Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 541

After just a brief conversation with me, the major player had immediately agreed to work with us.

I knew he hadn't been swayed by our business terms. He only agreed because he wanted me to help his mother stand again. That was the real reason he had readily agreed to work with us.

Timothy had offered such a favorable deal, but he had failed to win the major player over. Yet, I had barely spoken to the major player, yet I had already secured a partnership.

When I thought of this, I couldn't help recalling what Mr. Holland had once said to me.

"You need to gain influence, become capable, and become useful. Once you have enough of all these qualities, there will always be people who will believe you're indispensable. Then, no matter what happens and what you do, you'll always have people who defend you and come to your aid."

And he was right.

No matter where a person is in life, they should never give up on their education and career. When one was powerful enough, everything would always go their way. People would always have options. But the moment they gave up on themselves, the world would too.

I had never regretted falling in love with Irvin. But I did deeply regret being so blinded by it that I gave up on my studies for him. Thankfully, I came to my senses later on.

I'm also incredibly grateful that I had amnesia. Truthfully speaking, I even preferred that version of myself, who felt no love and was free from pain. I had been unstoppable back then.

Timothy's eyes had already resembled a venomous snake. But as he watched me close the deal with the major player, his gaze turned even more sinister.

Grace had also lost all her earlier smugness. She had assumed I had used up all of my luck and had finally hit a low point. She had believed the wheel of fate was starting to turn against me.

Contrary to what she thought, I was still so lucky. I had even effortlessly gotten what she and Timothy had desperately wanted.

William and I planned to use the major player as a bridge to connect with even more influential people. Then, we would help Irvin clear his name through them.

Timothy had planned to sabotage our plan by snatching away the major player I was trying to connect with. But beyond that, he had also wanted to work with that powerful man.
