NovelEnglishChapter 1569
As Edmund caught the sight of this, the stabbing pain in his heart worsened. He gritted his teeth and stormed up
to the couch, then grabbed Odette's wrist. "Let's go, Odette!" he barked. However, Odette shook him off and
snapped, "What are you doing? Why should I go with you?"
Panic flooded Edmund as he gaped at her incredulously. "Why? Are you seriously askingthat right now?
Because you're my fiancee, that's why! H-How could you even hang around sother man and le him do all
those things to you?"
Upon hearing this, she sputtered. "Didn't your family tell you, Edmund? The Sinclairs have officially canceled our
engagement. From now on, our families have nothing to do with each other, and | have nothing to do with you!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAll the color drained from Edmund's face. "N-No, that's not possible. It can't be! You're lying to me, aren't you,
Odette? You must be! You toldyou loved me, and that you wouldn't marry anyone else butin this
lifetime! How-1 don't understand how you could call off our engagement just like that!" He clutched her wrist and
tugged on her pleadingly, urging, "Is someone forcing you to do this, Odette? Did your family put you up to this?
Tell me, Odette. Tell me!"
She tried to break away from him, but when she couldn't shake him off, she cried out anxiously, "Letgo,
Edmund! I'm not lying to you, and no one is forcingto do this. I'm the one who wanted to call off the
engagement! | never even loved you in the first place! Can you please just leavealone from now on?"
Edmund was as pale as a sheet as he stared at her in disbelief, desperate to wake up from this nightmare. "No!"
he yelled in anguish. "No, this can't be! You toldyou loved me! You said so yourself!" "Even if | did, does it
matter?" Odette scoffed. "I never meant it anyways. Do you really think | could love someone as unromantic as
you, Edmund? As if!"
The words hit him like a ton of bricks. Ashen-faced, he stood in shock as he gaped at the woman in front of him
with wide eyes.
Before he could snap out of his daze, Odette shrugged him off and said agitatedly, "Let go of me!"
He was completely bewildered, and he clung to her hand like he was clinging to his last thread of hope.
At that moment, Julian straightened up and reached out to grab Edmund's wrist, then twisted it. Edmund let out
a cry of pain and was forced to let Odette go.
However, Julian did not loosen his grip and twisted Edmund's arm even more until the latter bent at the waist to
accommodate the unnatural movement. At this point, his knee was mere inches away from hitting the ground.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJulian eyed him imperiously and drawled, "We've known each other for a long time, haven't we, Edmund? Shall |
leave you a piece of sage advice? Be a gentleman if you have any pride left. Odette's already made it clear that
she wants nothing to do with you, but you still went and grabbed her anyway. You ought to be ashamed of
yourself."
The others in the lounge clapped and heckled, sounding their agreement with Julian. Their gaze was full of
contempt as they watched Edmund get humiliated.
Julian was pleased, and as he stared at Edmund like he was the superior one, he bit out, "Odette's my girl now,
Edmund. | hope you at least have the good sense to respect that. I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself, for
old time's sake. Get down on your knees and apologize to Odette, then all will be forgiven. How about it?"
Odette clutched Julian's arm as she leaned into him, beaming proudly. "You're so sweet, babe! | love you so
much!" With that, she planted a firm kiss on his cheek.
Then, she turned to look at Edmund, and a wicked smirk curled on her lips. She looked was as if she was eager
to see him humiliate himself while apologizing to her.
