Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 1
I was found by an older man who was fishing early in the morning. When he cast his line, the hook accidentally snagged onto me, and no matter how hard he pulled, it wouldn't come loose. He got closer and saw me floating in the water. Terrified, he dropped his fishing rod and ran to call the cops.When the police pulled me out of the water, I was barely breathing. The doctors who treated me didn't think I would survive, and my family didn't even bother signing the consent forms for further treatment. Yet somehow, I clung to life and became a medical miracle.The moment of impact when I fell was excruciating, but waking up afterward was so much worse. The pain was unbearable; it felt like my body was punishing me for surviving. Out of the 206 bones in a human body, I had broken 108, some of them shattered into fragments. Every inch of me hurt, and the torment made me wish I hadn't made it.I couldn't move, nor could I stand anyone touching me. Even when the nurse lightly pressed o

The man frowned when he saw the shards of glass on the floor, his cold, arrogant demeanor becoming even more intimidating. "Throwing tantrums and breaking things in the hospital? When are you going to grow up?"I stared at him, completely confused. I wondered, "A tantrum? Breaking things? Who's this guy?"He looked like he had more to say but seemed to think better of it. Instead, he scowled and said, "Lianne is refusing to leave the hospital and go home because of your antics."She's upset and talking about leaving. No matter what, you're going to apologize to her today and convince her to stay."He stepped forward and reached out to pull me off the bed. Instinctively, I recoiled from his hand and shouted, "Who are you? I don't know you! Don't touch me!"Although I could move now, my injuries hadn't fully healed, and the thought of someone touching me terrified me.He frowned, clearly annoyed. "Emilia, what are you doing now?""What am I doing? I don't even know who you are! Yo

Suddenly finding out I had a husband made it impossible to fall asleep, so I decided to call my best friend, Cordelia Lowell. I hadn't reached out to her for months because I didn't want her to worry about my injuries. Thankfully, she hadn't contacted me either. If she had, she definitely would have found out how badly I was hurt.But the moment the call connected, I couldn't help but feel a little bitter as I said, "Cordelia, you're so mean. I didn't call you, so you decided not to call me either? It's been over two months! Not a single call or even a text. Are you serious?"I expected her to hurriedly explain that she had been somewhere remote, buried in research, with no signal or way to contact me. Instead, there was a long silence on the other end before she finally said, "Emilia, we're not friends anymore. Did you forget we cut ties?"Her words hit me harder than the revelation about my mysterious husband. I was completely stunned. Cordelia was my best friend in the world—

I did not sit idly by during the month I spent in rehab. I made sure to conduct a thorough investigation of my relationship with Irvin and Julianne.Irvin and I had married for love—I thought I was marrying for the right reasons. I had poured everything into helping him start his business, even abandoning my studies to become a housewife so I could take better care of him.But all along, he was just using me, pretending to care. The truth was, he was in love with Julianne.After Julianne returned, things became clear. On our wedding anniversary, Irvin took Julianne to see the Northern Lights. On my birthday, he took her to Thogyo to enjoy the romantic spring season. For Valentine's Day, he gave her enough red roses to fill an entire villa and a massive diamond ring. Meanwhile, I received only the free gifts he got when buying her presents.Despite all of this, I didn't want to divorce him. After the pain, I still served him, running around taking care of him, just hoping to keep
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 5
Immediately, everyone started calling me cold-hearted. Amid their curses, I noticed Julianne's smug and provocative look.Ever since she moved into our house, I had repeatedly fallen victim to her supposed "gentle kindness". She was someone who could be ruthless, even with herself. It reminded me of the time she had framed me by grabbing my hand and forcing me to push her down the stairs. It resulted in her spending over a month in the hospital due to her severe injuries.After I spoke, she gave a pitiful yet sweet smile, and with the knife in her hand, she cut her throat.If it hadn't been for Irvin's quick reflexes kicking in, leading to him grabbing the knife before she could do any real damage, she might have bled out right there. Sometimes, I almost admired her for how far she was willing to go.Despite Irvin's quick actions preventing Julianne from bleeding to death, the knife still left a deep cut. It wasn't life-threatening, but even a small injury was enough to make Irvin

Mom was about to say something when my quick agreement stunned her. It seemed that was entirely out of her expectations.Even Dad, who was ready to blow his top, was taken aback.After all, the past me would never have agreed to a divorce even if they threatened to beat me to death.Before they could recover from their shock, I added, "I'm still not fully recovered and don't feel like moving around—I don't think I'll go with you to apologize. Once Irvin drafts the divorce agreement, have his lawyer bring it straight to me."With that, I pulled the covers over my head and lay down.The soaked quilt felt suffocating, and I felt like I was struggling to catch my breath. Still, it was better than facing my parents' impending joy.My parents knew me well enough to realize I wasn't bluffing. Though they were incredulous that I agreed so readily, they understood that I genuinely wanted a divorce.Hence, it didn't take long before their kindness and affection surfaced."You silly child

Startled, I instinctively took several steps back.I thought he was pretending to be drunk so that he could take advantage of me. But what I didn't expect was for him to be even more dangerous than that!"Honey... I'm back..." He staggered to his feet and lunged at me.With his tall stature and muscular build, I might not survive if he managed to knock me over. Frightened, I ducked to the side.He missed and met with the ground instead, his massive body shaking the floor with a loud thud."Honey…"A pair of doe eyes looked up at me, utterly dejected. He probably couldn't believe I would have avoided him.His expression resembled that of a child whose happiness had been crushed—one who had joyfully run to embrace his most trusted person only to be pushed away.As much as I didn't want to, I felt somewhat sorry for him.I began to understand why I used to be so infatuated with this man, reluctant to let go. His face was precisely my type—charming in a way that tugged at my heart

"Emilia, how many times must I tell you? There is nothing between Lianne and me—especially not what you're thinking! Stop using divorce as a threat. Even if you do, I'm not sending her abroad!"I thought it had finally dawned on him that I genuinely wanted this divorce. Who would have known that he would twist my words? Here he was, accusing me of using divorce as leverage again.This inability to communicate with him in a human language was driving me to the brink of despair.Once again, I looked at him with a grave expression and said, "Irvin Sawyer, I'm not being dramatic, nor am I using divorce to threaten you. And I certainly don't intend for you to send Julianne abroad. "I sincerely, wholeheartedly, truly hope you two can be together! If I could cut my heart open and show it to you, you would be able to see just how genuine my blessings are for you two!"Irvin clenched his hands into tight fists at his sides. The veins on the backs of his hands bulged.I once told him I wa

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

"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

"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

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

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

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

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
