Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 76 Begging For Mercy

Gerry and the assistant director panicked hearing what Edmund had said. They hadn't thought that things would come to that.

It was fine if they got reprimanded a bit but now they couldn't even work on any shooting of the Nelson Group.

That was no different from ending their careers.

The Nelson Group was the leader of the industry. If they were banned from the company then other companies wouldn't cooperate with them either.

Edmund's tone and expression didn't leave any doubt that he would do exactly as he said. The assistant director turned to Diane for help, but she looked away and ignored him.

The fear was just too much, his legs gave out and he fell to the floor.

Gerry's face had turned ghostly pale in shock. He hurried forward and begged Edmund, "Mr. Nelson, we are truly sorry. It's all our fault. We shouldn't have harassed Miss Williams. Please don't do this!"

At this point, the two couldn't even think of asking for an apology from Orlando who was there because of their stupid scheme anymore. Their earlier arrogance was nowhere to be seen, as they hoped that Edmund would let them go.

How could they have known that Diane would turn on them and that Edmund would be so furious?

Gerry felt foolish for only realizing then Edmund didn't even like Diane.

Ever since she came in, Edmund had looked at her twice and both times he had been indifferent, so different from how he looked at Chelsea.

Without even looking at him, Edmund said to Gerry lazily, "I'm not the one you offended. What's the point of apologizing to me?"

Gerry understood what Edmund meant. He immediately pulled the assistant director toward Chelsea and said sincerely, "Miss Williams, we're sorry. It's all our fault. I hope you can forgive us just this once. We will drop the case against Orlando and never speak of this again." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Seeing that Chelsea didn't say anything, Gerry added desperately, "If you want to hold us accountable, you can have someone beat us. We won't even resist."

Honestly, they were willing to do anything if it meant that they would get to keep their jobs.

Chelsea calmed down and held back her disgust for them. It was no use dragging it any further. "It doesn't matter. I accept your apology."

As long as Orlando wasn't affected, she didn't intend to pursue it anymore. She didn't even care about what happened to them.

Although Diane denied that she was behind everything, Chelsea believed that the assistant director couldn't have lied so blatantly while he was being hit.

The one she needed an apology from was not Gerry or even the assistant director, but Diane.

However, Edmund was obviously not going to blame Diane at all. He had probably fallen for her acting and believed that she hadn't done it. Though it hurt to let go, there was no need for Chelsea to hold on to the matter.

Edmund cast a glance at Chelsea with dissatisfaction. Why was she so merciful? She didn't even make the two men pay.

But Chelsea wasn't looking at Edmund, so he had to give up for now.

Since she didn't want to hold them accountable, he would have to deal with Gerry and the assistant director his own way.

Now that both sides wouldn't hold each other accountable, the dispute was settled. The director of the police station sent them on their way, silently hoping to never see them again.

Gerry helped the injured assistant director take a taxi and they left together, while Orlando left with his agent.

He had wanted to take Chelsea with him, but his agent was frightened by what had happened and refused to let Orlando get close to her again.

The last time Orlando had gone to visit Chelsea at night and was surrounded in the building by his fans, his agent had been annoyed. Today, Orlando had even gotten into a fight for Chelsea's sake. If things went on like that, the agent saw himself retiring early before the madness got to him.

Chelsea assured Orlando that Zuri would pick her up. It was the only way he would leave and not have to worry about her.

She waited for Zuri at the police station gate alone.

As she stood there, Diane, Edmund, and Fay came out together. With tears in her eyes, Diane followed Edmund as she stuttered, "Edmund, please trust me. I really didn't do it."
