Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 272
"Emi, I don't know what you're talking about."I turned my gaze toward him and chuckled. "Shaun, the great Professor Green. To be honest, I've always seen you as a dear friend. You have no idea how grateful I was to meet you that night, to have guided someone as capable and talented as you onto the right path and given Mr. Holland the chance to mentor such an outstanding student like you."As Shaun thought about the past, he parted his lips to say something, but in the end, no words came out."But as much as I was grateful back then, I regret it just as much now, for introducing you to Mr. Holland and giving you the chance to ruin his reputation." I continued to ask, "Shaun, how could you? You know how kind he was to you, how great of a person he was."He dedicated his entire life to research and his students. He wouldn't even treat himself to a decent meal, choosing instead to donate all his money to students in need. And yet, you tarnished his name. How could you?"If he had sla

Shaun said, "You don't have any evidence to prove that you led this research. All the research data was shared, so there was never a situation where Lyle was unaware of things. "Even if you find out who was behind it, it won't matter. No one would believe you were slandered. They'll just think you paid someone to take the blame. At this point, no matter what you do, it's useless."Just as Shaun said, things had reached a point where, unless I could present solid evidence proving that I led the successful research, no one would believe me.Shaun knew me well. He knew the conditions of my research and had planned his scheme perfectly."Emi, it's too late. There's nothing you can do to change things now. I know that I've wronged both you and Mr. Holland, but I had no other choice." If he had any other option, he wouldn't have resorted to this.He continued, "I know the current situation has made things very difficult for Mr. Holland and you, but you don't have to worry about your

I no longer knew what was real and what was fake.I wasn't sure if I just had poor judgment, or if people were just too good at pretending. It felt like I had never truly known Shaun at all. He was nothing like the refined, intelligent, and kind person I had known."Emi, let's go abroad together! Trust me, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you and Mr. Holland."…When Madam Hardwell returned to Hardwell Manor and heard that her daughter-in-law had fainted, her face darkened instantly. She stormed into Timothy's room.Before Timothy could say a word, she snapped at him harshly. "What's wrong with you? Don't you know Grace is pregnant? How could you make her serve you fruits? She was so exhausted that she fainted! If anything happens to her or the baby, can you bear the consequences?"Her harsh accusations made Timothy frown. He thought that something felt off.As far as he knew, his mother had always adored him. As the matriarch of such a prestigious family, she wa

However, Timothy didn't show any reaction on his face. He casually told Madam Hardwell that he had some work to attend to and asked her to leave.Since she was also worried about her daughter-in-law's health, she didn't linger for long.After she left, Timothy instinctively wanted to call Solomon to investigate his suspicions. But just as he was about to make the call, he suddenly realized that, given his current identity, everyone he knew had been introduced to him by the Hardwells.If he asked someone from the Hardwell family to investigate the Hardwells, not only would he find nothing, but he would also expose his doubts, making them wary of him.He stopped himself from making the call.Right now, his only option was to heal his legs as quickly as possible. Once he could move freely, he would have a real chance to uncover the truth.As he thought about this, he suddenly remembered the summit he had been watching earlier.So, he reopened his laptop, intending to learn more abo

Being abandoned as a child was one thing. But now, he wasn't even allowed to be himself.From now on, he could only live in this world under the identity of Timothy Hardwell.That was really…Margaret couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to let it show and could only leave quickly.…"Emi, I really want to make it up to you and Mr. Holland. The reason I did that was because you hurt us first. I had no choice but to do this so we could be even. Let's go abroad and start anew. We can live just like before, okay?"Shaun genuinely enjoyed spending time with me. We had so many shared topics and similar thoughts.When we were spending time together, he would often forget his original purpose for approaching me.He would instinctively treat me well.When he first heard about my accident, he panicked, forgetting everything else, only wanting to see me as soon as possible and make sure I was alright.When he saw me being wronged, his f

"I've liked Irvin since I entered college, and it wasn't easy for me to get close to him. He began valuing me more and more because of my excellent sales skills. And it wasn't long before we would be together forevermore!"But you—" Gemma pointed accusingly at me, then continued, "You damn saboteur, Emilia! You took Irvin away on the night he had gotten drunk and was going to sleep with me! And because you did, I was sexually assaulted by that balding, pot-bellied client!"That man was a sick bastard! He beat me until my leg was broken because I wouldn't stop struggling. Not only that, he also punched my gut until I bled internally. I've become infertile because of what he did! You ruined my life, Emilia! And now, I've finally destroyed you, you bitch!" In an aggrieved tone, she said, "Do you know how miserable I've been all these years? Do you know how much hard work and effort it took to drag you down? You don't deserve to live, you bitch! You should die for what you've done. You

"Why wouldn't I? I haven't done any of the things you've accused me of. As for you, regardless of what you've suffered in the past, you shouldn't have done what you did. You've caused me a great deal of harm by taking those misleading photos and slandering my name. And in doing so, you've broken the law," I coldly replied.Snapping out of his daze, Shaun begged, "Please don't do this, Emi. Gemma, she—"He had more to say, but I didn't listen. There was no need for me to, so I started to leave.Seeing this, Shaun urgently yelled, "You said I was your savior, Emi! You told me you were grateful to me for saving your life and that you would do whatever I asked of you in the future!"Back then, Shaun had saved me because he genuinely wanted to. And because he also felt guilty for having intentions to harm me, he never expected me to repay him.However, Gemma was being arrested right now. Thus, it was the only thing he could use to try to get me to let his sister go.I glanced back at
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 279
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

"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

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

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
