Capítulo 270


    Edmund was so furious that he wanted to p the foolishness out of Sonya. When would she change and be a sensible


    person that could distinguish right from wrong?


    Pointing at her, Edmund said seriously, “This isn’t my fault at all. Don’t try to rope me into this nonsense!”


    From his sister’s words and behavior, Edmund put two and two together. It seemed like Alena downed the pills just to turn him


    against Chelsea.


    The matter had been kept under wraps. But someone in the police station had leaked the news that Sonyamitted crime


    against her brother’s ex-wife. It was only a matter of time before it blew up.


    Alena was afraid that her precious daughter would be disgraced and sentenced to jail, so she wanted Chelsea to withdraw the


    Lawsuit.


    The worry Edmund felt decreased a little. He reasoned that Alena must have taken only a few pills. She wasn’t going to die even


    though she was in aa.


    It became clear to him that his mother and sister were going to any length just to change his mind. How despicable!


    Then Alena was sent to the hospital for gastricvage treatment. As Edmund expected, she was soon out of danger.


    He stood in front of his mother’s sickbed and stared at her face. He felt a series of strange emotions watching her.


    Since when did his mother and sister be so bad?


    Was it really because of Chelsea?


    His thoughts wandered off on another tack. He was convinced it wasn’t Chelsea’s fault.


    Sooner orter, they would quarrel with him over something. It was in their nature to pin the me on others when they were the


    culprits.


    The reason why Edmund and Alena hadn''t quarreled in the past was because they had a simr standpoint then.


    As Alena wanted, Edmund excelled both in his studies and career.


    When Edmund was with Diane, Alena was overjoyed.


    Later, Edmund married Chelsea and there was a stirring of trouble.


    However, when she came to learn Edmund didn’t love his wife, she was quite satisfied.


    But all hell broke loose when Edmund said he wouldn’t marry Diane. This wasn’t what Alena had nned for her son.


    Edmund considered himself an independent man who had the right to make his own choices. How could he be expected to live


    his life as his mother pleased?Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Having worked in the business circle for so many years, Edmund never thought his biggest enemies would be his own family.


    The next day, when Alena woke up, Edmund was still beside the bed. He took good care of his mother but wouldn’t mention


    Chelsea or thewsuit.


    It was Alena who couldn''t avoid the topic.


    “Don’t you care about me?” she asked, her voice husky with anger.


    Edmund turned around and poured her a ss of water, pretending as if nothing had happened. “If Chelsea was really raped by


    those two men that day, Sonya would be in big trouble.”
