"However, from now on, I will no longer recognize Henry Quill as my father," I said. "Apart from offering support that he needs when he gets older, I will no longer have any contact with him. I also ask that he never reach out to me ever again."I continued, "Simply put, our father-daughter relationship ends here!"He had given me life, and now I was going to help him get his life and freedom back. So we're considered even.Mom and Jeremy were stunned by my words. They were in a daze as they never expected me to say something like this.After all, I had always longed for a family and desired love.There once was a time when I would've sacrificed my life for them if they showed me even the slightest bit of kindness. But now, I was severing ties with them.Snapping back to reality, Mom began chastising me. "Are you out of your mind, Millicent?"She and Julianne truly were like mother and daughter, despite Julianne being adopted. Mom had said the same thing she did.I chuckled hum

Irvin would usually catch Julianne and embrace her fully.It looked as though he was going to catch her as usual, but then he seemed to reconsider it. Instead, he quickly side-stepped her and simply reached out, grabbing her arm to steady her.Julianne was already in a bad mood. When she saw how unwilling Irvin was to embrace her, her expression became thunderous.I couldn't help smirking at the sight of Irvin avoiding her.See, as a married man, he knew he shouldn't behave intimately with any woman other than his wife. He knew that doing so was wrong.Yet in the past, he would casually hug Julianne and even allow her to cling to his arm. They would behave so intimately with each other.When I had called him out on it, he had the nerve to say I was reading too much into it because I had already made up my mind about their relationship.After reading the contents of my journal, I was glad I had lost all memory of him. If I hadn't, I would still be living in a constant state of se

Irvin had always supported Julianne financially all these years. It didn't matter if he was struggling to make ends meet. He would always find a way to give her the money she needed.When he eventually became rich, he continued to do so. He would also give her anything she wanted.Hence, Julianne truly never expected Irvin to say what he had said. Not only did he not reprimand me, but he even sided with me. She definitely never thought he would do so, especially when I was upsetting her. It angered her so much that her vision blurred, and she nearly fainted. And this time, she wasn't pretending.In the past, Irvin would be frantic from worry whenever she was in any discomfort. But now, he wasn't even the least bit concerned about her.Julianne was so upset by this that she began crying genuine tears."Irvin." She looked at him and sobbed. "You promised to treat me well for as long as you lived…"She was swaying on her feet. She looked as though she was about to collapse.I h

Irvin managed to save her right at the critical moment. He had used his body and blocked her from hitting the wall. In that instant, he looked immensely relieved. He was probably thanking all the gods in existence for helping him to save her.I believed Irvin when he claimed he didn't love Julianne romantically. I also believed that he truly thought he didn't and that I was the one he loved. Otherwise, he wouldn't have transferred his entire fortune to me.That being said, I also felt he wasn't fully aware of his own feelings. He hadn't yet realized that the person he truly loved was Julianne. Otherwise, he wouldn't have behaved the way he just did.Irvin was about to exhale in relief when he saw that Julianne was fine. But then, he met my contemptuous gaze.His heart seemed to shrivel, and his immediate reaction was to push Julianne away. However, Julianne closed her eyes and fainted in his arms.I thought he was going to pick her up in a panic and rush her to the hospital. It

I couldn't shake Irvin off at all, not even when I arrived at Mr. Holland's house.The smile on his face faded when he saw Irvin following me."What's going on? Why has Irvin followed you here?" he asked. "Don't tell me you've gone back to being a lovesick fool again?"I had been completely head over heels in love in the past. Thus, it didn't matter how emotionally detached or anti-love I acted now. He was still worried I would be bitten by the lovesick bug again.I flashed Mr. Holland a small smile. "No, I haven't. Don't worry, I'll be severing all ties with him soon."I wasn't sure if Irvin's change in behavior was out of guilt or love. But it seemed he had made up his mind to stop treating Julianne the way he used to. He might be intent on this, but I knew what Julianne was capable of.She wouldn't allow him to stick to his decision for long, nor would she allow him to create distance between them—especially with me antagonizing her like this. She would undoubtedly retaliate s

Irvin had just tucked in a sleeping Julianne. He was preparing to leave when I arrived.He came face to face with me when he turned around. Different emotions flashed so quickly across his face that I couldn't describe them. I smiled patronizingly at him. "Let's talk elsewhere. We shouldn't disturb your beloved Julianne's sleep."With that, I turned and walked away.Irvin's expression was so ugly when he heard what I said. But I didn't care.He wanted me to stop bringing up his relationship with Julianne. But at the same time, he was also afraid I would. This was because if I no longer cared about their relationship, it also meant I no longer cared about him.Irvin looked at me once we were outside. He then took the lead and spoke first."I really had urgent work matters to attend to. That's why I didn't wait outside Mr. Holland's house for you," he began explaining. "I only came to see Lianne once I had handled it."Then, he tried to justify his actions. "And the reason I cam

However, I underestimated how cautious Julianne would be. She never used her phone to contact Travis. She had also erased all traces of their chat history. For a long time, I didn't gain anything useful from spying on her through her phone.Until today.This recording was the most useful thing I had gotten after monitoring her phone for so long.It wasn't the only thing I had, of course. I also had screenshots of her chat history with Irvin and with me. However, I decided to show only the recording since it was sufficient. It was conclusive enough to nail him for violating our agreement.If he didn't think it was enough evidence, I still had plenty to show him.Irvin's face became gloomier when he heard me say I had more evidence."Where did you get that recording? Did you hire someone to spy on me?" he questioned.He was a smart man, after all. So, it wasn't surprising that he was able to put the pieces together so quickly.I shrugged. "No, I didn't. Someone sent this to me,

He didn't want to let go of me. No matter what, he just couldn't, unless he died.But even if he died, he still didn't want to let go. He wanted to take me with him.He couldn't live without me—not even when he was suffering, and especially not now. I frowned. "Are you trying to disregard the agreement and force me to sue you?"My agreement with Irvin wasn't just a verbal promise. He couldn't go back on his word whenever he pleased.Our agreement was legally binding. If he broke his promise, I could take him to court. With the divorce agreement in hand, the court would grant the divorce and divide the assets according to what was stated in it.He would leave the marriage with nothing!Irvin saw my determination to sue him and the disgust in my gaze. There was no trace of the love I once had for him. The despair in his eyes slowly turned into rage. No matter what, he just couldn't accept that I stopped loving him. And I stopped loving him without hesitation. There were no li

These prominent scholars might be able to speak eloquently during academic discussions, but they weren't fond of socializing. Hence, when invited to dinner, their first instinct was to decline.It wasn't until Professor Weiss explained that we would simply be continuing the day's discussion while eating—rather than it being a formal meal—that the scholars finally agreed to join us later that evening.Hungry for more knowledge, my attention was fully focused on these professors. All I could think about was what questions I could ask them over dinner. I was so focused that I didn't even notice Irvin repeatedly glancing at me as we left.We took a shuttle back to the official conference hotel. Then, after saying temporary goodbyes, we headed to our respective rooms to change.Once inside the room, Emma couldn't hold it in any longer."Oh my god!" she exclaimed. "I thought I was pretty smart because I had a high IQ. I had always been a top student and managed to get into one of the to

While I couldn't completely let go of Irvin, I was no longer the person I once was.Back then, I had placed love above all else, so loving Irvin had been the most important thing to me. I'd devoted myself to him and treated him like he was my entire world. He had been the source of all my emotions—from happiness to anger, and from sorrow to joy.Now, my top priority was my studies and research. I would never again give up the academic path I loved so deeply for anyone.…Julianne watched as Mitchell apologized to Professor Weiss and tried to curry favor with him. Then, she saw the way Professor Weiss treated me with warmth and respect. Hatred simmered behind her eyes. She felt life was so unfair. She had to work hard for everything she wanted, and yet those very things seemed to fall effortlessly into my lap. She didn't want to take any more risks. But despite this, she was so furious that she couldn't resist the urge to. She wanted to destroy me once and for all.Grace obse

Mitchell felt humiliated from having to apologize to me so publicly, so he was already in a bad mood. And when he heard the tone Julienne used with him, his expression soured even more."Who told you Ms. Quill is an academic fraud, Ms. Calder?" he shot back.Julianne clearly hadn't expected that. She was caught off guard by the question. Then, as though sensing someone's gaze on her, she turned her head. And when she spotted Irvin, she froze.Julianne had kept tabs on Irvin, but they hadn't seen each other face-to-face ever since she faked her death. So, their sudden encounter shook her.I lowered my gaze when I saw Julianne and Irvin lock eyes.I had recognized Julianne the moment I saw her. My family had too. Thus, I believed it would be the same for Irvin as well.Our relationship problems started because of Julianne, so they should end with her too.Having grown up together with Irvin, she knew she couldn't hide who she really was from him. Regardless, she couldn't admit she

"Ms. Quill, you—" Grace sputtered.From her expression, I could tell she wanted to say, "You really will say anything to save your pride. How will you get in if you won't follow us?"Just then, a few people walked out of the hall. At the lead was an elderly man with white hair.Upon seeing me, the elderly man's stern expression morphed into a smile. "Emilia! You're here!"I returned the smile and walked up to greet him, "Hello, Professor Weiss."I had met several influential figures during the Global Technology Forum in Lestoria. Among them, I had gotten along best with this man, Professor Richard Weiss.After exchanging pleasantries, Professor Weiss turned to Mitchell and asked, "Who is this man? What gives him the right to bar you from attending the conference and call you an academic fraud?"Professor Weiss was the biggest name in the physics field. He was someone everyone respected and dared not offend.Hearing this, Mitchell quickly explained, "It was a misunderstanding! I

"Of course!" Grace said.Moving to my side, she linked her arm with mine in a friendly gesture. It was as though we were on very good terms.She continued, "Not only is she an incredibly skilled researcher, but she's also my sister-in-law—which means she's also a member of the Hardwell family. So, Mr. Slate, any accusations of her being an academic fraud must be a misunderstanding!"Upon hearing how solemn Grace was, Mitchell couldn't help but look at me."If you aren't an academic fraud, then why would Ms. Calder say that about you?" he asked.I coolly returned his gaze. "That's a question for Ms. Calder, not me."Mitchell frowned and looked displeased. He clearly hadn't expected that answer.Grace turned to me and said, "Alright, Emi. Let's go inside together!"Her expression read, "Come on. I'll bring you in."Irvin didn't understand why I hadn't been allowed in despite having an invitation. He also didn't know why I had been mistaken for an academic fraud and was being bar

I looked down at my phone and was zooming in on the image of the data. But before I could even take a good look at it, Emma squeezed my arm."Holy crap! Emilia. Isn't that your ex-husband's brother!" she exclaimed.I instinctively looked up—just in time to see Irvin opening the car door and courteously helping Grace get down.Grace flashed a gentle smile at Irvin, then linked arms with him. To onlookers, that intimate gesture made them look like a loving married couple.I thought back to how Irvin had been near tears when we had met on the first snowfall of the season. Yet now, he was holding another woman's arm and playing the role of her devoted husband.I couldn't even describe how I felt at that moment.Then, I recalled how much Irvin had despised Grace before. Yet, in just a month, he managed to make it look like they were happily married. I feared it wouldn't be long before he began to feel sympathy for her. And then, per Grace's scheme, Irvin would eventually truly becom

William wasn't the type to repay a life-saving favor. So, for the past two years, Julianne had always wondered why he treated her so well and was especially attentive to her health.It was only after she returned to Claudeville that she finally understood.It turned out William had a sickly niece he cherished dearly—one whose survival depended on Julianne. Upon learning this, she suddenly felt she had the upper hand again.While she still couldn't figure William out entirely, she had come to understand him somewhat.

Seeing how determined I was, Emma didn't press any further.Just as we were about to leave in the car, another car pulled up beside ours. When I saw who stepped out of it, my eyes widened in shock.Emma saw them too and tugged at my sleeve in surprise. "Emilia, isn't that your ex-husband's brother and sister-in-law?"I was just about to say yes when Grace suddenly collapsed into Irvin's arms. He picked her up and rushed toward the hospital.Seeing this reminded me of how I had wished that Irvin would come and save me when I was drowning.I chuckled mockingly.Noticing something was off with me, Emma turned to me. "Emilia, what's wrong?"I withdrew my gaze. "Nothing."Then I told the driver to start driving.As the car drove out of the hospital, Emma stared at me. She hesitated at first, but then curiosity got the better of her "Emilia, looking at how you reacted to your ex-husband's brother… Is it true that he's actually not Timothy, but Irvin?" she asked.She had been with

Only after our car had driven far into the distance did William finally withdraw his gaze from Noah's car."Was Ms. Quill's assistant rescued?" he asked.Matthew immediately replied, "Yes, she's been taken to the hospital. She's out of danger."William hummed indifferently in response, then got into the car and left.…By the time I woke up in the hospital, night had already fallen.I was surprised to see Noah sitting at my bedside—surprised that I was still alive and that it was Noah who had come to save me.Seeing me awake, Noah stood up excitedly. "Emi, how are you feeling? I'll get the doctor!"I wanted to tell him I was fine, but my voice came out hoarse when I opened my mouth.Suddenly, I remembered something and quickly reached out to grab Noah before he could leave to call the doctor.Before I could even ask, he already knew what I was going to ask. "Your assistant's fine. She woke up even earlier than you," he said. Hearing that, I breathed a sigh of relief.Noah
