Chapter 122

Chelsea knew that Hilton would vehemently deny it, so she took the initiative to do the paternity test.

Garry seconded his father yet again, "It makes no sense that you are bringing this up now. Blood is notthe only thing that makes people family. Even if you are not my biological sister, our father suffered somuch to raise you since you were a baby. Shouldn't you repay him for that? Why do you want toabandon him after all he did for you?"

Chelsea sneered. "I should repay him? He raised me, so what? Besides, didn't you guys collect a lot ofmoney from Edmund while I was married to him? You should have invested the money in the rightplaces so you two can live comfortably for the rest of your lives. But what did you do? You squanderedit all on irrelevant things. How dare you insinuate that I haven't paid him back?"

In the face of Chelsea speaking facts, Hilton and Garry couldn't utter a word. They could only stare ather.

Chelsea continued, "You are both addicted to gambling, drinks and women. You wasted the money, notme. I don't have to give you a dime now!"

"Don't bother to talk to them anymore!" Luka, who had been listening to the conversation all along, waslivid now.

He pulled Chelsea back and sharply looked up at the two men. Pointing at the door, he said, "Get outof here now! You have the option of leaving on your own accord. Or do you want me to order thesecurity guards to throw you out?"

"Shut up, man! This is none of your business. Why are you interfering?" Hilton snapped.

Luka fired back in disgust. "Tsk, tsk! You have got this all wrong, Mr. Williams. You are in my company,so it's my business. I only tried to be civil with you because I thought it was just a tiff between a fatherand his daughter. Now that it's obvious that you are shamelessly harassing Chelsea for money, howcan I stand by and watch without doing anything? I don't want people like you here. Get out now!"

Keeping a stiff upper lip, Garry threatened Luka brazenly. "Oh, I see that you are still on Chelsea's side.Tell me, are you really just her boss? It seems you guys are doing some things behind closed doors.Do you know that I can expose your abnormal relationship to the public?"

"It's silly of you to think that I would be shaken by your threat. I have been in the entertainment industryfor so many years. What kind of storm haven't I seen? You can go ahead and speak to the media oranyone who cares to listen. I don't give a hoot!" After calling Garry's bluff, Luka called on security.

Some hefty security guards soon showed up and dragged Hilton and Garry, who continued to shout,out of the company.

"Thank you, Mr. Pierce." Chelsea was not in a good mood, but she quickly expressed her gratitude toLuka.

Afterward, she said apologetically, "I'm sorry that they came to cause trouble here. Had I known thatthey were going to do this, I would have stopped them."

Luka fetched a glass of warm water and motioned at one of the seats. "You don't have to apologize.Have a seat."

Chelsea took the glass and sat down. Luka continued, "What happened is not your fault. At first, Ithought that it was just a normal misunderstanding between family members, so I called you. Had Iknown that they were in the business of harassing you for money all the time, I would have thrownthem out as soon as they arrived."

Chelsea replied in a low voice, "Although I didn't expect them to come here, I knew that they wouldmake trouble for me sooner or later. I planned to go meet them myself after getting the paternity testresult. I wanted to give them some money at that time. But after what they did today..."

Chelsea lowered her head. She regretted being softhearted towards them all these years. "Honestly, Iwouldn't have thought of severing all ties with them if they treated me a little well and stoppedharassing me for money."

"Those two just illustrated the selfishness of humans. What an entitled pair!" Luka sighed, massaginghis temples.

"I reckon that they caused a huge scene before you brought them in here. Will this incident have anegative impact on the company?" The reputation of the company was what Chelsea was worriedabout the most.

She made her well-being take the backseat for now. She could always get the paternity test result totell Hilton and Garry off. But what would happen to the company? Would Luka be in trouble because ofher?

Luka responded with a comforting smile, "No, it won't have that much of an effect on the company. Isay so because you aren't a celebrity and you did absolutely nothing wrong. Even if anything seriousarises, I'll handle it. You can go back and continue working on the script."

A tight knot loosened in Chelsea's heart once she heard this. She held her chest and breathed a sighof relief. "Thank you, Mr. Pierce."

Luka smiled gently. "You're welcome."

Chelsea was taking a sip of water when Luka suddenly asked in a low voice, "Chelsea, have you everthought of replaceing a new home?"

Today's incident made Luka realize that Chelsea's messy divorce from Edmund was just the tip of theiceberg. He learned that her life was bumpier than he previously knew. His heart went out to her now.

He couldn't suppress his emotions anymore. The urge to keep her away from any harm becamestronger than ever before.
