Chapter 353 Old Stains

As expected, Charles's face darkened. He lashed out at him, "Edward, what do you want to say? Are you telling me that you and Nancy had been intimate?"

Charles asked, his eyes ablaze, his jaw fixed in a pugnacious tilt.

Edward kept drinking with a smile.

The more Edward ignored his questions, the angrier and more suspicious Charles became. His jaw tightened in a bone grinding clench.

He clenched his fist and fought to maintain an impassive facade. He reached for his goblet and downed the content in a couple of healthy swallows. Then he refilled Edward's glass as well.

Edward took another sip and looked up at Charles with a mocking smile.

"I know what you care about. All you want to know is whether I had sex with her... Right, Charles? Let me tell you..." Edward drawled. He was taking his time in answering the question on purpose.

However, it was increasing Charles's anger. An aching sickness started to fuel him, a sorrow unlike any he had ever known.

Edward continued to smirk. 'What a fool,' he thought.

"What are you laughing at? Just say it!" Charles bellowed. In fact, he was really beginning to get nervous at this moment. He was afraid to hear the answer he didn't want to hear.

"They don't want me to marry Nancy?" Charles asked, fresh anger flooding his brain at the prospect. He could not believe someone could stoop to such a low level. He would not rest until he got to the bottom of this!

Edward nodded and smiled, "Charles, you finally got it! To tell you the truth, I have always dreamed of being with Nancy. I love her more than you, absolutely not less than you! She is my illusion, but it's just my illusion. Let me make one thing clear! If you continue to make trouble out of nothing, I will turn my illusion into reality. Do you understand me?"

"Well, you don't have a chance, Edward!" Charles whispered between clenched teeth and shrugged. "So, if my marriage with Nancy is ruined, you are the beneficiary. Then these photos...It's you..."

Charles continued, his fists opening and closing at his sides. He knew that no one would do it for no reason.

Whoever profited from it was the one who did it.

If Edward loved Nancy as he confessed today, undoubtedly, he must be the beneficiary in this matter!
