"No, it's not like that. It's not like that!" Sophie shook her head like she had gone mad. "My parents
saved Edmund's life, so his life belongs to me. I can do as I please. None of you are allowed to snatch
him away from me. Otherwise, we will be at odds and won't stop until one of us is dead!"
"Miss!" The middle-aged man behind him was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
What did "at odds and won't stop until one of us is dead" mean?
It was one thing to say this to ordinary people, but directing it toward the Harts was courting trouble.
From the conversation between Madeline and Lucas earlier, he finally grasped Madeline's true identity.
Initially, he assumed that she was simply in charge of the Oasis Law Office. However, from their words
and implications, he knew that she was the matriarch of the Harts!
The Foreman Family, a relatively modest household, had the audacity to issue threats to the matriarch
of the Harts, saying that they would be at odds and wouldn't stop until one of them was dead. Wasn't
this asking for trouble? Such a bold stance was akin to inviting disaster.
He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He reached out to pull Sophie behind him and
then apologized to Madeline and Lucas with a smile. "I'm sorry. It will be the anniversary of our lady's
death in a few days. Miss Foreman is missing her mother too much that her emotions got out of control
and caused her to say excessive things. I hope you can forgive her for the sake of Mr. Edmund."
"Davis, what are you talking about?" Sophie said angrily, "Clearly they were in the wrong, why are you
apologizing to them? They..."
"Alright, Miss Sophie, please refrain from speaking for a moment! You must be thirsty. Let's go; I'll get
you some water to drink!" The middle-aged man pulled her toward the living room while turning back to
Madeline and Lucas. "I apologize. I will definitely come to apologize in person another day… Are you
all still not stopping?"
He then looked at the Foreman Family's bodyguards. "Stop it. Quit fighting."
There were more than a dozen bodyguards, and only Madison, Benedict, and Edmund from Madeline's
side were fighting. Despite the odds, the Foreman Family's bodyguards found themselves not only
without an upper hand but also badly battered.
Madison and his companions played with them as if toying with mice. If they had been genuinely
determined, these dozen or so individuals would have been subdued long ago.
Though not incapacitated, they suffered significant injuries, exhibiting various signs of distress. They
were already crying in pain deep down from before, but without orders, they dared not stop.
Finally, the order came, prompting them to hastily retreat several steps.
As they withdrew, Madison and the others felt a twinge of disappointment.
In an era of peace, finding an opportunity for a fight was rare. For that reason, encountering such
suitable targets as the Foreman Family's bodyguards, a group of more than a dozen individuals, that
were ready for not a mere confrontation but a genuine fight was just too satisfying for they did not have
to be concerned about anything.
They fought fervently but refrained from incapacitating all opponents at once, ensuring the bodyguards
to not lose their fighting power immediately. Their intention was to engage the guards in a manner that
helped them ease muscle tension and unwind.
Nevertheless, before they were satisfied, the opposing side withdrew, leaving them wanting more.
After ensuring they were unharmed, Madeline expressed relief. "Let's go."
Meanwhile, Sophie was guided back into the living room by Davis without any hindrance, allowing
Madeline's group to leave without further confrontation.
Back at the Oasis Law Office, those who remained congregated in Edmund's room. Leigh examined
him carefully. "You're fine. I've treated the necessary wounds. I'll change the dressings tomorrow. Rest
well and avoid water."
Edmund nodded. "Thank you."
"A verbal thank you is not sincere enough. How about giving me some benefits?" Leigh smiled
mischievously.
"Leigh, your appetite for gossip hasn't changed a bit..."
"Why should it?" she said confidently, "The reason I joined the Oasis Law Office is because it's the
closest place to gossip. I can dig up juicier gossip here, right?"
Lucas was speechless upon hearing his words. He then suddenly recalled a phrase Leigh once uttered
before. 'Hurry up and tell me your gossip; make me happy.'
Edmund shook his head and sighed. "Well, there's nothing I should hide."
Among those present, aside from Lucas, were all comrades who had fought alongside him. He felt it
necessary to explain the situation to them so that they wouldn't feel uneasy when they see Sophie in
the future.
He slowly exhaled a breath. "As you can see, I am the adopted son of the Foreman Family. My
adoptive parents treat me as their own and love me very much. My relationship with Sophie... was
ordinary when we were young, but it grew stronger once our relationship was confirmed..."
"Edmund, do you genuinely like Sophie, or are you dating her out of gratitude?" Leigh's eyes sparkled
with intrigue.
Edmund replied, "It's a mixture of gratitude and genuine liking. As you know, it's difficult for a wealthy
young lady to find a suitable son-in-law. Sophie is the only daughter of my adoptive parents. She needs
to find a son-in-law to continue the family line for the Foreman Family. She doesn't like those who are
not outstanding, and those who are outstanding don't want to marry into the family. I am the best
choice."
"That's true." Leigh nodded. "Edmund, you are a handsome man. With you around Sophie all the time,
how can she settle for mediocrity?"
Edmund remained silent.
"But you compromised too easily, didn't you?" Leigh continued. "Sophie is not worthy of you at all. Did
you trade your lifelong happiness for repaying your parents' kindness?"
"It's not that bad, right?" Edmund responded. "For as long as I can recall, I've wandered without a
home or family. The Foremans offered me the warmth of a family, and my adoptive parents showered
me with parental affection. By marrying Sophie, I can stay in the family forever, have my own family,
and repay my adoptive parents' kindness. It's the best decision for me."
Leigh asked, "Do you like Sophie?"
He paused briefly before answering, "I had feelings for her three years ago... I had a youthful
infatuation, having grown up together and all. Over time, my feelings for Sophie are different from those
for others..."
However, even the deepest feelings couldn't withstand erosion, not to mention the feelings between
him and Sophie were not that deep, to begin with.
She had once subjected him to torment, and his already diminished affection further waned. Being
locked in the basement by Sophie for over two months nearly led to his demise on multiple occasions
due to her torment.
Having endured life-and-death situations, even the most profound emotions would wither away.
"I understand!" Leigh nodded. "When you say you used to like her, it means you no longer like her
now."
Edmund tugged at his lips. "Yes."
I no longer like her anymore. Not a single bit.
All I want is to part ways in the future and never cross paths with her again.
But unfortunately, she just wouldn't let me go.
"It's okay, Edmund. Don't be disheartened," Leigh patted his shoulder. "Isn't Sophie so self-righteous
because she's determined that you caused her mother's death? We'll help you find out the truth, deliver
a resounding blow to her pride, and see if she can still confront you with a straight face!"
