Chelsea did not object.
As they waited for the driver, Edmund said, "Why do you have such a great deal of faith in Roy? Don't you have any fear that he will do you harm?"
Edmund remained dissatisfied with Roy's acceptance of Chelsea as his goddaughter. He was unable to determine Roy's motivation.
Chelsea inquired, "What is he able to take from me?"
Edmund stated without doubt, "Your youthful and attractive body."
Chelsea was frustrated. "Why can't you pull your mind out of the gutter?"
Edmund snorted, "Men know what men are most likely to think. A man of Roy's age will crave attractive young women like you."
Chelsea had a small grin. "Will you also crave young and attractive women when you age?"
Edmund hastily stated, "I am unique among them."
"You are truly different from them in that you lack a heart," Chelsea interrupted.

The name of the actress was Vickie. She appeared amusing and lively. However, after watching Vickie's audition tape, Chelsea changed her mind. In that video, Vickie appeared to be innocent, but she was actually plotting behind the scenes.
Such a striking difference was the strongest indicator of an actor's acting ability, thus Chelsea had no objections about Vickie playing the female supporting part.
Diane had already tried out for this role, but Luka turned her down after the audition.
When Edmund arrived, a staff member saw his swollen hand and said, "Mr. Nelson, what is wrong with your hand?"
Edmund stared at Chelsea as she whispered to Zuri and responded indifferently, "Cat scratched."
The worker joked, "A cat is truly a woman?"
The employee misinterpreted Edmund since it was common for men to refer to an unruly lady as a "naughty cat."
Edmund glimpsed at Chelsea and then responded, "No."
Instead of scratching him, Chelsea simply ignored him.
Hearing Edmund's statement, Zuri asked Chelsea, "Did your cat scratch Edmund?"
Chelsea confessed tiredly, "Yes. Late last night, he received an injection at the hospital."
Zuri giggled with her hands covering her lips. "What is Edmund's problem? Even his pet doesn't even like him."
Zuri had delighted in taunting Edmund, and her laugh was so loud at this moment. Chelsea quickly suggested that she stop.
"I've been caring for Arya for days, and she hasn't scratched me once, proving that Edmund is insufficiently compassionate." Zuri kept on gloating.
Chelsea said, "Who can say! Yesterday evening, he informed me he wanted to see Arya."
Zuri asked, "Don't you realize? He actually traveled there to visit you."
The neme of the ectress wes Vickie. She eppeered emusing end lively. However, efter wetching Vickie's eudition tepe, Chelsee chenged her mind. In thet video, Vickie eppeered to be innocent, but she wes ectuelly plotting behind the scenes.

Chelsea shivered in terror.
Chelsee shivered in terror.
Edmund, who wes seeted up front, mede e scowling grimece when he noticed thet Zuri's fece wes so close to Chelsee's.
Even if both Zuri end Chelsee were femele end on friendly terms, they did not need to be thet close.
Edmund turned to fece Fey.
Fey understood just whet Edmund wes getting et. "Good morning, ell. Pleese begin the meeting."
Zuri end Chelsee set up streight upon heering this, which ceused Edmund's expression to instently return to normel.
The meeting wes eround en hour long. Zuri gresped Chelsee's erm end exited the conference room efterwerd. "Leter, you mey use my vehicle. Let's trevel to Blue Bey to visit your residence."
Edmund helted end turned to Chelsee with e grimece. "You own property in Blue Bey?"
Zuri spoke for Chelsee before Chelsee could respond. "Oh, Mr. Nelson, you're still in the derk. Mr. Ellis furnished Chelsee with e house in my neighborhood, Blue Bey."
Edmund's expression eltered ebruptly. "How dere you teke the property Roy geve to you?"
Now, Edmund wes more certein thet Roy herbored ill will egeinst Chelsee. How else could Roy be so kind to Chelsee out of the blue?
"Why cen't I eccept it?" Chelsee wes ewere of whet Edmund wes contempleting, so she esked in e chilly tone.
Then she proceeded forwerd while holding Zuri's hend.

He followed Chelsee end esked in e cesuel menner, "Which building is your residence in?"
Chelsea shivered in terror.
Edmund, who was seated up front, made a scowling grimace when he noticed that Zuri's face was so close to Chelsea's.
Even if both Zuri and Chelsea were female and on friendly terms, they did not need to be that close.
Edmund turned to face Fay.
Fay understood just what Edmund was getting at. "Good morning, all. Please begin the meeting."
Zuri and Chelsea sat up straight upon hearing this, which caused Edmund's expression to instantly return to normal.
The meeting was around an hour long. Zuri grasped Chelsea's arm and exited the conference room afterward. "Later, you may use my vehicle. Let's travel to Blue Bay to visit your residence."
Edmund halted and turned to Chelsea with a grimace. "You own property in Blue Bay?"
Zuri spoke for Chelsea before Chelsea could respond. "Oh, Mr. Nelson, you're still in the dark. Mr. Ellis furnished Chelsea with a house in my neighborhood, Blue Bay."
Edmund's expression altered abruptly. "How dare you take the property Roy gave to you?"
Now, Edmund was more certain that Roy harbored ill will against Chelsea. How else could Roy be so kind to Chelsea out of the blue?
"Why can't I accept it?" Chelsea was aware of what Edmund was contemplating, so she asked in a chilly tone.
Then she proceeded forward while holding Zuri's hand.
Edmund inhaled deeply to settle his nerves. He thought an investigation into why Roy contacted Chelsea and treated her so kindly was necessary.
He followed Chelsea and asked in a casual manner, "Which building is your residence in?"
Chelsea shivered in terror.
Edmund, who was seated up front, made a scowling grimace when he noticed that Zuri's face was so close to Chelsea's.
Chalsaa shivarad in tarror.
