Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1570

Edmund was aghast. Odette's behavior had left him entirely disappointed. He had come to the Dynasty hoping that his childhood sweetheart would be the only person in this world who might still stand by him, but right now, he was forced to reconcile with the fact that whatever attachments they had were all play-pretend.

He had worshiped the ground she walked on and cherished her like no other, but not once had she ever been true to him.

Hatred and hurt flashed in his eyes as he growled through gritted teeth, "Why should I have to apologize when Odette's the one who wronged me first? None of this is my fault, so why do I have to lower myself to beg for her forgiveness? She's the one who should be saying sorry!"

As he snapped, he struggled wildly to break free of Julian's hold. However, he was no match for Julian, whose vise-like grip around his wrist made it impossible for him to pull away.

At the sight of Edmund's haplessness, Odette scowled in disdain.

Julian, on the other hand, snorted as he said maliciously, "I know things have been hard for you since the tragedy that struck your family, Edmund, but I didn't think you'd go insane over it! Poor little Edmund."

Everyone in the lounge sniggered at the insult he hurled at Edmund.

Furious, Edmund seethed, "You're the one who's insane!"

There was a menacing gleam in Julian's eyes as he doubled down on Edmund's wrist, filling the air with the sound of the latter's bones cracking. Overwhelmed by the intense pain that shot through his arm, Edmund was forced to go even lower, his knees almost grazing the ground.

Julian's gaze was insidious, and he did not stop twisting Edmund's wrist as he barked, "Kneel and beg now!" He tightened his grip, practically pushing Edmund onto the ground.

But Edmund gritted his teeth and refused to cave even when his body was inclined to. He was forcing himself to stay as upright as possible. No matter what happened, he would never apologize to Odette.

Even as warm blood trickled down Edmund's temples, he remained standing.

Just then, Odette took a chair from the side and struck it against the back of Edmund's legs. "Obey Julian, you scumbag!"

Staggering from the impact, Edmund nearly fell to his knees, but he braced his weight against the table and did not back down.

He turned to glower at Odette menacingly. "I never thought you would end up this way, Odette. From now on, you and I will have nothing to do with each other!" he bit out.

She snorted derisively. "You must be an idiot to think I ever wanted to have anything to do with you, Edmund. You were the one who wouldn't leave me alone! You know what, your dad probably deserved to die, just like how you deserve to end up in this pathetic state! Get your facts straight! I should thank my lucky stars that I finally got rid of you, or I’d never find someone as brilliant as Julian!"
