Chapter 192

Fay breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the calm expression on Edmund's face. She thanked herstars that he hadn't heard what they said. Otherwise, the story would have been different.

Edmund didn't go home after leaving the company. He headed for Chelsea's residence instead.

Just when he reached the last intersection close to her apartment, he made a U-turn and drove home.

It had just occurred to him that Chelsea would be jetlagged since she just got back. He decided to giveher time to rest tonight. Besides, she was going to attend Roy's book signing tomorrow. He decided tosee her there.

Later that night, voices could be heard from the minibus that was parked on the street of Chelsea'shome.

A hooligan with colorful hair said on the phone, "Ma'am, the woman you asked us to look out for justreturned home."

A vicious female voice came from the other end of the line. "That's great! Continue to keep an eye onher. Once she gets out of her apartment, you have to abduct her as planned. Make no mistakes. Doyou understand?"

"Yes, Ms. Nelson. We promise to do a clean job. You can count on us," the man replied confidently.

After hanging up the phone, he said to his companion excitedly, "We have to do this job well. The pay

is a lot of money!"

"Yeah, it is! I am already thinking of the many things I would do with my share. It would sustain me for along time." The other thug rubbed his palms together as he nodded his head.

The man with the colorful hair licked his lips. His eyes glinted with lust. "Ms. Nelson said that we couldfuck that girl after we abduct her. Did you see her just now? She's so beautiful. Something tells meshe's sweet down there. I can't wait to have a taste of her!"

Lust clouded the other man's face too. He commented, "Uh, you can say that again. Not only is shebeautiful, but she also has a good figure. Her perfect ass drew my attention as she walked into herapartment. I really want to squeeze them."

The man's body trembled as an electrifying sensation traveled to his groin. His eyes gleamed withobscenity. He suddenly grabbed his crotch. "Oh, my days! The thought of having her beautiful legswrapped around my waist has given me an erection."

The other man slapped him playfully on the shoulder. The two of them burst out laughing. They stayedin the minibus throughout the night, keeping an eye on the front door of the building where Chelsealived.

Chelsea got up early the next morning. She left home at nine-thirty since the book signing was to beheld at ten.

Her residence was a little far from Fresh Bookstore. She decided to take the subway there.

On the way to the subway station, she suddenly had an eerie feeling. She looked back only to replace aminibus behind her. It seemed to be following her. But she waved her fears aside since it was daytimeand many people were already going about their various businesses.

However, the vehicle followed her at every turn. Chelsea immediately became more suspicious.Something just didn't feel right. At the sight of a deserted road ahead, she quickened her pace.

She was only halfway through the deserted road when the minibus overtook her and came to ascreeching halt in front of her. Chelsea tried to beat a hasty retreat and scream for help. But a strongman suddenly jumped out of the minibus and covered her mouth with his big hand. He shoved her intothe bus in the blink of an eye.

The minibus sped away the moment its door was shut. She struggled for a second more beforepassing out. It turned out that the white handkerchief the man placed over her mouth was covered withdrugs.

Edmund met with Roy at the cafe next to Fresh Bookstore at the scheduled time.

Roy had a gentle and elegant demeanor. He had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on. One could tell fromhis actions and the way he spoke that he was highly intelligent.

Their conversation went on well. While Edmund went straight to the point, Roy was pleased with hisway of doing things. It seemed that a deal would be struck soon.

Roy put forward a few requirements in the end. "I'd like to make this clear in advance. My wife is stillsick, so I won't have the time to work as the scriptwriter for the adaptation of the book. You have to replacea capable scriptwriter. One more thing, I need to test whosoever you pick for the job. I hold this bookvery dear to my heart, so I don't want it to be poorly interpreted in the play due to the incompetence ofthe scriptwriter."
