Chapter 125
“Trust me, there’s no way Lianne has set you up like that to do you harm,” Irvin said. “I know she doesn’t like seeing you do well, and she’s not exactly a great person. But the reason her minds so twisted is because she misunderstood you.”
He added, “Even if we assume the worst, maybe she isn’t like this because of the misunderstanding but because she’s truly a bad person, no matter how bad she is, she wouldn’t ruin her own chastity and her life just to hurt you!”
Julianne’s long–standing feelings for Irvin made him believe that to matter how terrible she was or how much she wished me harm, she wouldn’t sacrifice her chastity to Harm me.
After all, he deeply believed that Julianne wasn’t such a terrible person.
“Emi, I misunderstood you before and hurt you. You know how painful it is to be misunderstood. Please don’t inflict the same pain on someone else, okay?” he pleaded.
Irvin wanted me to remember how painful it felt when I was misunderstood and detained so that I could feel bad for Julianne and let her off the hook.
It was ridiculously funny to me. This man had probably lost his mind.
Julianne was the cause of my pain and suffering, and he wanted me to recall that pain to feel sorry for the person who hurt me? Did he take me for a fool? Or did I look like a saint to him?
“Emi, please withdraw your charges! I will send her abroad immediately after she gets out and cut off contact with her. I won’t ask you to forgive me, but I hope you can give me one more chance to make up for my mistakes for the rest of our lives, okay?” Irvin asked.
As he spoke, he walked toward me, reaching out to grab my hand.
I stumbled backward in fear. If that disgusting man touched me again, I might as well cut my hand off!
“Please don’t!” I exclaimed. “Don’t send her away or cut ties with her. You love and care about her so much, what happened before wasn’t important. You should wait for her to get out to live happily ever after with her!”
Even at this point, all he could think about was his dear Julianne being weak and fragile. If this wasn’t true love, then it simply didn’t exist in this world.
Irvin, who hadn’t been resting these few days, felt a bad headache coming after hearing my words.
He said helplessly, “Emi, can you not say things like this all the time? I’ve never had that kind of feeling for Lianne. She’s really just a younger sister to me! I would never be with her!”
He didn’t know how many times he would have to
believe him. .

I stared at him, as he was looking like he was willing to die just to prove this. I suggested genuinely, “Irvin, I suspect that you have a very serious misunderstanding of love. I strongly recommend you see a therapist.”
Irvin frowned and was about to say something, but I continued saying, “It’s not impossible for me to drop the charges.”
At first, I just wanted to divorce in peace anyway. I wasn’t looking for revenge.
But now, not only did he feel no guilt for what I had gone through, but he actually had the audacity to say such words…d make such a request. It was very hard for me to hold back the desire to take revenge and make him suffer.
He instantly forgot what he was about to say. His exhausted, helpless eyes were shining from time to time,
He loved Julianne so much that even his body would react only to her.
To think that he actually had the audacity to claim that he only saw her as a little sister and would never be together with her.
Seriously…
