Chapter 856 Edward Wished He Could Disappear

"At home, he has an older brother, a younger brother, a sister in poor health, and a sick mother," Hestia spoke again.

Edward felt a chill down his spine; this might work to fool Hestia, but to deceive Hestia's mother? That's courting death.

Besides, Edward wasn't stupid. Hestia was openly defying her mother now, but her

sweaty palms on the way here showed she deeply loved her mom.

Edward felt a bit like crying without tears; this was self-inflicted.

"Actually..." Edward wanted to explain.

Electra's expression had changed dramatically, from initial anger to being impressed by Edward, and now to indifference.

It was a performance worthy of a film academy textbook, executed flawlessly.

Saul, standing nearby, looked at Edward and breathed a sigh of relief. With Edward's poor family background, Saul still had a chance.

"Mrs. Sharp, please don't get angry. The doctor said your leg has a slight fracture and needs proper care," Saul stepped in to play the good guy.

Although Electra didn't think highly of Saul either, she still spoke up because he had saved her. "Saul, I didn't mean to trouble you. I just heard you were back, and Hestia said she was getting married. I thought it was with you, so I called to confirm, but then an electric bike came out of nowhere."

Hestia's mouth twitched. So it was an electric bike accident.

Saul had deliberately left out details, making her think it was a serious car accident, and she had cried in panic on the way here.

"Mrs. Sharp, I also want to get back together with Hestia. I know she still has feelings for me," Saul sighed, feigning sadness. "Hestia, even if you're angry, you shouldn't joke about your marriage. The society is very realistic. Without money and with such a burdened family, you won't be happy in the future."

Electra's face remained sullen, saying nothing.
