Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 172
Travis thought about what he had done to Irvin.He had claimed Julianne. She was Irvin's precious and beloved stepmother, whom Irvin cherished dearly. Not only that, Travis also planned on having his way with me. Once he had me in his grasp, he was going to enjoy my body to his heart's content.The thought of this intensified the thrill he was feeling. He even felt everything he had done would still be worth it even if it ended in failure.After all, he would have taken down the high and mighty Irvin Sawyer. The same man who used to scold him and call him a fool without reason. Soon, he would sully the people Irvin loved most. That meant Irvin would be miserable for the rest of his life.What more could Travis want?He ended the call and looked at Julianne. She was still lying on the floor, too weak to move.Walking over, he patted her face. "Don't worry. I won't let that bitch Emilia off easy. She's going to have it worse than you!"Travis hated Julianne for ruining his life. T
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 173
I knew it. I knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as Irvin had confidently claimed. Something unexpected was bound to happen.I had told Irvin not to bring Ms. Plume along. I had even told him she had bullied me in the past and that she was close with Travis. I had also pointed out that something was amiss when Travis had singled her out.But Travis had insisted that Ms. Plume accompanied us. And just like how Irvin refused to let me go, he also declined sending Ms. Plume away. Not only that, he had handed me over to her without hesitation. He had allowed her to deliver me to Travis without a second thought.It seemed Irvin just didn't trust me. When it was between me and Julianne, he had implicitly trusted Julianne. And he did the same when it came to Ms. Plume.Ms. Plume was one of his subordinates who obeyed him without question. So, he believed she wouldn't act against him. He also assumed she wouldn't do anything to harm me.No, that wasn't right. It wasn't that he implicitly

Irvin had refused to let me go, no matter how much I begged him. So, before we left, I had requested the drug he had used on me.The drug was colorless and odorless. It had taken effect so fast that I hadn't felt a thing. And before I could react, my whole body had gone limp. I was also unable to speak.It was essentially a perfect sedative to use in an assassination.Irvin denied my request at first. He wanted me to believe in him and have faith that he wouldn't allow anything bad to happen to me. He insisted that I wouldn't need the drug to defend myself.But I didn't trust him. Not even an inch. I refused to believe him regardless of what he claimed.In the end, he conceded and gave me the drug. I didn't know if it was just to put me at ease or if he had other reasons.And sure enough, I was right to distrust him. He deserved every bit of it.I was the only person I could rely on to save me every single time.I felt the knife lower from my throat. That was when I knew the ri

The unexpected sound of Travis' voice startled me. Instinctively, I looked toward its source. That was when I noticed a flashing red dot on the headliner at the very back of the car. Seeing this made me realize that the car had been equipped with a remote monitoring device.Travis had been monitoring the car this whole time. That was how his men had shown up so quickly. They must have rushed over the moment I knocked out Ms. Plume and the other guy.My chances of successfully making it out of this alive were even slimmer now.Still, giving up was the same as dying. And I refused to just roll over and die. Not when I had a chance of surviving if I fought back. So, of course, I took my chances.Closing my eyes, I floored the accelerator. I charged straight into the motorbikes that blocked my way.My actions were reckless. Seeing this, they quickly reacted to save themselves. Those who were fast enough managed to swerve out of the way. And those who weren't abandoned their bikes and

Then, an idea hit me.I pulled out all the cash I had and tossed it everywhere on the ground, scattering bills, coins, and my watch, too. People naturally went for money or valuables. Every second counted, even if it bought me just a few extra seconds.Another second meant another chance to live.The desperate hunger to survive surged through me like never before, giving me strength I didn't even know I had. Despite my body being held together by screws and steel plates, I somehow clawed my way to the top of that damn mountain.But when I finally reached the peak, my heart dropped. It wasn't salvation waiting for me up there—it was a sheer cliff overlooking a lake.This would've been my golden ticket if I were the old me. I'd have jumped without even thinking twice. The lake wasn't frozen, even in winter, and looked deep. The odds of surviving that jump would have been way higher than sticking around and getting caught.But now, I was no longer who I used to be. With all the st

Julianne couldn't let this go on any longer. If she didn't stop this now, she'd have suffered all that pain and humiliation for nothing.She couldn't let that happen. There was no way she'd let him abandon her now—especially not to save me.With that thought in mind, Julianne desperately threw herself at Irvin. But unlike before, when he'd drop everything at the slightest sign of her discomfort, he didn't even flinch now. Instead of catching her in his arms, he simply stepped aside, letting her stumble.Then, he turned sharply and hurried out.From the moment he'd stormed in and found Julianne alone, he knew something was seriously wrong. If nobody else was there, it meant they'd all gone after Emilia. He needed to get to her—fast.As soon as he stepped outside, he immediately demanded answers from the security chief, Brody Silas, who stood beside him. "How's Emilia doing?"When Brody told him Ms. Plume's car had never actually stopped where the GPS tracker indicated—that the p

Julianne loved making Irvin choose between two options. Over the last two years, I'd been forced into that sick game more times than I could count. Each time, I secretly hoped he'd choose me—even when I knew he wouldn't. I couldn't help wishing that, just once, he'd prove me wrong. But every time, I ended up crushed.Now Irvin faced yet another choice. This time, I didn't let myself hope he'd pick me.Instead, I frantically scanned my surroundings, refusing to accept death without a fight. Even though I'd already decided I'd rather die than be captured and tortured, deep down, I wasn't ready to give up. Even as their footsteps drew closer, I desperately searched for a way out.And then, against all odds, I found one.Behind two massive trees, hidden beneath tangled weeds, was a tiny cave. It was barely noticeable—small enough that no one would think to look inside. It was a perfect spot to hide in.With my heart pounding, I quickly stripped off my down jacket, tore it up, and
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 179
A fresh wave of anxiety gripped me.Travis was sharp—smarter than the average man. He wouldn't have made it this far if he weren't. It wouldn't be easy to trick him.Before the thought had even fully formed, I heard Travis bark coldly, "Search every damn inch around here! She didn't jump!"One of his guys asked instinctively, "How do you know she didn't jump?""The last time she jumped off a cliff, she broke every bone in her body and spent three months bedridden," Travis snapped back. "There's no way in hell she'd put herself through that kind of agony again. She'd rather die first!"I froze, stunned. I never expected Travis to actually understand me this well."Look at her footprints—she's hiding somewhere close by. Turn this place inside out!" Travis yelled again.Travis had worked for Irvin long enough to know exactly how ruthless he could be. He knew he was as good as dead if he didn't catch me now.Because I'd had no time, the footprints I'd left were concentrated within

"I agree," Grace said. "Which is why I suspect you hadn't given birth to fraternal twins but rather identical twin boys back then. One of them must have been switched at birth."She knew there needed to be an explanation for why Irvin and Timothy looked so much alike. Thus, she might as well reveal they were identical twins. However, no one aside from the Hardwells could know the truth behind why both boys hadn't grown up together.So, the only other believable story was that one of them had been switched at birth. Most importantly, the twin that died was Irvin, and the remaining one was the Hardwell heir, Timothy.It was true that in this world, two people couldn't look exactly the same unless they were blood relatives. I had mistaken Timothy for Irvin when we first met. That was why I had suspected they were identical twins. I wasn't surprised by what Grace had said. Even so, I felt one of the twins couldn't possibly have been switched at birth.As I said before, Claudeville an

Sure enough, there was a burn scar and a recent bullet-sized scar near his heart.Unexpectedly, I started crying when I saw them. I couldn't control my tears. My emotions hit me so suddenly and intensely that I was overwhelmed and defenseless.Timothy reflexively reached out to wipe away my tears when he saw this.He didn't understand what was happening to him. He obviously had a wife and memories with her, but he couldn't accept her touch. Yet, he had the urge to get closer to me.When I brought up treating his leg, Timothy had instinctively wanted to go with me despite the late hour. Then, when I told him to remove his shirt, he had done so without hesitation. Everything about this was unreasonable, yet he wanted to do everything I asked.He was about to ask me why I was crying when men dressed in black barged into my studio.Once they had taken their places, an imposing-looking lady and Mrs. Hardwell entered. The lady immediately scowled when she saw Timothy shirtless and reac
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 288
Irvin had a burn scar on his back from when he had saved me during the lab fire in our sophomore year. He had gotten it by shielding me from a falling, burning beam. There should also be a bullet scar, from when he had taken a shot for me on the cruise ship.As I recalled those memories and how Irvin had risked his life to save mine, I found it even harder to be distant toward him the way I had been when I had lost my memory.I had given him everything in the past and had treated him better than I treated myself. But back then, he had also reciprocated it. Otherwise, I wouldn't have loved him so strongly.William and Timothy were taken aback by my eagerness.Then, almost in unison, they spoke."Yes.""No!"Timothy had agreed, and William had been against it.I wasn't surprised by Timothy's response. Based on his earlier reaction, I sensed he felt something toward me instinctually despite his amnesia.What caught me off guard was William's objection. While we had known each oth

Willaim and I were stunned, and so was Timothy.Timothy had no idea why he had blurted out those words. They had just slipped out.William cocked an eyebrow at him once he came back to his senses. It was just as he had said—hypnosis was unreliable.Without realizing it, I walked toward Timothy and called out, "Irvin…"Timothy's gaze immediately darkened.I faltered when I met his cold and unfamiliar eyes. My steps instinctively came to a halt.I had been forced to deal with a dire scandal soon after learning Irvin might still be alive. As such, I hadn't had the time to think about anything else. But now, I suddenly saw him again.I felt a sharp pain in my chest when I met his unfamiliar gaze.I didn't know how to describe my feelings in this moment. My emotions were so complicated that I couldn't decipher what I truly wanted.Irvin and I had fallen in love when we were young. We were each other's first love. I had shared the purest and most beautiful moments of my life with hi
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 286
William frowned at Grace's idea. He was intrinsically against doing something like that to me.However, Grace added, "I miscarried because I had saved your life, Mr. Ashford. I had to lie in a hospital bed for more than a month before I was strong enough to move."I'm not asking you to do anything except stay out of it—please don't interfere with my plans to deal with Emilia Quill. Rest assured, I won't harm her."William studied her quietly as he mulled over her words. He had felt conflicted when she brought up her miscarriage.He was still semiconscious when he had been rescued from the sea. Thus, he could feel how much effort it had taken for his rescuer to get him back to shore.William was a ruthless and disloyal person by nature. Despite this, he had been unexpectedly moved by his rescuer's strenuous efforts to save him.This was especially so when she had performed CPR on him, and her warmth and scent had enveloped him. So much so that William had even wanted to pursue her
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 285
Before William could respond, Grace immediately added, "I don't mean to leverage my saving your life against you, but you did say you would grant me one request in return."William fiddled with the lighter in his hand. "Yes, I did say that. But I'm not a man of integrity, so I can always go back on my word."Grace was stumped.She hadn't expected him to say that. How could he make such a promise to her and then void it just like that? Shouldn't his word be binding, given someone of his status? It made her question if there was any point in her efforts to become his savior.Aside from Julianne and I, Grace was also present when I had saved Mr. Ashford on Daiti Island.She had just happened to be vacationing on the island at the time and had witnessed me save William. Then, she had also watched as Julianne emerged and carted him away when I left to get help.Initially, Grace had clicked her tongue upon seeing this and had planned on leaving. However, she changed her mind upon rec

The response from the Hardwells only deepened my suspicions that Timothy was actually Irvin. This only made me even more eager to see him again so I could confirm it for myself.However, I couldn't force a meeting if they didn't allow it. I might be wealthy now, but I was nowhere near comparable to the Hardwell family. For the time being, I could only have someone else look into it.After tending to company matters I had at hand, I put on my coat and headed out to meet a physics professor from Quantov University. It was thanks to him that I was able to invite the science research authority figures to help me clear my name.Just as I was about to enter a private dining room, I spotted a familiar figure. I paused and saw Mr. Ashford being led by the restaurant's manager toward a different private room.I thought of greeting him, but then I recalled how our last meeting had ended somewhat unpleasantly. I was also worried he might ask me to date Noah again, so I decided against it.Be

Timothy quickly pressed his blanket down."I thrash around in my sleep," he said. "You're pregnant—what if I hurt you?"He had gained many memories of Mrs. Hardwell upon regaining consciousness. Despite this, he still felt something was amiss. As such, he didn't want to be too close to her.Plus, his body rejected being physically intimate with her even though she was his wife. For some reason, Timothy's heart told him he shouldn't allow Mrs. Hardwell to touch him—he would be sullied if he did.Still smiling, Mrs. Hardwell replied, "You won't."She was about to pull on the blanket again when Timothy yelled, "Get out!"Tears welled up in her eyes. She had never been treated so coldly before."I just want to take care of you at night, Tim. We're husband and wife, aren't we?"Timothy knew she was right. They were married, so there was no reason they shouldn't sleep in the same bed. That being said, he just couldn't bring himself to accept it."I'm sorry, but I'm not used to shari

With the public eager to know the truth, hundreds of millions of viewers tuned in to the summit's live stream.People believed there were three things in this world that could never be taken away from a person—the food one had ingested, one's hopes and dreams, and lastly, one's mind.The third thing referred to intelligence, knowledge, and the ability to reason and think—which was what my battle plan relied upon.Lyle had all the experiment data. Thus, he could claim he was the reason our research had a breakthrough. However, he didn't know the reasoning and considerations behind the experiment's progression.It was similar to solving a math problem. Those who didn't know how to solve it could copy the answer, but they would never be able to explain the steps involved.Hence, I intended to use this principle to prove I was the one who led the research team while he was just a poser.To do so, I had arranged for Lyle and I to be questioned on our research and experiment.The summ
