Chapter 615 Guilty Conscience
As Edwin looked at David’s insistent indifference, a cold light flashed in his desperate eyes. So, this was how lowly David viewed him, to the point where he could be abandoned without any hesitation. The Saunders Family didn’t treat him like a human being at all! He had had enough of groveling like this!
Edwin’s eyes suddenly became fierce. He clenched his fists and suddenly stood up, snatching David’s cell phone directly and smashing it onto the ground.
David was taken aback for a moment, before his expression quickly changed again, and he provoked, “How dare someone like you try to hit me!”
Seeing the situation, the bodyguards behind him took a step forward as well.
Edwin suddenly laughed and mocked, “Dad, you’re my father-in-law, and I’m closer to you than my birth father. How could I hurt you? I just realized that I really am not worthy of Nana, so I’ll agree to the divorce.”
“Oh?” David looked at him in doubt. “Will you still be fine with it even if you leave this marriage with nothing?”
With a smile, Edwin shook his head gently. “Of course. During my recent stay in Saunders Residence, you and Nana have already given me a lot of care. How could I ask for anything else? I just have one last wish. I want to see Nana one last time, is that okay? You know how much I love her.”
David gradually lowered his guard. If this incident blew up, it would be akin to him announcing to the world that his son-in-law was a thief, which would ruin the Saunders Family’s reputation. It was good for everyone that Edwin was able to realize that.
“Yes, you can go now. After you see her, you don’t need to come here anymore. I don’t want to see you again. After that, I’ll ask Mrs. Woods to take the agreement to the psych ward, and you can just sign it there,” David said.
“All right, Dad, you can decide. However, can you lend me a car? It’ll take too long for me to walk over or take the bus,” Edwin asked gently.
“Give it to him.” David ordered the bodyguard to throw the car keys over, and then said sharply, “From now on, I’m not your dad anymore. Don’t call me that again! Mind yourself!”
Saying that, he left with his bodyguards.
As Edwin looked at the car keys in his hand, the smile on his face spread a little wider, and an evil light flickered in his eyes.

At school, after a few days passed, the students’ starstruck feelings for Elise subsided a lot, and they now treated her as an ordinary classmate. The last class in the morning was taught by Martin. Halfway through the class, Mason Young, the head of the physics department, suddenly knocked on the classroom door.
“Mr. Kamp, I’m here to look for the students in your class who are going to participate in the Know-All competition,” Mason said softly.
“All right,” Martin answered politely, turning his head to look at Mica. “Class rep, lead the team over.”
With a nod, Mica quickly got up from her seat and was about to call Sophie when the latter walked out by herself. Stefan exchanged glances with her before walking out.
Elise was using her phone and didn’t notice the movement in front of her. Mica whispered to her, “Elise, it’s time to go for practice.”
“Hmm? Oh, okay!” Elise was taken aback for a moment, then remembered that she had promised to accompany Mica, so she kept her phone away and walked to the door.
“Hold it.” Martin called her back. “You weren’t proactive at all when you signed up for the competition. What are you going there for? Sit back down!”
Elise stopped and shrugged her shoulders, looking at Mica for help.
