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

Chapter 103

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

Chapter 105

She quickly received a reply: [Why?]Iris was certain that Jason was unaware of the rumors circulating within the firm. If she hadn't overheard the gossip by accident, she would have remained in the dark too.She didn't want to tarnish Jason's reputation. Although they did nothing wrong, rumors could hurt. Besides, she planned to have a long career at the firm, and such rumors were not beneficial to the firm nor her career. People were already accusing her of "using her body", and the rumors would only become more malicious.She stared at Jason's message, pondering. After a while, she replied: [I feel like I haven't gained enough experience yet. Also, turning permanent so quickly doesn't comply with the firm's policy.]He replied: [Okay.]Iris took off the badge she had just hung around her neck.She reluctantly explained the situation to the HR department. They called Jason for confirmation before revoking her status. Jason seemed to have guessed something. He told the HR depa

Chapter 106

Yvonne crossed her arms. Ted knew very well which room they were staying in because he was the one who booked the room. Their room was right next to his.And she had no choice but to play along."8802," Iris said.Ted feigned surprise. "I’m in 8803."Yvonne rolled her eyes.Iris was surprised. "What are the chances?"Yvonne quipped, snorting lightly, "Right? What are the chances? Who would have thought?" Ted lowered his eyelids, looking a bit guilty.Iris wondered why Yvonne was being so sarcastic. She gently tugged Yvonne's sleeve and said, "Why are we chatting here? Let's go in."Ted offered his assistance, "I'll carry your luggage for you."Iris said, "No, it's okay...""Let me do it; men are stronger," he insisted, eagerly grabbing Iris' bag. It wasn't heavy; she didn’t pack much since she would only be staying overnight.Yvonne tossed her bag into Ted's arms. "Only hers? What about mine?"Without Yvonne's help, he wouldn't have "run into them" today, so he willingly

Chapter 107

Yvonne turned her head away from Iris. "Yeah, I don't feel like it."Ted quickly intervened, "It's okay, Iris. We'll cycle. Let's go. It's a long journey, so if we don't hurry, it'll already be midday when we arrive."Iris shrugged. "Alright."The sightseeing bike was a side-by-side tandem bicycle, so Ted was sitting very close to Iris. He could hear her breathing and catch a faint scent from her, causing his heart to race uncontrollably. At his age, feeling his heart flutter just from being near a woman seemed somewhat pathetic. He thought he should be more composed, not acting like a young man experiencing his first crush. Even he couldn't help looking down on himself.Yet, he couldn't control his feelings. Perhaps this was the charm of love—even the most powerful people could not control it. It could make a person behave unnaturally.Ted's emotions were probably amplified because his unrequited love had suddenly seen a ray of hope. The long-suppressed feelings surged forth li

Chapter 108

Ted glared at Yvonne.Yvonne raised her chin, her expression challenging, as if to say, "What are you looking at? Serves you right for threatening me."Ted still needed Yvonne's help to get closer to Iris, so he did not dare to offend her. He conceded and said, "Yvonne's right."Yvonne finally smiled.Iris looked back and forth between Ted and Yvonne. "Is something going on?"It felt like there was a silent showdown between the two.Ted hurriedly denied it. "No, of course not! You know how Yvonne is."Indeed, Yvonne had a fiery personality.Iris smiled, letting the matter rest.Ted found some more topics to talk about. Although Iris didn't really connect with him, it was still a pleasant chat.Upon arriving at the hot spring area, a staff member greeted them and led them to the changing rooms. The provided attire was uniform but allowed for size selection.Ted entered the men's changing room, while Iris and Yvonne went to the women's. In order to preserve the hot spring's

Chapter 109

Yvonne raised her eyebrows at the sight of Stanley. Her annoyance with Ted diminished—after all, there was now someone more annoying present.Iris leaned against the edge of the hot spring, her expression neutral, as if the escalating tension had nothing to do with her.Ted felt a twinge of guilt. Everything he said was true, but he was talking bad about Stanley behind his back, which was a shady thing to do. However, as a man, he couldn’t show any weakness in front of Iris or she would look down on him.Standing up, Ted stepped out of the hot spring as if nothing had happened and asked casually, "What are you doing here?"Stanley glared at Ted, his face twisted with fury and his chest heaving with emotion. "If I weren’t here, I wouldn't have heard your comments about me behind my back!"Ted, undeterred, shot back, "Did I lie? If I didn't, why are you so angry?"At a loss for a response, Stanley’s anger boiled over. He kicked Ted in the stomach, sending him crashing back into the

Chapter 110

He spoke in anger without thinking.Yvonne seethed at his words. "Go to hell, you scumbag."Iris cast him a cold look before climbing out of the hot spring and walking away barefoot.Yvonne turned to Ted. "If you beat him up, I’ll help you pursue Iris!"Ted's morale instantly soared.Stanley was stunned, realizing he had crossed a line. Taking advantage of that, Ted punched him in the face.Stanley was not about to back down; he instantly retaliated. The two fought, and water splashed everywhere, as if there were two large fish thrashing in the pool.The commotion attracted the resort manager's attention, who rushed over to break up the scuffle. However, this fight was different from the last time the two men fought. Both men had bloodshot eyes, unwilling to yield. Ultimately, the manager had to call the police, and the cops came to arrest them.The fight was deemed a mutual combat. Both men were injured. The police contacted their families.Renee was the first to arrive. She
