"Do you really think you have the right to sit here and apologize to me?" I shot back.Irvin's face turned pale at my words. It was almost unbearable to look at him.His mouth fell open as though he wanted to say something. However, his lips merely trembled for a long time—he couldn't form any words.Sure, he might never have intended to harm me. Yet, time and time again, I had nearly died because of him.Irvin let out a self-deprecating laugh. His eyes looked crazed. Never before had he felt more deserving of death than in this moment.Regardless of how helpless he had felt then, he should have never put me in such danger. He truly didn't deserve to live.He was so overcome with pain and guilt that he looked utterly shattered and broken.If this was the old me, I would have been so heartbroken that I wouldn't be able to resist forgiving him. However, the current me merely sneered at the state he was in.Irvin's remorse had come too late, so it was worthless. It was like crying

One of Irvin's secretaries had called Julianne and told her he was about to transfer all his shares to me. Thus, she frantically rushed over to Mark's firm.She genuinely liked Irvin and wanted to be with him. That was why she had returned to Claudeville. That being said, her desire for money was far greater. She couldn't allow him to be penniless.Given everything she had done, she knew she had no chance of being Irvin. So, she couldn't lose both him and his wealth.Before Irvin could say anything, Julianne rushed forward and clung to his arm.I braced myself for the nonsense she was about to spout."Irvin, the mastermind behind my kidnapping not long ago… is Millie! She had teamed up with Travis Walker and orchestrated the whole thing! Her main goal was to harm me. "Also, she's aware of how much you care for me. So, she knew you would follow the kidnappers' demands and exchange her for me."That way, she could create a fake scenario where she would almost die. She knew you wo

Irvin met my gaze upon hearing what Julianne said. When he saw that she was speaking the truth, his grip on the pen tightened.Julianne had always been good at noticing Irvin's subtle reactions. She felt a glimmer of hope when she saw the way he was acting. She thought Irvin had believed her again this time.Noticing the subtle movement too, I sneered and was about to say something.However, Irvin extracted his arm from Julianne's hold and stared at her. Then, he huffed and sardonically said, "Do you think I'm an idiot just because I treat you like a sister, Lianne?"Julianne froze. I, too, was shocked. Neither of us had expected Irvin to say that.Her eyes quickly filled with tears once she realized what was happening."How could you say that about me, Irvin? I'm only doing this for your own good!" she cried as her tears fell.Despite saying this, she couldn't resist cursing him inwardly. It wasn't that she thought he was an idiot—he actually was one!Other people fought vicio

"Irvin, I wasn't trying to accuse Millie," Julianne began. "I just… I just guessed that it was her from the signs…"Before she could finish her sentence, Irvin snapped angrily, "Enough, Julianne! I trust you like family, not for you to treat me as a fool!"They had grown up together, raised by the same mother. He had truly seen her as his sister. Yet she…"Irvin, I really…" Julianne tried to explain.But Irvin didn't want to hear another word from her. He had someone drag her out.I had clearly told him that I was innocent, the sufferings I had endured, and how many times Julianne had deceived him over the years.I also let him know that the reason Julianne had slandered me and manipulated our relationship wasn't solely because she misunderstood and thought I had drugged her.I had never wished her harm. It was she who couldn't stand seeing me happy.Even so, despite knowing everything, Irvin still didn't doubt what had happened back then because they had grown up together. He

Irvin had to let go before he could have another chance. If he didn't make me lower my guard, there would never be any progress between us again. So, he said the same thing I did, "No, I won't reconsider. Thank you."But no matter what, he couldn't say it with a smile like I did. Seeing how determined we were, the staff could only sigh and proceed with the divorce paperwork.Our divorce had been incredibly difficult, dragging on for so long. But now, it was completed in just a matter of minutes.And just like that, Irvin and I were no longer husband and wife.Staring at the divorce certificate in my hand, I was momentarily dazed.Irvin's eyes, however, were red with unshed tears. Even though he never truly wanted to give up on our marriage, he was just letting go temporarily in hopes of a better future.Even so, when we got married, he had never once thought about divorce. He always believed we would grow old together.Who would have thought that in just four years, we had e

Irvin stood there, watching me turn and leave without hesitation. He watched me get into the car and drive away until I was completely out of sight. His heart suddenly felt like it had a hole in it, allowing the wind and snow to rush in. He staggered, almost unable to stand properly.Although he would never allow what he feared to happen, my determination terrified him. He was afraid that after this separation, there would be no more chances between us.He was truly scared of that happening.Snowflakes landed softly on his face.Looking at the snow, he suddenly recalled the Christmas Eve before Julianne returned from abroad. That night, the snowfall was just as heavy as it was now. Since I had always loved the snow, a white Christmas was absolutely perfect. It was so romantic.I insisted on walking to the restaurant to enjoy the scenery along the way. As always, he listened to me and happily held my hand as we walked to the restaurant. The snow was falling heavily. Soon, our

However, Julianne needed money right now.Previously, I had demanded that she return everything Irvin had given her. Irvin had promised that once she returned those things, he would give her something else, something even more than what she had given back.But up until now, he still hadn't given her anything.How was she supposed to survive without money? How?Julianne had always been used to a luxurious life, so even a single day without money felt unbearable to her. She explained, "Irvin, I really wasn't trying to slander Millie. I'm just worried about you two. I know you gave her everything because you feel guilty. But… have you ever thought about how dangerous it is for a woman to have such a huge sum of money? "It's like a kid walking on the street holding gold. It'll only attract trouble for her."Irvin couldn't help but laugh at the absurdity of her words. She really just claimed to be worried about me?"Lianne, do you really take me for a fool?" he asked.Did she rea
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 216
Irvin had always firmly believed that I was faking my injuries and making a scene. Aside from Travis and my parents telling him I was fine, the main reason was that he thought I had made up the entire kidnapping case just to compete with Julianne for his attention. So, when the kidnappers forced him to choose between us, he picked Julianne without hesitation. After I fell off the cliff, he assumed it was all part of my plan and didn't worry about me at all.Even when he went to the hospital to make me apologize to Julianne and saw how badly I was hurt, he still thought I was faking it. And even if I really was injured, he believed I had brought it upon myself.After all, in his mind, I was the one who had planned it.After realizing that I had truly been seriously injured, he finally understood that the kidnapping wasn't something I had planned.He regretted it so much that the thought overwhelmed him, making it unbearable. Still, he never once suspected that Julianne was the

I glanced at Irvin.I couldn't help feeling the corpse before us wasn't Julianne's. I believed she had faked her death and that Irvin had helped her do so.Hence, when I saw how red and swollen his eyes were, I sneered. He was putting up such a good act.Irvin seemed to know the reason behind my sneer. However, he wasn't comfortable speaking while the police were still present. Thus, he didn't say anything to me and instead turned to my parents."Henry, Catherine, please don't be like this. It's not Emi's fault. It was just an accident…" Irvin teared up when he mentioned the last part."Accident? Impossible!" Mom exclaimed. "This wasn't an accident! It's that bitch's fault that Lianne is dead. It was Emilia—" An idea seemed to come to her mind as she spoke because in the next second, she grabbed onto one of the officers and pointed at me."That's right—It was her. She did it! Getting Lianne imprisoned wasn't enough for her—she wanted her dead too! So when she heard Lianne was r

I continued ignoring Henry and Mom. I acted as though I didn't hear a thing no matter how they cussed at me.After the trial was adjourned, Mark and I immediately busied ourselves with finding a breakthrough in this case.We needed to convince our key witness to stick to our original agreement. In addition to re-identifying Julianne as the mastermind, we also wanted him to testify that Irvin had interfered with the judicial process.As we were in the midst of figuring out how to do this, we suddenly received news from the detention center—Julianne was dead!She had always had a sickly body. Additionally, she had lived a pampered lifestyle. Thus, she couldn't bear the conditions in the detention center.On the third day after Julianne had been detained, she started to feel unwell. Then, she fell seriously ill by the fifth day. She had also been sick yesterday. As the doctors at the detention center weren't equipped to treat her, she had been sent to the nearest hospital to receive

I felt the heat from a malicious glare the moment I entered the courtroom.Upon meeting Julianne's hateful gaze, I could tell she wished I was dead. Smiling arrogantly, I challengingly cocked an eyebrow at her.The look on my face seemed to say, "Oh? You want me dead? I'm not the one who's finished right now—you are!"Julianne's hatred instantly intensified at my cocky provocation. She had never wanted me dead as much as she did in this moment. However, her fervent wishes were all in vain. She knew she was no longer a match for me now. I was no longer the dirty doormat beneath her shoe.Julianne knew she would be lucky if she could walk away from this criminal trial unscathed. She also knew she couldn't make any mistakes during the trial session. Thus, she didn't glance my way again. Even so, she couldn't stop her hatred for me from brewing. She absolutely despised me.Julianne had received praise for her looks since she was young.When she joined the Quill family, she had di

My exam spanned two days.Irvin stood outside the exam center and watched me the entire time. His gaze was so intense that his buddies even felt heartbroken for him. Thus, they found a way to let me know what he had been doing in hopes I would feel sorry for him.However, I didn't feel sorry for Irvin when I found out he had been following me this whole time. Instead, I thought he was a stalker and passed him a warning through his buddies. I told them to tell him I would call the police if he continued following me.His buddies were taken aback by my reaction. Having witnessed how strongly I had loved Irvin, they couldn't believe I was completely unsympathetic. In fact, they were shocked when I had even threatened to call the police.…I went through my answers with Mr. Holland after the exam was over. Once I had confirmed I had no issues passing it, I finally relaxed.Coincidentally, it was just in time for Julianne's criminal trial for my near-death kidnapping.Mom and Henry h

Following the direction Landon was pointing at, Irvin spotted Noah. His eyes darkened, but he didn't respond.Landon said, "Emilia is beautiful and wealthy. She'll be swarmed by suitors very soon now that she's divorced. I really think you were too impulsive when you gave all your assets to her. If you want to have a chance of winning her back, I suggest you figure out how to get some cash on hand, Irvin."Otherwise, you won't be able to win her back. Not only that, you'll have to watch helplessly as another man snatches her away. Or worse, she might even be scammed out of her money and love."Landon genuinely felt Irvin had made the wrong move. Regardless of how remorseful he was, he still shouldn't have transferred all his assets to me.We lived in a capitalistic era, so what could Irvin possibly have without money? Without it, he had nothing and was a nobody. Forget about getting me back, he would probably have no choice but to watch as I was snatched away by someone else.Irvi

I hadn't even taken my exam, and I already promised to buy two meals.Noah insisted on accompanying me to the exam center after we finished eating. He claimed he had nothing to do at home, so I agreed.We soon arrived at the exam center. Once we alighted from the car, I told him to find a café and wait for me there. I would call him once I was done with the exam.As soon as I finished speaking, someone else butted into our conversation."Exam? No way, Emilia! Don't tell me you're talking about the exam for grad school? Why would someone like you even try getting into one?" said a female voice.I turned toward the direction of the voice with my brow furrowed. It belonged to Lily's mother, Susan Walter.I involuntarily grimaced as I recalled our last encounter. She had incessantly tried to set me up with that nephew of hers—I think he had a Ph.D."No offense, Emilia, but aren't you too old for that?" Susan asked without waiting for a response. "Why are you trying to get into grad

As Julianne saw that Irvin showed signs of wavering, she cried even harder. "Irvin, I didn't! I didn't mean to kill her! I just wanted to make her angry. It was really an accident that she fell off the cliff and got so badly hurt."She continued, "If I really wanted to kill her, I would have let them do it when they kidnapped her. Why would I wait until you arrived? "And you know that cliff isn't even that high. Why would I choose such a short one if I wanted her dead? I really, really didn't mean for her to die. That was just an accident…"Julianne sobbed pitifully. It was such a heartbreaking sight that even the coldest person would feel sorry for her. Let alone Irvin, who had pampered her so much that it had become a natural instinct to him.Moreover, deep down, he had always believed that she wasn't truly evil. And so, he believed her. He believed that Julianne never intended to kill me.That she didn't do those things out of malice but because she was mentally unstable, beli

Mom's eyes widened in shock, as if she never expected me to say that. After a long pause, she finally said, "Millicent, you are completely inhumane!"I chuckled. "Well. I never had a humane mom to begin with."…After knowing Mom could no longer affect me, Julianne started begging Irvin again. When he went to visit her, she bawled her eyes out. "Irvin, I know I was wrong… I really do…"She knew it would be useless to deny it, so she could only plead with Irvin. "I thought that she had drugged me. I hated her so much that I lost control and did something terrible. But I really know I was wrong now…"She sobbed so hard that anyone who saw her would feel their heart breaking.But the man, who had once adored her and couldn't bear to see her suffer even the slightest discomfort, showed no trace of emotion on his cold face. Irvin could understand that she had done the wrong thing out of hatred, but he couldn't forgive her. And he had no right to forgive her.If she hadn't grown up

Even though my heart had been tampered with countless times, Mom's words still stung a little.She actually said she would cut ties with me. She actually went that far for Julianne.Why? Why was she willing to go to such lengths for an adopted daughter?At first, she didn't even like Julianne. Maybe, over time, she grew to like her more because of her misunderstandings about me, thinking that I was cruel and heartless.But after she learned the truth and realized I didn't do those things, why didn't she feel guilty for misunderstanding me? Why did she continue to treat me this way?Even when there was proof that Julianne was evil and not as nice as she had believed, not only did she not dislike Julianne, but she still tried to do things for her.Why?Why did she still love Julianne so much?Even after being hurt by her so many times, I still couldn't bring myself to cut ties with Mom. And yet, she could. How could she do this?I was overwhelmed with pain and endless spirals of
