Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 320
Irvin felt conflicted as he looked at Grace.Moments before Timothy had died, he had entrusted Irvin to take good care of her and his son. And from Timothy's reluctance to leave them behind, Irvin could tell how much he had loved them.Yet, Grace was so ruthless and had even used her own child just to harm me.After sending Dorothy out of the room, Irvin placed the examination report in front of her.Given that they were both intelligent, Irvin got straight to the point."Withdraw the lawsuit," he demanded.Placing her bowl down, Grace dabbed her mouth before responding with, "Why should I?"It seemed she had chosen to be obstinate until her hand was forced.Seeing this, Irvin replied, "You knew your baby had a heart defect, and you didn't intend to keep him. So you decided to use the child to frame my wife! Emilia never pushed you! Also, you know very well that I'm her husband—not yours!"Grace stared at him blankly.Irvin frowned and was about to say something when she star

Grace looked utterly weak, hurt, and innocent. However, Irvin knew how terrifying she actually was.Despite her fragile and sorrowful appearance, he knew what she truly meant by her words was, "So what if you have evidence that my child needed to be terminated? What does it matter that you can prove I had intentionally tried to frame Emilia Quill? "Can you sue me with that evidence? Can you use it to prove Emilia didn't push me and that she's innocent?"Irvin forced himself to calm down before asking, "What do you want?"Grace knew his patience was running out. She was also aware that her innocent and pitiful act might backfire if she kept it up.She stopped pretending and plainly said, "I believe you've already looked into me thoroughly by now and know about my family situation."Yes, Irvin did.Grace continued, "My husband is dead, and I've lost my child. So, I can forget about being the future matriarch of the Hardwell family because very soon, I will mean nothing to them, g

Irvin didn't answer me the entire ride.Once we reached where I was staying, I couldn't help asking him again.Only then did he finally reply, "I had to agree to a deal.""What deal?" I asked."I have to keep pretending to be Timothy and be in a nominal marriage with Grace until she takes back control of the Keller family."Then, Irvin gave me a rough explanation of the Kellers' situation.I didn't know what to say in response, so I was silent for a long time.Suddenly, Irvin gripped my hand and begged, "Please wait for me, babe."He needed to play Timothy, who was married to Grace. So, naturally, he couldn't continue being intimate with me.Because of this, Irvin hoped I could wait until he helped Grace succeed with her plan. He also hoped I could wait until he had taken full control of the Hardwell family too. That way, no one could threaten us again.But did I want to? No, I didn't, and I wouldn't.In fact, I even felt like God was helping with my indecisiveness because i

Tears instantly welled up in Irvin's eyes."But, babe… Haven't we been getting along well?" he argued.It was true. We had been getting along when he still had amnesia from the hypnosis."You said you'd consider getting back together with me once my legs healed. And I only agreed to Grace's deal because I had no other choice. I did it for you, babe!" Irvin continued, sounding wronged.He had only accepted Grace's deal to get me released. Yet, now that I had been, I was casting him aside."I won't be grateful to you for getting me released from police custody, Irvin, because you're the reason I was in there in the first place," I flatly stated."If you feel that I'm being unfair to you, you can always break your deal with her and let her put me back in," I added. "I have other ways to get out, so I don't need you to sacrifice yourself for me."The person my lawyer contacted had already gotten back to me. He owned a company group that had a research lab. So, if I agreed to join th

"My deal with Grace is a win-win situation!" Irvin reasoned.Then, as though thinking of something else, he added, "Actually, it's more than that. I'd also be repaying the debt I owe Timothy. I haven't told you yet, but Timothy really did give his life to save mine, even though he had never met me before!"Maybe it was because of our blood bond, but he seemed to know who I was when he saw I looked identical to him. And when Timothy realized we were twins, he didn't hesitate for a second to sacrifice himself to save me."More tears pooled in Irvin's eyes. He couldn't help recalling how Timothy had shielded him and died for him.William was emotionally detached because he had grown up in a cold and harsh world.Unlike him, Irvin had been raised in a bubble of love and privilege. Later on, he became a powerful CEO and even experienced all sorts of hardships. Despite this, he was still slightly childish, sincere toward others, and valued relationships.And because of this, Irvin woul

Mr. Holland's health hadn't been great lately, so I didn't dare let him know that I had been arrested yet again.The entire time I had been in the detention center, what I worried about most was that he would be discharged the next day. And if I didn't show up at the hospital to pick him up, Mr. Holland might start overthinking.But now that I had been released, I was no longer worried about that. So, I slept soundly that night for the first time in a while.Early the next day, I headed to the hospital to pick Mr. Holland up.However, I didn't expect to run into Grace soon after arriving. She had always been slim, but she looked so wraith-like now that a gust of wind could knock her over. It was apparent she had been through an ordeal this time.Grace smiled faintly when she spotted me. "Can we talk for a minute, Ms. Quill?""No, thank you," I curtly replied.I honestly felt there was nothing for us to talk about, so I turned to leave.But then, I heard her softly say, "You sti

Following my success at the Global Technology Forum, the AI chip and frequency-based therapy device I had developed had caught the interest of several countries. That meant I would need to scale up the production of these inventions because the prototypes we had put together in our lab weren't enough.In other words, we needed to look into mass manufacturing them in order to cater to demand.Naturally, when such an obvious profit-making venture hit the radar, many came knocking on my door after the summit.From there, I had entered into a partnership with a quality manufacturer. However, after only three production batches, they already wanted to hike up their prices and asked for a bigger cut of the profits.This wasn't the kind of company I could build a long-term partnership with, so I was about to start scouting for potential new partners. But I didn't expect William to already know about it.Hence, I looked at him in astonishment.William smirked and raised his wine glass to

Without thinking, I jumped in her path to grab the blade in her hand.Just as I was about to, the woman was suddenly kicked away. The force was terrifying, and it had happened so fast too. In the blink of an eye, she was already flying backward.Then, my hands were yanked to the side hard.William's handsome face was frighteningly stormy as he scanned my hands for any injuries. His furious expression only eased slightly upon confirming I hadn't been hurt.Then, he berated me like I was an idiot while still holding my hands. "Are you out of your mind? You just tried to grab a knife with your bare hands! What if your hands had gotten permanently damaged? What then?"I blinked blankly at him. Given that his life had been on the line, I didn't have time to think. And what were my hands compared to his life? So, of course, I would prioritize protecting his life over preserving them.Still…"Why are you so upset with me? I was just trying to save your life," I shot back.William scof

I couldn't stand to even look at Julianne. So when I spotted her approaching, I said my goodbyes to William and left.Not long after I left, William stood up and turned to Julianne."Let's go. It's time to meet your godparents," he said.Julianne was momentarily taken aback before she quickly said, "William, what are you—""Showing my support. You only acknowledged Emilia Quill's parents as your godparents out of spite, didn't you?" William answered.Julianne knew she couldn't hide how much she hated me from William. Hence, she had decided from the get-go not to do so.However, she found herself asking, "Doesn't Noah like Emilia?"Wasn't William only helping me because of Noah?"So what?" William asked, cocking an eyebrow.Julianne's heart involuntarily skipped a beat at the devilish expression on his face.…My family was very excited when they received a phone call from Julianne, saying she would be bringing William to visit them."Isn't Lianne the best!

Henry was a man of poor character who couldn't do anything right. However, he had a natural talent for creating all sorts of harmful drugs.As mentioned, if these were medieval times, he would surely be exalted as a talented alchemist—known for his ability to craft and cure poison. Truthfully, any drug Henry casually created would definitely be considered illegal.Struck with an idea, I looked up at William and said, "Why don't you talk to Henry directly? Given your status, I'm sure he will happily tell you everything."William looked pleased at my use of the word "happily"."That's actually why I came," he admitted.Then, thinking of something else, I quickly added, "Actually, no. Henry might not happily spill the beans to you. He's very protective of Julianne, so he may lie to you instead. You'll need to be careful discerning which of his words are true."William chuckled. "I know, don't worry. Once I've gotten all the puzzle pieces, and if Julianne is no longer useful, I'll ha

I admit that my way of thinking was outdated and too conservative. However, that was who I was, and there was nothing I could do about it, even though I wanted to change.If I could change my personality and loosen up, my life would probably be a lot simpler. There were so many handsome men out there. What could be better than spending time with some of them?I couldn't help sighing as I pondered Noah's borderline obsession with me.Suddenly, my phone rang—it was William calling."Where have you gone? I came to the hospital to visit your grandmother, but you're not here," he said.Hearing this, I told him to wait for me and said I would be there soon.When I arrived at the hospital, William was leaning against a red maple tree and smoking a cigarette.On this crisp autumn day, he was dressed in a camel wool coat. The coat had been tailored perfectly to fit his tall frame, making him appear even more striking.Beautiful people looked good no matter what they did, and William was

Just as I started to wonder who this person might be, Noah called me."Hey, Emi. You don't need to worry about what's happening online. Uncle Will told me he's already found evidence and will take action very soon. I'll be wrapping things up here and heading back soon too, Emi, so you don't have to be afraid of anyone anymore!" he said over the phone.After completing his master's, Noah started managing things for the Ashford family and his maternal grandfather's side of the family.As such, he was always on the go, flying to different countries. This time, he had been gone for over a month and had been in Eutanzia. Because he was so far away, he didn't know William had already exposed the video online as soon as he got it.Noah was so busy, and yet he was still concerned for me. I felt touched."You should focus on what you need to do, Noah, and rest whenever you can," I said. "You don't have to worry about me too much."Cordelia had asked me to look after him. But all this time

Grace was an arrogant woman who was convinced she was untouchable. Yet, I had struck her. Despite this, not only was she unresentful, but she even apologized to me—someone she considered a weed under her heel.It was honestly frightening. Grace truly was ruthless."I also heard Dorothy spoke disrespectfully toward you, Ms. Quill, because of our minor altercation. Although she acted out of concern for me, that doesn't excuse her behavior," Grace said.Then, glancing at Dorothy, she instructed, "Apologize to Ms. Quill right now, Dorothy!"Dorothy instantly teared up at her words. However, her aggrieved tears weren't for herself but for Grace.Grace was dignified, and she was precious to her. Yet, she had to apologize to such a lowly person like me.It broke Dorothy's heart to see this. But then she thought of Grace's grand plan and knew she had to endure this for the bigger picture.Hence, without the slightest hesitation, Dorothy stepped forward and curtsied. "I apologize, Ms. Qu

"We've let a wolf in sheep's clothing into our home, Grace!" Agatha lamented.Grace and Agatha had thought they could use Irvin. Yet, not only had they failed to, but he was now even oppressing them. They truly had made a mistake by bringing Irvin back to the family."Yeah…" Grace agreed.She initially wanted to turn Irvin into her greatest pawn—using him to seize back power over the Keller family and then to become the true power holder in the Hardwell family.However, she had forgotten that he was a Hardwell.And once Irvin had gained Magnus' recognition, he would quickly turn things around and be the one calling the shots instead.At first, Grace had set her sights on Irvin because of his business acumen. Now, ironically, she had been beaten by the very thing that had caught her eye.She had always thought she was intelligent. However, it was now clear to Grace that not only was she a fool, she was also incredibly naive.On top of that, she had underestimated Irvin and me. S

But Irvin wasn't finished. "Emilia's grandmother was in the emergency room for hours before they could stabilize her," he said. "She suffered immensely because of the stunt you pulled. As for you? Your physical examination revealed you don't even have a minor injury, despite what Emilia did to you!"Emilia cares about her grandmother the most. So, it makes sense that she lost control and struck you because you hurt one of the people she loves the most. And yet, she still went easy on you because she kept in mind that you just miscarried your son. If anything, she's a lot kinder compared to you!"Irvin never forgot how Timothy had saved his life. That being said, Timothy was his saviour, not Grace. He would help Grace seize back control of the Keller family if she played nicely. However, their deal was off if she didn't."It wasn't me. I didn't—" Grace reflexively tried to defend herself. But before she could finish, Irvin cut her off. His voice was cold as he said, "Don't try

Irvin's words drained the color from Grace's face, and she looked deathly pale.But then, she came to a realization and instantly regained her composure. She even wondered what had been wrong with her these past few days. How had she allowed herself to end up in this situation?Grace had been doing just fine before. So why did she lose her cool just because I said a few sharp words to her?She might have come from a prestigious and powerful family, but her brother was gone. Her stepmother now ruled the Keller family, and her stepbrother was the Keller heir. In fact, Grace barely owned any shares left in the Keller family business.As for the Hardwell family, she would still have a standing in the household if she still had her son—but she didn't. To the Hardwells, she was just a childless widow. So, what else could Grace be to them besides someone who could be discarded at any moment?Irvin wasn't Timothy—he was an impostor. Even so, he was still a Hardwell by blood. Even if he di

Fabric bunched in Grace's hands as she clenched them underneath her blanket. Unable to keep up appearances anymore, her expression had become frighteningly thunderous.She never anticipated this would happen. Grace had thought she would be able to squash me easily, like I was a bug. Yet, I had turned around and bit her—hard.Agatha was stunned too, like she couldn't believe what was happening either. I wasn't just fearless, but I had even backed Grace into a corner."You all want Irvin to play Timothy and remain in the Hardwell family. Fine then, it's none of my business what you make him do. But from now on, leave me out of it! "Stay away from my grandmother and my mentor! If either of you dares to do anything to them or drag them into this again, we'll all go down together!" I warned.I knew full well that I was no match for the Hardwells. Going up against them would be like trying to stop a bullet with my bare hands. That being said, that only applied under the assumption that
