Chapter 333

Author: Millie Bridge
I didn't know how to explain everything to Jeremy, and when I saw Henry helping Grandma out, I decided I didn't want her to find out about the mess online.

So I just said, "I'll handle it, okay? You don't have to worry about it right now. Let's just focus on celebrating Grandma's birthday."

Jeremy looked like he still wanted to say something, but when he saw Grandma coming, he swallowed his words.

Henry smiled when he saw me. "Emi, you're back."

It was strange.

Back when Julianne was still around, Henry adored her—he practically worshiped her. He even went out of his way to sabotage me just to get Mom to like Julianne more. And when Julianne "died", he hated me so much that he looked ready to kill me.

But after finally accepting her death, it was like he turned into a different person. He wasn't like Mom, still stuck in the past, hating me for Julianne. Instead, he seemed almost guilty.

Henry started acting like he wanted to make it up to me—always checking in and being overly k

    Jeremy immediately lit up, smiling as he warmly welcomed Julianne—no, Lumi—into the family. His sudden change of attitude made Julianne even more smug. She looked at me with a mocking glint in her eye as if to say, "Emilia, you're pathetic. You had two years, and you still ended up a joke. The moment I showed up, your family stopped caring about you again." My eyes darkened, and my hands, hanging loosely at my sides, slowly curled into fists. I didn't care about these so-called family members anymore. But that didn't mean I could stomach Julianne. She had repeatedly tried to get me killed. The reason I had suffered a life-threatening injury in the first place was because of her. Even if I couldn't kill her outright, I still wanted her to suffer as much as possible. It made my blood boil to see someone who should be rotting in prison walking around free and proud. But Noah once told me that Julianne wasn't William's real savior or his girlfriend. The only reason William ke

    When I reached the ballroom, the once lively and elegant room was a complete disaster. Grandma was being yanked around by Amara, forcing Grandma to watch a video on her phone. Cordelia was shoved to her knees off to the side, her mouth covered by two men in black suits.Mom, Henry, Jeremy, and the rest of the guests were huddled on the floor, squeezed against the walls under the pressure of two rows of bodyguards, too scared to move. "You old hag, open your eyes! Look at what your precious granddaughter's done—seducing a married man, pushing his pregnant wife down, and causing a miscarriage! She was five months pregnant, and Emilia still shoved her! How vicious! How evil! She deserves to die!" Amara yanked at Grandma so hard she could barely stay on her feet. "Stop spouting nonsense! Emi would never do something like that! Let me go—let me go!" Grandma shouted.She fought to break free, but Amara only tightened her grip. Seeing Grandma stumble like she was about to fall,

    Henry couldn't take it anymore either. "That's enough," he said. "This isn't Emi's fault. Why are you hitting her? She already feels guilty enough! And no matter what, she's your daughter. How could you tell her to die? You're really…"Henry swallowed the rest of his words. He was also worried about Grandma. So he didn't want to argue with Mom any further.Despite all his flaws, he had always been a devoted son to Grandma.Meanwhile, Julianne, who had followed us there, took out her phone and recorded me breaking down. After sending the video out, she began rewatching it, indulging in my pain."Emi, this is just the beginning," she murmured. She truly believed that the heavens were on her side.Julianne had been longing for revenge but lacked the power to do anything. She was also afraid that if William found out, he'd leave her, and she'd lose everything.Just as she was torn and unsure of what to do, the Hardwells showed up as a perfect ally. She didn't even have to lift a fi

    I turned and saw Grace standing on the stairs, looking down at me like I was a bug she could crush with a single finger.My hands clenched into fists instinctively at my sides. Noticing them, she let out a mocking laugh. "Ms. Quill, are you regretting your disrespect last time?"I stayed silent, my fists tightening.Assuming that I didn't have the courage to talk back to her, she smirked even more condescendingly. "Hopefully this will be a lesson for you. When it's time to kneel, you kneel."Grace came from a prominent family and married into the wealthiest family in Lestoria. No one had ever dared speak to her the way I did at the hospital.It had enraged her so much that she flew all the way here herself, even after sending Amara to do her dirty work. She wanted to see with her own eyes how miserable and regretful I'd become for provoking her.Even so, I didn't kneel.She raised an eyebrow and asked, "What? Still don't realize you should be kneeling, Ms. Quill? Or are you ho

    Grace's custom-made designer coat was now covered in dirty footprints from my shoes. She looked completely disheveled. After being helped up by her bodyguards, it took her a long while to recover.Back then, at the Lestoria Hospital, I merely talked back to her, and she couldn't handle it. She lost her composure and came all the way here. Now that I had actually hit her, it completely pushed her over the edge. "Emilia, just you wait!" she screamed. "I'll do everything I can to destroy you!"She had no idea where I got the nerve to do that to her.I had only shown her a bit of disrespect, and she retaliated by sending Grandma to the emergency room. So, wasn't I supposed to be scared of her? Shouldn't I be begging for mercy?How dare I fight back?How dare I?With such a lowly identity and status, I had actually hit her.In her entire life, no one had dared to even point a finger at her. And yet, I hit her?The more Grace thought about it, the more unhinged she became. Her ey

    "Mr. Timothy…" Dorothy wanted to say more, but the moment she met Irvin's deadly cold gaze, her words caught in her throat.She didn't know why, but even though Irvin was supposedly the fake heir raised in a lowly household outside, he sometimes exuded a presence even more terrifying and condescending than the real Timothy.Just one glance from him was enough to silence her.Irvin walked toward me. "How's Grandma?" he asked.I couldn't bring myself to greet him warmly. After all, this chaos started because of him.He seemed to read my thoughts and instinctively said, "I'm sorry, Emi."Then, he quickly added, "When I heard about Grandma, I rushed over with Professor John, a top expert in this field. Let's have him take a look at her, okay?"There was no way I could turn down something that might help Grandma. So, I led Professor John inside right away.Irvin knew me far too well.Even without seeing me, he could always guess exactly what I was thinking. He knew what he had to d

    Dorothy thought that the way Irvin and I acted was proof that we were both raised in lowly households. We were tactless and utterly lacked the grace expected of those in high society.Although Dorothy was a housekeeper, working in one of the most elite families had inflated her sense of importance.To her, true members of high society were always dignified and elegant. Whatever they did, they would first consider the consequences and how their actions might affect their social networks.They would always act with restraint. She had never seen anyone so recklessly crossing the boundaries of social classes. She simply couldn't understand how a low-born girl dared lay hands on someone of higher status.After Dorothy was dragged away, Irvin took my hand and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here."He wanted to protect me, but I wasn't moved by it. If it hadn't been for him, none of this would have happened.I yanked my hand away. "Mr. Hardwell, please remember your identity."He was n

    Grace turned to me once Agatha had calmed down.The wildness in her eyes from earlier, after I had hit her, was gone. In its place was a deceptively soft gaze. Despite this, I felt as though there were countless sharp arrows aimed at me. If looks could kill, I would already be full of holes now.Unlike Agatha, who merely wanted to hurt me out of spite, Grace seemed to be after something more.As she looked at Irvin with an aggrieved expression, Grace said, "I just want justice for what she did to me, Tim. If you won't allow me that, I'll go to the police."When she glanced back at me, she looked like a venomous snake in the dark, poised to strike and sink its fangs into me at any moment."You're looking at at least ten years in prison, Ms. Quill, if I report you," she indirectly threatened with her gaze fully on me.Grace had already gotten me arrested once, even though I hadn't pushed her. But this time, I had violently raised my hand against her. Given who she was, she would su

    "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
