Chapter 565

Penulis: Millie Bridge
Among the Hardwells, Irvin had always thought Magnus was a decent person who held some real affection for him. But now, it seemed he had just been too naive, and it all had been his wishful thinking.

Irvin's bitter smile made me empathize with him. Not wanting him to feel worse by dwelling on it, I changed the subject.

"You knew beforehand that Timothy was going to use you as a scapegoat. Did you make any arrangements for it?" I asked.

Irvin had learned Timothy was still alive and intended to use him as a scapegoat to return to the Hardwell family. So, given his business skills, I had always believed he had to have prepared a contingency plan for this.

Sure enough, Irvin replied with, "I did. Don't worry. I won't let him pin his crimes on me."

Irvin had felt he was tainted and no longer had any future with me. Because of this, he had lost the will to live. Even so, he had still made contingency preparations after finding out he had been played by Timothy.

    Before Grace could even recover from the first blow and respond, her aide on the other end of the line received more news. This time, his voice trembled even more as he spoke, "Ms. Keller, all the other projects we worked on with Irvin have problems too. It's not just us anymore. The entire Keller family might go bankrupt!"He had no idea how things had turned out this way. Everything had happened so suddenly.In fact, these projects had the best resources and should have earned them a fortune. How had they turned into something that could destroy them?Still recovering from the earlier shock, Grace felt like she'd been struck by lightning again. She was frozen in shock.As someone smart and highly self-reliant, she had personally investigated everything over and over again, whether it was the project William handed her or the later ones she worked on with Irvin.She couldn't understand how everything had collapsed so suddenly.Timothy noticed her face had turned even paler t

    Irvin was smart, but so was Timothy. So when Timothy officially took over the Hardwell family, he discovered several hidden traps Irvin had left behind.But he didn't take them seriously. After all, he'd managed to manipulate Irvin easily last time, so he didn't see him as a threat at all. In fact, he believed that if William hadn't been helping Irvin, there was no way Irvin could've forced him to abandon his original plan and return to the Hardwell family earlier than expected.So Timothy stayed arrogant and didn't bother removing the traps. He wanted Irvin's efforts to be wasted for absolutely nothing.When Grace found out, she frowned and said, "I told you not to underestimate Irvin. Even if he's not a big threat on his own, he's working with William right now. Aren't you worried about that? Let's be honest. You just lost to him and had to come back."Normally, she wouldn't dare speak to him like that because of how terrifying and ruthless he was. But she was truly afraid that

    Back then, William knew how worried I was about Irvin. I was scared he'd never wake up, and that fear weighed on me constantly. William quietly took care of me in small ways, like making sure I ate properly, but never showed anything beyond that.But now, he knew that burden had finally lifted from my heart. It was time for him to put in a little more effort.When Ava heard what he said, she huffed teasingly, "Please, don't count me in as your princess. I asked you countless times to go shopping with me, and you always said no. "But now that Aunt Emi is going, you just show up without even being asked. Hmph! She's the only princess in your heart!"She was saying it to vouch for William, letting me know how important I was to him.And it was true. No matter how much Ava had begged him before, he never once had the time to go shopping with her.But she was just saying it playfully. She wasn't mad at all. William had always been incredibly busy. Sometimes she wouldn't even see hi

    Mom gave everything, but in the end, she raised the very person who caused the death of the man she loved and his only remaining child.How could she possibly accept that?She would rather die than face the truth. She was in such strong denial that even though she rationally knew everything was real, she insisted I had made it all up.She needed to shift all the guilt and unbearable pain onto me just so she could keep living like nothing had happened. But I wasn't who I used to be. I looked at her and smiled. "You can believe whatever you want. It doesn't matter. There's nothing you can do to stop me or save your precious Julianne," I said indifferently.That completely set her off again, just after she had barely calmed down."You witch! If I'd known you'd grow up to be so cruel and heartless, I would've strangled you the moment you were born!" she shouted.I pouted and said, "Well, that's on you then. You had the chance, and you didn't take it. Now, even if you want to, you c

    It was like Mom's mind got struck by lightning. It had gone completely blank.She didn't know how to process the truth or what to think. So she just stayed overwhelmed and felt numb.When I saw how deeply Henry loved his lost love, so much so that he was willing to sacrifice his life for her, I used to wonder how Mom managed to spend her whole life with him.But now I realize I was overthinking it. Henry never loved Mom. He only ever loved the one he lost. And it was the same for Mom too. No matter what Henry did, even if he cheated, she wouldn't be upset or hurt. Their marriage was never about love. They were just trying to settle.They were just like two people living together out of convenience. There was no affection between them. Naturally, there wasn't much love for the children either. The only exception was Jeremy. Since he could carry on the Quills' bloodline, and my Mom's side as well, they valued him. And that attention slowly turned into affection over time.As f

    Ava just couldn't understand it. She couldn't fathom how a mother like this could exist.Ava had lost her own mother when she was very young. But in her memories, her mother had been the gentlest and most loving person on earth.She used to believe that she and Noah were very pitiful because they had lost their mother at a young age. She had thought there was nothing sadder than growing up without a mother.But now, seeing how my birth mother behaved, Ava suddenly felt that motherless children weren't more pitiful. Instead, growing up with a mother like mine was much worse than growing up without one.This realization caused her heart to ache for me, and she couldn't help reaching over to grasp my hand.My expression hadn't changed at all. In fact, my gaze even held a hint of contempt as I watched Mom grovel.When Ava noticed this, her heart ached even more. She also knew I used to yearn for my parents' love as a child. So, she couldn't imagine how much hurt I must have repeatedl
