Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 672

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 meltdown.

Born into the elite aristocracy, she had always considered herself above everyone else. She had never experienced such blinding jealousy, nor felt so infuriated seeing someone else happy.

Grace simply couldn't understand it. She was clearly better than Emilia in every way. So, she genuinely couldn't figure out why Emilia could so effortlessly obtain everything she had never been able to.

Why? Why was that? Why did Emilia get to live such an easy life?

Just when Grace's jealousy was about to spiral out of her control, she remembered that Emilia would soon disappear from society. She huffed smugly at this thought and calmed down.

Why should she be jealous of someone who would soon be locked away forever?

…

Irvin had wanted to seize the Hardwell family's immense influence as soon as possible. He had been working himself to the bone.

Mason was Irvin's most trusted right-hand man. As such, he knew all too well how deeply his boss still loved his ex-wife. He couldn't live without her.

But now…

Sometimes, people really couldn't afford to make the wrong move. One wrong step led to another. And before they knew it, they had fallen into an abyss they couldn't climb back out of.

After pondering for a while, Mason finally said, "Mr. Hardwell, the deal signing for the land south of the city is today. We need to head over right away."

He didn't know how to comfort Irvin, and his position didn't give him the right to either. All he could do was use work to divert Irvin's attention.

However, Irvin didn't seem to hear a thing Mason had said. He just kept staring at the news on his phone, tormenting himself with it, until the pain became too unbearable that he fell unconscious.

Mason watched as Irvin collapsed. His eyes widened in alarm, and his voice trembled as he shouted, "Mr. Hardwell!"
