Hearing the door open, Iris suddenly remembered that she’d forgotten to lock it. She immediately minimized everything on her screen and restored her desktop to its normal appearance before turning around.
The door was open, but no one entered.
Instead, Ares Barclay’s voice came from the hallway.
“I was going to knock, but the door opened as soon as I touched it. So… may I come in?”
Iris wasn’t sure whether he’d seen anything on her computer.
From that distance, he probably couldn’t have made anything out.
With that thought, she nodded.
“Come in. Do you need something?”
“Nothing important. I just came to get you. Everyone’s waiting downstairs for a late–night snack.”
Richard and Eleanor had been worried that their daughters wouldn’t eat enough at the banquet, so they had prepared an elaborate late–night meal for them.
As the door opened wider, the aroma of grilled meat drifted upstairs.
“Barbecue is always better when there’s a crowd to enjoy it together!”
Eleanor smiled and waved the two of them downstairs.
Chloe was already seated at the table next to Vincent. She deliberately kept a gloomy expression on her face, waiting for Vincent to ask what was wrong.
“What’s the matter? Didn’t you have fun today?” Vincent immediately noticed and frowned.
Chloe had always loved attending banquets. Why had she returned looking so unhappy?

“It’s nothing… I just feel bad for Iris.”

The moment she said that, everyone at the table put down their utensils and looked at her.
“What do you mean?”
“At the banquet today, while Stellar Venture’s CEO was giving a speech, Iris’s adoptive parents suddenly rushed out and accused her of having an inappropriate relationship with him…”
Having successfully planted the seed, Chloe lowered her head and resumed eating.
“What kind of people would do something like that? Iris, what happened?” Eleanor looked completely bewildered. “And how do you even know Mr. Walker?”
Vincent placed a piece of grilled meat into Iris’s plate and offered an explanation. “Iris manages Venus. She was probably trying to secure an investment from Stellar Venture. They may have spoken a few times.”
Richard considered it and nodded.
That made sense.
After all, what company wouldn’t want to work with Stellar Venture?
Still…
Those adoptive parents.
Before bringing Iris home, they had investigated her background. The Sutton family in Kingsley had been fairly wealthy.
How had they gone from that to publicly slandering her at a Stellar Venture banquet?
Thinking back, they had never visited Iris once after she left their household.
“Iris, did the Sutton family treat you badly?”
“Sir, Ma’am, I actually know something about that.” The family butler suddenly spoke up..

“Miss Iris didn’t want me to tell you before, but she was actually thrown out of the Sutton family. I happened to be there when I went to pick her up.”
“She was thrown out?” Chloe hadn’t expected this bonus information. She looked at Iris with carefully crafted surprise. “Did you do something that got you kicked out?”
“I don’t know the full details,” the butler replied. “It seemed to involve the Sutton family’s biological daughter. But regardless, they definitely didn’t treat Miss Iris well.”
Eleanor’s heart ached as she listened. She immediately reached for Iris’s hand.
“Iris! You should have told us about this much sooner! You’re our precious daughter. We had no idea they treated you like that!”
Vincent moved even faster. He had already found Sutton Corporation’s information on his phone.
“The Sutton family from Kingsley… this is the company.”
He scrolled through several pages.
“It’s not very large. Their stock price has been falling recently. We could just acquire it and let Iris run it for fun.”
“No.”
The moment Iris heard the word acquire, she rejected the idea.
The Sutton family was already on the verge of collapse. She had no need for a company like that.

Chloe hadn’t expected things to go this way. She had wanted her parents to question Iris’s relationship with Zane Walker. Instead, they trusted Iris so completely that they immediately began defending her.
