Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 712

Herman asked, "Aren't you married yet, Philip?"

Philip shook his head and immediately said, "I have someone in my heart I can't forget, no other woman can capture my eye."

When he said this, the look in his eyes as he stared at Iris had been persistent and terrifying.

Herman, however, was still unaware of what was happening. He said, "Oh? Then why didn't you marry her?"

Philip lowered his head. "I had concealed my identity at the time, so she thought I was poor and went to someone of higher social status instead."

Herman cursed the woman for being materialistic and shameless.

Iris flushed as red as a tomato as she listened to them from the side.

Philip, however, said, "It is instinctive to pursue a better life, so I don't hate her. In fact, if she is ever in trouble in the future, I would still be willing to help her."

Herman had immediately given him a thumbs-up. "You sure are magnanimous, Philip!"

Philip then said, "My family also has a lot of secret properties in America, it's just that most people don't know that. If you ever run into trouble in America, I can also be of assistance."

Herman hadn't thought much about it at the time and had thought that those words were directed at him. At once, he started chatting and laughing happily with Philip.

However, Philip's attitude suddenly became cold and he left.

Since then, he had never stepped into America again. It was only later that Herman finally understood why Philip had fallen out with him back then.

After he left, Iris had let out a long sigh of relief.

She admitted that her decision had betrayed Philip back then, but Philip had also hidden his family background from her. Wasn't that also a form of deception towards her?

Their relationship had ended without any real reason. They were ultimately just not meant to be.

When Justin was five years old, Philip had called her.

He was still using the same phone number he had used when they were in college. Iris answered the call. At that time, she had already found out about Herman's cheating, so she was in a bad mood.

Philip had only asked her a question on the phone: "Do you regret what you did?"

Did she regret what she had done?

Occasionally, in the dead of night, Iris would think of Philip. If she had been a little more firm and resolute back then, and if she had lived as unrestrainedly and happily as Yvette had, then would her life have been better?

But every time the thought formed, she would look at Justin.

Although she didn't love Herman, Justin was the greatest gift that God had given her.

She loved her son more than anything in the world.

"Mom, buy me harder Lego sets next time. These are too easy."

Her son with a super high IQ made a request with a frown.

Iris immediately smiled and said into the phone, "I have no regrets."

She hung up the phone.

Afterward, when Mrs. Hunt made her choose between tolerating Herman or doing something else, she had decided to be selfish for once. Perhaps her rebellious streak from college times had come too late, but she decided to file for divorce.

She dragged her suitcase behind her and left the house.

After that, Herman had brought Lauren home. After she came back from her trip and learned that Justin had been kidnapped and was missing, she had felt like dying.

Even with the Hunts and the Smiths' power, they couldn't find Justin. At that time, she had panicked.

Her five-year-old son, no matter how high his IQ, was still just a child.

If the other party was determined to kill the hostage, then he would probably have already become a corpse by then!

She didn't dare to wait any longer. In her panic, she inexplicably thought of what Philip had once said:"... My family also has a lot of secret properties in America, it's just that most people don't know that. If you ever run into trouble in America, I can also be of assistance."

She dialed Philip's phone number with trembling fingers.

The man seemed very hesitant, only picking up the call after it rang for a very long time. The man smiled and said, "Do you need something? It's my wedding today. The groom can't be absent, you know."

Iris didn't have the leisure to care about such things. Besides, so many years had already gone by, her feelings for him as her first love had already faded a long time ago. She immediately asked, "Can you save my son?!"

Philip was startled. "What happened?"

Iris recounted the story. At last, she asked: "Aren't you very powerful in America? Can you find him?"

"Yes, I can." Philip was very confident. "But why should I help you?"
