Dumping My Ex to Flash Marry the Untouchable CEO의 모든 챕터: 챕터 2321 - 챕터 2330

Lucas said again, “I’ve said everything I needed to say. Whether you do it or not is your business.”After saying that, Lucas no longer wanted to pay Edwin any attention.As the saying went, kind words could not persuade someone bent on their own ruin.He only needed to do what was within his responsibility; there was no need to worry about the rest.So why think so much? Action was the best proof.It was precisely because Lucas understood this that he chose to act instead of sitting around waiting for someone else to save him.After saying all that back then, Lucas left directly.At the time, Edwin looked at Lucas’ retreating figure with utter disdain.In his eyes, everything Lucas was doing was nothing more than meaningless struggle.After all, he would eventually inherit the family group anyway, so why bother pushing himself to improve?To Edwin, everything Lucas did was completely pointless.As long as he muddled through his time abroad and completed the studies he was supposed to

He could see it clearly now.Edwin was completely trapped in his own world, unable to take in anything anyone said.Since that was the case, there was no reason to waste more words on him.Lucas turned around and went back into the hospital room.Edwin watched as Lucas showed no intention of stopping him, the hand hanging at his side slowly curling into a fist.He had known it all along. This family had never truly treated him as one of their own.In fact, there had been signs everywhere.Lucas having a studio of his own was something he genuinely had not known.Back then, he had indeed mocked Lucas, asking why he needed to start a separate studio.Wasn’t that just asking for trouble?But now Lucas had not only made the studio a success, he had even turned it into a Fortune Global 500–level company, something Edwin had known nothing about.If Lucas had not brought it up himself today, how would he ever have found out?Thinking of this, the chill in Edwin’s eyes grew even more pronounce

Precisely because he understood all of this, Edwin could not describe what he was feeling inside.In his eyes, he seemed like someone who had been used all along.His life had no real meaning; he was nothing more than a tool.From beginning to end, he had never received genuine care or affection.It felt as though he had always been used by others.Now, he could no longer find what the value of his life was supposed to be.Every time he thought about this, Edwin felt painfully pathetic.“Mom, have you ever really cared about me?”Edwin looked at Maria with disappointment in his eyes.Seeing this, an awkward look flashed across Maria’s face.“You silly child, what are you talking about?”She forced a light laugh. “How could I possibly have no feelings for you? You’re the child I gave birth to, a piece of flesh from my own body. In other words, you’re the closest person to me. Of course I have feelings for you.“Besides, you’re my child. If I don’t care about you, who would?”Edwin curle

That so-called love was nothing more than exploitation.She wanted to use him to climb to a higher branch.Edwin was already an adult—how could he not understand the logic of rising in status through one’s child?“When you say these things, do you actually believe them yourself?”Edwin could not help questioning his mother.Maria widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief.“What do you mean by that?”“Exactly what it sounds like.”Edwin stood up and looked down at her.“What kind of intentions you have toward me—whether it’s pure exploitation or exploitation mixed with a bit of genuine care—you know that best yourself.“From childhood until now, you gave birth to me, but have you ever really taken care of me?”Edwin let out a cold snort.“Back then, once you got the villa and that huge sum of money, you’d already stopped wanting to care about me. “If Dad hadn’t taken pity on me, on top of the fact that I was his biological child, how could I possibly have been brought back into t

Now it seemed she had ultimately underestimated the wealthy.Still, with a villa where she could settle down and a large sum of money to secure her future, she did not ask for much anymore.Back then, she had wanted to leave.The only question was whether to take Edwin with her.In truth, Maria had not wanted to take Edwin.In her view, Edwin was a Carter child.Why should he stay by her side?More importantly, how could staying with her ever compare to staying with Philip?She was nothing more than a maid who chased money, while Philip was different. He could give Edwin the finest education and the brightest future.When Philip passed away one day, Edwin would surely receive a share of the inheritance.By then, she could reappear and claim part of it for herself.Maria had imagined everything perfectly.But reality was never that simple.She had forgotten one thing—Edwin would grow up.As he grew older, he would see more of the world.In fact, even now, when she spoke to him, Maria la
