Chapter 109 Unbelievable Words
Chelsea found it hard to believe what Fay just said. In fact, she felt she had heard wrong. She uttered, "Wait a minute. Did you just say that Edmund is sending his sister away because he doesn't want her to keep causing trouble for me?"
"Yes, you heard me right," Fay responded, nodding hard.
Chelsea let out a soft chuckle. "You are joking, right? Edmund would never do anything for my good. He hates me. Besides, he has no reason to care about my well-being."
Why would he do such a thing now that they were divorced?
As far as Chelsea was concerned, Edmund would always put Diane and his family first over her. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
It was exactly what he did while they were married. Never did he stand up for her when she was oppressed by his mistress and family. He either took their side, or turned a blind eye and stayed on the sidelines.
A perfect instance of such flashed through Chelsea's mind at this moment. It happened during a weekend party thrown by the Nelson family.
She had worn a pair of heels, so she walked cautiously everywhere she went that day.
Sonya suddenly put out her leg, causing Chelsea to trip and fall. She sprained her ankle as a result.
Chelsea had scolded Sonya angrily and the latter just sneered at her. But when Sonya saw Edmund walking over, she began to cry crocodile tears.
She ran to him, held his arm, and complained, "Brother, Chelsea just shouted at me. I didn't do anything to her, but she's blaming me because she fell and sprained her ankle."
Without hearing Chelsea's side of the story, Edmund gave her a cold look and said, "Don't wear heels since you are not classy enough to walk in them!"
Not only did he insult her, but he also insinuated that she had made a fool of herself.
Tears had welled up in Chelsea's eyes as her heart ached badly. She had to swallow hard and clench her fists to prevent the tears from falling.
They had just gotten married at that time. It was the first time she was attending any party held by his family.
The amused gazes of his relatives and friends were on them at that time. She wished the ground would open up and swallow her.
To make sure such an incident didn't repeat itself, Chelsea wore heels and practiced walking with them every day at home. She suffered muscle spasms and her ankles hurt regularly.
But her hard work paid off. She was soon able to work on heels no matter how high.
Judging by what happened in the past, Chelsea concluded that Fay was just fibbing.
She waved her hand and changed the topic. "I'm sorry for interrupting your work again. I am fine now, so you should get back to work."
Fay was downcast because her plan had failed. Frowning slightly, she waved Chelsea goodbye and went back to work.

Meanwhile, Alena was certified fine by the doctor after a thorough examination. She had only fainted because of fury.
With his arms folded over his broad chest, Edmund coldly looked at his mother and sister.
Fay had called to brief him about what happened, so he was even more furious with them.
How dare they call to scold Chelsea?
Worse still, they attempted to slap her!
They crossed the line this time.
"Mom, I have thought hard and decided that Sonya shouldn't be the only one to go abroad. You must go with her." Edmund only said this from a place of anger. He would never send Alena away.
She had already gone through a lot because of Jaime's infidelity. Sending her to him would be like taking her to the slaughterhouse to get emotionally chopped up again.
But threatening her was the only thing Edmund could do now because she went too far this time.
Unsurprisingly, Alena blew a short fuse after hearing those words. "What do you mean? I just woke up, but you want to drive me away?"
Edmund frowned and said, "Mom, I'm just trying to say that you'd better stay out of my business from now on."
