Chapter 321

After that, the man eagerly asked, "Do I have a chance?"Iris pondered for a bit and replied, "You do, if everything you said is true...""Everything I said is true," the man hastily interjected.Iris raised her eyes, her gaze cold and firm. "Let me finish?""Okay, okay," he nodded, listening intently as she continued. "The first time you sexually assaulted her, she was still young, so she can't remember it clearly. Without direct evidence, it's difficult to prove what you did. She can only be certain about the sexual assault that occurred when she was in 10th grade. However, at that time, she was no longer a minor. The most crucial point is that there is a huge time gap between that incident and her recent suicide, so it would be challenging for the prosecution to link the two events together. However, if they have enough evidence, you will be convicted for sexual assault."The man's expression dimmed. "Oh, I see. If her suicide cannot be directly linked to my actions and I'm onl

"Contribute to the country?" Brad leaned on the table and teased, "You're quite patriotic, aren't you?"Iris asked, "Don't you love your country?""Of course I do," Brad responded.Iris walked out of the reception room. "I hope that's a truthful answer," she remarked, glancing back at him."I wouldn't deign to tell lies..." His voice trailed off as his stomach rumbled loudly, prompting an awkward cough.Iris chuckled. "I'll treat you to breakfast."Brad rolled his eyes. "Boss, it's already ten o'clock. Are you sure it's breakfast and not lunch?"Iris packed her things. "Don't call me 'boss.'"Brad stared at her for a moment before bursting into laughter. "You care about that kind of thing?""Of course," she replied. "'Boss' makes me feel old. I'm still young."Suddenly, Brad leaned in close. When Iris looked up, she was startled to see his face right in front of her."You scared me," she said, glaring at him.He laughed heartily. "Haha...""Let's go," Iris said, heading ou

Chapter 323

They moved to a private room for their meal. Fiora's eyes were swollen from crying; her breakup with Stanley had hit her hard. Jessica, on the other hand, was pretty happy about the breakup. "Hmph, what's there to cry about? Pathetic."Despite the situation, Fiora retorted stubbornly, "Have you never been in love, Mom?"Jessica was momentarily taken aback. "Who knows if what you feel is really love?" she sneered.Perhaps Jessica had never lacked love and therefore couldn't relate. She and her husband had grown up together and had matching backgrounds. After marriage, they had a son and a daughter, and their relationship was stable. Their relationship, while not as passionate as those depicted on screen, had endured through the years. Her husband, despite his wealth and status, did not fool around outside or have an affair. He was devoted to his family and was a responsible and caring husband. Wasn't that a relationship to be envied? Passionate love was rare in this world; it w

After the waiter finished serving the food, he exited the private room and closed the door.Iris retreated to the wall. The door was shut tight, isolating the sounds within. She stood frozen. Jason and Fiora were siblings? And Jason only liked her because she looked like the woman of his dreams?A bitter chuckle escaped her at the thought. No wonder. With Jason's qualities, there was no reason for him to be interested in her.Thank goodness. Thank goodness she hadn't allowed herself to believe that he liked her because of her qualities. Thank goodness she hadn't invested too much emotionally. Thank goodness she had found out early, so it's not too late.Taking a deep breath, she went back to Brad, who was slumping in his chair, looking unwell. He looked up at her, his face a picture of discomfort. "Iris, I feel terrible," he said pitifully.Iris sighed. "I'll go buy you some digestive pills. Wait here."Brad nodded obediently. "Okay."Iris quickly searched for a nearby pharmac

Brad parked the car in the hospital parking lot, and the two of them got out. They made their way straight to the inpatient department. They inquired at the nurse's station for the specific ward number and proceeded there.Brad, following behind Iris, teased her, "You're a lawyer. Why are you investigating the case like a detective?"Iris scanned the room numbers on the doors and replied without looking at him, "The accounts given by the clients are often biased in their favor. We need to understand the full picture to make the right judgment."Brad nodded, finding her reasoning sound. Iris soon located the ward she was searching for. Through the door window, she saw that there were people in the ward. She knocked on the door, and a woman sitting by the bed rose to open it. The woman scrutinized Iris, asking, "Who are you?"Iris introduced herself. "I'm Mr. Lee's lawyer, here to talk to Liandra to gain a better understanding of the situation."The woman's expression darkened upo

Liandra remained silent. She kept staring at Iris with a numb expression. A hint of mockery suddenly appeared at the corner of her lips, as if to say, "You're only doing this to defend that scumbag."Iris could understand how Liandra feels. She remained patient and said in a gentle tone, "If you can provide evidence to support your accusation that he sexually assaulted you when you were a child like you mentioned in your suicide note, he'll get a heavier sentence."Liandra continued to show indifference.Iris realized that perhaps Liandra needed some time to process things, so pushing further might not yield any results. She sighed helplessly. Just then, the door to the ward swung open, and Liandra's mother returned.While driving away from the hospital, she realized she had left her bag behind, so she came back to retrieve it. To her surprise, she found Iris inside the ward.She immediately understood the situation. "I was wondering why that scumbag would ask me out, saying he

"Sure."Iris immediately walked back into the ward, but the woman, Rinkah, blocked her path. "My daughter needs rest. Please don't disturb her."Iris replied, "Didn't you hear her? She's willing to talk to me. Are you trying to prevent me from communicating with her because you're afraid she might say something that might incriminate you?"With an air of superiority, Rinkah retorted, "I'm her mother. How could I have possibly harmed her?"Iris fixed her with a sharp gaze. "If you love her so much, why did you take advantage of her financially? If you love her so much, why did you try to abandon her?"Rinkah's expression changed, a mix of shame and anger evident on her face. "That scumbag slandered me! I… I never tried to abandon her!" she stammered.Observing Rinkah's defensiveness, Iris calmly stated, "You and I both know what the truth is."Rinkah was flustered and angry.Iris continued with a smirk, "If you love your daughter so much, why are you stopping her from talking to

Iris answered, "She didn't say anything."Rinkah stared at Iris for several seconds before a faint smile appeared on her lips. It seemed her daughter had taken her words to heart."Can you leave now?" Rinkah asked, looking challengingly at Iris.Iris took another look at Liandra before turning to walk out of the ward.Brad immediately complained to Iris, "She actually bit me."Iris dragged him away."Aren't you going to stand up for me?" he asked pitifully."How? Should I beat her up for you? Do you think we're in the right here?" Iris asked."But…" Brad hesitated. "I can't just let it slide. I was bitten.""Then do you want to bite her back?" Iris asked.Brad fell silent. Showing some empathy, Iris said, "Let me see." He extended his hand, revealing a clear bite mark on the back with a hint of blood. Iris was surprised by the severity of the wound. "Let's go see a doctor."Brad followed her to the medical station. The injury wasn't severe, but as a precaution, the docto

Jason walked over and held Iris' hand possessively. "Sorry, she does belong to me."Brad looked at Iris in shock. "You're dating your boss?"His voice was not low, and the incredulity in his tone attracted the attention of many lawyers in the firm.The two female lawyers who had previously gossiped about Iris exchanged glances. Their relationship was no longer a secret in the law firm; the new assistant just hadn't caught on yet.Jason seemed to be declaring their relationship to the public now by openly holding Iris' hand in front of everyone.Brad was dumbfounded. "Is this for real?"Iris smiled and said half-jokingly, "It's not; he's just kidding." As she spoke, she withdrew her hand from Jason's grip.With his hand now empty, Jason studied Iris with a slight frown."Let's talk upstairs," Iris said, walking ahead, unfazed by the scrutinizing and disdainful glances from their colleagues.The disdainful glances probably came from the group of people who liked to gossip about

She was clearly trying to avoid him.She nodded and said, "Okay."She would take this time to compose herself and contemplate what to tell him.Jason suggested, "Let's have dinner tonight. I'll be away for some time, so you won't see me for a while."Besides taking care of business, he also planned to visit some other places, so he would not be back for some time.Iris declined, "I have to go see my parents.""I can go with you…" he offered."Oh... No need," she quickly replied, waving her hand. "It'll be late, and I haven't spent much time with them lately. This incident happened because of me, and I want to spend some time with them alone. I'll spend the night there, so…"Initially, her refusal made Jason unhappy, but her detailed explanation sounded reasonable enough. It was indeed unnecessary for him to intrude on their family time. He nodded in agreement.After leaving Jason's office, Iris headed straight downstairs. She left the firm and walked home to get her car to dri
