Chapter 40 Nyasia was on the verge of losing her mind . Since childhood , when had she ever suffered such humiliation ? But it was fine , she just had to endure it for a while . Edmund would definitely find a way to save her … After Nyasia was taken away , Lila was so anxious she paced in circles . She called Edmund , but no one answered . It was more than two hours later before Edmund finally called her back . " Mom , what's wrong ? " Lila could hear loud music on the other end of the line , along with the sounds of people drinking and playing games , and even the coquettish voices of women . " Where are you ? " Lila asked angrily . Edmund was silent for a moment before replying , " Just out with a few friends ." " Nya has been taken away , and you still have the mood to party outside ? " Chapter 40 " What ? " Edmund's tone immediately grew tense . " What happened ? " " Isn't it all because of that Neeta incident !" " Kaneeta really dared to do this ? " Edmund's temples throbbed . He hadn't contacted Kaneeta all day , waiting for her to come to him and apologize . But the whole day had passed , and Kaneeta hadn't made a move at all . He had even tried to subtly ask an employee who had visited Kaneeta that afternoon . He asked her if Kaneeta had mentioned him . But the person said no . Fine , Kaneeta was really something ! Feeling extremely irritable , he called a few buddies out for drinks . His friends brought along a few hostesses , but he didn't touch any of them - he just wasn't in the mood . Chapter 40 After two drinks , he even subconsciously wanted to call Kaneeta to report in . He almost dialed her number before remembering that he and Kaneeta were still in a cold war . He grew even more frustrated . He tossed his phone aside , thinking that if Kaneeta called him now , he wouldn't answer . After hanging out for more than two hours , when he picked up his phone again , he actually felt a faint sense of anticipation . He hoped to see a missed call from Kaneeta , or a message from her . But there was nothing. There were only a few missed calls from Lila . A 4 Kaneeta was really going to pursue this matter ! " Neeta is really going too far . Nya has been pampered since she was a child - how could she stand a place like a detention center ? " Lila sobbed . " It's just a small matter , is it really worth making such a big fuss ? Besides , didn't you say you'd find a way ? How come Nya still ended up … " " Chapter 40 " I … " Edmund didn't know what to say . In fact , before hearing about this from Lila , he had thought Kaneeta was just talking and wouldn't really press charges against Nyasia . So he hadn't taken any action . He hadn't expected Kaneeta to actually go through with it . Was she really not afraid of making him angry ? Not afraid that he would never speak to her again ? " Alright , Mom , don't cry . " Edmund forced down his irritation . " There's still time to fix this . It's not really a big deal anyway . " " " I don't care , just get Nya out of there ! " " Don't worry . " Edmund hung up and called to arrange for his men to handle Nyasia's bail . He really should have gone himself - he was worried about Nyasia too . But for some reason , he just felt restless , so he simply left it to his Chapter 40 subordinates . After hanging up , he slumped on the sofa , sighing repeatedly . " Ed , what's wrong ? " one of his buddies came over and asked . " You look like something's on your mind . " After speaking , he suddenly remembered something and teased , " What's up ? Is it because your dear little sister came back from abroad and is now fighting with your girlfriend for your attention , leaving you caught in the middle and torn both ways ? " His buddies knew a bit about what was going on between him and Nyasia . Of course , none of them would ever tell Kaneeta . Hearing this , a bitter smile tugged at the corner of Edmund's mouth . If only things were really that simple .
