Chapter 141

Fear was written all over Irvin's face.It seemed he couldn't bear to think about what would have happened if he hadn't shown up in time and helped me."Emi, I know you're kind-hearted, so I understand that you can't just stand by and watch when someone's life is in danger. But…" He trailed off again.I looked at Irvin, amused by him saying he knew how kind-hearted I was. The irony wasn't lost on me, and I couldn't hold back my laughter.This was the same man who had called me vicious and malicious. And now, he was calling me kind-hearted?Irvin was stumped by the sight of me laughing. However, he seemed to have realized something and quickly returned to his senses."I'm sorry, Emi. I…" He trailed off yet again.He wasn't good at apologizing, so he didn't know what to say. He also felt his apology would be pointless. The more he thought about it, the more foolish he felt.I was someone who was willing to risk my life to save a complete stranger. Thus, he shouldn't have called m

After leaving the surgical ward, I had to walk past the general ward on my way out.An idea suddenly came to mind just as I did. So, instead of leaving the hospital, I headed to Julianne's room.Irvin had been injured. Because of this, he had been preoccupied with getting examined and treated. He was also worried that I would think there was something going on between him and Julianne.Despite all this, he had still thoughtfully arranged for Julianne to stay in a luxurious VIP room.None of my family members had come to visit me when I woke up after falling off the cliff. When I was discharged from the ICU ward, I had been placed in a noisy eight-person room.Comparatively, her single occupancy VIP room was so much more comfortable. So much so that it didn't even feel like one was staying in a hospital.I knocked on her door.Julianne thought Irvin had come to check on her. She happily opened the door and was about to call his name coquettishly.Her smile instantly vanished whe

Without giving Julianne a chance to respond, I said, "Also, once you get home, make sure to tally up everything Irvin has ever given you. I'll be sending people to collect them very soon."I added, "If you don't return them, I'll sue you and request a court order to force you to comply."In the past, Irvin would always give her valuable gifts while I only received freebies. Seeing this, my past self would cry.So now, I decided to reclaim all of her gifts.The money that Irvin gave to her to spend was mine. Plus, the money she had spent in the past was from my and Irvin's joint account. Thus, it was also mine.My husband had cheated on me. He also bought expensive gifts for his mistress with my money. Since this was the case, I—the wife—had the right to reclaim these items as they belonged to me.Julianne's eyes widened in shock.She hadn't recovered from the shock of Irvin transferring all his assets to me. And now, I told her I was going to reclaim everything she had been give

Irvin called me before I even made it home."Is this really necessary, Emi?" he asked.He might not have been direct, but I knew what he was referring to. Julianne had surely run as fast as she could and complained to him about what I had said.He was calling me because he wanted to back up his dearest "sister" and stepmother.I huffed disdainfully. "Why wouldn't it be?"Irvin sighed wearily. "Regardless, Emi, she—""Don't tell me that she's still my sister. You may consider her as such, but I don't!"I absolutely hated hearing people tell me Julianne was my sister, no matter what. It was as though I couldn't hold her accountable for anything she did just because of that."You know the drugging incident fiasco happened because of a misunderstanding, Emi. Can't you please let it go?""No, I don't believe that. In fact, I think it was all a scheme to set me up! I'm going to keep digging into it, and you can't stop me! If you can accept this, great. But if you can't, feel free to

"However, from now on, I will no longer recognize Henry Quill as my father," I said. "Apart from offering support that he needs when he gets older, I will no longer have any contact with him. I also ask that he never reach out to me ever again."I continued, "Simply put, our father-daughter relationship ends here!"He had given me life, and now I was going to help him get his life and freedom back. So we're considered even.Mom and Jeremy were stunned by my words. They were in a daze as they never expected me to say something like this.After all, I had always longed for a family and desired love.There once was a time when I would've sacrificed my life for them if they showed me even the slightest bit of kindness. But now, I was severing ties with them.Snapping back to reality, Mom began chastising me. "Are you out of your mind, Millicent?"She and Julianne truly were like mother and daughter, despite Julianne being adopted. Mom had said the same thing she did.I chuckled hum

Irvin would usually catch Julianne and embrace her fully.It looked as though he was going to catch her as usual, but then he seemed to reconsider it. Instead, he quickly side-stepped her and simply reached out, grabbing her arm to steady her.Julianne was already in a bad mood. When she saw how unwilling Irvin was to embrace her, her expression became thunderous.I couldn't help smirking at the sight of Irvin avoiding her.See, as a married man, he knew he shouldn't behave intimately with any woman other than his wife. He knew that doing so was wrong.Yet in the past, he would casually hug Julianne and even allow her to cling to his arm. They would behave so intimately with each other.When I had called him out on it, he had the nerve to say I was reading too much into it because I had already made up my mind about their relationship.After reading the contents of my journal, I was glad I had lost all memory of him. If I hadn't, I would still be living in a constant state of se

Irvin had always supported Julianne financially all these years. It didn't matter if he was struggling to make ends meet. He would always find a way to give her the money she needed.When he eventually became rich, he continued to do so. He would also give her anything she wanted.Hence, Julianne truly never expected Irvin to say what he had said. Not only did he not reprimand me, but he even sided with me. She definitely never thought he would do so, especially when I was upsetting her. It angered her so much that her vision blurred, and she nearly fainted. And this time, she wasn't pretending.In the past, Irvin would be frantic from worry whenever she was in any discomfort. But now, he wasn't even the least bit concerned about her.Julianne was so upset by this that she began crying genuine tears."Irvin." She looked at him and sobbed. "You promised to treat me well for as long as you lived…"She was swaying on her feet. She looked as though she was about to collapse.I h

Irvin managed to save her right at the critical moment. He had used his body and blocked her from hitting the wall. In that instant, he looked immensely relieved. He was probably thanking all the gods in existence for helping him to save her.I believed Irvin when he claimed he didn't love Julianne romantically. I also believed that he truly thought he didn't and that I was the one he loved. Otherwise, he wouldn't have transferred his entire fortune to me.That being said, I also felt he wasn't fully aware of his own feelings. He hadn't yet realized that the person he truly loved was Julianne. Otherwise, he wouldn't have behaved the way he just did.Irvin was about to exhale in relief when he saw that Julianne was fine. But then, he met my contemptuous gaze.His heart seemed to shrivel, and his immediate reaction was to push Julianne away. However, Julianne closed her eyes and fainted in his arms.I thought he was going to pick her up in a panic and rush her to the hospital. It

I couldn't shake Irvin off at all, not even when I arrived at Mr. Holland's house.The smile on his face faded when he saw Irvin following me."What's going on? Why has Irvin followed you here?" he asked. "Don't tell me you've gone back to being a lovesick fool again?"I had been completely head over heels in love in the past. Thus, it didn't matter how emotionally detached or anti-love I acted now. He was still worried I would be bitten by the lovesick bug again.I flashed Mr. Holland a small smile. "No, I haven't. Don't worry, I'll be severing all ties with him soon."I wasn't sure if Irvin's change in behavior was out of guilt or love. But it seemed he had made up his mind to stop treating Julianne the way he used to. He might be intent on this, but I knew what Julianne was capable of.She wouldn't allow him to stick to his decision for long, nor would she allow him to create distance between them—especially with me antagonizing her like this. She would undoubtedly retaliate s

Irvin had just tucked in a sleeping Julianne. He was preparing to leave when I arrived.He came face to face with me when he turned around. Different emotions flashed so quickly across his face that I couldn't describe them. I smiled patronizingly at him. "Let's talk elsewhere. We shouldn't disturb your beloved Julianne's sleep."With that, I turned and walked away.Irvin's expression was so ugly when he heard what I said. But I didn't care.He wanted me to stop bringing up his relationship with Julianne. But at the same time, he was also afraid I would. This was because if I no longer cared about their relationship, it also meant I no longer cared about him.Irvin looked at me once we were outside. He then took the lead and spoke first."I really had urgent work matters to attend to. That's why I didn't wait outside Mr. Holland's house for you," he began explaining. "I only came to see Lianne once I had handled it."Then, he tried to justify his actions. "And the reason I cam
