Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 240

Jaime and Alena were assaulted by Roy's anger. They stared at each other, frozen.

They hadn't expected Chelsea to be the goddaughter of Roy who was from the Ellis family. They were wary of offending him.

Alena had always looked down on Chelsea's family background. However, she suddenly felt inferior to Chelsea, which swelled her rage.

When she realized that Sonya might actually be punished by the law, she grew even more desperate.

Ignoring Jamie's and Alena's looks of shock and surprise, she said to Roy, amidst sobs, "Mr. Ellis, I'm at ease after hearing your words. I'll deal with the issue at hand first."

Roy spoke some more to her on the phone before hanging up.

Chelsea proceeded to open the door.

She'd already frightened Jaime and Alena with Roy, so it didn't matter if Edmund came in.

Edmund came in angrily. His eyes immediately went to Chelsea. He was concerned that she had been wronged by his parents.

Chelsea took a step back and avoided his stare.

"Edmund, this is the good girl you are in love with," Alena said in a vicious tone. "She's so special now. She has become Roy's goddaughter."

Edmund looked at Chelsea, astonished.

When did that happen? Why hadn't he known about it until now?

Chelsea continued to avoid Edmund's stare and didn't try to explain.

Raising her voice, Alena continued in a venomous tone, "Goddaughter? That doesn't sound like the right word to describe your relationship with him. I think you've taken Roy's wife's poor health as an opportunity to climb into his bed!"

Chelsea trembled with rage at Alena's filthy words.

Edmund was even more furious.

Gritting his teeth, he said gravely, "Mom, watch your mouth in front of others. If I hear any rumors about Chelsea, you will suffer the consequences."

Currently, even Edmund's parents quivered in fear at his harshness and domineering aura.

Edmund's warning chilled Alena. Frustrated, she said, "Edmund, I'm your mother. Are you going to go against the whole family for this shameless woman?"

Edmund, seeing Chelsea's pale face, pulled her behind him.

He stared at Alena emotionlessly and said in a cold tone, "The whole family? Does it mean you, my

father, and Sonya?"

These were supposed to be the people closest to him, yet they all did everything possible to hurt Chelsea.

Sonya, his mother, and even his father. They all hurt Chelsea with no regard to his feelings.

Alena didn't deny it.

"But Grandpa is on my side," Edmund said in a tone that mirrored his expression.

Alena was dumbstruck.

The power of the Nelson family was in the hands of Edmund and Ethan.

Although Alena and Jaime worked in the family business, they had no real power.

Edmund continued, "If you, my father, and Sonya change your attitude towards Chelsea for the good, I believe she won't make things difficult for you."

Chelsea was gentle and kind. As long as others treated her right, she would reciprocate that treatment.

Unfortunately, neither Alena nor Sonya sincerely wanted to apologize to her or make up with her. They didn't take Chelsea seriously.

Edmund blamed himself for this. He hadn't taken care of Chelsea in their marriage, which had caused his family to look down on her.

"You..." Alena was so angry that she burst into tears midway through her words.

"Stop it. Let's get out of here," Jaime said, stopping Alena from making a scene again.

Once Alena was pulled out of the apartment, Edmund closed the door.

However, Alena could be heard crying and ranting through the door, "None of the men in your family are good."

Edmund was unconcerned about his mother's hysteria.

He turned around to see Chelsea squatting against the wall, her arms around her knees. He couldn't see her face, but her trembling shoulders told him she was crying.

Edmund clenched his fists and said sincerely, "I know you are not that kind of person."

Although he didn't know why Chelsea became Roy's goddaughter, he believed her relationship with Roy was just that and not what Alena had said.

Chelsea raised her head slowly and asked scathingly, "I'm not that kind of person? Didn't you always think that I was shameless and a gold-digger?"

During the three years when Chelsea had been with Edmund, he had often humiliated her with the fact that she had slept with him when he was drunk.

She had tried countless times to explain that she had been framed by Hilton and his son, but Edmund

never listened. He had been so sure that Chelsea had no principles, yet now he claimed to believe she wasn't that kind of person.

Wasn't that ironic?

Chelsea felt tears fall down her cheeks again. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Alena must have been well aware of Roy's reputation in the business world.

Chelsea didn't care how Alena slandered her, but she couldn't stand hearing Alena humiliate Roy.
