Chelsea said somewhat angrily, “Do you think it’s so easy? Flowers and nts are Lives. They may not


    be able to adapt to the new environment even if they are carefully nourished. “


    Edmund immediately confessed, “It’s my fault.”


    Chelsea went on saying, “As a punishment, you’ll sleep in the guest room tonight.”


    Edmund was all amused by her words. He put his hands on her shoulders, trying to pull her back and


    stop her from leaving.


    “Are you being evasive?”


    Since the two were still husband and wife, they must sleep together.


    They weren’t able to do it in the hospital but now they were at home. There was no escape for her.


    Chelsea was indeed trying to avoid it. But before she could make any other excuses, Edmund’s cell


    phone rang.


    Edmund didn’t let go of Chelsea’s hand even when she answered the phone. He sped her waist and


    wrapped her around him.


    In the past few days, Emilia had got how needy Edmund could be. He was like an octopus. He would


    stick himself on her the entire day. So, Chelsea gave up struggling.


    However, Edmund frowned as he listened to the call. His expression turned serious.


    Chelsea could hear that it was Fay calling. They should be talking about the industrial park in Grafstin.


    After hanging up the phone, Edmund said in a serious voice, “I have to go to Grafstin.”

    Chelsea asked, “What happened?”


    “Suzanne McBride’s father showed up and insisted that we should pay more. He asked for two million


    more. How greedy! And he kidnapped Suzanne, because of which her grandfather is now sick in the


    hospital.”


    Edmund was furious when he thought of what Fay had just said on the phone, “The Nelson Group had


    paid the McBride family with a price much higher than the market price, yet he asked for two million


    more. How absurd!”


    Edmund had given a very high price just to make the old man sign the contract without worry. And now


    they asked for two million more. The old man’s son was more than greedy.


    “He kidnapped Suzanne?” Chelsea was stunned and puzzled, “His daughter?”


    Edmund sneered, “Some people can do everything for money. Fay said that Suzanne’s father had


    been fooling around over the years. Old Mr. McBride cut him off in anger. So, he had been absent


    during Suzanne’s childhood. Suzanne’s mother died early. She was brought up by her grandfather.


    Suzanne’s father must have seen on the news that we are going to buy thatnd to build an industrial


    park. He sensed the profit, so, he showed up.”


    The idea of kidnapping one’s own daughter in exchange for money was simply crazy to Chelsea. She


    had never heard of such news before.


    Coming back to her sense, Emilia hurriedly said, “It must be tricky for Fay to deal with this matter


    herself. Yes, you should go there. Hurry up! I’LL go prepare your bags.”


    Edmund pulled her back, “But in this case, I won’t be able to visit Frances with you.”


    They had nned to visit Frances Strd tomorrow, for Chelsea’s health. Now the ns were all


    broken.


    To be honest, Edmund didn’t want to be separated from Emilia. He had pretended to be sick and finally


    was able to stay with her for a couple of days…

    Chelseaforted, “I can go there by myself. You need to focus on the matter of the McBride family.


    It’s important. Don’t worry about me.” Edmund stared at her, his eyes filled with reluctance.
