Chapter 216

After Edmund left in a huff, Chelsea lost her appetite.

Then she realized she was torturing herself because of an insignificant person.

In order to have the stamina to handle tomorrow's interview, she needed to have a good night's restand a healthy meal tonight.

She returned to her seat at the table and resumed her meal.

The hotel's gourmet fare was a highlight of their stay. Chelsea's stomach was so full that it had begunto protrude.

Additionally, her negative feelings were digested. After some consideration, she reached for her phoneand texted Edmund. "Mr. Nelson, would you want to eat something?"

Tomorrow, they were scheduled to talk with Roy face-to-face. She was scared that if he became sickfrom stomach pain, she wouldn't be able to manage it on her own.

Edmund swiftly responded, "Why are you so concerned about me?"

Chelsea exhaled deeply and responded, "So that tomorrow's work goes off without a hitch."

Chelsea's door was promptly knocked on by Edmund after she had sent the message. She opened thedoor and asked him inside.

Edmund gazed at the table's empty plates. He could not resist inquiring, "Did all these go into yourstomach?"

"Yes," Chelsea said honestly.

Edmund clenched his teeth and muttered, "You are a fantastic eater!"

Just now, he was so upset that he refused to eat and then left. How could she eat with such joy?

In all honesty, he had to concede that he was completely powerless over Chelsea at this point.

Chelsea was rendered speechless.

Not any woman would like to be told that way. She was no exception.

It explained why he was married and afterward divorced. He earned it immensely.

"Have fun." This was the last time Chelsea wanted to speak with him. She retreated to her bedroom.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Edmund departed after supper, as it was no longer early.

They left for Roy's house early the next morning. His residence was lavish, and it was situated in theprominent area of Norrmalm.

For Chelsea, it was her first visit to such a place. With a sense of wonder in her eyes, she took a

glance around. She suddenly heard Edmund question, "Do you desire such a villa?"

Without hesitating, Chelsea said, "No, I don't."

She was only curious and wanted to peek. Why would she want it?

Edmund gave her a thoughtful look and added, "Do you not have a boyfriend? Just tell him what youwant, and he'll get it for you."

Chelsea's anger was so great that she clenched her teeth. Edmund was laughing at Luka's talent formaking money.

Edmund belonged to the affluent Nelson Group. He could have bought such a property easily, but Lukalacked what appeared to be the financial wherewithal to do so.

She couldn't place her finger on what gave Edmund his arrogance. Did money make the world goround?

She deliberated for a bit, then said, "Money may not purchase everything."

Even though Chelsea had anticipated an unfavorable response from Edmund, he surprised her bysaying, "Indeed."

Chelsea gazed at him but remained silent.

The two of them ran into Diane and Gerry as they followed Roy's assistant through the entrance hall.

Diane and Gerry exhibited complacency. It seemed they had had a good conversation with Roy.

Diane remarked to Edmund with a broad grin on her face, "Mr. Nelson, wish you good luck."

Edmund left with Chelsea while ignoring her.

Diane's teeth were gnashed and she no longer had a grin on her face. Gerry gave her reassurance,"They will be crying later. What's the point of stooping to their level?"

Diane grinned triumphantly once again as she imagined what Edmund and Chelsea would be facing.

Edmund was wealthy and Chelsea was gifted, but was this advantageous? They weren't as schemingas Diane. How could they have an upper hand?
