Dennis joked, "Fine, fine. Your temper is the best in our family."He was clearly being sarcastic.Iris smiled.Cassie glared at her husband playfully, prompting Dennis to serve her some food to keep her quiet.The dining table quickly fell silent. After a moment, Cassie asked, "Where's your boyfriend? Why didn't he come with you?"Iris' hand that was holding the fork stiffened momentarily, but she masked her emotions. "I plan to stay overnight, so why would I bring him here?"Cassie thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. She served Iris some food. "You rarely have dinner with us, so eat more."Iris responded, "You should eat more too. Both of you."The atmosphere at the dining table visibly improved. Although the house was small and there were only three people in it, it felt cozy.After dinner, Iris washed the dishes while the elderly couple retired to their room early.When she was done with the dishes, Iris went into her room and lay down. She felt a bit awkward; s

Iris did not expect Liandra to bring up a topic that was so helpful to the case right away."Can I record this?" she asked.Liandra nodded softly.Iris retrieved a recording pen from her bag.Liandra continued, speaking despite her dry lips, "She wants all their marital assets. She never considered my feelings or how my life would be affected. In her eyes, all that matters is money."Her voice was low and hoarse, filled with profound despair and sorrow."She has never shown any concern for me, nor even a hint of love. Mother? I've never had a mother in my life."Iris listened in silence.Liandra released her pent-up frustration and dissatisfaction. "People say that mothers are the most unselfish people in the world, but I've never felt a hint of warmth from my mother. My entire life, I've never been loved..."She didn't cry; she simply narrated her experiences with a numb expression.Iris' gaze fell on Liandra's right wrist, which was unbandaged.Liandra had attempted suicid

However, when the prosecutor suggested that Liandra's suicide was due to the defendant's assault, Iris immediately protested. She knew this was not the case and presented evidence: the property sales contract of Liandra's first house, the purchase contract for the second house, and details about the difficulties she faced at work. These factors were the real cause behind Liandra's tragic decision to end her life. Ultimately, it was the indifference of those closest to her despite knowing what was done to her and the harm they caused her that made her feel life was meaningless, driving her to attempt suicide.After noticing the scars on Liandra's wrists, Iris had consulted with her primary doctor. The doctor revealed that the oldest scar on Liandra's right wrist was from three years ago. Aside from the recent life-threatening wound on her left wrist, there were several other scars on both wrists. She had attempted suicide a total of nine times.The prosecutor protested, "That doesn'

He thought he had gotten lucky and expressed his gratitude to Iris. "If her suicide wasn't because of me, will my sentence be lighter?" he inquired.Iris replied, "The judge will consider that at his discretion."While this factor may reduce his sentence somewhat, it wouldn't be that much. After all, what he did was deplorable. He molested Liandra multiple times when she was still a minor.Calling him a scumbag was too generous for him; he wasn't even worthy of being called human.Brad approached and pulled Iris aside. Before the presiding judge read the verdict, there was a half-hour break for the jury. Brad was present in court and had heard everything. "I can't agree with your actions," he told Iris. In his view, the old scumbag was the primary reason for Liandra's suicide. Despite Iris' strong evidence, he still hoped the old scumbag would be imprisoned for life, allowing him to repent for his sins.Iris took a sip of water and chose not to elaborate, as she had another

Glaring coldly at her daughter, Rinkah spat, "You should have just died."With a derisive snort, she stormed out. Liandra almost lost her balance, but Iris quickly steadied her. "Brad, hurry, go start the car," she instructed. Brad put away the phone and rushed ahead to start the car.Iris helped Liandra into the car."Go to the hospital," she said. Brad nodded. He glanced at Iris through the rearview mirror before he drove off.At the hospital, Iris asked Brad to buy some food for Liandra. However, Liandra didn't eat anything. She simply lay silently in bed.Iris stayed by her side.As evening approached, Liandra said, "You should go home."Iris had already given Liandra her phone number. She said reassuringly, "If you need anything, call me."Liandra didn't reply, but Iris knew she had heard. Tucking her in gently, Iris said, "I'll see you tomorrow."Liandra murmured a soft acknowledgment.Iris left the ward, gently closing the door behind her.Brad, who had been wai

Brad stubbornly argued, "You said 'most'. That means there are still a small number of people who enjoy curry in the summer. If both of us happen to dislike it in summer, of course it counts as a common interest." Iris chuckled, "Alright, if you insist on thinking that way, then so be it." She chose not to argue further as it was a trivial matter."I'm going to take a nap; wake me when we arrive," Iris said. Brad nodded, "Okay." He was aware that Iris had been getting very little sleep lately due to the case. As he glanced at her, he saw her resting against the car window with her eyes closed, looking fatigued. Out of consideration, he drove slower, a rare move for someone who usually enjoyed speeding and racing.When they reached the restaurant, Iris was still asleep. Not wanting to disturb her, Brad parked the car and pulled out his phone to play games while waiting. After about forty minutes, Iris slowly woke up. Squinting as she looked around, she asked, "Have we arrived?

Brad urged, "Hurry up and eat."Iris was speechless. How could the two of them finish so much food?She looked at Brad, wondering if he was throwing a tantrum.Brad was already eating. Noticing that Iris hadn't picked up her cutlery, Brad asked, "Aren't you hungry?"Seeing him eat so quickly, Iris realized he must be quite hungry. "I am," she replied, finally picking up her cutlery and starting to eat.After the meal, Brad drove her home. He dropped her off at the gate of her apartment complex."You live here?" he asked."Yes, but I'll be moving soon," Iris replied."Why? This place is very close to the law firm, so it's very convenient. Why would you move?" he inquired."I only rented an apartment here because my house is under renovation. My house is ready now, so I'm ready to move out," Iris explained."When are you moving? Let me know; I'll help you," Brad offered.Iris smiled. "I've already booked a moving company." She teased him, "As if a pampered young master like yo

Iris regarded Rinkah with a cold expression. "Please watch your words. Also, we're in a hospital, so keep your voice down. Causing a scene here won't benefit you in any way.""Oh, yeah? What can you do to me?" Rinkah shot back defiantly."I can't do anything to you," Iris replied, "but the law can certainly do something to you."Rinkah remained unconvinced, but her attitude softened slightly. "Are you threatening me?""I'm not threatening you; I just want you to behave like a civilized person," Iris said firmly. "Have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother? If you had shown a little more love to your daughter, she wouldn't be in this position today.""You..." Rinkah struggled to counter Iris' words, feeling frustrated. "You have no evidence against me, and you know it."In her mind, she hadn’t committed any serious wrongdoings. Her most serious wrongdoing was abandoning her daughter when she was very young. She had consulted a lawyer about that. The lawyer had told

Liandra murmured a soft acknowledgment and covered her head with the blanket. Iris watched her silently for a moment before quietly exiting the ward and gently closing the door behind her. Outside the hospital, Brad pulled up in his car, and Iris opened the door to get in."Am I a qualified chauffeur, Iris?" he asked, as if he was fishing for a compliment."Yes," Iris replied.Brad smiled.…Time flew by, and it was time for Liandra to appear in court again. This time, she appeared much more confident than before. Perhaps her previous experience had made her less nervous, or maybe it was the reassuring presence of Iris beside her.As Iris organized the documents, she felt a pair of eyes on her. Looking up, she saw Stanley sitting on the defendant's side, acting as her defense attorney. His intense gaze was fixed on Iris, but Iris calmly averted her eyes, focusing on preparing for the trial.Eventually, the presiding judge and jury entered the courtroom, and the trial officia

Iris' indifference and distance left Stanley feeling lost, filled with regret and heartache. He presented his defense while looking at her in hopes of eliciting a response from her rather than facing her silence."The plaintiff has lived with my client since she was four years old. Throughout her upbringing, her mother has borne the costs of her life, education, and medical expenses. When calculated, it's a significant sum – around fifty to sixty thousand. Additionally, as her mother, it's normal for my client to manage the property on behalf of the plaintiff when she was still a minor...""Please review the documents carefully," Iris interjected sharply, cutting him off. "The divorce agreement between the defendant and her ex-husband clearly states that once my client reaches adulthood, the property must be returned to her. Has it been returned? The defendant has taken advantage of her status as my client's mother to manipulate her into signing a loan. The evidence clearly shows t
