Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 310
The young man's ability to stand again had filled his family with overwhelming joy. Coincidentally, it was also his 17th birthday, so they threw a grand birthday party and invited me to attend.I couldn't refuse. I was genuinely happy for him, so I went.Since his family was acquainted with William, they were undoubtedly influential figures in Lestoria. Therefore, the Hardwells were also invited.When I saw Grace pushing Irvin's wheelchair into the venue, attending the party as a married couple, I felt a sharp pain in my heart.I must really be a hopeless romantic.I had planned to use the time spent treating Irvin's legs to treat my withdrawal symptoms from him. I wanted my final decision to be cutting him out of my life completely.But instead of letting go—as I had hoped—the time we spent together only reminded me how good he once was to me.Even though I knew he had no choice, my heart still ached to see him with another woman.I truly…I really hated how I was. It made me

"How could you take advantage of your position to seduce my husband! How could you knowingly become the other woman!" Grace accused.The photo she showed me on her phone was from when Irvin hugged me tightly after standing up from his wheelchair.When I first saw it, I was stunned. But then, it hit me—we had been watched this whole time!Based on the direction the photo was taken from, it could have only been taken from outside my work studio's window. And given that my studio was on the 10th floor, there was no way a random passerby snapped the photo by chance.Plus, the camera angle of the photo indicated it wasn't a coincidental shot. Someone had clearly been watching us from a floor above in the adjacent building.I also realized I had never closed the curtains in my studio. So, if someone had been watching us the entire time, they definitely knew Irvin had long since regained full use of his legs—which meant the Hardwells no longer needed my services.Thus, here came the poi

When Agatha's beloved son, Timothy, had abruptly passed away, she had been in so much anguish that she didn't even want to continue living.It was only because of her grandson in Grace's belly that she remained level-headed and kept herself going.Hence, Agatha didn't dare imagine what she would do if something happened to her precious grandson. She truly couldn't bring herself to even think about it."Help! Quickly! Help her!" Agatha shrieked.Irvin couldn't be bothered to keep up the act of being paralyzed, given the situation. Hurriedly scooping Grace into his arms, he sprinted out of the ballroom with her.He knew I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences if something happened to her and her unborn child.Everyone was stunned by what they saw."Timothy" had been confined to a wheelchair the entire time. Then, he suddenly stood up and ran off while carrying his wife.No one knew if they had just witnessed a miracle resulting from his love for her or if it was something els

Dorothy had accompanied Grace all this time.Before I could say anything, she pointed at me and shouted, "It's her! Emilia Quill is this bitch, right here! Not only did she try to seduce Mr. Timothy, but she even pushed Ms. Grace down!"Oh my, Ms. Grace has suffered so much! Her pregnancy had finally stabilized when she reached 5 months, and she could sleep soundly again. But then this crazy woman pushed her! You must punish this wicked woman, officers! She must be severely punished!" she exclaimed.Dorothy's cries were so sorrowful that everyone believed I had pushed the pregnant Grace over. This was an unforgivable and heinous crime that deserved the harshest punishment.And given Grace's status, if the officers handled this well, they would also win the favor of the Hardwell family.After Dorothy's outburst, party guests began stepping forward and testifying that I had gotten into a conflict with Grace. They also said I had indeed pushed her.The many eyewitnesses present conf

Irvin remembered it all.He remembered how immensely shocked his twin brother, Timothy, had been when they saw each other onboard the cruise ship. Irvin also remembered how Timothy had sacrificed himself for him.Before, when Irvin still had amnesia, he had judged the situation like any ordinary person would.Despite being twins, he had believed Timothy would be unfeeling toward him, given that they had never met. As such, Irvin had assumed Timothy couldn't have possibly died to save him.He had also been convinced there was something off about the story when the Hardwells' staff claimed Timothy had really saved him.However, now that Irvin had recalled what had happened, he felt ashamed for being so petty and suspicious.The two of them weren't just brothers but twins. And despite having never met, Timothy had unhesitatingly given his life for Irvin.Irvin also recalled Timothy's final words before he died. In his last moments, Timothy had entrusted Grace and his unborn child t

Oddly enough, I calmed down and was no longer overwhelmed by panic.Maybe it was because I had racked my brains, but I still couldn't find a way to prove my innocence. Perhaps it was also because I had reached an absolute dead end and had no way forward. Or maybe it was because I realized this was already the worst-case scenario.When my lawyer came to see me, I gave him someone's contact information and asked him to get in touch. It was a road I wasn't willing to take, but if it came down to it, I would have no choice but to do so.…Early next morning, I had a visitor.I thought it was Irvin, but unexpectedly, it was William.In all honesty, William was frighteningly perceptive. I hadn't said a thing when he entered, yet with just one glance, he already knew what I was thinking."Didn't expect it was me instead of your beloved ex-husband, did you?" he said.I sat there dumbly in a detainee uniform.William clicked his tongue after taking in my appearance."I told you to be
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 316
Hearing that William shared the same thought as me, I asked, "Are we able to find out more about the baby's condition prior?"If we could uncover that the baby's health had already been in jeopardy and that Grace had to terminate the pregnancy either way, we might be able to prove my innocence."I already have people looking into it, but don't get your hopes up," he replied."For starters, Hardwell Group is the largest medical conglomerate in the country. All of Grace's prenatal care was done in their own hospitals," William explained. "So, there's almost no way for us to get her real medical records."He added, "And even if we do manage to, and there's proof that there was something wrong with her baby, it still won't prove that Grace tried to frame you, let alone that you didn't push her."The key to this case is whether or not you push her. You're in police custody right now. So, in order to be released, you either need solid evidence that you didn't do so, or the victim drops

"Don't worry. There's no way I will let you go to prison!" William declared.He froze as soon as the words left his mouth.William had always been cold and detached. He was the kind of man who would step over a dying person and simply continue on his way. Aside from his niece and nephew, he had never helped anyone. To him, everyone else was expendable.Yet now, upon hearing I was in trouble, William had rushed back to Lestoria without leaving word behind. Not only that, he had even made me that promise.Realizing his emotions had slipped, William's gaze turned frosty."I'll help you one last time, for Noah's sake. And I hope after this, you'll stay away from your ex-husband. Otherwise, don't say I didn't warn you if you end up in a worse situation next time," he added.Then, he got up and left without waiting for a reply.His words were harsh, but I knew he meant well. I also knew he was a good uncle.William was willing to help me out of my current situation because his love f

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
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 375
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
