She gave me a thumbs-up. "Perfect!"I knew she was complimenting me for not forgetting everyone except Irvin.Yeah, she was right."Alright, no more talk about that jerk. It's your birthday, and we have to celebrate big!" I exclaimed.Today, I was going to spoil Cordelia and make her feel like the happiest princess in the world.I wrapped my arm around her and took just one step forward when a heavy crash of something hitting the ground sounded right behind us.We instinctively turned and saw a heavy flowerpot smashed on the spot where we had just been standing.The pot had shattered into pieces, sharp fragments scattered everywhere. Both our faces turned pale in an instant.I didn't even want to think about what would've happened if we hadn't taken that step forward.The pot was so heavy. If it hit our heads, it would be a disaster.Cordelia snapped out of it and looked up, ready to yell at whoever was responsible, but before she could say a word, two kids came running down

"Babe," Irwin called out as he snapped out of his daze. Then, he strode toward me.As he passed Julianne, who had been standing fine just moments before, she suddenly collapsed.Irvin's expression changed instantly, and he rushed to catch her, completely forgetting about me in the process.Out of his sight, Julianne shot me a provoking smile.I smiled back. I wasn't scared of her tricks because I was still counting on her to help me get a divorce.When Julianne fell, Simone rushed over, tears already streaming down her face. "Lianne, what's wrong? Is it because Emilia's stealing your things?"She looked up at Irvin, sobbing. "Irvin, we've all tried to give in to Emilia. We've let her have her way, but she's gone too far! She knows how much Lianne needs those pieces from Thompson, yet she's deliberately taking them from her! She's trying to make Lianne suffer!"Leaning against Irvin, Julianne said weakly, "Simone, don't say that. Whatever Millie wants, she can have. I don't mind…

"That was her mom's dying wish, and today was her mom's birthday! How could you treat her like this?" I asked. "Come on, stop making a scene. Show a little compassion for Lianne, will you?"Irvin was so angry that his face darkened immediately. He had never imagined that I could be this sharp-tongued. Every word I said was like a hook, sinking deep and twisting until he couldn't find a response.It took him a long moment before he finally looked down at Julianne."Emilia's just being childish. Don't take it to heart. Here, take this. I'll have someone get you another one from somewhere else. No matter the cost, I'll make sure you have the latest version today."This was the first time I had won against Julianne in all our countless confrontations.Although this was the first time Irvin ever told her to back down for me, I wasn't happy at all.There were always plenty of ways to solve a problem. No matter how rare or difficult something was, Irvin could get it if he wanted to. Not

It was John Langley, my classmate from sophomore year, the one who had the car accident.His mother, Victoria Hayes, spoke carefully but with barely contained eagerness. "Lia, I'm so sorry to bother you. I really don't mean to intrude, but I just have to ask. How's your research on that AI chip coming along? The one that could help people walk again… Is there hope?"When John was still in school, he would always come home and talk about you. He said you were the most brilliant person in the world. He believed nothing was too difficult for you. He was certain you'd find a way to develop that chip and help him stand up again."Look, I've been massaging John's legs every single day over the years. His muscles are still in great condition, no signs of atrophy at all. If you need anyone for testing, John is ready anytime."Her face was filled with hope, so earnest and desperate.My hands clenched tightly at my sides without me realizing it.I didn't know how to respond. I didn't know

"Good luck!" Victoria said.…Once we got in the car, Cordelia looked at me with excitement. "Darling, are you thinking about going back to the lab?"She really knew me so well. I hadn't said a word, yet she understood everything, just from the decision I'd made in my heart.When I heard Mr. Holland mentioned that it wasn't too late for me to return to the lab, I couldn't stop thinking about it.I couldn't help but wonder if I could really go back to the lab.Should I go back? Should I return to what I truly want to do?I had always loved what I studied, and I really wanted to continue striving in the field I was passionate about. However, I had been away from academics, away from the lab for so long, and I wasn't sure if I still had what it takes.So, even though I had been thinking about it constantly, I just couldn't make up my mind.When I saw Victoria earlier, something in me clicked. I finally made the decision.I wanted to fight for what I love, for the people who were

Seeing my expression change, Cordelia instinctively leaned over to check my phone. The moment she read Irvin's message, she burst out cursing."That worthless piece of shit!"I didn't say anything, staring at the screen. I felt a deep ache for my past self and couldn't help but scold that version of me in my head.How could I have been so foolish to love a man like that?Without a word, I blocked his number again and turned off my phone.I didn't care about him anymore and had no intention of wasting energy on his nonsense. Apparently, he wasn't ready to let it go. He showed up with his people, blocking our way.Maybe it was because I hadn't answered his calls or messages, and he'd spent a long time searching for me. His frustration mixed with uncontrollable arrogance fueled his simmering anger.He instinctively wanted to scold me in a cold tone, but when his eyes met my indifferent, impatient gaze, the arrogance and anger he carried suddenly faded."Emi, this is urgent. Please

After whispering a few words in her ear, she stopped insisting.Still, she couldn't help but look at me with worry as I got into the car. She didn't look away until our car had driven off.I was touched.I had such good friends, a passion for my studies, and things I wanted to do. My future was filled with endless possibilities. I had to escape this muddy, miserable life as soon as possible.I wasn't sure if Irvin was trying to make conversation or what, but he asked, "What did you say to her that made her stop following us?"I gave him a sideways glance. "What's it to you?"He clenched his hand that was resting on his lap, as if trying to suppress his anger. It must be difficult for someone who was always so high and mighty.He seemed like he wanted to say more, but I had already turned my attention to the window, clearly not wanting to engage with him anymore.However, he still didn't take the hint. He grabbed my hand and placed it in his, gently caressing it.I was disguste

"Millicent! You've become so cruel! Lianne is in the emergency room fighting for her life, and you still dared to hang up on our calls!"Aside from Irvin's repeated calls, my parents also took turns calling me, but I didn't answer any of them.Before I could step away, Irvin moved in front of me, blocking my mom from hitting me."Mom, don't be angry. Emi is here now."The tall and sturdy Irvin blocked my mom completely, making sure she couldn't reach me at all.If this had been before, I would've been touched to see him protect me like that, but now, I just wanted to let out a cold snort."Irvin, stop protecting her! She clearly wants to kill Lianne! Lianne's in the emergency room, fighting for her life… Her life is clearly hanging by a thread!"My mom was so angry that her whole body was trembling.It seemed like Julianne was really on the brink of death. Being cold-hearted and ruthless, I still wanted to push her over the edge,If she were really dying, how could there still

Although I believed that Irvin had an ulterior motive when he said he would transfer all his assets to me, he most likely thought that I was still the same as before and couldn't bear to see him being treated unfairly. He might have thought that as long as he showed me enough love, I would give in and listen to him without needing him to actually do anything. That I would do whatever he asked me to do.In the end, he wouldn't have to pay any price to have me withdraw the lawsuit and publicly declare that Julianne was innocent.He never truly intended to give me all his assets.However, this wouldn't stop me from my sweet goal of making sure he would leave our marriage with nothing to his name. Both he and Julianne would suffer in misery. As I listened to music, I drifted to sleep in a great mood.I felt that no matter what Irvin was plotting, I wouldn't be losing out on this. However, I forgot that whenever Irvin told me to wait, it had never led to something good.Just like

"Why did I give birth to someone like you!"Just as Mom was about to grab me, Shaun stepped forward, placing himself in between us. As he stood in front of Mom with his tall frame, she felt intimidated and didn't dare to move."Mrs. Quill, Emi and I are just classmates. Please don't insult your own daughter like this! If she's a shameless cheater, what does that make you?" He added, "And did she say something wrong online? Aren't you just like that? To be honest, I'm curious like everyone else. Why would you help an adopted daughter and harm your very own?"Shaun really was curious like the other netizens, wanting to know Mom's reasoning. He couldn't understand how she could treat the daughter she carried in her womb for ten months this way.Mom instinctively snapped back, "I never helped Lianne harm her! She's the one who's so wicked and…"As she spoke, her voice gradually softened. It was as if she suddenly realized I had never actually done any of the horrible things she said

After eating a mouthful of stew, I got up to open the door. Given how urgently this person was knocking, I thought it was my mom who had come to confront me.After all, many people had been cursing her out for helping her adopted daughter frame her own child after my public statement.Mom cared a lot about her reputation. I think she must be on the verge of losing it now, with the whole internet firing away at her. Afraid that she would hit me the moment she saw me, I didn't open the door fully and just left a small crack open.After Irvin had yanked off the chain lock on my door last time, I immediately had the sturdiest and most expensive one installed. The locksmith told me that no one would be able to break this lock.I prepared for the worst and finally opened the door.To my surprise, it wasn't Mom. It was Shaun.I was stunned for a moment.Outside the door, Shaun also froze at the sight of the chain lock in my house.After snapping out of it, I smiled awkwardly and f

It didn't matter whether he truly wanted to make amends or had other intentions. There was no harm in giving him a "chance" as long as he transferred his assets to me.Hearing this, Irvin's eyes lit up instantly, even brighter than before. He must have thought that, just like before, I would forget everything and fall in love blindly with him again after his gentle comfort.He was so excited that he wanted to hug me.I lowered my gaze to hide the disgust in my eyes and stepped back. "There's no need to rush. Let's handle the important matters first."Go have your assets evaluated with a lawyer. Once you've transferred them to me and signed a new divorce agreement stating that you'll voluntarily leave the marriage with nothing, I'll immediately withdraw the charges."Of course, right after that, I would charge Julianne with attempted murder for hiring a crime organization. She wouldn't even have the chance to leave the detention center!And if he chose to save Julianne, it would b

"What condition?" Irvin instinctively asked."We get a divorce, and you leave with nothing," I answered. "As soon as we get the divorce certificate, I'll drop the charges." Didn't he love her so much that he was willing to do anything for her?So be it! Let me see if you're willing to give everything up for your true love.He expected me to drop the charges and feel bad for his mistress just by listening to his words? He must be delusional!Julianne had never worked in years, yet she had the money to hire a crime organization to kill me. Whose money did she use? It was so obvious that there was no need to guess.Even though Irvin and I had a frosty relationship, his money was still our shared possession. Julianne had actually used my money to kill me. How pathetic must I have been?And now, he had the audacity to ask me to drop the charges. Not only did he expect me to let her off the hook, but he also wanted me to make an announcement online that everything had been a misund

"Trust me, there's no way Lianne has set you up like that to do you harm," Irvin said. "I know she doesn't like seeing you do well, and she's not exactly a great person. But the reason her mind is so twisted is because she misunderstood you."He added, "Even if we assume the worst, maybe she isn't like this because of the misunderstanding but because she's truly a bad person, no matter how bad she is, she wouldn't ruin her own chastity and her life just to hurt you!"Julianne's long-standing feelings for Irvin made him believe that no matter how terrible she was or how much she wished me harm, she wouldn't sacrifice her chastity to harm me.After all, he deeply believed that Julianne wasn't such a terrible person."Emi, I misunderstood you before and hurt you. You know how painful it is to be misunderstood. Please don't inflict the same pain on someone else, okay?" he pleaded.Irvin wanted me to remember how painful it felt when I was misunderstood and detained so that I could fee

Since I had something to discuss with Irvin, I let him in. I thought he had come at this time to talk about the company. After all, because of my public response, he had become the most well-known scumbag online, which also affected the company's stock. Many shareholders had already expressed their dissatisfaction.Or maybe he was here to offer his sincerity, still wanting to express his so-called "love" for me. He might say that he knew he was wrong, that he wanted to win me back, and that he wanted to beg me for my forgiveness or something.Or perhaps he was infuriated reading the online comments calling him a scumbag, exposing the fact that he never actually liked me, and now he came to lash out at me.To get back on me.That was what I had expected from him.However, I never would have imagined that he didn't come to stabilize the company's stock, nor did he offer his sincerity or try to clear his name.Instead, he had come for Julianne.He wanted to bail her out today.

When the video evidence of me "drugging" Julianne was first released, Irvin publicly confirmed that I had interfered in his relationship with Julianne, which led to her being sexually assaulted by his father. Everyone was aware of this.I didn't need to say anything more.Irvin instantly became the worst scumbag in history. The internet was filled with criticism and people cursing him."His wife was there for him through thick and thin while he was starting his business. Not only did he fail to appreciate her and have an affair with his stepmother, but he also framed her and claimed she intervened in his relationship with his stepmother! He even tried to send his wife to prison!""I've seen plenty of scumbags, but never one as bad as him! He's so disgusting!""The more I think about it, the scarier it gets. Maybe he only pursued his wife for her money back then!""You don't even need to guess, I'm sure he did! He used his wife's money to succeed, and once he did, he didn't want t
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 122
