Moving On from a Cheater Chapter 97
Iris decided it wouldn't hurt. A drink might help her sleep well, clear her mind, and perhaps provide some clarity on the case the next day.As they made their way through a bottle of high-end wine, both she and Jason began to feel tipsy, with Iris experiencing a slight dizziness from the alcohol.Suddenly, the door to the private room swung open, and a couple stumbled in, clearly intoxicated.There were only Iris and Jason in the dimly lit room. There was no singing, no hostesses, and no games, so it was quiet inside.Therefore, the man and woman who barged in thought the room was empty. They had come inside to have sex.Their passionate kisses were intense, consuming all rational thoughts as they searched for solace in one another. They began taking off each other's clothes.The man touched the woman’s chest, saying, "Babe, they're so big and soft…"The woman, wearing a purple strapless dress with disheveled dark hair, coyly responded, "Be gentle…"The man chuckled, "I'm not

His sexy Adam's apple, tinged with a deep red, moved up and down a few times. Once he had calmed down, he draped her arm around his neck and lifted her into a bridal carry, one arm wrapped around her back and the other under her legs. Outside the club, he instructed the doorman to call a driver for them.While they waited, two cars pulled up: Henry and Lester emerged from one, while Stanley exited the other.Lester spotted Iris in Jason's embrace and exclaimed, "Holy crap!" Henry, annoyed, shot him a look. "Stop screaming! Did you see a ghost or something?""No! Look!" Lester pointed towards the entrance.Henry squinted. "Is that man holding Iris?""Who else could it be?" Lester’s eyes widened. "Who is that man?"Henry thought he looked familiar. "I think that's the young master of the Just family."Lester’s eyes grew larger. "Iris knows a man from the Just family?"Henry shook his head. He had no idea."How will Stanley react when he sees them?" Lester glanced at Stanley, w

"N-Nothing, I didn't say anything, haha..." Henry laughed, pulling Lester along to keep pace with Stanley.Lester asked, "What's wrong, Stanley? You seem to be in a bad mood."The corner of Stanley's lips tugged in annoyance. "I'm being jinxed." After his divorce, he realized he still cared deeply for Iris. Seeing the house they had shared for four years be destroyed by her left his heart in turmoil. He wanted to win her back, but Iris had firmly refused to give him a chance. The memory of her indifferent face, having lost all hope in him, made his heart ache."Today, no one's leaving sober," he declared, tugging at Lester's collar.Lester could guess that Iris must have something to do with his bad mood. He sighed. "Henry, you're not young anymore. You should settle down if you meet someone you like and cherish her. Don't wait until you lose her, because you're gonna regret it."Henry stared at him incredulously. "Are you out of your mind? Aren't you the king of nightlife, Lest

However, all the lawyers Cassie had encountered were typically dressed in formal suits while Jason was in casual attire, so he might not be a lawyer at that law firm.Just then, a customer approached the sushi stall, and Dennis quickly helped with the order. Besides the sushi, he also provided the customer with soy sauce, wasabi, and a pair of chopsticks."Should I go again tomorrow?" Cassie asked."I don't think you should," Dennis replied. "They've only just started dating. If we poke around too much, our daughter might feel pressured. It won't be too late to get to know him better when their relationship has stabilized enough to discuss marriage. I don’t care about his job or income; what matters most is good character, a sense of responsibility, and genuine love for Iris. That’s enough for me."Cassie nodded. Stanley was a cautionary tale. "Yes, the most important thing is the man's character. Money is just material; enough to get by is all we need."Dennis was moved by his wi

Iris and Jason paused, then awkwardly withdrew their hands at the same time. Iris tucked her hands inside her clothes, tightly clasping them together. The sensation of Jason's touch lingered on her hand, as if it were still there.Jason clasped his hands behind his back and remarked, "Spring is coming.""Yeah," Iris replied, gazing at the river. "The wind isn't as cold anymore."She looked up at the starry sky and sighed, "People are so busy surviving that they tend to forget to just stop for a moment and appreciate life.""Look at all those stars, Mr. Just," she said, directing his attention upward.Jason glanced at the night sky. Its quiet expanse was filled with countless stars, evoking a sense of wonder.A gentle breeze stirred Iris' hair, accentuating her facial features. Jason's gaze rested softly on her. Now that she was awake, she did not look that gentle anymore. She exuded a resilient air, which sometimes hinted at a hidden sharpness. It made her even more captivating

"Good morning," Jason said as he walked in. He unbuttoned his suit jacket and took a seat at the dining table.Iris commented, "It's just simple home-cooked food. I don't know if you're used to eating this kind of food.""Even if I'm not, I’ll get used to it if I eat it regularly," he replied casually, picking up his cutlery. Iris frowned, not quite understanding his meaning. "So, my cooking's not good?""What I mean is, even if I'm not used to this kind of food, it's not because of your cooking — I just haven’t adjusted to your style yet," he said, taking a bite of the vegetable omelet.She was left bewildered. Was he saying that it's his problem, not hers? How come she still couldn't quite understand? Was her comprehension really that poor? Shaking off the thought, she decided not to dwell on trivial matters like that. She should save her brain power for her cases."The soy milk has no sugar," she mentioned.Jason nodded."Do you prefer your soy milk sweet or salty?" she a

Iris asked, "What’s the matter?" Yvonne was about to complain about Ted, but stopped herself because she realized it was something she couldn't tell Iris.Ted had requested her help to ask Iris out for a weekend trip to a resort. Yvonne might need Ted's help in the future, so it's difficult for her to refuse. Therefore, she agreed to ask Iris.Since Yvonne would be busy all day, she decided to come early in the morning. "Do you want to go to the Seine Mountain Resort just outside the city this weekend?"Iris eyed her suspiciously. "That's it? You came so early in the morning just for that?"Yvonne nervously ran her fingers through her hair. "I happened to be passing by, so I thought I’d come ask you in person."Iris answered, "I don't think I'm free this weekend."Yvonne asked, "You already have plans?"Iris smiled. "Jason assigned me a case. If I handle it well, my position will become permanent."Yvonne’s lips twitched as she regarded Iris, thinking, This naive woman doesn’

"You've always known that your actions would hurt your wife, children, family, and parents. Why didn't you stop your bad habits earlier? Why wait until things get so bad? What's the point of regretting it now?" Iris rebuked.The man lowered his head. "If I had known this would happen, I would never have done all that.""I'll still fight to defend you until the last moment. You're lucky; I've seen people who end up worse," she said, deliberately scaring him. "I once handled a case involving a woman with AIDS who sought revenge on society by intentionally sleeping with many men. Those men contracted AIDS as a result. It's unfortunate, but if they had stayed clean, they wouldn’t have dug their own graves. Don't you agree?"The man's body trembled with fear. That was indeed worse than what had happened to him. His worst-case scenario was going to prison, but at least he wouldn't have an incurable disease. Iris' words made him realize the dangers outside. He had a wife, so why would

"Okay. Good night, Mr. Just," Iris said."See you tomorrow," he said."See you tomorrow."…Iris was jolted awake the next morning by her phone ringing. Groggy, she reached for it. "Hello...""My husband changed his mind. He refuses to settle or drop the case now."The client's voice sounded anxious.Iris was instantly wide awake.Why would he change his mind overnight? She was going to handle all the procedures today to avoid further complications too."What happened?" Iris sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Take your time and explain in detail.""I don't know either. He just messaged me saying he regrets signing the settlement agreement and he won't drop the case. But he already signed the agreement. He can't change his mind anymore, right?" The client still held a glimmer of hope.Iris replied, "He can still change his mind."Under normal circumstances, changing one's mind after signing would be difficult. However, since she had half-tricked him into signing the agreement, if

Iris nodded helplessly. "You shouldn't have answered the phone." She felt a headache coming.She wasn't blaming Jason; it's just impossible to explain to her mother now.Since Jason answered her phone this late at night, her mother naturally assumed that Jason had been with her all evening.That was indeed the case today, but it wasn't in the way her parents thought."I can go meet your parents with you," Jason offered.Iris was surprised. Huh?Does he even know what he's saying?"Do you know who my mom thinks you are?" she asked.How could he suggest that without knowing anything?"She thinks I'm your boyfriend, right?" Jason smirked mischievously. "If you don't take me to see them, they'll definitely ask you even more questions. Wouldn't that be troublesome for you?""Besides," he added, "We worked so well together earlier. We're very in sync, right?"Iris was speechless."Actually, all I have to do is explain to them...""What if they set you up on a blind date?" Jaso

After hanging up, as Jason was about to leave the car, he heard a phone ringing. He traced the sound to Iris' phone lying on the passenger seat. She had left her phone in his car.Picking it up, he noticed "Mother" displayed on the screen and smiled, recalling the enthusiastic woman he had met the other day. It seemed he had a reason to look for Iris now.He exited the car and took the elevator to the ground floor, then headed to the building across the street.While waiting for the elevator in Iris' building, Iris' phone rang again. Jason wondered if he should answer. Iris' mother was calling repeatedly in the middle of the night, so there might be an emergency. After some hesitation, he decided to answer.Before he could speak, Cassie's voice came through the line. "Iris, happy birthday! Your dad and I are so busy today that I only have time to call you now. When are you free to visit us for dinner? Call me before you come; we'll skip work that day and stay home to spend the

Stanley was furious. He felt as if all the blood in his body was flowing to his head. If he had held onto any hope before, it was gone now. He realized that Iris was genuinely leaving him and had no intention of returning to his side.No!He could not accept that!Inside the car, Iris fastened her seatbelt, unfazed by Stanley's roar. Jason glanced at her, noticing her calm demeanor, and a slight smile tugged at the corners of his lips.He started the engine, and the car roared to life. He turned the steering wheel and pressed the gas pedal, and they drove away .Once they had left Riverside Pier, Iris said, "Thank you for acting with me."Jason's grip on the steering wheel tightened. "Don't you think we have great chemistry?"Iris considered this for a moment. "Indeed. I always thought you were a very serious person. I didn't expect you to...""To what?" he asked, glancing at her.Iris brushed her hair. "Just now, when you called me 'babe', I got goosebumps. I can't believ

"I'll take you home," Jason offered.Iris nodded. Stanley couldn't stand it any more. Disregarding how bad it made him look, he rushed forward and grabbed Iris' wrist. "Iris..."Iris turned around, her expression cold. "Can I help you, Mr. Stein?"Her tone was icy, causing a pang in Stanley's chest. "H-happy birthday." His voice was hoarse. "Iris, I made a mistake. Let's get back together..."Jason instinctively tightened his grip on Iris' shoulder.Iris sneered, tilting her head with eyes full of coldness. "Since you wished me a happy birthday, let me make a wish: I hope you never appear before me again. I hope my wish will come true.""Iris," Stanley's voice cracked with emotion.Iris raised her eyebrows and said fiercely, "Let go of my hand!"Instead of releasing her, Stanley tightened his grip, the veins in his hand bulging.That hurt Iris' arm."Mr. Stein," Jason interjected, prying Stanley's hand away. "Stop bothering her. This is unbecoming of you.""She's my wife

On the shore, Yvonne urged Iris to leave.The other yacht was drawing closer to the dock, and if Iris lingered any longer, she would inevitably run into Stanley. It had truly been an unlucky day for Yvonne. Nothing was going smoothly. First came Jason, an unexpected guest, and now came Stanley, a harbinger of bad luck."Iris, why is the day of your birth so unlucky?" Yvonne complained. Iris looked perplexed. Right then, the other yacht docked. Henry was the first to jump off. He hurried over to Yvonne. "Hey! You're here too? Why didn’t you call me to join you? We could have come together."Yvonne glanced at the three women who followed him down from the yacht. All of them were flaunting their legs, their skirts barely covering their bottoms, and their cleavages were on full display with their low necklines. Yvonne scoffed, "Come together? That would have ruined your fun.""C'mon, I'm not serious with them," Henry replied. He approached Yvonne and reached for her sleeve. "

Actually, it wasn't that the parents absolutely couldn't afford to raise her, it was more because they wanted a son, but with the family planning policy, they couldn't afford the payment to give birth to one more child, so they left the girl to be raised by the grandparents.The little girl passed away without ever having been registered in the household registration; she was considered undocumented. Getting her registered would require money the family simply didn't have. Or, perhaps, they felt that it wasn't necessary since she was just a girl.The girl's aunt – her uncle's wife, who also lived with the girl's grandparents – was unhappy because there was suddenly an extra mouth to feed. The aunt treated the girl very poorly. According to neighbors, the girl was often beaten and denied food. The grandparents didn't dare speak up, fearing they would upset their daughter-in-law.According to the villagers, the aunt had attacked the girl that day because the girl had stolen some bread

Jason remarked, "In this world, there is no such thing as absolute fairness."He thought Iris' view was still overly idealistic. There was a large gap between the things taught in law school and the cases that happened in the real world. Sometimes, bending the rules was necessary to achieve certain objectives, not just for the sake of making things fairer. The world has never been fair, no matter in which country.Iris fell silent. She knew that the world had never truly been fair. Many individuals were constrained by circumstances from the moment they were born. Some emerged from impoverished rural areas, needing relentless perseverance to change their fates, while others were born into wealth and luxury, their starting point already an unattainable goal for many. How could this not be seen as unfair? Fairness was absent from the moment of one's birth.Yet, wasn't her initial aspiration to study law rooted in the pursuit of fairness? If not, what was the point of law?"Mr. Just,

His now wide open collar revealed his sexy, slender neck. His Adam's apple moved as he spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, "Are you really okay?"Iris nodded, avoiding his gaze; she didn't dare meet his eyes directly. His gaze felt too affectionate. Earlier, he mentioned that she resembled the love of his life. Maybe he saw her as a substitute for his unrequited love?Yes, it must be so; otherwise, he wouldn't have looked at her with that kind of expression.Phew~She assured herself that Jason couldn't possibly have feelings for someone like her. It was fortunate she had realized this in time, avoiding any presumptuous thoughts. She felt relieved that she hadn't embarrassed herself in front of him."Um..." Just then, Denise approached, intending to inform them that Yvonne wanted to leave. Upon reaching the sun deck, she immediately spotted Jason hugging Iris.She realized she was intruding.Quietly, she turned to leave.However, Iris had seen her. "Denise," Iris called out
