Semua Bab Moving On from a Cheater: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Iris did not have the strength to escape, so spoke softly in an attempt to reach Ted's conscience. "I've known you for eight years, Ted. Even if I don't love you in that way... I've always considered you my good friend... and I've always trusted you... This is against the law... If you do this, I'll never forgive you..."Ted responded with a manic laugh, sending a shiver down Iris' spine. She felt suffocated by the darkness in Ted's heart."After we have sex, you'll fall in love with me. It's not illegal for a man and a woman who love each other to have sex, is it?" he said, reaching to unbutton her coat. "Do you know that I've never loved another woman in my life?"His fingers brushed against her delicate neck, making Iris' hair stand on end – Iris' body instinctively rejected him.Ted's voice dropped to a low, hoarse whisper. "I'm a normal man with needs. Do you know how I usually satisfy my needs?"Iris was the subject of his fantasy. Every time he masturbated, he fantasized ab

Mike, who was suddenly pushed aside, looked confused at first. However, Yvonne seemed to recognize the man, so he quietly stepped back.Jason assessed Iris. Despite the cold weather, her face was flushed, with beads of sweat forming on her forehead...Yvonne replied angrily, "She was drugged."Jason looked up abruptly, cold fury flashing in his eyes. "Who did this?""Ted Zeller," Yvonne answered. "I won’t let him get away with it."Without hesitation, Jason scooped Iris into his arms. Yvonne quickly went to summon a doctor.There wasn't really an effective treatment for Iris' condition. She was given a sedative to help her through the ordeal.Panting slightly, Iris complained, "I feel so uncomfortable..."Her hair was matted with sweat, clinging to her face and partially obscuring her features. Her lips were slightly parted, crimson and inviting, as she breathed heavily.The sound of her heavy breathing was unbelievably seductive."Everyone leave," Jason instructed."But—"

He dashed out of the hospital.Jason's phone stopped ringing, but soon rang again. He pressed the answer button, and a sweet voice came through. "Where are you, Jason?""I'll be there in a minute," he replied before hanging up.Looking at the screen, he recalled his regret for failing to notice Iris' messages right away. He thus marked her number as a priority contact – the only contact he had designated this way.He put away his phone and headed toward another ward.Yvonne already realized what Iris wanted to do. She asked, "Are you sure about this?"Iris asked, "Is there any reason to hesitate?"She was so scared back then. She couldn't fathom how her life would become if she was raped. Even now, she still had lingering fear.Fortunately, she had escaped unharmed!It's not that Yvonne wanted to stop Iris; she was just aware of how difficult it would be to convict Ted. The Zeller family would not tolerate such a scandal.Moreover, Ted went to law school too. It would not be

Jason stared at Iris' message. He wondered how she was feeling. He had a thousand words on his mind and many things he wanted to say, but he had to refrain from expressing them.Setting down his phone, he rose from the couch and headed to the wardrobe to get dressed. He had plans for the day.-Iris spent a long time thinking about the case. Without sufficient evidence, it would be hard to convict Ted. Therefore, she decided to draft an indictment first.She aimed to startle Ted so that Ted would come talk to her on his own. If evidence was lacking, she would have to extract it from him.She submitted the indictment. It would take some time for it to be processed. She had the day off, so she decided to visit her parents.To mask her pale complexion, she applied some makeup; she didn’t want her parents to see her looking unwell, or they would worry about her.Along the way, she stopped to buy some fruits that her parents loved.When she arrived at her parents' house, she rang th

Therefore, they didn't think much of the call, considering it just another part of her job. Iris went to the balcony and closed the sliding door behind her. Iris had only submitted the indictment earlier that morning, so she was surprised to receive such a quick response. Typically, it could take a few days or even a week to get a reply. She's puzzled, but she's not complaining."I understand," she said before hanging up, returning to the dining table to finish her meal.Cassie asked, "Do you have to go back to work?"Iris nodded. "Yes, I have to leave after the meal."Although her parents wished she could stay longer, they knew it couldn't be helped.After lunch, Cassie reluctantly saw Iris off at the door.Iris said with a smile, "Go back inside. I’ll come again in a few days. My apartment isn’t that far."Cassie hesitated, wanting to ask her to visit more often, but instead said, "Keep working hard. You don't have to come that often. Your Dad and I don’t want you to distu
