Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 12
With so many people present and the importance of the occasion, being scolded publicly made Mom and Dad's faces darken with embarrassment.Julianne immediately stepped forward and said softly, "Grandma, please don't be upset! You've misunderstood Irvin. He was only helping me because I hurt my leg."Irvin added with a sullen look, "Yes, Grandma. I didn't come here with Lianne. I ran into her at the entrance and saw that she was struggling because of her injured leg, so I helped her in."As for her injury, it happened because she heard that the rosaries from Sacred Church are particularly effective, especially when prayed for on one's birthday. She went to the church to get you a rosary. She climbed the mountain and sincerely prayed for your health and safety."It was an exhausting journey. On her way down, she slipped and fell, hence hurting her leg. But she didn't stop to rest because she wanted to make it to your birthday celebration on time. Grandma, Lianne genuinely loves you.
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 13
I always felt there was something between the two of them, but I loved Irvin too much.I loved him so deeply that even when it hurt, even when I was convinced something was going on, I still chose to believe him when he said there wasn't.I'd try harder to please him, cling to him, and exhaust every means to win his heart back.Whenever anything happened between him and Julianne, I'd become skittish and terrified of losing him for good. And when he came back, I couldn't help but ask him over and over if he truly loved me.Even though I was afraid of pain, I once resorted to self-harm, hoping it would bring him back from Julianne's side.But in Irvin's eyes, my fear and despair were nothing but hysterics.Instead of pity, my actions only made him see me as a troublemaker. Not only did he not return, but his disdain for me grew, and he saw everything I did as just another tantrum.The me in my old journal couldn't figure out why he insisted there was nothing between him and Julian

His words were so serious and convincing that even I almost believed him.He was truly a master of manipulation. It was no wonder the old me could never let him go.But it didn't matter. I was no longer the same person, and he could no longer manipulate me.The room fell silent.The crowd's emotions were complicated. They had thought they were merely aligning with Irvin's intentions by putting me down and holding Julianne in high regard.But now, they found themselves chastised by the very person they sought to please.It was… a lot to process.Julianne's face darkened ominously, so much so that words failed to describe her expression. Yet she gathered herself and smiled warmly at me in the blink of an eye."Millie, do you believe me now? There's nothing between me and Irvin. You just worry too much."Her words painted me as the crazy, paranoid woman again.But I wasn't the same anymore. Her provocation wouldn't rattle me.I replied with a smile, "Oh, don't blame me for worr

Grandma hadn't felt this liberated in years!Dad's face darkened as he scolded, "Mom, how can you say that? Lianne is so devoted to you. She's your granddaughter too!"Grandma scoffed. "I have only one granddaughter, and I love her very much. Unlike you fools, I'm not blind. I love my own flesh and blood, not someone else's child!"For a moment, Mom and Dad's faces turned into a colorful display of emotions.Even though Irvin defended Julianne, the guests no longer saw them the same way. No one dared to voice their thoughts, but in their hearts, they had labeled the pair as a cheating couple.After Grandma announced she would transfer her 20% shares to Jeremy and officially appointed him as the head of Quillcrest Pharmaceuticals, I retreated to a quiet corner for some peace.While I'd finally vented my frustrations and shut down the ridicule, the pitying looks people gave me were equally uncomfortable.I reached for a glass of orange juice and wanted to take a sip when I heard J

But in the end, Irvin's urgency wasn't for me.Without a second thought, he swam straight to Julianne, cradled her, and made his way to the edge. He didn't even glance in my direction. Not once.I couldn't understand it.Why, when I'd already forgotten him and let go of my love, did it still hurt so much?The pond was deep. Jeremy had insisted on it because he loved deep-water swimming.The depth overwhelmed me as I sank lower, struggling to find something to hold on to, but there was nothing. As I drifted deeper, I heard Julianne's voice, soft and frantic."Irvin, save Millie! Hurry!"Then came his cold, detached reply. "Leave her. She can swim. She'll be fine."I was drowning in fear and panic, barely able to breathe. But his words made my mind go blank.Right, I could swim!Back in college, I had even won a national swimming championship. How could I have forgotten? How could I lose all sense of reason and succumb to fear the moment I hit the water?I fought to remember a

Before Irvin could start, I coughed up a few mouthfuls of water and slowly regained consciousness.Seeing me awake, Irvin snapped angrily, "What's wrong with you? Must you throw your life away just to prove a point?"In the past, whenever Irvin berated me like this, I would either yell back even angrier than him or lower my head in fear and admit I was wrong.But this time around, I didn't shout or apologize. I didn't ask him to hold me, either.Instead, I stared at him coldly. The chill made Irvin feel uneasy, even afraid. Instinctively, he wanted to embrace me, but I avoided his touch.I grabbed onto the arm of the man beside him and asked him to take me to the hospital.Irvin froze, stunned. He couldn't believe that the woman who supposedly loved him more than anyone else was choosing to rely on a stranger over him.He wondered what was wrong with me. Why was I acting so incomprehensibly? What had caused me to change so drastically?Irvin took a large step forward, intending

Professor Green was elegant and refined. He smiled politely and replied, "Mr. Sawyer, there's no need to be so courteous. Ms. Quill has already thanked me."Irvin frowned. Men had a keen sensitivity to their territory, and Irvin instinctively disliked Professor Green, even though the latter had just saved me, his wife."If you ever need anything, feel free to come to me. Now, I'll be taking my wife with me," said Irvin while pulling me into an embrace so tight that I couldn't even struggle out of it.Professor Green noticed my discomfort and frowned. "You're making her uncomfortable. She's still very weak."Irvin's grim face darkened further at Professor Green's words. However, he loosened his grip on me slightly and glared at Professor Green without any of his earlier gratitude."Mr. Green, I'm grateful for you saving my wife. Whatever you need, I'll do my best to fulfill it. But you don't have to concern yourself with her anymore."The possessiveness in his voice would've made

I felt repulsed whenever I looked at Irvin and Julianne. I didn't want to disgust myself any further by continuing to think about them.Irvin knew he was wrong for what happened yesterday, so he didn't get as angry this time."Emi, I know what I did yesterday wasn't right, but look, you're fine now. You know Lianne's always been weak. Who knows what could have happened if I'd waited longer to take her to the hospital?"Yesterday, I even publicly swore there's nothing between us, and you'll always be my wife. So, can't you just stop making a scene? Lianne's situation is urgent. Let my assistant take you home."With that, he turned and walked away, not giving me the chance to say anything.Watching him rush off, I frowned in disgust.One second, he was so possessive of me, and the next second, he ran off to take care of his lover. It was ridiculous to think he had claimed nothing was going on between them!I really wanted a peaceful divorce. However, with Irvin's hypocrisy and nau

When Mr. Ashford mentioned Irvin, I couldn't help but think that, if he had still been around, he would be able to save the company.All things aside, Irvin was a talented entrepreneur. He undeniably excelled at managing a business, regardless of how emotionally intelligent or smart he was.If it hadn't been for Julianne or his psychological fears, his talent wouldn't have…An idea unexpectedly popped into my head, and my eyes lit up. It began to look more and more feasible as I mulled it over, so much so that I even felt eager to put it into action."You'll have to excuse me, Mr. Ashford," I said. "I'm afraid I have other business to attend to, so I can't entertain you any longer."With that, I swiftly headed for the door.Mr. Ashford caught me by the arm as I passed him."Are you sure you want to turn down my offer? Don't you want to save your companies?" he asked.Looking him in the eye, I replied, "I've come up with a solution, so I don't need to trouble you, Mr. Ashford."

I was portrayed as being even more terrifying and powerful.Additionally, my parents had also been interviewed by reporters, and what they said only made things worse.Mom and Henry told the reporters I had behaved shadily since I was little. I had always scored highly on my exams despite not studying much.Additionally, I also didn't have many friends as a child and didn't get along well with others. Despite this, I had always had a good relationship with Mr. Holland, who had also adored me from the start.Although my parents didn't explicitly say it, they were clearly implying that my achievements since I was a child resulted from currying favor from Mr. Holland.A reporter had also asked them about my college results. College entrance exams were administered on a national level. Thus, Mr. Holland couldn't have manipulated my results."She probably got lucky and guessed the right answers!" Henry and Mom said with a scoff.After my parents' interview was released, those who had

Lestoria's police soon efficiently uncovered the truth about the drunken, deal-sealing night Gemma had referred to.She claimed Irvin and her had gotten drunk during a meeting with a client. However, I had left her behind and only took Irvin away, which was what led to the client sexually assaulting her.The truth was—Irvin had already fired Gemma before the incident occurred.Since she couldn't interact with Irvin anymore, she had contacted a prior client and used him to set up a meeting with Irvin. She had intended on getting Irvin drunk during dinner and then having her way with him.However, that client also had sinister intentions toward her. He had invited Irvin out accordingly and kept making him down his drink. At the same time, the client also did the same with Gemma.Irvin had thought the client was trying to get Gemma and himself to sleep with each other. Hence, he excused himself to go to the washroom and then slipped away.He was already slumped against the restauran

"Why wouldn't I? I haven't done any of the things you've accused me of. As for you, regardless of what you've suffered in the past, you shouldn't have done what you did. You've caused me a great deal of harm by taking those misleading photos and slandering my name. And in doing so, you've broken the law," I coldly replied.Snapping out of his daze, Shaun begged, "Please don't do this, Emi. Gemma, she—"He had more to say, but I didn't listen. There was no need for me to, so I started to leave.Seeing this, Shaun urgently yelled, "You said I was your savior, Emi! You told me you were grateful to me for saving your life and that you would do whatever I asked of you in the future!"Back then, Shaun had saved me because he genuinely wanted to. And because he also felt guilty for having intentions to harm me, he never expected me to repay him.However, Gemma was being arrested right now. Thus, it was the only thing he could use to try to get me to let his sister go.I glanced back at

"I've liked Irvin since I entered college, and it wasn't easy for me to get close to him. He began valuing me more and more because of my excellent sales skills. And it wasn't long before we would be together forevermore!"But you—" Gemma pointed accusingly at me, then continued, "You damn saboteur, Emilia! You took Irvin away on the night he had gotten drunk and was going to sleep with me! And because you did, I was sexually assaulted by that balding, pot-bellied client!"That man was a sick bastard! He beat me until my leg was broken because I wouldn't stop struggling. Not only that, he also punched my gut until I bled internally. I've become infertile because of what he did! You ruined my life, Emilia! And now, I've finally destroyed you, you bitch!" In an aggrieved tone, she said, "Do you know how miserable I've been all these years? Do you know how much hard work and effort it took to drag you down? You don't deserve to live, you bitch! You should die for what you've done. You

Being abandoned as a child was one thing. But now, he wasn't even allowed to be himself.From now on, he could only live in this world under the identity of Timothy Hardwell.That was really…Margaret couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to let it show and could only leave quickly.…"Emi, I really want to make it up to you and Mr. Holland. The reason I did that was because you hurt us first. I had no choice but to do this so we could be even. Let's go abroad and start anew. We can live just like before, okay?"Shaun genuinely enjoyed spending time with me. We had so many shared topics and similar thoughts.When we were spending time together, he would often forget his original purpose for approaching me.He would instinctively treat me well.When he first heard about my accident, he panicked, forgetting everything else, only wanting to see me as soon as possible and make sure I was alright.When he saw me being wronged, his f

However, Timothy didn't show any reaction on his face. He casually told Madam Hardwell that he had some work to attend to and asked her to leave.Since she was also worried about her daughter-in-law's health, she didn't linger for long.After she left, Timothy instinctively wanted to call Solomon to investigate his suspicions. But just as he was about to make the call, he suddenly realized that, given his current identity, everyone he knew had been introduced to him by the Hardwells.If he asked someone from the Hardwell family to investigate the Hardwells, not only would he find nothing, but he would also expose his doubts, making them wary of him.He stopped himself from making the call.Right now, his only option was to heal his legs as quickly as possible. Once he could move freely, he would have a real chance to uncover the truth.As he thought about this, he suddenly remembered the summit he had been watching earlier.So, he reopened his laptop, intending to learn more abo

I no longer knew what was real and what was fake.I wasn't sure if I just had poor judgment, or if people were just too good at pretending. It felt like I had never truly known Shaun at all. He was nothing like the refined, intelligent, and kind person I had known."Emi, let's go abroad together! Trust me, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you and Mr. Holland."…When Madam Hardwell returned to Hardwell Manor and heard that her daughter-in-law had fainted, her face darkened instantly. She stormed into Timothy's room.Before Timothy could say a word, she snapped at him harshly. "What's wrong with you? Don't you know Grace is pregnant? How could you make her serve you fruits? She was so exhausted that she fainted! If anything happens to her or the baby, can you bear the consequences?"Her harsh accusations made Timothy frown. He thought that something felt off.As far as he knew, his mother had always adored him. As the matriarch of such a prestigious family, she wa

Shaun said, "You don't have any evidence to prove that you led this research. All the research data was shared, so there was never a situation where Lyle was unaware of things. "Even if you find out who was behind it, it won't matter. No one would believe you were slandered. They'll just think you paid someone to take the blame. At this point, no matter what you do, it's useless."Just as Shaun said, things had reached a point where, unless I could present solid evidence proving that I led the successful research, no one would believe me.Shaun knew me well. He knew the conditions of my research and had planned his scheme perfectly."Emi, it's too late. There's nothing you can do to change things now. I know that I've wronged both you and Mr. Holland, but I had no other choice." If he had any other option, he wouldn't have resorted to this.He continued, "I know the current situation has made things very difficult for Mr. Holland and you, but you don't have to worry about your
