Chapter 96

Author: Millie Bridge
The next morning, someone came to see me.

I thought it would be my lawyer, Mr. Stern, coming to work on my release.

But no—it was Irvin.

He looked like he hadn't slept a single minute. His usually sharp, magnetic eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed more disheveled and drained than I felt after spending a long, sleepless night in a holding cell.

When his gaze landed on my pale face, there was a flicker of something in his expression—regret, perhaps?

Before I could say anything, he spoke.

"I hope you've had time to cool off," he said, his tone measured. "It's not too late to do the right thing. Apologize now, and we can end this."

Hearing those words made me think back to the last time he'd cornered me like this, saying, "It's been three months, and you still haven't learned and reflected on yourself?"

    Humans never truly shared the same joy or sorrow.While Irvin was collapsing under the weight of his pain, Emilia was at home in Claudeville City popping champagne with William. They were celebrating because Mr. J had finally agreed to work with them, moved by William's sincerity."Now, all we need to do is lure them out and force them to take action on domestic soil," William said. "That will severely weaken them." He added, raising his glass of champagne to Emilia, "Then, we'll strike while the iron is hot. Even if we can't destroy them completely, we'll cripple them enough that they won't have the will or the ability to cause you trouble again."Emilia raised her own glass in return, looking at him with genuine sincerity. "Thank you, Mr. Ashford, for everything you've done. If there's ever anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."Even if it meant she had to go through hell or high water, she would give it her all.William knew how deeply Emilia

    Emilia felt momentarily dazed at City Hall as she looked at her and William's newly issued marriage certificate.She didn't want to think about it, but she couldn't help recalling the day she and Irvin had gotten theirs. They had been so happy back then and so excited.Suddenly, Emilia felt a sharp sensation in her chest, and it settled into a dull ache. She and Irvin had once believed they would grow old together. Who could've imagined that they would end up like this?He was having a child with another woman, while she was now married to another man.…Emilia and William had no intention of keeping their marriage a secret. In fact, they even wanted the public to know—especially Mr. J—so that he would fully trust William.Because of this, news of Emilia and William collecting their marriage certificate quickly spread across the internet, including the fact that he had transferred all his assets to her as a wedding gift.When Grace heard the news, she had another complete meltdo

    This scar had made William feel unworthy of warmth or happiness. Yet, he couldn't resist longing for and wanting to possess them.Once he returned to his room, he thought about how he and Emilia would be collecting their marriage certificate the next morning.William was about to become her lawfully wedded husband, at least for now. The thought made his heart race so wildly that no amount of deep breathing could calm him down. He was so excited that he couldn't even sleep at all that night.When the rising sun cast its glow on his face, it finally pulled him out of his excited daze. William couldn't help laughing when he realized that he really had been too wound up to sleep all night.He felt ridiculous. His current self was someone his past self would've never imagined. William was an eternal playboy who never got burned, but even he couldn't escape the fate of falling in love.By the time Emilia woke up, William was already in the kitchen making breakfast. Golden sunlight poure

    Although Mr. J hadn't shown anything in front of William, William was sharp enough to sense that something was off.So when he returned, before Emilia could say a word, he asked, "Mr. J doesn't trust me, does he?"She wasn't surprised that he had figured it out without her saying anything. He was incredibly perceptive.She nodded and repeated everything Mr. J had told her.After hearing that, William was silent for a moment before he asked, "If dating isn't enough to earn his trust, what about becoming husband and wife?"Emilia froze as she realized what he was implying.He continued, "We can register our marriage. I'll transfer all my assets to your name. That should be enough to show him I won't back out halfway."Emilia was already flustered to hear that he wanted to marry her, and now he was saying he would give her everything he owned.Their contractual marriage would benefit him too, especially in helping Noah let go of his fixation on her, but that was it. It was clear h

First, she had Irvin, an exceptional man who was completely devastated because of her and remained devoted to her.And now, she had found someone like William.William was someone Grace didn't even dare dream of getting close to. How could Emilia deserve that? How?The more she thought about it, the more the jealousy consumed her, making her feel like she was losing her mind.She knew she shouldn't be envious. It had been hard for her to get where she was, and all she needed to do now was focus on her pregnancy and safely deliver the baby.However, she couldn't help it.Grace was certain she was better than Emilia in every way.

    "I know you have a large business and probably don't care about such a small profit, but I still hope you'll accept it. Otherwise, I'll feel bad," Emilia said sincerely.Since she had already put it that way, William couldn't turn her down.Besides, he could always return what she gave him in the future, and double it. There was no need to keep refusing and make things awkward.After signing the contract and finalizing the details of their plan, they went to the most famous and romantic restaurant in Claudeville. Then, a staged photo of them quickly landed on the front pages of every major website.As people speculated whether they were truly a couple, given how close they looked, they made their official announcement while surrounded by reporters.Under the flashing lights, William held Emilia's hand tightly and said sincerely, "Yes, we're together, and we're getting married soon."Hearing the sincerity in his voice, her heart involuntarily skipped a beat.Although Emilia did
