Irvin smiled wryly when he met William’s skeptical gaze.

“I know it’s hard to believe I’m doing this for Emi’s sake, especially after everything I’ve done to her. But I really am. I want Emi to live a better life. I want to do everything I can to make it up to her,” Irvin said.

William had never lost ground in business, which naturally meant he was a capable person and could read people accurately. He had never once misjudged anyone and could see through them clearly.

William could tell Irvin was being serious and sincere. Irvin genuinely did want to hand the Hardwell family’s empire over to me. This realization tinged William’s eyes with something indescribable as he looked at Irvin.

The Hardwells were an aristocratic family who had built their family fortune over a century. If it really came down to a clash, the Ashford family might not be able to win against them.

Anyone would be desperate to seize and own such immense wealth And yet, Irvin unbelievably wanted to just give it to me. Seeing Irvin like this, William couldn’t help but ask, “If you loved Emi that much, why did you hurt her back then?”

Shouldn’t true love mean unconditional devotion? No matter what had done, shouldn’t Irvin have sided with me? Even if there was some misunderstanding between us because of Julianne, he still shouldn’t have done what he did.

Irvin laughed bitterly. “Back then, I didn’t understand what real love was.”

He did now, but it was all too late. Plus, the reason Irvin was able to go to such extremes was because he took my love for granted.

He knew how much I loved him and believed I’d never leave. That was why Irvin hurt me so recklessly. It had never once crossed his mind that even the deepest love would run dry one day.

Irvin looked so pitiful now, but William didn’t feel any sympathy for him.

First, they were rivals in love. Second, Irvin’s love for me had come too little, too late. There was no use for him to cry over spilled milk. So, the only thing William felt for him was that Irvin deserved it.

Snapping out of his thoughts, William looked at him and said, “If you need anything from me, just let me know.”

William believed I deserved the best this world had to offer. And if Irvin wanted to pour everything he had into making it up to me, William had no reason to refuse.

“I will,” Irvin replied.

He didn’t say anything more. He just turned and walked away.

Just like how William could see Irvin genuinely wanted to make it up to me and hand me the Hardwell family’s empire, Irvin could also tell that William truly liked me.

He could see that William would really treat me well. Not only that, but William would favor me and protect me unconditionally. William did everything better than Irvin ever could. So, there was nothing left to say.

After sending Grandma home, I was about to head back to look for Cordelia. But then, a man walked up to me and stared intently at me.

I froze for a second before recognizing he was Irvin’s faithful assistant, Mason. I had nothing more to say to Irvin, much less his assistant. So, I moved to step around him and leave.

However, Mason took a big step forward and blocked my path.
