Iris did not fall asleep all night while Lucia was being kept in prison for the trial result to be announced.
Everyone had been waiting to see Lucia being brought down. And Iris's frenemies kept calling her and ask her how Lucia failed to win the case.
Iris was both worried about her daughter and pissed. She kept tossing and turning in bed, which disturbed Henry's sleep.
Seven 'clock in the morning, before the sun had risen, Iris got out of bed.
Being woken up by the noises, Henry sat up with a livid face. "Why are you up so early?"
"Lucia is still in prison! How did you fall asleep? Figure something out!"
Iris was pissed that Henry could still fall asleep when their daughter was being detained.
Henry didn't sleep well and was irritated. "She made herself such a mess and she said she would handle it herself, didn't she?"
When Iris heard his words, she burst into tears. While crying, she kept cursing Henry.
Early in the morning, they had a big fight.
Rowan Scott, who had just returned from a business trip, walked over and saw Iris crying, he glanced at Henry.
Henry gave a hint at him and Rowan had to go comfort Iris, "Mom, stop crying. We have to go to Starry to solve this. Don't worry, I will talk to her later."
When Iris heard this, she finally stopped crying. "I went to her last night. She didn't want to give us a chance at all."
Rowan wasn't worried at all. "Don't worry, mom. I have something on her."
Iris took over the tissue handed by Rowan and wiped her tears. "What do you have on her?"
Rowan smiled. "I can't tell you. Although Starry doesn't have much power, if she really wants to break things up, she can hurt us somewhat."
"Are you afraid that I will spread it out?"
Rowan touched his nose. "That's not the case. I was just worried you might slip it."
Iris understood. Her son didn't trust her. With a snort, she replied. "Fine, just don't tell me, but you have to get your sister's ass out of this."
"Just trust me, mom. Come on, you have been crying all morning, you must be hungry, let's have breakfast."
Henry was already having breakfast, when Iris saw him, she was unhappy again, but she didn't cry anymore. She simply whined about him.
While the Scotts were having a fight, Starry slept until eight in the morning. When she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright.
The weather was good, although it was still cold outside.
After washing up, she turned off the AC in the room and made herself a sandwich downstairs.
Finally, she had settled things with Lucia, and she had finished writing the prologue of her new book. Now it was time to finish her book.
She was not a prolific writer. Under the best circumstances, she could write two books in a year. Sometimes she could only write one book a year.
This would be her first book this year, it was called 'Take It Slow'. It was a scientific romantic novel.
This would be her first try at writing such a novel. She had written eight different prologues and finally got one right. However, when she read it today, she found that it was not perfect.
She frowned and was about to rewrite a prologue when the doorbell rang.
It was 9:15.
Who would come in the early morning?
