Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 120

Chelsea didn't know that Hilton and Garry could be so shameless that they could make a scene at her workplace. It dawned on her that she had underestimated them.

Those two could do anything for money. They didn't even use their brains or care the consequences. Making trouble for her in the company would wreck her reputation and even make her lose the job. As a result, they wouldn't get a penny from her. Was that what they wanted? Chelsea's blood boiled at the thought of this.

After hanging up the phone, she went to the bathroom and washed her face. She stared at herself in the mirror and took deep breaths to calm down. Afterward, she hurried out.

She had planned to speak to Hilton and Garry after getting the paternity test result.

It never occurred to her that they would squander the twenty thousand dollars and start demanding for more money in a trice.

They were able-bodied men. How could they shamelessly depend on her while she was working her ass off?

On the way to Peak Entertainment, Chelsea called Chris to ask if the paternity test result was out yet.

"Oh, I was just about to call you. I asked my colleague about it just now. He said it won't be out until this afternoon. You have to be a little patient," Chris replied quickly.

"Okay, I see," said Chelsea, sounding a little disappointed.

Chris asked with concern, "Did they make trouble for you again?"

"No, not at all. I was just curious." Chelsea decided not to open up to Chris. He was Edmund's friend, so she feared that he wouldn't keep shut about it.

"Okay, that's good to know. Don't worry. I'll send the result to you once it gets out," Chris said softly.

"Okay, thanks." Chelsea then hung up the phone.

When she arrived at Peak Entertainment, she was told by her colleagues that Hilton and Garry had been ushered into the conference room by Luka.

Without wasting a second, she took the elevator to Luka's office. She coincidentally bumped into Purple and her assistant, Mia Gordon as soon as she got out of the elevator.

Chelsea's mind was set on going to see her troublesome relatives, so she lowered her head and tried to bypass the two women in front of her.

But they had other plans. They didn't intend to let her be even though she wasn't asking for trouble.

In a sarcastic tone, Mia quipped, "I wonder how a daughter can be so unfilial and wicked to her father. She didn't bother to visit him or even pay for his upkeep. Instead, she stole his money."

It didn't come as a surprise to Chelsea that Mia knew what was going on. After all, Hilton and Garry had been behaving like rascals before she arrived. There was no doubt that all the employees here had already known about it.

Nevertheless, Chelsea had to admit that Purple was as scheming as Megamind.

She never satirized the people she disliked in public. Instead, she got Mia to do it for her. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

One would think that she had no hand in her assistant's behavior. But Mia would never speak rudely to her superiors or colleagues without Purple's orders.

Chelsea was already in a bad mood due to the issue on the ground, so she wasted no time fighting back now.

She looked up at Mia and retorted, "It's such a shame that an educated adult jumps to conclusion without bothering to find out the truth first. It's a known fact that people like this always land themselves in trouble. Oh, I look forward to seeing that day!"

"You..." Mia was too stunned to speak. She hadn't expected Chelsea to retort.

Chelsea had something important to do, so she just eyed the two of them and walked away.

Last night, she had done a great deal of soul searching after her conversation with Zuri.

Life was about survival of the fittest. However, Chelsea was always gentle even though most people didn't treat her right. It was morally right to be a good person, but it wasn't wise to continue enduring oppression.

Her gentle attitude was the reason why she got bullied by the Nelsons, Diane, Hilton, Garry, Purple and a host of others she had met in the past.

It was high time she became ruthless.

She was fed up with getting trampled on, so she decided to only reciprocate good people with kindness.

If anyone dared to step on her toes, she was going to pay them back in their own coin.
