She exuded a profound stillness, a sense of broken calmness enveloping her. When the light turned green, the car moved forward. Upon reaching their apartment complex, they parted ways to their respective homes.Iris entered her apartment and lay down on her bed – not out of fatigue, but simply because she wanted to. Turning her head, she noticed Jason's coat hanging on the rack. Should she return it to him?Just then, a knock on the door interrupted her thoughts. It was likely Yvonne, probably coming to complain about her failed blind date. She opened the door and started, "The blind date…"To her surprise, it was Jason standing outside."M-Mr. Just, what are you doing here?" she stammered.He extended his hand, offering her some medicine. "For you."Iris looked down to see it was tetanus and anti-inflammatory medication.“Superiors should care for their subordinates; it’s part of the job,” he stated as if it was the most natural thing in the world.She could only accept it.

Jason asked, "Do you think I would lie?"Iris shook her head vigorously. "You're a man of your word."Jason chuckled, then got up to retrieve a document folder from his study, handing it to her. "The case is quite complicated, so take your time to study it."Iris nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Just...""No need to thank me." He looked at her with a meaningful gaze. "Don't forget that you agreed to put off all the thank you gifts for now, accumulate them, and give me one big gift in the future."For some reason, Iris smelled a trap. She asked, concerned, "What if, when the time comes, I can't afford what you want?"Jason leaned back in his chair. "You can offer yourself instead; I'll accept that.""What?!""Just kidding," he said. "Don't worry; what I want, you can afford," he added mysteriously.Iris brushed off the uneasy feeling. After all, she believed Jason didn't have any interest in her. She was a divorced woman, and he was like a deity in their field; surely, he would only be

Ted looked hurt, unable to comprehend Iris' exasperation. Was she upset about the flowers, or was she upset with him?Iris didn't mean to hurt him. "Yvonne's probably joking, but you took it seriously. I'm here to work, and I'm not even an official lawyer yet. People will laugh at me...""No one would dare because I'm here with a business deal with your law firm," Ted said earnestly. "I've dismissed my company's legal department and plan to hire your firm to be in charge of my company's legal counsel."Iris couldn't believe her ears.Ted continued, his expression serious. "Iris, I know I may not be your type, but I really, really like you. That's why I want to do something for you. I know that you just started your legal career and there's an internship period. If you bring in a big client for your firm, it'll help you become a full-fledged lawyer."His intentions were genuine. He was just very dense in romantic matters. If not, he wouldn't have thought that it was okay to do some

This job was crucial for Iris, especially as she was on the verge of being confirmed for a permanent position. With Ted creating such a scene, she risked upsetting her boss and losing that opportunity. A heaviness settled in her heart."Iris, go write the resignation letter..." Ted said."Ted!" Iris snapped, frustration evident in her voice. "Professor Sandler recommended this job to me. I value it highly and I'm working hard to prove myself. I can't let him down again, especially after what I did for Stanley. If I disappoint him once more, I'll never be able to face him."Ted's mouth silently opened and closed. He was just unhappy with the way Jason treated Iris; he never intended to jeopardize her job."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that," he admitted, guilt washing over him."It's okay," Iris replied, her eyes stinging with emotion. "You should leave. I have to work.""Do you want me to apologize to your boss? That way, he won’t hold it against you because of me," Ted offered

Therefore, when Yvonne came to see him, he proposed, "If you can help me find out if Jason has any interest in Iris, I’ll convince your parents not to arrange any blind dates for you for a year."Yvonne immediately agreed.She then encouraged Ted to confess to Iris in a high-profile manner to provoke a reaction from Jason. If Jason liked Iris, he would surely be angry; if not, he wouldn’t care at all. Earlier, Ted said that Jason was angry. That indicated Jason had feelings for Iris.“Okay; I’ll give your parents a call,” the old man said, sitting comfortably in his rocking chair, swaying leisurely despite having just lost a chess match.Yvonne sensed there was more to it than her grandfather let on. Crouching beside the rocking chair like a curious gossip, she asked, “Grandpa, what made you suspect Jason might have feelings for Iris?”Professor Sandler looked at her and chuckled softly. “You know nothing.”The reason he had shown Jason a photo of Iris and tried to match them u

"Mr. Just, are you... are you running a fever?" Iris asked, puzzled. She still could not comprehend why he was so angry.If it wasn’t a fever causing him to act irrationally, why would he say something so weird? It almost sounded like he was upset about other men pursuing her."What are you talking about?" Jason asked, baffled.Iris was trying not to get fired, so she said humbly, "N-nothing. I'm just concerned about your health."Jason's gaze was intense and inscrutable. "For Professor Sandler's sake, I'll give you another chance," he gave a grand excuse even though he clearly knew he wouldn’t fire her.Grateful, Iris quickly nodded. "I’ll do a good job. I promise it won't happen again.""Go back to work," he said, waving her off.As she turned to leave, Jason called out, "Wait."Iris paused with her hand on the doorknob. She turned back with a smile, eager to please. "What can I do for you, Mr. Just?""Do you like the man who gave you flowers today?"Iris was caught off gua

The woman had provided a video and audio recording. Based on the video and audio, it appeared that he did force himself on her."Please describe in detail what happened that day," Iris urged. She couldn't find any breakthroughs from the case file, so she was hoping to do so from the man's testimony.After organizing his thoughts, the man began recounting the events of that day carefully. Iris listened intently and noted that his account closely matched the details in the case file."Is this friend of yours very close to you?" Iris asked.The man nodded, saying, "We've been friends for over a decade."He then added, "Our families also know each other; he wouldn't set me up. Please, you must help me. I don't want anyone to know about this, and I can't afford to go to prison."Iris scrutinized him. He was dressed in a designer suit. Stanley also had suits of this brand, so Iris knew that it was worth at least thirty thousand, and his watch was likely worth over a hundred thousand. H

The receptionist's eyes immediately widened in shock.Mr. Just is dating his assistant?Jason neither confirmed nor denied her statement. He pursed his lips, thinking."Oh, let me treat you to a meal," Cassie said, grabbing Jason’s arm, as if to keep him from escaping. He allowed her to pull him along.She led him to a table outside a nearby café. "Tell me, how far along have you and my daughter progressed?" Cassie inquired, then quickly added, "Wait, you haven’t had lunch yet, have you? I made these sushi myself. Try it."She opened the lunchbox, revealing beautifully arranged sushi, crafted with care to please the eye and palate. She handed him a pair of chopsticks."Thank you, Mrs. Glover," Jason said with a smile as he accepted them."Oh, you’re welcome, you’re welcome," Cassie beamed, forgetting all about her daughter as she watched Jason enjoy the food.Jason picked up a piece of sushi and took a bite. It was delicious. Iris must have inherited her culinary skills from

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
