Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 137
I was currently treating Louis to a meal when I met someone unexpected.I was seated at a table in a private room for him. When the door was opened, Gideon Stone walked in. He was like a brother to Irvin and one of his closest friends.Before I could speak, Louis said, "Emilia, allow me to introduce you to Gideon Stone. He's one of my former students and has returned to inherit his family business. It was thanks to him that your case was resolved so quickly." Gideon's family owned a chain of pharmacies. It could be said there was one on the corner of every street in Claudevile.In fact, there was a branch across from the hotel where the drugging incident had taken place.It just so happened that the branch had been celebrating its anniversary the day the incident occurred. Because of this, they happened to be holding an event at the time of the incident.As such, the store had captured the moment I left the hotel. This was how they were able to uncover the truth so swiftly."Gi

Julianne remained in her car. She watched as I slid down the slope and attempted to save the people in the car.When she saw how dire the situation was, her eyes narrowed with glee. A cruel gleam flashed through her gaze as she began imagining how the current situation would play out.It was a cold winter night, and I was trying to save the people in the wreckage. However, I wasn't able to because I lacked the strength. Not only that, if the car exploded, I would perish as well.To her, it would be the perfect, most seamless accidental death in the world! Julianne wanted me dead very badly. Hence, her first thought upon seeing such a situation was to imagine how I would die. She was happy because she wouldn't have to get involved.Not only that, but she also thought about how it wouldn't matter if she couldn't be with Irvin once I was dead. With me gone, she would be the only and most important woman in his heart.With a cruel smile, she opened her car door and got out.The fir

I pulled the child out of the car. Picking him up, I was about to move away from the wreckage.Irvin had just placed the pregnant woman on the ground. When I turned, I saw him running toward me, his eyes burning with pure rage.Before I could react, he lunged toward us. We rolled away from the car wrapped in his arms and came to a stop facing away from it. Irvin was shielding us with his broad frame.Then, there was a deafening bang. The car had exploded! It was immediately engulfed in flames.The sound of the explosion and the raging fire triggered a flood of memories in my mind.I flashed back to the beginning of my sophomore year. I was working on an experiment in the university lab when one of the juniors mishandled a substance. This caused an explosion, which created a huge fire.The explosion had knocked over a cabinet, which fell on top of me. Trapped underneath it, I was unable to move. I could only watch as the flames crept closer. I thought I was going to be burned aliv

My past self had always hoped Irvin would choose her for once whenever a situation like this occurred. She had hoped he wouldn't choose Julianne again, who would obviously pretend to faint.However, the current me desperately hoped otherwise. I prayed his heart would break for her just like it always did in the past whenever she fainted. I hoped he would drop everything else, rush over, and sweep her away.That way, I could finally divorce him!Irvin had saved me once before. And he had done it again just now. But no matter what, the harm he had caused me couldn't be wiped clean.I felt conflicted because he had saved me. However, it doesn't change my desire to divorce him.Besides, my past self had also saved him many times before. In fact, if we were keeping score, I had saved him more times than he had. So I didn't owe him a thing.Thus, I prayed he would choose Julianne. This way, our marriage would come to a quick and clean end.However, just like always, he dashed my hop
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! 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

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

Irvin stared at me, feeling lost. He didn't know how to answer my question—and I wasn't alone in my feelings.Sometimes, his memories and emotions would resurface in the middle of the night, and he would jolt awake. And when this happened, he also couldn't help but ask himself the same thing. How could he have done all those things to me?Irvin wanted to understand it himself too. Were his actions born out of habit?Because of all the misunderstandings and hatred between us, he wanted me to suffer as much as he did. So, Irvin had gotten used to abusing me emotionally and hurting me. He had also gotten used to treating me as unimportant.And then, it had eventually become a habit for him."I always felt Julianne was the one you truly loved," I said. "You always had an excuse for her actions, regardless of what she did. I continued, "Plus, you always pampered her, always softened toward her, and always wanted to help her. You never once doubted her, and you still accepted her, eve
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 358
If only…If only Irvin had hurt me a little less. Then, I would've forgiven him and gotten back together with him without hesitation. That was how much I loved him and how much I desired to grow old with him.However, time and time again, he had deeply stabbed me in the heart. So, despite my desire to love Irvin, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't bring myself to let go of that pain.Irvin smiled softly at me when he spotted me stepping out."I'll take you to the airport," he offered.Collecting my thoughts, I said, "No need. Didn't we agree back then to avoid seeing each other as much as possible until you can fully drop the guise of being Timothy Hardwell?""Yes, and I will do my best to stay away from you. But today is an exception," Irvin answered.I couldn't help feeling a flicker of irritation as I stared at him. I didn't want to see him because I no longer wanted to feel conflicted toward him."I didn't need you to fly all the way here from Lestoria just to send

Grace handed her phone to Agatha."Noah Ashford's grandfather wants him to marry the Charters' daughter to form an alliance between the families. Ms. Charter is also quite fond of him, but he absolutely refuses to marry her. Right now, both Noah's grandfather and the Charters are very displeased with his refusal," she explained.Then, she asked, "If we let them know the reason behind Noah's refusal, what do you think these powerful people will do, Agatha?"Agatha hardly paid attention to external affairs since Timothy's passing. So, she didn't even know who Noah was.Seeing her frown, Grace quickly realized she didn't recognize Noah's name."Noah Ashford is William Ashford's nephew. He is also the only grandson of Mr. Griffin Hull, the sole patriarch of the Hull family. Currently, Noah is the sole heir to both the Hulls and Redwood's Ashfords," Grace explained.Agatha recognized the two families. "Now, that's an impressive background."The Hardwells could rival the Ashfords, but

"If you refuse to do this, Tim, don't blame me for taking action!" Magnus threatened.He didn't want to deal with me. I was just a young woman, and he felt someone as insignificant as me wasn't worthy of his time. However, if Irvin insisted on being stubborn and believing I was more important than the family's interests, I would then be an obstacle. Magnus had no qualms about eliminating any pesky obstacles."If you dare lay a hand on Emilia, then I will reveal to the world that I'm not Timothy! Then we'll see just how unstable Hardwell Group's stock prices will be and how the shares will be redistributed."We'll also see if your brother, who has been waiting in the shadows all this while, will use this chance to take over. I'm sure you know better than I do what the outcomes will be, Magnus," Irvin threatened back.Magnus knew Irvin was brave, but he didn't realize he was so bold. Not only did Irvin refuse to obey him, but he had also dared to threaten him.Furious, Magnus slam
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 355
Upon hearing Magnus agree to her plan, Grace lowered her gaze to hide her satisfaction.Irvin had used his favored status with Magnus to threaten her. Well, she would see how well he fared when he had to go up against Magnus instead.Irvin was just her chosen pawn, and there was no such thing as a pawn turning on its master.Magnus had always been a man of action. So, he immediately called Irvin to the room. Once Irvin arrived, Magnus explained Grace's plan.Upon hearing what they wanted him to do, Irvin wanted to laugh. He had always thought of Magnus as one of the better people in this family, but now, he realized he had thought too highly of him."Agatha and Grace created this mess. Yet, they want Emilia to take the blame for it and expect me to be the one to condemn her? What do you take me for, Magnus? A mentally impaired idiot?" Irvin asked derisively.Magnus frowned. "Watch what you're saying, Tim. Can't you see the public's doubts and their effect on Hardwell Group's stoc

At the time, Grace was already more than five months pregnant.So, even if she hadn't wanted the child, she still shouldn't have gone as far as using her body to frame me in this way. Hence, if she really did intentionally try to frame me, there had to have been a reason behind it.Additionally, Irvin and Timothy looked identical. Because of this, many people couldn't help speculating and suspecting that Timothy was the twin who had died, whereas Irvin was the surviving twin. And since Irvin wasn't her husband, that was why Grace had tried to frame me in such a risky manner.On top of that, in all the photos Grace had taken of us, it was clear Irvin was the one who had initiated intimate contact.People could tell he was the one who had embraced me first and behaved affectionately toward me. And in every photo, it was evident that I had no intentions of seducing Irvin. This only further reinforced people's belief that Timothy had died, while Irvin was still alive.Hardwell Group's
