I was afraid. I was worried that I really had drugged Julianne and would be found guilty. I was also fearful of disappointing Mr. Holland once again.I was so, so afraid.Mr. Holland seemed to have sensed my fear. He gently patted my shoulder, then said, "Don't be afraid, Emilia. I've called in some favors for you! I won't let you be wrongfully accused. You'll be out of here in no time!"His comforting words merely intensified my fears. "But, Mr. Holland, what if… what if I really did do it?""Impossible!" he instantly replied. "I've never met anyone who was a better person than you! There's no way you could have done it, so don't worry!"A lot of time had passed since I had lost my memory. Even so, I had never once been worried. In fact, I was even glad it had happened as I didn't remember that scumbag, Irvin. Yet now, I was panicking because I was unable to recall anything."But, Mr. Holland, it really was me in the video. And I can't recall what I was doing at the time, no mat

These big shots were professors in the law departments of top universities. It could be said everyone in the current legal field had once been their student. No, it wasn't just the legal field. It was likely they had also taught people in other law-related professions. Some of their former students were probably elites in their field.Hence, it likely wasn't an exaggeration to say there wasn't a case they couldn't solve."That's right. There's nothing to worry about." The last big shot reassured me. His name was Jesse Pearson. "Tell us everything. You can trust us. We believe you're innocent."I lowered my head as my tears flowed uncontrollably. No one had ever had such faith in me.I had always been the target of suspicion ever since Julianne entered my life. It didn't matter what happened between us. No one had ever believed me.My family and my beloved husband all treated me the same way. They never asked me or gave me the chance to explain myself. They just assumed I was gui

"Please, Emi." Irvin pleaded. "You're mentally ill. The reason you're certain you're innocent is because you can't remember doing it…""I am not mentally ill!" I argued back. "Just because there's a medical record with my name on it that says so doesn't mean it's actually true. Take a step back and look closely at the incidents and evidence in the file. Once you do, you'll see that a lot of things don't add up."Irvin had left the medical record behind. After Mr. Holland and the legal big shots had left, I had taken a closer look. I kept going over the unthinkable incidents in the record and every piece of evidence attached.I started to see holes in the information presented after thinking it through. Perhaps it was because I was much more level-headed.Not only had I never drugged Julianne, but I also probably never did anything that was mentioned in the medical record. Similar to Julianne's drugging case, the evidence attached must have been carefully fabricated. That was why I

Irvin's eyes narrowed. "Why is Mr. Walker here with you, Lianne? Are you two close?"Travis broke into a cold sweat at Irvin's questioning. His body began trembling against his will.But Julianne—being who she was—quickly regained her composure."Irvin…" she cried as she rushed toward him.She had called him in this manner numerous times since they were young. Perhaps it was due to recent events, but before the video came to light, it had never bothered him. However, now, it did.Hearing it made him uncomfortable, let alone holding Julianne, who had thrown herself at him. Still, he didn't avoid her completely because he knew how frail she was. Instead, he sidestepped her and gripped her arm.The look in her eyes changed when she saw him avoiding her.Before she could say anything, Irvin asked again, "Why are you here, Mr. Walker? Are you two close?"Julianne and Travis usually didn't act familiar with each other. Yet, he was in her home. She had even lost her composure in front

Irvin understood how Julianne felt. Even so, he couldn't reciprocate her romantic feelings."It doesn't matter how much you hate her, Lianne. You can't do something like this," he scolded her. "You know I've only ever loved you like a sister. It doesn't matter what Emi did. We will never be together regardless. Don't hate her even more over this, okay?"Julianne's birth mother was the Sawyers' housekeeper, Diana Sinclair.After Irvin's mother—Lizzie Windsor—gave birth to him, her body became frail. She had been too weak to raise him. Thus, Diana had practically raised him on her own.Diana had raised both Irvin and Julianne. As such, they had done everything together from a young age. So naturally, they had formed a deep bond.For Irvin, Julianne was like his own younger sister. Hence, he trusted her intrinsically and had always been indulgent toward her. It was to the point where he would always look at things from her perspective. When he found out she was behind Emilia's b

Mr. Holland seemed to read my mind."Put away thoughts about your love life from now on," he said as he gently patted my shoulder. "Focus on your studies and research and become someone useful to society and the nation. That's the best way to repay me."I didn't know what to say. More tears welled up in my eyes."You were feeling hopeless and afraid, weren't you?" Mr. Holland continued. "Although you believed in your innocence, you thought this couldn't possibly be solved so quickly. You were even prepared to spend time in prison. Am I right?"I wasn't sure why he was suddenly asking me all this. But I nodded in agreement and replied, "Yes.""You thought that way because you had given up on yourself to support Irvin. This left you with no support and no connections." He pointed out."If you hadn't given up on your studies back then, you would have become an indispensable person in your field," he said with such conviction. "No one would have been able to bring you down so easily.

Dad did so to stop Mom from confronting me. According to the fake medical record, I would keep forgetting anything that I had done to Julianne. Therefore, when the drugging video was released, she simply believed I had done it.Because of this, her hatred for me grew despite the fact that I was her own flesh and blood.As for Julianne, she had accidentally discovered that Phillip didn't intend for Irvin to inherit the family business. He also wanted to disown Irvin. Coincidentally, Irvin just happened to be pursuing the person she despised most—me.Because of this, she decided to become the new Mrs. Sawyer. She intended to give birth to a new heir so that she could take over the Sawyer family. She would also make Irvin regret his choice in the process.Thus, she slept with Phillip. She thought he had lusted after her for a long time. Plus, she was also much younger than him. Hence, she was sure he would be in the palm of her hand.However, things went against her expectations.

Irvin's gaze met mine. He looked as though he was in emotional turmoil. It was possible that even he didn't know how to describe what he was feeling at that moment.After all, he had always resolutely believed I had harmed Julianne out of sheer maliciousness. And now, he was experiencing a rude awakening.He also looked like he hadn't rested much these past few days. His eyes were dull and bloodshot. He also didn't look as dashing or energetic as he usually was.The old me would probably be heartbroken at this sight. Unfortunately, I was no longer that person. I didn't feel anything for him. In fact, I thought Irvin owed me an apology.He had marched up to me as this thought came to mind.Gripping my arm, he asked, "There has to be some sort of misunderstanding. Right, Emi?"I couldn't help laughing when I heard his question. I pitied my former self.When Julianne accused me of drugging her, he immediately believed her. When she said I was the reason Phillip had assaulted her, I

I was feeling extremely frustrated by the whole situation.And somehow, Irvin chose this exact momIn her eyes, Emilia wanting the divorce was perfect.ent to bother me at my home.With Julianne acquitted, I no longer had any bargaining leverage over him. Everything we had discussed was now moot.Unless it was about collecting our divorce certificate, I didn't want to say another word to him.Oblivious to my frustration, he said, "I told you Lianne wouldn't intentionally hurt you! But you refused to believe me!"It was obvious Irvin was especially relieved by the outcome of the investigation. He was glad Julianne hadn't hurt me on purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face me.I looked at him in exasperation.Just as I was about to ask him to get lost, he spoke again. "I've calculated all the assets under my name, babe. Here's the voluntary asset transfer memorandum. And this is the newly drafted divorce agreement per your request. "I've already signed it, so only your s

Upon seeing the look in Julianne's eyes, I was sure of my suspicions.She definitely did try to set me up all those years ago. She just hadn't anticipated that I would suddenly regain awareness and leave the hotel.Julianne had always been meticulous. As such, the depths of her mind were unfathomable.Right now, she had failed to harm me and ended up harming herself instead. Still, it was possible she had anticipated this current outcome when she schemed to gain control over Phillip.Her goal had been to climb into his bed, and she needed to figure out a way to do so. In the end, Phillip had unknowingly helped her by drugging and seducing her.Regardless of how she achieved her goal, she was going to make herself out to be the victim.And given this, she probably figured she would harm me in the process if she could. Even if she couldn't, she would still walk away from this situation unscathed.I had to admit, Julianne really had thought everything out thoroughly. Every step was

I was deep in thought after learning all this new information. "Who sent the video to Julianne?" I asked. "What was their purpose?"I refused to believe Julianne wasn't the one behind it. "The man who sent the video died in a car accident last year," Mark replied. "Because of that, we have no way to verify if he had edited the surveillance video himself. We also can't determine his purpose behind sending the video to her." This lead turned out to be a dead end.I fell silent again.A short while later, I asked, "What about the other evidence? Like the one where Mr. Sawyer had drugged Julianne? Is it authentic?""It is. We've verified its authenticity," Mark responded.I didn't know what to say.Mark was the best lawyer around—sharp and meticulous. If he had verified the evidence, there was no doubting its legitimacy. Had I really misunderstood Julianne? Was she truly not the culprit?All this time, I thought that she had intentionally conspired with Dad to have me appear
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 130
Although I believed that Irvin had an ulterior motive when he said he would transfer all his assets to me, he most likely thought that I was still the same as before and couldn't bear to see him being treated unfairly. He might have thought that as long as he showed me enough love, I would give in and listen to him without needing him to actually do anything. That I would do whatever he asked me to do.In the end, he wouldn't have to pay any price to have me withdraw the lawsuit and publicly declare that Julianne was innocent.He never truly intended to give me all his assets.However, this wouldn't stop me from my sweet goal of making sure he would leave our marriage with nothing to his name. Both he and Julianne would suffer in misery. As I listened to music, I drifted to sleep in a great mood.I felt that no matter what Irvin was plotting, I wouldn't be losing out on this. However, I forgot that whenever Irvin told me to wait, it had never led to something good.Just like

"Why did I give birth to someone like you!"Just as Mom was about to grab me, Shaun stepped forward, placing himself in between us. As he stood in front of Mom with his tall frame, she felt intimidated and didn't dare to move."Mrs. Quill, Emi and I are just classmates. Please don't insult your own daughter like this! If she's a shameless cheater, what does that make you?" He added, "And did she say something wrong online? Aren't you just like that? To be honest, I'm curious like everyone else. Why would you help an adopted daughter and harm your very own?"Shaun really was curious like the other netizens, wanting to know Mom's reasoning. He couldn't understand how she could treat the daughter she carried in her womb for ten months this way.Mom instinctively snapped back, "I never helped Lianne harm her! She's the one who's so wicked and…"As she spoke, her voice gradually softened. It was as if she suddenly realized I had never actually done any of the horrible things she said
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 128
After eating a mouthful of stew, I got up to open the door. Given how urgently this person was knocking, I thought it was my mom who had come to confront me.After all, many people had been cursing her out for helping her adopted daughter frame her own child after my public statement.Mom cared a lot about her reputation. I think she must be on the verge of losing it now, with the whole internet firing away at her. Afraid that she would hit me the moment she saw me, I didn't open the door fully and just left a small crack open.After Irvin had yanked off the chain lock on my door last time, I immediately had the sturdiest and most expensive one installed. The locksmith told me that no one would be able to break this lock.I prepared for the worst and finally opened the door.To my surprise, it wasn't Mom. It was Shaun.I was stunned for a moment.Outside the door, Shaun also froze at the sight of the chain lock in my house.After snapping out of it, I smiled awkwardly and f

It didn't matter whether he truly wanted to make amends or had other intentions. There was no harm in giving him a "chance" as long as he transferred his assets to me.Hearing this, Irvin's eyes lit up instantly, even brighter than before. He must have thought that, just like before, I would forget everything and fall in love blindly with him again after his gentle comfort.He was so excited that he wanted to hug me.I lowered my gaze to hide the disgust in my eyes and stepped back. "There's no need to rush. Let's handle the important matters first."Go have your assets evaluated with a lawyer. Once you've transferred them to me and signed a new divorce agreement stating that you'll voluntarily leave the marriage with nothing, I'll immediately withdraw the charges."Of course, right after that, I would charge Julianne with attempted murder for hiring a crime organization. She wouldn't even have the chance to leave the detention center!And if he chose to save Julianne, it would b

"What condition?" Irvin instinctively asked."We get a divorce, and you leave with nothing," I answered. "As soon as we get the divorce certificate, I'll drop the charges." Didn't he love her so much that he was willing to do anything for her?So be it! Let me see if you're willing to give everything up for your true love.He expected me to drop the charges and feel bad for his mistress just by listening to his words? He must be delusional!Julianne had never worked in years, yet she had the money to hire a crime organization to kill me. Whose money did she use? It was so obvious that there was no need to guess.Even though Irvin and I had a frosty relationship, his money was still our shared possession. Julianne had actually used my money to kill me. How pathetic must I have been?And now, he had the audacity to ask me to drop the charges. Not only did he expect me to let her off the hook, but he also wanted me to make an announcement online that everything had been a misund

"Trust me, there's no way Lianne has set you up like that to do you harm," Irvin said. "I know she doesn't like seeing you do well, and she's not exactly a great person. But the reason her mind is so twisted is because she misunderstood you."He added, "Even if we assume the worst, maybe she isn't like this because of the misunderstanding but because she's truly a bad person, no matter how bad she is, she wouldn't ruin her own chastity and her life just to hurt you!"Julianne's long-standing feelings for Irvin made him believe that no matter how terrible she was or how much she wished me harm, she wouldn't sacrifice her chastity to harm me.After all, he deeply believed that Julianne wasn't such a terrible person."Emi, I misunderstood you before and hurt you. You know how painful it is to be misunderstood. Please don't inflict the same pain on someone else, okay?" he pleaded.Irvin wanted me to remember how painful it felt when I was misunderstood and detained so that I could fee
