As expected, John was confused by the false intention that Edwards showed. He stared intently at the young man in front of him as he sized him up, his heart was filled with suspicion, could it be that Edwards was really suspecting that the culprit was someone else?
"What are you still suspecting? "A woman can be extremely ruthless and scary. She said it all because she resented that your father didn't divorce your mother..."
"John, Did you hear her say that? I still remember that you haven't seen the police statement. " Edwards suddenly caught on to what he was trying to say.
Sure enough, John's body froze, he had the urge to slap himself.
"It is just my guess., I actually knew about the things between April and your father. Your father had talked to me before, and said that he was considering to divorce with your mother and marry her." In a moment of desperation, John immediately changed his mind and tried to forcibly explain a few words.
"Is that so? "I heard that you were always dissatisfied with my father's management of the company. So I am very confused." Edwards bluntly asked him.
John is stocked. He realized that talking with Edwards is quite is never—jangling, if he is not clever enough, it would be very easy for him to get wrapped up and unable to get out.
"How could that be? He's my blood brother, and I'm so glad that he ran the company very well " John tried to be sincere, but he was able to say it out loud with a sincere face. If it was someone who did not know anything, they would believe his words.
However, Edwards laughed coldly, "you are so talktive that I can't even tell which word is true. But, why did you drug me all those years ago and let me sleep with Jane?"
John did not expect him to still mention what happened back then. His old face was pale white, but he had already thought of an excuse long ago, and laughed: "I just wanted you two to marry each other, you are so talented at such a young age, I love my daughter, and want her to live a happy life. You are so outstanding and she likes you, so it would also be a good thing for you two to be together.
When Edwards heard this, he felt that it was not true.
"So that's the case. I thought that you wanted to embarrass me and disappoint me. It seems that I've misunderstood your good intentions." Edwards also played along with him.
"Anyway it was my mistake, and I really hope that you can forgive me!" John didn't want to talk about the past anymore, so he endured it and apologized.
"It has already passed. Of course, I won't hold on to it any longer!" After Edwards finished speaking, he clapped his hands, and a server came in.
"Let’ s start to eat!" Edwards instructed directly.
John carried the teacup to his mouth and turned to drink his tea, a pair of fox-like eyes flashing incessantly. He already understood the reason why Edwards invited him to lunch. He was basically warning him about something. However, as a junior, what qualifications did he have to warn him? After a few dishes were served, Edwards took the chopsticks and said to John: "Uncle, make yourself comfortable.and enjoy the food."
