"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

Grace knew William had been attending to something important in Redwood. That was why she had chosen this time to make her move. However, she hadn't expected him to drop everything and return to Lestoria when he learned what had transpired.William's reaction didn't seem proportionate when I was just the apple of Noah's eye.Catching the veiled meaning behind Grace's words, William's gaze darkened, but he didn't take the bait. Instead, he coldly said, "I believe I told you you're not allowed to harm her."Grace chuckled again, but this time, it sounded bitter."Did I, though? Can't you see I'm the one that's in a hospital bed? Surely you spoke to the doctors before coming in? So you should know I almost bled to death yesterday, Mr. Ashford," she replied.William scoffed icily. "Didn't you bring that upon yourself?"Grace should have admitted herself to the hospital if her baby had issues. If she had stayed and followed through with the induced termination procedure, then none of

After discovering their hypnosis attempts had failed, Grace had started thinking about how to make Irvin willingly stay. She had also tried to figure out how to convince him to assume Timothy's identity and play her husband.Grace needed him to do so so that she could keep her status as a Hardwell.While she did say all those things to garner William's sympathy, the things she said were also all true.She was born into a prestigious family in Lestoria—one that was second only to the Hardwells. However, Grace's father had brought his mistress home after her mother had passed away. Then, once this mistress became her stepmother, Grace could no longer call her house her home. Additionally, her brother had died because of her stepmother.Grace had to keep her status as a Hardwell for her and her brother's sake. She needed to do so to seize back everything that rightfully belonged to them. That was why she was adamant on remaining as Mrs. Hardwell.While she was racking her brain to

Irvin felt conflicted as he looked at Grace.Moments before Timothy had died, he had entrusted Irvin to take good care of her and his son. And from Timothy's reluctance to leave them behind, Irvin could tell how much he had loved them.Yet, Grace was so ruthless and had even used her own child just to harm me.After sending Dorothy out of the room, Irvin placed the examination report in front of her.Given that they were both intelligent, Irvin got straight to the point."Withdraw the lawsuit," he demanded.Placing her bowl down, Grace dabbed her mouth before responding with, "Why should I?"It seemed she had chosen to be obstinate until her hand was forced.Seeing this, Irvin replied, "You knew your baby had a heart defect, and you didn't intend to keep him. So you decided to use the child to frame my wife! Emilia never pushed you! Also, you know very well that I'm her husband—not yours!"Grace stared at him blankly.Irvin frowned and was about to say something when she star
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 321
Grace looked utterly weak, hurt, and innocent. However, Irvin knew how terrifying she actually was.Despite her fragile and sorrowful appearance, he knew what she truly meant by her words was, "So what if you have evidence that my child needed to be terminated? What does it matter that you can prove I had intentionally tried to frame Emilia Quill? "Can you sue me with that evidence? Can you use it to prove Emilia didn't push me and that she's innocent?"Irvin forced himself to calm down before asking, "What do you want?"Grace knew his patience was running out. She was also aware that her innocent and pitiful act might backfire if she kept it up.She stopped pretending and plainly said, "I believe you've already looked into me thoroughly by now and know about my family situation."Yes, Irvin did.Grace continued, "My husband is dead, and I've lost my child. So, I can forget about being the future matriarch of the Hardwell family because very soon, I will mean nothing to them, g

Irvin didn't answer me the entire ride.Once we reached where I was staying, I couldn't help asking him again.Only then did he finally reply, "I had to agree to a deal.""What deal?" I asked."I have to keep pretending to be Timothy and be in a nominal marriage with Grace until she takes back control of the Keller family."Then, Irvin gave me a rough explanation of the Kellers' situation.I didn't know what to say in response, so I was silent for a long time.Suddenly, Irvin gripped my hand and begged, "Please wait for me, babe."He needed to play Timothy, who was married to Grace. So, naturally, he couldn't continue being intimate with me.Because of this, Irvin hoped I could wait until he helped Grace succeed with her plan. He also hoped I could wait until he had taken full control of the Hardwell family too. That way, no one could threaten us again.But did I want to? No, I didn't, and I wouldn't.In fact, I even felt like God was helping with my indecisiveness because i

Tears instantly welled up in Irvin's eyes."But, babe… Haven't we been getting along well?" he argued.It was true. We had been getting along when he still had amnesia from the hypnosis."You said you'd consider getting back together with me once my legs healed. And I only agreed to Grace's deal because I had no other choice. I did it for you, babe!" Irvin continued, sounding wronged.He had only accepted Grace's deal to get me released. Yet, now that I had been, I was casting him aside."I won't be grateful to you for getting me released from police custody, Irvin, because you're the reason I was in there in the first place," I flatly stated."If you feel that I'm being unfair to you, you can always break your deal with her and let her put me back in," I added. "I have other ways to get out, so I don't need you to sacrifice yourself for me."The person my lawyer contacted had already gotten back to me. He owned a company group that had a research lab. So, if I agreed to join th

"My deal with Grace is a win-win situation!" Irvin reasoned.Then, as though thinking of something else, he added, "Actually, it's more than that. I'd also be repaying the debt I owe Timothy. I haven't told you yet, but Timothy really did give his life to save mine, even though he had never met me before!"Maybe it was because of our blood bond, but he seemed to know who I was when he saw I looked identical to him. And when Timothy realized we were twins, he didn't hesitate for a second to sacrifice himself to save me."More tears pooled in Irvin's eyes. He couldn't help recalling how Timothy had shielded him and died for him.William was emotionally detached because he had grown up in a cold and harsh world.Unlike him, Irvin had been raised in a bubble of love and privilege. Later on, he became a powerful CEO and even experienced all sorts of hardships. Despite this, he was still slightly childish, sincere toward others, and valued relationships.And because of this, Irvin woul

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.
Love You Like I Used To? Forget It! Chapter 377
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
