Chapter 805



.

Iris looked very calm.

She walked briskly towards the control room.

Philip was managing some work issues there. There were many places that the consortium needed him to sign off on.

At that moment, Jason was standing in front of Philip and said respectfully, “We have received news from a reliable source. Our people have also gone to New York to take a look. We have confirmed that Justin has indeed passed away.”

Philip pursed his lips. “King hasn’t contacted us lately, has he?”

“That’s right.”

Jason said, “Since Justin passed away, King hasn’t inquired about our men again. I guess King’s sudden appearance may have been because of Justin. Now that he’s gone, King doesn’t care anymore. Chief, you have nothing to fear, can we go home now?”

Your imagination starts at g Ɐ ln σ ν𝒆 𝓁s․conn Since King had contacted them, he and his subordinates were holed up in the cruiser and could not return.

Philip was wary of King.

Now that Justin was gone, there was nothing to worry about.

Philip’s expression was tense. Suddenly he said, “Tell me, how should I tell her about this? How will she accept it?”

To save her son, she, who had always been proud, had lowered her head to him.

For her son, she voluntarily locked herself in a suburban villa for 20 years. Now that her son was dead, what was to become of her?

Thinking about this, Philip said, “Let’s not go ashore yet.”

“Yes, sir.”

Jason vaguely understood something. The chief did so because Iris would hear the news when they got to shore. At that point, she might not be able to handle it.

Besides, there were too many uncertainties on the shore.

King’s attitude was ambiguous. What if King came for her immediately after they reached the shore and took her away?

Philip wanted to watch her for a while longer.

The two had just finished talking when Iris suddenly pushed open the door. She looked straight at Philip, “I want to go downstairs. I want to go home.”

Philip and Jason exchanged glances. Jason lowered his head respectfully and walked out.

Only Philip and Iris were left in the room.

Philip took two steps toward Iris. “Iris, you know about Justin? But it’s useless for you to go home now. The people I sent have already confirmed that his body has been burned and buried. There’s no point in you going back now.”

Iris closed her eyes in despair.

She clenched her fists tightly and her voice trembled slightly. “Let me go back and take a look. I’ll go see him…and Cherry, Pete, Xander. Oh, Nora too. They must be very sad. I want to go back…”

Philip kept smiling. “Iris, don’t worry. They are living well. Nora took control of the company and will hand it over to your son in the future. You have already sacrificed more than twenty years for your son. How many decades can a person have in his life? You abandoned me for 20 years. Now that he is gone, I will accompany you for the next 20 years…”

“I don’t need you to accompany me!”

Iris looked at him sadly. “Philip, let me go, I’m needed now!”

Philip looked down. “I told you he’s already in the coffin. It’s useless even if you come back! Iris, for you, I’ve never done anything to your son. It’s fate that he died in an accident! The universe has given me your future. I won’t let it go.”

Iris gritted her teeth and glared at him. “Philip, you pervert! If you don’t let go of me, I’ll only hate you.”

“It doesn’t matter if you hate me.”

Philip looked at her greedily. “Iris, I understand now. Even if you’re unwilling, as long as you’re by my side, it’s okay. For the past twenty years, I’ve taken your feelings into account. That’s why you and I couldn’t be together for so long. Now, I want to be selfish for once. I want to be selfish for us.”

Iris was furious and sad. Her words were very hurtful. “Us? You’re selfish just for you, aren’t you? Philip, you’re crazy.”

Philip nodded with a smile. “Yes. Even if I am crazy, it is you who has driven me crazy. Therefore, Iris, you have to take responsibility!”

“You!”

Iris pointed at him, speechless.

Philip’s expression turned a little cold. Suddenly he threw a dagger across the table. The metal clashed loudly.

Philip said, “Unless you can kill me, don’t even think about leaving.”

Iris stared at the dagger and suddenly picked it up. She pointed it at Philip’s heart, “I’m going to kill you!”

“Kill me then!” Philip laughed. The originally grim man had an exotic beauty. At that moment, he was even more sinister. There was madness in his eyes. “Leaving you hurts more than death. If you kill me and leave, I won’t feel pain anymore. Come on!”

He grabbed Iris’s hand and used a little force. The tip of the knife pierced her skin. He stared at her. “Can you take it?”

Could she withstand it?

At such close range, Iris could see that the corners of the man’s eyes already had wrinkles.

They were both old.

As she thought, Philip exerted force on her hand. The dagger dug deeper into his chest and blood gushed out.

The warm blood brought Iris back to reality. She unconsciously took a step back and let go. The dagger fell to the ground.

Philip looked at her and laughed out loud. “You can’t do that, deep down you love me! Iris, don’t kid yourself.”

Iris looked at the person in front of her. She didn’t know why he was so stubborn.

But after all, he was someone she had sincerely loved….

She smiled bitterly and suddenly turned to leave the room.

After she left, Jason came in and listened to Philip’s instructions, “Don’t dock for the next two months. Use a helicopter to supply you. Also, find the person who leaked the news and kick her off the cruise.”

His eyes were merciless and filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent.

Jason was surprised.

Wouldn’t he end up killing someone by throwing her off the ship?

However, he dared not resist. He lowered his head and said yes before walking away.

Philip smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes.

This was the happiest moment of his life. No matter what happened, even if the sky collapsed and the earth exploded, it couldn’t stop him from being with Iris!

Just as he was thinking about this, Jason came running in. “Chief, something’s happened!”

On deck.

Philip had just come running in when he saw Iris standing on the edge. The wind was fluttering her white dress and she looked like she was about to fall into the sea.

She looked at Philip and said word for word, “Heh. Said. That. I. want. to. Go. Home.”
