Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 15
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

My gaze darkened. "Mr. Walker.""Yes, Mrs. Sawyer?"Although his tone was respectful, the contempt in his eyes displeased me."You're fired. I'll have HR arrange compensation for you. Go pack your things and leave."I should feel lucky that even though I had made the mistake of leaving the academic path I loved for Irvin, I hadn't completely lost my mind.After investing everything into Irvin, I didn't walk away empty-handed. When the company became publicly listed, I secured shares second only to Irvin's.As the second-largest shareholder of the company, I had the authority to fire someone.In my journal, I had recorded numerous instances where Mr. Walker had humiliated me, and I was certain that a third of my emotional pain came from him.He was an employee who not only failed to respect the boss but actively belittled and manipulated me. Keeping him around would be absurd.Mr. Walker's eyes widened in shock. "What?""You heard me. You're fired.""Mrs. Sawyer, did you hit

While waiting for the test results, I couldn't help but ask about Mr. Holland. Back when I decided to drop out of school and venture into business, the disappointment in his eyes haunted me to this day, making me too afraid to contact him even after all these years.All I've ever dared to do was send occasional holiday greetings in the group chats we were both in.Mr. Holland had really put all his heart into teaching me back then. He was already established in the industry, so he didn't need to take on graduate students anymore, but he made an exception just for me. He was the second person in the world to treat me well, aside from Grandma.However, I dropped out after being accepted into the graduate program with him as my mentor. The only reason I did that was to take care of Irwin, as he was too busy to do so himself when he first started his company. Back then, he often had stomach issues, so I wanted to be there for him.My memories were coming back to me now. I remembered ho

"Emilia, you bitch, how dare you show your face here!" A woman lunged at me as she screamed.Before I could back away to avoid the woman's attack, Shaun stepped in front of me, taking the brunt of the blow on my behalf.Seeing him frown from the impact, my expression turned cold.The woman, furious at not being able to hit me with her bag, pointed at Shaun and screamed, "Who are you? Why are you shielding this bitch? Are you her lover?"Now I know why you've changed so much, Emilia Quill! You've been fooling around with someone else! I'm going to tell Irvin, so he'll give you nothing in the divorce, you cheating bitch!"Katie's daughter was just as vile and uncultured as herself.I stepped forward and said coldly, "Simone Fisher, between me and Irvin, we both know who was actually unfaithful. You'd better watch your mouth!"Simone had grown up with Irvin and Julianne. She was Julianne's number one bootlicker, so naturally, she didn't like me at all. She was just as bad as her mo

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. When he saw the sincerity in my eyes, he suddenly lost his composure.It was as though he was a dam on the verge of breaking, and my words were the final blow that made it burst."'Thank you'? Why are you thanking me? Have I helped you in any way?" he shouted. "Look at yourself! You'r

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

"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

I hadn't slept much when I was in the detention center. Now that I was back home, I could finally be completely at ease. I was even able to sleep that night without taking any sleeping pills.I wasn't sure how long I had been asleep. Suddenly, I was rudely awakened by the banging on my door. Before I could even open my eyes, I heard Mom's angry voice outside.Given what had happened, it was expected that she would come looking for me. So, it didn't surprise me.I intentionally took my time getting dressed. Mom's temper was starting to flare as she continued banging on the door. She had been doing so for quite some time yet I hadn't answered the door.Just as she was about to bang harder, I finally opened it."Were you dead or something? What took you so long to answer the door? I've been knocking for ages!" she yelled.I glanced coolly at her. "I know you very badly want to see me dead. But too bad, I'm still alive. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to answer the door."Mom was furi

Irvin instinctively smiled when he saw me. Or rather, he tried to. Unfortunately, his facial muscles were stiff from the cold and weren't cooperating.It seemed he wanted me to pity him. It was probably all part of his strategy to win me over.My past self couldn't stand seeing him in any pain. It was agonizing to her if he wasn't even the slightest bit uncomfortable.But now? My current self merely looked at him indifferently. I didn't feel anything for him, not even the least bit of attachment. My heart didn't ache. I didn't feel any love or any hate toward him. There wasn't even anger. There was only detachment.My feeling toward him was colder than the winter frost.He started panicking when he saw this. So much so, that he looked as though he could barely breathe."You must be feeling very disappointed in me. Right, Emi?" he asked.Perhaps he finally had time to reflect after placating Julianne. It seemed he remembered how he had misjudged me over the drugging incident.
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 116
Dad was also adamant that he knew nothing about the drugging incident.He admitted he had brought me to the lounge. He also admitted to drugging me with Abyde. He said he had given me an improved version. Hence, he wanted to see if I could make it home while under its effects.He denied having any knowledge of why I ran into Julianne there, let alone her whole scheme to frame me. He declared that he didn't know anything about what had transpired that day.He also said that Julianne had only shown him the video when she returned two years ago. By then, five years had passed since the incident occurred. That was the reason he hadn't connected the two together.Besides, I had never gotten along with Julianne and couldn't stand to see her doing well. Thus, he professed this was why he had immediately believed I had drugged her. He also claimed he didn't remember that was the day he had fed me with Abyde.To put it simply, Dad was saying he was only guilty of drugging me with Abyde as

"You evil witch! What are you trying to do now!" Mom shouted as she hit me. "Was harming Lianne not enough? Now, you want to harm your father too? He's your birth father! What sin did I commit to end up giving birth to a wretched child like you!"Mark—who had been standing to the side—stepped in front of me to shield me from her.A few officers standing nearby had also rushed over and intervened. One of them gave her a stern warning to refrain from making a scene or assaulting someone at a police station. His name tag read "Gordon".However, Mom didn't seem to care where she was or who she was talking to. Her rage had probably blinded her."What's the issue?" she continued shouting. "Is it against the law for me to discipline my daughter? I gave her life! So what if I hit her a few times?"She thought she had the right to beat me to death since she had given birth to me. She also probably thought no one had the right to criticize her for doing so since she was my mom.I had been

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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 113
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.
