Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 21
While waiting for the test results, I couldn't help but ask about Mr. Holland. Back when I decided to drop out of school and venture into business, the disappointment in his eyes haunted me to this day, making me too afraid to contact him even after all these years.All I've ever dared to do was send occasional holiday greetings in the group chats we were both in.Mr. Holland had really put all his heart into teaching me back then. He was already established in the industry, so he didn't need to take on graduate students anymore, but he made an exception just for me. He was the second person in the world to treat me well, aside from Grandma.However, I dropped out after being accepted into the graduate program with him as my mentor. The only reason I did that was to take care of Irwin, as he was too busy to do so himself when he first started his company. Back then, he often had stomach issues, so I wanted to be there for him.My memories were coming back to me now. I remembered ho

"Emilia, you bitch, how dare you show your face here!" A woman lunged at me as she screamed.Before I could back away to avoid the woman's attack, Shaun stepped in front of me, taking the brunt of the blow on my behalf.Seeing him frown from the impact, my expression turned cold.The woman, furious at not being able to hit me with her bag, pointed at Shaun and screamed, "Who are you? Why are you shielding this bitch? Are you her lover?"Now I know why you've changed so much, Emilia Quill! You've been fooling around with someone else! I'm going to tell Irvin, so he'll give you nothing in the divorce, you cheating bitch!"Katie's daughter was just as vile and uncultured as herself.I stepped forward and said coldly, "Simone Fisher, between me and Irvin, we both know who was actually unfaithful. You'd better watch your mouth!"Simone had grown up with Irvin and Julianne. She was Julianne's number one bootlicker, so naturally, she didn't like me at all. She was just as bad as her mo

I tried to shake him off, but his grip was tight. I didn't dare to struggle too hard, so I looked at him coldly. "Let me go. I'm not going to apologize."Irvin frowned. "Would you rather go to jail instead?"He'd thought that it was just an accident; he only found out that I had supposedly pushed Julianne into the pond because of Simone's shouting earlier."Did you know that you almost killed Lianne?" he demanded. "I've already told you that I won't have anything to do with Lianne anymore. Why did you still go after her and push her into the pond?"Why did you have to be so cruel, Emilia? Why can't you show Lianne some kindness?"Once again, he blamed me for everything, just like my diary said. No matter what happened between me and Julianne, he would always take Julianne's side without looking into the matter.My parents and Jeremy were the same. Ever since Julianne turned up in my life, everything was my fault. I was always the wrong one, the malicious one, the one who couldn't

I looked at my parents innocently. "I'm just saying that Julianne looks healthy. What, I can't do that now?"My parents were livid. "Millicent, when did you become like this?" Mom scolded. "Your sister's always been nice to you. She was even trying to stop us from calling the police on you. "But not only did you not appreciate her kindness, you even mocked her! Do you have any conscience left? Why do you always treat Lianne like this?"She was so angry that she put down the bowl to slap me. "First, you got Lianne kidnapped and refused to apologize. You even told her to kill herself, causing her to end up in the hospital. "Then, at your grandmother's birthday celebration, you humiliated her and pushed her into the pond. Don't you feel at all guilty after doing so many vicious things? Milicent—"Before Mom could continue her tirade, Dad cut her off. "There's no use talking to her. Call the police and get her arrested. She's beyond saving. Let the police discipline her for us! Sh

Now, the shares were the first thing that Dad thought of. He was so eager to get that 10% share for Julianne.It was as if the 10%, which was worth billions, were nothing more than 10 dollars that he could take from me effortlessly.I didn't know when I gave them the idea that my money was free for them to take.Even though Julianne's expression remained unchanged, I saw her clutching her blanket with barely concealed excitement.I'd thought that she had pushed me into the pond in the spur of the moment, driven by her anger. It seemed like I had been too naive.If this was premeditated, that meant that she would've found another way to lure me to the pond one way or another if I hadn't gone near it yesterday. She might even orchestrate something else to make it look like I had harmed her, and then use the opportunity to make my parents force me to give the shares to her.She was the one who wanted me dead, but she managed to make it look like it was the other way round.This w

Just as the atmosphere turned tense, Simone walked in. Julianne looked up and gave her a look.Simone understood what she wanted immediately. Loudly, she said, "Don't be afraid, Lianne! I've called the police! They'll be here to arrest this vile woman who tried to kill you!"Irvin frowned, his face darkening. "What are you talking about, Simone? Who told you to call the police? Besides, I don't want to hear you insulting Emilia again!"Irvin was weird. Most of the time, he treated me poorly, but there were times when he displayed surprising concern toward me."She almost killed Lianne. Why are you still defending her?" Simone demanded, pointing at me. "I saw her push Lianne into the pond with my own eyes. She said Lianne should die! An evil woman like her needs to face justice!""What the hell are you talking about?" Irvin snapped.At the same time, Julianne looked at me smugly. She was threatening to send me to prison for real if I didn't give her any shares.Even if Irvin defe

Irvin's expression changed suddenly. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He just gave me a look of helpless indulgence, like he was looking at a toddler throwing a tantrum.It disgusted me to no end.Once everyone had left, Julianne immediately extended her hand toward me. "Let me see."She wanted to confirm whether I had actually recorded anything.Graciously, I played the recording from last night to her. Julianne wouldn't have let me off so easily after I humiliated her at the birthday celebration and ruined her reputation. Knowing that, I had retreated to a secluded corner, both to take a break and to wait for her to come and find me.I just hadn't expected her to act so ruthlessly in public.I'd almost died.The recording played the entire incident, from the moment Julianne came to me to talk until she pushed me into the pond and fell in herself. Her expression was grim. If I released this video, it wouldn't just expose her true natu
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 28
Simone, enraged, began cursing me out. "Emilia, you cruel bitch! Have you lost your mind? You're downright evil! You know full well that Irvin can never be with Lianne. How could you say that? I can't believe how vicious you are. You should've died in that fall!"I was flabbergasted.How was I the evil one here? I thought I was being kind, bringing these tragic lovebirds together!Besides, why couldn't Julianne be with Irvin? They almost kissed in that private room, and Julianne had always said that Irvin loved her the most.If he loved her the most, why couldn't they be together?And if they couldn't be together, why did she keep getting in the way of our marriage?Most importantly, Irvin treated Julianne incredibly well. They weren't formally in a relationship, but they had already done everything couples were supposed to do. How could they not be together?I was just about to ask when the police knocked on the door and entered.In order to force my hand, Julianne had really

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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 365
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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 363
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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 361
"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
