Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 150
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

But saying he didn't know me wasn't entirely true. After learning the truth, he knew full well that I intended to divorce him and leave him for good.The so-called chance I gave him was just to make him suffer even more. There was no way I could ever forgive him.So, while I thought I had tricked him, he had already been plotting against me.He had treated me like an enemy, cunningly transferring the shares of the shell company to me while secretly owning a new company that was entirely under his control.If we didn't divorce, our two companies would remain one, and the company in my name would continue to thrive.But the moment we divorced, my company would go bankrupt instantly. Not only would I lose everything, but I would also be drowning in debt, just like what he said.I stared at Irvin as he spoke so genuinely, claiming he never intended to hurt me and never would. And that all he wanted was to be with me.I wanted to say something, but the words never left my lips, becau

As I was too focused on figuring out how to fight my way back in this situation, I completely forgot that night had already fallen.By the time I arrived at Mark's law firm, the building was completely dark.I couldn't help but chuckle. I really had lost my mind after that blow.I was so anxious that I wanted to call Mark to ask what I should do in this situation. I wanted to know whether there were any legal loopholes that I could use to fight back.However, I realized it was already late, and he was probably asleep.I shouldn't disturb his rest. Besides, even if there was a legal way to break through this situation, it wasn't something that could be solved instantly.I put my phone away.Just moments ago, I had been confident that I would have my divorce certificate tomorrow. I would be completely free from this marriage and start focusing on my studies. But after this sudden blow, I couldn't calm myself down no matter how hard I tried.I drove aimlessly through the quiet w

Neither Shaun nor I noticed that someone had taken a picture of us entering the hotel together.Just as I finished washing up and was ready to lie in my bed, Irvin called me. I initially didn't want to answer, but after giving it some thought, I picked up."Emi, why aren't you home?" he asked.Irvin thought I had gone home after leaving. Once he had composed himself, he went to my place but found I wasn't home."Why does it matter to you whether I go home or not?" I replied coldly. I couldn't understand how he could act this way after doing that to me."Emi—""Don't call me that!" I cut him off. "And stop pretending to be all affectionate. Even if you don't find it disgusting, please spare me from it!"Irvin instinctively explained, "Emi, I'm not pretending.""Oh? Then was your brand-new company built in a day? You must have spent quite some time draining your current company, right?"Now that I had calmed down, I had been thinking about it. I answered his call to get informat
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 156
After hanging up on Irvin, I lay in bed, my mind racing with thoughts of how to escape. I was wide awake the entire night.As soon as morning arrived, I could finally call Mark and arrange a meeting to discuss the situation.After contemplating it all night, I had come up with a possible loophole, but I wasn't sure if it was feasible. I needed the opinion of a professional lawyer.Mark frowned after hearing everything.He was present when Irvin transferred all his assets to me, reviewing all the relevant documents and ensuring there were no issues. He had assumed Irvin was genuinely remorseful and that he wanted to make up for his mistake. He never imagined the truth to be something like this!He apologized immediately, "I'm sorry, Emilia. I didn't even realize this possibility back then."Sawyer Corporation was one of the country's leading companies with a promising future.Therefore, Mark naturally assumed there was fine. It never occurred to him that there could be an issue
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 157
"But he didn't choose to divorce you," Mark pointed out. "Instead, he told you all these to keep you. If that's the case, then he must truly love you."He continued, "He probably didn't intend to harm you but was just desperate to hold onto you. Maybe he was afraid that you'd never forgive him no matter what, so he wanted to bind you to him first. "If you still have feelings for him, and if there's a chance for reconciliation, perhaps you can try to resolve the past and move forward together."If there was a chance for us to reconcile, then there would be no need to waste energy searching for evidence."No way!" I replied without hesitation. "I'll never be with him again!"Not that I believed his love for me was genuine, but even if it was, there was no way I'd ever be with him again!Not all pain and wounds could be healed by love."If you can't be with him again, then… you could use his feelings to your advantage," Mark said. "You can seduce him or lower the hostility between

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. She knew he would continue to tolerate her—for the sake of his sickly niece—as long as she didn't do anything out of line.To be clear, Julianne made my life difficult because she hated me. But as long as she didn't harm me, she knew no one would hold it against her. After all, William's niece needed her blood to live.The more she thought about this, the more pleased she became.I could see it plainly in her eyes. Her expression seemed to say that even after all thes

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

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
