Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 195
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

I had been tugging my hair out because of this challenging obstacle. So, I didn't expect Noah would get around it so swiftly and easily.I immediately sent the evidence he had given me to Mark. With this, I was sure I could sue Irvin for transferring our joint shares without my knowledge. Plus, there was also evidence of how broken our relationship was.With these factors combined, Mark would definitely be able to get the court to rule in favor of our divorce. I was also confident I would get a larger portion of our assets too.Overcome with joy, I hugged Noah and exclaimed, "Noah, you're such a good kid! You're truly amazing!"Noah instantly blushed, but I was completely oblivious to this. After thanking him profusely, I released him and started working on the divorce. I couldn't wait to get it over with.Once I had compiled all the evidence, I headed straight to the courthouse to file for our divorce.Irvin received a summons from the court soon after. In fact, he was standing

Sure enough, Irvin launched into a rant."He treated me so well and seemed so genuine! Phillip was my birth father, so tell me, who in the world would think that it was all an act? Who would have known that he was intentionally raising me to be a spoiled brat?" he exclaimed with disbelief."Phillip had scarred me psychologically. And because of him, I was no longer the sunny person I once was. I stopped believing that this world was good and became distrustful—suspicious of everyone who treated me kindly."I've been desperately suppressing all my dark thoughts. All this while I insisted to myself that our meeting and falling in love with each other was real. I constantly convinced myself that your kindness toward me came from the heart."Irvin's volume grew louder as he spoke, to the point where he was now yelling. He was having a meltdown on my doorstep."But maybe it was because I tried too hard to suppress them, so they kept coming back stronger. It was like I was trying to co

Irvin opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted by Julianne suddenly rushing over to us."How could you be so heartless, Emilia!" she shrieked. "Irvin got injured from trying to save you, yet you didn't even visit him once while he was in the hospital. And now you're treating him like this?"Then, she hugged Irvin and said to him, "Don't beg her, Irvin! If she wants to get a divorce, then let her! And if she's heartless enough to go through with it, it just means she doesn't actually love you!"There she went again, poisoning his mind. Seeing as she grew up with him, she surely understood him well. She knew just what to say to make him doubt me regardless of which version of Irvin it was.And true enough, Irvin did. He couldn't help wondering if what Julianne said was true. Was I treating him this way because I didn't actually love him? After all, how could I bear to treat him this way if I did?His gaze even involuntarily changed to one that asked, "Is it true that you di

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
