All Chapters of Moving On from a Cheater: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

"I can squat down?" Iris asked.Jason reached out to support her. "Let's move over there and lean against the elevator wall.""Okay," Iris replied, but as she tried to shift her legs, she felt a cramp from standing still for so long. She bent down to rub her calves, and in that moment, the elevator suddenly plummeted."Ah!" she exclaimed, startled, instinctively grabbing onto something nearby.The rapid descent threw Jason off balance as well. He quickly caught Iris, maneuvering them both to a corner, one hand gripping the handrail while his other arm wrapping securely around her, pulling her close to his chest.Clang! The elevator came to a sudden halt, and Iris, still shaken, slumped against Jason.She breathed heavily, her hot breath brushing against Jason's Adam's apple.It was unexpectedly seductive. Jason's body tensed up. He didn't dare to move.Iris had yet to recover from the scare.After about ten minutes of stillness, the elevator showed no signs of moving further

Iris had actually wanted to make better food since she was inviting someone over for dinner, but the meal ended up being a bit simple."Next time, I’ll prepare in advance, so bear with me this time. You must be hungry, right, Mr. Just?""I'm okay," Jason replied.After dinner, Jason took his leave. Iris walked him to the staircase since the elevator was still out of order. She watched him descend before returning to her apartment.Once inside, she tidied up the dining table and went to bed.The next day, she noticed over ten missed calls on her phone but decided against calling back because she had a lawsuit to file that day. Denise had finished gathering evidence of her husband's asset transfers. Following Iris' advice, Denise acted like she was hesitant to end the marriage, but she was secretly collecting proof of the asset transfers. Her husband was the one at fault to begin with, and he also tried to transfer away marital assets. Iris felt confident about their chances in

Yvonne started her playful teasing again. "Is your client a man or a woman? Is he handsome?"Iris was speechless."What on earth is going on in your head?" she said, bemused."Ms. Glover," Denise had been waiting for her."Denise, my friend is a bit drunk..." Iris began, but Yvonne quickly straightened up and interjected, "I'm not drunk. I'm perfectly fine.""If you're Ms. Glover's friend, then you're my friend too. Care to join us?" Denise suggested.Without waiting for Iris' consent, Yvonne replied, "Sure!"Iris looked at Yvonne with a mix of helplessness and amusement on her face. The private room that had once belonged to Denise's ex-husband was now hers. Denise declared generously, "Let's have a good time! It's all on me!"Yvonne, who was familiar with the place, took the lead.This place wasn't only a paradise for men. It was a paradise for women too."Let’s start with ‘Paradise on Earth.’"Iris and Denise exchanged puzzled glances. What's "Paradise on Earth"? Alth

"Alright," Denise agreed, sensing the tension in the air. A fight might break out at any moment, so it would be wise to leave. After all, they were three women facing a group of men."I'll give you a ride, Yvonne," Henry quickly offered.Yvonne replied irritably, "You're a scum too. Birds of a feather flock together."Henry was taken aback. He hadn't done anything wrong. Why did he get yelled at?"I'll go with you guys," Ted said, leaving with them.Lester took a cautious glance at Stanley. Stanley's expression was dark, the simmering anger ready to erupt.No one dared to speak.Stanley turned, rushed into the crowd, grabbed Iris' wrist and pulled her away.When Yvonne and Ted realized what was happening, they tried to give chase, but they were blocked by Henry and Lester. "Let them talk," Henry said.Yvonne was about to curse him out again, but Lester cut her off, "They were married for four years and were together for seven years. Stanley just wants to talk to her. He's no

Iris smiled.[When will you be back?] she asked, almost as if she couldn't help herself, and immediately regretted it. It wasn't her place to ask her boss' schedule, so the question was a little rude, but it was too late to take it back.She felt embarrassed. Just as she was about to put her phone down, a voice message came through. She listened to the deep, husky voice in the message, sounding groggy as if he were half-asleep or slightly intoxicated: "I'll be back tomorrow.""Should I pick you up at the airport?" she replied.The response was simple: "Okay."As she was about to set her phone down, it rang again. This time, it was Ted. "Are you okay? Did Stanley do anything to you?""No," she replied."Where are you? I'll come see you."Iris, feeling drained, said, "I'm already home. I'm tired, I don't feel like going out.""Can I see you tomorrow?" Ted asked eagerly."I'm busy tomorrow," Iris replied."How about the day after tomorrow?" Ted persisted.Iris felt tired. "Ted
