Chapter 1162

The reality is, he didn’t stay silent because he despised her—he did it because he is selfish and calculating. To him, Lady Edna was nothing more than a liability. He knew that if he acknowledged her as his mother, he would be dragged down by her reputation as a mistress. So, to protect himself, he abandoned her without hesitation.”
