After leaving the surgical ward, I had to walk past the general ward on my way out.
An idea suddenly came to mind just as I did. So, instead of leaving the hospital, I headed to Julianne’s room.

Irvin had been injured. Because of this, he had been preoccupied with getting examined and treated. He was also worried that I would think there was something going on between him and Juliane.
Despite all this, he had still thoughtfully arranged for Julianne to stay in a luxurious VIP room.
None of my family members had come to visit me when I woke up after falling off the cliff. When I was discharged from the ICU ward, I had been placed in a noisy eight–person room.
Comparatively, her single occupancy VIP room was so much more comfortable. So much so that it didn’t even feel like one was staying in a hospital.
I knocked on her door.
Julianhe thought Irvin had come to check on her. She happily opened the door and was about to call his name coquettishly.
Her smile instantly vanished when she saw me standing there.
“What do you want, Emilia?” she demanded.
Seeing that there was no one else behind me, she didn’t bother keeping up her act. Her tone was frosty and filled with hatred.
I smirked sardonically at her. “I’m here to watch you make a fool of yourself, of course!”
I came to antagonize her a little so she would be even more motivated to snatch Irvin away from me.
She never expected this to be my response. Julianne was so taken aback that she seemed momentarily at a loss.
All these years, she had kept provoking me. She had constantly created trouble to make my life miserable.
Despite this, I had suffered and endured it in silence. I also hadn’t dared retaliate. All I did was avoid her and beg her to leave me
alone.
Now, here I was. I had arrogantly come to witness her downfall.
I didn’t wait for her to recover from her shock.
Cocking an eyebrow, I looked down my nose at her and said, “Didn’t you say Irvin loved you the most? Then why hasn’t he come to check on you when you’re supposedly on your deathbed?”
Julianne’s hands clenched into tight fists at her sides.
“Do you have a death wish, Emilia?” She glowered.
I scoffed. “I know you dearly wish I was dead. Go ahead and make it a reality if you can, Oh wait, you can’t even steal the man you love most. So how could you even be capable of ending my life?
“Honestly, I’ve never seen anyone fail as badly as you have. You’ve tried for two years, but you still haven’t managed to climb into Irvin’s bed. And yet, you still dare to flaunt how much he loves you in front of me.”
I chuckled. “You’re so pathetic.”
In the past, Julianne had consistently beaten me. Back then, I had no will to fight back because I already about and desired.
I cared about Mom and Dad, hoping they would love me more.
I cared about Irvin and wanted to be the only one in his heart. I wished he would love me exclusively.
verything I cared

These became the biggest weapons she used to hurt me. But now, tho longer cared about or longed for these things.
As such, she was now nothing but a fool.
As expected, she was enraged by my words. The veins on her hands were bulging once again. They looked as though they might
burst.
However, with Julianne being who she was, she didn’t lose her cool. She also didn’t allow herself to explode from rage.
“Don’t get cocky just because he chose you over me once, Emilia,” she retorted. “Just you wait! You’ll soon see how I’ll deal with you!”
“Sure! I’ll be waiting!” I replied.
I would wait for her to make her move. Then, I would finally have the opportunity to force Irvin to choose her over me. Once that happened, I could end this marriage at last.
As I turned to leave, a thought crossed my mind, and I turned back to face Julianne.
“By the way, pack your things,” I said. “Since there’s nothing wrong with you, you should prepare yourself to be discharged.”
I continued, “Irvin has transferred all of his assets to me. This means every penny he spends from now on belongs to me. And I don’t plan on spending a single cent on you. So hurry up and pack your things. Or I’ll have someone kick you out!”
I finished with a threat. “Things won’t look pretty then.”
Julianne was flabbergasted. She looked at me in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
Just in case she hadn’t heard me clearly the first time, I generously repeated everything I had said.
“Irvin’s assets are now all under my name, so every penny he spends from now on is mine. I’m not going to allow a single cent to be spent on you. So hurry up, pack your things, and leave the hospital. Or I’ll have someone kick you out!”
