Chapter 1503 One Big Family


    Although Iris was exasperated at her husband for trying topete with his own sons, she still felt sweet in her heart.


    It was good that the workers were already finishing up the decorations, so there were extra flowers to give away. Before Iris could offer to buy lunch to everyone working hard on preparing for theunch party, Clover had already arranged it.


    Iris gave her an approving smile.


    Clover felt good about receiving the boss'' validation. She worked her a** off to learn apletely differentnguage and train to be an effective COO for Liberté.


    But the most difficult part was living so far away from everyone else. At least, when she lived with her brother and the boss'' family in China, she could always hop on a ne and arrive home in the Philippines in just a few hours.


    Living in France which was on another continent was apletely different matter. Not to mention that she now lived in apletely different time zone from her loved ones. Evenmunicating in real time needed to be scheduled to prevent disturbing each other''s sleep.


    Now that she reached this point, however, Clover felt that all her sacrifices had been all worth it.


    More than feeling happy for her own achievements, she felt happier now that her family was so proud of her.


    Iris and her family along with Clover and their huge security team walked to a nearby restaurant for lunch.


    There were only a few Chinese tourists and overseas residents on the streets who recognized Iris. Some recognized her, some didn''t. And from those who recognized her, not many dared approach her.


    But the real fans were a different matter. They moved to approach, hesitated, moved again to approach, but hesitated yet once again.


    Seeing the numerous bodyguards surrounding her, they felt intimidated. However, Iris weed them. She waved them over and began interacting with her fans on the streets of Paris.


    "Boss Iris, I''m a ck Star. I love your music and I can''t wait for your new album with Enrique!"


    She smiled at the fan while signing an autograph. "Thank you for your support. Want to take a photo?"


    "Yes! Oh my gosh, yes!"


    A bodyguard took several photos of Iris with the fan.


    Then Iris did the same thing to the other fans. One of them nced at the tall, handsome man by the side who had a cold and intimidating aura while carrying two babies in each arm.


    "Uhm, Boss Iris. Are those Little Mochi and Little Matcha?"


    Iris smiled. "Yes, my sons."


    As usual, the babies wore superhero masks while outside. Although they weren''t in their home country, Iris and Jin Liwei didn''t want to risk exposing their children''s appearances to the public eye.


    The fan got excited and looked at the twins longer with sparkling eyes. Fortunately, the fan was a real ck Star. She respected the twins'' privacy and didn''t ask to see what they looked like behind the superhero masks.


    "Clover, do we still have extra invitations?" Iris asked all of a sudden.


    "Yes, I still have some here."


    Clover knew exactly what Iris nned, so she fished out some invitations from her handbag and handed them to the ck Stars.


    Iris felt pleased that Clover understood her intentions just like Dom. This was one of the reasons why she adored and respected the Chua family so much. They always went above and beyond in everything they did from their work to treating their loved ones well.


    "Oh my gosh, is this what I think it is?" a fan asked while looking at the beautifully sealed envelope in amazed disbelief.


    "It''s an invitation for Liberté''sunch party," Iris said. "If you are all avable that day, pleasee and take a look."


    The fans squealed together.


    "Thank you, Boss Iris!"


    "Wow! I didn''t expect that I''d be able toe to the exclusiveunch party. I was going to wait the day after theunch to visit the Liberté store and buy the ''Eve'' perfume in person, but now I can actually attend theunch!"


    "I also want to buy ''Eve'' for myself, then I''m going to give ''Valliance'' and ''Sérénité'' to my parents when I fly home."


    Iris told them, "If youe to theunch party, you''ll receive those perfumes as giveaways." n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    "What?! Really?!"


    "We''re going toe!"


    "Of course, we''reing! Boss Iris, thank you so much! We won''t hold you and your family any longer. Have a happy lunch!"


    The ck Stars waved goodbye to Iris and the others before respectfully leaving.


    Irisughed and waved at them.


    Inside the restaurant, they ate lunch. Their group upied several tables in a more private corner. Although people were curious about their identities, nobody came to bother them.


    Iris noticed something about Clover''s expression.


    "What''s wrong?" she asked.


    Clover sighed. "I''m just thinking…It''s a pity that my parents won''t be able toe here and attend Liberté''sunch party."


    Iris patted her back. "Sorry about that. I think it''s partly my fault that Auntie Reina and Uncle Domingo are unable toe to Paris this time. They''re too busy helping out your sister, Linda, for the uingunch of Orchidia Philippines."


    "Don''t apologize, boss! I just spoke with my familyst night. They''re only too happy to help you out in setting up Orchidia Philippines."


    Iris felt amused. "What ''help me out''? They''re not my employees but my partners instead. Your family owns 60% of Orchidia Philippines. Even without your country''s stringentws on foreign businesses, I''ll still be willing to give that much stake to your family. From Dom, to you, and your entire Chua family—all of you have been so good to me and my family. We''re all one, big family now, right?"


    "Yes, boss!" Clover beamed but her eyes turned moist. "But what our family has achieved today is inrge part because of you and your kindness to us. You allowed my big brother to rmend our entire family to you, and you epted all of us with open arms."
