Chapter 74 Edmund Had Already Taken Action
On the way to the police station, Edmund asked Fay to call Diane and tell her to meet them at the police station. He needed to
resolve everything to make sure no one would hurt Chelsea again.
Diane sounded so surprised and confused over the phone. "Edmund wants me to go to the police station? Why? Is something
wrong? What happened?"
Fay answered seriously, "I don't know what happened. Mr. Nelson just ordered me to tell you to go there."
"Okay," Diane reluctantly agreed before she hung up.
Although Diane pretended that she didn't know what had happened, Fay truly believed that it was Diane who instigated the
assistant director to do it. After all, Diane had never been in her good books.
Edmund and Fay arrived at the police station soon and went to the meeting room that had been arranged. The first thing that
Edmund noticed when he stepped into the meeting room, was Chelsea sitting on the side with her head down.
The huge shirt covered her whole body, making her look petite and pitiful. Like a child who had done something wrong waiting for
her punishment.
Her eyes and nose were red. She must have cried a lot.
Her face didn't look too good either. But with just one glance, Edmund could see through what was going on in her mind. She
was only worried about Orlando.
Thinking back to when he had asked Leo to cut off the exposure of this matter, Edmund felt a little better. At least, Chelsea
wouldn't be so sad when she found out.
He wanted to get close to her, sit next to her and hold her as he comforted her, but his damn ego made him unable to move for a
long time. Instead, he gave a hint with his eyes for Fay to do it.
"Chelsea, are you okay?" Getting the hint, Fay walked over to Chelsea to comfort her.
"I'm fine. Don't worry." Chelsea raised her head and forced a smile at Fay. Then she looked at Edmund and the smile faded.
Sensing her gaze, Edmund pretended not to notice and glanced at Orlando.
Orlando had been called aside, and his agent tried to persuade him to stop being stubborn. Edmund got angry at the sight of the
young man who still looked unconvinced.
The young people were always so impulsive. He had resorted to violence when he didn't have the power to protect himself.
Even such a young man wanted to chase and protect a woman?
He had to learn how to control his emotions first. Otherwise everything would just go to waste.
"Mr. Nelson, why are you here? This is just a small trifle. You didn't have to handle it yourself." Gerry together with the assistant
director walked over respectfully towards him, but Edmund's warning gaze stopped them in their tracks.
Gerry felt a chill run down his spine and forced a smile.
But the assistant director was too dull to notice the shift in tension. When he saw Edmund, he immediately shouted, "Mr. Nelson,
please help me. It was all because of Chelsea that Orlando beat me up like this. Chelsea must quit this crew, or else I can't work
with her."
The assistant director believed that Edmund only listened to Diane, so he was extremely arrogant as he spoke.
As long as they drove Chelsea away to please Diane and were backed up by the Nelson Group, they would dominate the film
and television circle for sure.
Unexpectedly, Edmund shouted at him with an disgusted look, "Fuck off!"
The assistant director was stunned for a while not sure what was happening.
Was there some misunderstanding there? Hadn't Diane spoken for him to Edmund?
"No, Mr. Nelson. I..." The assistant director wanted to add something, but Gerry stopped him immediately.
Obviously, there was something wrong with Edmund's change of mood. They had just called Diane, and they were better off
waiting until she arrived to sort out the situation.
Worried that Chelsea would be influenced against Edmund by the assistant director's words, Fay bent down to comfort her as
she said, "Don't take their words seriously."
Chelsea shook her head and whispered to her, "I'm fine."
She looked at Orlando, who was being scolded by his agent, and said with a lump in her throat, "I'm just worried that I might get
Orlando into so much trouble."
Chelsea hadn't expected that Orlando would resort to such violence. If she had known it earlier, she would not have asked him to
help her.
Fay said quickly when she followed Chelsea's gaze, "Mr. Nelson has taken action. He has asked people to keep the whole thing
under control. This won't affect Orlando. So no need to worry."
Fay was glad that Edmund had taken action in time, or Chelsea would have felt guilty for a long time.
Hearing this, Chelsea was stunned for a moment. And then out of her experience, she assumed that he had obviously not done
it for her. Then she said mockingly, "Mr. Nelson is so good to Diane. He protects her so dutifully like this. I'm impressed."
