Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 565

Among the Hardwells, Irvin had always thought Magnus was a decent person who held some real affection for him. But now, it seemed he had just been too naive, and it all had been his wishful thinking.

Irvin's bitter smile made me empathize with him. Not wanting him to feel worse by dwelling on it, I changed the subject.

"You knew beforehand that Timothy was going to use you as a scapegoat. Did you make any arrangements for it?" I asked.

Irvin had learned Timothy was still alive and intended to use him as a scapegoat to return to the Hardwell family. So, given his business skills, I had always believed he had to have prepared a contingency plan for this.

Sure enough, Irvin replied with, "I did. Don't worry. I won't let him pin his crimes on me."

Irvin had felt he was tainted and no longer had any future with me. Because of this, he had lost the will to live. Even so, he had still made contingency preparations after finding out he had been played by Timothy.

Regardless of how hopeless he had felt, he would never allow anyone to use him. More than that, he refused to let my reputation be affected.

Should the topic of my ex-husband come up, Irvin didn't want people to say I had been married to a criminal. He didn't want to bring me any more misfortune.

Irvin hadn't been able to finish laying out all his hidden pieces before his incident. However, the important ones had already been put in place.

He would show Timothy the consequences of toying with him. He would make sure Timothy understood that those grand schemes of his were nothing but a pipe dream.

I felt relief upon hearing Irvin's response. He might be capable, but he wasn't the type to talk big. So, if he said he had it handled, it meant he did.

Irvin asked me about other things after that, and I answered all of his questions, regardless of whether he needed to know the answer.

But then, he ran out of things to ask about, and I also didn't know what else to say. So, silence fell between us again.
