The teacup clattered loudly against the floor, drawing everyone's attention to me.However, I was still frozen in shock. My body was trembling involuntarily as I stared at the man in the wheelchair."Irvin…" The name slipped from my lips.I had a strong urge to walk closer to the man so I could see his face more clearly.Just as I was about to do so, the pregnant woman blocked my path.Then, she looked at me gently and said, "I think you're mistaken, Ms. Quill. This is my husband, Timothy Hardwell."I snapped out of my daze with a jerk and reflexively looked at Timothy. I unconsciously took a step back when our eyes met, as his gaze felt utterly unfamiliar.Irvin would never look at me like that.Could it be that Timothy wasn't Irvin? But if he wasn't, why did they look exactly alike? Aside from his unfamiliar gaze, Timothy looked identical to Irvin in every other way!I wanted to say something, but I couldn't find the words.The Hardwells were a noble family that had lived i

According to Timothy's medical records, he had been in a car accident around the same time Irvin died.My eyes glossed over when I read this.I turned to Timothy and Mrs. Hardwell once I finished examining the documents.Then, I said, "Aside from the chip implantation procedure, we are also experimenting with external physical stimulation therapy. It's a non-surgical treatment and has few risks. "Based on Mr. Hardwell's medical records, his nerve damage doesn't seem extensive. Hence, he should be able to undergo this therapy."That being said, I will need to take his records back to our expert team for further evaluation. I'll update you with a definitive treatment plan once they complete their evaluation."Mrs. Hardwell was elated to hear there was a safer treatment option."Oh, please do, Ms. Quill. Thank you so much!" she happily exclaimed."Don't thank me yet," I replied.I glanced at Timothy once more before excusing myself. I then left after telling them I had other mat

"People want what they can't have, to the point where they might obsess over it," Me. Ashford said. "And the more out of reach the object of their desire is, the crazier that obsession becomes. "However, once they attain it, that desired item turns into something as plain as bread, regardless of how perfect it had initially seemed."He elaborated, "So, Noah's perfect impression of you will completely change if you start dating him. And eventually, he'll fall out of love with you and realize he can live without you."I found myself at a loss for words yet again. After a long pause, I said, "I only see Noah as a brother."The Noah I knew now was very different. I had met him when he was 13 years old, while he was still short and small. I had instantly regarded him as a little brother, and that impression remained deeply ingrained in my mind.To me, he was closer than my own family. Plus, I had no desire to date right now. And even if I did, I definitely wouldn't be able to develop

I was about to retort when Mr. Ashford spoke again."The pregnant woman with Timothy is his wife. They even have a child together. Do you plan on breaking apart the family just because of his face?" Mr. Ashford added.My eyes widened in shock."I have no such intentions!" I shot back indignantly.I wasn't even sure if Timothy was Irvin, but even if he was, I had just been caught off guard by the sight of someone who I thought was dead. My mind had been whirling as I struggled to process it all.I only wanted to confirm whether or not Timothy was Irvin. I never even thought of being with him, let alone being a homewrecker!Mr. Ashford glanced at me but didn't say anything further.Our food arrived just then, so I didn't say anything, either.…Mr. Ashford shot me a meaningful look after the meal, as if telling me to seriously consider what he had said. Then, he left.My mind wandered to his request as I watched his departing figure. Regardless, I also believed Noah and I were

The Global Technology Forum—or GTF—was a summit held once every three years. All nations around the world participated in it. This summit was like the Goringos of the technology industry and also the highest stage for scientific advancement.In just a few more minutes, our research would be revealed to the world. It would receive global attention and give countless paralyzed individuals the chance to walk again. The thought of this filled my team with excitement and joy.Mr. Holland was also in an unusually good mood today. The laidback old man had even forwent his usual casual attire and donned a suit and tie.We were about to go on stage and present our findings.Mr. Holland was so emotional that his eyes reddened with unshed tears.Patting my shoulder, he said, "I knew you could do it, Emi. I knew this day would come. You'll be able to connect with even more brilliant scientists through this summit, which will help you progress even further."You'll soar farther and higher i

At the VIP section of the conference hall, Noah exclaimed, "Look at her, Uncle Will. Isn't she incredible? She's absolutely dazzling!"His eyes were practically sparkling as he watched me shine on stage.Mr. Ashford sat beside him. Instead of responding, he leaned back lazily in his chair. His gaze was fixed on me as I presented on stage.Noah spoke again."I didn't go looking for Emilia because I'm chasing some dream, Uncle Will. I don't want to be with her short-term—I want to stay with her forever. I know what Grandfather expects of me, and I promise I will do everything to meet his expectations."So, please—don't stand between me and Emilia. Please don't stop us from being together. I can become the greatest man in the world with her by my side. But without her, I'm nothing—I'm worse than trash."Picking up on the underlying threat behind Noah's words, Mr. Ashford laughed mockingly.Then, he retorted, "Forever, you say? But tell me, kid, does she want the same thing as you?"

There were also intimate-looking photos of me and Shaun. Similarly, these photos had also been carefully framed to make regular interactions appear improper. They were deliberately made to deceive, especially the one of us entering a hotel near the university.Before I could recover from my shock, Lyle Gilbert pointed a knife at his abdomen.Lyle was one of my senior in the same program as me and had been on stage with me as a fellow presenter.His expression was filled with pain and despair as he cried out, "I'm sorry, everyone, for ruining the event, but I just can't take it anymore!""The credit for this research was supposed to belong to me and my fellow researchers. I was the reason we had our breakthrough. "However, Mr. Holland forced us to give Emilia Quill all the credit. If we refused, he said we wouldn't graduate. We tried everything, but we weren't able to change his mind. Thus, this was the only path left for us to take!"I stared with my mouth agape as Lyle spewed l

However, no one seemed to be listening.The truth didn't matter when a person was willing to die for a cause—all that mattered was that the person had been desperate enough to do so.After all, who would go so far if they hadn't been wronged? Would people feel the need to be self-destructive if they hadn't been utterly driven to despair?This sort of thinking remained at the forefront of people's minds, making them dismiss all contradictions. Everything they heard sounded false. It didn't matter if the evidence was right in front of them—they would reject it because they only wanted to believe what they had decided was true.And since the Global Technology Forum had been live streamed, it wasn't long before the whole country learned about what had happened.The internet erupted with outrage toward me in an instant. People on the internet nicknamed me "academic seductress". They were horrified that I had stolen someone else's research and then dared show my face at such a prestigio

"Ms. Quill, you—" Grace sputtered.From her expression, I could tell she wanted to say, "You really will say anything to save your pride. How will you get in if you won't follow us?"Just then, a few people walked out of the hall. At the lead was an elderly man with white hair.Upon seeing me, the elderly man's stern expression morphed into a smile. "Emilia! You're here!"I returned the smile and walked up to greet him, "Hello, Professor Weiss."I had met several influential figures during the Global Technology Forum in Lestoria. Among them, I had gotten along best with this man, Professor Richard Weiss.After exchanging pleasantries, Professor Weiss turned to Mitchell and asked, "Who is this man? What gives him the right to bar you from attending the conference and call you an academic fraud?"Professor Weiss was the biggest name in the physics field. He was someone everyone respected and dared not offend.Hearing this, Mitchell quickly explained, "It was a misunderstanding! I

"Of course!" Grace said.Moving to my side, she linked her arm with mine in a friendly gesture. It was as though we were on very good terms.She continued, "Not only is she an incredibly skilled researcher, but she's also my sister-in-law—which means she's also a member of the Hardwell family. So, Mr. Slate, any accusations of her being an academic fraud must be a misunderstanding!"Upon hearing how solemn Grace was, Mitchell couldn't help but look at me."If you aren't an academic fraud, then why would Ms. Calder say that about you?" he asked.I coolly returned his gaze. "That's a question for Ms. Calder, not me."Mitchell frowned and looked displeased. He clearly hadn't expected that answer.Grace turned to me and said, "Alright, Emi. Let's go inside together!"Her expression read, "Come on. I'll bring you in."Irvin didn't understand why I hadn't been allowed in despite having an invitation. He also didn't know why I had been mistaken for an academic fraud and was being bar

I looked down at my phone and was zooming in on the image of the data. But before I could even take a good look at it, Emma squeezed my arm."Holy crap! Emilia. Isn't that your ex-husband's brother!" she exclaimed.I instinctively looked up—just in time to see Irvin opening the car door and courteously helping Grace get down.Grace flashed a gentle smile at Irvin, then linked arms with him. To onlookers, that intimate gesture made them look like a loving married couple.I thought back to how Irvin had been near tears when we had met on the first snowfall of the season. Yet now, he was holding another woman's arm and playing the role of her devoted husband.I couldn't even describe how I felt at that moment.Then, I recalled how much Irvin had despised Grace before. Yet, in just a month, he managed to make it look like they were happily married. I feared it wouldn't be long before he began to feel sympathy for her. And then, per Grace's scheme, Irvin would eventually truly becom

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
