Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!의 모든 챕터: 챕터 21 - 챕터 30

While waiting for the test results, I couldn't help but ask about Mr. Holland. Back when I decided to drop out of school and venture into business, the disappointment in his eyes haunted me to this day, making me too afraid to contact him even after all these years.All I've ever dared to do was send occasional holiday greetings in the group chats we were both in.Mr. Holland had really put all his heart into teaching me back then. He was already established in the industry, so he didn't need to take on graduate students anymore, but he made an exception just for me. He was the second person in the world to treat me well, aside from Grandma.However, I dropped out after being accepted into the graduate program with him as my mentor. The only reason I did that was to take care of Irwin, as he was too busy to do so himself when he first started his company. Back then, he often had stomach issues, so I wanted to be there for him.My memories were coming back to me now. I remembered ho

I tried to shake him off, but his grip was tight. I didn't dare to struggle too hard, so I looked at him coldly. "Let me go. I'm not going to apologize."Irvin frowned. "Would you rather go to jail instead?"He'd thought that it was just an accident; he only found out that I had supposedly pushed Julianne into the pond because of Simone's shouting earlier."Did you know that you almost killed Lianne?" he demanded. "I've already told you that I won't have anything to do with Lianne anymore. Why did you still go after her and push her into the pond?"Why did you have to be so cruel, Emilia? Why can't you show Lianne some kindness?"Once again, he blamed me for everything, just like my diary said. No matter what happened between me and Julianne, he would always take Julianne's side without looking into the matter.My parents and Jeremy were the same. Ever since Julianne turned up in my life, everything was my fault. I was always the wrong one, the malicious one, the one who couldn't

Now, the shares were the first thing that Dad thought of. He was so eager to get that 10% share for Julianne.It was as if the 10%, which was worth billions, were nothing more than 10 dollars that he could take from me effortlessly.I didn't know when I gave them the idea that my money was free for them to take.Even though Julianne's expression remained unchanged, I saw her clutching her blanket with barely concealed excitement.I'd thought that she had pushed me into the pond in the spur of the moment, driven by her anger. It seemed like I had been too naive.If this was premeditated, that meant that she would've found another way to lure me to the pond one way or another if I hadn't gone near it yesterday. She might even orchestrate something else to make it look like I had harmed her, and then use the opportunity to make my parents force me to give the shares to her.She was the one who wanted me dead, but she managed to make it look like it was the other way round.This w

Irvin's expression changed suddenly. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He just gave me a look of helpless indulgence, like he was looking at a toddler throwing a tantrum.It disgusted me to no end.Once everyone had left, Julianne immediately extended her hand toward me. "Let me see."She wanted to confirm whether I had actually recorded anything.Graciously, I played the recording from last night to her. Julianne wouldn't have let me off so easily after I humiliated her at the birthday celebration and ruined her reputation. Knowing that, I had retreated to a secluded corner, both to take a break and to wait for her to come and find me.I just hadn't expected her to act so ruthlessly in public.I'd almost died.The recording played the entire incident, from the moment Julianne came to me to talk until she pushed me into the pond and fell in herself. Her expression was grim. If I released this video, it wouldn't just expose her true natu

"I don't mind you painting me as some kind of demon in front of Irvin at the cost of your own health," I continued, "but don't try and harm me physically again, like pushing me into a pond or something. Otherwise, I'll publicize this video and make sure you never recover from the damage!"I wanted Julianne to help me end my marriage quickly, but I didn't want her to end me. My body was far too delicate for that. I didn't want to be harmed because of this marriage or anything else.With that, I left without waiting for an answer, leaving Julianne looking gloomy behind me.When I got home, I took a shower and was just about to go to bed for a nap when I found Irvin in my living room.I frowned. "How did you get in?"I'd changed my passcode. How did he get in?If he'd cracked the code, it should've taken more time, especially since I'd changed the passcode to something that was completely unrelated to any of my previous ones."You must be hungry. Come on, I brought you your favorit
