Chapter 141

Everyone close to Edmund and Chelsea knew that he didn't love her at all. Hilton and Garry wereaware of this fact.

But they didn't give a damn. Chelsea was like a pawn in their hands. They used her marriage toEdmund as a means of getting money from him any time they deemed fit. It never mattered to themthat Chelsea was being maltreated in the Nelson family's household. They practically sacrificed herhappiness and life for money.

Since the divorce between Chelsea and Edmund was messy, they hadn't expected that he would helpher now.

Garry's words made Hilton's eyes twinkle. Suspicion rose in his heart. Looking straight ahead, heasked thoughtfully, "Do you think that... Edmund began to have feelings for Chelsea after they gotdivorced?"

Garry was stunned for a moment. The next second, he threw his head back and burst into laughter. "Ifthat's the case, this whole thing is becoming more and more interesting."

Edmund hated Chelsea while they were married. But he began to develop feelings for her now thatthey were done? What a confused man he was! He only realized that he loved her after letting go.

Hilton held his chin and continued to analyze the situation. "The last time you confronted Chelsea ather apartment, Edmund strangely appeared, didn't he? This time, he helped her by producing thosetransfer records and also asked Brayan to take action. His actions only point at one thing. He's in lovewith her!"

Garry nodded hard in agreement. This was the only logical explanation for why Edmund was behavinglike Chelsea's knight in shining armor recently. He stood up from the sofa and excitedly said, "We canspin this development in our favor. Let us send Chelsea to his bed again. Once we do that, Edmund willbe indebted to us. He would have no choice but to give us a huge amount of money again."

"Shut up, boy! Why are you so shortsighted? Can't you look at the bigger picture? Think about thefuture!" Hilton got short with him, staring daggers at him.

Garry scratched his head. He then asked anxiously, "What's the bigger picture, Dad? What do youhave in mind?"

Hilton calmed down and replied, "Sending Chelsea is not a perfect solution now. We have to make agrand plan so we can be set up for life. Let's not rush things and end up getting little out of it. You knowwhat? We have to first make sure that Edmund really has feelings for Chelsea. If our suspicion turnsout to be true, we have to replace a way to get back into Chelsea's life. She has a soft heart, so she willtake us back if we feign sincerity. Once she and Edmund are back together, we will be set up for life!"

Garry clapped his hands hard. He gave his father a thumbs up and said, "You are a genius, Dad. That'sa great idea!"

Chelsea was just an upcoming scriptwriter. Even if they applied a lot of pressure on her, she could onlygive them a few thousand dollars.

Edmund was loaded, so it was better to ride on his coattails.

Hilton snapped his fingers and ordered, "Act fast! Call Edmund and set up a meeting with him."

Garry agreed and whipped out his phone. Before he could dial Edmund's number, a call came through.

It was from Leo. He said straightforwardly, "Hello, Mr. Nelson has asked that you meet him at FlowerBar tonight. Don't keep him waiting."

Flower Bar was a famous bar in Vertoak. It was the biggest bar Yusuf had under his chain ofbusinesses. This was where Edmund and his friends met to hang out with each other most times.

Hilton and Garry had wanted to see him, so they agreed readily.

They looked forward to the meeting. In their opinion, Edmund wanted to persuade them to stoptarnishing Chelsea's image. They planned to ask him for money in return for keeping their mouths shut.

Unbeknown to them, they were in for a big disappointment. Edmund had something else in mind.

When they arrived at the bar, they were ushered into a VIP lounge.

Two hefty and vicious-looking men, who were dressed in black, followed them into the lounge. Theystood behind the father and son like strong pillars. Cold shivers ran down the spines of Garry andHilton as they looked back at the tall men.

They began to suspect that Edmund had an ulterior motive for summoning them here. Otherwise, whydid he order the two bodyguards to come in?

Edmund was seated on the sofa with his legs crossed. Pointing at them, he went straight to the point. "Ihave a suggestion for you two. Leave Vertoak and go to a faraway land as soon as possible."
