Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 91
In that moment, when Irvin was at his lowest, I forgot everything else. I forgot the doubts, the pain, the fear of being tied to someone connected to Julianne. All I could see was a broken man who needed me. So I promised him. I promised I would never leave him. I promised I would love him forever. For a time, he was everything to me. He treated me so well, day after day, that my love for him grew until it consumed me. I couldn't imagine life without him. I was willing to do anything for him. And then, just when I thought we had finally found our happiness, Julianne came back. The man who once made me feel like I was his entire world changed overnight. The Irvin who once put me above everyone else now couldn't stop putting Julianne first. For her, he began to hurt me—over and over again. I didn't understand. How could someone so full of love suddenly become so indifferent? How could someone who once made me feel like I was his one and only suddenly stop loving m
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 92
This was insane. Everything between Irvin and me had flipped completely. Before, Irvin had been the classic jerk—the guy who made it big, got rich, and turned into a complete sleazebag. He treated Julianne—his so-called "true love" from childhood—like she was the center of his universe while tossing me, his wife who stuck by him through the hard times, aside like trash. I was the poor woman who had given up everything to help him build his empire, only to be cast aside when the good times rolled in. And now? Now, he was suddenly the devoted husband who "loved me unconditionally" and protected me no matter what. Even if I'd supposedly ruined Julianne's life—his childhood best friend, his savior—he still chose to shield me. The same man who once humiliated me for Julianne's sake was now begging me not to go to jail, insisting that all I needed to do was apologize. The irony of it all was almost too much. Was this what he meant when he claimed he had always been le

"Do you really want to go to prison?" I stared straight at Irvin and replied, enunciating every word, "It's not that I want to go to prison. It's that I didn't do it. I trust the law to give me the fairest judgment." Irvin let out a bitter laugh, shaking his head in disbelief. "Emilia, you're unbelievable. The evidence is crystal clear in front of you, and you're still denying it!" I gave him a cold smile. "Have you ever considered the possibility that I didn't do it?" "You didn't do it?" His voice was sharp, his disbelief palpable. "Then what exactly are you doing in that video? Are you seriously going to stand here and tell me that's not you?" "The person in the video is me," I admitted, my tone calm. "But even if it's me, even if I'm shown putting something in that drink, how can you be so sure it was that drug? How do you know Julianne drank the glass I supposedly tampered with?" I stepped closer, my voice cutting through the tension. "I didn't hand the drink dire
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 94
Even Irvin, who just moments ago insisted that all I needed to do was apologize, couldn't hold his stance anymore. He looked at me, his expression colder than before. "Emilia, this is your last chance. If you still refuse to admit what you did, then go to prison." If I continued to deny everything, he would have no choice but to let me face the consequences. He couldn't keep letting Julianne suffer. She had been only 19—so young, with her whole life ahead of her—when Phillip assaulted her. Her youth, her future, everything was destroyed. She had been carrying that burden for years, and Irvin couldn't let her endure it any longer. He couldn't let her, the victim, continue to be mocked, ridiculed, and accused of being a gold digger who had slept with an older man for money. No matter how much he loved me, he couldn't let Julianne suffer like that. If I knew what he was thinking at that moment, I would've felt nothing but disgust. This so-called "love" he claimed to h
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 95
For the first time, I saw something I hadn't expected in Mom's eyes—hesitation. It wasn't much, just a flicker of reluctance. It was as if, for a fleeting moment, she remembered that I was the daughter she carried for nine months. Jeremy's expression was more complex. There was a hint of unease, but it was overshadowed by relief. With me in jail, even for the shortest possible sentence, my life would never recover. I would no longer be a threat to his place in the family or his carefully curated reputation. And just like that, my own parents, my brother, and my husband of eight years sent me off to a holding cell. I didn't know if it was by coincidence or deliberate arrangement, but they placed me in a shared cell. The other women inside looked rough, the kind of people you wouldn't want to cross. Already shaken, I felt a wave of unease creep over me. I had anticipated that fighting back against Julianne would make my family and Irvin furious, that they'd try to ma
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 96
The next morning, someone came to see me. I thought it would be my lawyer, Mr. Stern, coming to work on my release. But no—it was Irvin. He looked like he hadn't slept a single minute. His usually sharp, magnetic eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed more disheveled and drained than I felt after spending a long, sleepless night in a holding cell. When his gaze landed on my pale face, there was a flicker of something in his expression—regret, perhaps? Before I could say anything, he spoke. "I hope you've had time to cool off," he said, his tone measured. "It's not too late to do the right thing. Apologize now, and we can end this." Hearing those words made me think back to the last time he'd cornered me like this, saying, "It's been three months, and you still haven't learned and reflected on yourself?" It was almost funny. In his mind, he wasn't punishing me—he was indulging me. Giving me chance after chance to "correct my mistakes" to be "grateful" for his supp
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 97
Irvin fell silent. He didn't deny it. Other than that incident, I had never done anything wrong. Nothing immoral, nothing illegal. "Eight years," I said, my voice firm. "We've known each other for eight years. Loved each other for seven. And yet, you never once trusted me. Someone shows you a video, and instead of investigating, you just believe it. You accept that I'm capable of something so disgusting. If someone like you claims to love me, am I not supposed to feel disgusted?"From the way his attitude toward me shifted after Julianne showed him the video, it was clear he hadn't bothered to dig deeper. He just accepted it as the truth. Irvin tugged at his tie, his frustration showing. "Emilia, you can't keep blaming others when things go wrong. It's not just about trust—it's about the choices you've made. Sure, you've never done anything immoral or illegal before. You're a good person, kind to everyone. But that doesn't mean you'd treat Julianne the same way. It doesn't me
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 98
Irvin seemed genuinely baffled, almost annoyed, by my sudden push for him to be with Julianne. His frustration spilled over as he snapped, "Emilia, how many times do I have to tell you? There's nothing between Julianne and me. There's never been anything like that, and there never will be. Why do you keep dragging me into this nonsense with her?" I almost laughed at his words. I wanted to tell him it was because he was in love with her. Truly, deeply, stupidly in love. So much so that he didn't even care about her history, wasn't that what true love was all about? It was just like how Mom thought—if celebrities could marry their ex's parent, why couldn't Irvin?If Irvin really wanted to clear Julianne's name, he'd stop pretending and just marry her. That would do far more for her reputation than forcing me to publicly take the fall for something I didn't do. But I didn't bother saying any of that. Irvin wouldn't admit it. He refused to acknowledge what was obvious to

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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 126
"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
