Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

Irvin’s expression changed suddenly. He opened his mouth to say something, but in the end, he said nothing. He just gave me a look of helpless indulgence, like he was looking at a toddler throwing a tantrum.

It disgusted me to no end.

Once everyone had left, Julianne immediately extended her hand toward me. “Let me see.”

She wanted to confirm whether I had actually recorded anything.

Graciously, I played the recording from last night to her.

Julianne wouldn’t have let me off so easily after I humiliated her at the birthday celebration and ruined her reputation. Knowing that, I had retreated to a secluded corner, both to take a break and to wait for her to come and find me.

I just hadn’t expected her to act so ruthlessly in public.

I’d almost died.

The recording played the entire incident, from the moment Julianne came to me to talk until she pushed me into the pond and fell in herself.

Her expression was grim.

If I released this video, it wouldn’t just expose her true nature to my parents and everyone else who always sided with her. It could also be used as evidence for assaulting me. If I took this recording to the police, she might be the one to end up in jail.

After a while, she finally looked at me. “I’ve underestimated you, Emilia.”

I nodded. She had.

“I didn’t expect the fall to knock some sense into you instead of giving you brain damage,” she gritted out.

She’d chosen that location specifically after scouting it out several times. That part of the water, though deep, looked harmless, but there were a lot of hidden rocks below the surface. A fall from that height would almost certainly result in death or injury if I hit the rocks.

Unfortunately for her, I had lived to tell the tale.

“Why didn’t you show this video to everyone instead of negotiating with me? What do you want?” Once again, Julianne showed that she was smart. The horror on her face smoothed over quickly.

“I want you to make Irvin divorce me as soon as possible.”

With the right goals, an enemy could also be an ally.

Julianne and Simone both looked at me with widened eyes. They didn’t expect me to say something like that.

After a stunned moment, they came back to their senses and said at the same time, “I think you’ve hit your head too hard, Emilia!”

A moment ago, they thought that I had gotten smarter, but now, they believed that I’d completely lost my mind.
