Semua Bab Moving On from a Cheater: Bab 1 - Bab 10

On the day Iris Glover was prosecuted in court by her husband, it was snowing heavily.From their courtship to their marriage, they had been together for seven years. She had always believed in his love for her; they were happy together. However, everything changed when he personally prosecuted her in court because of an accusation made by Wendy Rain.During the trial, the judge stated the case: "On November 23rd, during a drunk driving checkpoint on Westfield Road, a prohibited substance was discovered in the vehicle driven by the defendant, Ms. Iris Glover. We are here today to address these charges.""Prosecutor, please present your statement."Stanley Stein stood tall in a black suit, exuding seriousness. When he looked at his wife, there was only disappointment and indifference in his eyes. "On November 23rd, Ms. Glover drove a white car, license plate V8861, in which five grams of prohibited substance was found. Ms. Glover claims Ms. Wendy Rain had called her to pick up her i

She wasn't in the kitchen.She wasn't in the bedroom either.He pulled out his phone to call her and found that the screen was filled with transaction notifications. Because he did not want to be disturbed, he had put the phone on silent mode.He reviewed the transaction records.[XX Bank] These are the transactions made on November 29th from your account ending in 0081:15:17: Transaction of $5,03415:26: Transaction of $9,88915:45: Transaction of $5,00016:00: Transaction of $13,80016:12: Transaction of $11,000...The long list of transactions made him frown. He tried calling Iris, but there was no answer, intensifying his frustration. It wasn't the money that annoyed him; rather, her absence left him feeling empty. He tugged at his collar irritably. It felt suffocating despite not being tight.He decided to distract himself with work and headed to the study.When he entered the study, he immediately spotted the divorce agreement on the desk along with Iris' wedding rin

Professor Aston had also reached retirement age, but he had benefited from Stanley's success."I've let Professor Sandler down," Iris said, turning to look out the window. Professor Sandler had invested so much in her, even giving her more attention than his own granddaughter, Yvonne. Yet, she had repaid his faith with disappointment, ultimately leading to his humiliation and early retirement. And it was all because she was blinded by love.Tears brimmed in her eyes."Oh, don't blame yourself. That stubborn old man and Professor Aston have always been at odds. It's been so long, so stop dwelling on it," Yvonne comforted, feeling flustered at Iris' tears.To lighten the mood, she said with a chuckle, "Besides, if we're talking about making him angry, you can't even compare to me. He wanted to groom me as his successor, but I ended up in finance. He was so upset he didn't eat for three days!"Professor Sandler had been trying to nurture Yvonne since she was young but she honestly had no

After saying that, Iris walked past Stanley without stopping. Stanley was infuriated.However, Iris had always been the one who initiated reconciliations after they had arguments, a pattern he had come to expect. The thought of being the one to relent this time felt unbearable, despite his strong desire for her to return.His mood was terrible, so he called his friends out for drinks to distract himself. In the private room, the atmosphere was tense. No one wanted to speak first.The news of Wendy getting arrested had spread. They all knew by now that Wendy had tried to frame Iris for drug possession. They had misunderstood Iris. They thought she had gotten into drugs because she was too bored at home. But it turned out Wendy had tricked them all with her innocent facade.The depth of Wendy's deceit shocked everyone. She had meticulously planned her scheme for three months to take Iris down. Those kinds of people were truly scary.They sat right next to you, but you had

Ted happened to see that interaction between Iris and Jason. Moreover, from his point of view, their interaction was very intimate.It made him scowl. He had completely lost his appetite.Iris retracted her arm. Jason did the same without saying anything.Upon entering the restaurant, they found the first floor fully occupied, so they went up to the second floor and chose a table near the window."Do you have any dietary restrictions?" Iris asked.Jason replied curtly, "Nope.""What kind of flavor do you like? Mild, spicy, sweet..." she continued, trying to gauge his tastes."Mild," he responded, his tone brief and somewhat distant.Iris was speechless.Iris wondered how his wife or girlfriend felt about being with a man who was this cold.Living with a person like him must be pretty boring.Iris ordered several mild dishes that she had tried before, including the restaurant's signature chicken tetrazzini and mushroom soup.As they waited for their food, the atmosphere be
