“Shut up, boy! Why are you so shortsighted? Can’t you look at the bigger picture? Think about the future!” Hilton got short with him, staring daggers at him.
Garry scratched his head. He then asked anxiously, “What’s the bigger picture, Dad? What do you have in mind?”
Hilton calmed down and replied, “Sending Chelsea is not a perfect solution now. We have to make a grand plan so we can be set up for life. Let's not rush things and end up getting little out of it. You know what? We have to first make sure that Edmund really has feelings for Chelsea. If our suspicion turns out to be true, we have to find a way to get back into Chelsea's life. She has a soft heart, so she will take us back if we feign sincerity. Once she and Edmund are back together, we will be set up for life
Garry clapped his hands hard. He gave his father a thumbs up and said, “You are a genius, Dad. That’s a great idea!”

Edmund was loaded, so it was better to ride on his coattails. Hilton snapped his fingers and ordered, “Act fast! Call Edmund and set up a meeting with him.” Garry agreed and whipped out his phone. Before he could dial Edmund's number, a call cthrough
It was from Leo. He said straightforwardly, “Hello, Mr. Nelson has asked that you meet him at Flower Bar tonight. Don’t keep him waiting.”
Flower Bar was a famous bar in Vertoak. It was the biggest bar Yusuf had under his chain of businesses. This was where Edmund and his friends met to hang out with each other most times.
Hilton and Garry had wanted to see him, so they agreed readily.
They looked forward to the meeting. In their opinion, Edmund wanted to persuade them to stop tarnishing Chelsea’s image. They planned to ask him for money in return for keeping their mouths shut.
Unbeknown to them, they were in for a big disappointment. Edmund had something else in mind. When they arrived at the bar, they were ushered into a VIP Lounge.
Two hefty and vicious-Looking men, who were dressed in black, followed them into the Lounge. They stood behind the father and son Like strong pillars. Cold shivers ran down the spines of Garry and Hilton as they looked back at the tall men.
They began to suspect that Edmund had an ulterior motive for summoning them here. Otherwise, why did he order the two bodyguards to cin?
Edmund was seated on the sofa with his legs crossed. Pointing at them, he went straight to the point. “I have a suggestion for you two. Leave Vertoak and go to a faraway land as soon as possible.”

“Did | stutter? Don’t you understand English anymore? | said you should leave this city immediately!” Edmund uttered impatiently.
They had dared to put out a false rumor about Chelsea, so he wanted to teach them a Lesson. He was lenient enough to tell them to leave. If he had his way, he would have thrown them in jail. Like the greedy person that he was, Hilton decided to leverage this opportunity. He said, “I’m afraid that relocating is not for the
poor. Since you want us to Leave this city, you have to give us money.”
How dare Edmund drive them away without giving them a penny? This wasn’t how the world worked. Hilton reasoned that they needed to be paid off.
“In your dreams, old man! You won't get a dfrom me!” Edmund yelled at him.
As he shook the glass in his hand, the ice in it made a faint noise. He looked up at them again and said more fiercely, “In case you don’t know, that’s not a suggestion. It’s an order. If you don’t leave, | have a thousand and one ways to make sure you leave here broken. It’s up to you.”
“You!” Hilton pointed at him, his skin burning hot.
