Chapter 810

Philip didn’t look at Iris, but stepped to the side.

When Iris came out from behind Philip, she was still in a bit of disbelief. After being trapped by him for half a month, she had gotten used to it. She hadn’t expected that she was actually going to be released.

She took two quick steps forward and approached Nora’s side.

Nora looked at her.

Iris knew what she meant. She shook her head.

Only then did Nora make a nonchalant gesture. With that, the Quinn Martial Arts School people and Jordan’s men moved out of the way and allowed Philip to leave.

Philip, however, looked at Iris. “Iris, you can’t stand it when we fight, can you? I know you’re afraid of me getting hurt, so that means I have a place in your heart, right? So why can’t we be together?”

Iris looked down and sighed quietly. “Philip, do you know what the biggest regret of my life is?”

Philip immediately replied, “That you didn’t leave with me back then!”.

Iris, however, merely smiled wryly. She really didn’t know where the man got all that confidence. Word for word, she said, “What I regret most is that I knew you then.”

Philip stumbled and stood still. “What?”

Iris said slowly, “I said what I regret most is that I met you. If I hadn’t met you, maybe I could have lived in peace all my life, couldn’t I? I could happily divorce you if I wanted to, and go wherever I wanted to, instead of being stuck by you in the suburbs of New York for twenty years!”

Philip couldn’t believe it. “Iris, I don’t believe you. You must be trying to provoke me. Otherwise, why would you make Nora let me go so easily?”

Iris lowered her head. “I simply don’t want anything more to do with you. I expect you to respect yourself and never come near me or disturb my life ever again.”

After saying that, Iris turned and left with Nora while Philip stayed where he was.

“Iris! You’re lying! Everything you said is a lie!” shouted Philip and rushed after her. However, he was stopped by Lucas and the others.

“Mr. Coleman, don’t force us to take action against you.” After Nora and Iris left, Lucas and the others also left one after another.

Only Philip and his men remained.

A surprised Philip stared in the direction in which Iris had gone. After standing there for some time, he finally looked up at Jason and asked, “Tell me, Jason, did I really make a mistake?”

Jason sighed. “Boss, let’s go home.”

Philip shook his head. “Without her, where would my house be?”

Jason remained silent.

His boss’s love was simply too extreme. Probably no woman, no matter how strong or powerful, would be able to withstand his love, let alone Iris.

Jason was about to say something when Philip suddenly turned with a cold stare. He looked at the man who had tried to grab Cherry a moment ago and suddenly demanded, “Who asked you to attack the girl?”

Philip was not a good man.

But for Iris’ sake, he had wanted to keep the last of his moral boundaries in front of her.

When questioned by Philip, the man got a great shock and immediately dropped to his knees. “Chief, I was only trying to save you!”

However, Philip lowered his gaze, turned and walked away.

Jason, who was following him, heard him say, “There’s no need for a man who can’t follow orders to come back to us.”

Jason understood immediately.

“Yes, sir.”

This meant he was going to get rid of the man.

Jason followed close behind Philip. “Chief, you can explain to Mistress Iris that you didn’t order the man to do that. That way, maybe she won’t blame you anymore.”

Philip chuckled. “Would she believe anything I said?”

Jason was taken aback.

Philip said, “She didn’t start getting mad at me over this incident.”

Iris, who had returned home with Nora, was at that moment looking at the three precious children. With a sorrowful face, she looked at Nora and suddenly said, “Nora, if you have something you want to do, do it. I can take care of the children.”

Now that Justin was gone, he didn’t want to trap Nora with the Hunts.

If Justin was still alive, he probably wouldn’t want Nora to be alone for the rest of her life either.

For her son’s sake, Iris had already been miserable all her life. She didn’t want Nora to be like her.

Hearing this, Nora immediately said, “Yeah, well, it turns out I’m about to go find Justin too. I’ll leave the Hunt Corporation to you for now.”

Iris was stunned at her words. She held Nora’s shoulders and said, “…. Don’t be sad. It’s over, you have to face reality.”

Nora: “…”

She was puzzled for a while. Then, she said, “I’m not sad!”.

However, Iris became nervous. “I understand, you may not be able to immediately accept the fact that Justin is gone, but Nora, if you want to cry, then cry. You don’t have to pretend in front of me.”

She hugged Nora and continued to comfort her. “Justin wouldn’t want you to be like this. He loved you so much, I’m sure he would want you to be happy. Don’t waste your own life, life isn’t just about romance. Besides, you can still find another man if you meet a suitable one in the future…I know it’s not appropriate for me to say such things now, but I’m really afraid you’ll do something foolish….. Whatever happens, you have to stay strong. You still have your father and your children, okay?”.

Nora: “???”

Only then did she realize that she still hadn’t told Iris that Justin wasn’t dead!
