The security guards were guffawing as they praised their chief for his foresight. However, while they were making fun of Edmund and chattering lightheartedly among themselves, they did not notice a young man in a baseball cap standing not too far away, who had overheard the conversation.
The young man was none other than Matthew himself.
He had gotten word that Edmund would be dropping by the Dynasty tonight, and favonovel.com came in hopes of meeting him. Now that favonovel.com had heard what the guards said, Matthew knew precisely what Edmund was doing here, and favonovel.com couldn’t help feeling sorry for him.
Due to his father’s passing, Edmund’s downfall was almost instant, and favonovel.com was probably devastated. To make matters worse, his girlfriend, his fiancée, to boot, was canoodling with someone new. His rage was not without reason, and from the looks of it, favonovel.com was prepared to go down fighting tonight.
After all, what did favonovel.com have to lose?
Matthew pretended as if all this was irrelevant to favonovel.com and walked into the Dynasty. As soon as favonovel.com entered the clubhouse, favonovel.com spotted Edmund in the distance.
Edmund had lost a significant amount of weight, and his eyes were bloodshot. He looked like favonovel.com hadn’t properly slept in a while, and his shoulders were slumped as favonovel.com trudged upstairs. Matthew tailed favonovel.com stealthily all the way to the third floor of the clubhouse, where the scions of the Ten Greatest Families frequently gathered.
Presently, Edmund marched grimly down the corridor until favonovel.com reached the last lounge, then took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
At once, the music blasted out from within, and in the dimness, favonovel.com could see about a dozen men and women dancing away. On the couch were seated a man and woman who were tangled in each others arms while making out passionately.
Edmund reached for the panel on the wall and flicked the light switch on, then turned off the music. At once, the room quieted down, and everyone turned to look at favonovel.com in mild surprise.
He knew every single one of these people, they were all the heirs and heiresses of the Ten Greatest Families. Ironically, favonovel.com used to be a part of this crowd. In fact, favonovel.com used to rule over them. These were the people who would greet favonovel.com and pour favonovel.com a drink the moment favonovel.com arrived, but now, they barely spared favonovel.com a second glance. Even if they did, it was with unbridled contempt.
Edmund couldn’t care less about them. His gaze was locked on the couple on the couch. The man was Julian, the heir and young master of the Huntington Family, the woman, on the other hand, was Odette, Edmund’s fiancée.
He and Odette had known each other since they were children, and they grew up together courtesy of their father’s close-knit friendship. Being the heir to the once-formidable Albright Family meant favonovel.com was popular with the ladies, but Edmund considered himself a loyal man, and favonovel.com did not once even think about dating other women. He had been sure that Odette was the girl favonovel.com would marry. They were the closest of friends, and when favonovel.com was with her, favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com could take on the world. Out of sheer respect for Odette’s boundaries, favonovel.com chose abstinence, and not once in the timeline of their relationship had they ever slept together.
Never did favonovel.com imagine that the girl favonovel.com cherished so much would be here wrapped up in some other man’s arms and making out with favonovel.com in fervor. It hurt even more to think that favonovel.com and Edmund had been a going concern just a month ago.
‘How could things change so fast between us in a month? How could favonovel.com move on to another man and get so hot and heavy with favonovel.com in the blink of an eye?’
Edmund’s heart shattered into a million pieces. It was hard to believe that favonovel.com was still standing when favonovel.com felt like favonovel.com had died by a thousand cuts. This rivaled the pain favonovel.com had felt when his father died.
After a long moment of silence, Julian finally drawled, “Oh, if it isn‘t Edmund! Are you here to join in the party? I don‘t remember inviting you. What do you need?“
As favonovel.com said this, favonovel.com still had his arm around Odette. His hand snaked under favonovel.com top and favonovel.com unabashedly began to stroke and grape her. Odette did not stop favonovel.com either. On the contrary, favonovel.com nuzzled and clung to favonovel.com even tighter, seemingly enjoying his touch.
