Chapter 120

Author: Millie Bridge
Jeremy truly was the one person on this earth who knew me well. His words hit their mark.

Grandma only had three children.

The youngest had passed away before reaching adulthood. This left her with an indelible pain in her heart.

The year I graduated from university, my aunt passed away from an accident. Having lost another child, Grandma almost couldn't handle the grief.

Now, out of her three children, only Dad remained.

Dad may not have been kind to me, but he loved Grandma dearly. He would often check on her and rarely went against her wishes.

And although Grandma was very upset with what Dad had done to me, he was still her only remaining child. Hence, it wasn't possible for her to stop caring about him.

Therefore, she might not be able to bear it If something were to happen to him.

"We're a family, Emi. No matter what happens, we still need to look out for each other. Didn't I do the same for you?" Jeremy patted my head as he spoke.

Mom had no clue what he was referring

    The person I was before would have never had the audacity to behave like this."I had almost died," I stated. "It's no surprise that I would change. Otherwise, I don't think I'll ever have the chance to."I had been severely injured after falling off the cliff. Any person would surely change after such a traumatic event.Jeremy considered my words. It seemed he didn't have anything more to say, so he turned to leave."Thank you," I quickly blurted. My gratitude was sincere.I was thanking him for having a moment of compassion. At the time, I had been on the verge of losing my mind. Hence, I was grateful for the important clue he had given me.Upon hearing this, Jeremy froze. He glanced back at me.

    The childhood sweetheart, who once was treated as the dear younger sister, suddenly became a gold-digging stepmother and a mistress. Then, she went from being a shameless mistress to playing the victim, claiming she wasn't a gold digger but was a victim of sexual assault. And I, who was once the wronged wife, became the perpetrator and was arrested. The media had to keep changing the direction of the narrative. This turned the issue between Irvin, Julianne, and I into a full-blown scandal.Especially the fact that I was arrested.It was safe to say that the entire country knew about it, and everyone was eager to see a wicked woman like me sentenced.After all, I didn't just steal Julianne's childhood sweetheart, but I also drugged her and made her sleep with Irvin's father.

    When the video evidence of me "drugging" Julianne was first released, Irvin publicly confirmed that I had interfered in his relationship with Julianne, which led to her being sexually assaulted by his father. Everyone was aware of this.I didn't need to say anything more.Irvin instantly became the worst scumbag in history. The internet was filled with criticism and people cursing him."His wife was there for him through thick and thin while he was starting his business. Not only did he fail to appreciate her and have an affair with his stepmother, but he also framed her and claimed she intervened in his relationship with his stepmother! He even tried to send his wife to prison!""I've seen plenty of scumbags, but never one as bad as him! He's so disgusting!""The more I think about it, the scarier it gets.

    Since I had something to discuss with Irvin, I let him in. I thought he had come at this time to talk about the company. After all, because of my public response, he had become the most well-known scumbag online, which also affected the company's stock. Many shareholders had already expressed their dissatisfaction.Or maybe he was here to offer his sincerity, still wanting to express his so-called "love" for me. He might say that he knew he was wrong, that he wanted to win me back, and that he wanted to beg me for my forgiveness or something.Or perhaps he was infuriated reading the online comments calling him a scumbag, exposing the fact that he never actually liked me, and now he came to lash out at me.To get back on me.That was what I had expected from him.However, I never would have imagined that he didn't come to stabilize the company's stock, nor did he offer his sincerity or try to clear his name.Instead, he had come for Julianne.He wanted to bail her out today.

    "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

    "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."

    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.

    I was found by an older man who was fishing early in the morning. When he cast his line, the hook accidentally snagged onto me, and no matter how hard he pulled, it wouldn't come loose. He got closer and saw me floating in the water. Terrified, he dropped his fishing rod and ran to call the cops.When the police pulled me out of the water, I was barely breathing. The doctors who treated me didn't think I would survive, and my family didn't even bother signing the consent forms for further treatment. Yet somehow, I clung to life and became a medical miracle.The moment of impact when I fell was excruciating, but waking up afterward was so much worse. The pain was unbearable; it felt like my body was punishing me for surviving. Out of the 206 bones in a human body, I had broken 108, some of them shattered into fragments. Every inch of me hurt, and the torment made me wish I hadn't made it.I couldn't move, nor could I stand anyone touching me. Even when the nurse lightly pressed o

    "You know your father doesn't dare do anything illegal! Also, Lianne definitely didn't frame you. So withdraw the lawsuit right now!" Mom was adamant Dad and Julianne were innocent.I lowered my head upon seeing her conviction.I had no longer expected any maternal love from her. However, that didn't stop me from thinking…She knew I never drugged Julianne. She had also been told that the whole incident had been orchestrated by Dad and Julianne. I thought she would at least feel guilty after knowing the truth. At the very least, she owed me an apology.Yet, just like Irvin, she felt no remorse. They had never once felt they were in the wrong for treating me so unjustly. All they cared about was protecting Julianne.My thoughts wandered back to what she had said earlier—"We're your family. Yet, we don't like you. Even your beloved husband despises you. Can't you reflect on yourself? Stop blaming everyone else!"I couldn't help but wonder if I was truly the problem. Was I not goo
