Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 172: Only Human, Full of Desire

Lachlan Wyatt had always believed he was in the right, as if he never needed to reflect on himself.

But now, with the truth laid bare before him, Lachlan suddenly began to feel afraid.

Afraid that he could no longer maintain his original image in front of Iris Crawford, all his actions’ motivations were now precarious; perhaps without Iris unraveling it, Lachlan had already realized how impulsive and foolish he was back then. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He held back from speaking, as Dante and Iris were still in a standoff. At this moment, Felix Crawford cautiously said, "What is the term for the divorce?"

Iris didn’t hide anything even in front of the child, "Dante and I have an agreement marriage, lasting for five years. After five years, our marital relationship should be terminated."

"Are you eager to divorce me?"

Dante felt a blow to his dignity when he heard Iris speak so openly in front of Felix, "Are you eager to fly away! You’re too unfaithful, is the outside world so alluring?"

Such words like ’unfaithful’ came out, showing that Dante was truly enraged.

He didn’t understand why he said that, logically speaking, as a foreigner, he shouldn’t care about these things, but why towards Iris...

Upon hearing this, Iris let out a cold laugh, took Felix by the finger, and headed out of the office, "Say whatever you want about me, just complete the divorce process, and I’ll have Steven Rhodes liaise with you. We’re strangers after this, so stop using your husband’s status to pressure me!"

Having said this, Iris stepped forward, knocking against Dante’s shoulder as he pursued her, "Where are you going?"

"Back to the Crawford Family."

Iris held her head high, seemingly unconcerned with Dante’s status, "I have fulfilled my duty as your wife for five years."

Five years... how did Iris and Dante spend those five years?

Lachlan wanted to catch up, but Iris walked particularly fast; after taking two steps, she embraced Felix and left in her car, her departing figure dashing and decisive, as if the words "look back" were absent from her life’s dictionary.

Dante and the entourage were left dumbfounded at the office.

James Chesterton swallowed, leaning toward Peach’s ear, "Perhaps only Iris would dare treat a Prince like that..."

Peach shrank her neck, "Forget Dante, I feel that Lachlan’s expression is frightening now... are they both secretly in love with Iris?"

"I don’t dare say, I don’t dare say." Sarah Shaw gestured with her hands nearby, "If Lachlan hears, he’ll definitely be furious with us."

******

The happiest about Iris and Dante’s impending divorce wasn’t Lachlan.

It was Orion Crawford.

That night, after hearing everything Iris had to say, Orion was heartbroken because his sister exchanged five years of her youthful happiness with Dante to preserve everyone’s dignity, including the Royals, the Cynthia family, and Skye Lockwood...

Yet he was also overwhelmingly happy because his sister was getting divorced!

Haha!

Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!

Orion’s hand trembled while pouring wine, almost laughing out loud, "Iris, it’s great you’re getting divorced! It’s great! I’ve prayed to Buddha daily for this moment, and finally, the heavens have eyes—you’re getting divorced!"

"..." Iris, amused and slightly annoyed, retorted, "Divorce is considered a disgrace to others, how come it’s such a grand celebration for you?"

"Hehehe." Orion placed the expensive wine in front of Iris, "Your brother prayed and worshipped for your return, finally, Buddha has shown a sign. Amitabha, it’s great this way, Fae Crawford, follow your uncle from now on, your uncle’s company is all yours."

"That’s fantastic!"

Felix took out a black card from his pocket, "I have Young Master Wyatt’s black card, and now I have uncle’s company, I feel like I’ll never be short of money again!"

Upon hearing this, Iris immediately glared at Felix, "Why are you doing this again? Last time you hacked into his account for gaming money, and now you’ve got a black card?"

Orion: ??? Nephew has secretly used Lachlan’s account for gaming money before?

"Not stolen this time, he gave it to me!"

Felix stuck out his tongue, "Young Master Wyatt gave it to me proactively!"

Iris was stunned.

Lachlan, a man who, like her, loved money and wealth, someone who prioritized his own interests above all else, had actually given such a valuable black card to... Felix?
