Chapter 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 asking me that right


    now? Because you''re my fiancee, that''s why! H-How could you even hang around some other man and

    let him do all those things to you?"


    Upon hearing this, she sputtered. "Didn''t your family tell you, Edmund? The Sinirs have officially


    canceled our engagement. From now on, our families have nothing to do with each other, and I have


    nothing to do with you!"


    All 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 told me you loved me, and that you wouldn''t marry anyone else


    but me in this lifetime! How—I 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, "Let me


    go, Edmund! I’m not lying to you, and no one is forcing me to do this. I''m the one who wanted to call off


    the engagement! I never even loved you in the first ce! Can you please just leave me alone 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 told me you loved me! You said so


    yourself!"


    "Even if I did, does it matter?" Odette scoffed. "I never meant it anyways. Do you really think I 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 waspletely bewildered, and he clung to her hand like he was clinging to hisst 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 thetter bent at the


    waist to amodate the unnatural movement. At this point, his knee was mere inches away from


    hitting the ground.


    The others in the lounge pped 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. I 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?" Co?tent of Dr?м??ovеls.cоm
