Chapter 189
At the party, everyone was a stranger except Aedan and Sophia.
Iris was bored out of her mind, but didn’t want to leave early, so her gaze unconsciously landed on Aedan not far away.
Acdan was chatting with two guys, looking calm and wearing a pleasing smile.
The two men in front of him were quite old, one of them even had white beard.
Iris judged from the way they were dressed and their expressions that the old man with the white beard was probably a politician, while the other one wearing a watch worth millions was likely a businessman.
I guess Aedan was introducing his new research project to the two.
Iris hid in the most inconspicuous corner, quietly watching.
In no time, Sophia walked towards them.
She didn’t talk to Aedan, just linked arms with the old man with white beard, and said a few words to him with a smile.
I don’t know what Sophia said to that old man with a white beard, but they soon left together.
The rich man saw the old man with a white beard leave, he politely clinked glasses with Aedan, and then left.
The smile on Aedan’s face faded.
Looks like the investment didn’t work out.

“Miss, by yourself?”
Suddenly, a man’s voice sounded in Iris’s ear
Iris turned her head and saw a man in his forties standing in front of her with a glass of wine, smiling at her.
He was a foreigner, and from his eyes, Iris could see a hint of playful disdain.
She smiled, put down the dessert in her hand, stood up, politely nodded, “Hello!”
The man looked her up and down, his gaze more intense, and sighed. “Such a beautiful lady, yet left all alone sitting here, it’s really pitiful!*
“I wasn’t alone,” Iris said politely, then pointed towards Aedan, “My friend is over there.”
“Oh, so you’re brought by Prof. Steele.”
The man raised his eyebrows meaningfully, then leaned in towards Iris and whispered in her ear, “I heard Prof. Steele wants to secure a three billion dollar investment tonight. How about you help him out?”
Iris stood still, gave the man a casual glance when he spoke, smiled. and said, “How can I help?”
“You stay with me for a week, I can give Prof. Steele one billion dollars, how about that?” The man’s words were quite blunt.
Speaking, the man’s big hand reached out to Iris’s waist.
“What were you doing?”
Just as the man’s hand touched Iris, it was grabbed by another big hand and pulled away abruptly.

Aedan rushed over, his face icy cold.
The man staggered and stood firm, immediately frowned in pain. trying to pull his hand out, but couldn’t move it at all.
Aedan was really strong, the veins on the back of his hand were all bulging.
“Prof. Steele, don’t get so worked up!”
The man looked at Aedan, with a mocking smile on his face. “Your girlfriend is helping you with the investment.”
He looked at Iris and asked, “Miss, do you think so?”
“No way.” Turns out, Iris plays by her own rules completely
She looked at the man with a hostile expression and said, “You are harassing me, please stay away from me.”
The man’s face froze instantly.
“Apologize to my partner,” Aedan demanded sternly, gripping the man’s arm tightly.
“Apologize?!”
The man chuckled at the words, looked at Iris and Aedan with a contemptuous look, and said, “Who do you think you are, expecting me to apologize to you?”
“Who are you then?” Iris asked, with a mysterious smile on her face.
“Tony Blair,” the man/said his name, looking at Iris as if she were a
