Man With Super Medical Skill by Matthew

Chapter 1571

Odette's heartless words snatched the air from Edmund's lungs. Outraged, he clenched his jaw and roared, "What did my father ever do to you, Odette? How could you say that about him?"

She snorted and drawled, "I can say whatever I want about him. What are you going to do about it, Edmund? You don't honestly think you're still the high-and-mighty young master of the Albright Family, are you? As far as anyone knows, you've already been thrown out of the family like a stray mutt! How dare you talk to me this way?"

At once, everyone in the lounge burst into raucous laughter. Julian, in particular, guffawed as he praised, "Well said, Odette, though stray mutt might be an over-glorification of this useless piece of trash!" Then, he turned to eye Edmund imperiously. "I'll give you another chance, Edmund. Get down on your knees and apologize to Odette, then I might consider letting you off this time. If not, I'll chop off both your legs and you'll never get to kneel again!"

Edmund spat, "Go ahead. Kill me if you're so great! See if I'll flinch in the face of death!"

Julian's eyes widened by a fraction as he bit out maliciously, "Well, aren't you an ambitious one? Fine. If it's death you want, then so be it!" As he said this, he grabbed the paring knife off the table and lunged forward, aiming for Edmund's neck.

At the very last second, Edmund's gaze flickered over to Odette, who watched him with cold humor. There was not a single trace of reluctance and unease on her face. In fact, she even looked excited.

He could have come in before the tension escalated, but he chose not to; he needed Edmund to go through this agony so that he would finally let go of Odette and whatever rose-colored past they shared. Presently, Julian spat out a mouthful of blood and glared at Matthew insidiously, demanding, "Who the hell do you think you are? I'm the successor to the Huntington Family, and you just punched me!
