Chapter 885
“You!” Leon paused as a wave of emotions surged through his heart.
He could not believe that Iris got on her knees to beg for his forgiveness in front of the entire city. He could only
imagine how much courage that took!
However, most importantly, Iris was always the love of his life. Even after what went through, his feelings. for her
did not change, but he just learned to suppress them with time.
How could he even resist this, knowing that Iris gave up all her pride and dignity to beg for his forgiveness?
He could no longer suppress the emotions that he felt, and was beginning to change his mind.
Cynthia’s face turned pale at this sight. She knew that Leon still loved Iris and that no man could resist any woman’s
tears. Now that Iris burst into tears right in front of Leon and even got on her knees to beg for reconciliation, she

What would happen to her then?
“That’s enough, Iris! I’m warning you this is my and Leon’s engagement, and your presence is not welcome here.
Please leave right this instant, or else!” Cynthia bellowed.
There was only one thought in her head, which was that she had to get rid of Iris as soon as possible. If Iris
continued to beg, there was a high chance that Leon would give in and agree to reconcile with her!
“Or else what? Do anything you want to me! I won’t leave unless Leon agrees to get back together with me!” Iris
replied in determination.
“You! Well, since you have a death wish, I’ll gladly fulfill it!” Cynthia was utterly fuming at this moment. Without a
second thought, she got into a fighting stance and sent a punch surging Iris’s way, concentrated with a powerful
burst of energy.
She was a good fighter and already attained the Intermediate Innate State. Therefore, one could only imagine the
power that was packed in her punch!
“Thud!”
Iris was considerably weaker than Cynthia was, and was naturally no match for her at all. On top of that, she did not
even try to dodge Cynthia’s attack, so Cynthia’s punch landed squarely on her chest, sending her flying through the
air.
Iris’s entire body soared across the stage like a kite without its string and landed on the ground with a thud. as she
spat out a mouthful of blood.
This chain of events happened so quickly that Leon did not even get to stop her. He watched in sheer horror as Iris
landed on the ground in a heap.
“What are you doing, Cynthia? Why did you injure Iris?” the color drained from his face as he stormed toward Iris

“I didn’t think she’d stand there and take it. I didn’t mean to do it,” Cynthia was dismayed at this and did not know
what to do at all. She intended to kick Iris out of the party, but she lost control of herself amidst the rage and
accidentally injured Iris instead.
At the same moment, Louisa and Ariel stormed onstage.
“Leon, you bastard! It’s all your fault that my cousin keeps getting hurt! She wouldn’t even be in this state if you
didn’t turn her down so many times! Get away from her, and don’t you dare touch her!” Louisa shot Leon a
murderous glare as she shoved him away and tore Iris out of his arms.
“Are you okay, Iris?”
“How are you doing? Are you feeling okay?”
Louisa and Ariel asked in concern.
“I’m fine,” Iris’s face was pale, and a drop of blood clung to the edge of her lip. It was clear that she suffered
significant internal injuries.
