You, Me and Our Genius Twins

Chapter 544 Bizarre Train of Thought

"Edmund?" Ashley was taken aback for a moment before she chuckled and took out her phone, clicking into a photo. "Are you talking about him?"

The person in the photo was indeed Edmund.

"Yes." Weylam nodded. "So, you do know him, Miss Foreman! We are good friends. We're real close!"

"Is that so?" Ashley's gaze seemed to wander as she reminisced. "What is he doing now? Is he doing well?"

"Well..." Weylam lowered his voice. "Miss Foreman, I will tell you something, but please don't tell anyone else."

Ashley nodded, entranced. "I promise not to tell anyone."

"There is a rich woman who likes him, and he is now with that woman." Weylam quietly threw her a knowing look. "Miss Foreman, do you understand what I mean?"

Ashley froze. "H-He actually..."

Weylam poured her another glass of whiskey and leaned closer, speaking mysteriously. "Miss Foreman... he once told me that he had a fiancée who was a wealthy heiress. If he hadn't been framed by a despicable and shameless woman, he would have already become a wealthy man's son-in-law. Miss Foreman, is it true?"

"Despicable and shameless woman?" Ashley's face turned sour.

"Yes, that's what he said," Weylam continued. "He also said that the woman who framed him was his fiancée’s cousin. Although they are cousins, his fiancée is noble and elegant, beautiful and dignified, while her cousin is a short, ugly, and filthy sl*t!

"He only had his fiancée in his heart, but her cousin coveted him. Taking advantage of his illness and high fever, she plotted against him. After being set up, the first thing he did was go to the hospital for a check-up because he was afraid of contracting some dirty disease!

"Fortunately, he didn't contract any disease from that woman. But that woman might not be so lucky. He said she had a foul smell. Just by smelling her, he knew she was riddled with dirty diseases. She might have already died!"

"What bullsh*t is this?" Ashley angrily slammed the glass and fruit tray on the table to the ground.

"I'm not the one who said that," Weylam replied innocently. "It's Edmund who said it! He also said that his fiancée’s cousin is the most shameless woman in the world. He found her repulsive at first sight. The most disgusting thing he has ever done in his life is sleeping with her on the same bed. He even said—"

"Stop! Stop talking!" Ashley swept everything, including the wine bottle and fruit tray in front of Weylam, off the table.

"Miss Foreman?" Weylam pretended to be puzzled. "Why are you so angry?"

Madeline, who was sitting in the adjacent private room, commented, "Weylam sure can act."

With a little packaging, he could make his debut as a celebrity.

Sebastian chuckled. "My assistants are versatile."

Madeline nodded in agreement.

Ashley was still in a drunken rage as she swept everything off the table to the ground. "You know nothing! If it weren't for my father asking me to get close to Edmund, why would anyone be interested in him with his deadpan personality? Even if he kneels and begs me, I wouldn't even spare him a glance!"

Of course, this was a lie, a facade she put up for herself.

She had liked Edmund since she was young.

However, Edmund was like a block of wood who was uninterested in women. Besides obeying Sophie, he was cold toward other women, her included.

Edmund could be said to be the most handsome man in Yolas City. She had never seen a man more attractive than him in this city.

If Edmund were a wealthy young master, she would find a way to marry him no matter what.

Alas, Edmund was just an adopted son of the Foreman Family. Without the Foremans, he was nothing. She coveted Edmund's "beauty," but she didn't want to marry him.

If she married Edmund, he would have nothing once he left the Foreman Family, and she would have to endure a life of poverty.

She was indeed greedy, but she wasn't foolish enough to sacrifice her well-being for a man.

So, although she coveted Edmund's "beauty," it only remained in her thoughts, a momentary indulgence.

But her father ordered her to get close to Edmund. He even had her sleep with Edmund and get caught in bed by Sophie. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

She disagreed, but her father promised to compensate her.

Everything she had was given by her father. Although she knew that she would lose the opportunity to marry into a wealthy family if things got out of hand, she still had to obey her father's orders.

The only consolation for her was that she had coveted Edmund for a long time. From childhood to adulthood, she was always inferior to Sophie. Being able to sleep with a man who had slept with Sophie was a victory for her.

Her father's plan succeeded. She successfully slept with Edmund and was caught in bed by Sophie.

As she expected, the situation escalated, and her reputation was tarnished. It was impossible for her to marry into a wealthy family.

After the incident, her father compensated her by giving her a lot of money and several properties.

When she became a wealthy woman, she decided to let loose, no longer suppressing her true nature just because she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. Instead, she indulged herself and became a frequent visitor at Temptation Tavern.

Although the men she seduced could please her, they were all mediocre compared to Edmund.

Sometimes, when she was drunk and closed her eyes, she would imagine the men around her as Edmund.

Edmund was her first man, and she had never forgotten him.

She never expected that Edmund would speak of her in such a way!

She had given her first time to Edmund!

How could he say such things about her?

Furious, she spoke without restraint. "He is just a lowly and despicable dog raised by the Foreman Family. Even if my father forced me to sleep with him, even if he begged me on his knees, I would just kick him away with one foot! What right does he have to insult me? He is just a despicable b*stard who talks sh*t! A b*stard, I say!"

"What?" Weylam pretended to be confused and looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Your father forced you to sleep with him, Miss Foreman? But why?"

"Because he got in my brother's way!" Ashley angrily spat. "My uncle and aunt don't have a son. Meanwhile, my older brother is the only male heir of the Foreman Family. The Foreman Family should

belong to my older brother. And yet, my uncle actually wanted to groom Edmund as the heir! My uncle is an idiot. He told my father that Edmund is the child he raised. If Edmund married Sophie, he would be part of the Foreman Family. He could entrust Foreman Group to Edmund without worry. But what gives?"

Ashley's face was full of envy and resentment. "My elder brother is the true heir of the Foreman Family; he is the only male descendant. He should be the one inheriting Foreman Group. Why does Edmund think he can compete with my elder brother? Isn't he just trying to marry Sophie to get to a higher position? My father won't comply with his wishes. Not only will he never become a son-in-law of the Foreman Family, but my father won't even let him be an adopted son of the Foreman Family!"
