Jordan shot Iris a single, glacial look, and she flinched, instantly letting go of him."Ah! You're so fierce!" she squealed."What exactly do you want?" Jordan asked, his voice like ice."You tell me," Iris replied, her fingers slowly moving to unbutton her dress. "I just want… a night with you, Jordan." Her voice was thick with brazen audacity.From the balcony upstairs, Claire's eyes widened as she watched the scene unfold.She had never imagined Iris could stoop this low. Stealing her fiancé had been bold enough—but now she dared to seduce her husband? And on the very night her own marriage to Calvin had just been registered? The sheer nerve was staggering."If that's all you came for… get out," Jordan said, rising to leave."Wait! Don't go!" Iris cried, stepping forward. "I really do have something to tell you about Claire! Don't you want to know how her parents died?"Claire's grip tightened on the balcony railing. Her parents… how did they die?
