Chapter 212
“Yes.” Edward was not interested in getting involved in Sophie’s affairs. The more confused she was, the better. The truth of the matter was not important to him.
Mikaelson asked him, “Why don’t you bring the woman you like here and let me see her?”
Edward replied calmly, “Her mother is going to have an operation next week. She’s very nervous now. I don’t want to push her too hard.”
Mikaelson stopped, and so did Edward. He reached out to help the old man. The old man asked, “Didn’t they say that her parents were not around?”
“Yes.” Edward replied with certainty. After a pause, he added, “Besides, you and her mother know each other.”
“Oh?” Mikaelson seemed to believe it or not. He thought to himself that the more he grew up, the more cunning he became. His words could turn people’s minds into a mess, and in the end, he couldn’t scold him even if he couldn’t get the point. Now he still wanted to build a relationship with an old friend. He would do anything for this woman.
Edward went straight to the point. “Her mother is Sonya. You used to play cards with her.”
Mikaelson narrowed his eyes and thought for a while. He was old and had poor memory. It took him a long time to remember who Sonya was. He used to like to invite a few cards friends to play cards together. Now that he was pregnant, he didn’t play anymore.
Qi Chuying was one of his best friends. He had played cards several times. Indeed, he heard that she had a daughter. What was her name? “Susan?”
Edward shook his head and corrected, “Nelissa. Susan is not Sonya’s biological daughter.”
Mikaelson looked at his grandson, Edward, and listened to him continue. Edward probably told him the cause and effect of the matter, except for the thing between Sean and Anna. As for other things, he mainly wanted to see the old man’s reaction.
After hearing this, Mikaelson seemed to understand something. After all, he was an experienced man. He had seen many dirty means of rich and powerful families. He asked calmly, “Are you lying to me?”
Edward smiled and glanced at his watch. He walked back with Mikaelson and said, “I’ve seen Qi Chuying in the hospital. She’s still in a coma. Nelissa is indeed her daughter. She can’t fool people by blood.”
The old man shook his head and said, “Even if it is true, no one can prove that she is a fake. On the contrary, this identity will only bring more trouble to her, and there is no benefit at all.”
Mikaelson sighed in a low voice. If so, Nelissa was a poor girl. She was born in a rich and powerful family, but she didn’t teach anyone about the rules of survival of her wealthy family. It was good to protect her well, but if she didn’t protect her well, she would be at the mercy of others.
Mikaelson said that Nelissa’s mother would take her to see him after the operation.
Edward nodded and agreed.
The two of them walked back to the villa. Donald had already returned, but he didn’t know what he was asking about Han Penelope. Seeing that Han Penelope kept her head down and said nothing, Norah, who was next to her, fanned the flames as if she was watching a show. “That’s right. I don’t think that woman is a good person. She kissed your son on the street. Maybe she hired someone to secretly take photos of her. She set up a love trap for your son.”
Han Penelope was so angry that she couldn’t say anything. She didn’t dare to say anything in front of Donald.
Norah couldn’t bear to see Han Penelope in a good state. He wanted to slander Edward and said, “It’s better for a girl to be raised in a rich family. She’s so vain to seduce men everywhere. This kind of woman can’t enter the house. She’ll take your son’s property.”
Edward walked in and said in a cold voice, “Say it again!”
Norah’s face froze. When Donald saw that his son finally came back, he was also in a good mood. “You came back at the right time. I have something to ask you. What do you mean by what you said to the press at noon today? It’s not a big deal for you to make a scandal outside, but what’s the point of you acknowledging it? Do you know how many people called me today to ask about you?”
They were all watching a drama. He asked him who his son’s new girlfriend was and which family she was from, but he didn’t even know if this woman was round or flat.
Edward’s expression was fierce. He stared at Norah with a fierce look in his eyes. He didn’t give face to Donald and said directly, “Who asked you? Tell me a detailed list. I will visit you tomorrow. I want to see who likes to talk about my woman behind my back! Your wife is the same. If you can’t teach her well, I can help you!”
After saying that, Han Yingnan kicked over the tea table, and the tea set on it was smashed into pieces. The sound was very loud, and hot water splashed all over the ground.
This time, not only did Norah’s face turn blue, but Han Penelope also shrank her shoulders. Edward had always had a bad temper. When he was really angry, he could really scare bad people. At this time, seeing the hostility between his eyebrows, Norah began to panic and felt a pain in her back. She remembered that he kicked her off the stairs and she fell down with blood.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
Edward suddenly pointed at Norah and grabbed her with his hand. Norah was almost scared to death. He said, “If you have something to say, just say it in front of me and repeat what you just said. Say it!”
Norah didn’t dare to say a word. He just wanted to stay away from Edward. Donald’s youngest son was not as good as his eldest son. His actions were not ambiguous. Even when it came to women, he would still make people covered in blood and send them to the hospital.
“It seems that I kicked you lightly that year. I should be harsh enough for you to remember that you are only qualified to say anything after entering this door. Do you really think that you are my stepmother?” Edward didn’t know whether it was intentional or not. He held Norah’s big hand and gave her a push. Norah lost her balance and fell on the hot water, mixed with broken porcelain cups. Her palms and calves were pierced and bleeding.
Norah immediately cried out.
Donald was so upset that he couldn’t keep his face down. He shouted angrily, “Edward, you’re so arrogant!”
Edward had always been fearless. He was not even afraid of his father, but he was also extremely protective of his subordinates. He did not allow anyone to say something unpleasant to him! What Norah said this time completely provoked him. He hated this woman very much.
With a cold face, he said with a sneer, “If you can marry this woman, I can marry the woman I like. If you are not satisfied, you can abandon me, your son. You can drive me out of the house. From now on, I will not be surnamed Han. I will go to my mother’s surname. You just hold this woman and see if she can give birth to a child for you!”
Norah’s tearful eyes flickered for a moment, and then she raised her hand to cover her abdomen. Her face was pale, which made people panic.
Han once heard that his son wanted to change his surname, he was anxious and angry, but he couldn’t save face. He stared at Edward with his eyes, and he was so angry that his whole body was trembling.
Donald himself was a man and a woman. No matter how bad his son was, he was still a son. How could he change his surname and not his surname? This guy was so harsh…
“Well, have you finished?” Mikaelson finally spoke and came in to clean up the situation.
The old man had been standing at the entrance of the pass for a long time, so he could hear everything.
As soon as they entered the room, they heard what Norah said, and their grandson Edward’s face became ugly on the spot. Mikaelson knew Edward’s temper too well. No one could stop his anger. The horn was too strong and overbearing, so he could only let him vent it.
“It’s also my fault that I made a mistake in the direction of education in the past. I taught my young grandson, Edward, not to cry when facing a man’s problems. You are strong, but you are weak. You still have to climb to the other side and conquer him.”
Later, he was extremely proud. The male grandson of his old friend was still a crying soft bun. The male grandson of the Hales family straightened his back and did not cry when he fell down. He did not cry when he bled. No matter how wild he played, he would not make a fuss. He was very tough and had become a young man.
Who knew that they would fight every three days after school? The school teachers’ phone calls were almost reported every day.
…
He said that if the other party made him angry, he would beat him.
He also said, “It was you who taught him. He also hit me, and a piece of my elbow was hurt. I didn’t cry. Why is he crying? If he cries again, I will beat him until he doesn’t cry.”
At that time, Mikaelson thought that there was nothing wrong with it. Besides, it was the other party who provoked his grandson first. A boy’s friendship could probably make a good friend.
However, afraid that the young Edward would hit the wrong place, or encounter someone stronger than him and hurt him, Mikaelson also invited a former instructor in combat training in the military academy. On the one hand, he could train him and increase his height. On the other hand, he could teach him how to kill people and how to easily capture the opponent.
Sure enough, during that period of time, the school teachers called less and less. Mikaelson thought that Edward’s energy had been vented, and it was time to calm down.
It was not until one time that she realized that she had beaten him harder than before, and all of them were taken advantage of by her brother, Julian.
Mikaelson asked why he bullied his classmates. He had never taught him how to bully others.
The young Edward also replied respectfully, “It was they who provoked me first. They said that I called someone I don’t know, and several people came to block my way, so I fought back. Once, a group of people said that there was something ambiguous between me and a girl. I didn’t even know who she was. I was annoyed by what they said, so I hit her.”
Later, Mikaelson taught Edward that he couldn’t only talk with his fists. When he could think, he would use his brain to solve problems. He couldn’t fight for a lifetime. After stepping into an adult society, there would be no adult man who was better at fighting than others. He could only compete with his brain and IQ.
Edward was really well-educated. When it was time to be ruthless, his hands were very dark. Only when he entered the group and took over the work could his talent become more outstanding.
“Now, I’ve taught a man who I can’t tame. Mikaelson is old, so he can’t care too much. Edward is smart, and his temper is not so bad. As long as I don’t provoke him, it’s enough.”
Mikaelson called a servant to help Norah go upstairs and apply medicine to her wound.
