You, Me And Our Genus Twins

Chapter 532 Brother, I Admire You!

Sophie's gaze fixed upon Madeline, revealing a disdainful expression that radiated her contemptuous thoughts.

Positioned behind her was a middle-aged man who ventured forward, whispering something in her ear.

She frowned, glanced at Lucas, and waved her hand.

The bodyguard standing nearby saw her gesture and immediately walked over to help Edmund Foreman down from the tree.

Madeline rushed over, crouched down, and checked Edmund's injuries. "Are you okay, Ed?"

Edmund weakly shook his head, his voice hoarse as he rasped, "I'm fine..."

Assured of the absence of internal injuries, Madeline dialed Leigh's number. "Leigh, come over immediately with the medical kit. Ed is hurt."

Leigh's medical kit was a treasured heirloom, cherished by her master. It was a constant companion, ensuring its presence in every situation. Madeline harbored no doubt that Leigh would forget to bring it.

"Understood. I'm on my way!" Leigh's voice emanated with a frosty edge. "Is Edmund's condition critical?"

"He has severe external injuries," Madeline said. "There shouldn't be any internal injuries."

"I'll be there shortly," Leigh affirmed. "Hold on."

After concluding the call, Sophie's sneer and lip curl persisted. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Sophie, the current head of the Foreman Family in Yolas City."

Lucas stood behind Madeline and quietly introduced, in a volume only audible to him and Madeline, "Yolas City is a famous tourist city in the country, with a prosperous economy. The Foreman Family is the richest family in Yolas City."

Madeline nodded and asked Sophie, "What is your relationship with Edmund?"

In this world, emotions seldom emerge without cause. Given that both individuals shared the Foreman surname, their relationship was evident.

"He is our family's servant," Sophie said contemptuously, glancing at Edmund. "He is also a traitor to the Foreman Family!"

Edmund sat against the tree trunk, hanging his head and remaining silent.

Madeline's brow furrowed. "In a society governed by law, equality prevails. Regardless of Edmund's past, he is presently a member of the Oasis Law Office. I urge you to demonstrate basic respect, Miss Foreman."

Sophie's sneer persisted os she uttered o scornful chuckle. "Respect is eorned, not bestowed. He is on ungroteful ond treocherous turncoot. Why should he merit my respect?"

"I don't believe it!" Modeline's goze wos firm os she soid decisively, "I believe in Edmund's chorocter. He is definitely not on ungroteful ond treocherous person. Every employee in our low office is honest,

kind-heorted, ond of exceptionol chorocter. I believe thot there must be some misunderstonding between you ond Edmund ."

"Well soid!" Leigh's voice rong out from o distonce os she ond Avery ond the others hurried over.

Seeing Edmund covered in wounds ond blood, everyone wos furious.

Modison coldly looked ot Sophie ond soid, "You better give us o convincing reoson, or we will never let you go!"

Sophie sneered, not toking his words seriously.

She glonced ot Edmund ond soid, "Did you heor thot? Your friend soid they will never let me go!"

Edmund gove o borely oudible sigh ond turned to the group. "I've olwoys ovoided bringing up the post becouse it's oll so heortrending. Every time the words ore on the tip of my tongue, I don't know where to stort... but..."

"But whot?" Leigh, who hod olreody opened the medicol kit ond found the oppropriote medicine, interrupted him, pushing o red pill into his mouth. "Toke the medicine first, then 'but'!"

Edmund couldn't soy onything.

He sighed, unoble to utter o word os he swollowed the bitter pill without even woter.

After odministering the orol medicotion, Leigh disinfected ond dressed his wounds. Mortin ond Rowon

stepped in to help.

Once the group finished ottending to Edmund's injuries ond properly treoted his wounds, Leigh potted his shoulder. "Alright, continue."

Wincing in poin, Edmund grimoced. "Leigh, could you be o bit gentler? Are you trying to give me internol injuries with your horsh treotment, just becouse my externol ones oren't serious enough?"

"You deserved it!" Leigh glored ot him. "You knew she hod ill intentions, yet you foolishly followed olong. Don't go oround soying we're colleogues out there. I don't hove o colleogue os dim-witted os you!"

Edmund monoged o wry smile ond looked ot Lucos. "Lucos I odmire you! Going ofter such o fierce womon tokes reol couroge. My opologies." Sophie's sneer persisted as she uttered a scornful chuckle. "Respect is earned, not bestowed. He is an ungrateful and treacherous turncoat. Why should he merit my respect?"

"I don't believe it!" Madeline's gaze was firm as she said decisively, "I believe in Edmund's character. He is definitely not an ungrateful and treacherous person. Every employee in our law office is honest, kind-hearted, and of exceptional character. I believe that there must be some misunderstanding between you and Edmund ."

"Well said!" Leigh's voice rang out from a distance as she and Avery and the others hurried over.

Seeing Edmund covered in wounds and blood, everyone was furious.

Madison coldly looked at Sophie and said, "You better give us a convincing reason, or we will never let

you go!"

Sophie sneered, not taking his words seriously.

She glanced at Edmund and said, "Did you hear that? Your friend said they will never let me go!"

Edmund gave a barely audible sigh and turned to the group. "I've always avoided bringing up the past because it's all so heartrending. Every time the words are on the tip of my tongue, I don't know where to start... but..."

"But what?" Leigh, who had already opened the medical kit and found the appropriate medicine, interrupted him, pushing a red pill into his mouth. "Take the medicine first, then 'but'!"

Edmund couldn't say anything.

He sighed, unable to utter a word as he swallowed the bitter pill without even water.

After administering the oral medication, Leigh disinfected and dressed his wounds. Martin and Rowan stepped in to help.

Once the group finished attending to Edmund's injuries and properly treated his wounds, Leigh patted his shoulder. "Alright, continue."

Wincing in pain, Edmund grimaced. "Leigh, could you be a bit gentler? Are you trying to give me internal injuries with your harsh treatment, just because my external ones aren't serious enough?"

"You deserved it!" Leigh glared at him. "You knew she had ill intentions, yet you foolishly followed

along. Don't go around saying we're colleagues out there. I don't have a colleague as dim-witted as you!"

Edmund managed a wry smile and looked at Lucas. "Lucas I admire you! Going after such a fierce woman takes real courage. My apologies."

Dating a woman as fierce as her? Now, that takes took some guts. Respect. Respect indeed.

Lucas was speechless.

Leigh smacked Edmund again. "Do you even realize the concept of 'knowing the times'? If you keep talking, I'll change your medication tomorrow. If the pain doesn't kill you, I won't be Leigh!"

"I'm sorry! Dr. Shefford, spare me!"

Seeing Edmund talking so casually with others and completely disregarding her presence, Sophie frowned unhappily as she was vexed.

Turning her frosty gaze toward the members of the Oasis Law Office, Sophie's voice dripped with cold intent. "Have you all forgotten your surroundings? Do you underestimate me?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Madeline countered, her tone resolute. "Miss Foreman, you are misinformed. We not only esteem your presence, but you also hold a place of significance within our hearts. If you fail to furnish us with a

rational account of today's events, rest assured that the Oasis Law Office and Foreman Family will become adversaries. Whatever actions you take against Edmund, we pledge to reciprocate twofold."

"Heh!" Sophie sneered, mockingly looking at Edmund. "A few years have passed, and you've become quite capable. Your people dare to threaten me now! Edmund, have you forgotten who raised you? Have you forgotten how my parents showered you with love? This is how you repay my parents!"

"Miss Sophie, Maddie is not my subordinate. She's my boss, and I work for her," Edmund looked at Sophie calmly. "I thought I settled my debt to you three years ago. What do you say? Do you think I haven't repaid you enough?"

He alternated between addressing her as "Miss" and making reference to her status, fueling Sophie's irritation.

All that pent-up anger surged within her, scorching through her organs, causing her eyes to redden. "Repaid? Do you truly believe you've repaid what you owe me? My parents raised you, treated you as their own, loved you more than they loved me, and yet you took my mother's life. The debt you owe me can never be repaid in this lifetime!"

She despised Edmund for causing her mother's death and even more for leaving without a backward glance, showing no attachment whatsoever.
