After Losing My Memory, I Divorced the Regretful CEO Chapter 41
Chloe let out a pitiful whimper, tears shimmering in her eyes. "That’s not what I meant. Miss White, you’re misunderstanding me…"But even as she cried, she shot me a subtle, taunting glance.I stared at her, my expression unreadable. "So, when you and Julian schemed to scam me out of my money, what exactly did you mean?"Then, turning to Julian, I spat at his feet. "You make me sick."I was done. I needed to get out of this place.But just as I turned to leave, Julian grabbed my wrist.My voice was cold as ice. "Let go."He didn’t. His whole body was tense. "Eve, what you heard isn’t true. I never planned to steal from you."A sharp, humorless laugh escaped me. "Oh? Then prove it. Pay back every cent with interest."Julian hesitated.He wasn’t willing to part with that much money.I scoffed, yanking my hand free.Suddenly, Chloe shrieked. "Julian! She took everything!"She bolted into the walk-in closet, frantically searching.When she saw the empty jewelry case, the missing watches,

I stared at the crystal bracelets in Julian’s hands, their sudden appearance sending a ripple of unease through me.They looked very familiar.But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t remember why.Still, something deep inside told me they mattered and held a significance I couldn’t quite grasp.Julian must have noticed my confusion because he reached into his pocket and pulled out an old, yellowed photograph.I barely glanced at it before the realization hit me like a lightning strike.It was a family portrait.My breath caught in my throat.The photo showed all of us—my grandmother, my parents, my eldest brother, and me.In the photo, I was around ten years old, wearing a pink dress.My grandmother sat in the center, dressed in a traditional blouse, a gentle smile on her face.She gazed forward, and for a moment, it felt like she was looking straight at me—like she was still there.My mind cracked open.Memories I hadn’t even realized were locked away came rushing back, crashing th

When I was about ten, Grandma passed away. It happened so suddenly. In the hospital, just before she left, she gave me a pair of crystal bracelets. Lying on the hospital bed, she looked at me with reluctance. "Eve, Grandma doesn’t have much to give you. I’ve worn these bracelets since I was young. “When you find someone you love, let these be part of your dowry." I sobbed uncontrollably. Julian pressed me down and said, "Evelyn, don’t go. We’re both fine." I slapped him hard, glaring at him. "We’re not fine! You tore up Grandma’s photo!" My hands trembled as I picked up the torn pieces, tears streaming down my face. The door swung open. Chloe stood there, shocked to see us on the bed. Her expression changed. "Julian, what are you doing?" I seized the chance to snatch back the crystal bracelets from Julian’s hand and bolted for the door. Chloe blocked my way. "You’re not leaving!" Her eyes flicked to the bracelets in my hand, and I caught the greed in her gaze.

"You don’t want it anymore?" The bracelet dangled precariously in Julian’s hand. It felt like an invisible blade was slowly cutting through my heart. I slowly sank to my knees. Chloe sneered from the side. "Wow, so filial." She turned to Julian, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Julian, look at her. Just to divorce you, she’s really—" Julian suddenly snapped at her, his voice thunderous. "What does this have to do with you? Get out!" Chloe flinched. She looked like she wanted to cry but held back when she saw the strange expression on Julian’s face. Her suspicious gaze flickered over me, scrutinizing every inch. But I acted as if I neither saw nor heard anything. Step by step, I crawled out of the room on my knees. The soft wool carpet beneath me cost four thousand per square meter, yet it felt like it was lined with shards of glass. It hurt. It really hurt. But I needed Grandma’s keepsake. I needed something of hers with me. Tears streamed down my face,

I didn’t say a word, just grabbed Dolly’s hand and ran.We dashed onto the street and jumped into the car. My whole body trembled as I clutched the bracelet tightly, unable to speak.Dolly noticed my state, hesitated for a second, then slapped me hard across the face."What happened? Tell me what the hell happened?"I stared at her blankly, then, choking with sobs, showed her the torn-up family photo. "Julian ripped it apart. He smashed one of the bracelets Grandma gave me."Dolly’s expression darkened instantly.For a moment, she stood frozen, then cursed loudly, "That bastard! I’m going to kill him!"Grabbing her golf club, she flung the car door open and stormed back inside.I sat there, listening to the sound of things crashing inside the house. Taking a deep breath, I forced myself to calm down, then picked up Dolly’s phone and made a call.The line connected, and Miles’ voice came through, as gentle as always."Hello, Miss Jones. What’s the matter?"I sniffled. "Miles, it’s me

Miles’ expression grew colder as he listened. Regret gnawed at me. "How could I forget to take Grandma’s keepsake? How could I forget? What was I thinking?" I raised my hand to hit my own head. Miles caught my wrist. "Because you lost your memory, Eve. You only remember things before you turned eighteen. You forgot everything after that." I lowered my head, sobbing. "But I shouldn’t have forgotten. How could I leave something so important with Julian? I regret it so much." His voice remained as gentle as ever. "Don’t be sad, Eve. The bracelet can be repaired, and the photo can be restored." Hope flickered in my eyes. "Really?" He smiled. "Really. Have I ever lied to you?" Tears turned into laughter. "Thank you… thank you, Miles." A servant handed him a warm towel, and he used it to gently wipe my face. The warmth against my skin soothed me, clearing away some of the exhaustion. I whispered a soft "thank you." Then, Miles suddenly pointed at my forehead. "What ha

The next morning, when I woke up, Joseph was already waiting outside my door with a nurse. He glanced at my fresh injuries and sighed. "I should’ve never let you leave. Mr. Wynn scolded me for ages last night." Guilt washed over me. "I didn’t expect to run into Julian. I’m sorry for causing trouble." Joseph shook his head. "Yeah, I’m about to lose my job because of you. You better not run off again." I nodded obediently. Not that I could go anywhere—this incident was still under investigation at the police station, and I needed time to recover. The Wynn estate was huge, with a beautiful garden sprawling across the property. A wall of climbing roses cascaded over the edges, filling the air with their fragrance. I was admiring them when an unwelcome guest arrived, escorted by Kira. I frowned. "Miss Clarke, what are you doing here?" Kira lifted her chin, looking at me with disdain. "She’s my senior. I’m part of the Wynn family. Why wouldn’t I bring her here?" I turned

Anger reignited inside me. I stared coldly at Chloe’s perfectly painted lips as they moved. "What did you just say?" She let out a smug huff. "You’re not the White family’s heiress anymore. They publicly disowned you five years ago." Something in my mind shattered. A searing pain exploded in my skull. I clutched my head, struggling to breathe. Chloe didn’t notice my reaction and kept sneering. "You won’t get a single cent from them. The only person you can rely on now is Julian. So, Miss White, there’s no need to keep resisting."Julian doesn’t love you. He’ll never give you what you want. Not money, not love." The pain in my head was unbearable. I could barely hear what she was saying anymore. All that echoed in my mind was one sentence— “They publicly disowned you five years ago.”Was that true? Why didn’t Dolly tell me? Why didn’t Miles? Tears streamed down my face as I slowly lifted my head. Chloe faltered for a second. I pointed at the estate’s front ga

I let out a breath of relief. "Good. I guess I’ll stop taking baths from now on. Who knew something so relaxing could nearly kill me?"I tried to lighten the mood with a joke, but neither Miles nor Joseph smiled.Forcing a small grin, I added, "Just… don’t tell my brother, okay?"Miles gave a warm smile. "I won’t."Joseph glanced at him, then said, "I’ve checked everything—she’s fine. Just be careful not to catch a cold."Miles walked him out.When he returned to the room, I was already sitting up against the headboard, my expression uneasy.The mattress dipped slightly beside me as Miles sat down. He looked at me gently. "Eve, what’s wrong?"My voice was low. "Miles... I had a dream about Julian."Miles let out a quiet breath. "That’s normal. I was worried it might be something worse."I shook my head, a flicker of panic rising in my eyes. "But I’ve never dreamed about him since the memory loss. And this time… I saw the first time I met him."My hands trembled slightly. "I shouldn’t r

Warm water swirled gently around me, and the weight of exhaustion began to pull me under.Sleep crept in, soft and heavy....“Eve, come on! I heard the campus heartthrob’s here today!”I looked up, my vision blurry.Where was I?Dolly’s face appeared in front of me, lit with excitement. “Hurry! If we’re late, we won’t get a good view. The club’s short on people, so they brought in the heartthrob to help out. Come on, everyone’s rushing over.”I reached out and grabbed her arm. “No, I’m not going.”She gave me a puzzled look. “Why not? That’s Julian Moore! He’s literally the most popular guy on campus. He’s good looking and comes from a wealthy family.”Something caught in my throat. I wanted to speak but couldn’t get the words out.Dolly, getting impatient, tugged at my hand and started dragging me forward.There were people everywhere, too many to count.Eventually, we arrived at the small rehearsal theater.I looked around in confusion. There were crowds all around, but no one I re

But what did she say?Julian’s grip tightened around the charm, his fingers curling into it as pain filled his eyes...."Julian, I know there’s nothing I can do for you… Just keep this charm. They say the priest there is the real deal. You’re not supposed to throw it away once it’s been blessed.""Julian, I don’t care if you ever become rich or powerful. I just want you to be safe."That foolish woman had clutched the charm in her hands, smiling at him with such innocence and blind faith....The knot dug into his palm, sharp enough to hurt. Julian opened his hand, then closed it tightly around it again.Chloe, who had been rambling on, finally noticed something was off.She caught sight of the charm in his hand and scoffed. "What is that? It looks so tacky."She reached over, trying to take a closer look.Julian quickly slipped it into the inside pocket of his suit jacket.Chloe’s eyes narrowed. "Did she give you that?"He started the car, his voice flat. "No. I got it myself. Some p

Julian looked at me, confused.I took a deep breath. "Julian, stop. I know why you're apologizing. You're doing this for Chloe’s child, right? You just don’t want things to get ugly."He lowered his head, then gave a small nod. "Yes, that’s part of it... but I really…"I cut him off quickly. "Don’t. Goodbye, Mr. Moore."Without looking back, I turned and got into the car.Miles noticed something was off the moment he saw my face. "What did he say?"I steadied myself. "He wants to settle everything privately. He doesn’t want it to go to court."Miles glanced toward Julian’s lonely figure in the distance, his eyes flickering."You okay?" he asked.I shook my head. "I’m fine."He paused, then handed me a tissue. "If it hurts, just cry."I looked at him, my eyes dry. "I can’t cry. But why do I still feel so awful?"His gaze softened. "Julian's pulling all this to protect his pride because of Chloe’s child, isn’t he?"I drew in a shaky breath. "Yeah. He apologized, but in the end, it’s still

Julian's expression darkened as he stared at me. "Evelyn, I thought you said you loved me? And yet here you are with Miles already—what, were you two sneaking around while we were together?"Without thinking, I slapped him.He grabbed my wrist, sneering coldly. "Did I strike a nerve?"I laughed in anger. "I shouldn’t have let Miles in the car earlier. If I hadn’t, the one slapping you right now would’ve been him."Julian let go of my hand and said coolly, "Enough nonsense. Evelyn, dragging this to court would just be a spectacle. After five years of marriage, I don’t want things to end like this."Was he trying to reconcile?I forced down my fury and asked, "What do you have in mind?"Julian hesitated, his gaze complicated. "I’ll return everything that belongs to you... just give me some time."I was stunned.I hadn’t expected Julian, who always seemed so tough, to willingly give up fighting and hand over what I deserved.I went quiet. "Alright. How much time do you need?"Julian tugged

Julian blurted out, “What?!”Then, snapping out of his shock, his face twisted with fury. “Miles Wynn, what the hell do you mean by that?!”Miles smiled, calm and unbothered. “Nothing more than the truth.”Julian’s voice rose, livid. “Truth? This is nothing but one of your dirty tricks!”Miles raised a brow, pretending to be confused. “Dirty? Hmm. I’d actually call it a fresh idea.”Julian’s already dark expression grew stormier.Chloe stood beside him, jaw clenched, eyes locked on us with thinly veiled rage. Suddenly, she cut in sharply, “But wasn’t it Miss White who transferred the 1.2 million to Elmwood?”Dolly stepped forward without missing a beat. “That money was loaned to Eve by me. Got a problem with that?”That shut them both up.I felt a wave of satisfaction rise in my chest. But I also knew Julian wasn’t going to let this slide so easily.Sure enough, he turned to me, eyes cold. “Eve, this is going to court anyway. You can spin the story however you want. We’ll see what the

The moment I saw that elegant, refined face, so striking it felt almost divine, every bit of the frustration I’d buried surged to the surface.Without a second thought, I rushed into his arms. “Miles!”Warmth enveloped me, and the familiar clean scent of pine wrapped around my senses. My eyes stung instantly.Miles lowered his head, chuckling softly. “What’s wrong? You look like a little bunny with those red eyes.”Feeling embarrassed, I gave his chest a light smack. “Why are you here?”He studied my face carefully, then gently brushed his fingers across my cheek. “I heard someone was picking on my darling, so I came running.”That warmth spread through my chest, overflowing, making it hard to hold back tears.He leaned down, his voice low in my ear. “Don’t cry, silly girl.”Then he straightened and looked around the room.His gaze passed over Sarah and Dolly, finally landing on Julian.Julian instinctively straightened his back.He stepped forward, voice laced with sarcasm. “What brin

I turned to Sarah with an apologetic expression. “I’m sorry, Miss Care. It seems I’m not in a position to work with your company until I sort out my personal matters.”Sarah shook her head regretfully. “Please don’t apologize. Our company is moving forward with expansion this year. We’ve already allocated the available investment slots. If you decide not to invest… we’ll have to open the opportunity to others.”She gave me a sympathetic look. “I’m sorry, Miss White. But once this window closes, there will be no further opportunity.”I offered a bitter smile and nodded. “I understand.”Dolly was so angry, she could barely hold back a choked sob. “That shameless bastard… absolutely shameless!”I squeezed her hand, silently telling her it was time to go.Julian stepped in front of us, blocking the way. His expression was conflicted, and when he spoke, his voice was softer than I’d ever heard it.“Eve, maybe we can talk this through.”“Julian, you… you’re still not done?” Chloe’s voice r

The moment I heard those words, a rush of blood surged to my head.My ears rang, and that all-too-familiar wave of dizziness came crashing back.I barely registered Dolly's voice rising in fury. “Julian Moore, do you have no shame? You really dare say that was marital property?! Eve paid for it herself! You… you're absolutely disgusting!”I could barely stay on my feet, the world tilting around me.“Dolly… I…” I whispered weakly.She quickly caught me and helped me sit down.I took a few deep breaths to steady myself, then looked up at Julian. And for a split second, though maybe it was the dizziness playing tricks on me, I thought I saw a flicker of concern flash through his eyes.Sarah noticed something was off and immediately stepped in. “Miss White, don’t worry. We can take this slowly.”I fought to calm my pounding heart and spoke, voice steady but cold. “What exactly is it that you want, Mr. Moore?”Julian hesitated for a moment, but soon the polished businessman returned to his
