Chapter 126

Although Chelsea had no idea why Chris reacted that way, she explained, "Yes, someone found outthat I'm an employee of Peak Entertainment. Some people are calling for my sack, so Mr. Pierce wantsto put out a statement declaring support for me. That way, people will know the company's standpointon the matter. It would also help kill the rumor to some extent."

Chris didn't know what to say when he heard this.

His friend, Edmund wasn't in the picture now that another man was about to help Chelsea.

Why wasn't Edmund doing the same? Didn't he know that now was the perfect time to start makingamends to her? How could he be so oblivious?

Chris felt that Edmund was supposed to be by Chelsea's side as she fought off the people against her.

Unbeknown to him, they had gotten into a fight because Chelsea refused to accept Edmund's friendrequest on Facebook. Their sore relationship was worsening by the day.

In a bid to help his friend and satisfy his curiosity, Chris asked, "Why aren't you asking Edmund forhelp? After all, you were once married to him and he knows all about how Hilton and Garry have beenpests. You need to go all out in fighting them. If Edmund takes sides with you, it will give you the upperhand over them."

In Chris's opinion, it would be an easy kill if Edmund came out to testify that he gave Hilton and Garry alot of money in the past few years. After all, hadn't he done that for Chelsea's sake?

Would he have spoken to them at all, let alone put up with their excesses if it weren't for her?

Chelsea pointed at her chest and uttered with self-mockery, "You want me to ask Edmund for help? Hewould never help me. He hates me so much."

The bad blood between them had gotten thicker after that night when he drunkenly asked her why sherefused to accept his friend request on Facebook.

Chris opened his mouth to speak, but words failed him.

He didn't expect that Chelsea firmly believed that Edmund hated her. It dawned on him that his friendmust have hurt her so much for her to still be carrying the psychological scar even after a whole year.

After dropping Chelsea off, the first thing Chris did was call Edmund.

"Hey, Chelsea was at the hospital earlier to get the paternity test result. Unfortunately, she bumped intosome cruel people who hounded her in the elevator." Chris came straight to the point as soon as theline connected.

Edmund, who was sitting at his desk in the office, sprang up to his feet. "What?"

"You heard me right, man. Some lowlifes bullied her today. She was so scared that she had to hide inthe dim stairwell. It took great effort for me to take her out of there. She was really traumatized," Chrisremarked.

Edmund was short of words.

He was aware that Chelsea was getting bashed online. Fay informed him about the development afterthe interview was recommended to her on Twitter. He had ordered her to act fast to kill the rumor.

The process was coming along well, so Edmund was certain that the matter would be dead soon. Tohis dismay, the issue was affecting Chelsea's daily life.

He imagined how scared she had been when she hid in the staircase. The mere thought of it made hisheart break. As he thought of the ruthless fellows that harassed her, his blood boiled.

Just when he was about to say something, Chris added, "What are you going to do? This matter isserious. Anyway, Chelsea said that Luka is helping her to clear the rumor."

This news made Edmund a little relieved but very jealous. He rolled his eyes and asked, "Since shehas already received help, why did you call me?"

Chris sighed deeply before responding, "Come on, man! You know exactly why I called you. From myconversation with Chelsea, I realized that she has a very bad impression of you. I told her to ask foryour help. Do you know what she said? She said no on the basis that you hate her so much."

After a short pause, Chris continued, "Well, I think it's safe to say that... That you are an unqualified ex-husband."

As soon as Chris finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Edmund was so irritated that he almostthrew his phone against the wall.

Was he that scary?

Why did Chelsea think that he hated her? Hadn't he been good to her since she returned?

Why was she judging him based on what he did in the past? He wouldn't refuse to help her now.

All she had to do was ask. He was more than willing to help her out.

"Gosh! What a judgy and troublesome woman!" Edmund grumbled, plopping down on his seat. Hestared blankly for a while. Afterward, he dialed Fay's desk line.
