Chapter 140

Chelsea was shocked by Fay's revealing about Edmund's kindness. She lowered her eyes and saidwith a smile, "Maybe he is just scared of this issue affecting me so much that I wouldn't be able tocomplete the script on time."

Fay shook her head and said helplessly, "I'm going to change into more comfortable clothes. We canhave dinner when the take-out is delivered."

Immediately Fay left her alone, Chelsea took out her phone and sent Edmund a message to thank him.It read, "Mr. Nelson, Fay told me that you asked Brayan to send a lawsuit letter on my behalf. Thankyou very much."

Just as soon, Edmund sent a reply. "Rather than using words, why don't you show me how grateful youare?"

He was subtly implying that she planned a dinner date for them as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll do that!" Chelsea replied ignorantly.

She sighed dejectedly as she thought of how she was going to get him that pen. Fay was her bestoption right now. She couldn't go out with everything that was going on.

Fay came back into the room just as the take-out was being delivered. She opened a bottle of wine andsat down to chat with Chelsea while eating.

Suddenly, Chelsea said, "You know I can't go out now, right? Can you help me buy a pen?"

"Huh? A pen?" Fay's eyebrows furrowed in confusion.

"Yes, a pen." Chelsea nodded seriously. "Mr. Nelson has helped me a lot recently. I have to give him agift to express my gratitude for all his help. After thinking about it for a long while, I've decided that apen is the best thing I can give him right now."

Fay almost spat out the wine that was in her mouth when Chelsea said this in all seriousness. She triedswallowing the liquid with difficulty and ended up choking on it.

When her coughing fit had died down, she looked at Chelsea with red, teary eyes and said, "Well...Chelsea... I don't think this is what Mr. Nelson will be expecting as show of gratitude from you."

Chelsea's knitted eyebrows showed how distressed she was by this issue. "What else do you expectme to do? Knowing the type of person Diane is, I'd better stay away from him and not even try to havedinner with him if I love peace. I've thought about it, and the best thing to do is to give him a gift. Trustme, it's better this way for everyone."

Fay pursed her lips and then sipped on her wine. She didn't know what to say to that.

It wasn't as though Chelsea was totally wrong. She had reason to worry about Diane's reaction,especially considering how hostile the woman had been towards Chelsea lately. If Chelsea so much asgot close to Edmund in any way, Diane would never let her be until she was satisfied with her suffering.

Fay knew very well that the relationship between Edmund and Diane hadn't really been a close-knitone recently, but she couldn't say anything about that to Chelsea. After all, it wasn't really her business.As an outsider, she wasn't supposed to know that detail about her boss' personal life.

With all these facts coming into place in her mind, Fay knew she had to agree with Chelsea on thisone. "Okay, I'll buy it for you tomorrow morning."

"Great, thank you!" Chelsea said gratefully, and her face finally relaxed.

They were silent for a while, and then Chelsea added, "I know the brand of pen he often uses. You'll goto that shop and get it. When you buy it, you can go and give it to him directly."

Yes, Edmund had a very high taste in everything. Even the pen he used was luxurious and expensive.But Chelsea had to sacrifice and get it for him.

She had to consider the fact that Edmund had a high social status. If she gave him an ordinary pen, itwouldn't show how grateful she was. In fact, the message it would pass on would be that she wasn'tsincere.

Fay nodded with a straight face on although she really wanted to laugh.

She couldn't wait to see how Edmund was going to react when he saw the pen. She could alreadyimagine herself dying with laughter.

After the internet celebrity deleted the video and publicly apologized to Chelsea, the horror came to anend, and Chelsea was no longer slandered everywhere. It was now safe for her to go out.

Now, everyone was against Hilton and his son. Some people even found out that they were bothaddicted to gambling and usually hid crimes and all sorts of bad things for their profit. To the public,both of them were horrible people that didn't have the right to walk freely.

Hilton and his son had just got some money and were about to go and have some fun when they sawwhat was going around on the internet. They couldn't go out with everyone hating them, so they stayedat home and waited for it to pass.

Garry was so pissed off. "How did the situation suddenly change? And why the hell did we end upbeing the ones on the receiving end of their hatred?"

Hilton fell on the couch with a heavy sigh and said, "Brayan sent a lawsuit letter. Edmund must have ahand in it. He's the only one that can do this type of thing so quickly."

Garry shook his head and hissed angrily, "What is Edmund trying to do? Haven't he divorced Chelsea?So, why is he treating her even better than he did when they were still married?"
