The guard immediately called for assistance using his radio and instructed them to head to the man's rescue.Seeing this, I stopped worrying about the man I had saved. I hurried back to the villa to shower and change my clothes.As I had been in the water and then stood in the cold wind, Cordelia worried I would catch a cold. Hence, she asked our in-house butler to make a large bowl of stew for me while I was showering.I was about to drink the bowl of hot stew when the head of hotel security knocked on our door. He told us they couldn't find anyone at the spot I had mentioned.The news shocked me. While the man's life was no longer in danger, I was sure he was still unconscious when I left. It was impossible for him to wake up and leave on his own in such a short amount of time.Plus, I had moved him so far up the beach that he was almost at the path leading to the hotel's garden. It was also low tide now, so he definitely wasn't pulled back out to sea. So, how could he have disa

I was so shocked that I spilled my drink.When I snapped out of my shock, I realized the figure was Irvin. He had his fist raised and was about to swing it again. Seeing this, I quickly rushed forward and grabbed his arm."What are you doing!" I sternly scolded.Irvin had looked like a raging wild beast. However, he instantly looked aggrieved when he heard me reprimand him."But he was harassing you, babe," he whined in protest.He had hurt me repeatedly, and we were already divorced. So, I didn't understand how he had the gall to still call me "babe" and behave this way.His behaviour irked me.Irvin kept claiming he loved me and was miserable. Yet, he still kept going to such lengths to help Julianne. This made me never want to see him again. And now that I had, I went from feeling like I was floating in heaven to feeling like I had descended into hell.I flung Irvin's hand away as I couldn't be bothered to deal with him. Instead, I strode up to Blondie, who was still on the

Ultimately, Irvin had a dominant personality.He knew he shouldn't and couldn't force me to do anything. So, his rationality had been suppressing his overwhelming urge to confine me against my will. But then, he heard I was bringing Noah with me on my island holiday. So, he followed after me.Irvin had rushed to my hotel immediately after getting off the plane. Then, before he could catch his breath, he saw Blondie standing close to me. His rationality immediately went out the window at the sight of this. That was why he lost control and charged at him.I scoffed at his words."We're divorced, Irvin. How's there an issue? Don't tell me you expect me to remain loyal to you for the rest of my life just because we were once married?" I retorted.Did he even understand what a divorce meant? It meant a man and woman were no longer involved with each other! It didn't matter that I currently didn't plan to get into another relationship. Besides, even if I were to get married right now,
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 237
Irvin's gaze was determined as he looked at me. Against my will, I recalled the way I had involuntarily felt when we were getting divorced. This thought filled me with unease.I was afraid. I feared everything he said would come true—that I would brainlessly love him again once I regained my memories.I could never accept this!My first thought once I got away from him was to have a one-night stand with a good-looking man.I knew myself. Having been raised by Grandma, I inherited the old-fashioned views of the older generation. I didn't love easily, but once I did, I would do so wholeheartedly.Hence, there was no way I would get back together with Irvin if I had slept with another man. It wouldn't matter how seriously lovesick I was, how much I wanted him back, or how much I wanted to love him again—I would never be with him ever again.Let's say I did love him again after somehow recovering my memories. Even if he could accept that I had slept with another man, we wouldn't be h

I glanced at Irvin but didn't respond.Irvin knew what I cared about most. So, he knew I wouldn't carelessly go against him after the threat he just made. Thus, he didn't stop me from leaving.When I returned to the party, I saw Cordelia holding a drink to the lips of a chiseled stud. Judging by the rosiness of her cheeks and the sparkle in her eyes, she was having a great time.She immediately released the man when she saw me walking over to her."Where have you been, darling? Don't tell me you've already picked a guy so fast? Sure, all the men here are hot, but even so, you still need to be cautious. At least check if they're disease-free—STDs are so rampant nowadays," Cordelia said.She had always been very cautious and made sure to use protection despite her wanton lifestyle. That was why I never worried about her when it came to this.I smiled and told her that wasn't the case—I had just gone to the washroom earlier. I didn't tell her about what happened with Irvin because I

I feared rushing into things would backfire and cause my memories to return. Hence, I abandoned my plan to get closer to the Hottie the next day.Instead, I focused on spending time with Grandma. At the same time, I also found an issue at the company that required Irvin to go back and handle it.Right now, I was so afraid of going back to being a lovesick fool again that I didn't even want to breathe the same air as him.Seeing that I was behaving and Noah wasn't around, Irvin decided to return to Claudeville. The issue I had found at the company was quite serious and really needed his attention anyway. So, after taking one last look at me from afar, he left.I instantly felt lighter once he did.Cordelia had a one-month break from work, so we planned on staying in Daiti for more than half of it. We would head back to Claudeville when it was almost time for her to resume work.I thought of proceeding with my plan before we went back—provided I didn't have any dreams like the one

Cordelia chuckled. "That's true."The big shot—who owned the fleet of helicopters—was about to leave the hotel when we went back. Word had it that the hotel's CEO had even specially flown in so he could personally see the big shot off."Come on! Let's go see what this VVIP looks like!" Cordelia excitedly urged.She had always loved joining in on the excitement, so she grabbed my hand and led me up the stairs by the side of the building. She was eager to see the person who commanded a fleet of helicopters just to pick him up.Dozens of bodyguards in black emerged just as we reached the third floor. They swiftly formed two neat rows, creating a path between them. Then, a smaller group of elite-looking guards respectfully created a perimeter around the big shot as he walked out of one of the villas.The big shot was exceptionally tall, even for a Cavashan man, that he stood out even among the men surrounding him. He had great posture and carried himself with the authority of someone

However, Cordelia said, "I can't tell."Perhaps she had met Julianne too few times, so she didn't see the resemblance."You don't think she's Julianne, do you? Do you still think Julianne faked her death and is still alive?" she asked.I was about to say that was exactly what I thought, but Cordelia spoke again."But I heard the housekeeper has been working at this hotel for over a year when I asked around earlier. Hasn't Julianne been dead for less than half a month?" she asked.I didn't know what to say because she had a point.Then, Cordelia added, "Besides, she wouldn't dare show up in such a place if she did fake her death, would she?"As a fugitive who had faked her death, Julianne should be hiding in some dark corner because she was too afraid to appear in broad daylight. She surely shouldn't be in a place like this."You have a point…" I was going to say more when my phone rang.It was Grandma. She told me she had a bad case of food poisoning and was having diarrhea

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

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

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
