Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
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. Angered, Julian put his full force into twisting Edmund's arm. If the latter refused to comply, then his wrist would be snapped.

Alas, Edmund was a prideful man despite his sorry circumstances. He clenched his jaw and braced through the pain. He would much rather die than cave into Julian's tyrannical ways.

The tension went on, and suddenly, a loud crack resonated through the lounge. Edmund's arm had dislocated entirely!

His face scrunched up in agony, but he was still half-standing and showing no signs of wanting to compromise.

Upon seeing this, Julian grew even more outraged. Right now, Edmund was nothing more than a piece of trash to him, and having a piece of trash retaliate against him this way was borderline humiliation. "Tougher than you look, huh? You piece of shit! I'd like to see just how long you can go on like this!" With that, he kicked Edmund's knees and roared, "Get on your knees!"

Edmund thought his kneecaps might be shattered from the kick, but he still clung to the edge of the table to hold himself upright.

"You sure got nerves of steel, Edmund! Don't you worry, I've got all night to make you do as I say! I'll be damned if I can't!" Julian thundered as he grabbed an empty wine bottle off the table and smashed it down on Edmund's head. "Crawl and beg for mercy!" he ordered angrily.

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!"
