Iris left decisively, without a moment's hesitation.In a fit of anger, Stanley kicked Ted in the stomach. "Why did you stop me?"Ted staggered backward from the impact. He bumped into the table behind him, knocking over plates and wine glasses.Lester and Henry quickly intervened, pulling Stanley back. "Stanley, Ted is just trying to help you. You and Iris are both heated right now; if your argument escalates, it won't end well."Ted steadied himself and straightened his clothes. "Let him go. If he wants to fight, then let's fight. I'm ready."Stanley sneered. "Oh, looks like you really do have feelings for her."When Ted saw Iris having dinner with another man, he realized he could no longer hide his feelings.He had already missed his chance once; this time, he intended to seize it.He had invited Iris today on purpose; he wanted to confront Stanley!"Yes, I've had feelings for Iris for a long time. I liked her even earlier than you did," Ted declared, finally revealing the

Ted instantly retaliated.Both men gripped each other's necks tightly."You know what, Stanley?" Ted struggled to say. "The moment I found out that you were flirting with Wendy, I knew you were playing with fire. I watched as Iris' love for you slowly disappeared. I never believed that she would touch drugs, but I kept quiet, wanting to see if you were foolish enough to trust that pretentious little bitch instead of her. And you were.""I had planned to wait until you sent her to prison, pushing her to the point of completely giving up on you. Then, I would clear her name and rescue her. But you and I both underestimated her resilience. From the moment she fought back in court, she had already given up on you. You were the one who crushed her love for you.""You bastard! How dare you set your sights on my woman?! You told her about me and Wendy, didn't you?""Wake up!" Ted shouted angrily. "I wouldn't stoop that low! You're with Wendy all the time; Iris isn't blind! Did I force yo

Yvonne discreetly checked with the doctor, who confirmed that Stanley's injuries were superficial and not life-threatening. Disappointed, she sighed and texted Iris: [I've checked; he's not dead.]Iris read the message but did not reply. After finishing her drink, she paid her tab and left the bar, her steps a little unsteady.Two young men in the bar had taken notice of her. Seeing a pretty girl drinking alone had given rise to bad intentions. They decided to follow her.Standing on the roadside, Iris checked her phone; it was past nine o'clock. The illumination of the streetlights cast a long shadow behind her. It was still early, but because she was in an alley behind the bar, it was very quiet. The cabs did not normally visit this alley.Feeling stranded, she called Yvonne. The call quickly connected. "Yvonne, I've had too much to drink. Come pick me up…"Before she could finish, someone covered her mouth from behind."Iris? Iris!" Yvonne called out anxiously.Iris' eyes

Iris was touched knowing that Yvonne had immediately rushed to her rescue. She was feeling relieved for having survived the ordeal. "Yvonne, thank you," she said sincerely."Why are you so polite?" Yvonne replied with a smile. She glanced ahead and added, "I'm not the only one you should thank."Iris felt ashamed. She couldn't believe she let something like this happen to her because of a scumbag like Stanley.She didn't even dare to look ahead. Averting her gaze, she said, "Thank you, Mr. Just.""You're welcome," he replied, his voice calm and indifferent as usual.After a while, they arrived at the hotel. Yvonne and Iris stepped out of the car, and Yvonne said, "Thank you."Jason nodded slightly, his gaze landing on Iris. Although she had calmed down, her face still looked pale.The concern in his eyes deepened. However, he simply said, "Goodbye."As Jason drove away, Yvonne linked arms with Iris and asked, "Do you know who he is? I'm surprised my grandfather is so well-acqua

Ted's eyes were filled with affection.Iris nearly spat out the water she was drinking. She quickly covered her mouth. "Ted, have you gone crazy?" she exclaimed. She couldn't believe he would say something like that. They had always been good friends, and his sudden confession left her uncertain about how to interact with him in the future."I know you feel bad for me and pity me for what I've gone through in my marriage, but you don't have to console me this way," she said, deliberately misinterpreting his words. She wanted to avoid complicating their friendship with romantic feelings.She could only be friends with Ted.She had just gone through a divorce. It was impossible for her to jump straight into another relationship. Besides, she did not plan to get married again. Men were untrustworthy, and love was a fleeting concept."I have something to do, so I have to go. See you," she said and quickly exited the restaurant, not giving Ted a chance to respond.When she returne

"Mom, that's enough. I'm a patient. I need to rest. I don't want to hear about children anymore. I'm the one who doesn't want children yet," Stanley replied.Iris had expressed her desire to have children quite a few times, but he thought they were still young, so there was no rush. He now realized that his mother might have been pressuring Iris."Hmph, you always defend her. She'll take advantage of you. I don't even understand what you see in her. She comes from a very ordinary family; both her parents are working-class. Yes, she has a good education, but what can she actually offer you? Beyond doing laundry and cooking, what else is she good for? She can't even give you a child. Before you got married, the young woman from the Just family expressed interest in you, and they even sent a matchmaker. If you had married her, you would be part of the capital's high society right now," Renee complained."The Just family is incredibly wealthy, their business reaching across the globe.

"Shut up." Stanley couldn't bear to hear Iris' name at the moment. He was in a bad mood.He had a nagging feeling that Iris might be serious this time.Picking up on his unease, Lester suggested, "Maybe Iris is just acting intimate with Ted to make you mad.""You think so?" It did not look like that to Stanley.Henry chimed in, "Ted said he's liked Iris longer than you have, but you dated her for three years and were married for four, so you were together for seven years. Could Ted really have liked her secretly for eight years? I find that hard to believe. Can a person really hold onto feelings for that long without wavering?"Yes, he was trying to comfort Stanley, but it was also true that he found it hard to believe. Henry thought that kind of devotion was unrealistic. After all, there's no true love in this world. Iris was undeniably beautiful, but surely that was not enough to keep someone secretly in love with her for eight years?Stanley's thoughts were in turmoil. "You

Iris replied, "I'm busy right now. I'll go home in a few days and tell you all about it...""In a few days? Are you crazy? Come home immediately!" Cassie's voice grew sharper.Iris realized that Stanley must have complained to her mother, and she couldn't help but scoff.They were already divorced, yet he had the audacity to complain to his former mother-in-law. He had no shame.Without further discussion, she hung up. She was determined to deal with the case first no matter what.To avoid any more distractions, she temporarily blocked her family's phone numbers. In order to not be found, she decided to stay in the Cloud District until the trial. She didn't have any clothes to change into, so she bought new ones.Seven days later, the client appeared in court, with Iris serving as his defense attorney. As she expected, there were flaws in the evidence against her client. The woman had also hired a lawyer and pleaded not guilty.This was a favorable situation for them, and Iris

Iris' heart tightened, feeling both sweet and bitter, "I did it willingly. You were only in danger because you tried to help me. You went to great lengths to help me save my cousin. I'm immensely grateful."She paused, then slowly raised her head to look at him, "I can't let you die because of me. If someone has to die, I'd rather it be me, not you.""Why can't it be me?" His tone was light, but there was a subtle hint of excitement in his voice.She must loved him very much to have the courage to rush in front of him in the face of danger.Death, what a fearful word.Yet she shielded him from the gun with no hesitation."You were there to help me save someone. Therefore, you can't die," Iris answered.That was what she genuinely thought at the time.In the quiet room, the sounds of their breathing could be clearly heard. Jason gazed at her, his eyes filled with a complex emotion, "You rushed over to shield me from that gun because I helped you save your cousin? It's because yo

She asked in panic, "Who is it?""It's me."It was Jason's voice. She breathed a sigh of relief.People always felt the most insecure when they're naked."You're done eating already?"Jason wasn't very hungry because he just woke up, so he only had a bowl of soup. That's why he came back up so quickly."Yeah. What are you doing? The doctor said your wound shouldn't get wet.""I'll be careful." Iris said.Jason frowned. "Are you taking a shower?""...Yeah," Iris answered softly."I'll wash you." Jason tried to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.He raised his eyebrows. "Iris...""I can wash myself." Iris hugged herself, thinking, how embarrassing would it be if he washed her?She didn't want that.Although they had already seen each other naked, her current appearance was not pleasing, and there was a gruesome wound on her body.She didn't want him to see her in this ugly state.Yes, he had already seen her ugly side, but... she couldn't just not care.She

Perhaps the sensation was a bit itchy, as Jason stirred. Iris quickly withdrew her hand, but Jason had already woken up."What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?" Having just woken up, his voice was hoarse.Iris shook her head, "I'm fine."She felt bad. "I'm sorry I woke you up. Go back to sleep."Jason raised his head and said, "Give me your arm."She smiled and extended her arm. Jason laid his head on her arm and said, "Hug me."Iris thought he was childish.She gently patted his back like she was soothing a child.Jason closed his eyes. Smelling her scent, he soon fell asleep again. He slept for a long time, only waking up at night.Iris had also fallen asleep, but she woke up a lot earlier due to hunger. However, seeing Jason sleeping soundly, she didn't want to disturb him. Her arm was numb but she didn't dare to pull it out, afraid of waking him up."Are you awake?" Iris asked.Jason looked at her groggily, reached for his phone, and saw that it was already past two in the

Since they would be staying here for a while, someone had to handle the household chores.It was clear that neither of them nor the two bodyguards were up for the task.Donahue had always been the one responsible for hiring cleaners to clean the place, so Jason asked Lewis to contact Donahue and inquire about the cleaning staff he usually hired.Lewis immediately made the call. Donahue said he usually hired temporary housekeepers who would clean and then leave. He provided Lewis with a contact to arrange for their services.Lewis personally selected two middle-aged women. The manager said they were very experienced and proficient in cooking and household chores.He brought the two housekeepers back to the island and settled them in. After that, Lewis went upstairs to inform Jason that the housekeepers had started work and dinner was taken care of.Jason's bedroom door was slightly ajar. From the gap, Lewis saw Jason sitting on the bed talking to Iris. It didn't seem like a good

Jason's condition was that Kaden must ensure he and his people left the country safely.After discussions with the other two families, Kaden agreed to Jason's condition. With the three families working together, it wouldn't be hard to ensure the safe departure of Jason and his people.Holding Luna hostage gave them leverage over the Morris family. This deal was mutually beneficial. Jason made the deal to allow Iris to leave the country as soon as possible. After agreeing on a departure time, he left the rest to Kaden and Lewis to figure out.Jason stayed by Iris' side.Two days later, they boarded a plane to Fiji. The earliest direct flight home from Northern Burrma was the day after tomorrow, but staying in that country for another day meant another day of danger, so Jason and Iris decided to go to Fiji first. She would recover from her injury there.Iris didn't want her parents to worry, so she thought it would be a good idea to stay in Fiji for a while. She needed time to rec

When he withdrew his hand from under her, it was stained with blood.Anxious and flustered, his heart felt like it had stopped beating."Iris..." His voice was hoarse and unsteady.Iris' wound was not life-threatening. The bullet had hit her lower back.Luna did not intend to kill Iris. She just wanted to keep Iris from escaping.Iris could feel the pain now. Her body trembled uncontrollably. She felt incredibly cold despite the warm weather."I... I'm fine..." she spoke weakly, her pale lips quivering.Jason held her hand tightly, "Don't worry, Lewis will be here with a doctor soon.""Are you... okay?" she asked hoarsely."I'm fine," Jason assured her.Iris' tense heart finally relaxed a little.She had never experienced such a nerve-racking ordeal before.It all felt like a dream.Scenarios seen only on TV had become reality. She was scared out of her wits earlier, but she tried to put on a brave face. She didn't want to be a burden to them.But in the end, as a powerle

When Iris looked up, she saw Luna standing behind Jason with a gun aimed at him.Her eyes widened, pupils shaking."Look out!"She rushed forward.Luna could have pulled the trigger as she had a clear shot at Jason, but when Iris shouted that warning, she saw through Iris' intention.In that split second when Jason turned with the gun, Iris hugged him and shielded him from Luna's gun.Luna's father had told her that Jason was off-limits. Harming him could lead to endless complications and may even result in the eradication of the Morris family!However, according to their investigation, Iris had no background, so they could use whatever means necessary to capture her. Even if she got injured, it didn't matter. Therefore, the instant Iris shielded Jason from the gun, Luna aimed at her back and fired a shot.At the moment of being hit, Iris felt no pain. Her whole body was paralyzed, unable to move.She slumped in Jason's arms.Jason held her falling body. "Iris!"He fiercely

"Let go!" Frustrated that she missed him with her attack, Luna grabbed a chair leg and swung it at Jason.Jason caught the chair leg and disarmed her, then flung her away with his other hand.Luna staggered several steps back and her waist hit a sharp object. She grimaced in pain.Blood seeped through her thin outer garment.Enraged, she exclaimed, "Catch Jason Just's woman! A reward of ten thousand for whoever catches that woman!"Her men, who were starting to be suppressed, began to fiercely resist again, reigniting the intense conflict!Gunfire rang out. The sound of objects being pierced mixed with screams created a battlefield-like atmosphere!Lewis rushed out of the hotel with Iris and headed for the car. Jason followed closely behind them after getting rid of Luna.However, due to Luna's words, her men rushed at them desperately.These people were desperados. They weren't afraid to die for money.The fight for profit among the families had always been fierce!Kaden's

"The back door is blocked," Lewis informed Jason. He was outnumbered. Facing the rain of bullets outside, he couldn't break through.Although Luna was a woman, she had years of experience. She wasn't a fool. She had already stationed guards at the back door.Holding a machine gun, she said, "If you surrender, I might let you live!"Jason and Iris were trapped in a hallway, with no way out!Clearly, it would be difficult to escape from the back door. Kaden's men were at the front entrance, so if they rushed out from the front, there might be a chance to escape amidst the chaos.Jason instructed Lewis to protect Iris. Seizing the opportunity, he fired several shots at Luna.Luna had to dodge."I'll draw their attention. Lewis, when you see the chance, escape with Iris," Jason said."Got it!" Lewis responded.He still had to be wary of the shots coming from the back.It was actually very difficult to rush out.Two bodyguards suddenly rushed in, attracting the fire of Luna and h
