Chapter 255 The Bad Seed
“Let’s begin!” The man with small eyes put on his gloves and walked towards the bed.
He glanced back at Edmond, his face showing shock.
“You… dressed like this, were you really planning to help me?”
Edmond, dressed in a white lab coat, wearing gloves and a hat, with Tristen’s glasses perched on his eyes, was mistaken for Tristen by the man with small eyes.
Edmond didn’t speak, he just pointed towards the door.
“Alright, you go ahead and leave. We’ll handle the rest,” the man with small eyes said with a resigned smile.
Edmond took three steps in two strides out of the room, colliding head- on with a man who was walking towards him.
He was one of the men in the small-eyed gang. Upon seeing Edmond, the man furrowed his brows. As they brushed past each other, he barked sharply, “Stop!”
Edmond didn’t stop walking.

The man sensed something was wrong, but it was already too late.
Edmond reached out and grabbed his arm, fiercely smashing his elbow into the man’s neck. The man grunted quietly and collapsed limply.
In a flash, the people inside the house noticed something was amiss and hurriedly came out.
Against the light, Edmond ran quickly towards the outside, just at that moment, a gunshot rang out-
With a “bang”.
All the noise had fallen into silence…
In the distance, Claudia, sitting in the car, suddenly felt a sharp pang in her heart.
“What happened?”
Horace suddenly asked.
Claudia clutched her chest, taking several deep breaths.
“My heart just suddenly ached a bit, it’s okay, it might be a pregnancy reaction.”
The effects of pregnancy reactions vary from person to person, she
might have just been too nervous.
“My friend said that he found out some information, Tristen was in an abandoned factory, but this factory might be involved in the trade of certain… org ans.”
As soon as Horace finished speaking, the only sound left in the car was the hum of the air conditioning.
Selling org ans!
“Edmond was his own younger brother, yet Tristen was so ruthless, he actually brought him to such a place.” Claudia clenched her fingers tightly.
Horace’s face hardened, “Perhaps not a real brother.”
At the press conference, Tristen referred to Edmond as a ba stard.
Ba stard, Edmond was not his brother.
Thinking of Edmond’s other identity, Claudia slightly furrowed her brow.
“Arrived.”
The car stopped at the factory gate.
Seeing this dilapidated factory and thinking of what Horace had just said, a wave of nausea suddenly surged in the pit of Claudia’s stomach.
“It’s dangerous inside, you wait for me here.”
“No.” Claudia stopped him, “Wait a bit longer… the police will be here soon, it’s too dangerous for you to go in alone.”
Seeing her worry about him, Horace gave a slight smile, didn’t insist anymore, and gently responded with a “Okay”.
Not long after, the police car arrived.
The police went in to search, and carried out several people.
Claudia hurriedly stepped forward to check, but she didn’t see that familiar face.
“Edmond…” She became nervous.
She had wanted to rush in while she was waiting just now, but even after the police had finished their business, she still hadn’t seen that person.
The police looked at each other, also somewhat confused.
“When we entered, these people were already tied up together, and we didn’t see anyone else.”
Upon hearing this, Claudia understood in her heart.
Edmond had turned danger into safety.
But he must have still been here.
“Edmond!” She shouted loudly at the dilapidated house.
The man smoking under the tree not far away suddenly stiffened.
“Young Master, aren’t you going to recognize it?”
The man next to me nodded his head towards the distance.
He knew, that woman, was the man’s greatest love.
“I was not Edmond.”
He was Magnus.
Tristen only knew that he was Edmond, but he didn’t know that he was also Magnus.
Before he actively joined the game, he had already investigated
everything, and then willingly entered the net.
That gun, it was his.
Magnus squinted his eyes and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
Just then, Claudia’s voice came from far and near:
“Edmond, I knew you were still in there, I knew you were still alive!” .
“You big liar!”
The girl’s voice carried seven parts gentleness and one part grievance, with a hint of choking.
Edmond stiffened.
The handsome face turned slightly pale.
The thing he feared most still happened!
Before the little person behind him could catch up, he stumbled and ran off to the side.
Claudia watched as the figure of the person moved further and further away from her.

This time, he was the one who escaped.
Claudia stood on the open ground, feeling empty inside.
She had known for a long time that he was still alive, she just never dared to believe it.
And now, she had no choice but to believe.
Edmond, the scoundrel, had deceived her once again. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
She slowly squatted down, covered her face, and cried out in hidden pain.
Soft so bs.

Not far away, a man’s voice rang out in jest, “Young Master, she’s crying.”
Did you cry?
Magnus stopped in his tracks, his heart wrenching painfully.
He wanted to run, because of the fear inside him.

He faked his death, he was afraid that she would hate him, and even more afraid that she would not forgive him.
Thinking of her crying, her face wet with tears like pear blossoms in the rain, Magnus was instantly filled with a heart-wrenching pain.
She cried!
She was still carrying a child, what if she ruined her health by crying?
Her eyes were so beautiful, what if they swelled from crying?
Anxiety was revealed in his stern eyes and brows. In the end, he tightened his lips, turned around, and walked back in the direction he came from.
His heart softened.
He admitted that he couldn’t let her go.
This heart, had already been hollowed out and given to her.
Even if she didn’t want it, he had never taken it back.
He took two steps for every three, heading towards the woman squatting under the tree.
Under the setting sun, the afterglow shone on her, soft and warm.
However, the man standing beside him was even more glaring.
Horace.
He picked her up.
Magnus’s pupils suddenly constricted
