Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 67
Irvin's face had already flushed from drinking in the first place. His cheeks became an alarming red after Julianne splashed the diffuser on him.When she lunged toward him, he instinctively reached out and held her. Every cell in his body burned with heat. They screamed at him to tear off the clothes of the woman in his arms without hesitation.Just as his hands instinctively began to yield to his primal urge, a scent entered his nose. It caused him to gain some clarity at that heated moment.This scent wasn't mine!In the next second, he instinctively pushed away Julianne and threw her off the bed. He wouldn't touch any woman who wasn't me. He knew that I demanded absolute loyalty in a relationship. If he sullied himself, I would never want him again.Even in his muddled state, Irvin knew what I cared about and where my boundaries lay. When he was sober, he knew this all the more. He had always known, yet he took my love for granted and recklessly tested the limits of my boundar
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 68
Picking up something one had given up for so long—especially studying—wasn't as easy as simply deciding to do it. To show genuine sincerity and build up my confidence before approaching Mr. Holland, I began an intense study routine after seeing Cordelia off.Since some specialized books were rare and unavailable online, I often spent my time at the city library. I stayed there to study until it closed.After leaving the library, I would cross the street. On the opposite side was a ravioli restaurant. This restaurant had been around for over ten years. The owners, a husband and wife, made fresh ravioli daily. The food there was incredibly delicious. When I was still a student, I loved coming here after visiting the library, especially on cold winter nights.After consuming a plate of steaming hot ravioli, one would feel that life was complete.While waiting at the crosswalk for the light to turn green for pedestrians, my phone started ringing. Just as I reached into my pocket to g

The crying eventually attracted a patrolling police officer. After assessing the situation, the officer sternly reprimanded the two teenagers. He warned them never to play around on the road, especially at crossroads because it was far too dangerous.The two teenagers nodded repeatedly as they were scolded, cowering in guilt.Although it had been a very precarious situation, I didn't exactly get hurt. So, it was deemed an accident. Since the two teenagers were still minors, the matter was considered resolved after the police officer's lecture.…My nerves and emotions finally settled when I arrived at the ravioli restaurant and ate a huge plate of steaming hot ravioli. Thinking about how I had nearly missed out on this comforting meal, I couldn't help but sigh. I felt I should make time to attend church and pray soon. This year had been unbelievably unlucky for me. My misfortune had nearly cost me my life on multiple occasions.From falling off a cliff and barely surviving on ja

I was speechless.Cordelia went on, "That scumbag kept swearing that nothing was going on between him and Julianne. But before you've even gotten the divorce certificate, he's already rushing to get a hotel room with her. How shameless of him! "Since you two aren't officially divorced yet, doesn't this count as being in an extramarital affair? Fight for it and leave him with nothing to his name after you divorce him!"I chuckled after hearing Cordelia's rant. I could understand why she was so fired up about seeing the news of Irvin and Julianne going to a hotel. However, forcing him to leave with nothing to his name was nearly impossible, so I didn't bother entertaining the thought.After hearing that it would be difficult to strip Irvin of his assets, Cordelia snorted in disdain. We chatted about a few other things before ending the call.The moment we hung up, I leaned against the headboard and opened a news site. I cocked an eyebrow upon seeing the headlines plastered with sto
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 71
To Irvin's horror, I truly seemed to not care about this at all.I used to feel so hurt and agonized whenever I saw him get a little closer to Julianne.How could I be like this now? How could I treat him this way and not care?Just as I was about to tell Irvin to leave if he had nothing else to say, a thought crossed my mind.I said, "I saw online news claiming that you cheated during our marriage. It's probably a move by your competitors. You should handle the PR immediately, or the damage could be severe."While I was glad he and Julianne were together, I didn't want to suffer financial losses because of their affair. Irvin was a married man. So, his being caught publicly with another woman in a hotel could cause the company's stock to plummet. Tens of billions of dollars could easily vanish with a poof just like that.Tens of billions!Scientific research required a lot of funds, so I needed to safeguard the assets I was entitled to.After thinking for a moment, I added,

And then there was that last time when I'd told Irvin that I'd truly forgotten some things.That moment felt like a glimmer of hope to him. He took a large step forward and firmly grasped my shoulders again. "Emi, you lost your memory, didn't you?"Irvin gathered that I must have lost my memory. That was why I'd forgotten him, my husband whom I'd loved the most. That would explain why I was so determined to divorce him. That was why I didn't care about him and Julianne getting a room together—the only thing I was concerned with was clearing his name.I frowned, unsure why he was suddenly asking this question. He'd previously refused to believe me when I said I had amnesia. But then, he now seemed to desperately hope I would confirm it.I didn't want to know either. I only wanted our divorce proceedings to go as smoothly as possible.So, I said to him, "I didn't lose my memory. I just wanted to cause a scene to see if you'd care about me more previously. The answer I got was that y
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 73
But why would Irvin not want to get involved with Julianne?He adored her so much and showered her with unbridled affection. He'd chosen her over me every single time, and he was even willing to sacrifice my life for hers. He gave her everything and did things only lovers would do for her.If that didn't count as love or a desire to be together, then what did?As I struggled to make sense of it all, I received a report from an investigation agency abroad. It detailed Julianne's colorful life over the years.When I saw what she'd done in the earlier years, my eyes widened in shock. What came into view was simply too outrageous!After reading the report, I finally understood why Irvin could pamper and love Julianne so much yet refuse to touch her. Why, despite everyone wishing them well, he could never truly be with her.It also explained why Julianne would forever be Irvin's unattainable first love. This was the textbook definition of being deeply in love with someone but unable t

Travis felt sorry for Julianne as he watched her lose her composure. Unable to hold back, he stepped forward to comfort her. "Ms. Lianne, please be careful not to hurt yourself. If it didn't work out this time, there will be another chance."It would have been better if he hadn't said that. Because the moment he did, Julianne's rage surged even more.She spat, "Another chance? Do you really think I'll ever have another chance? Do you?"Since he was a chid, Irvin had been the type of person who never allowed himself to make the same mistake twice. She knew she'd never again have the opportunity to take advantage of his drunken state to force something to happen between them.Without crossing that line and without something tangible happening between them, how could she ever take their relationship to the next level?Even though he treated her exceptionally well by spoiling and indulging her, Julianne knew that wasn't enough. Even after she'd made such a mess with her impulsive plan

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

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
