Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 375

Chapter 375

Mitchell felt humiliated from having to apologize to me so publicly so he was already in a bad mood. And when he heard the tone Julienne used with him, his expression soured even more.

“Who told you Ms. Quill is an academic fraud, Ms. Calder?” he shot back.

Julianne clearly hadn’t expected that. She was caught off guard by the question. Then, as though sensing someone’s gaze on her, she turned her head. And when she spotted Irvin, she froze.

Julianne had kept tabs on Irvin, but they hadn’t seen each other face–to–face ever since she faked her death. So, their sudden encounter shook her.

I lowered my gaze when I saw Julianne and Irvin lock eyes.

I had recognized Julianne the moment I saw her. My family had too. Thus, I believed it would be the same for Irvin as well. Our relationship problems started because of Julianne, so they should end with her too.

Having grown up together with Irvin, she knew she couldn’t hide who she really was from him. Regardless, she couldn’t admit she was actually Julianne.

She wouldn’t let anyone expose her true identity and ruin the good life she was currently living. Hence, she quickly snapped out of her daze and averted her gaze.

That was when she spotted Professor Weiss beside me. Seeing that such a big name was accompanying me, Julianne pieced together what had happened and swiftly changed her demeanor.

“I heard it from someone else too,” she replied. “Have I misjudged Ms. Quill?”

With that, Julianne looked apologetically at me as though she truly regretted believing in a rumor.

Mitchell was the only one who believed her and felt she had been misled. Everyone else present wasn’t convinced.

“And who are you?” Professor Weiss asked. “What kind of scholar are you? Shouldn’t you know everything must be verified before drawing conclusions? How could you tarnish Emilia’s reputation based on rumors alone!”

He was especially fond of me. So, when he heard Julianne was the reason I had been turned away at the door, he was furious.

As a scientist, Professor Weiss was thorough in everything he did. Hence, he absolutely hated it when people spread baseless

rumors.

As Julianne wasn’t a scholar, she was at a loss for words. She was a proud person who thought herself exceptional. However, her only inferiority was that she was academically weak.

No matter how hard she studied, it had always been in vain. And that was why she hated and resented me.

Julianne hated how easily I picked things up, and she resented that I scored high marks effortlessly. After I’d spe housewife, she thought that I should’ve lost that edge. And yet, I had easily dived back into research like I’d never left.

However, upon remembering her current status, Julianne didn’t feel the need to be afraid of anyone. Lifting her chin haughtily, she turned to Professor Weiss, ready to retort.

But before she could say anything, Mitchell pulled her behind him and looked apologetically at Professor Weiss.

“Ms. Calder is still young, and that’s why she was easily misled. She didn’t mean to slander Ms. Quill in any way,” he explained.

Mitchell was the lead organizer of the academic exchange conference. For that reason, Professor Weiss still needed to show him some courtesy. He didn’t say anything more and merely shot Julianne a cold glance.

Turning to me,
