Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 250
Noah and I didn't continue the conversation.As we were about to get into the car, Noah's uncle happened to be leaving as well, surrounded by a group of bodyguards in black as he moved to his car.The woman who claimed to be Lumi clung to his arm, staring at me.Noah, who might have been upset with his uncle, remained silent, offering only a slight nod before getting into the car. Since his own nephew didn't say anything to him, I simply smiled at him before getting into the car as well.After we left, Lumi held onto the man's arm as she got into the car. Once inside, she affectionately called out, "William."She was about to say something when she suddenly sensed the chilling air from him, as if he could take her life in an instant. She immediately loosened her grip on his arm, not daring to say another word.The man was too unpredictable. He had always spoiled her, giving her anything she wanted because she had saved his life. Even if she asked for a star in the sky, he would

Irvin was a very handsome man.In fact, he still seemed like the better-looking one, even when compared with Noah's uncle. This was especially so when Irvin was well-dressed because he looked so attractive that it was hard to focus on anything else.The whole world seemed to brighten when he smiled. However, now that his brilliant smile had suddenly disappeared, the world seemed duller. It was enough to make one's heart ache.There was a saying online that good-looking people could never sin. No matter what they did wrong, their faces were enough to make one's mind go blank. Hence, it was advised to avoid falling in love with someone who was too good-looking.My heart ached involuntarily when I saw the happy look on his face shatter and his smile vanish. Perhaps it was because I had been vividly dreaming of our past affection these past few days after being hypnotized.Irvin handed me the flowers.Then, he laughed bitterly and said, "You know, don't you?""Yes," I replied evenly

After being together for seven years, Irvin was the person who understood me the most. He knew I tended to push unimportant people away. Bit by bit, I'd moved them to the edge of my life. Then, it would eventually reach a point where I would forget about them altogether.Previously in the lab, I had treated him distantly, like an acquaintance. Before then, he had still been deliberating on whether to proceed with his hypnotist plan. After that, he immediately decided to put his plan into action.Without waiting for my response, he looked me in the eye and said, "But Emi, I really can't allow you to forget me completely. I can't stand you looking at me like I'm a stranger—I just can't. "I don't know what I would do if there's truly no chance for us to be together again. I know what I did was wrong, but I couldn't help myself."Irvin wouldn't be able to control himself unless he was dead.I didn't know which of these was true—did he love so much that he couldn't bear to lose me?

Many companies regularly engaged in charity work, so I didn't read too much into Gideon's words.I simply said, "Then we should donate it under your company's name if you plan on doing charity."Gideon would be bearing all the cost, after all. Additionally, donating under his company's name would enhance its image. Not only that, it would also strengthen the company's brand and entitle it to tax benefits.Hence, it didn't feel right for me to take credit for the donation too. Besides, I wouldn't benefit from it in any way.Gideon chuckled softly at my words. "Do you really not understand what I was implying, Emi?" he asked.I stared blankly at him—I honestly had no clue.Realizing this, Gideon sighed and said, "Looks like I haven't made myself clear enough."His words made me think back to when I was treating Louis to a meal for helping me get released from the detention center. Back then, Louis had brought him along.I recalled the words Gideon had said to me at the time and w

I put my phone away and was about to get in the car.But then, I heard someone say, "Tsk, what a busy girl."The male voice was laced with sarcasm, which made me reflexively turn toward it.I froze when I saw who was leaning against the wall—it was Noah's uncle, Mr. Ashford."First, you managed to coax your ex-husband into willingly working for you for free. Next, you had the owner of a small pharmacy chain donate medical equipment for you. "Then, you spent the whole night conversing with an academic professor. And lastly, you still remembered to buy food for your 'little brother' before you went home."Tsk, tsk, tsk. Your methods and time management skills are truly impressive, Ms. Quill," Mr. Ashford stated.I was stunned. His comment about my time management skills wasn't wrong—my day had indeed been packed.But still…"Why do you know what I've been doing all day, Mr. Ashford?" I questioned.Had he been monitoring me?Mr. Ashford seemed to be able to tell what I was thi

The success of our experiment meant the AI chip we had developed was able to stimulate damaged nerves, similar to how a pacemaker worked. This also meant we would be able to help those who were paralyzed due to nerve damage. Our AI chip could help them walk again!"I knew you could do it, Emi! I always did!" Mr. Holland exclaimed.He was usually calm and composed. However, right now, he was so emotional that he hugged me. His eyes were even glistening with tears.Tears welled up in my eyes too. I finally felt I had lived up to Mr. Holland's confidence in me and the ambitious person I once was. I also hadn't let down the people who trusted and believed in me.Irvin had been keeping a close eye on our lab, so he was the first outside of it to hear about our success. When he did, he was even more excited than I was."You're truly amazing, Emi!" he exclaimed.Now that I had completed my research, he was happy because he could resume helping me regain my memories through hypnosis.

The cruise ship was already in international waters.I knew my kidnapper. He was Leo Kade.Leo was an investor who had repeatedly approached our research lab in the past. However, I kept rejecting his offer as I sensed he had ill intentions. We didn't lack funding, either. Thus, we never accepted his offers, regardless of how many times he approached us."You really are a genius among geniuses, Ms. Quill. In just a year, you've created a miracle. But it's such a waste to use your impressive breakthrough on disabled paraplegics. So how about you work with us instead? Together, we could make a lot of money in the future!" Leo said.He was a bad person, as I had suspected.Leo belonged to a major criminal organization. Their group wanted me to use my research to develop a chip that could control the human central nervous system. They intended to use it to infiltrate certain places. Then, it would be easier for them to carry out their criminal activities."Forget it!" I replied.It

Irvin's expression tensed, and he immediately grabbed me and started running toward the main deck.Unfortunately, I couldn't see clearly and stepped on a nail as we ran. The pain instantly paralyzed me. Seeing this, Irvin quickly hoisted me into his arms and continued running.People started to surround us from all directions. Irvin's men swiftly cut the power on the ship, plunging it into darkness. However, our opponents were well-prepared because the lights soon came back on.We were trapped!As I watched Irvin's men fall one by one, I urged him to put me down."They won't kill me because they need my expertise, but that isn't the same for you. You have to run!" I cried.With his skills, Irvin wouldn't have a problem escaping if he left me behind."No!" he firmly replied.Instead of releasing me, he tightened his hold and sprinted toward the main deck.I was about to struggle against him when he spoke again."These people belong to the largest criminal organization in the w

I really wanted to remarry and have a child as soon as possible. That being said, I still needed to choose a partner carefully. My child deserved good genes, and I wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future.Ideally, I was looking for someone highly intelligent, good-looking, and had decent character. I also wanted him to be career-oriented. Additionally, I wanted our marriage to be more like we just lived together and had a mutually beneficial relationship. To put it simply, it would be a marriage of convenience.However, finding the right person for this wasn't easy. Even after several days of searching, I still hadn't found a suitable candidate.Coincidentally, Cordelia was back again on a break.A thought occurred to me, so I asked her, "Do you know any single archaeologists with high IQs and a Ph.D? If so, do any of them think marriage is a hassle and don't want to live a traditional married life, but still have to get married for some reason?"Cordelia leaned back a

Noah was of mixed heritage. His mother was a pure-blooded Falvarian, so naturally, his grandfather was too.The moment I appeared on screen, Noah's grandfather didn't seem to want to waste too much time on me. He probably didn't see any need to.Cutting straight to the chase, he said, "Noah is the heir to the Hull and the Ashford families. You've already been married once. And even if you hadn't, someone like you could never be good enough for him.""I never thought of being with Noah," I replied flatly.Because of this, I felt there was no need for Noah's grandfather to target me.Noah's grandfather scowled at my words. He might not want his grandson to marry a divorcée like me. However, he found it even harder to accept that I had no interest in his grandson."In that case, why are you still leading Noah on? Don't claim you're unaware of his feelings for you!" he snapped.I was about to say I had never done so and had always plainly rejected Noah.But Noah's grandfather cut m

Julianne knew how terrible her fate would be once she was no longer of use to William.So, despite her reluctance, she admitted, "I know. So, don't worry. Even if I do speak of Emilia again, it won't be in a bad way."She sounded sincere, even though she would love nothing more than to destroy me. But to her, survival came first. She was living a good life right now and didn't want to ruin it because of me.Irvin could tell she truly understood, so he didn't lecture her further.He was about to go upstairs to look for me. But then, an important issue arose in Hardwell Group. He urgently needed to return to deal with it. So, Irvin could only text me and hoped I would forgive him.In his text, he explained that he felt indebted to Diana for raising him. So, he could never bring himself to personally send her only daughter to her doom.I didn't even read his text, let alone reply. I didn't want to be disappointed or hurt by him anymore. So, after he left, I focused on exchanging ide

Irvin still had more to say. But then he realized anything he said now would be pointless. Thus, in the end, he just gazed profoundly at me before silently leaving.I went to the restroom after Irvin left. And when I exited a stall to wash my hands, I looked at myself in the mirror. Seeing the unmistakable disappointment in my reflection, I couldn't help but laugh bitterly. I truly was pathetic.After splashing cold water on my face to wake myself up, I redid my simple makeup and headed back to the private dining room.As I was leaving the restroom, Grace happened to walk in. When she saw me, she smiled. "Hello, Ms. Quill."Since we were alone, I didn't feel like playing along. I kept walking, ignoring her completely.Seeing this, Grace stepped forward and blocked my path."I know my past behavior has hurt our relationship, Ms. Quill," she said. "But rest assured, it won't happen again," she said.Grace wouldn't bother me again because, truthfully, I wasn't even worth the trou

Irvin lowered his gaze.After a pensive moment, he replied, "Okay. I'll verify her true identity and send her to prison!"Irvin might have taken a moment to respond, but I still felt his reply was too decisive, which wasn't like him at all.I had known Irvin for a long time, so I knew he valued loyalty and kindness. That was why he still helped Julianne during her criminal trial even after learning the whole truth.Now, Julianne had distanced herself from our lives and even had a new identity. If Irvin could no longer associate with her, he could accept this and do it. However, he shouldn't have been able to agree so readily when it came to destroying Julianne's current life and sending her to prison.Thus, I studied him dubiously. And when he met my gaze, he instinctively looked away. I couldn't help but scoff at this."You know William has use for Julianne and that I don't actually want you to send her to prison, don't you?" I grilled him. "That's why you agreed so easily, is

During dinner, I excused myself to use the restroom. As I passed a private room, I was suddenly forcefully yanked inside. I was about to cry out, but then I met Irvin's worried gaze."I just got news you were in an accident and hospitalized yesterday. What happened, babe?" he asked.Irvin suspected Julianne wasn't the only reason I had been prevented from attending the academic exchange conference. Hence, he had someone look into why I was delayed from entering the hall. That was how he discovered I had fallen into the river and subsequently spent a night in the hospital.Upon learning this, he had immediately sent me an anxious text asking what had happened. However, I hadn't been checking my phone. So, naturally, I hadn't responded to his message.Irvin had figured I was probably too engrossed in exchanging knowledge with the professors and hadn't had the time to look at my phone. And since I had shown up without any apparent injuries, he had also assumed I was physically fine.

These prominent scholars might be able to speak eloquently during academic discussions, but they weren't fond of socializing. Hence, when invited to dinner, their first instinct was to decline.It wasn't until Professor Weiss explained that we would simply be continuing the day's discussion while eating—rather than it being a formal meal—that the scholars finally agreed to join us later that evening.Hungry for more knowledge, my attention was fully focused on these professors. All I could think about was what questions I could ask them over dinner. I was so focused that I didn't even notice Irvin repeatedly glancing at me as we left.We took a shuttle back to the official conference hotel. Then, after saying temporary goodbyes, we headed to our respective rooms to change.Once inside the room, Emma couldn't hold it in any longer."Oh my god!" she exclaimed. "I thought I was pretty smart because I had a high IQ. I had always been a top student and managed to get into one of the to

While I couldn't completely let go of Irvin, I was no longer the person I once was.Back then, I had placed love above all else, so loving Irvin had been the most important thing to me. I'd devoted myself to him and treated him like he was my entire world. He had been the source of all my emotions—from happiness to anger, and from sorrow to joy.Now, my top priority was my studies and research. I would never again give up the academic path I loved so deeply for anyone.…Julianne watched as Mitchell apologized to Professor Weiss and tried to curry favor with him. Then, she saw the way Professor Weiss treated me with warmth and respect. Hatred simmered behind her eyes. She felt life was so unfair. She had to work hard for everything she wanted, and yet those very things seemed to fall effortlessly into my lap. She didn't want to take any more risks. But despite this, she was so furious that she couldn't resist the urge to. She wanted to destroy me once and for all.Grace obse

Mitchell felt humiliated from having to apologize to me so publicly, so he was already in a bad mood. And when he heard the tone Julienne used with him, his expression soured even more."Who told you Ms. Quill is an academic fraud, Ms. Calder?" he shot back.Julianne clearly hadn't expected that. She was caught off guard by the question. Then, as though sensing someone's gaze on her, she turned her head. And when she spotted Irvin, she froze.Julianne had kept tabs on Irvin, but they hadn't seen each other face-to-face ever since she faked her death. So, their sudden encounter shook her.I lowered my gaze when I saw Julianne and Irvin lock eyes.I had recognized Julianne the moment I saw her. My family had too. Thus, I believed it would be the same for Irvin as well.Our relationship problems started because of Julianne, so they should end with her too.Having grown up together with Irvin, she knew she couldn't hide who she really was from him. Regardless, she couldn't admit she
