Semua Bab Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!: Bab 291 - Bab 299

My gaze turned cold.I had always treated others with respect. But if they kept being disrespectful toward me, I would stop minding my manners."Madam Hardwell, if you're so worried about me treating your son, I can always opt not to," I said coolly.Agatha's eyes widened in disbelief. Clearly, she hadn't expected me to say such a thing."Do you even know what you're saying?" she asked sharply."Madam Hardwell, I can choose not to treat him if you don't trust me to," I repeated plainly.Agatha's expression turned stormy in an instant, but I wasn't afraid. No matter how powerful and influential the Hardwells were, we lived in a society governed by laws.Grace also frowned. She wanted to get me out of the country so I would never appear in front of Timothy again. However, when she learned I had to adjust the treatment according to how his condition developed, she had to put that plan on hold. Her plan now was to wait until Timothy's legs had healed before she drove me away.S

Timothy and Irvin were clearly identical twins, so Magnus didn't understand why Agatha favored Timothy so much—to the point where she had cast Irvin aside without a second thought.Now, with Timothy gone, she still insisted on leaving everything to his unborn child. She expected Irvin to devote himself to the family without getting anything in return. Her treatment of him was more like that of a grudge-holder than a mother."I'm biased? You're the biased one!" Agatha snapped. "Tim treated you so well and listened to your every word. He also always thought of you first, no matter what! She continued, "He hasn't even been gone that long, yet you've already forgotten him. You want to give everything that belongs to him to someone else! How can you be so heartless, Magnus Hardwell!"Magnus' headache worsened.It wasn't that he was heartless. Regardless, their Timothy was gone, so Magnus had to think about the company's future once he had gotten over his grief!Besides, there was no

Irvin had once loved me with fiery intensity. However, he had also hurt me with his cold indifference.He had also nearly killed me on several occasions. That being said, he had also risked his life to save me just as many times.Before I regained my memories of him, all I could remember was the pain he had caused. Back then, the only thing I felt for him was hatred.After my memories returned, I remembered all his past affections and how he had been my salvation. But I could no longer love Irvin wholeheartedly. And yet, I couldn't go back to hating him entirely, either.I didn't know what to do.Right now, our love suddenly seemed so unimportant when Irvin was in a life-and-death situation.I should just focus on treating his legs. And once they were fully healed, we would consider things between us settled. Then, he would live an endlessly wonderful life while I spent mine exploring vast opportunities.We might not keep our marital vows of being together and living happily eve

"And why not?" I asked.The Hardwells' staff had witnessed Timothy meeting his demise when he had saved Irvin—William had told me so."Judging from how shocked you were when you first saw me, you probably weren't aware I had an older twin brother. That means you also likely didn't know that he was a Hardwell," Irvin started to explain."You're my closest and most important person, so the fact that you didn't know about Timothy's existence means I definitely didn't know about him either. This also means Timothy and I had never met."Plus, humans are inherently selfish. Do you genuinely believe the real Timothy would sacrifice his life for a twin he had never met—especially when he was raised by the Hardwell family, who are known for their elitist and cold-hearted values?" he pointed out.In the time Irvin had spent in Hardwell Manor, he had gained some understanding of the family who lived there. Based on what he had learned about these people, it was impossible they would raise so

"Since you've figured out who I am, you also know I am the true heir of the Sawyer family. So, both of the companies you own belong to me! You better transfer their shares to me while I'm still asking nicely!" Amara demandedShe might have grown up spoilt in the Hardwell family, but the Hardwells favored sons over daughters. As such, she wouldn't receive any inheritance even if she had been born as a legitimate Hardwell, let alone as one who had been birth-swapped.When Amara learned she had been swapped with a boy named Irvin Sawyer at birth, she had immediately looked into him. And when her investigation revealed the Sawyers were a decently wealthy family, she had rushed over to me.She felt she would have been the sole heir of the Sawyer family if she hadn't been switched with Irvin when they were born. That was also why Amara believed she had a right to my companies.I couldn't help but think she was slightly deranged."Maybe you should check again, Ms. Hardwell. My companies
