Chapter 75 You Are Fired
Fay was speechless. She didn't know how Chelsea had come to that conclusion.
Wasn't it obvious that Edmund had done that to ease Chelsea's guilt for Orlando? How could she misunderstand him so badly?
Unfortunately, Edmund had walked over just as she said that and he heard her. He was livid.
But it was not Chelsea's fault to think so. He couldn't even blame her. In the eyes of everyone, Edmund and Diane were already
a couple, so what happened to Diane was related to Edmund's and the Nelson Group's image. If the matter really made it to the
public, and Diane, who was the main instigator, was involved, it would be not good for the Nelson Group.
Chelsea could feel the anger in Edmund's eyes directed toward her, so she deliberately lowered her eyes back to her hands, so
that she wouldn't look at him.
She knew that he hated her now. If it weren't for her, his fiancée's name wouldn't be tarnished in front of everyone.
Diane arrived soon. She was wearing a stunning decent dress, with her long hair over her shoulders making her look gentle and
elegant.
She ignored everyone, quickly walked over to Edmund, and held his arm gently. "What happened, Edmund?"
Diane had a confused and innocent expression on her face that anyone who didn't know her would confuse her for a saint.
Edmund looked down at her without a word and pulled his arm out of her hands.
"Miss Stevenson, please help us explain it to Mr. Nelson," the assistant director cried anxiously when he saw the so-called
savior.
Diane clenched her teeth and looked at the assistant director, spitting, "Explain what to him? By the way do I know you?"
Diane had never been more thankful that she had chosen to be an actress and knew she had just staged an Oscar-worthy
performance.
She would do anything to make sure she wasn't exposed because she knew the consequences would be terrible if Edmund ever
found out the truth.
When Diane was planning the whole thing, she hadn't expected that Orlando would appear out of nowhere and help Chelsea out
of the predicament. She also didn't expect that he would beat someone up for Chelsea.
Now that it had turned out to be such a predicament, of course, she had no choice but to get rid of it as soon as possible.
Pointing at the groveling assistant director, Edmund looked at Diane and said in a grave tone, "He said you asked him to harass
Chelsea. Is that true?"
Diane pretended to be so angry that her shoulders trembled. "Nonsense!"
Edmund looked at her performance indifferently.
"I don't know them at all. I have never even met them in my life, how could they frame me?" Diane continued to defend herself,
and tears even fell from her eyes.
While wiping her tears, she peeked at Edmund. His eyes were so frightening as if he saw through everything. She was worried
that her act wasn't enough to fool him.
"Miss Stevenson, you..." The assistant director didn't expect that Diane would deny it. He tried to explain himself but stammered
in frustration.
Gerry pinched him hard to shut him up.
With a powerful aura, Edmund stood in the middle of the meeting room and looked around at the people present. He finally
asked in a deep voice, "What do you want me to do in this matter?"
Neither Chelsea nor Orlando said anything. But the assistant director shouted blatantly, "I want Orlando to apologize to me for all
of this!"
He couldn't let Orlando go after being beaten up like that. His pride would not allow it.
Regardless of his agent's objection, Orlando retorted resentfully, "No way!"
Ignoring them, Edmund looked at Chelsea and asked indifferently, "Miss Williams, what do you want me to do?"
"As long as Orlando is not involved in any of this, I don't care how you deal with them." Chelsea just wanted to end the matter as
soon as possible so that Orlando could get rid of the pressure and risk on his career.
It didn't matter that it was the assistant director who harassed her first, she could let him go.
She had no choice. After all, they had Diane and Edmund as their backers.
Chelsea couldn't win, and neither could Orlando if he decided to go against them.
But to Chelsea's surprise, Edmund suddenly turned to the assistant director and then to Gerry and said with a murderous look,
"From now on, you are fired and will never participate in the shooting of any Nelson Group's project."
