Iris nodded in agreement.Jason led the way, and she followed. She walked awkwardly and slowly. Noticing her pace, Jason deliberately slowed down to match her.Iris said, embarrassed, "Mr. Just, um, why don't you go ahead?"Jason glanced around. There were no shuttle vehicles like golf carts that they could ride; the equestrian center was huge, and it would take some time to reach the exit."Sorry, I should have been more mindful. It's your first time riding, so of course there are many things you're not used to." He pursed his lips and said, "I can carry you on my back if you want."Feeling embarrassed, Iris quickly waved her hands in refusal. "No, it's okay. I can walk."She coughed lightly, adding, "It's actually not that bad. I have no problem walking."Jason lowered his gaze, briefly assessing her legs. "Are you sure?"Iris nodded repeatedly. "I'm sure."She would rather endure a bit of discomfort than let Jason carry her. It felt too intimate, an action usually reserve

It turned out, Jason was his boss."Does that mean I can come here for free from now on?" Iris joked."Yes, for free, and you can come anytime. It'll always be open to you," Jason replied."Thank you," Iris said.Riding a horse was very relaxing. She really liked the feeling. As a lawyer, stress was a constant companion, so this was a great way to unwind.As they drove into the city, Jason suddenly pulled over to the side of the road. Iris thought he might have a quick errand so she didn’t ask any questions. When he returned, he handed her a few boxes of medicine. It was then that she noticed there was a pharmacy nearby."Mr. Just, this..." Iris hesitated as she accepted the medicine."They're medicine for promoting blood circulation and relieving pain," Jason explained. He turned his focus back to the road as he restarted the car.Iris was reminded of her discomfort, which made her gather her legs closer together. "Thank you," she said."Next time, ask the manager for a saddl

Chapter 153

Yvonne hated Stanley and had her reservations about his character, but she acknowledged that he had indeed helped Iris deal with Ted. At the very least, after Iris was assaulted, he had avenged her. "At least he's still a man. I'm telling you this in case you want to thank him in person. You don’t owe him anything beyond that," she advised Iris.Yvonne had no interest in helping them reconcile. While she fooled around a lot, she could do so because she was single. She had strong views on fidelity. Marriage, to her, was about responsibility – toward oneself, one's partner, one's family, and, if children were involved, them as well. Infidelity would undermine all of that. If you cheat on your partner after marriage, what's the point of getting married? You might as well remain single. No one would get hurt then.Iris understood. She asked with a smile, "Since when did you and Henry become so close?"Yvonne paused for a moment before flipping her hair playfully. "It can't be help

But it wasn't a complete lie; they were going to set a trap for Ted, after all.Iris raised her glass and said, "You all know I can't handle alcohol well, so I'll just have one drink. This is to express my gratitude to all of you. I'm sure you're all aware of what Ted did to me. I couldn’t do anything to him. While your method may not have been entirely ethical, it's not like you accused him of something he didn't do.""Bottoms up." With that, Iris lifted the glass and finished her drink in one go. The alcohol burned her throat as it went down.She loathed men who disrespect women, especially those like Ted who resorted to force.Recently, there was a case in another country where a young female doctor was raped to death by dozens of men, shocking the world.Women were always the weaker sex."Bottoms up," Lester said, similarly raising his glass.Henry nodded in agreement, but Stanley remained still. He looked at Iris and said, "Can I have a word with you?"Iris smiled, "There

Chapter 155

Stanley's hands clenched into tight fists, the emptiness and longing tearing at him. He felt as if he were losing his mind. "Iris... Iris..." He repeated her name over and over, the emotions shifting from longing to resentment. Didn’t she once love him deeply? Why had she left him so heartlessly? How could she be so heartless?Even when she saw his arm in a cast, she showed no concern. She maintained her cold demeanor in front of everyone, a stark contrast to how she used to be. In the past, she would have been heartbroken if she saw him hurt.Frustrated, he abruptly got up and made his way to the liquor cabinet to grab a bottle of liquor. He only had one working arm, so he used his teeth to pop the cap off the bottle, spat it onto the floor and drank straight from the bottle.The alcohol burned his throat like fire. As he gulped too quickly, he choked. He coughed violently until his eyes watered."Iris..." he murmured, making his way unsteadily to the couch. He fished his ph

Chapter 156

Lester had no choice but to do so.After drinking half a bottle, Stanley couldn't hold himself up anymore and collapsed into a drunken stupor.Lester got him onto the couch with much difficulty. He couldn't help grumbling, "You knew it might come to this. Why did you still do it?"Suddenly, the door swung open. Lester looked up to see Fiora walking in with a thermos in hand.She had opened the door herself. Did Stanley give her the password? What was Stanley thinking?While trying to get back with Iris, he's also getting involved with Fiora? It was a recipe for disaster."Miss Just, right?" Lester greeted her with a polite smile.Fiora nodded, her gaze shifting to him. "And you're...""Stanley's friend. He's drunk," Lester explained.Fiora set the thermos down on the table and moved closer. "Thank you. I'll take it from here."Lester nodded and headed for the door. Before leaving the house, he glanced back to see Fiora carefully covering Stanley with a blanket. With a com

Chapter 157

Fiora's face heated up, a subtle blush blooming like peach blossoms, charming and captivating in its innocence. Standing before the man she admired, she couldn't help having dirty thoughts.Swallowing hard, she reached out to touch his chest...Stanley stepped back, looking at Fiora in surprise. Fiora's hand hung awkwardly in mid-air, embarrassment washing over her as her cheeks turned an even deeper shade of red."Sorry..." she stammered, retracting her hand.Stanley looked down and saw her flushed cheeks. His heart softened when he thought of how she had stayed up all night by his side, then got busy in the kitchen early in the morning, making breakfast for him. Here was a wealthy young lady who could have easily been pampered at home, yet she chose to roll up her sleeves and care for him. In contrast, Iris was cold and indifferent, hanging up on his calls and treating him heartlessly!Fiora was a woman who was sincerely good to him. He felt deeply moved."There's nothing to

Henry replied in the group chat: [OK.]Lester chimed in: [Just the three of us?]Would there be other people?Stanley read the replies and responded with a voice message: [I'll introduce you guys to someone.]Fiora's face flushed with embarrassment.Lester seemed to have figured out what Stanley wanted to do. He sent Stanley a private message: [Are you and Miss Just getting serious?]Just last night, he looked so heartbroken, to the point of drowning his sorrows with alcohol. And now, he had already moved on and was getting serious with Fiora?Would he really not regret this later?Concerned for his friend, Lester warned him: [Miss Just's feelings for you run deep. Once you've accepted her, it'll be hard to break it off. Are you sure about this?]Stanley turned to Fiora and said, "I want more soup."She immediately went to get more from the kitchen.Quietly, Stanley replied to Lester with a voice message: [Why would I want to break it off?]Lester was speechless. [Fine, f

Chapter 159

Cassie pushed open the car door and stepped out with her head held high, exuding confidence that suggested she was ready to confront anyone.Iris followed her out, and Dennis remarked, "I hope your mother can tone it down a bit."Iris smiled knowingly. "You've been with her for half your life; don’t you understand her temperament yet?""Your mother's not a bad person, but...""There you are!" Before he could finish, Mrs. Linderhof, who lived next door to Iris' aunt, greeted them with a bright smile. "Long time no see!" Dennis greeted her."Is this your daughter? She’s getting more and more beautiful! She looks like a celebrity!"Dennis returned her smile, while Iris offered a polite one in response."Let’s go in," she suggested."Sure," Dennis agreed and gestured for his family to follow.Inside, the venue was bustling with people, adorned with festive lights and decorations. A stage had been set up at the entrance due to the limited space. A band was playing lively music.

Chapter 160

Kendra ran into Stanley and Renee? Cassie couldn't believe her luck.Turning to Iris, Kendra pressed, "Iris, is it true?"Panic washed over Cassie. Just moments ago, people had looked up to her, but now the tables had turned, making her a subject of ridicule. The blow was too much for her to handle; her body swayed unsteadily.Dennis quickly stepped in to support her. Cassie pushed his hand away and tried to argue, "You heard wrong. Iris couldn't possibly be divorced...""I have photo evidence," Kendra rebutted, pulling out her phone to show Cassie a picture of Fiora walking arm in arm with Stanley. "Why would I lie, Cassie? I’m only doing this for Iris' sake. If she’s divorced, she’s divorced. Why do you feel the need to hide it? If you come clean, I can help you figure something out."Cassie glanced at the photo, her heart sinking as she recognized Stanley with another girl. She had seen that girl before – she caught her and Stanley kissing in public.Cassie's chest rose and fe
