Thousands of Brilliant Stars: You Deserve the Best!-Chapter 186: Five Whole Years Without Anyone Daring to Challenge Me
Hearing Iris Crawford say "Goodbye," Steven Rhodes knew she had already made up her mind.
Once she decides on something, who can change it?
Steven stood there, "How did you know about the field I’m researching..."
"I saw the documents you borrowed on your desk last time, Steven. The field of pharmaceutical chemistry has no connection with The Crawford Family’s direction, and you could have been a successful pharmacist, yet you chose to be my assistant, really a case of a talented person wasted."
Iris stepped forward and gently touched Steven’s face.
At that moment, Steven realized that even someone as cold-hearted as Iris could have a soft palm.
With the report signed, Steven knew that by signing his name, he might have nothing more to do with Iris.
He took a deep breath, "I understand, Iris, I will return to see you as a better version of myself."
"The savings you’ve accumulated over the years by my side are enough to support you, and your sister will soon be released from prison, you just need to go pick her up."
Iris said softly, "Don’t make me regret helping you, Steven."
Steven gave Iris a deep look, his eyes reddening with emotion.
This woman, defiant and unabashed, acting with unrestrained arrogance, yet somehow... she possesses the strength to love everyone in the world.
Steven handed his resignation letter to Iris, "I have signed it, please review it, President Crawford."
Iris took it, and upon seeing the signature, her heart trembled.
When she looked up, Steven had already left the office, his departing figure upright, time flowing by, and Iris seemed to see his youthful and innocent self from five years ago, then he vanished.
The resignation letter had a line at the bottom.
[If I’m back and you’re still not married, why not try being my girlfriend.]
Iris smiled, folded the resignation letter, and placed it carefully into the drawer.
******
Originally thinking today would be a calm day, aside from personally sending Steven off, unexpectedly, someone came looking for her in the afternoon. Hearing her unfamiliar assistant report a familiar name, Iris was still a bit taken aback.
"Evelyn Rowan?"
Iris sneered inwardly, what is she coming here for?
But before she could give the order to meet, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door, and moments later, the owner of the footsteps burst into Iris’s office. Looking closely, it was indeed Evelyn Rowan!
Iris instinctively frowned, "Do you take our company as your home? Coming and going without orders—"
Before she could finish speaking, Evelyn raised her hand and slapped Iris on the face!
This sudden act stunned the assistant on the side, who quickly stepped forward to stop it, "Security! Call security now!"
"Security? Even the emperor couldn’t protect you!" Evelyn had lost all semblance of the proper etiquette she maintained in public, squinting her eyes with hatred towards Iris, saying, "You despicable woman, what did you whisper to Lachlan that made him blame me for everything!"
Iris’s head was still tilted when Evelyn raised her hand for a second slap, "What did you say to Lachlan! Why would he blame me! Everything was fine for five years, you twice-divorced liability, what gives you the right to make Lachlan so distraught!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
As Evelyn finished the last sentence, her palm was already swinging towards Iris. But in the next second, Iris tilted her head, effortlessly dodging Evelyn’s slap.
Evelyn was stunned.
Her... movements are so fast.
"A whole five years."
Iris gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her bright red nails seemed to flow like a current. The pain made her sneer like a ghost, the familiar sensation made her invigorated, and she lowered her voice, speaking one word at a time, "It’s been a whole five years since a woman as vile and stupid as you came to my door and yelled at me."
