After the Cold Marriage His Crazy Love (Iris and Julian) novel Chapter 119

Chapter 119 Standing Your Ground

“You’re so pretty, but your heart’s rotten. Why don’t you just drop dead?”

“Your own life is a mess, so you hate seeing your brother and his wife happy? You won’t stop until you tear their family apart, huh?”

“I’ve never seen such an evil woman. God’s watching. Karma will catch up with you.”

Iris clenched her fists so tight her knuckles whitened. Her blood felt like it was rushing the wrong way, and her body trembled with anger. She bit her lip and took deep breaths, calm on the outside but burning with fury inside.

She’d put up with Emily bashing her online. Now, the thing she’d feared most had finally happened.

Zoe and David ran out. When they saw the women ganging up on Iris, they hurried over to shield her and pull her back.

David stepped in front of the middle-aged women. “What do you think you’re doing? Can’t you talk like adults?”

The women pointed at Iris, screaming insults nonstop.

David tried to defend Iris, explain the situation, and shoo the women away.

Zoe felt terrible for her. She pulled out tissues to wipe Iris’s face, muttering under her breath, “These crazy women. What the hell’s wrong with them? Are they out of their minds?”

Zoe cleaned Iris’s face, plucked the broken eggshells from her hair, and grabbed her arm. “Iris, let’s go inside. If they throw another egg at you, I’ll scratch their faces off.”

“I’m fine.” Iris gently pushed Zoe’s hand away and pulled her phone out of her bag.

Zoe frowned, confused. “Iris, if you stay here, they’ll keep insulting you. They might even hit you.”

“Let them.” Iris dialed a number and held the phone to her ear.

Zoe stared at her, even more confused.

Once the call connected, Iris said, “Hello, I need to report a crime…”

Relief washed over Zoe as soon as she heard that. That’s my Iris.

Iris looked quiet and fragile, like an easy target. But anyone who crossed her would regret it.

If Iris had run inside the research institute to hide, the women would have gotten bored and left.

But she stayed put, standing quietly and waiting for the police. More and more onlookers gathered. snapping photos and recording videos.

Ten minutes later, the police showed up.

9:23 am Pppp.

Chapter 119 Standing Your Ground

45 Pearls

The women who’d attacked Iris thought their numbers made them right. They ranted to the police without holding back, making up all sorts of awful lies about Iris. They talked over each other, painting her

as a monster.

The police figured it was just a catfight. They wanted to smooth things over and told the women to leave.

Iris refused to back down. “Please do your jobs fairly. If you brush this off, I’ll get a lawyer and sue you too.”

The police realized Iris wasn’t someone to mess with. Their attitudes turned serious fast. Two police cars took all the women who caused trouble back to the station.

Iris, the victim, went with them.

Julian got a call from Zoe and rushed to the police station an hour later.

He ran into the lobby, breathless. When he saw Iris sitting on a chair in the corner, he sprinted over.

Iris jumped up, surprised to see him.

Julian was out of breath, his face tight with worry. He grabbed her arms and checked her over, his voice

soft but frantic. “Did you get hurt?”

Why is he here?

His panicked reaction shocked her even more.

She froze for a second and then shook her head. “No, I’m okay.”
