Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 166
Meanwhile, at an abandoned factory in a remote mountain area, Julianne watched the video Travis had just recorded of her.Dissatisfied, she tugged at her clothes to make the tears in them bigger. Her upper body was now almost completely exposed. She also ripped the slit in her skirt all the way to the waistband. Then, she mussed her hair to make it even messier.Now, she looked as though she had been sexually assaulted."Shoot it again. What nonsense did you just film?" Julianne ordered while holding the phone out to Travis.She didn't look like she had been roughed up in the video. So, why would Irvin believe she was in terrible danger? She had to convince him that her life was in danger. Otherwise, he wouldn't trade me for her.Just as I suspected.Julianne hadn't been able to hire a hitman to take me out. Plus, she was worried she would be implicated if she did. Yet, she was still unwilling to let me live my life in peace.So, she went about hurting me from a different angle
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 167
Julianne was terrified.Her voice instantly became feeble as she pleaded with Travis. "Please don't do this, Mr. Walker. Don't forget, I am your savior. I paid for your medical bills and your tuition. I'm the reason you survived long enough to attend a good university."She hoped reminding him of the favor she had done for him would snap him out of his current state.Travis recalled the despair he had felt when he was lying in the hospital bed. His expression softened at the memory.Cupping Julianne's face gently, he said, "You made me feel like I was looking at an angel back then. Did you know that, Ms. Lianne?"He had been experiencing the darkest moment of his life when Julianne had appeared. Shrouded in pure light, she had rescued him from his despair.All these years, he had viewed her as an angel. Hence, he didn't dare defile her in any way. He did everything she asked, but he was also filled with regret and suffering. He was pained by the fact that she was out of his reach
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 168
My eyes were filled with disgust and murderous hatred.Irvin involuntarily shrank from fear under my gaze. He was afraid I would never love him again and refused to be with him. He was also terrified that I would hate him for the rest of my life.He genuinely didn't want it to be this way between us. But this was Julianne's life at stake.He knew any explanations would be pointless at this stage. They would just sound like feeble excuses.Yet, he still tried. "I know Lianne has wronged you many times before, Emi," he admitted. "I also know that her relationship with Mr. Walker isn't straightforward. But you saw the video yourself! You know it's real."What happened in the video was undeniable. Travis' movements and Julianne's terrified cries were proof of this. She had truly been violated."Lianne did have a good relationship with Mr. Walker, but people change, especially those in his situation. He's been backed into a corner, so it doesn't matter how good of a relationship the

I knew it was useless to beg since Irvin only cared about Julianne. But I still couldn't help but try.I was scared. I was so, so scared.I was terrified of getting hurt again. Having suffered after a near-death experience, I feared experiencing it all over again.I had stayed in the hospital for three months. But the first month after I had regained consciousness was the worst.There hadn't been an inch of me that wasn't in pain. The pain had been so unbearable that I had to max out my dosage of sleeping pills every night. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep.I had always been sensitive to pain. But after that ordeal, I was now deathly afraid of experiencing it.Truthfully, I would rather die than suffer that level of agony again. That being said, I also didn't want to die. I wanted to continue living. I had finally found a glimmer of hope and was about to start over. So, I didn't want my life to end like this.I really, truly didn't."Please, Irvin," I choked out, grippi

Irvin felt as though his heart had stopped, and he couldn't breathe. It was as though invisible hands were squeezing his heart.He instinctively reached out to me, but I moved out of his reach.I didn't want him to touch me anymore. I also didn't want him to hinder me from moving forward with my life again. My gaze was devoid of any emotion as I stared at him.Tears well up in his eyes. "Don't be like this, Emi. Please? Can't you have faith that I'll protect you?"Irvin wished with all his heart that I would trust him just this once. But I wanted to live, and I longed for him to let me go.However, he didn't give me any hope that I would get what I wanted. So naturally, I didn't either."Julianne's life is at stake, Emi. I know you hate her. But no matter how strongly you do, you won't just sit by and do nothing when her life is in danger, right?Irvin didn't want our relationship to be like this. It was already falling apart. But he truly wanted to do everything he could to tre

Initially, Travis had been excited when he first touched her. He was overjoyed at being able to fulfill his lifelong dream.But now, the joy Travis had felt had worn off. So, he felt Julianne's body wasn't even that satisfying. In fact, he even felt she was worse than the street hookers he could find outside pubs. At least those hookers were tight and voluptuous.Travis couldn't hold back his distaste for Julianne, who was still lying on the floor.Without hesitation, he kicked her and sneered. "You lived wildly while you were abroad, didn't you? I bet you slept around the entire time."For years, Julianne had been like an angel in Travis' eyes. She was someone who was high above him. So much so that he felt sinful should he even think of her in a lewd way. To him, her existence was sacred, so she had to be treated as such.That being said, Julianne had willingly slept with a much older man just for money. And when she went abroad later on, she had lived a debaucherous lifestyle.

Travis thought about what he had done to Irvin.He had claimed Julianne. She was Irvin's precious and beloved stepmother, whom Irvin cherished dearly. Not only that, Travis also planned on having his way with me. Once he had me in his grasp, he was going to enjoy my body to his heart's content.The thought of this intensified the thrill he was feeling. He even felt everything he had done would still be worth it even if it ended in failure.After all, he would have taken down the high and mighty Irvin Sawyer. The same man who used to scold him and call him a fool without reason. Soon, he would sully the people Irvin loved most. That meant Irvin would be miserable for the rest of his life.What more could Travis want?He ended the call and looked at Julianne. She was still lying on the floor, too weak to move.Walking over, he patted her face. "Don't worry. I won't let that bitch Emilia off easy. She's going to have it worse than you!"Travis hated Julianne for ruining his life. T

I knew it. I knew things wouldn't go as smoothly as Irvin had confidently claimed. Something unexpected was bound to happen.I had told Irvin not to bring Ms. Plume along. I had even told him she had bullied me in the past and that she was close with Travis. I had also pointed out that something was amiss when Travis had singled her out.But Travis had insisted that Ms. Plume accompanied us. And just like how Irvin refused to let me go, he also declined sending Ms. Plume away. Not only that, he had handed me over to her without hesitation. He had allowed her to deliver me to Travis without a second thought.It seemed Irvin just didn't trust me. When it was between me and Julianne, he had implicitly trusted Julianne. And he did the same when it came to Ms. Plume.Ms. Plume was one of his subordinates who obeyed him without question. So, he believed she wouldn't act against him. He also assumed she wouldn't do anything to harm me.No, that wasn't right. It wasn't that he implicitly

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.

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
