Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 142

Chapter 142

Hilton and Garry shared pensive glances. Hilton then asked, "What do you mean?"

"Did I stutter? Don't you understand English anymore? I said you should leave this city immediately!"Edmund uttered impatiently.

They had dared to put out a false rumor about Chelsea, so he wanted to teach them a lesson. He waslenient enough to tell them to leave. If he had his way, he would have thrown them in jail.

Like the greedy person that he was, Hilton decided to leverage this opportunity. He said, "I'm afraid thatrelocating is not for the poor. Since you want us to leave this city, you have to give us money."

How dare Edmund drive them away without giving them a penny? This wasn't how the world worked.Hilton reasoned that they needed to be paid off.

"In your dreams, old man! You won't get a dime from me!" Edmund yelled at him.

As he shook the glass in his hand, the ice in it made a faint noise. He looked up at them again and saidmore fiercely, "In case you don't know, that's not a suggestion. It's an order. If you don't leave, I have athousand and one ways to make sure you leave here broken. It's up to you."

"You!" Hilton pointed at him, his skin burning hot.

He thought Edmund invited them over to negotiate and give them some money. Much to his dismay, hewas sending them away without paying them off.

He wanted to fight back, but he stopped himself. Edmund's threat shook him up. There was a high

possibility that he would make good his threat.

Worse still, their suffering could start now since two vicious-looking men were already standing behindthem.

After concocting a potential way out of this mess in his head, Garry smiled and said, "Mr. Nelson, Ihave noticed that you are super protective of Chelsea these days. Are you in love with her?"

Edmund stared daggers at him, his lips sealed.

His silence was acquiescence in Garry's opinion. He cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Nelson, pleasegive us one million dollars and I'll tell you a secret that can be beneficial to you!"

Edmund scoffed and eyed him. Afterward, he snapped his fingers at the two brawny men behind them.

They immediately stepped forward. Before Garry and Hilton knew what was happening, they werepressed hard to the floor.

"Ouch!" The two of them cried out in pain at the same time.

Still seated on the sofa, Edmund looked down at them and commanded, "Now, speak!"

He was highly interested in knowing this so-called secret, but he didn't want to pay to hear it. He hadgiven them a lot of money for three whole years. And that was more than enough in his opinion.

The hatred Edmund had for these men now couldn't be quantified. If they had treated Chelsea well, hewould have shown them mercy.

They didn't, so he was going to be brutal.

Men who behaved like wild animals like these two were best dealt with the use of force.

Garry was hell-bent on extorting money from Edmund using the so-called secret. But he couldn't keepshut after his attacker exerted more force on his hand. It was as if his bones were one squeeze awayfrom cracking.

"Ah!" After screaming, he blurted out, "The secret is that Chelsea loves you. Four years ago, Ihappened to read her diary. She mentioned your name several times in it. She was head over heels inlove with you, so we sent her to your bed. I'm sure she still feels the same way!"

Edmund put down the glass and sat up straight.

Writhing in pain, Garry continued, "Chelsea would have never agreed to marry any man four years ago.She only agreed after replaceing out that it was you who slept with her that fateful night. She already lovedyou, so it was like a win for her. You might think that she was only with you for your money. But that'sfar from the truth. The truth is that she loves you so dearly. In fact, it was love at first sight for her."

Astonishment flashed through Edmund's eyes. He was too stunned to speak. He didn't expect to hearsuch words.

Chelsea used to profess her love for him, but he never believed her.

He felt that she was lying to him just so she could get the title of Mrs. Nelson. Whenever she expressedher love, he shunned her and hated her even more.

This was because he thought that she was on the same side as Hilton and Garry.

Even when she tried to explain that she was set up by them that night, he considered her a liar andgold-digging bitch. He refused to believe that she was innocent.

Back then, Edmund asked her why she agreed to marry him since she was allegedly deceived byGarry and Hilton. But she didn't answer. Thus, he concluded that she wasn't innocent as she claimed tobe.

It wasn't until now that he realized that Chelsea was telling the truth all along. She indeed loved him!
