Could they be as outstanding as Ethan?
Moreover, everyone in their circle knew why she and Ethan hadn’t married.
How could any man who knew the truth still pursue her?
But it didn’t matter.
She no longer needed other men to pursue her.
Because she already had Alexander.
Although Alexander wasn’t as exceptional as Ethan, he was still a remarkable man in their circle.
Iris looked at a group of her so-called friends.
On the surface, they seemed concerned about her, but in reality, they were gloating. They had invited her out today just to see her sad and distressed, to rub salt into her wounds.
However, she wasn’t a naive girl who could be easily bullied.
Before leaving, she had already told Alexander where she would be, and he was coming to find her.
Soon, Alexander would arrive.
When they saw Alexander, these so-called friends would surely be envious and jealous.
Even though she hadn’t married Ethan, she could still find an excellent man.
And she believed that Alexander was not inferior to Ethan.
Although Alexander couldn’t match Ethan in terms of family background and wealth, he was gentler and treated her very well. He was considerate and caring.
Marriage is a life choice that decides whether you can live a happy life.
Although Clara married Ethan and seemed to live a glamorous life, who knew what kind of life she led in private?
Ethan was such a cold and heartless man; how could life with him be good?
At best, they might live in mutual respect but indifference.
How could such a cold relationship compare to the loving affection between her and Alexander?
“I don’t need other men’s pursuit,” Iris said with a smile.
The other women looked at Iris in surprise. “Iris, you…”
Iris nodded with a smile. “Yes, I have a boyfriend.”
So soon?
She already had a boyfriend?
Was there still someone in their circle willing to take on a woman abandoned by Ethan?
Wasn’t that going against Ethan?
Who was so fearless?
“Who is it?” Alice asked curiously.
Iris smiled and said, “He’ll be here soon. You’ll know when you see him.”
They looked at Iris, becoming curious. Who could it be?
Judging by Iris’s demeanor, she seemed very satisfied with her current boyfriend.
Satisfied?
But she had been Ethan’s fiancee before, having had such an outstanding man like Ethan. What kind of man could satisfy Iris now?
Could it be… someone even richer and more exceptional than Ethan?
Otherwise, why would Iris be so foolish as to betray Ethan?
But no matter how hard they thought, they couldn’t come up with anyone in their circle who could surpass Ethan.
“Iris… look at this…” Brianna took out her bag and asked with a smile, “Does it look familiar?”
Iris hadn’t noticed earlier. Now that she looked at it, she frowned in confusion.
This bag looked very familiar.
It seemed like hers…
No, to be precise, it was hers.
If this woman’s bag was genuine, then it should be hers.
She remembered clearly that it was a limited edition bag Ethan had given her. There was only one in the entire city.
“Did you buy it abroad?” Iris asked, suddenly feeling uneasy.
“No,” Brianna said with a smile. “I bought it on a second-hand platform.”
A second-hand platform?
“Look… isn’t this the one you used to have?” Brianna asked. “I was afraid I bought a fake… but I thought it was unlikely since fakes are usually made of common styles. Limited editions like this rarely have counterfeits… And I had it authenticated. It’s real. Iris… why did you sell this bag?”
Brianna and the others assumed Iris had sold it.
Because it was a gift from Ethan, they thought Iris might have sold it to avoid being reminded of him.
She had spent a lot of money on this bag just to irritate Iris.
Iris said, “I had too many bags at home. I didn’t like this one anymore, so I sold it.”
Iris was furious.
She looked closely at the bag and felt sure it was hers-the limited edition bag Ethan had given her.
But she had asked Clara to return it to Ethan. Why was it on a second-hand platform?
It must have been Clara!
Clara hadn’t returned the items to Ethan but had secretly sold them on the second-hand platform.
How could Clara do this?
Those items were valuable. She had made a great effort to give them to Clara to return to Ethan, hoping Ethan would see them and think of her.
Maybe… Ethan would soften his heart?
But now…
She realized Clara had done it on purpose.
Clara didn’t want Ethan to soften his heart towards her again… so she secretly sold them.
Clara didn’t want Ethan to rekindle his feelings for her.
“Is that so?” Brianna said with a smile. “Even if you were selling things, you shouldn’t have sold this one… I remember this was a Valentine’s Day gift from Ethan.”
She remembered clearly.
At that time, Iris had specifically posted several photos of the bag on Facebook and brought it to gatherings several times… showing off several times.
“Iris… did you sell the bag because you didn’t want to be reminded of him?” Brianna asked.
“No,” Iris said.
She felt she could hardly sit still any longer.
She didn’t care about these malicious so-called friends anymore.
She just wanted to rush to Clara and ask why Clara did this.
Why?
Clara had said she didn’t like Ethan… so why did she do this?
Why lie?
“I already have a new boyfriend,” Iris said with a forced smile. “My boyfriend asked me to sell it. He was jealous and didn’t like seeing me use things given by Ethan. My boyfriend loves me very much and is very possessive.”
The women looked at Iris.
Was that so?
Iris suddenly looked up at the door, stood up, and smiled. “Alex… over here…”
The other women looked over.
They saw Alexander.
They frowned slightly.
They were unfamiliar with Alexander.
Alexander had been studying abroad and had only returned in recent months.
Moreover, he rarely appeared in social events after returning.
So most of the socialites in their circle were unfamiliar with him.
However… this man indeed had good looks and temperament, graceful and elegant, looking at Iris with gentle affection.
It was evident… he loved Iris very much.
And he was a gentle man.
Unlike the cold Ethan… he was a different kind of man.
“Darling,” Alexander walked over to Iris with a gentle smile. “I’m sorry I’m late.”
“No,” Iris smiled and pulled Alexander to sit down. “We haven’t been here long. Let me introduce you; these are my good friends-Alice, Brianna, Cloe, Dayanara…”
Alexander nodded gently with a smile. “Hello.”
“Hello.”
“This is my boyfriend, Alexander Barber,” Iris said.
“The Barber family?” Alice asked.
There happened to be a Barber family in Riverton.
That Barber family… was also quite prominent.
“Why?” Iris asked deliberately.
“Is he from the Barber family?” Alice asked again.
Iris smiled and nodded. “Yes, from the Barber family. His father is Michael Barber.”
They looked at Alexander… he really was from the Barber family.
The Barber family in Riverton was also a well-known large enterprise and financial group… although not as prominent as the Logan family.
To put it simply,
In Riverton’s wealthy circles, the Logan family was in the first tier, while the Barber family was in the 1. 5 tier.
With some effort and seizing an opportunity, they might even rival the Logan family someday.
They were jealous!
Although Iris had been abandoned by Ethan, she quickly got involved with the son of the Barber family.
Iris… who was quite ordinary in terms of family background and looks within their circle…
Why did she have such good luck with men?
And they were all wealthy and powerful men?
