After Losing My Memory, I Divorced the Regretful CEO Chapter 85
I lowered my head, absentmindedly picking at my nails.Seeing my dejected look, Dolly grew anxious. "Hey, don’t be like this! You didn’t see how crazy your brother went when he found out Julian took you. “If you’d handed him a knife, he wouldn’t have hesitated to chop that scumbag into mincemeat."That thought lifted my spirits a little.Dolly then asked, "So, what’s your next move?"I lifted my head, my voice firm. "Recover, get a lawyer, and file for divorce!"...Recovering wasn’t difficult since most of my injuries were superficial. But because I had hit the back of my head when I fell from the second floor, Joseph wasn’t willing to discharge me so easily.I had to stay in the hospital for monitoring, a full-body check-up, and further observation.When Joseph saw me wrapped up like a mummy, he let out a deep sigh.I forced a smile. "Dr. Watson, sorry to trouble you again."He adjusted his gloves and replied flatly, "It’s no trouble."His indifferent tone made me uneasy.I had cau

His gaze was sincere. "Personally, I believe this is the best punishment for an abuser." The female lawyer immediately agreed. "Yes! Evelyn, we will do everything in our power to help you." I slowly nodded, a newfound determination lighting up my eyes. "Alright!" …Julian walked out of the police station, his face still bearing the marks of his injuries. The moment Chloe saw him, she rushed over. Tears filled her eyes as she threw her arms around him. "Julian, you suffered so much in there." She immediately began complaining, rambling about how heartless the police were, how they wouldn’t budge no matter what connections she tried to pull. She said apologetically, "Julian, I tried everything, but they said... they said you were suspected of unlawful imprisonment and attempted sexual assault, so they had to investigate thoroughly." As soon as she finished speaking, she realized Julian hadn’t responded. He simply got into the car without a word. Sitting in the backseat

After the check-up, my forehead had healed, leaving only a faint scar. I stood in front of the mirror, staring at the worn-out woman reflected back at me. The bright, youthful face I once had at eighteen was nothing more than a fading memory. I had come to accept the woman I was now. But the ache in my chest remained. Seven years of my youth, seven years of love and devotion, and this was what I got in return. I wiped away the condensation on the mirror with force, then picked up my makeup brush and carefully began applying it. I refused to be a laughingstock. No one—absolutely no one—was going to look down on me, Evelyn White. So, when I appeared before my lawyer, James Howe, I was refreshed, composed, and radiant. My bangs covered the scar on my forehead, and for the first time in a long while, I felt a spark of life return to me. Dolly’s eyes lit up the moment she saw me. "Eve!" I gave a wry smile. "Do I look alright?" Dolly’s face was full of awe. "Alright?

A milk carton was suddenly handed to me from behind. I shook my head. "I don’t want it. I feel awful."A moment later, a warm towel was placed in front of me.With no choice, I took it and absentmindedly draped it over my forehead.The soothing warmth eased my tense nerves, and I finally let out a long sigh."Dolly, thank you," I murmured. "If you weren’t here with me, I would’ve broken down by now. I swear, from now on, you’re my closest family. How was I ever so blind to fall for him?"I scoffed, my voice dropping. "Do you think even the heavens couldn’t stand it anymore and gave me amnesia on purpose?""Maybe this is the heavens giving you a chance to start over," a cool voice replied from behind me.I stiffened in shock, and as I instinctively turned my head.Crack!A sharp pain shot through my neck.I winced, trembling slightly as I peeled the towel off my face and turned toward Miles, my expression both pained and embarrassed."You… How long have you been standing there?"Miles

Miles didn’t say anything and continued massaging my neck. I had to admit that his technique was really good. With just a few presses, the tightness in my muscles eased considerably. Lowering my voice, I murmured, "You don’t have to keep going. It’s fine now." But I had spoken too softly, and he didn’t hear me. He kept pressing, slow and focused, as if making sure every knot was worked out. I found myself staring at our shadows on the wall. His side profile was stunning. The sunlight cast a glow on his features, outlining his silhouette like a perfect sketch against the wall. Even the strands of hair that fell over his forehead had a graceful arc to them. I tilted my head slightly, and in the shadow, my forehead aligned right beneath his chin. It looked… strangely beautiful. A warmth spread through my chest, a sweetness that made me feel like I was eighteen again—young, carefree, untouched by heartbreak. For a fleeting moment, I thought that if only Miles had bee

He asked, "What did you say?" Clearing my throat, my face burning, I mumbled, "I mean… it’s not exactly… forbidden… Can we… hold hands?" Miles visibly froze for a moment before a slow smile spread across his lips. I stole a glance at him and muttered, "We… we already kissed just now…" This time, he heard me loud and clear. After a brief pause, he said slowly, "That’s true. We’ve already kissed… Acting reserved now would be a bit hypocritical, wouldn’t it?" My face turned even redder. "That’s not what I meant—" Before I could finish, he suddenly pulled me in and kissed me again. This time, my mind wasn’t as much of a blur. I began to respond slowly and clumsily. Something about that must have ignited something in Miles, because I could feel the heat radiating from him, his body pressing closer, his embrace tightening. Sensing danger, I quickly gathered the last bit of my rationality and pushed him away. We separated, catching our breaths, both trying to calm down.

Dolly chirped excitedly beside me."I knew Miles liked you! Eve, be honest, compared to that classless scumbag Julian, Miles is practically royalty."Character, family background, power—which one of these doesn’t put him leagues ahead?"Eve, don’t overthink it. You and Julian have been a mess for a long time now. This isn’t anything new—it’s just things finally falling into place."…In the end, I chose an elegant ivory midi dress, embroidered with delicate floral patterns. I had never worn it before and had no recollection of why I even bought it. But judging by the craftsmanship, it was likely custom-made.Holding it against myself, I smiled in satisfaction.Seeing how quiet I was, Dolly immediately started picking out accessories for me.After some deliberation, we settled on a set of pearl jewelry, and I swept my hair into a full, elegant bun.With an exaggerated flourish, Dolly spun me toward the mirror. "Ta-da!"She beamed with pride. "See? Didn’t I tell you? You’re stunning,
After Losing My Memory, I Divorced the Regretful CEO Chapter 92
Inside a spacious and elegantly decorated private dining room, I immediately recognized a few familiar faces. I had seen these people on TV before! My mind short-circuited again, struggling to process the moment. Fortunately, I still remembered Miles’ instructions. Forcing an awkward smile, I clung tightly to his arm. The people at the table turned toward us, all smiling with interest. Someone teased, "Well, well, this is the first time I’ve ever seen young Miles bring a date. Come here, let me take a look at you properly." The man speaking, Edmund Stanton, was dressed in a sharp, well-tailored three-piece suit, clearly custom-made. Miles led me forward with effortless composure and greeted him respectfully. "Good evening, Mr. Stanton. This is my girlfriend, Evelyn White." For a moment, the entire room fell into complete silence. Even the server pouring tea paused, glancing over in shock. As for me, I had gone completely stiff, unsure of where to put my hands or fee

But what did she say?Julian’s grip tightened around the charm, his fingers curling into it as pain filled his eyes...."Julian, I know there’s nothing I can do for you… Just keep this charm. They say the priest there is the real deal. You’re not supposed to throw it away once it’s been blessed.""Julian, I don’t care if you ever become rich or powerful. I just want you to be safe."That foolish woman had clutched the charm in her hands, smiling at him with such innocence and blind faith....The knot dug into his palm, sharp enough to hurt. Julian opened his hand, then closed it tightly around it again.Chloe, who had been rambling on, finally noticed something was off.She caught sight of the charm in his hand and scoffed. "What is that? It looks so tacky."She reached over, trying to take a closer look.Julian quickly slipped it into the inside pocket of his suit jacket.Chloe’s eyes narrowed. "Did she give you that?"He started the car, his voice flat. "No. I got it myself. Some p

Julian looked at me, confused.I took a deep breath. "Julian, stop. I know why you're apologizing. You're doing this for Chloe’s child, right? You just don’t want things to get ugly."He lowered his head, then gave a small nod. "Yes, that’s part of it... but I really…"I cut him off quickly. "Don’t. Goodbye, Mr. Moore."Without looking back, I turned and got into the car.Miles noticed something was off the moment he saw my face. "What did he say?"I steadied myself. "He wants to settle everything privately. He doesn’t want it to go to court."Miles glanced toward Julian’s lonely figure in the distance, his eyes flickering."You okay?" he asked.I shook my head. "I’m fine."He paused, then handed me a tissue. "If it hurts, just cry."I looked at him, my eyes dry. "I can’t cry. But why do I still feel so awful?"His gaze softened. "Julian's pulling all this to protect his pride because of Chloe’s child, isn’t he?"I drew in a shaky breath. "Yeah. He apologized, but in the end, it’s still

Julian's expression darkened as he stared at me. "Evelyn, I thought you said you loved me? And yet here you are with Miles already—what, were you two sneaking around while we were together?"Without thinking, I slapped him.He grabbed my wrist, sneering coldly. "Did I strike a nerve?"I laughed in anger. "I shouldn’t have let Miles in the car earlier. If I hadn’t, the one slapping you right now would’ve been him."Julian let go of my hand and said coolly, "Enough nonsense. Evelyn, dragging this to court would just be a spectacle. After five years of marriage, I don’t want things to end like this."Was he trying to reconcile?I forced down my fury and asked, "What do you have in mind?"Julian hesitated, his gaze complicated. "I’ll return everything that belongs to you... just give me some time."I was stunned.I hadn’t expected Julian, who always seemed so tough, to willingly give up fighting and hand over what I deserved.I went quiet. "Alright. How much time do you need?"Julian tugged

Julian blurted out, “What?!”Then, snapping out of his shock, his face twisted with fury. “Miles Wynn, what the hell do you mean by that?!”Miles smiled, calm and unbothered. “Nothing more than the truth.”Julian’s voice rose, livid. “Truth? This is nothing but one of your dirty tricks!”Miles raised a brow, pretending to be confused. “Dirty? Hmm. I’d actually call it a fresh idea.”Julian’s already dark expression grew stormier.Chloe stood beside him, jaw clenched, eyes locked on us with thinly veiled rage. Suddenly, she cut in sharply, “But wasn’t it Miss White who transferred the 1.2 million to Elmwood?”Dolly stepped forward without missing a beat. “That money was loaned to Eve by me. Got a problem with that?”That shut them both up.I felt a wave of satisfaction rise in my chest. But I also knew Julian wasn’t going to let this slide so easily.Sure enough, he turned to me, eyes cold. “Eve, this is going to court anyway. You can spin the story however you want. We’ll see what the

The moment I saw that elegant, refined face, so striking it felt almost divine, every bit of the frustration I’d buried surged to the surface.Without a second thought, I rushed into his arms. “Miles!”Warmth enveloped me, and the familiar clean scent of pine wrapped around my senses. My eyes stung instantly.Miles lowered his head, chuckling softly. “What’s wrong? You look like a little bunny with those red eyes.”Feeling embarrassed, I gave his chest a light smack. “Why are you here?”He studied my face carefully, then gently brushed his fingers across my cheek. “I heard someone was picking on my darling, so I came running.”That warmth spread through my chest, overflowing, making it hard to hold back tears.He leaned down, his voice low in my ear. “Don’t cry, silly girl.”Then he straightened and looked around the room.His gaze passed over Sarah and Dolly, finally landing on Julian.Julian instinctively straightened his back.He stepped forward, voice laced with sarcasm. “What brin

I turned to Sarah with an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, Miss Care. It seems I’m not in a position to work with your company until I sort out my personal matters.”Sarah shook her head regretfully. “Please don’t apologize. Our company is moving forward with expansion this year. We’ve already allocated the available investment slots. If you decide not to invest… we’ll have to open the opportunity to others.”She gave me a sympathetic look. “I’m sorry, Miss White. But once this window closes, there will be no further opportunity.”I offered a bitter smile and nodded. “I understand.”Dolly was so angry, she could barely hold back a choked sob. “That shameless bastard… absolutely shameless!”I squeezed her hand, silently telling her it was time to go.Julian stepped in front of us, blocking the way. His expression was conflicted, and when he spoke, his voice was softer than I’d ever heard it.“Eve, maybe we can talk this through.”“Julian, you… you’re still not done?” Chloe’s voice r

The moment I heard those words, a rush of blood surged to my head.My ears rang, and that all-too-familiar wave of dizziness came crashing back.I barely registered Dolly's voice rising in fury. “Julian Moore, do you have no shame? You really dare say that was marital property?! Eve paid for it herself! You… you're absolutely disgusting!”I could barely stay on my feet, the world tilting around me.“Dolly… I…” I whispered weakly.She quickly caught me and helped me sit down.I took a few deep breaths to steady myself, then looked up at Julian. And for a split second, though maybe it was the dizziness playing tricks on me, I thought I saw a flicker of concern flash through his eyes.Sarah noticed something was off and immediately stepped in. “Miss White, don’t worry. We can take this slowly.”I fought to calm my pounding heart and spoke, voice steady but cold. “What exactly is it that you want, Mr. Moore?”Julian hesitated for a moment, but soon the polished businessman returned to his

She was the one with the real foresight, not me. But now, just to help me leave a good impression on Sarah, she gave me all the credit.Sarah looked at me and smiled thoughtfully. “Turns out people really can change. To be honest, three years ago, I didn’t have the best impression of you, Miss White.”I felt a twinge of guilt. “Was I arrogant back then? I’m sorry…”She shook her head. “No, it wasn’t arrogance. It was… well, your reputation at the time. Let’s just say it wasn’t great. “Within our team, your sponsorship actually stirred up a lot of debate. Some people felt it wasn’t a good look to accept money from someone with such a controversial name.”I cringed. “Ah... I see.”She went on. “But others argued that if someone had the money and was willing to help us through a rough patch, we’d be fools not to take it.”The discomfort on my face deepened.So even a struggling little startup like Elmwood had once hesitated to take my money. My reputation back then must’ve really been

The moment Julian spoke, Chloe broke into even louder sobs, tears streaming down her cheeks like a porcelain doll cracked beyond repair.Dolly gave a cold laugh, then tugged my arm. “Come on. This place is suffocating.”We turned to leave.“Wait!” Julian called out.I stopped and glanced back, frowning.He looked like he wanted to warn me and say something sharp but seemed to realize this wasn’t the time or place.In the end, all he could manage was, “Eve, don’t take it out on Chloe. Think about the baby.”I gave a short, cold laugh. “The baby? Whose baby?”His face flushed, then paled. “Eve, don’t be so... unreasonable…”The last word came out weak and guilty.I smiled. If Julian had changed at all since I lost my memory, this was it—he’d gone from brazenly cheating and blaming me to fumbling through half-hearted defenses, too ashamed to even meet my eyes.I didn’t bother wasting another second on him. “Mr. Moore, instead of lecturing me, maybe ask your precious Chloe why she came al
