are you doing here?"Iris smiled back. "I came with a friend."Yvonne, glancing behind Iris, asked, "A friend? A man or a woman? I didn’t know you had other friends besides me."Ignoring her teasing, Iris simply said, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"Yvonne stayed put. "We can talk here."Henry chimed in, "Yeah, it's not like we don't know each other. Whatever you want to say, you can say it in front of me." He added half-jokingly, "You're not gonna talk bad about me behind my back, are you?"Iris didn't know what to say. She was indeed going to tell Yvonne that Henry was an irres

Yvonne started her playful teasing again. "Is your client a man or a woman? Is he handsome?"Iris was speechless."What on earth is going on in your head?" she said, bemused."Ms. Glover," Denise had been waiting for her."Denise, my friend is a bit drunk..." Iris began, but Yvonne quickly straightened up and interjected, "I'm not drunk. I'm perfectly fine.""If you're Ms. Glover's friend, then you're my friend too. Care to join us?" Denise suggested.Without waiting for Iris' consent, Yvonne replied, "Sure!"Iris looked at Yvonne with a mix of helplessness and amusement on her face. The private room that had once belonged to Denise's ex-husband was now hers. Denise declared generously, "Let's have a good time! It's all on me!"Yvonne, who was familiar with the place, took the lead.This place wasn't only a paradise for men. It was a paradise for women too."Let’s start with ‘Paradise on Earth.’"Iris and Denise exchanged puzzled glances. What's "Paradise on Earth"? Alth

Iris had been busy with the lawsuit lately. She barely had time for anything else."I saw your missed calls, but I was too busy to reply," she explained. She genuinely did not mean to ignore Ted on purpose.Ted decided to let the matter rest. "I'm just glad you’re okay.""I'm fine," she assured him.Stanley seemed to want to say something to Iris but could not bring himself to say it in front of the group. When he spoke, his words were mocking. "How busy could an assistant be?"Iris didn’t want to argue with him so she just kept quiet.Lester, who was beside Stanley, felt the tension and tried to lighten the mood. "Why don't you join us, Iris?""No, I came here with friends. You guys have fun," Iris replied.Henry knew that Yvonne was with Iris. If he could enter their room, he would be able to see Yvonne again, so he said, "We’re all friends; let’s have fun together!"Iris said, "I don't think that's a good idea." She did not like that idea at all."Oh, c'mon. we’re friend

Yvonne rubbed her numb arms vigorously.Iris laughed, "You haven't changed at all; you always get sleepy during law lessons."Yvonne scratched her head, "Right? Maybe I was switched at birth. Everyone in my family has a career in law, and I'm the only odd one out."She was an only child, so it seemed like her family's illustrious history in the legal field was destined to end with her.Professor Sandler, not joining them, instructed Yvonne, "You should head home." His tone implied, "Don't be a third wheel."Yvonne looked at him with a pitiful expression. "Grandpa, are you really not going to help me?""Go talk to your parents yourself," he replied, waving her off.Iris asked, "What's the matter?"Yvonne sighed, "They want me to go on a blind date."Iris fell silent. Yvonne's parents wanted Yvonne to go on blind dates so that she would get married, but Iris knew that if Yvonne were locked up in a marriage and couldn't have fun anymore, she would go crazy.Marriage was unsuitab

The door swung open to reveal Iris and Jason. Yvonne scrutinized them, asking, "Why are you two here together?"While Iris was hesitating, unsure of how to explain to Yvonne in front of Jason, Professor Sandler asked, "Who is it?""Professor Sandler, it's us," Iris said, walking past Yvonne. On the way here, she and Jason had detoured to the pastry shop to buy chestnut cakes for Professor Sandler."Are the fish still alive?" she asked with a smile as she placed the pastries down.Professor Sandler's eyes brightened upon seeing Iris and Jason. "They're still alive," he answered, smiling.With her arms crossed, Yvonne's eyes went back and forth between Iris and Jason. Her experience and intuition told her that there was something fishy going on between those two.Iris' awkward reaction all but proved it. After years of friendship, Yvonne knew Iris like the back of her hand. Iris had avoided her question earlier – a clear sign of guilt.The two fish were not just alive; they look

Hopefully, she would learn from her mistake."Also, when I went to see Miss Fiora earlier, I saw her arguing with Stanley Stein. They were yelling at each other. He might have something to do with the kidnapping," Samuel reported.At the mention of Stanley, Jason looked up, his gaze landing on Iris' slim back figure.Iris turned around with the water and medicine in hand."Understood. Inform me as soon as you find out," Jason instructed."I will," Samuel replied before ending the call.Jason dropped his phone and pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration."What's wrong? Is something bothering you?" Iris asked, handing him the pills. "Put everything aside for now and take your medicine first."Jason tilted his head back and smiled at her. "Feed me."Iris was taken aback by his playful tone. Could he be possessed?But considering that his injury was a result of saving her, she took a pill and brought it to his mouth.Jason opened his mouth, accepting the pill."Water," sh

Samuel was shocked. His expression turned serious. "Understood. I'll look into it immediately."Fiora looked him in the eye, her gaze conveying a warning. "Don't tell my brother."Samuel lowered his gaze. "Understood.""Go. Investigate it and let me know the results as soon as possible," she instructed.Concerned, Samuel said, "But I can't leave you alone. Let me call—""No, I'm fine. If I need help, I'll hire a caregiver myself," Fiora interrupted him."Alright," he replied.He left the ward.Despite Fiora's repeated warning, Samuel called Jason as soon as he left the hospital.Jason was lounging on a couch, dressed in a loose white shirt that revealed his slender neck, defined collarbones, and muscular chest. His sleeves were rolled up, showcasing his sturdy forearms.Iris was next to him, focused intently on applying medicine to the wound on his palm. The injury looked terrifying.How could he grab a blade barehanded?"Weren't you afraid back then?" she asked.Jason t

Stanley frowned, "Don't act like a spoiled brat with me. I never made any plans with you. If you claim I did, show me the evidence.""The text you sent me – does that not count as evidence? I'm not blind; I can read. I lost my phone while I was running away, so I don't have the proof with me." She reached out, "Let me see your phone."Stanley was certain he hadn't sent her any messages to meet up, so he pulled out his phone and handed it to Fiora.As she scrolled through their chat history, Fiora's frustration grew. She didn't find the message where he supposedly asked her out."You deleted it!?" Fiora exclaimed, smashing the phone against him in anger. "I won't let this matter rest!"The phone slipped from her hand and fell to the ground, the screen cracking upon impact.Stanley glared at her fiercely. His wrath was so fearsome that Fiora couldn't meet his gaze.Picking up the phone, Stanley shoved it back into his pocket. His eyes were cold and intimidating like the winter win

When they arrived at the hospital, Fiora stepped out of the car. Although Brad disliked Fiora, he still took off his denim jacket and tossed it to her. "Your clothes are torn."Fiora looked down. She had never looked so disheveled before. She caught the jacket and draped it over herself. "Thanks.""Don't mention it. Anyone would lend a hand in that situation, and I didn’t really do much," Brad replied nonchalantly.Fiora assessed him. Although she had always disliked him, he didn’t seem so bad today."Since I'm here, I might as well escort you inside," he said, walking towards the hospital entrance.Fiora hurried to keep pace with him. "Um, can I borrow your phone again?"Brad pulled out his phone and handed it to her.She called Samuel and told him, "I’m at the First General Hospital. Come over; I need to talk to you.""I'll be right there," Samuel responded on the other end."Also, don’t tell my brother," Fiora added firmly. She wanted to handle things on her own; if her bro

Iris looked at Brad with a critical eye. "If you're not interested in practicing law, you might want to consider changing your career."She felt that he was wasting his time at the law firm since he wasn't actually doing anything.But Brad shrugged off her comments. He was actually quite content with this arrangement. "Working" at the firm allowed him to appease his family while still enjoying his carefree lifestyle without getting nagged by his old man."I'm heading out, then," he said.He was wearing a black hoodie with the hood up, casual pants, and white sneakers. He twirled his car keys nonchalantly, exuding a carefree attitude.Once in the car, he cranked up the music to the maximum volume, moving to the rhythm as he backed out of the driveway. Once outside, he hit the gas, launching into the open road.The traffic lessened when he reached the city outskirts.With the window down, the breeze tousled his short hair, and he savored the freedom of the open road. Suddenly, s

Iris could feel Jason's intense gaze on her, making her shift uncomfortably. She forced a smile and asked, "How can I help you?""It's another race," Brad replied. "This time it's a different track.""Is it the one you guys talked about last time, the one that's really dangerous and could be fatal?" Iris asked, concern evident in her voice.Brad shook his head. "No, it's a different one."Suddenly, Brad noticed that Iris' cheeks were flushed. "Iris, what's wrong with you? Your face is as red as a monkey's butt!"Iris did not know what to say.Jason's gaze remained on her face. "Ms. Glover, there's a case we need to handle this afternoon, remember?" he stated matter-of-factly.Iris responded with a simple, "Oh."Brad was speechless. He glared at Jason unhappily and muttered under his breath, "Merciless boss."Jason merely nodded, pretending not to hear the comment.Iris shrugged helplessly. "As you can see, I have work to do.""Just take the rest of the day off," Brad insiste

Iris responded with a soft acknowledgment as Elise left the living room. Leaning back on the couch, Iris fell into a daze, her thoughts swirling.Suddenly, her phone buzzed with a message from Jason: [When are you coming back?]She stared at the screen for a long time, contemplating her response. Finally, she typed back: [In the afternoon.]He did not reply. Scrolling through their chat, she realized they had built up quite a long conversation history."Lunch is ready," Elise announced about half an hour later when she returned to the living room.Iris got up to wash her hands.Tom had brought home a variety of braised dishes, while Kendra had prepared a few hot dishes. At the dining table, Kendra expressed her concerns and asked Iris many questions about Vince's situation. Iris assured her that he would be fine, which seemed to ease Kendra's worries.After lunch, Iris drove back to work. She parked her car and walked into the building. While she was waiting for the elevator, Ja
