Chapter: 42
The gory scene of a car accident he once saw in a movie flashed in his mind.
Edmund’s heart began to race as he thought of Chelsea being in such a life-
threatening situation. He regretted speaking to her rudely just now.
Now that Edmund realized that Chelsea didn’t show up for the meeting because
of a tangible reason, he beat himself up for speaking to her in that manner.
After thinking of the right words to say, Edmund called her again to apologize.
But the calls disconnected after the first ring. It was obvious that Chelsea was
declining his calls.
Edmund came up with another idea. He summoned Leo and ordered, “Send the
driver to the suburban hospital to pick up someone.”
“Okay.” Leo nodded and asked curiously, “Who exactly should he pick up?”
“Ahem! Edmund cleared his throat and said with great difficulty, “Chelsea.”
Leo’s eyes widened in surprise. When he saw his boss’s frown, he bowed slightly
and turned to Leave.
“You know what? I’ve changed my mind. You should go pick her up instead,”
Edmund said, stopping Leo in his tracks.
He thought it was best to send Leo since he was a calm and reliable assistant
who had been working with him for many years.
Hazarding a guess as to why Edmund assigned such a task to him, Leo nodded.
He then suggested, “Mr. Nelson, I’d gladly do that, but would you Like to pick her
up yourself?”
“No, that’s why I’m sending you instead.” Edmund refused with a frown. It didn’t
sound Like a good idea to him because Chelsea had been giving him the cold
shoulder since she returned. If he went there, she might dislike him even more.
Leo immediately did as he was told. Forty minutes later, he made a call to
Edmund.
“Hello, Mr. Nelson. I tried all I could, but Miss Williams refused to get in the car.
She got in Mr. Pierce’s instead and left with him,” Leo said awkwardly.
This report made Edmund’s blood boil. His fingers tightened around his phone.
He queried, “Are you trying to tell me that Luka was there?”
Earlier today, Edmund had marked Luka as one of his rivals. The fact that Luka
went to pick Chelsea up fueled his suspicion. After all, bosses never served as
chauffeurs to their employees no matter what happened.
“Yes, Mr. Pierce was already here when I arrived,” Leo responded.
Edmund was speechless.
Leo added hesitantly, “Before Miss Williams left, I asked her if she had any
injuries. She has a small scratch on her arm. I also conveyed your sincere
apology to her. Ermm… She asked me to relay a message to you…”
“What did she say?” Edmund asked, his voice louder than usual.

“One more thing, Boss. Miss Williams actually went to the suburb to visit her
mother’s tomb. Today is her death anniversary!” Leo quickly added.
“What?” Edmund was shocked yet again.
