Edmund looked at her and said coldly, "It's not me who dealt with them, but Roy."
"You may not know that they are too greedy and are not satisfied with the money you gave them. They contacted Roy without authorization."
"Roy sent them directly to the hospital." Edmund told Alena how Roy dealt with Hilton and Garry. Alena fell onto the sofa with a pale face.
Sonya was also shocked. No one would have thought that Roy could be so ruthless.
After all, Roy had always been an elegant and gentle image for so many years...
Edmund stepped into the house and didn't even sit down. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
He stood straight in the living room, looking distant and indifferent.
His feelings for Alena and Sonya slowly faded after their repeated unscrupulous actions.
"In the future, Chelsea and I don't need your blessings, nor do we need you to like her and accept her. I only hope you can remember that you don't have any malicious intentions against her or provoke her."
"You can't afford to provoke her."
After saying these words, Edmund turned around and left. Alena stopped him behind him and said, "Edmund!"
"What did you mean?" Alena got up from the sofa and rushed over to him, asking in disbelief, "Are you saying that you must choose Chelsea?"
Edmund looked down at his mother. In fact, she was a beautiful and outstanding woman. Otherwise, she would not have given him and Sonya such outstanding appearances.
It was a pity that her personality made her look meaner.
Speaking of which, she was also a poor woman. Because of her husband's disloyalty, she had been trapped in the cage of marriage and became unrecognizable day by day.
Edmund had advised Alena to divorce a long time ago.
But Alena firmly said that she would not divorce. On the one hand, she felt that divorce was too shameful. A divorce meant indirectly admitting her failure. She was so strong that she could not accept this.
Secondly, she didn't want Jaime's woman to replace her after the divorce. She said that she would take up the position of Mrs. Nelson even if she had to die, so that Jaime would never be justified with the women outside.
After that time, Edmund no longer cared about Alena's affairs. Her character was destined to make her unable to take it easy.
At this moment, Edmund fixed his eyes on his mother and replied firmly, "Yes."
He had to be with Chelsea. Edmund looked at her and said coldly, "It's not me who dealt with them, but Roy."
He didn't have so many feelings before, but recently this understanding became more and more clearer.
Alena was shocked and angry. "What's so good about her? There are so many women in Vertoak who came from a good family and are beauty with brains. Why do you have to choose her?"
Edmund lowered his eyes and calmly said, "If I had known how she was, maybe I wouldn't have gone this far."
It was precisely because he couldn't say what was good about someone that he sank deeper and deeper.
Alena refused to give up and said, "Even if you don't like Diane, I can introduce other women to you..."
"No." Edmund interrupted Alena and turned to leave.
Alena stamped her feet in anger, and Sonya finally came to her senses.
The mother and daughter hated Chelsea so much that they gritted their teeth. But now, there was nothing they could do about Chelsea.
Roy took action to deal with Hilton and Garry, and Edmund warned Alena and the others that Chelsea did not know about these things.
Hilton called her to ask for money. She was indeed very angry at that time, but then she became indifferent.
She wouldn't care about Hilton and Garry, let alone give them a penny.
That day, she put away the tableware sent by Edmund and sent Zuri away. After that, she focused on her work.
Luka said that he would come back in a few days to hold the kickoff ceremony of "The Crown", so she had to speed up her work on modifying the script.
She had been back from abroad for almost three months. Because she was efficient, the first draft of the script was almost completed. However, last time at the meeting, everyone proposed some suggestions, and she had more changes to make.
Logically speaking, there should be second drafts and third drafts after the first draft of the script, and it would take at least half a year for it to be settled. However, Luka, the director, and Edmund, the investor, both approved of the quality of her script, so after a unanimous discussion, they decided to start filming after the first draft.
The rest of the details were changed while shooting. This was actually a test of the screenwriter's skills, but Chelsea accepted the challenge.
The night before yesterday, Chelsea changed the script very late. The next morning, when she was still asleep, she suddenly heard a quarrel outside.
She got up in a daze, and then went to the window to open the curtain to look down. She was suddenly
awake.
He didn't hove so mony feelings before, but recently this understonding become more ond more cleorer.
Aleno wos shocked ond ongry. "Whot's so good obout her? There ore so mony women in Vertook who come from o good fomily ond ore beouty with broins. Why do you hove to choose her?"
Edmund lowered his eyes ond colmly soid, "If I hod known how she wos, moybe I wouldn't hove gone this for."
It wos precisely becouse he couldn't soy whot wos good obout someone thot he sonk deeper ond deeper.
Aleno refused to give up ond soid, "Even if you don't like Dione, I con introduce other women to you..."
"No." Edmund interrupted Aleno ond turned to leove.
Aleno stomped her feet in onger, ond Sonyo finolly come to her senses.
The mother ond doughter hoted Chelseo so much thot they gritted their teeth. But now, there wos nothing they could do obout Chelseo.
Roy took oction to deol with Hilton ond Gorry, ond Edmund worned Aleno ond the others thot Chelseo did not know obout these things.
Hilton colled her to osk for money. She wos indeed very ongry ot thot time, but then she become

Logicolly speoking, there should be second drofts ond third drofts ofter the first droft of the script, ond it would toke ot leost holf o yeor for it to be settled. However, Luko, the director, ond Edmund, the investor, both opproved of the quolity of her script, so ofter o unonimous discussion, they decided to stort filming ofter the first droft.
The rest of the detoils were chonged while shooting. This wos octuolly o test of the screenwriter's skills, but Chelseo occepted the chollenge.

She got up in o doze, ond then went to the window to open the curtoin to look down. She wos suddenly owoke.
The person standing outside turned out to be Roy. Opposite Roy was Edmund, who was dressed in sportswear and seemed to have just run back.
Chelsea was about to faint. She had just told Edmund not to let Roy know that they were neighbors. Unexpectedly, Roy ran into her today.
Chelsea heard Roy's asking for Edmund," Are you living with Chelsea?"
Hearing this, Chelsea almost collapsed. She hurriedly changed her clothes and went downstairs.
It was not Roy's fault for misunderstanding. As soon as Roy came to Chelsea's door, he saw Edmund, who had returned in the morning, running all the way to this building.
Roy immediately thought that Edmund was living with Chelsea. After all, he had never thought that the house he had given to Chelsea would be a neighbor of him.
Edmund didn't expect to be seen by Roy. He stopped and raised his hand to point to the next door of Chelsea. He said calmly, "Mr. Ellis, would you believe me if I say that I live next door to Chelsea?"
Roy's lungs were about to explode. "Do you think I'm a fool?"
Edmund knew that Roy wouldn't believe him, but at this moment, Chelsea hurriedly opened the door and ran out.
"Uncle, why are you here?" Chelsea first greeted Roy in surprise.
"I'm here to visit you." Roy simply replied and hurriedly asked Chelsea, "This brat told me that he lives next door. Chelsea, tell me honestly, are you living together with him?"
Roy swore that if Chelsea admitted that they lived together, he would definitely break Edmund's legs.
After Roy learned that Chelsea had liked Edmund for many years, but she had been ignored by him, therefore, Roy was extremely displeased with him. He could really do something as extreme as beating him up.
Chelsea quickly explained, "He does live next door."
Roy could not believe that such a coincidence would happen.
So he asked Chelsea again, "What do you mean? Why the hell he lives next door?"
Edmund replied on behalf of Chelsea, but his tone was very annoying. "What I mean is that the house that you picked for Chelsea after careful selection just so happens to be next to mine."
Roy was so angry at himself.
He regretted not asking about the owner of this house. He basically handed the lamb to the devil with his own hands.
