Chapter 311

Upon entering the police station, Iris immediately spotted her parents, both of whom had bruises on their faces. Cassie appeared relatively better, but Dennis' condition was concerning; his eyes were swollen, his mouth bruised, and a cut marred his cheek."What happened?" Iris asked, concerned.Cassie recounted, "Those guys refused to pay and caused trouble on purpose, claiming there was a fly in the sushi. It's not even summer — where would a fly come from? They harassed us and demanded compensation. When your father and I refused, they destroyed our stall."Iris took her mother's hand, speaking gently, "Did they initiate the fight?"Cassie confirmed emphatically, "Yes, they initiated it.""No, you started it. Your food's not clean. We fell ill after eating your sushi. Our lives might be at risk. You owe us compensation for mental distress, medical expenses, lost wages..." one of the two troublemakers rebutted arrogantly from a nearby bench. They did not look scared at all even t

"I understand," Iris said. She was about to leave when Jason grabbed her arm."Do you want me to get you a knife?" he asked.Iris and the officer were both speechless, while the two hooligans looked perplexed."Iris, please don't do anything rash. We still don't know for sure yet..." her father, Dennis, said with worry."I know, Dad," she replied, reassuring him with a smile. "But if I don't go, Renee will think we're easy targets, and she'll come after us again."She also wanted to make it clear to Renee and Stanley that she had no intention of remarrying Stanley, so these dirty tricks were unnecessary!Jason was the one driving earlier, so he handed her the car keys. Iris accepted them with a thank you and left in a hurry.She drove straight to the Stein residence with her mind set on finding Renee.The lights were on at the Stein residence. They were still awake.Iris knocked on the door.When Stanley opened it, he seemed pleasantly surprised to see her."What are you d

"You.... You... How dare you threaten me?!" Renee exclaimed, taken aback by Iris' boldness.Ronald stepped forward, putting a hand on Renee's shoulder. "You're in the wrong here. Go apologize and compensate them.""Why should I? She ruined our son's marriage! You want to ally with the Just family too. You...""Renee!" Ronald cut her off firmly. "If you don't apologize, she'll go to the Just family to cause trouble for us. Do you think there's any chance of salvaging our son's marriage if she does that?"He was eager to prevent the situation from escalating. Iris looked so furious that she might actually raise a ruckus at the Just residence, which would really embarrass the Stein family.Moreover, he feared that Iris might expose his affair. Knowing Renee's temperament, she would surely have an explosive reaction if that happened. He would never have peace at home again."If you want to salvage our son's marriage, you need to resolve this situation first," he continued. He knew he

Stanley looked conflicted. He wasn't sure if he could persuade Renee.Ronald was displeased because not only was his son's mind filled with just love and women, he also lacked wisdom. "Just trick her. Tell her that if she apologizes, you won't call off the engagement. She'll definitely apologize."Stanley wasn't stupid; he simply didn't want to lie to Renee like that. He knew that, if he did, it would lead to endless trouble. If he made that promise, Renee would surely do everything possible to force him to marry Fiora. Therefore, he simply couldn't make that kind of promise."Understood," he replied, though he knew he had to find another solution.Ronald pressed the issue, "Don't disappoint me again. I have high hopes for you."Stanley studied his father, sensing there was more behind his words, as if his father was reminding him.Perhaps men simply understood each other better."Dad, you...""Enough. I'm going out for a while," Ronald cut him off and walked to the door to go

Chapter 315

When Iris returned to the police station, Jason had already taken care of everything. The police officer from earlier had been removed from duty. He stood to the side with a pale face, while the two hooligans who had caused the disturbance appeared defeated, their earlier bravado gone."They're under arrest. They've apologized to your parents and compensated them," Jason informed her.Iris shot the two hooligans a cold glance. She was angry at them, but she knew that the real culprit was the person who hired them.She felt a deep sense of guilt for having involved her parents in her mess. They got injured because of her."It's all my fault," Iris said, her eyes reddening."Don't say that. We're a family, so your problem is our problem too," Dennis assured her. "It's all good now, thanks to Jason. Without him, we might still be detained."Iris turned to Jason, whose calm demeanor and deep eyes brought her a sense of reassurance. She silently vowed to keep this favor in mind. "Than

Renee bristled at the suggestion that she should go over to them. "Tell them to come here. They should be grateful that I'm willing to apologize to them. I'm not going over there. They don't deserve it."Stanley said, "You came to apologize. Go."He understood the stakes clearly. If his mother and Iris' parents became hostile, his chances of salvaging his relationship with Iris would plummet. Therefore, even though he knew how stubborn Renee was, he still persuaded her to go over to them.Renee couldn't put her pride aside. She had always looked down on Iris' parents, and being asked to take the initiative to go over to them felt like a total humiliation. Apologizing to them was already a huge compromise."Since you've come to apologize, then do it properly. Don't give them any leverage," Stanley urged.Renee snorted, "I'm not afraid of them.""You should be," Stanley insisted. "If Iris raises a ruckus at the Just residence, what chance do I have of salvaging my relationship with

She tried to make excuses for herself.Jason said, "It's okay."He looked at Iris.Iris helplessly rubbed her temples. There was nothing she could do about her mother's temper.Iris suggested taking Dennis to the hospital, but he stubbornly refused, insisting he was fine except for a minor injury on his face.Cassie said it was late and that she would take him to the hospital tomorrow to get a full-body checkup.Reluctantly, Iris acquiesced to their wishes. After Iris' parents exited the car, Cassie suddenly remembered something and turned back. "Iris, your Aunt Kendra said you and Jason have helped her a lot, so she wants you two to visit so she can thank you properly."Iris immediately rejected it. "Tell her there's no need. I'm busy with work lately, so I won't be able to visit."Cassie frowned. "Why didn't you tell me about what happened to Kendra and her family?"Iris saw through her mother's intentions immediately. "Why should I tell you about other people's affairs? B

Iris pushed open the car door and stepped out, quickly walking away as if trying to escape. She wasn't entirely sure what she feared — perhaps she was afraid that she couldn't handle whatever Jason might say. Once home, she received a text from him: [The business trip is delayed for a day.]She stared at the message for a long moment before replying with a simple [Okay.]Feeling utterly exhausted, she lay down on her bed and fell asleep without even showering.The next morning, she took a shower after she woke up and changed into clean clothes. She then left the house to go to her parents' home to take her parents to the hospital for a full-body checkup.However, when she opened the door of her apartment, something fell inside, startling her.That "something" turned out to be Stanley, who had been sleeping at her doorstep. He stood up with a stubbly beard, tired eyes, and wrinkled clothes. "I came last night. I wanted to knock but was afraid of disturbing your sleep..."Iris' e

Iris did not deny that it was one of the reasons.Stanley's expression broke down completely. "Hah." It seemed like he was mocking himself. Staring at the torn pieces of paper on the ground, he admitted, "I didn't even attend that seminar. It wasn't me who wrote that review."This revelation stunned Iris. "It wasn't you?"But she quickly regained her composure. It didn't matter anymore at this point."Just leave," she said, once again driving him away.Stanley stared intently at her face, searching for a hint of veiled emotion, but all he found was cold indifference. "Do you love me as a person, or—""Do you really want me to call the cops?" Iris interrupted, her patience wearing thin. She didn't want to engage in discussions about love or past relationships; it was all behind her. What did it matter now? People should look forward, not dwell on the past."You call me heartless, but you're even more heartless than I am," Stanley said hoarsely.Iris was unmoved. Stanley cont

Brad finished the coffee in one go. Iris frowned as she observed him. Something appeared to be on his mind. After setting the cup down, he expressed his gratitude. "Thanks," he said, grabbing his coat and standing up. "Shall we have breakfast together?" he invited."I've already eaten. I'm waiting for someone," Iris replied."Okay, never mind then," Brad shrugged. He draped his coat over his shoulder and walked away unsteadily.After checking the time, Iris said, "I can keep you company though." However, right after she said that, the woman arrived. "Looks like I can't," she said apologetically.Brad suddenly walked back and asked, "Can I join you?"While Iris was hesitating, he explained, "My father said he would send me abroad if I don't show results at the law firm. I don't want to go abroad."Iris smiled at the woman and said, "Let's go to the reception room."She then instructed Brad, "Go make two cups of coffee and bring it over."Meeting her gaze, he understood her m
