Philip didn’t look at Iris but stepped aside instead.
When Iris walked out from behind Philip, she was still a little in disbelief. After being trapped by him for half a month, she had become used to it. She didn’t expect that she would really be freed.
She took two quick steps forward and came right up to Nora’s side.
Nora looked at her.
Iris knew what she meant. She shook her head.
Only then did Nora give a casual wave. With that, the people from the Quinn School of Martial Arts and Jordan’s men moved out of the way and allowed Philip to leave.
Philip, however, looked at Iris. “Iris, you can’t bear to let us fight, right? I know you are afraid that I would get hurt, so that means I have a place in your heart, right? So why can’t we be together?”
Iris lowered her eyes and sighed silently. “Philip, do you know what the biggest regret in my life is?”
Philip immediately answered, “That you didn’t leave with me back then!”
However, Iris merely smiled wryly. She really didn’t know where the man was getting all that confidence from. Word by word, she said, “My biggest regret is meeting you back then.”
Philip stumbled and he stood still. “What?”
Iris slowly said, “I said, my biggest regret is getting to know you. If I didn’t know you, maybe I would have been able to live in peace my whole life, right? I could happily get a divorce if I wanted to, and go wherever I wanted to, instead of being trapped by you in the suburbs of New York City for twenty years!”
Philip couldn’t believe it. “Iris, I don’t believe you. You must be trying to provoke me. Otherwise, why would you make Nora let me go so easily?”
Iris lowered her head. “I just don’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. I hope you can respect yourself and never approach me or disturb my life ever again!”
After saying that, Iris turned and left with Nora while Philip stood where he was.
“Iris! You’re lying! Everything you said is a lie!”
Philip shouted and rushed over to chase after her. However, he was stopped by Lucas and the others.
“Mr. Coleman, don’t force us to take action against you.” After Nora and Iris left, Lucas and the others also left one after another.
Only Philip and his men were left.
A shocked Philip stared in the direction that Iris had left. After standing there for some time, he finally looked at Jason and asked, “Tell me, Jason, have I really made a mistake?”
Jason sighed. “Boss, let’s go home.”
Philip shook his head. “Without her, where would my home be?”
Jason fell silent.
His boss’ love was simply too extreme. Probably no woman, no matter how strong or powerful she was, would be able to stand his love, let alone Iris.
Jason was about to say something when Philip suddenly turned around with a cold look on his face. He looked at the man who had tried to grab Cherry just now and suddenly demanded, “Who asked you to attack the child?”
