Chapter 271

Mr. Holland couldn't understand Lyle's actions.If it was for money, all Lyle had to do was wait a little longer. The patents for our research project had been applied under our team's name. So, once it went global, everyone in the research team would become rich beyond measure. Thus, Lyle wouldn't be lacking in money.Hypothetically, even if he desperately needed it, I was around. I was obscenely wealthy and considered the lab as my second home. As such, I had always been more than willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in the lab who needed funds.Mr. Holland couldn't make sense of what had happened. Why had Lyle done such a thing? What had pushed him to go to such self-destructive lengths just to destroy me and ruin Mr. Holland?He couldn't come to terms with what Lyle had done. He couldn't accept that a student so close to him had betrayed and slandered him. As a result, he collapsed.I watched over him as he lay in the hospital bed. Mr. Holland looked as though his life h

"Emi, I don't know what you're talking about."I turned my gaze toward him and chuckled. "Shaun, the great Professor Green. To be honest, I've always seen you as a dear friend. You have no idea how grateful I was to meet you that night, to have guided someone as capable and talented as you onto the right path and given Mr. Holland the chance to mentor such an outstanding student like you."As Shaun thought about the past, he parted his lips to say something, but in the end, no words came out."But as much as I was grateful back then, I regret it just as much now, for introducing you to Mr. Holland and giving you the chance to ruin his reputation." I continued to ask, "Shaun, how could you? You know how kind he was to you, how great of a person he was."He dedicated his entire life to research and his students. He wouldn't even treat himself to a decent meal, choosing instead to donate all his money to students in need. And yet, you tarnished his name. How could you?"If he had sla

Shaun said, "You don't have any evidence to prove that you led this research. All the research data was shared, so there was never a situation where Lyle was unaware of things. "Even if you find out who was behind it, it won't matter. No one would believe you were slandered. They'll just think you paid someone to take the blame. At this point, no matter what you do, it's useless."Just as Shaun said, things had reached a point where, unless I could present solid evidence proving that I led the successful research, no one would believe me.Shaun knew me well. He knew the conditions of my research and had planned his scheme perfectly."Emi, it's too late. There's nothing you can do to change things now. I know that I've wronged both you and Mr. Holland, but I had no other choice." If he had any other option, he wouldn't have resorted to this.He continued, "I know the current situation has made things very difficult for Mr. Holland and you, but you don't have to worry about your

I no longer knew what was real and what was fake.I wasn't sure if I just had poor judgment, or if people were just too good at pretending. It felt like I had never truly known Shaun at all. He was nothing like the refined, intelligent, and kind person I had known."Emi, let's go abroad together! Trust me, I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you and Mr. Holland."…When Madam Hardwell returned to Hardwell Manor and heard that her daughter-in-law had fainted, her face darkened instantly. She stormed into Timothy's room.Before Timothy could say a word, she snapped at him harshly. "What's wrong with you? Don't you know Grace is pregnant? How could you make her serve you fruits? She was so exhausted that she fainted! If anything happens to her or the baby, can you bear the consequences?"Her harsh accusations made Timothy frown. He thought that something felt off.As far as he knew, his mother had always adored him. As the matriarch of such a prestigious family, she wa

However, Timothy didn't show any reaction on his face. He casually told Madam Hardwell that he had some work to attend to and asked her to leave.Since she was also worried about her daughter-in-law's health, she didn't linger for long.After she left, Timothy instinctively wanted to call Solomon to investigate his suspicions. But just as he was about to make the call, he suddenly realized that, given his current identity, everyone he knew had been introduced to him by the Hardwells.If he asked someone from the Hardwell family to investigate the Hardwells, not only would he find nothing, but he would also expose his doubts, making them wary of him.He stopped himself from making the call.Right now, his only option was to heal his legs as quickly as possible. Once he could move freely, he would have a real chance to uncover the truth.As he thought about this, he suddenly remembered the summit he had been watching earlier.So, he reopened his laptop, intending to learn more abo

Being abandoned as a child was one thing. But now, he wasn't even allowed to be himself.From now on, he could only live in this world under the identity of Timothy Hardwell.That was really…Margaret couldn't help but feel sorry for him. She wanted to say something, but she didn't dare to let it show and could only leave quickly.…"Emi, I really want to make it up to you and Mr. Holland. The reason I did that was because you hurt us first. I had no choice but to do this so we could be even. Let's go abroad and start anew. We can live just like before, okay?"Shaun genuinely enjoyed spending time with me. We had so many shared topics and similar thoughts.When we were spending time together, he would often forget his original purpose for approaching me.He would instinctively treat me well.When he first heard about my accident, he panicked, forgetting everything else, only wanting to see me as soon as possible and make sure I was alright.When he saw me being wronged, his f

"I've liked Irvin since I entered college, and it wasn't easy for me to get close to him. He began valuing me more and more because of my excellent sales skills. And it wasn't long before we would be together forevermore!"But you—" Gemma pointed accusingly at me, then continued, "You damn saboteur, Emilia! You took Irvin away on the night he had gotten drunk and was going to sleep with me! And because you did, I was sexually assaulted by that balding, pot-bellied client!"That man was a sick bastard! He beat me until my leg was broken because I wouldn't stop struggling. Not only that, he also punched my gut until I bled internally. I've become infertile because of what he did! You ruined my life, Emilia! And now, I've finally destroyed you, you bitch!" In an aggrieved tone, she said, "Do you know how miserable I've been all these years? Do you know how much hard work and effort it took to drag you down? You don't deserve to live, you bitch! You should die for what you've done. You

"Why wouldn't I? I haven't done any of the things you've accused me of. As for you, regardless of what you've suffered in the past, you shouldn't have done what you did. You've caused me a great deal of harm by taking those misleading photos and slandering my name. And in doing so, you've broken the law," I coldly replied.Snapping out of his daze, Shaun begged, "Please don't do this, Emi. Gemma, she—"He had more to say, but I didn't listen. There was no need for me to, so I started to leave.Seeing this, Shaun urgently yelled, "You said I was your savior, Emi! You told me you were grateful to me for saving your life and that you would do whatever I asked of you in the future!"Back then, Shaun had saved me because he genuinely wanted to. And because he also felt guilty for having intentions to harm me, he never expected me to repay him.However, Gemma was being arrested right now. Thus, it was the only thing he could use to try to get me to let his sister go.I glanced back at

Lestoria's police soon efficiently uncovered the truth about the drunken, deal-sealing night Gemma had referred to.She claimed Irvin and her had gotten drunk during a meeting with a client. However, I had left her behind and only took Irvin away, which was what led to the client sexually assaulting her.The truth was—Irvin had already fired Gemma before the incident occurred.Since she couldn't interact with Irvin anymore, she had contacted a prior client and used him to set up a meeting with Irvin. She had intended on getting Irvin drunk during dinner and then having her way with him.However, that client also had sinister intentions toward her. He had invited Irvin out accordingly and kept making him down his drink. At the same time, the client also did the same with Gemma.Irvin had thought the client was trying to get Gemma and himself to sleep with each other. Hence, he excused himself to go to the washroom and then slipped away.He was already slumped against the restauran

I was portrayed as being even more terrifying and powerful.Additionally, my parents had also been interviewed by reporters, and what they said only made things worse.Mom and Henry told the reporters I had behaved shadily since I was little. I had always scored highly on my exams despite not studying much.Additionally, I also didn't have many friends as a child and didn't get along well with others. Despite this, I had always had a good relationship with Mr. Holland, who had also adored me from the start.Although my parents didn't explicitly say it, they were clearly implying that my achievements since I was a child resulted from currying favor from Mr. Holland.A reporter had also asked them about my college results. College entrance exams were administered on a national level. Thus, Mr. Holland couldn't have manipulated my results."She probably got lucky and guessed the right answers!" Henry and Mom said with a scoff.After my parents' interview was released, those who had
