Chapter 127
It didn’t matter whether he truly wanted to make amends or had other intentions. There was no harm in giving him a “chance ” as long as he transferred his assets to me.
Hearing this, Irvin’s eyes lit up instantly, even brighter than before He must have thought that, just like before , I would forget everything and fall in love blindly with him again after his gentle comfort.
He was so excited that he wanted to hug me.
I lowered my gaze to hide the disgust in my eyes and stepped back “ There’s no need to rush. Let’s handle the important matters
first.
“Go have your assets evaluated with a lawyer. Once you’ve transferred them to me and signed a new divorce agreement stating that you’ll voluntarily leave the marriage with nothing, I’ll immediately withdraw the charges.”
Of course, right after that, I would charge Julianne with attempted murder for hiring a crime organization. She wouldn’t even have the chance to leave the detention center!
And if he chose to save Julianne, it would be perfect . He could just divorce and leave this marriage with nothing
Just as Irvin was about to smile, it froze on his face. He asked cautiously, looking upset, “Didn’t you say you’d give me a chance? Why are we still signing a divorce agreement?”
Hooked at him and answered, “Signing the divorce agreement doesn’t mean we’re actually divorcing. It’s just to give me some security and assurance.
“What if you’re just blankly promising right now and you go back to how you were after I decided to stay? Or are you refusing to sign because you already know you won’t be able to do it?”
Irvin blurted, “ I can! Emi, I really can!”
He had done those foolish things because he had misunderstood. He wouldn’t do that ever again.
To him, I had always been the most important. After this, he really would send Julianne away and be loyal to me.
I nodded and said, “Good. It’s a deal. You’ll voluntarily transfer all your assets to me, sign the new divorce agreement, and I’ll withdraw the chargers. After that, as long as you always choose me over Julianne, we won’t get a divorce.”
I added, “But if you choose her even once, we’ll be divorced as stated in the agreement, effective immediately. And you’ll leave with nothing.”
“Okay!” Irvin agreed without hesitation.
He seemed so sincere and genuine, like he truly loved me and was willing to sacrifice everything just to hold on to me
The old me would have believed him.
I would have believed that I was the one he loved most, and I would have been so moved that I’d do anything for him.
But now, I simply looked at him and smiled. I didn’t believe a single nonsense he said.
Just like now, he initially wanted to say something.
But after I urged him to quickly find a lawyer to finalize the procedures and get Julianne out as soon as possible , he immediately forgot what he was about to say and left in a hurry.
After he left, I took out my phone and called Mr. Stern to let him prepare the papers. No matter what Irvin was scheming, I would make sure he lost everything!
After settling the matters with the lawyer, my delivery arrived just on time—a perfect spicy beef stew.
I cleaned up the table and set up the induction cooker. My appetite surged as I looked at the boiling spicy broth.

Irvin had a weak stomach and couldn’t handle greasy or spicy food To accommodate his palate, I had been eating bland and mild food for the past seven years.
But thad always been someone who loved spicy food. A day without it would make me feel like something was missing,
I couldn’t understand how I had once loved him so much that I gave up what I loved the most for him. No wonder I had been treated that way.
Mr. Holland once said something very wise, “The moment you abandon yourself, you put yourself in a position where others can abandon you at any time. If you don’t love yourself, how can you expect anyone else to love you?”
Just as I blew on the hot stew , there was an urgent knocking at the door.
