Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 7
After saying that, Iris walked past Stanley without stopping. Stanley was infuriated.However, Iris had always been the one who initiated reconciliations after they had arguments, a pattern he had come to expect. The thought of being the one to relent this time felt unbearable, despite his strong desire for her to return.His mood was terrible, so he called his friends out for drinks to distract himself. In the private room, the atmosphere was tense. No one wanted to speak first.The news of Wendy getting arrested had spread. They all knew by now that Wendy had tried to frame Iris for drug possession. They had misunderstood Iris. They thought she had gotten into drugs because she was too bored at home. But it turned out Wendy had tricked them all with her innocent facade.The depth of Wendy's deceit shocked everyone. She had meticulously planned her scheme for three months to take Iris down. Those kinds of people were truly scary.They sat right next to you, but you had

Iris was speechless.That was way too much info.Iris stayed up late and fell asleep on the desk.When she awoke the next morning, her body ached from the awkward position she had been in.Yvonne, now sober, greeted her with a smile. She waved the card in her hand and said, "Thanks for this."Iris returned the smile. After Yvonne left, Iris tidied up and went to work.As soon as she arrived, Jason called her into his office and told her to meet a client with him."What do I need to prepare?" Iris asked dutifully."You just have to listen," Jason replied, putting on his coat as he made his way out."Oh," Iris said, quickening her pace to keep up with his long strides.He had such long legs.They took the elevator straight to the underground parking lot. Jason led her to his car, and she climbed into the rear seat.The destination was a relatively remote area, so the journey took a while. They soon arrived at a small restaurant. Iris was confused at first; why would a

Ted happened to see that interaction between Iris and Jason. Moreover, from his point of view, their interaction was very intimate.It made him scowl. He had completely lost his appetite.Iris retracted her arm. Jason did the same without saying anything.Upon entering the restaurant, they found the first floor fully occupied, so they went up to the second floor and chose a table near the window."Do you have any dietary restrictions?" Iris asked.Jason replied curtly, "Nope.""What kind of flavor do you like? Mild, spicy, sweet..." she continued, trying to gauge his tastes."Mild," he responded, his tone brief and somewhat distant.Iris was speechless.Iris wondered how his wife or girlfriend felt about being with a man who was this cold.Living with a person like him must be pretty boring.Iris ordered several mild dishes that she had tried before, including the restaurant's signature chicken tetrazzini and mushroom soup.As they waited for their food, the atmosphere be

Iris took out her phone to answer the call."Hello...""It's me.""Ted?" Iris was surprised to receive a call from him. "What's up?"Standing on the roadside, Ted observed her from a distance. "It's my birthday tomorrow. Will you come?"If Iris turned around right now, she would see him standing behind her. Iris hesitated. If she attended, she would surely run into Stanley. However, Ted was a close friend of hers; the three of them attended the same college, and she had known Ted even longer than Stanley."Okay," she finally said."Great. Same place as always," Ted replied."Alright."The next day, Iris shopped for a present after work. After selecting a present, she wrapped it carefully, then took a taxi to Mahogany Garden, where their group of friends frequently celebrated birthdays.As she approached the private room, she was about to open the door when laughter erupted from inside, followed by Henry's voice."Stanley, did you have sex with Wendy for the first time on y

Iris left decisively, without a moment's hesitation.In a fit of anger, Stanley kicked Ted in the stomach. "Why did you stop me?"Ted staggered backward from the impact. He bumped into the table behind him, knocking over plates and wine glasses.Lester and Henry quickly intervened, pulling Stanley back. "Stanley, Ted is just trying to help you. You and Iris are both heated right now; if your argument escalates, it won't end well."Ted steadied himself and straightened his clothes. "Let him go. If he wants to fight, then let's fight. I'm ready."Stanley sneered. "Oh, looks like you really do have feelings for her."When Ted saw Iris having dinner with another man, he realized he could no longer hide his feelings.He had already missed his chance once; this time, he intended to seize it.He had invited Iris today on purpose; he wanted to confront Stanley!"Yes, I've had feelings for Iris for a long time. I liked her even earlier than you did," Ted declared, finally revealing the

Ted instantly retaliated.Both men gripped each other's necks tightly."You know what, Stanley?" Ted struggled to say. "The moment I found out that you were flirting with Wendy, I knew you were playing with fire. I watched as Iris' love for you slowly disappeared. I never believed that she would touch drugs, but I kept quiet, wanting to see if you were foolish enough to trust that pretentious little bitch instead of her. And you were.""I had planned to wait until you sent her to prison, pushing her to the point of completely giving up on you. Then, I would clear her name and rescue her. But you and I both underestimated her resilience. From the moment she fought back in court, she had already given up on you. You were the one who crushed her love for you.""You bastard! How dare you set your sights on my woman?! You told her about me and Wendy, didn't you?""Wake up!" Ted shouted angrily. "I wouldn't stoop that low! You're with Wendy all the time; Iris isn't blind! Did I force yo

Yvonne discreetly checked with the doctor, who confirmed that Stanley's injuries were superficial and not life-threatening. Disappointed, she sighed and texted Iris: [I've checked; he's not dead.]Iris read the message but did not reply. After finishing her drink, she paid her tab and left the bar, her steps a little unsteady.Two young men in the bar had taken notice of her. Seeing a pretty girl drinking alone had given rise to bad intentions. They decided to follow her.Standing on the roadside, Iris checked her phone; it was past nine o'clock. The illumination of the streetlights cast a long shadow behind her. It was still early, but because she was in an alley behind the bar, it was very quiet. The cabs did not normally visit this alley.Feeling stranded, she called Yvonne. The call quickly connected. "Yvonne, I've had too much to drink. Come pick me up…"Before she could finish, someone covered her mouth from behind."Iris? Iris!" Yvonne called out anxiously.Iris' eyes

Iris was touched knowing that Yvonne had immediately rushed to her rescue. She was feeling relieved for having survived the ordeal. "Yvonne, thank you," she said sincerely."Why are you so polite?" Yvonne replied with a smile. She glanced ahead and added, "I'm not the only one you should thank."Iris felt ashamed. She couldn't believe she let something like this happen to her because of a scumbag like Stanley.She didn't even dare to look ahead. Averting her gaze, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Just.""You're welcome," he replied, his voice calm and indifferent as usual.After a while, they arrived at the hotel. Yvonne and Iris stepped out of the car, and Yvonne said, "Thank you."Jason nodded slightly, his gaze landing on Iris. Although she had calmed down, her face still looked pale.The concern in his eyes deepened. However, he simply said, "Goodbye."As Jason drove away, Yvonne linked arms with Iris and asked, "Do you know who he is? I'm surprised my grandfather is so well-acqua

Iris turned to her, surprised."You don't seem too happy," she teased. "Rather than getting married, it looks more like you're going to attend a funeral.""Is marriage something to be happy about? Aren't you a cautionary tale?" Yvonne shot back.Iris was speechless.She was indeed a textbook cautionary tale.Yvonne poured herself another glass. "Marriage isn't something to be happy about. I'm just fulfilling my parents' wishes."In the past, she just wanted to have fun and didn't want to get married. When her parents urged her to get married, her grandfather defended her.Now that her grandfather had fallen ill and was not in good health, he also wanted to see her get married.She could ignore her parents, but for her grandfather's sake, she had to get married.Iris sighed. "I'm sorry for being a bad example. You're not me. Most marriages don't end like mine. Most people do well."Yvonne smiled. "Are you trying to comfort me?""Kind of," Iris admitted."I'm very rational.

She only realized that when she checked her phone at the end of the workday. Brad had called multiple times, but she merely glanced at the notifications without replying. There were also missed calls from Yvonne, who asked to meet up that evening.Iris messaged back, asking: [What time? Where?][Star Coast.][Got it.]Iris went to the underground parking lot. She took the stairs as the elevator was under maintenance. The maintenance was scheduled to be performed after work hours when there were fewer people.Her footsteps echoed in the dimly lit stairway, clattering loudly as emergency lights flickered on.A person in a black windbreaker, baseball cap, and face mask entered the stairway. Their head was bowed low, with half their face scrunched up inside their collar, obscuring their expression.Iris found her car, opened the door, and got in. Unbeknownst to her, a pair of eyes watched her intently from the shadows.The person's tightly clenched hands and the bulging veins o

Iris kept quiet and didn't say anything. She felt a pang of regret over the waste since those things cost money. He could have just given them away instead of throwing them away. However, she couldn't help but find his jealousy endearing. She couldn't believe a successful man like him would get so jealous."Let me help you," she offered. She closed the fridge and moved into the kitchen to help him serve the breakfast that Samuel bought."What time did you wake up?" she asked."Before seven," he answered.Iris glanced at the time; it was already past eight.Just then, her phone in the bedroom rang.She got up to answer it and saw it was Brad calling. She hesitated before answering."What time are you coming to visit me, Iris?" Brad asked, sounding forlorn."I have to go to the law firm. I haven't been there for two days. I can't put the case off anymore," she explained, politely declining.Though it was true she had to deal with the case, she could actually spare a couple of ho

Jason simply smiled without saying a word, leaving Iris feeling as though she had been unwittingly tricked. He seemed like an easy-going person, but there was an innate confidence and control about him that set him apart from others."You have a hidden agenda, don't you?" she asked."Once you finish the case in Southerland, I'd like to transfer you overseas," he replied.As for Brad Vassell, he would continue to stay at the law firm.The two would naturally be separated.Iris sat up straight, alarmed. "What did you say?"She was not going to sacrifice her career for a man! Their relationship wasn't at a stage where such sacrifices were warranted. Actually, no matter how much she ended up loving him, she would not sacrifice her career for him. She had already learned her lesson."With your skills, limiting yourself to marriage cases is a waste. Don't you want to tackle international cases?" He spoke casually, but his words were full of temptation.Iris was aware that Jason had

"I'll explain to her." Jason bent down, lifted Iris up and carried her to the bedroom.Iris, feeling sad, buried her face in his neck. "I'm sorry," she mumbled."It's not your fault. You didn't know she would be there." When Jason opened the bedroom door, the light passed over his face, illuminating the fleeting hint of danger in his eyes. "When you went to the Vassell family mansion, what did they say to you?""They just thanked me for mentoring Brad..." At that moment, Iris felt something was off. A family like the Vassells wouldn't need to invite her to their house for something so trivial. But if it wasn't to express their gratitude, why would they invite her? She wasn't close to them, and their statuses were vastly different."What was their intention?" she asked, looking up at him.All she saw was his firm jaw.Jason answered, "They had their reasons."He didn't blame Iris for easily accepting Brad's invitation; she wasn't part of their circle and naturally didn't know the

Iris was unbothered by Yvonne's antics; she would be more surprised if Yvonne didn't say something inappropriate.Yvonne closed the door with a smile. To be honest, she was genuinely happy for Iris, pleased to see her stepping out of her shell. She didn't care if Iris got together with Brad or Jason. She was happy as long as Iris could emerge from the shadows of her failed marriage without losing her confidence in men and still being open to love. After all, they say once bitten, twice shy. Yvonne feared that Iris might lose her ability to love someone after experiencing Stanley's betrayal.Iris approached the dining table, eyeing the fried chicken and beer. "We have dinner now.""Junk food," Jason remarked, glancing at it before pulling out his phone to make a call.Iris interjected, "Don't. It's fine to have junk food once in a while; it's not like we eat this every day. It would be a waste to throw it away."She opened the paper bag, retrieved the fried chicken, and set out gla

Iris stared at the crumpled note in the bin in surprise. She was only joking when she asked him if he was jealous.She thought a man as successful and mature as Jason wouldn't be bothered by something so trivial.Looking up at him, her tone shifted to a more cautious one. "Are you angry?"Jason sidestepped the question, suggesting instead, "What are those things in your fridge? Let's eat out."Iris hesitated. "But it's already so late...""I'll have someone bring us food," he interrupted, making the decision for them.She chuckled, "Stop being so childish. Why are you jealous of a kid?"Without warning, Jason removed the food from her hand, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her into his arms. He leaned in close, his warm breath tickling her neck.Iris turned her head aside, pressing her hands against his strong chest. Clearing her throat, she said softly, "Didn't you say you'll have someone bring us food? Shouldn't you make a call?""You're hungry, huh?" he asked, his voice casual

Jason asked, "What are you doing at this hospital?"This wasn't the hospital where Professor Sandler was."Brad had an accident; I came to check on him," she fastened her seatbelt."Is it serious?" he inquired, raising his eyebrows."His leg is broken," Iris replied."Oh, really?""Why do you look a bit pleased?" Iris asked, observing him closely. His side profile was illuminated by the light, so his facial contours were clearly outlined.He said somewhat absent-mindedly as he started the car, "We're love rivals; only one of us can emerge victorious."Hearing his tone, if Iris didn't know better, she would have thought that he was the one behind Brad's accident.He drove with one hand and held her hand with the other.Her hand was cold.He frowned and turned on the car's air conditioning.The car moved into congested traffic.It was early winter, and the roadside greenery appeared desolate. It was only a little after five, yet the streetlights were already illuminating the

"I didn't answer your call yesterday because I was with Jason Just. You've always wanted to know if there's anything between us, right? Well, I'll tell you now, there is something between us. We like each other." Iris felt that being completely honest was the best way to prevent Brad from harboring any unrealistic fantasies."You're just saying that to dissuade me, aren't you?" Brad wouldn't believe her. "Jason Just isn't even in the country. How could you have been with him?""He's in the country," Iris stated matter-of-factly.Brad's expression shifted to one of panic. "He... he's back?"Quickly regaining his composure, he continued, "Even if he's back, so what? You haven't been in touch with him for a year, and he hasn't come to see you. If you love each other, why didn't you keep in touch? Why aren't you married?"His words pierced Iris' heart like needles, and she felt a bitter ache. Yeah, why weren't they together? Why weren't they married?Because the obstacles between t
