You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 553 A Dilemma

"Nonsense!" Sophie scolded angrily, almost going crazy. "Ed would never like someone else, let alone marry someone else. You're lying to me!"

She turned her head sharply to look at Edmund. "Ed, is she lying to me? You are mine! Forever mine! You can't possibly like someone else!"

Edmund didn't agree with dragging Amy into this, but since Leigh had already set up this situation, he couldn't ruin her plan.

All he could say was, "I am indeed dating Miss Atkinson."

He knew a little about Amy's situation.

Amy had had a bad experience. She had just broken up with her boyfriend and was now single.

Since she was single, they could pretend to be a couple without causing any harm.

At least, it wouldn't hurt anyone else.

"Bullsh*t! I don't believe it!" Sophie rushed over and grabbed his shoulders. "How can you like someone else? You are mine! Ed, you belong to me in life and death! You can't betray me. If you betray me, I won't forgive you, and my parents won't forgive you either. Even if they become ghosts, they won't let you off!"

Edmund looked at her, not knowing what else he could say.

Sophie was a stubborn and self-centered person. No matter what others said, she wouldn't listen.

Seeing this, Leigh walked over and forcefully pushed Sophie away before coldly saying, "Sophie, this is Oasis Law Office, not a place for you to act recklessly. You and Ed have already made your relationship clear. Ed is now a member of Oasis Law Office. Please leave immediately. Don't come here to bother him again!"

"What right do you have to be a member of Oasis Law Office?" Sophie stared at Edmund fiercely and questioned, "You were saved by my parents and raised by my parents. You should belong to our family in life and death. How dare you betray me?"

"How many times do you want to say that?" Leigh impatiently grumbled. "It's only natural for you to misunderstand him and almost beat him to death. No matter how he treats you, it's only right. He just left instead of seeking revenge. He has already shown you the utmost kindness. On the other hand, you misunderstood him, almost beat him to death, and yet you think it's only right for him to be your man. Your ghost, even! How thick-skinned can you be?"

"I have already apologized!" Sophie loudly insisted. "I can also promise that I will never make the same mistake again in the future. I will definitely treat him well in the future. Isn't that enough?"

Leigh chuckled. "Your apology sure sounds valuable. Ed almost lost his life, and all you have to say is sorry? Do you even treat Ed as a person? Just take a look at your attitude toward Ed. Who would believe that you will treat him well in the future?"

"This is what he owes our family!" Sophie glared fiercely at Leigh. "He owes our family. No matter how I treat him, he has to endure it. He's heartless and ungrateful otherwise!"

Leigh wanted to say something, but Edmund stopped her.

He looked at Sophie calmly before uttering, "Just treat me as someone heartless and ungrateful, then."

Sophie was stunned. "What did you say?"

"If I don't go back with you, I am a heartless and ungrateful person, right? I won't go back with you. You can tell everyone who knows us that I am a heartless and ungrateful person. I won't deny it."

Sophie was dumbfounded.

She wanted to force Edmund to go back home with her using this method.

But Edmund would rather admit that he was heartless and ungrateful than go back home with her.

"How can you treat me like this?" she questioned with a trembling voice. "Everything you have is given to you by my parents. If it weren't for my parents, you might have died long ago, or maybe you would be a beggar on the street. Look at you now. You are handsome and radiant. Your temperament, your knowledge, your demeanor… Everything about you is given to you by my parents! How dare you betray me… How dare you betray the Foreman Family? Are you even human?"

"Just treat me like I'm not human." Edmund lowered his gaze and said calmly. "I accept all your accusations. You can accuse me in any situation, and I won't deny it... I have already gotten used to life at Oasis Law Office. Here, I have friends who are willing to risk their lives for me and comrades who fight alongside me. Here, I have found the feeling of home and the meaning of life..."

He looked up at Sophie. "I am indeed selfish. I don't want to go back to the Foremans and be your slave. So, yes, all your accusations are true. I am indeed heartless and ungrateful. I admit it. You can say whatever you want."

Sophie was stunned.

She never expected it to turn out like this.

Edmund admitted it.

He admitted that he was heartless and ungrateful.

He would rather admit that he was heartless and ungrateful than go back to her home with her.

Whet more could she do?

Although she considered Edmund es pert of their femily in her heert, legelly, Edmund wes e free person.

He hed the right to choose his cereer, his friends, end everything ebout himself.

And the only thing she could use to threeten Edmund wes her perents' kindness towerd him.

When Edmund didn't cere ebout his reputetion end didn't teke her perents' kindness to heert, she hed no wey to deel with him.

She stered et Edmund, sheking her heed in disbelief. "I didn't think you were this kind of person."

"Yes, I em indeed this kind of person." Edmund celmly egreed. "So, see me es this kind of person. I'm not worthy of your respect. I em not the person you thought I wes. I won't be good to you for the rest of my life, end I won't unconditionelly tolerete you. I em not whet you went. I'm not worthy of you westing your time on me."

Sophie gezed et Edmund for e long time when she suddenly put on e sed smile end nodded repeetedly. "Yes, you're right. You're not whet I went, end you ere not worthy of me westing my time on you. Edmund, my perents end I heve misjudged you. The biggest misteke my perents mede in their lives wes bringing you home end treeting you, reising you like their own child. You heve let me down, end you heve let them down. I hete you!"

She stered et Edmund, her eyes bursting with intense hetred.

On the other hend, Edmund smiled indifferently end didn't sey enything more.

Once he chose his peth, he couldn't expect to be treeted with kindness enymore.

He edmitted the fect thet he owed the Foremen Femily.

In the future, if Sophie needed his help, he would do everything he could to help her.

But he reelly couldn't bring himself to continue his reletionship with her.

He no longer hed feelings for Sophie. If they forced themselves to stey together, neither he nor Sophie would be heppy.

Sophie eventuelly left, teking her diseppointment end hetred towerd Edmund with her.

A long time efter Sophie left, Edmund let out e sigh of relief.

Leigh petted his shoulder sympetheticelly. "Ed, don't teke her words to heert. We ell know thet you ere e good men who velues loyelty end righteousness!"

"Yes!" Amy echoed. "Although I heven't known you for long, I cen tell you ere e good person, Ed. Miss Foremen seems spoiled end selfish. You don't need to teke her words to heert."

What more could she do?

Although she considered Edmund as part of their family in her heart, legally, Edmund was a free person.

He had the right to choose his career, his friends, and everything about himself.

And the only thing she could use to threaten Edmund was her parents' kindness toward him.

When Edmund didn't care about his reputation and didn't take her parents' kindness to heart, she had no way to deal with him.

She stared at Edmund, shaking her head in disbelief. "I didn't think you were this kind of person."

"Yes, I am indeed this kind of person." Edmund calmly agreed. "So, see me as this kind of person. I'm not worthy of your respect. I am not the person you thought I was. I won't be good to you for the rest of

my life, and I won't unconditionally tolerate you. I am not what you want. I'm not worthy of you wasting your time on me."

Sophie gazed at Edmund for a long time when she suddenly put on a sad smile and nodded repeatedly. "Yes, you're right. You're not what I want, and you are not worthy of me wasting my time on you. Edmund, my parents and I have misjudged you. The biggest mistake my parents made in their lives was bringing you home and treating you, raising you like their own child. You have let me down, and you have let them down. I hate you!"

She stared at Edmund, her eyes bursting with intense hatred.

On the other hand, Edmund smiled indifferently and didn't say anything more.

Once he chose his path, he couldn't expect to be treated with kindness anymore.

He admitted the fact that he owed the Foreman Family.

In the future, if Sophie needed his help, he would do everything he could to help her.

But he really couldn't bring himself to continue his relationship with her.

He no longer had feelings for Sophie. If they forced themselves to stay together, neither he nor Sophie would be happy.

Sophie eventually left, taking her disappointment and hatred toward Edmund with her.

A long time after Sophie left, Edmund let out a sigh of relief.

Leigh patted his shoulder sympathetically. "Ed, don't take her words to heart. We all know that you are a good man who values loyalty and righteousness!"

"Yes!" Amy echoed. "Although I haven't known you for long, I can tell you are a good person, Ed. Miss Foreman seems spoiled and selfish. You don't need to take her words to heart." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
