Leonard's POV:
To be honest, the conversation between Edwin and Rufus shocked me to the core. Although I had always treated Sylvia as my daughter, I couldn't believe that she would really turn out to be my biological daughter.
This whole situation was a mess and I couldn't think straight anymore.
Edwin's flustered gasp brought me back to my senses.
Rufus held me arm to help me steady myself and said worriedly, "Don't be too emotional. Just calm down first."
I took a deep breath and patted him on his shoulder before saying, "You can leave now. I want to talk with Edwin alone."
Hearing my words, Rufus hesitated.
"Don't worry, Rufus. If what Edwin said is true, I will definitely personally deal with this matter. I won't let you and Sylvia down."
In the end, Rufus just nodded and left the place.
Of course, Edwin didn't dare to sit anymore. He stood opposite to me with his head down. He looked as if he was still in a daze.
I snorted and said, "Stop pretending. Are you trying to find excuses to fool me again? We have known each other for many years. Do you think
I don't know you well?"
Feeling embarrassed, Edwin raised his head and pretended to take a sudden interest in a crack on the wall.
"Now, tell me everything you know!" I clenched my fists and forced myself to talk in the calmest tone.
"I have nothing to say to you." Obviously, Edwin was playing dumb. He was stubborn and it really pissed me off.
Because of his nonchalant behavior, I got so angry that I pointed at his nose with trembling hand and asked, "Are you trying to piss me off?" Edwin pursed his lips and said in a tough voice, "You will be angrier if you know the truth."
Hearing his words, I couldn't breathe and spat out blood out of rage.
