She had something to discuss with Tevin, 1 Tet B
1 thought he had come at this time to talk about the company. Afterall, Because of me prite reper, he had been demod well–known scumbag online, which also affected the company tork. Many cheers had alrearty expressed foste dissatisfaction
Or maybe he was here to offer hils sincerity, still wanting to experts called “love” for me the might say that he knew he was wrong, that he wanted to win the back, and that he wanted to me for my forgiveness or something
Or perhaps he was infuriated reading the online comments calling scumbag, exposing the fact that he never actually liked me, and now he came to lash out at me.
To get back on me
That was what I had expected from him.
However, I never would have imagined that he didn’t come to stabilize the company’s stock, nor did he offer his sincerity of try to clear his name.
Instead, he had come for Julianne.
He wanted to bail her out today. But there was an uproar of discussions online due to my public response.
Netizens felt manipulated and used by Julianne, the homewrecker. Their reactions in reality were far more aggressive than when they had demanded the police punish me.
A large crowd had surrounded the detention center. Both the front and back doors were packed with people.
Many even held banners, demanding strict punishments for Julianne, the wicked homewrecker
In this situation, Irvin couldn’t bail her out no matter how powerful he was.
It was just like how Mr. Stern couldn’t bail me out back then due to the pressure from the public opinion Julianne had influenced
The difference was just that Irvin wasn’t anxious when I couldn’t be released, but he was panicking now. So much so that he had lost his mind, coming to me and asking me to drop the chargers.
He wanted me to release another statement online to explain that it was all a misunderstanding and Julianne never plotted to frame me, that there was more to the story.
And the truth would be released after some investigation.
I stared at him blankly. I couldn’t tell if he was out of his mind or if he thought I was. I had no idea how he could say something so shamelessly.
“Emi, you know that Lianne has always been weak. She also suffered from serious complications after saving me back then. Her body won’t be able to handle being in a place like that. You’ve stayed in the detention center before. You know how bad the conditions are.”
I watched how anxious he was and how he brought up my experience in the detention center and its terrible conditions, hoping to get my sympathy.
I couldn’t help but laugh.
I was laughing at how blind I had been before, falling in love with a man like this. For loving him so much I had nearly lost my life.
And his so–called sister, his stepmother, couldn’t stay in such a bad environment.
But me?

I had fractured more than half the bones in my body and spent forever in the emergency room before my life was saved. Even now , I wouldn’t dare to walk too fast. And he thought that I would be alright staying in the detention center.
Once I stopped laughing, Irvin seemed to realize something. He tried to explain, “Emi, you’re different from Lianne. You’ve always been strong. The influenza virus had knocked everyone down, including me, but you were perfectly fine despite being in close contact with me.”
He continued, “And Emi is weak. Slfe can’t even take it when theres a light breeze, let alone staying in such a place for a few
days.
“I know that everything before was my fault, I shouldn’t have assumed that you have done such a thing without investigating just because you got together with me with a purpose. I shouldn’t have treated you that way. ”
When Irvin spoke, he seemed genuinely remorseful, as if he was truly guilty and had learned from his mistakes.
But he went on to say, “Everything’s my fault! You can do anything to me,
but please don’t blame it on Lianne, okay?”
