Capítulo 178
He thought Edmund invited them over to negotiate and give them smoney. Much to his dismay, he was 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 behind them.
After concocting a potential way out of this mess in his head, Garry smiled and said, “Mr. Nelson, | have noticed that you are super protective of Chelsea these days. Are you in love with her?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdmund stared daggers at him, his Lips sealed.
His silence was acquiescence in Garry’s opinion. He cupped his hands and said, “Mr. Nelson, please give 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 were pressed hard to the floor “Ouch!” The two of them cried out in pain at the stime.
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 had given 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, he would 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 keep shut after his attacker exerted more force on his hand. It was as if his bones were one squeeze away from cracking.
“Ah!” After screaming, he blurted out, “The secret is that Chelsea loves you. Four years ago, | happened to read her diary. She mentioned your nseveral times in it. She was head over heels in love with you, so we sent her to your bed. I’m sure she still feels the sway!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdmund 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 finding out that it was you who slept with her that fateful night. She already loved you, so it was like a win for her. You might think that she was only with you for your money. But that’s far 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 hear such 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 expressed her love, he shunned her and hated her even more.
This was because he thought that she was on the sside as Hilton and Garry. Even when she tried to explain that she was set up by them that night, he considered her a Liar and gold-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 by Garry and Hilton. But she didn’t answer. Thus, he concluded that she wasn’t innocent as she claimed to be.
It wasn’t until now that he realized that Chelsea was telling the truth all along. She indeed Loved him!
Hilton and Garry were finally taken out by the two brawny men. Even though Garry had told Edmund the secret, it didn’t change the situation.
Following them back to their residence, the two men even watched them as they packed up before sending them away.
