Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 103
Irvin looked more tired than he did this morning. He was still wearing the same suit from the press conference. Yet, instead of looking noble and aloof, he looked worn out and impatient.He tugged on his already fully loosened tie and said, "I believe Mr. Stern has informed you of the current situation outside this place and how serious it is, Emilia.""Yes." My reply was calm and indifferent. He clearly didn't expect me to behave this way at this point."What are you thinking, Emilia?" he blurted. "Do you truly understand the severity of the situation right now? Even if you were to publicly apologize to Lianne now, It's already too late! Do you even understand this!""Yup," I responded with a single word.It made him so furious. He slammed his hand on the table so hard I thought he might break it.I didn't understand why he was angry. "Isn't this what you wanted?" I asked curiously.He was taken aback. "How is this something I wanted?" he quickly retorted."Didn't you tell the

Irvin was an overly proud man. I had also spoiled him too much in the past. Naturally, he was angered when I belittled him.He laughed bitterly. "Yes, your biggest mistake was falling in love with me!" He finally said what he had buried deep in his heart. "You made Lianne suffer when you stole me—her childhood sweetheart—away from her.""You had set up all sorts of chance encounters just so I'd fall for you," Irvin added accusingly. "But I bet you never expected to fall in love with me in the process, right? This is your karma for playing with someone's genuine feelings and treating them like a fool!"I frowned. "Setting up chance encounters? Stealing you from Julianne? Ew! I disinfect my hands when I accidentally touch something of hers. Why would I ever steal her belongings?"My words angered Irvin. His breathing became noticeably heavier."Stop pretending, Emilia," he snapped. "Stop denying it! I know you deliberately made me fall for you back then!" His heart ached when he

Irvin probably thought I would be moved to tears by his affection. But in reality, I was put off by it. I was disgusted by his touch. It felt gross.I yanked my hand back forcefully. "Don't bother. It's unnecessary and it's not going to happen! I don't need your help, Irvin, nor will I ever start over with you! I, Emilia Quill, will never admit to something I didn't do!"I'd rather remain in this detention center than be admitted to a psychiatric hospital for a crime I didn't commit!Irvin thought the arrangements he had made were what was best for me. He had repeatedly made compromises because he loved me. However, upon hearing me reject his kindness yet again, he couldn't contain his anger."Emilia!" he yelled. "Could you stop being so stubborn! Do you really want to end up in prison? With the way things are right now, it's no longer just between you, me, and Lianne! It's pointless for you to keep denying it! You'll only end up destroying yourself if you continue like this!"Tra

I had studied psychology when I was in university. I had learned about bipolar disorder, so I knew a person with bipolar did have intermittent manic episodes. However, manic episodes weren't only triggered by a specific person.Furthermore, if people only behaved manically toward a specific person, it didn't mean they were bipolar. It could just be that they strongly abhorred that specific person and couldn't stand them in the slightest. Thus far, I had only had manic episodes around Julianne. I also couldn't remember what I'd done after each episode had passed. That would only mean that I wasn't the problem. Rather, the problem was… Julianne!"Being mentally ill is nothing to worry about, Emi," Irvin said. "The same goes for making mistakes. Illnesses can be treated. As for mistakes, we just have to recognize them and correct ourselves. Just cooperate with me, okay?"He never wanted me to go to prison. Now, he knew I had likely forgotten that I had done such a thing due to my m

I was afraid. I was worried that I really had drugged Julianne and would be found guilty. I was also fearful of disappointing Mr. Holland once again.I was so, so afraid.Mr. Holland seemed to have sensed my fear. He gently patted my shoulder, then said, "Don't be afraid, Emilia. I've called in some favors for you! I won't let you be wrongfully accused. You'll be out of here in no time!"His comforting words merely intensified my fears. "But, Mr. Holland, what if… what if I really did do it?""Impossible!" he instantly replied. "I've never met anyone who was a better person than you! There's no way you could have done it, so don't worry!"A lot of time had passed since I had lost my memory. Even so, I had never once been worried. In fact, I was even glad it had happened as I didn't remember that scumbag, Irvin. Yet now, I was panicking because I was unable to recall anything."But, Mr. Holland, it really was me in the video. And I can't recall what I was doing at the time, no mat

These big shots were professors in the law departments of top universities. It could be said everyone in the current legal field had once been their student. No, it wasn't just the legal field. It was likely they had also taught people in other law-related professions. Some of their former students were probably elites in their field.Hence, it likely wasn't an exaggeration to say there wasn't a case they couldn't solve."That's right. There's nothing to worry about." The last big shot reassured me. His name was Jesse Pearson. "Tell us everything. You can trust us. We believe you're innocent."I lowered my head as my tears flowed uncontrollably. No one had ever had such faith in me.I had always been the target of suspicion ever since Julianne entered my life. It didn't matter what happened between us. No one had ever believed me.My family and my beloved husband all treated me the same way. They never asked me or gave me the chance to explain myself. They just assumed I was gui

"Please, Emi." Irvin pleaded. "You're mentally ill. The reason you're certain you're innocent is because you can't remember doing it…""I am not mentally ill!" I argued back. "Just because there's a medical record with my name on it that says so doesn't mean it's actually true. Take a step back and look closely at the incidents and evidence in the file. Once you do, you'll see that a lot of things don't add up."Irvin had left the medical record behind. After Mr. Holland and the legal big shots had left, I had taken a closer look. I kept going over the unthinkable incidents in the record and every piece of evidence attached.I started to see holes in the information presented after thinking it through. Perhaps it was because I was much more level-headed.Not only had I never drugged Julianne, but I also probably never did anything that was mentioned in the medical record. Similar to Julianne's drugging case, the evidence attached must have been carefully fabricated. That was why I

Irvin's eyes narrowed. "Why is Mr. Walker here with you, Lianne? Are you two close?"Travis broke into a cold sweat at Irvin's questioning. His body began trembling against his will.But Julianne—being who she was—quickly regained her composure."Irvin…" she cried as she rushed toward him.She had called him in this manner numerous times since they were young. Perhaps it was due to recent events, but before the video came to light, it had never bothered him. However, now, it did.Hearing it made him uncomfortable, let alone holding Julianne, who had thrown herself at him. Still, he didn't avoid her completely because he knew how frail she was. Instead, he sidestepped her and gripped her arm.The look in her eyes changed when she saw him avoiding her.Before she could say anything, Irvin asked again, "Why are you here, Mr. Walker? Are you two close?"Julianne and Travis usually didn't act familiar with each other. Yet, he was in her home. She had even lost her composure in front

Emma was also quite smart. Once she calmed down, she immediately understood what I meant. She wanted to say something, but I had already opened the car door and pushed her out.Seeing several people swimming toward us, I shoved her again, urging her to leave quickly.In the face of life and death, survival would become an instinct for everyone. So even though she didn't wish me harm or want to leave me behind, she swam away with tears in her eyes. Not long after she left, those so-called "rescuers" surrounded me.When they noticed someone had swum away, they exchanged hand signals underwater, planning to send some after her and others to capture me. Realizing this, I quickly pointed at myself, trying to tell them that I was the one they were looking for. Then I turned and swam in the opposite direction, hoping to lure them away and buy her more time to escape. But even though they understood my gesture, they didn't believe me. They still sent people after her.They were very

There was only one road from the airport to the city, and William's car was right behind ours.Matthew, who was driving, immediately sensed something was wrong when he saw our car suddenly accelerating at an alarming speed.He quickly said, "Mr. Ashford, something's wrong with Ms. Quill's car!"William, who was busy reading the documents, immediately looked up. His gaze darkened when he saw how recklessly the car in front was moving."Catch up with them!" he ordered. At that moment, his phone rang. It was Noah calling, and he sounded anxious on the other end. "Uncle Will, are you with Emi right now? I just heard that Madeleine is planning to kill her! "I don't know the exact plan, but I heard they're making a move on the way from the airport to the city. You need to be careful! I'm heading to the airport right now!"Noah's words made William's expression grow even darker. …While Emma was still processing the situation, I noticed something strange about the driver. If the

Just like that, we came back alive from the brink of death in an instant. It felt like we were in hell one moment and in heaven the next.Perhaps I was still too scared. So scared that even after the plane had stabilized for a while, I still couldn't find any strength in my body. I was still shaken by the fear and couldn't fully snap out of it.William was also holding me tightly the entire time, not letting go. The softness of my body in his arms stirred something in him that he couldn't describe. He instinctively didn't want to let go.It wasn't until a flight attendant knocked on the door to check on us that I finally returned to my senses.William also let go of me instantly. The sudden emptiness in his arms left him feeling rather hollow.He came to realize something, and his already deep gaze darkened even more, making it even harder to read.After the flight attendant tidied up the cabin and left, William, who had been perfectly fine and warm just moments ago, suddenly tur

The flight attendant knocked on the entrance to the suite to signal her arrival and served our meal. Then, she left swiftly.William and I were eating and discussing our AI chip factory when his face suddenly turned red. He couldn't say a word.The moment I saw that, I immediately realized what was happening and rushed over to him.I moved behind him, wrapped my arms around his abdomen, and clenched my fists. With my palm facing upward, I tightened my arms and pressed my left fist forcefully into his upper abdomen again and again, until he finally spat out the seed of a fruit.He had accidentally swallowed the seed while eating dried fruit, and it had gotten stuck in his throat.William stared at the seed he'd just coughed up, looking flustered. A man like him, who was so strong and composed, had choked while eating. He couldn't believe it had actually happened.Especially in front of me!William, who was usually composed no matter the circumstances, now had a face flushed wit

William handed me a glass of champagne and said, "I heard Grace gave you a hard time again at the airport lounge."I hummed in response, confirming it. At the mention of Grace, a thought struck me, and I turned to him. "Mr. Ashford, many of your company's products seem to compete directly with the Hardwells'."Although most of my focus had been on research, I did know a little about the business world. After all, I had a company myself. "Yes, why?" William raised an eyebrow at me."If you're planning to enter the mainland market, wouldn't the Hardwells be your biggest competitor?" I asked.Upon hearing that, William's dark eyes lit up with interest. "Are you trying to join forces with me against the Hardwells?"I knew that I couldn't hide my intentions from someone like William, so I answered honestly, "I'm just thinking ahead. I wanted to see if you had similar plans. If so, maybe we could work together in the future."Going against the Hardwells alone was definitely impossi

At the same time, the same video was also delivered to Noah's grandfather, Mr. Hull Senior."This is the woman Noah's interested in? He refused a marriage alliance with Ms. Charter because of her?" Mr. Hull Senior questioned incredulously.His butler, who had been by his side for decades, lowered his head respectfully and answered, "Yes."Mr. Hull Senior scoffed. "What kind of judgment does he have? It's no wonder he doesn't measure up to his uncle."Noah might be excellent, but at his age, William had already built up the Ashfords into the wealthiest family in Redwood. In terms of cunning or any other aspect, he was still far behind William.The loyal butler remained silent as he respectfully stood off to the side."If anyone else was still left in this family, I'd never even consider passing it to Noah!" Mr. Hull Senior exclaimed, pounding his cane hard against the floor.The Hulls had built their fortune from casinos. Their business had shady beginnings, which meant they also

Lowering her head, Grace forcibly suppressed the murderous impulse rising in her chest. When she lifted it back up, her gaze was utterly apologetic."I'm truly sorry, Ms. Quill. My friend really did misunderstand you. Tim actually dropped me off earlier—that was why he was here," she said.Then, she turned to Lisa and said, "There's really nothing going on between Ms. Quill and Tim, Lisa. Tim was just dropping me off earlier. "When I went to the restroom, he happened to run into Ms. Quill. And because she was his brother's ex-wife, they exchanged greetings. That's all it was, so you jumped to the wrong conclusion."Plus, Ms. Quill is the one who cured Tim's legs, so we Hardwells owe her a great debt. She's definitely not a homewrecker! So, if you ever call her that again or anything of the sort, our friendship will be over!"Catching the message in Grace's gaze, Lisa immediately put on a sincere expression and apologized to me. "I'm so sorry, Ms. Quill, for completely misundersta

"Well? Say something!" the woman yelled. "If he wasn't Timothy, and you're not a homewrecker, then who was he? Can't say it, can you? Since you can't, it just proves you're a homewrecker!"You're just a social-climbing snake! You saw that the Hardwells were wealthier, so you used your dead ex-husband's likeness with Timothy as an excuse to try and latch onto them! You're so outrageous and vile!"I had never been insulted or cursed like this in my entire life. But I also didn't know how to fight back. This was yet another trouble Irvin had brought upon me, and the thought of this only made me resent him even more.Hearing the certainty in the woman's tone, the people around us began casting strange glances in my direction. After all, I hadn't said anything to defend myself, either.Just then, Grace walked over, looking regal and elegant."Stop it, Lisa. Ms. Quill isn't a homewrecker. Back then, she was just still in too much grief over the death of her ex-husband and mistook Tim fo

Irvin waited for the little boy to pick up his ball and waddle away.Then, he looked at me and said, "Let me take you to the airport first, Emi. Then, as promised, I won't appear in front of you unless absolutely necessary. We'll leave everything up to time and let it wear down the feelings we're clinging to."Things can change quickly, after all. So, why don't we just set aside what we can't solve right now? And who knows—maybe some time later, we'll both be able to work through these feelings again."I knew someone as stubborn as Irvin wouldn't let go of his fixation on getting back together with me over a simple plea. And since it really was time for me to leave for the airport, I didn't argue with him any further."There's no need for you to take me—my driver is already waiting," I said.With that, I walked past him and got into my car. However, Irvin didn't leave. Instead, he followed behind my car the entire way.The sheer size of the Hardwells' affairs kept Irvin incredibl
