"And why not?" I asked.The Hardwells' staff had witnessed Timothy meeting his demise when he had saved Irvin—William had told me so."Judging from how shocked you were when you first saw me, you probably weren't aware I had an older twin brother. That means you also likely didn't know that he was a Hardwell," Irvin started to explain."You're my closest and most important person, so the fact that you didn't know about Timothy's existence means I definitely didn't know about him either. This also means Timothy and I had never met."Plus, humans are inherently selfish. Do you genuinely believe the real Timothy would sacrifice his life for a twin he had never met—especially when he was raised by the Hardwell family, who are known for their elitist and cold-hearted values?" he pointed out.In the time Irvin had spent in Hardwell Manor, he had gained some understanding of the family who lived there. Based on what he had learned about these people, it was impossible they would raise so

But I couldn't allow myself to feel this way.While Irvin had sacrificed himself to save me, he had also hurt me terribly. Was I supposed to just forget all the pain he had inflicted on me and love him like I did before?No, I didn't want to! I couldn't, and I was also afraid to!Even so, I also couldn't push him away.When I had lost my memories, I hadn't been able to fathom how I could possibly be such a lovesick fool.But now, I could only say to myself, "Those who have never loved deeply will never understand how hard it is to completely let go of the one you had once loved so dearly."This was especially so when that person hadn't been entirely cruel—when he had also loved you wholeheartedly, passionately, and without fear."Please wait for me, Emilia! Just wait until my legs are healed. Once I've dealt with the Hardwell family, we can be together openly and proudly!" Irvin pleaded.His eyes were shining as he looked at me. They were devoid of the closed-off indifference h

"Since you've figured out who I am, you also know I am the true heir of the Sawyer family. So, both of the companies you own belong to me! You better transfer their shares to me while I'm still asking nicely!" Amara demandedShe might have grown up spoilt in the Hardwell family, but the Hardwells favored sons over daughters. As such, she wouldn't receive any inheritance even if she had been born as a legitimate Hardwell, let alone as one who had been birth-swapped.When Amara learned she had been swapped with a boy named Irvin Sawyer at birth, she had immediately looked into him. And when her investigation revealed the Sawyers were a decently wealthy family, she had rushed over to me.She felt she would have been the sole heir of the Sawyer family if she hadn't been switched with Irvin when they were born. That was also why Amara believed she had a right to my companies.I couldn't help but think she was slightly deranged."Maybe you should check again, Ms. Hardwell. My companies

"Oh." William uninterestedly acknowledged.Then, he curtly told Amara he had other things to attend to and had to leave.Amara still wanted to say more but could only stomp her feet at the missed opportunity. She had finally met her dream man. Yet, she had only managed to say so few words to William before he left. She also wasn't sure if he had witnessed her unpleasant behavior.Amara was worried William might have heard how rudely she had spoken to me and that it would affect his impression of her. She felt she could have avoided this situation if I had only cooperatively signed the shares transfer agreement.And for that reason, Amara resented me even more. Her desire to squash me underfoot intensified.…I wanted to review the patient's medical records in the car on the way to meet him.Just as I was about to ask William if he had a copy, he said, "You told Irvin the truth, didn't you? You told him he's actually Irvin Sawyer and not Timothy Hardwell."My eyes widened in sho

"Tim, this is your favorite chowder. Here, have some." Grace placed the bowl of chowder in front of Irvin at Hardwell Manor.Irvin didn't even glance at it. "You need to rest well now that you're pregnant. The housekeepers are here, you don't have to do these things."Grace said with a smile, "Pregnant women need moderate exercise too. If I can't even do something this simple, I don't know what else I can do. I'd feel completely useless. The doctor said that negative emotions can affect the baby's development."As she spoke, she gently caressed her belly.Irvin still couldn't accept the fact that they had tried to hypnotize and brainwash him. He was convinced they were bad people.However, facing the pregnant Grace, who was also his sister-in-law, he couldn't bring himself to say anything harsh, especially given the circumstances. So, he remained silent."Tim, eat it while it's hot. It won't taste as good when it gets cold," Grace urged,As Irvin was eager to get her to leave, h

If there was no way to stop Irvin from regaining his memories, then the only option was to make sure that I disappeared for good.Although Grace had promised William she wouldn't harm me, she never actually intended to keep it. After all, she wouldn't do it with her own hands. There was no way for him to suspect her.Even if he did, she felt that by then, I would already be dead. He probably wouldn't go against the entire Hardwell family for my sake.Besides, she had also convinced him that she had saved his life once.…Unaware that Grace had uncovered the truth, Irvin was searching for information about me online. He had a feeling that he must have loved me deeply, as he was instinctively drawn to me even without any memory of me.But my attitude toward him told him that something unpleasant must have happened between us, something bad enough that I was ready to pretend as if I didn't know him.He was determined to find a way to win me back.To prevent Irvin from discoverin

William recalled that at the time of his accident, Cordelia and I had also been vacationing on the island.Although he didn't think it was possible, he instinctively asked anyway.I had assumed that William's intimidating presence on the way here was because he was angry at me for not answering his question.I never expected him to suddenly ask such a thing.Although I didn't know why, my first instinct was to admit that I had saved someone while I was on the island.But before I could say anything, his phone rang. It seemed like an urgent call. After answering it, he hurriedly told me he would send someone else to pick me up before leaving in his car.Feeling bad for troubling him when he was so busy, I sent him a message. I told him that he didn't need to send anyone and that I would call my own driver instead.William didn't reply to my text.Instead, Noah called. "Emi, there's an emergency at home. I have to leave for a while. Wait for me, I'll be right back." he said.W

I comforted Mr. Holland for a long time before he finally felt better and ate some oatmeal.When I got home that night, I pulled out Irvin's medical records and the reports of his treatment with various devices. I analyzed his responses to the treatment to plan the next steps. I wasn't sure how I felt about Irvin, so I chose to ignore it completely and focus solely on treating his legs.If his legs could recover and function properly again, we would be even. No matter what happened in the future, I would take it one step at a time.Things would work out eventually.By the time I finished comparing all the data and finalized the device frequency settings for Irvin's treatment the next day, it was already past 1:00 am.I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep immediately.Ever since my injuries from falling off the cliff, I needed sleeping pills to fall asleep every night. When I lost my memory, I thought my insomnia was due to the pain. But after my memories returned, I realized

"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

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
