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

"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 refused to succumb to Stanley's threat. If her client ended up with nothing from the divorce and still had to go to prison, it would mean she was incompetent. There was no way she would reconcile with him just for the sake of the case.Stanley fists clenched in frustration as he watched her walk away with resolute steps. When did she become so stubborn? Did she think he was joking?"Iris, you will regret this!" he shouted after her.Hearing him, Iris merely smirked and chuckled self-deprecatingly. The biggest regret of her life had been marrying him. Given the chance to start over, she would never do that, or even date him. In fact, she wished she had never met him at all.But there was no remedy for regrets in this world. If there were, she would take it without hesitation.The ball-less man asked cautiously. "Mr. Stein, are you really going to be my lawyer for free? You're not lying to me, are you?"His eyes still staring at Iris' back, Stanley replied, "I will be your

Chapter 214

Stanley couldn't believe he had lost a considerate, smart, and beautiful wife who had loved him wholeheartedly. He was desperate to win her back. He wanted her back by his side and back in their home.He sat in his car gripping the steering wheel, pondering how to regain Iris' affection.He remembered that she loved reading, particularly the works of the author named R. There was a rare book by R that Iris had always wanted but could never find. He had always known this, but he had never tried to help her look for it because, well, it's just a book.Taking out his phone, he called Professor Aston, recalling that he had seen the book before in Professor Aston's collection.The call was answered quickly. "Stanley! I was just thinking about you. What's up?" Professor Aston said."I have a favor to ask you, Prof," Stanley said, smiling. "I remember you have a niche book by R that's hard to find. Do you still have it?""Yes.""Could you give it to me?" he asked."Huh, strange. You'v

Brad casually replied, "Sure."Iris was taken aback by his quick and decisive response."Thanks, Brad. You're a great help. How can I ever thank you?" She felt immensely grateful for his willingness to help.Brad turned out to be very easily satisfied. "I want more of that chestnut cake," he said.He had never tasted such delicious pastries before. He actually did not like pastries very much, perhaps because they were generally sweeter and more suited to a girl's palate. Boys tended to prefer foods that were less sweet."That's it?" Iris asked. Wasn't the request too simple?Brad blinked, considering her question. "Then, how about you accompany me to a social gathering?"Iris was puzzled.He was only going through the motions at the law firm. What kind of social gathering would he have?"We have a club, and there's a race tomorrow night. I need to attend with a female companion, but I can't think of anyone to take. So, would you be my plus-one?" Brad grinned.Iris thought for

Chapter 216

During the grand auction in England, Jason was actually sitting behind Stanley and Iris. Because the bidding was done with a device, Iris was unaware that the person competing with Stanley was seated right behind her. She also had no idea that Jason was at the auction.Iris' eyes widened in shock once more. "How do you know that, Mr. Just?""...I heard it from Professor Sandler," Jason replied, his hands tucked behind his back. He felt awkward because he was not very adept at lying. He did not know where to place his hands."I never told Professor Sandler," Iris said, her mind racing. Upon reflection, she was sure she had never mentioned it to Professor Sandler. She didn't even see him while she was married to Stanley. Besides, she would never tell Professor Sandler about her fondness for a pink diamond necklace. It wasn't something that they would talk about. Their conversations mostly centered around legal matters."I don't know how Professor Sandler knew," Jason said, clea

The person who came to see her was Professor Aston, which took Iris completely by surprise."Can I help you, Professor Aston?" she asked.Jason's expression was gloomy. There must be a reason Professor Aston had suddenly come to see Iris, and Jason did not think it was something good."There is indeed something I'd like your help with," Professor Aston said cheerfully. "Can we go somewhere to talk?"Iris suggested, "How about the coffee shop downstairs?"After a moment of hesitation, Professor Aston replied, "That works."Iris turned to Jason. "Mr. Just, I'll see you later.""Sure, give me a call if you need anything," Jason responded.Iris nodded. Then, she turned to Professor Aston and said, "Let's go."Once at the coffee shop, Iris politely asked, "What would you like to order?"Professor Aston hadn't even taken a seat before he waved his hand. "I'm actually here on someone's request. I truly feel that your divorce is too regretful. Stanley wants to remarry you, so give

Chapter 218

Stanley had always viewed Iris as just a housewife who was supposed to do laundry and cook at home. He realized now that he had neglected her for so long that he no longer knew or understood her. Rushing after her, he called out, "Iris, after seven years together, do you really have no love for me anymore?"Iris stopped and turned to face him, coldly snorting, "Love? Given the choice, I wish I'd never met you."Stanley gripped the book tightly, frustration bubbling inside him. "Do you really think Jason Just cares about you? To him, you're just a recently-divorced woman who is emotionally vulnerable, so he finds it fun to toy with you. Do you think he really loves you? Don't be so naive..."Jason anticipated that Professor Aston was up to no good, so he had come down to check on Iris.Good thing he did, or he wouldn't have heard someone slandering him."Not everyone's a scumbag like you." He approached and placed a protective arm around Iris' shoulders. "She's not a promiscuou

This would be the second time Iris and Stanley faced each other in court. The first time, she had occupied the defendant's seat while he sat opposite her as the plaintiff's lawyer. This time, she was there as her client's defense lawyer.She was dressed in a dark blue jacket with a lapel collar and a matching top. The jacket's waist-cinching design showed off her slim figure. She complimented that with straight trousers and black high heels. Her clean-cut short hair framed her face, enhancing her serious and sharp aura. She stood with her back straight, feeling like she was six feet tall.Since she entered the courtroom, she hadn't once looked directly at Stanley, who, on the other hand, could not stop looking at her.Even now, he still thought that Iris was overestimating her own abilities. He had had years of practice as a lawyer, during which he had handled hundreds of cases. Moreover, the odds were heavily stacked against Iris' client in this case.How could Iris win?"Order in t

Chapter 220

"What you're saying is..." Stanley began, but Iris cut him off."Mr. Stein, if your wife were to humiliate you by cheating, wouldn't you be furious?!" she pressed forcefully, not giving him a chance to argue.Stanley stared at her, momentarily dazed by her fierceness. Although the plaintiff was the victim, Iris' cunning argument had created a deadlock in the case. But Stanley didn't care; he only took on the case to oppose her and show her that she couldn't win. He wanted her to realize that after being a housewife for so long, she was not suited for a job as demanding as being a lawyer. He wanted her to understand that working was hard, so she should just return to being his wife. He wanted her to realize how good she had it being a housewife who did not have to worry about a thing.However, it seemed he had underestimated her. Iris did not look out of place at all. She was logical and quick-witted, always ready to counter his points."Are you really resorting to personal attacks?"
