Chapter 843
Derek was at a loss for words. After a while, he said helplessly, “I have given you the seals, so what do you want now?”
Derek put his hand on his chest and trembled.
Derek didn’t want to be at the mercy of Yusuf, but Suzanne was the hostage.
The first time Yusuf asked Derek for the seals, Derek refused. And then Yusuf slapped Suzanne on the phone.
Suzanne was brought up by Derek. Even though Derek knew that Suzanne and Yusuf were in the same boat, Derek couldn’t help worrying about her, so he gave them the seals.
Suzanne and Yusuf took good advantage of Derek’s weakness.
Therefore, when Yusuf slapped Suzanne, Derek was heartbroken.
Yusuf said viciously on the phone, “I want you to invite Chelsea out for me. If we can kidnap her, Edmund will be at our mercy!”
“You want to kidnap Chelsea? She’s just a woman. You can’t…” Before Derek finished speaking, Yusuf slapped Suzanne hard again, and Suzanne burst into tears right away.
“Grandpa, I’m sorry for what I did. Please help me.”
“He’s really going to kill me. He’s crazy…”
Hearing this, Derek had no choice but to agree. After that, Yusuf hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Soon after, Chelsea received the call from Derek.
Derek had never called Chelsea before, so Chelsea was a little surprised when she answered the phone and saw that it was Derek. “Derek?” Chelsea asked in confusion, “What can I do for you?”
Whatever happened between Edmund and Derek should have nothing to do with Chelsea, so Chelsea wondered why Derek called her.
Edmund, who was next to Chelsea, narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
He immediately motioned for Chelsea to turn on the speakerphone.
After Chelsea did as Edmund asked, Derek said on the phone, “Miss Williams, I want to invite you to dinner.”
“Dinner?” Chelsea was even more confused.
On the contrary, Edmund guessed what Derek intended to do at once, so he hurriedly shook his head at Chelsea, gesturing for Chelsea to refuse.
Edmund thought Derek was plotting against Chelsea.
Derek said very apologetically, “I’m so sorry for what Suzanne did to Mr. Nelson. You must be upset, so I want to invite you to dinner as an apology.”
Edmund shook his head at Chelsea again, gesturing for her to refuse. Chelsea stared at him and said, “Okay, then let’s make a date.”
Edmund stood up abruptly. Eyes full of worry, he reached out and tried to take her cell phone.
Chelsea dodged and signaled for Edmund to calm down.
