Meanwhile, the other thought they would tear Julianne apart if they were me.
Looking back now, the story between Irvin and Julianne was nothing more than the tale of a scumbag and a shameless woman.
No, they were even worse than that. They were malicious yet still wanted to be seen as true lovers.
How utterly shameless!
In an instant, everyone’s gaze toward Julianne shifted.
Julianne’s facade of composure cracked. She dropped her gaze, and her eyes welled with tears.
Before she could speak, Irvin interjected sharply, ‘Emilia, that’s enough. I’ve already explained. Those were just business trips. She’s my secretary, as you know well.”
I let out a soft laugh and thought to my old self, “See? If he actually loved you, he would never have let you endure such humiliation. Toss this trash into the bin where it belonged.”
Irvin flinched at my smile. He suddenly felt uneasy and wanted to say something.
Just then, Dad couldn’t watch his beloved Julianne humiliated any longer and berated me, Millicent! How can you say that? Stop making a scene at your grandmother’s birthday. You’re disgracing her!”
But Grandma spoke up instead. “Disgrace? Not at all. This is the best birthday present I’ve received in years!”
Grandma was happy that I, her precious granddaughter, had finally stood my ground. Why should they commit such shameless acts yet leave me to bear a degrading reputation and be ridiculed by others?
