Chapter 216

Irvin had always firmly believed that I was faking my injuries and making a scene,

Aside from Travis and my parents telling him I was fine, the main reason was that he thought I had made up the entire kidnapping case just to compete with Julianne for his attention.

So, when the kidnappers forced him to choose between us, he picked Julianne without hesitation. After I fell off the cliff, he assumed it was all part of my plan and didn’t worry about me at all.

Even when he went to the hospital to make me apologize to Julianne and saw how badly I was hurt, he still thought I was faking it. And even if I really was injured, he believed I had brought it upon myself.

After all, in his mind, I was the one who had planned it.

After realizing that I had truly been seriously injured, he finally understood that the kidnapping wasn’t something I had planned.

He regretted it so much that the thought overwhelmed him, making it unbearable.

Still, he never once suspected that Julianne was the mastermind. Deep down, he couldn’t believe that the person he had grown up with could be cruel enough to do such a thing. That was why he instinctively denied the possibility.

He wanted to ask if there had been some misunderstanding, but he didn’t. Because if the police had no evidence, they wouldn’t have come to arrest her.

Snapping back to reality, Irvin looked at Julianne coldly.

She instinctively wanted to deny everything, but when she met his piercing gaze that looked as if he could see right through her, she knew that no matter what she said, he wouldn’t believe her.

However, this was a criminal case. Even if he didn’t believe her, she couldn’t admit the truth in front of the police.

So, she cried and shook her head frantically. “I didn’t do it! It wasn’t me! I was a victim! You were there, Irvin. You saw how they held a knife to my throat! I was a victim too!”

Even though she refused to confess, Irvin saw the brief flicker of panic in her eyes. In that instant, he knew that she really was the mastermind.

At that moment, he hated himself more than ever.

All his life, although he wouldn’t consider himself the smartest person in the world, he was still among the smartest.

But now?

He felt so… stupid. So stupid that he could never make up for his mistake.

As the police were about to take Julianne away, she clung to Irvin’s arm desperately. She pleaded, “Irvin, I swear I didn’t do it. Please, don’t abandon me. Have you forgotten the promise you made to my mom before she passed? You said you’d take care of me and protect me forever!”

She brought up her late mother.

In the past, no matter what mistake she made, the moment she mentioned Diana, Irvin would soften and forgive her because he remembered how her parents had died because of him.

Even when Julianne treated him like a fool, he would still forgive her and take care of her, just like before.

But now, as he thought about my injury after the fall and how fatal it was, he couldn’t give in this time. He “couldn’t forgive or protect her.
