Love You Like I Used To Forget It (Millie Bridge) novel Chapter 71

Chapter 71

To Irvin’s horror, I truly seemed to not care about this at all.

I used to feel so hurt and agonized whenever I saw him get a little coser to Julianne.

How could I be like this now? How could I treat him this way and not care?

Just as I was about to tell Irvin to leave if he had nothing else to say a thought crossed my mind.

I said, “I saw online news claiming that you cheated during our marriage. It’s probably a move by your competitors. You should handle the PR immediately or the damage could be severe.”

While I was glad he and Julianne were together, I didn’t want to suffer financial losses because of their affair. Irvin was a married man. So, his being caught publicly with another woman in a hotel could cause the company’s stock to plummet.

Tens of billions of dollars could easily vanish with a poof just like that.

Tens of billions!

Scientific research required a lot of funds, so I needed to safeguard the assets I was entitled to.

After thinking for a moment, I added, “The best PR strategy right now is to admit that we got divorced some time ago, Say that you and Julianne got together only after the divorce. That way, she’s not a mistress, and you didn’t betray your marriage. Go ahead and get it done. I can assist anytime you need me.”

Irvin just stared at me intently. His gaze looked so broken that it seemed as if he was about to shatter into pieces. He staggered back several steps, and his eyes suddenly reddened immensely.

I frowned, unsure of what he was trying to do, nor did I care to know. All I wanted now was to secure the money I was entitled to after our divorce was finalized.

“This is the best timing for PR. You’d better have your PR team act immediately. If you don’t mind me going back to the company, I can take full responsibility over handling this matter, suggested.

Irvin was naturally proud and never good at lowering his head or handling external affairs. Those responsibilities had always fallen to me. Furthermore, after I took over the new media company, I had become quite adept at PR too.

I knew this was the optimal time to act. If we missed this, the losses would become irreversible.

“Emilia…” Irvin tried to say something but couldn’t quite get the words out.

He just stared at me with wide, unblinking eyes like he was desperately searching my face for some sign of petulance or spite. But no matter how hard he looked, he found none.

I was completely serious and entirely focused on resolving the PR crisis.

Even after seeing news of my soon–to–be ex–husband sleeping with another woman in a hotel, I wasn’t hurt, upset, or emotional. Instead, I was thinking about how to minimize the damage to the company and protect my share of the money. I was even willing to cooperate to clear his and Julianne’s names.

Irvin reeled in disbelief. It wasn’t just that I no longer loved him. He realized that I didn’t care about him at all anymore.

But how could that be? How was it possible? I used to love him so much! I’d even been willing to risk my life for him.

So, how could I be absolutely indifferent toward him now?

No matter how much the events of that day had hurt me, I shouldn’t act like this! If I had truly loved him, how could I stop caring entirely?
