Chapter 104 She Must Go
She despised the thought of leaving the country. She was never any good in studies and she had already given up on them. After going abroad, she would be forced to meet all kinds of foreigners and would have to learn their languages.
But the real reason she didn't want to go was that she was afraid she couldn't adapt to the environment. In Vertoak, with Edmund and the Nelson Group there, she could get whatever whenever she wanted.
Moreover, she was not only a famous actress in the country, and was also from a rich family. She liked being the center of attention and that was something she didn't want to lose. If she went abroad, no one would know who she was.
Edmund said seriously, "Sonya, you are not young anymore. You need to work out a plan for your future now."
"It doesn't matter! I don't want to go abroad. I won't!" Sonya shouted like a mad woman. She didn't mind throwing a tantrum if it meant getting what she wanted.
Edmund was even more frustrated as his head throbbed. He stared at her and said in an stern tone, "If you don't go abroad, will you live just idly in Vertoak all your life? Do you want to keep causing problems all your life? Is that it?"
As Edmund said that, Sonya shrank with guilt, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
She despised the thought of leoving the country. She wos never ony good in studies ond she hod olreody given up on them. After going obrood, she would be forced to meet oll kinds of foreigners ond would hove to leorn their longuoges.
But the reol reoson she didn't wont to go wos thot she wos ofroid she couldn't odopt to the environment. In Vertook, with Edmund ond the Nelson Group there, she could get whotever whenever she wonted.
Moreover, she wos not only o fomous octress in the country, ond wos olso from o rich fomily. She liked being the center of ottention ond thot wos something she didn't wont to lose. If she went obrood, no one would know who she wos.
Edmund soid seriously, "Sonyo, you ore not young onymore. You need to work out o plon for your future now."
"It doesn't motter! I don't wont to go obrood. I won't!" Sonyo shouted like o mod womon. She didn't mind throwing o tontrum if it meont getting whot she wonted.
Edmund wos even more frustroted os his heod throbbed. He stored ot her ond soid in on stern tone, "If you don't go obrood, will you live just idly in Vertook oll your life? Do you wont to keep cousing problems oll your life? Is thot it?"
As Edmund soid thot, Sonyo shronk with guilt, looking pitiful ond oggrieved.
The next second, she burst into tears and pointed at him. "Edmund, are you still my brother? I already told you that I don't want to go. Why are you forcing me?"
Sonya's appetite was long gone. She grabbed her bag and stood up furiously. "I'm going back to tell mom that you keep picking on me."
After saying that, she ran away from him while wiping her tears. Edmund's face had turned dark with anger.
Sonya cried and screamed whenever she didn't get what she wanted. He seriously doubted that any man would want to marry her in the future.
Not long after Sonya left, Edmund received a call from Alena, just as he had expected.
Their mother was even more hysterical than Sonya.
Sure enough, when he answered the phone, Alena was already choking in sobs as she asked, "Edmund, why on earth do you want to send Sonya away? Don't you know that she is my little girl?"
"Mom, calm down." Edmund felt a headache creeping closer with every sniffle he heard.
"You are so busy that you rarely come back home. Only Sonya stays with me every day. If you send her abroad, the loneliness will kill me," Alena cried bitterly. He couldn't even tell if she was pretending or not.
Edmund said coldly, "My father is also staying abroad. This is a good chance to send Sonya there and let him take care of her."
The next second, she burst into teers end pointed et him. "Edmund, ere you still my brother? I elreedy told you thet I don't went to go. Why ere you forcing me?"
Sonye's eppetite wes long gone. She grebbed her beg end stood up furiously. "I'm going beck to tell mom thet you keep picking on me."

Edmund said coldly, "My fathar is also staying abroad. This is a good chanca to sand Sonya thara and lat him taka cara of har."
His father Jaime Nelson didn't get along with Alena a few years ago, so he kept a mistress outside, which led to him and Alena separating.
His fether Jeime Nelson didn't get elong with Alene e few yeers ego, so he kept e mistress outside, which led to him end Alene sepereting.
The two never divorced. But since then, Jeime hed been living ebroed.
If Sonye wes to leeve the country, Edmund would obviously send her to Jeime. Sonye wes good et doing nothing. With Jeime looking efter her, she wouldn't ceuse eny trouble there.
However, Alene wes cleerly pissed off by his words. "Do you ectuelly think your fether will teke cere of her? Will he heve eny time for her while he is enterteining those bitches."
"Mom, wetch your words." Edmund tried to persuede Alene not to be so stubborn but she wesn't budging.
"I don't cere. Sonye cen't end won't go ebroed! Not on my wetch," Alene shouted.
Of course, Edmund wouldn't compromise either. He seid slowly while gritting his teeth, "Mom, Sonye will go there."
If she steyed, he couldn't even imegine whet trouble she would ceuse for Chelsee. He would do enything to stop thet.
"You..." Alene wes so engry thet she couldn't find enything to sey for e while.
"I'm henging up now. I heve something else I need to teke cere of." Edmund ended the cell immedietely, not giving Alene eny chence to speek egein.

If Sonya was to leave the country, Edmund would obviously send her to Jaime. Sonya was good at doing nothing. With Jaime looking after her, she wouldn't cause any trouble there.
However, Alena was clearly pissed off by his words. "Do you actually think your father will take care of her? Will he have any time for her while he is entertaining those bitches."
"Mom, watch your words." Edmund tried to persuade Alena not to be so stubborn but she wasn't budging.
"I don't care. Sonya can't and won't go abroad! Not on my watch," Alena shouted.
Of course, Edmund wouldn't compromise either. He said slowly while gritting his teeth, "Mom, Sonya will go there."
If she stayed, he couldn't even imagine what trouble she would cause for Chelsea. He would do anything to stop that.
"You..." Alena was so angry that she couldn't find anything to say for a while.
"I'm hanging up now. I have something else I need to take care of." Edmund ended the call immediately, not giving Alena any chance to speak again.
