With a faint smile, Chelsea added, “By the way, you seem to have forgotten that I’m working on ‘The Crown’ and have just taken over the adaption of Mr. Ellis’s new book. Money is not a problem for me.”
Her proud tone fanned Diane’s anger She gnashed her teeth and said, “Fine! Let's meet there at ten o’clock tomorrow. Don't even dare keepwaiting!”
Before she could hang up, Chelsea intoned seriously, “You'd better watch your tone, Diane. If you speak toLike this tomorrow, I’LL be sure to tell Mr. Ellis that your apology was insincere. The ball is in your court.”
“Why does Diane want to see you?” Edmund asked with a frown as soon as Chelsea hung up the phone. Once he got an explanation, his frown was replaced with a serious expression. “That’s good. She indeed owes you an apology.”

The kidnapping incident made Edmund more concerned about Chelsea’s safety. Diane wasn’t to be trusted in his opinion Squinting her eyes at him, Chelsea asked in disbelief, “All the shop attendants can fight?”
She was confused as to why he was so confident that they could protect her. Only skilled fighters could do that.
“What do you think?” Edmund queried with an ambiguous glint in his eyes.
Chelsea took a deep breath and asked cautiously, “Don’t take this the wrong way. But are you doing business legally?”
She had watched many movies of people using normal businesses as a cover-up for their gang syndicate. She had a sneaky suspicion that Edmund and Yusuf were doing the same.
Edmund threw his head back and laughed. “Did you really just askthat? If I’m not doing a legal trade, do you think | will be ranked as one of the top ten most successful businessmen in Vertoak?”
This made sense, so Chelsea breathed a sigh of relief.
“Every industry has its ugly side. Things can get really dangerous, so we did this for our safety.”
“So are you saying that Anne is also good at fighting?” Chelsea inquired curiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnne was the chief barista at Times Coffee. She had taught Chelsea how to make coffee.
Edmund nodded and replied, “She’s not only a skilled fighter, but also a boxing champion.”
“A boxing champion?” Chelsea couldn't believe her ears. Never in her wildest dreams could she have imagined that a beautiful young woman like Anne was actually a skillful fighter. She thought she was just a barista.
Edmund added, “Actually, | was thinking that you could take sself-defense lessons from her if you have spare ton your hands. It will give you an edge over your enemies.”
This advice sounded like a good idea. Just when Chelsea was about to agree, he looked at her from head to toe and said, “You know what? Learning self-defense won't be enough. | need to hire a bodyguard for you, considering how your body is
Chelsea’s face changed. She looked at her body carefully. “What's wrong with my body?” She knew she was on the slim side. But that didn’t mean she couldn't learn self-defense.
“Oh, no! There’s nothing wrong with your body. You actually have a breathtaking figure!” Edmund said with a flattering tone.
