Grandma hadn’t felt this liberated in years!

Dad’s face darkened as he scolded, “Mom, how can you say that? Lianne is so devoted to you. She’s your granddaughter too!”

Grandma scoffed. “I have only one granddaughter, and I love her very much. Unlike you fools, I’m not blind. I love my own flesh and blood, not someone else’s child!”

For a moment, Mom and Dad’s faces turned into a colorful display of emotions.

Even though Irvin defended Julianne, the guests no longer saw them the same way. No one dared to voice their thoughts, but in their hearts, they had labeled the pair as a heating couple.

After Grandma announced she would transfer her 20% shares to Jeremy and officially appointed him as the head of Quillcrest Pharmaceuticals, I retreated to a quiet corner for some peace.

While I’d finally vented my frustrations and shut down the ridicule, the pitying looks people gave me were equally uncomfortable.

I reached for a glass of orange juice and wanted to take a sip when I heard Julianne’s voice.

“Well, Emilia, that fall off the cliff really did a number on you. You’re almost unrecognizable.”

Julianne’s gaze was probing, as if trying to figure out what had caused such a drastic change in me.

I didn’t bother responding and just cast her a fleeting glance before drinking my orange juice.

Maybe it was because she had never been treated with such indifference before that, for once, Julianne dropped her sweet and innocent act to reveal her true, malicious self

“Do you really think Irvin’s public declaration means he’ll stay with you forever? No matter what you do, Irvin’s heart will always belong to me. You should’ve realized that the moment he didn’t hesitate to choose your death on the cliff!”

Although I had forgotten the details of what happened back then, as well as my love for Irvin, her harsh words still managed to sting.

The pain made me even more determined to sever any ties with them.

I couldn’t stop myself from saying, “If he loves you that much, why don’t you just have him divorce me and be with you?”

A divorce. How perfect it would be for the lovebirds to finally be together out in the open.

Julianne’s face stiffened for a moment, but she quickly regained her composure. “It’s obviously because he doesn’t want to split his assets with you! Did you think he still loved you?”

She let out a cold laugh. “Allow me to shatter your last little illusion.”

With that, she lunged at me.

I’d sensed danger the moment she spoke. I instinctively tried to dodge, but my body was sluggish, and I wasn’t quick enough.

I had expected some form of retaliation, knowing how I’d pushed back against her earlier. But I never imagined

she would be bold enough to attack me so brazenly in front of so many people.

Before I could react, Julianne tackled me, and we both fell into the pond nearby.
