I looked at him seriously and said, "I'm not playing around. Everything I said is the truth. If you don't believe me, you can check."Irvin met my serious gaze, and at first, it seemed like he couldn't believe I was actually lying so confidently. Then, a surge of intense anger flashed in his eyes."Emilia, you made me sign the divorce papers when Lianne was in danger. I already signed it, and now you're still doing this? Do you want her to die that badly?"He thought I was lying. He believed that after I got him to sign the divorce papers, I was suddenly backing out and refusing to donate blood.He had always thought that the three months I spent in the hospital were just a tantrum, that I hadn't really been hurt.If someone didn't love you, how little must they care about you? We had known each other for eight years, been married for four, and even worked side by side on our careers with such great harmony.Yet, he firmly believed that I, someone who hated going to the hospita
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 60
When Irvin saw my face becoming pale instantly, a bloodthirsty and cold smile formed on his lips. He said, "Emilia, don't think I'm still that fool from back then. I won't let you toy with me like that again!"His words obviously carried another meaning, but at that moment, I had no energy to figure out what he was insinuating. When had I ever treated him like a fool and toyed with him?All I could think about was what to do next.I had anticipated that they wouldn't allow Julianne to use my blood because it was "impure", but I hadn't expected Irvin—ever the shrewd businessman—to go to such lengths.Even though my blood was useless, he insisted on drawing it.As I considered whether to take the gamble to sever this marriage at my mortal peril, Mom spoke up for me unexpectedly. "Irvin, I know you're angry. Trust me, I feel the same way too. But no matter what, I once carried Millicent for ten months in my womb. Since her blood is practically useless, don't force her to draw i
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 61
"Emilia, I wish I had never met you in this lifetime!" Irvin exclaimed.He looked at me like I'd done something that deeply wounded him. It seemed like I'd hurt him so much that he was ready to completely give up on me.For a moment, that pain in his eyes tugged at my heartstrings despite myself. But I showed nothing on the outside. Instead, I smiled at him and said, "Right back at you."I wished I'd never met him in this lifetime too. If I hadn't married him, I might still be in the lab, chasing my dreams, with a healthy body to boot. Unlike now… I was scarred all over, inside and out.Upon hearing my reply, Irvin suddenly laughed. His laughter was hearty and almost hysterical. "Fine! You're really something, Emilia!"He thought back to the time when I loved him. I went to great lengths and was willing to do anything. But when I no longer loved him, I seemed to despise even the person I used to be.Irvin was aggrieved by the fact that I was so heartless.He had once firmly beli
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 62
Claudeville was a city located toward the north, so its winters tended to be chilling. Today, it was even snowing. I wore wool thermal clothing, stuck on several heat packs and even added a down vest in the middle. Then, I topped it all off with a long down coat that almost reached my ankles. Yet, I was still shivering.I had always been sensitive to the cold. After getting severely injured, the cold affected me even more. But even as I trembled from the cold, I was in such a good mood that I felt like humming a joyful tune. When I arrived at the courthouse and saw there was still plenty of time, I happily went into a nearby coffee shop. After I picked a seat by the floor-to-ceiling window, I ordered a cup of coffee and a sandwich for breakfast. As I ate, I enjoyed the snowy view outside.I feared the cold but had an inexplicable fondness for snowy days. Ending this horrible marriage and starting a new chapter in life on a snowy day, which I loved most, was a pretty good sign to

As the man spoke, he even stepped forward, trying to pull me toward him.I frowned and instinctively wanted to step back. I felt deeply uncomfortable about getting dragged into their game.But before I could do so, Irvin pulled me into his arms with one swift motion. His expression was frigid as he growled, "Get lost!"The man opened his mouth as if to retort. But when he met Irvin's terrifying gaze, he didn't dare say another word. He even instinctively retreated.In the next moment, he regained his composure. In an attempt to deflect his embarrassment, he muttered under his breath, "If you still care about her so much, why bother getting divorced?"Although everyone around agreed that it was inappropriate for the man to involve another woman in his argument with his soon-to-be ex-wife, they couldn't help but feel that he'd made a valid point. If Irvin cared so much, why were we getting divorced?Under their scrutinizing gazes, I pushed against Irvin. I didn't want to be so clos
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 64
I instinctively frowned in irritation but forced myself to hold it in. Irvin stared at me for a long moment as if he wanted to say something, but his pride ultimately wouldn't allow it. In the end, he spoke in his usual haughty tone. "Emilia, I'll admit that I was at fault first. If you regret this, we can halt the divorce proceedings anytime. But you'll still need to apologize to Lianne. No matter what, you shouldn't have refused to provide blood when she was in such a critical condition."He thought that I'd been too cruel the previous day. In the face of a life-or-death situation, I not only refused to donate blood but also held everyone up for so long. It was sheer luck that Julianne survived. Otherwise, I might have caused her death.At that time, Irvin had been so furious that he regretted ever knowing me and said he never wished to see me again.But when he saw me today, he couldn't stay mad. He understood that he'd been the one at fault in the first place. If I regretted m

"You know how difficult it has been for Irvin to get to where he is today. Millie, please..." Julianne reached out to grab my arm in an attempt to appeal to me.But as soon as her hand extended toward me, I gave her a cold glare and said, "Julianne, don't forget what I have in my hands. If you say another word or come any closer, I'll ruin you right here and now!"Julianne's face turned even paler in an instant. She wanted to say something but stopped herself when she remembered the video I had. In the end, she didn't dare speak.Since I hadn't yet received the divorce certificate, I didn't want any unnecessary complications. I spoke just loud enough for only Julianne to hear.My parents didn't hear what I said, but when they saw Julianne suddenly blanching and looking like she might collapse from a light breeze, their anger flared even more."Millicent!" they chastised me.Before they could continue, I interrupted, "Mom, Dad, I know you want Irvin to marry Julianne and leave all
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 66
Gideon thought Irvin's behavior was excessively contradictory. It wasn't just him—everyone else in the private room felt the same.If one said Irvin loved me, he constantly belittled me and asked everyone else to look down on me too. But if one said he didn't love me, anyone who dared say something bad about me would face his wrath.Now, as I was divorcing him, he appeared so tormented. It seemed as if he wouldn't stop until he drank himself into a severe gastric hemorrhage.Irvin remained silent. He didn't know what to say and didn't want to talk about the deepest feelings—the ones even he didn't dare confront—buried in his heart.He refused to speak and continued drinking despite their attempts to stop him. Someone was worried he might drink himself to death, so they secretly called Julianne.Of course, she arrived at the scene quickly.Seeing that Irvin was on the verge of collapsing from drinking, she rushed forward and held his arm with a look of concern on her face. "Irvin,

I was feeling extremely frustrated by the whole situation.And somehow, Irvin chose this exact momIn her eyes, Emilia wanting the divorce was perfect.ent to bother me at my home.With Julianne acquitted, I no longer had any bargaining leverage over him. Everything we had discussed was now moot.Unless it was about collecting our divorce certificate, I didn't want to say another word to him.Oblivious to my frustration, he said, "I told you Lianne wouldn't intentionally hurt you! But you refused to believe me!"It was obvious Irvin was especially relieved by the outcome of the investigation. He was glad Julianne hadn't hurt me on purpose. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to face me.I looked at him in exasperation.Just as I was about to ask him to get lost, he spoke again. "I've calculated all the assets under my name, babe. Here's the voluntary asset transfer memorandum. And this is the newly drafted divorce agreement per your request. "I've already signed it, so only your s

Upon seeing the look in Julianne's eyes, I was sure of my suspicions.She definitely did try to set me up all those years ago. She just hadn't anticipated that I would suddenly regain awareness and leave the hotel.Julianne had always been meticulous. As such, the depths of her mind were unfathomable.Right now, she had failed to harm me and ended up harming herself instead. Still, it was possible she had anticipated this current outcome when she schemed to gain control over Phillip.Her goal had been to climb into his bed, and she needed to figure out a way to do so. In the end, Phillip had unknowingly helped her by drugging and seducing her.Regardless of how she achieved her goal, she was going to make herself out to be the victim.And given this, she probably figured she would harm me in the process if she could. Even if she couldn't, she would still walk away from this situation unscathed.I had to admit, Julianne really had thought everything out thoroughly. Every step was

I was deep in thought after learning all this new information. "Who sent the video to Julianne?" I asked. "What was their purpose?"I refused to believe Julianne wasn't the one behind it. "The man who sent the video died in a car accident last year," Mark replied. "Because of that, we have no way to verify if he had edited the surveillance video himself. We also can't determine his purpose behind sending the video to her." This lead turned out to be a dead end.I fell silent again.A short while later, I asked, "What about the other evidence? Like the one where Mr. Sawyer had drugged Julianne? Is it authentic?""It is. We've verified its authenticity," Mark responded.I didn't know what to say.Mark was the best lawyer around—sharp and meticulous. If he had verified the evidence, there was no doubting its legitimacy. Had I really misunderstood Julianne? Was she truly not the culprit?All this time, I thought that she had intentionally conspired with Dad to have me appear
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 130
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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 128
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
