Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 192
"I said that's enough, Emilia!" Jeremy shouted, standing up in anger.I sneered as I looked at him. "You're so unwilling to spare Julianne some money, yet you had the nerve to ask me to trade my life for hers?""Who said you would need to trade your life?" Jeremy retorted irritatedly. "All you had to do was follow Irvin's plan—" He abruptly stopped. He didn't finish because he knew Irvin's plan had gone wrong. In fact, they all knew this. If I hadn't acted first and taken down Ms. Plume, I would likely be dead right now.They kept telling me I shouldn't have escaped and should have just gone along with the exchange. Yet here they were, unwilling to give Julianne their money. They were supposed to be closest to her and loved her the most, so what right did they have to ask me to give up my life for her?They were in the wrong, yet they still had the audacity to blame me. But now that I had turned the moral argument against them, they didn't know how to continue. Just moments ago
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 193
Julianne seemed genuinely worried about losing Irvin. Her pleas sounded convincing, and she had even gotten on her knees.Mom and Jeremy were completely unaware of Irvin's condition. They had been caring for Julianne ever since they heard what had happened to her. And once she started to feel better, they immediately came after me.Because of that, they were just now learning that Irvin had gotten injured trying to save me. His injuries weren't severe, but apparently, he was growing weaker because he had lost the will to live. So, when they heard Julianne say he might die, they were shell-shocked.Their heads snapped toward me. It was obvious they wanted me to pay Irvin a visit.I ignored them. Why should I? I wasn't a doctor.None of them thought I would be so heartless toward him. I used to love him so much that I would wish to take on his pain despite my aversion toward it. It didn't matter how severely injured he was, I would gladly take it on for him.Yet now, I was refusi
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 194
Julianne stood up and said, "I wouldn't have to threaten you like this if you weren't being so cold-hearted and unfeeling."Those words were probably to maintain her image as an innocent and angelic girl in front of Henry, Mom, and Jeremy. Personally, I felt it was completely unnecessary.Initially, they were dumbfounded to hear that Julianne would be inheriting Irvin's new company should he die. But once they overcame their shock, their goal had clearly shifted.When I had first gotten together with Irvin, Mom and Henry were against our relationship. They disliked Irvin then because he had just been kicked out of his home.At the time, Phillip had wanted one of his illegitimate children to succeed him and take over Sawyer Corporation. Having lost his position as a potential heir, Irvin was seen as nothing in the eyes of others.On top of that, Irvin had a rocky adolescence. He was a spoiled child and had lived a pampered life, which made him flamboyant, arrogant, and reckless. Pl

As for my family, it didn't matter how shocked they initially were. I was sure they had already started plotting how to insert themselves into Julianne's soon-to-be company. I chuckled humorlessly. "Did you just say Irvin's new company is registered under your name? Oh please. You're just the legal representative, aren't you?"Julianne froze, having just started to straighten herself. My words had also shattered my family's wonderful daydreams about their future.There was a huge difference between owning a company and being its legal representative.If she owned the company, it meant she was its largest shareholder and beneficiary. But as a legal representative, it meant the company was only registered under her name and personal details. She wouldn't have to be its largest beneficiary to be its legal representative, but it did mean she would be legally responsible for the company."According to Irvin's notarized will, all of his assets will go to me should something happen to

Still, I hoped God would take away Irvin's life soon. That way, I would become a rich widow overnight. However, I didn't get what I hoped for. It seemed God favored Irvin because I didn't get to see that scoundrel leave this earth.The doctor had said Irvin would remain in a coma forever if he didn't wake up within the next 24 hours. Not only did he wake up, but he did so without any complications. And to top it off, he had even lost his memory.It seemed Irvin's memories had regressed to four years ago when his love for me was the strongest. He had even forgotten all the cruel things he had done to me. Instead, he only remembered how much he loved me and how well he treated me.In his mind, we had just graduated from college. We had collected our graduation certificates and marriage certificate on the same day.It was also around then that the rebellious and free-spirited Irvin decided to launch his startup. He had decided to give his all and work hard. After all, he wanted to p

Some people said men always behaved childishly in front of the women they loved. I supposed this saying was somewhat true when it came to the old Irvin.Prior to knowing about the fake drugging video, Irvin would act like a child when he was home. It didn't matter how imposing he seemed in public. The moment he stepped through the front door, he would instantly become clingy and childish.Unlike most men, Irvin also didn't have trouble expressing his love for me. Be it verbally or through his actions, he would passionately and sincerely make it known. Most importantly, he only had eyes for me.At the time, I was someone who was starved of affection and desperately yearned for it. Hence, his intense and earnest displays of love made me forget my personal goals. I gave up everything and resolutely decided I would do anything to stay with him.Irvin's devotion made me believe he would love me for life and that we would be happy forever. So, who would have thought his so-called profoun

However, I knew Irvin didn't actually want me to stab him. He just wanted to make me feel that sense of reluctance to hurt him. He was hoping I would regain the love I had for him through his.It was one of his oldest tactics. He always pulled the same stunt whenever he made me angry.First, he would act pitiful and ask me to hit him. Then, he would somehow get hurt in the process, and I would end up feeling sorry for him. Lastly, I would ultimately forget what I had done wrong because I was reluctant to lose him.He might be the same person he always had been, but I wasn't.I scoffed at him, then took a few steps back.Once I had put enough distance between us, I said, "Stab you? Isn't that a crime? Can you stop being so appalling? If you truly think you're at fault, then how about you be a man about it? Stop pretending to have amnesia and enough with these cheap tricks! Let's divvy our assets and quickly get divorced!"The words "pretending to have amnesia" seemed to strike a c

Hurt was written all over Irvin's face, but I remained indifferent.To me, he was a murderer because he had been a threat to my life numerous times.He stepped forward and tried to hold me, but I signaled my bodyguards. They immediately stepped in front of me and blocked him."Tell him everything he has done to me. Don't leave out any details," I ordered them.If he wanted to feign amnesia to absolve himself of his crimes, then I would ensure the facts were clearly presented to him. He couldn't erase what he had done just because he claimed to have lost his memories.With that, I turned and left, completely ignoring his shouts. I didn't have the time to deal with him. Now that he had regained consciousness, I could no longer hope to become a rich widow. Thus, I had to continue figuring out how to divorce him.On top of that, my graduate school entrance exam was fast approaching, and I still had a lot of material to review.…I finished my revision list for the day just in tim

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

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

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
