Moving On from a Cheater のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 141 - チャプター 150

Ted's head was bandaged and there was a stubble on his face. His clothes were wrinkled and disheveled. He was on the phone, pacing back and forth anxiously."Those are our company's main projects. All our funds are tied up in them, so we must complete them or we risk losing everything. We might go bankrupt. Find out who's behind this; I'll try to use my connections to smooth things over," he said before hanging up.Looking up, his gaze met Iris' through the windshield. They locked eyes for a few seconds before Iris got down from the car."Iris..." Ted greeted her uneasily."Don't call my name; we're not that close," Iris replied, her voice cold, trying to maintain her distance."Can we talk?" Ted asked, his palms sweaty.This was precisely what Iris wanted. She gestured toward a cafe across the street. "Let's go there."Ted hesitated because of his current precarious situation. "You live here, right? Can't we go to your place?""Do you think I would let you into my home?" Iris'

Iris hated herself for feeling this way. A little hardship like that should not have traumatized her so badly. Yet Jason reassured her, "You're doing great. Women are naturally disadvantaged in our society. You recently fell for the trap of a grown man. It's perfectly normal to feel frightened."She pursed her lips. "You're really good at making people feel better."In truth, she only fell for the trap because Ted was an old friend. That day, she was completely blindsided."Are you feeling better now? Do you want me to take you somewhere to relax?" Jason asked."Where?" Iris looked up and was immediately captivated by his strong profile and star-like eyes. He was undeniably handsome. After spending time with him, she felt as though he was an elder guiding her, providing her with comfort and support.If Jason knew what she was thinking, he would probably retort with, "Who are you calling an elder?""Can you ride a horse?" he asked.Iris shook her head. "No, I've never tried i

Iris bit her lip. She really wanted to try it.Jason smiled and encouraged her, "Go on."Given the height of the horse, she struggled to mount. Jason asked her to hold the reins and stand next to the horse's belly. He then got down on one knee, wrapped an arm around her legs, and lifted her onto the horse's back.As she settled in, she felt a little scared; the height was intimidating, and the horse felt restless beneath her."It... It doesn't recognize its owner, does it?" she asked nervously."Of course it does," Jason said."Huh?" The moment she heard that, panic surged through her. "No, find me another horse – what if it throws me off?""I'm right here," Jason replied, swiftly jumping onto the horse too, riding behind her. He took hold of the reins and wrapped one arm securely around her waist. "Don't worry; I won't let you fall."His hold was tight. Iris was acutely aware of his strong arm that was hugging her waist. Her slender body fit snugly against his.She could feel

Ted tried to get up and run away, but the woman merely shot him a disdainful glance. "The drug I gave you could knock out an ox. You're not gonna escape," she taunted.Swallowing hard, Ted asked, "Who are you? Why are you doing this?""For money, duh." As her fingers wandered into his collar, brushing against his sturdy chest, she added, "This is the first time I've done something that can make money while also pleasuring myself."Outraged, Ted threatened, "You wouldn't dare!"The woman chuckled, "Why wouldn't I dare? You're like a lamb to the slaughter right now. I can do whatever I want to you."With that, she began to undo his belt and take off his pants."Don't act all indignant. Look at you, hard as a rock already. I know you want it," she teased, her fingers exploring his sensitive areas.Despite his disgust, Ted felt an involuntary response to her touch, igniting his lust.Outside, Samuel leaned against the wall, urging the woman impatiently, "Hurry up."Ted looked towa

Ted screamed furiously, "It's you! You're the one who set me up and tried to bring down the Zeller family! Stanley Stein, I'll kill you!" He strangled Stanley. Stanley's arm was injured, so he couldn't fight back. However, the effects of the drug were still lingering in Ted's system, so his grip was not that strong.Ted's action was so sudden that it caught Lester and Henry off guard. However, they quickly reacted and sprang into action, prying Ted's hands away from Stanley's throat. Each holding one of Ted's arms, they dragged him off Stanley."Stanley, are you okay?" Henry asked. Despite the dizziness from hitting his head, Stanley shook it off, assessing his injured arm. His arm seemed okay.Using his uninjured arm to support himself, he got up from the floor.The woman stood to the side, bewildered by the chaotic scene unfolding before her.What's going on? Who are these people?Stanley turned to her, asking, "Have you called the police?"The woman, sensing the animosi
