Semua Bab Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!: Bab 321 - Bab 330

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

"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

Following my success at the Global Technology Forum, the AI chip and frequency-based therapy device I had developed had caught the interest of several countries. That meant I would need to scale up the production of these inventions because the prototypes we had put together in our lab weren't enough.In other words, we needed to look into mass manufacturing them in order to cater to demand.Naturally, when such an obvious profit-making venture hit the radar, many came knocking on my door after the summit.From there, I had entered into a partnership with a quality manufacturer. However, after only three production batches, they already wanted to hike up their prices and asked for a bigger cut of the profits.This wasn't the kind of company I could build a long-term partnership with, so I was about to start scouting for potential new partners. But I didn't expect William to already know about it.Hence, I looked at him in astonishment.William smirked and raised his wine glass to

Before I could say anything, William said, "Someone will hand the child over to the police."Then, he instructed his driver to depart.We traveled some distance before William turned to me."If I really did intentionally destroy that man's family like he claimed, would you think I deserved to die?" he asked.I was caught off guard. I hadn't expected him to ask that kind of question.When I didn't respond right away, William pressed, "Well?"Seeing that he really wanted an answer, I thought it over for a moment and then said, "I don't know how to judge whether or not you deserve to die. To me, you're a good person, Mr. Ashford. "You've raised Noah well too. That alone makes me think you're not someone who would intentionally destroy another family. Even if you did, I'm sure you must have had your reasons."William huffed. "You think I'm a good person?"It seemed this was the first time someone had said that about him."You do know the only reason I've helped you is because of

In short, Grace was claiming neither I nor Agatha were at fault for what happened to her. Instead, she was the one to blame because she had failed as a mother.Grace was a delicate and ethereal beauty. She had worn a white dress in the video, which had only made her look even more delicate and pure.Her eyes had also been red with unshed tears when she said it was all her fault, which created a touching image so strong that anyone who watched her video couldn't help but cry.Everyone who watched her video felt Grace was pitiful and hadn't had it easy. They also felt she was too forgiving.The surveillance footage clearly showed me pushing her. Yet, she claimed she had fallen because she had lost her balance. On top of that, she even took full accountability for her miscarriage. Hence, people felt she was too kind of a person.For a time, people on the internet felt sorry for Grace. They all felt she was too good-hearted for this world.But then, someone asked, "Didn't Emilia Quil
