Chapter 705 An Unfaithful Woman?

“Because…”

Iris had hidden the secret about what happened all those years ago in her heart for twenty years and had never mentioned it to anyone. Everyone in this world could criticize her, scold her, and hate her.

In fact, it was okay even if Justin refused to acknowledge her as his mother. However, the man in front of her was the only person who was not worthy of speaking about her relationship with her son!

She stared at Herman, though, there wasn’t any anger in her. She merely felt that the man couldn’t get any more thick-skinned than he already was. She sneered and slowly said, “It’s all because of the fantastic things you did back then!”

Herman frowned when he heard this. “What does it have to do with me? You were obviously the one who was unfaithful!”

“You—!”

Iris really found his words ridiculous to the extreme. She stared at Herman. A short while later, she sneered, “It’s been twenty years. Your ability to reverse right and wrong and twist the truth has really improved!”

Herman wanted to speak again, but Lauren walked in through the door and interrupted their conversation. She said, “That’s enough. Dear, Iris, don’t argue anymore. I know you still hold a grudge against Herman, but it’s already been twenty years now, so what’s the point of doing that to yourself? Justin has already grown up. What Herman did for you back then is already good enough. He has already given up all of his inheritance to the family assets for the two of you… He practically left the family penniless.”

Lauren sighed. “You don’t know how difficult it has been for us to start from scratch when we were abroad all these years.”

Iris: “?”

What a clever way of phrasing things. Those who didn’t know better might really have thought that Herman was a good man!

Iris was not a woman of forbearance. She said eloquently, “How come I don’t remember Herman leaving the Hunts penniless back then? Weren’t the company shares from back then his father’s? Just because his father had chosen Justin over him as the heir to the family, it somehow ended up becoming him giving the assets to me and my son?”

A sharp look flashed across Lauren’s eyes. “Sigh, you don’t understand. It was Herman who took the initiative to withdraw from the fight because he felt that he had let the two of you down. Otherwise, why would the old sir have chosen a child, who was only five years old, over him?”

She sneered and said, “So, am I supposed to be thanking the two of
