Trib managed to save her right at the critical moment. He had used his body and blocked her from hitting the wall.
In that instant, he looked immensely relieved. He was probably thanking all the gods in existence for helping him to save her.
I believed Irvin when he claimed he didn’t love Julianne romantically. I also believed that he truly thought he didn’t and that I was the one he loved. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have transferred his entire fortune to me.
That being said, I also felt he wasn’t fully aware of his own feeling He hadn’t yet realized that the person he truly loved was Julianne. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have behaved the way he just did
Irvin was about to exhale in reliet when he saw that Julianne was the. But then, he met my contemptuous gaze.
His heart seemed to shrivel , and his immediate reaction was to pass Julianne away. However, Julianne closed her eyes and Tainted in his arms.
I thought he was going to pick her up in a panic and rush her to the hospital. It was how he always reacted in such situations in the past. Thus, I was mentally preparing to collect our divorce cert scale tomorrow.
However, Irvin called Mr. Jeffords–one of his many secretaries–ever. He then told him to send her to the hospital.
Mr. Jeffords placed Julianne in the car. Irvin then instructed him to use his own card for payment instead of Irvin’s. Later, he would have Julianne reimburse him.
We were all rendered speechless.
I didn’tv
i want Irvin to sever all ties with Julianne. I also wasn’t trying to make him choose me over her.
I wasn’t happy at all as I watched Mr. Jeffords drive off with Julianne. Instead, I was incredibly annoyed.
Irvin used to treat Julianne so well and loved her so much. So , I couldn’t understand how he had done a complete 180 in his behavior toward her now.
Besides, Julianne obviously couldn’t handle the sudden change in his behavior today. It wasn’t surprising that she had passed out. Yet, how could he calmly have Mr. Jeffords take her to the hospital?
Plus, I knew he disapproved of how I was putting so much pressure on Julianne. It was apparent he found it excessive. Yet, he even tolerated IL
Irvin looked at me after she had been taken away. He didn’t even blame me for what had happened to her and everything that led up to it.
Instead, he immediately explained himself “I wasn’t siding with Lanne, Emi. I was just saving her life.
Before I could respond, he continued earnestly. “I never explained my relationship with Lianne to you in detail before. That’s why you misunderstood and thought there was something going on between us.”
Irvin began explaining, “Lianne’s mother, Diana, had raised me jana had been like a mother to me. That’s why I
“Save your explanation,” I said, cutting him off. “I’m not interested, nor do I care ,”
I didn’t want to listen to him explain his and Julianne’s relationship, so I told him as such.
“Today’s matter won’t be forgotten just because Julianne fainted, continued. “I’ll have people visit her daily until she returns everything. If she retuses, I’ll take her to court. And I’ll make sure this turns into a public scandal.”
I made it clear to him that I wouldn’t let this matter go. I was going to continue pressuring Julianne over a “ trivial” amount of money,
I thought that by pushing it further, he would finally snap. After all he had shown earlier that he disapproved of my actions.
However, Irvin was full of surprises today .

After a brief silence, he replied, “Make a list of everything you want returned. I’ll make sure Lianne does so.”
His words stumped me.
I didn’t know if he just wasn’t in his right mind currently or if he had actually gone crazy. The change in his behavior was too
extreme.
“I know what I’ve done in the past, Emi That’s why I’m acting this way now. I’m trying to make it up to you. So if you’re in a bad mood and want to vent , go ahead ! Let it out!” he exclaimed with outstretched hands.
Irvin knew Julianne hated me and wanted to get back at me. So he even allowed her to do all sorts of things to me. Now, he was indulging me in the same way .
I stared at him and suddenly found him foolish
I didn’t want to say another word to him, so I left. But he followed me.
