Chapter 98
His sexy Adam’s apple, tinged with a deep red, moved up and down a few times. Once he had calmed down, he draped her arm around his neck and lifted her into a bridal carry, one arm wrapped around her back and the other under her legs. Outside the club, he instructed the doorman to call a driver for them.
While they waited, two cars pulled up: Henry and Lester emerged from one, while Stanley exited the other.
Lester spotted Iris in Jason’s embrace and exclaimed, “Holy crap!“.
Henry, annoyed, shot him a look. “Stop screaming! Did you see a ghost or something?”
“No! Look!” Lester pointed towards the entrance.
Henry squinted. “Is that man holding Iris?”
“Who else could it be?” Lester’s eyes widened. “Who is that man?”
Henry thought he looked familiar. “I think that’s the young master of the Just family.”
Lester’s eyes grew larger. “Iris knows a man from the Just family?”
Henry shook his head. He had no idea.
“How will Stanley react when he sees them?” Lester glanced at Stanley, who was by the roadside on a call and not looking their way. The two exchanged glances and quickly moved to block his view, hoping to prevent a potential outburst.
Before Jason got into the car, his gaze swept over them, a hint of mockery glinting in his eyes.
Stanley ended his call and frowned at the two. “Why are you two standing so close to me? Are you guys okay?”
“Hehe, we really miss you because we haven’t seen you for a few days,” Henry said with a
chuckle.
“A few days? I was with you guys yesterday,” Stanley retorted.
“Oh, I forgot. I must be getting old. Who called you?” Henry asked, changing the subject.
Stanley’s expression darkened. His mother, who never visited his place, had shown morning after he slept with Fiora. She saw Fiora in his bed.

She forced him to take responsibility by getting engaged with Fiora.
The call just now was from his mother.
Stanley was in a terrible mood.
His mother annoyed him, and hearing Fiora’s name annoyed him too.

“Let’s go inside and have a drink,” he said, striding ahead.
Lester nudged Henry and whispered, “You said the man just now was the young master of the Just family? Maybe Iris was with him to provoke Stanley.”
Stanley was now with Fiora, and Iris had coincidentally also found a man from the Just family. Lester found it hard to believe that there wasn’t some agenda behind this.
Henry hadn’t thought of it that way, but Lester’s suggestion made him rethink. “But I’m not sure if the man just now was really the young master of the Just family. I’ve only seen that guy from a distance once. He’s usually abroad and is very mysterious. The media don’t dare to report on him either.”
“That’s true. The Just family keeps a low profile; ordinary people hardly know of their existence. But in our circle, who doesn’t know about them and their immense wealth?” Lester said. “The young master of the Just family is a generational genius in business, rising to fame on Wall Street at nineteen, shocking the world. Very few in the country have seen him in person. He’s a godlike existence who controls half of the region’s economy. He shouldn’t have the leisure time to waste in a place like this.”
Henry nodded in agreement. “There’s no way Iris knows him or managed to hook up with him in such a short period of time.”
Thus, the man from earlier could not have been the young master of the Just family.
Lester rolled his eyes. “Do you have to make it sound so vulgar?”
“If they’re not hooking up, what else could they be doing?” Henry shot back.
After a moment of thought, Lester smiled. “True”
Stanley turned back to them. “What are you two talking about?”
