Chapter 110 Shooed Him Away
Chapter 110 Shooed Him Away
It was crystal clear that Edmund was warning them not to show up in front of Chelsea or bully her again.
Hearing his warning, Alena and Sonya were shocked to the bones. Just as Sonya was about to protest, Edmund shot her a searing glare and said, "You will go abroad. And that is final!"
"Brother!" Sonya called out, stamping her feet in anger.
"I have other things to attend to. Once she gets discharged, take her home yourself." Edmund then stormed out without a backward glance.
Sonya was so angry and sad that she burst into tears. It pained her so much that her brother was still defending Chelsea despite the fact that their mother fainted because of her. How could he turn his back on them because of his hated ex-wife?
"Don't cry, dearie. Now we need to come up with other ways to deal with this matter. As I said before, you won't go abroad." Alena hated to see her beloved daughter cry, so she comforted her quickly.
Guilt had pricked her conscience in the face of Edmund's confrontation. She deliberately didn't speak as he chided them. She had no reason to find Chelsea and scold her, so she didn't dare to stand up to her son. She would have made matters worse if she did.
Never had Alena imagined that she would be retorted by Chelsea and even land in the hospital today. Today hadn't gone as planned. But Alena was still unwilling to give up. She began to think of their next line of action.
Meanwhile, Edmund drove out of the hospital's premises, intending to go back to the company. But on the way, he had conflicting thoughts. He suddenly made a U-turn and drove to Fay's residence instead. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Chelsea had gotten a grip on herself at this time. She was about to get down to work again when the doorbell rang.
Fay had gone out, so Chelsea thought she forgot her key. But her eyes met Edmund's face when she opened the door.
She didn't let him in. Standing on the porch, she asked indifferently, "Why are you here?"
"Ermm... I came to apologize for what happened today," Edmund responded in a low voice, his eyes fixed on her beautiful but cold face.
Chelsea sneered. "Oh, I see. You are quite good at apologizing, Mr. Nelson. You apologize on their behalf today. Will you do the same tomorrow?"
An indescribable glint flitted in Edmund's eyes. He rubbed his nose and said, "You got bullied today because of me, right? That's exactly why I took it upon myself to apologize."
His sincerity took Chelsea aback. It warmed her heart a little.
However, she uttered defiantly, "Since you know that I'm getting bullied because of you, why can't you stop showing up in front of me? How about we never see each other again?"
Chelsea vowed never to work on any script that was related to the Nelson Group in the future.
Edmund was short of words. He could only stare at her with sad eyes.
"Well, since you have nothing else to say, please leave. I have work to do." Chelsea shooed him away. She then shut the door in his face.
Edmund stared at the closed door without uttering a word.
He felt a painful lump in his throat. He swallowed hard and took a deep breath to suppress his anger.
She had shut the door in his face. What insolence!

After reasoning that Garry and Hilton would never get off her back, Chelsea decided to take the initiative to settle the issue.
She called Hilton later that day.
"Chelsea? So, you finally remembered that you have a father? Why are you such an unfilial daughter? Don't tell me you would have continued to hide from us if your brother hadn't traced you!" Although Hilton was shocked that she contacted him, he got over it and began to scold her.
After rolling her eyes, Chelsea said with feigned sincerity, "I'm sorry, Dad. I didn't mean to keep you in the dark. It's just that my schedule has been pretty tight since I came back. I only got time now. How have you been? Do you still live at that former home? I'd like to visit you soon."
It was pertinent for Chelsea to confirm her father's location because he and Garry were always moving.
They previously owned and lived in a three-story villa.
But things changed after her mother's death. There was no one to keep Hilton and Garry in check, so they acted more recklessly. In no time, they sold the house and gambled the money away.
Chelsea was in college at that time, so she lived in the school's dormitory.
Hilton and Garry lived in a rented apartment while they were down and out.
They had several debt collectors on their necks, so they had to move from place to place frequently.
Hilton, who had kept silent after hearing her question, suddenly shouted, "I have been sick since you abandoned me. I'm currently in the hospital. If you want to see me, come over here! I'm dying!"
