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!"
