Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 502

Once Irvin began suspecting Timothy might still be alive, his doubts about the entire situation only grew the more he mulled it over.

He started to believe that my and Mr. Holland's kidnapping—from when we were taken, to him successfully finding the cruise ship in international waters—had all been part of Timothy's meticulously orchestrated plan.

Otherwise, there was no way Timothy could've come up with such a perfectly staged death at their very first meeting.

That criminal organization's operations had changed over the last two years. They had also quickly infiltrated the country.

The more William thought about it, the more he felt Irvin was right. Maybe Timothy really hadn't died at all.

That being said, Timothy was the Hardwell heir, which meant he already had a fortune. His wife was also pregnant at the time.

So, why had he chosen to fake his own death? What could he have possibly gained from it? Wasn't he worried that Irvin would take his place as heir and leave him with nothing?

Then, it suddenly hit William.

Irvin was currently living under Timothy's identity. Even the shares and everything he owned were still under Timothy's name.

If Timothy wanted to come back, he wouldn't need Irvin to disappear. Even if Irvin was still around, all he needed to do was claim he had miraculously survived.

Magnus and Agatha already favored Timothy over Irvin. Plus, everything Irvin "owned" was under Timothy's name and identity. Given all this, the Hardwell family and everything that came with it would revert to being Timothy's again.

To put it simply, by faking his death, Timothy could live freely outside. And when he had had enough and decided to return, everything would still be his.

As for Irvin? He would just be the sucker who had done all the hard work for nothing.

William couldn't help feeling a little sorry for Irvin.
