Semua Bab Love You Like I Used To? Forget It!: Bab 501 - Bab 510

William's agitation caused Irvin to frown. Sensing something bad had happened, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen to Emi?"Irvin initially had arranged for someone to follow me in secret. But after I got engaged to William, he withdrew his people to avoid affecting our relationship. Because of that, Irvin didn't know I was missing. He had simply guessed from William's anxious demeanor that something had happened to me.Men usually understood each other better.Irvin could tell William wanted to marry me because he genuinely cared about me. So, for William to be this restless and even come looking for him, it had to be about me.William was a powerful man, but he had never acted macho. He definitely wouldn't let his rivalry with Irvin stop him from telling him what was wrong. Even his pride couldn't stop him from allowing Irvin to help, not when my safety was at risk."Emi is missing!" he revealed.Despite being mentally prepared, Irvin's heart clenched tightly when h

When the slim man saw my reaction, his smile only became gentler, disarmingly so. "Don't be afraid, Ms. Quill," he said. "We didn't bring you here to hurt you. You know, we just admire your research so much. We want to collaborate with you and have more breakthroughs for the betterment of all mankind."Without waiting for me to respond, he continued, "I imagine you're worried about Mr. Irvin Sawyer, who was brought here along with you."My mind was still muddled because of a drug-induced haze. But at the mention of Irvin, it instantly cleared. He had been bleeding profusely and had collapsed in a pool of his blood just to protect me.At this memory, I naturally grew anxious. Lurching forward, I asked, "How is he?"The man gave me a look of regretful pity. "I'm terribly sorry. Our people were a bit too rough when bringing you both here, which led to him being seriously injured. He has yet to regain consciousness."My already clenched fists tightened even further. "Send Irvin back

Before the slim man could say anything, Timothy said, "Don't forget—once Emilia Quill goes missing, William Ashford won't be the only one who'll go all out to find her. The Hardwells and the Hulls will too. If we go head-to-head with all of them long-term, our losses will far outweigh any benefits."She's already made a breakthrough in this field. So, as long as she gives it her all and keeps going, I believe she can produce results within a year. "If we only go up against them for that long, the gains will still outweigh the losses. However, any longer than that will only end in the opposite," he stated.Timothy didn't just want to get rid of my children because he would only tolerate his own children as the next generation. It was also because he knew, unlike the other scientists, he couldn't imprison me for life to continue developing things that brought the organization great benefits.Just dealing with the Ashfords alone would be a major headache for the organization.

Irvin loosened his grip around Grace's throat at her words.He knew exactly what kind of person she was. Words were useless with Grace. The only way to quickly get the information he wanted from her was to make her genuinely fear for her life.Grace breathed out in relief when she felt Irvin let go. Her legs were slightly weak. She gathered herself and was about to speak.But then, Irvin said, "Spare me the unnecessary details. Just get straight to the point."He had zero patience for her.Upon hearing Irvin's words and seeing the violent look in his eyes, whatever Grace had planned to say died on her lips. Instead, she truthfully told him how she normally got in touch with Timothy.However, this wasn't enough for Irvin. "That's it?" he asked, frowning.Afraid he would try to strangle her again, Grace hurriedly replied, "Yes, that really is it! I'm not important to Timothy. I'm just a pawn to him. Sure, I can contact him, but that really is the only way I've ever had!"As soo

Irvin narrowed his eyes at this possibility.Grace truly was sharp and perceptive. Even though Irvin hadn't said a word and only narrowed his eyes, she had picked up on something. No—it was actually more accurate to say that she was a chronic overthinker.Agatha had been even more overjoyed and attached than Grace was when Grace had successfully gotten pregnant. In that moment, she immediately recognized that Irvin might notice something because Agatha was too excited.Hence, Grace had voiced her concern to Agatha early on. Grace had told her she needed to hold back in front of Irvin and not show too much fondness or care toward the unborn babies. Otherwise, he might grow suspicious.Agatha had acknowledged this was a real possibility. So, she had always exercised restraint when Irvin was present. It was just that she had been too worried just now when she saw something had nearly happened to Grace. Because of this, she had acted on impulse and had forgotten to hold back.But ju
