After a quick examination, Iris’s expression darkened.

The blisters had already formed, and beneath them the skin showed a mottled red-and-white coloration.
This was a deep second-degree burn.
She immediately performed emergency treatment before arranging transport to the hospital.
Gordon briefly regained consciousness on the way.
The moment he saw the condition of his right hand, he fainted again.
Two employees hurried him to nearby St. Grace Medical Center.
Iris turned toward Ares.
“We should go too. He still needs that hand to cook.”
Vivian watched Iris bustling around and didn’t dare interrupt.
Eventually, Ares arranged a car to take Vivian and Noah home.
Meanwhile, Olivia was escorted to the hospital by several restaurant employees.
Surrounded by a group of large men, she finally started feeling afraid.
Secretly, she sent Vanessa Sutton a text message.
When Iris stepped out of Gordon’s hospital room, Ares looked up.
“How is he?”
“He’s still unconscious. But it’s nothing serious. As long as he’s careful during recovery, he’ll make a full recovery,”
“Thank you, Iris.” Ares understood better than anyone how hard Gordon had worked to build his restaurant,
And he knew exactly how important those hands were to him.
Iris frowned slightly.

Whenever Ares said her name…
His voice was deep and magnetic.
For some reason, it always left her with a strange tingling sensation.

Before she could examine that feeling further, a shrill voice echoed through the hallway.
“OLIVIA!”
“What are you people doing to my daughter?!”
Vanessa Sutton had arrived.
The moment she came up the stairs, she saw her daughter surrounded by several men.
Olivia looked pitiful and frightened.
A bright red handprint covered half her face.
One employee tried to explain. “Ma’am, please calm down and let us explain—”
“Calm down?! If your daughter were being surrounded by a group of men, would you stay calm? Let her go immediately!”
Naturally, the employees refused.
This was the person responsible for injuring their manager.
Vanessa suddenly noticed Iris and Ares standing nearby.
Instantly, everything made sense in her mind.
“Iris Noir!”
“It’s you again!”
“You’re nothing but bad luck!” She pointed furiously. “Did you hire these people to bully Olivia? Just because Olivia has a better life than you now?”
Then she turned toward Ares.
“And you!”
“Don’t think Iris only has you!”
“She’s already involved with some company executive in an inappropriate relationship!”

“If I were you, I’d stay far away from her!”
Ares raised an eyebrow.
Then he lowered his gaze toward Iris and smiled.
“I had no idea Miss Iris was so impressive.”
Vanessa nearly choked.
Was this man incapable of understanding plain language?
She had just accused Iris of seeing another man.
Why was he still defending her?
The assistant manager finally lost patience.
“Ma’am. This has nothing to do with either of them.”

“Miss Olivia Sutton splashed our manager with boiling soup. His hand suffered severe burns.”
“No matter what, Lee’s Kitchen intends to pursue legal responsibility.”
Tears immediately welled in Olivia’s eyes. She decided to deny everything.
“It was the manager…”
“He looked down on me.”
“He would serve the same dish to Iris but not me. Why couldn’t I have it? I just wanted the same thing my sister had…”
The assistant manager rolled his eyes so hard they nearly disappeared into his skull.
“Actually, that’s exactly right. She can have it.”
“You can’t.”
Vanessa finally snapped.
Not even the police presence could stop her.
She pushed through the crowd and shielded Olivia behind her.
“It’s just some lousy restaurant! Why all this discrimination? And now you’re insulting my daughter? Maybe Iris deliberately framed her!”

Unlike many wealthy families in Capital City, Vanessa rarely attended elite social events. She had absolutely no idea what kind of reputation Lee’s Kitchen carried.
The assistant manager laughed coldly. “Can your daughter take one bite of a dish, identify every ingredient, and tell us how to improve the recipe? Because Miss Iris can.”
The entire hallway fell silent.
Everyone turned toward Iris.
Even the police officers stared.
This
young girl could identify recipes after a single bite?
Ares was equally surprised. He had heard Gordon mention an incredibly talented consultant before.
Many of the restaurant’s most famous dishes had been perfected under that person’s guidance.
He had never imagined…
That person was Iris.
Meanwhile, Iris looked completely helpless.
Gordon had successfully kept her identity secret.
Yet somehow, the assistant manager had exposed everything instead.
Seeing everyone’s attention shifting back to Iris, Olivia hurriedly tried to redirect the conversation.
“I don’t care who my sister is, but you can’t just accuse me without evidence!”
“There’s no surveillance footage.”
“Just because she says so doesn’t make it true.”
“Even if you call the police, you can’t convict me based on her word alone, right?”
That…
