Iris and Yvonne were talking to Professor Sandler at the hospital.Professor Sandler wanted Yvonne to get married, but he disapproved of her choice in Henry.He looked worried."You two are the same kind of people. What are you gonna do after you get married? Each having fun on your own? What's the point of getting married then? Just stay single."The reason he wanted Yvonne to get married was because he wanted to see Yvonne settle down, not cause more trouble."Grandpa, don't worry. Henry and I are like-minded, so we have a lot of common topics and common interests. When two people like that live together, they'll live harmoniously without a lot of conflicts. Isn't marriage all about spending your life with someone compatible?" Yvonne reassured him while peeling him an orange."Oranges are in season. This one should be very sweet." She offered him a slice.Professor Sandler ate it and looked at his granddaughter, "After you and Henry get married, what will you talk about? Which

Cassie was grateful to Professor Sandler for taking good care of her daughter.Cassie and Dennis lacked connections and education. They knew Iris' success was in large part due to Professor Sandler's support.Cassie may be ignorant, but she wasn't ungrateful."He's doing better.""Which hospital is he in? Your dad and I will go visit him," Cassie said.Iris told her the address, and Cassie jotted it down.They soon reached home. Cassie clicked her tongue when she saw the newly renovated interior. It was the same house, but no trace of the past remained.She set the food down on the table. "Come and eat, Iris.""I'm not hungry yet; I'll eat later," Iris replied, pouring water for her mother. "I was actually going to call you guys.""Why? Did something happen?" Cassie asked, accepting the glass but not taking a sip. Instead, she looked around the house."This place looks even better than before," she remarked."Mom, I'm going to Southerland tomorrow for a case," Iris said.Ca

"If you want to call for help, then forget it. That mouth stays sealed."Ted stretched lazily. After planning for so long, the moment he had been waiting for had finally arrived. He had a lot of things to say to her but he was exhausted. He had been secretly following her for quite some time, so he hadn't been eating or sleeping well.He locked the door, closed the windows, drew the curtains, and lay down on the bed. "Is it okay for me to sleep on your bed?" he grinned maliciously.A chill ran down Iris' spine.He greedily inhaled the pillow's scent. "Did you sleep with this pillow last night? I think I can smell your scent on it. By sleeping in your bed, aren't I indirectly sleeping with you?""Do you sleep with clothes on?" His gaze was uncomfortably intense, making her skin crawl.Ted was behaving like a predator. No, he was a predator. "We have plenty of time. After I take a nap, we can slowly catch up," he said, enunciating each word with a threatening edge.He hugged t

Iris could not believe how twisted his heart was.He was clearly the one who wronged her first.But now wasn't the time to argue about such things. Provoking him wouldn't do any good."Was I not kind enough to you? I love you so much, but you refuse to even look at me. You refuse to accept my love. Tell me, what's wrong with me? Huh?!"Iris could only feel intense pain. Her jawbone felt like it was being crushed. She struggled to squeeze out words from her throat, "You're great. I've always thought so...""Then why don't you love me?!""We're not... destined... to be...""I knew you before Stanley did. How are we not destined to be together?"Due to the pain, Iris' forehead was covered in tiny beads of sweat."Ted, I beg you... please let me go..."Ted looked into her eyes, hesitated for two seconds, then slowly released his grip.Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.Ted immediately became alert. He walked to the door and asked, "Who is it?""Food delivery."Ted gentl

Jason managed to obtain Stanley's phone number from Stanley's law firm since the major law firms were connected. With the number in hand, he immediately called Stanley.Meanwhile, Stanley was also using all his connections to search for Iris.Although he had arrived before Jason and even knew that Ted was the kidnapper, his progress was slow. He had only just obtained the surveillance footage of Iris getting kidnapped.Though the kidnapper's face was not visible in the footage, he knew it was Ted."Check this van," he pointed to the van's license plate in the footage."Yes, sir."His phone rang. He took out his phone, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen.His first thought was, could it be Ted? He immediately answered."Hello?"Jason went straight to the point, "Do you know who kidnapped Iris?"Hearing the low, deep male voice on the other end, Stanley immediately realized that the caller wasn't Ted, but Jason.How did Jason find out so quickly that Iris had
