Chapter 276
Being abandoned as a child was one thing. But now, he wasn’t ever allowed to be himself.
From now on, he could only live in this world under the identity of Timothy Hardwell.
That was really…

Margaret couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. She wanted to say something, but she didn’t dare to let it show and could only leave quickly.
“Emi, I really want to make it up to you and Mr. Holland. The reason I did that was because you hurt us first. I had no choice but to do this so we could be even. Let’s go abroad and start anew. We can live just like before, okay?”
Shaun genuinely enjoyed spending time with me. We had so many shared topics and similar thoughts.
When we were spending time together, he would often forget his original purpose for approaching me.
He would instinctively treat me well.
When he first heard about my accident, he panicked, forgetting everything else, only wanting to see me as soon as possible and make sure I was alright.
When he saw me being wronged, his first instinct was to stand up for me.
When I was in danger, he would want to protect me.
The more time he spent with me, the more he felt I wasn’t the person his sister had described.
During this time, he had thought of countless ways to stop this plan, but none of them worked. This was the only path he could
take.
He did hurt me, but he had also saved me multiple times.
He wished we could be even, let go of our mutual wounds, and go abroad to live harmoniously, just as we had before.
“I hurt you first? What did I do?” I asked.
I had always seen him as an important friend, grateful that he had saved my life, and admired his talent. So, although I was very disappointed and disgusted at the fact that he could speak so sincerely about making amends after doing something so terrible to me and Mr. Holland, I couldn’t help but ask.
I wanted to know if there had been some kind of misunderstanding between us.
But Shaun refused to tell me what I had done wrong.
That was until a young woman walked over, limping. Instantly, his expression changed.
“Gemma, what are you doing here? Didn’t I tell you to stay abroad?‘ he asked.
“Why would I stay there? It wasn’t easy to make her suffer a painful downfall. How could I miss the chance to witness this in person?” His sister, Gemma Green, grinned manically at me.
She continued, “Emilia, I bet you never thought you’d end up like this, did you? Who would have imagined that just a few carefully angled photos and words from someone could completely destroy you? It feels amazing!”
I looked at the young woman in front of me, but I didn’t recognize her at all. I had no idea why she hated me so much.
As if she could read my mind, Gemma laughed, her voice laced with hatred. “Emilia, Ms. Quill, what a forgetful person you…е. You’re the reason I was assaulted, had my legs broken, and never be able to be a mother. And yet, you’ve completely forgotten me?”
