Edmund replied slowly, “Then I’ll build one for all the projects the Nelson Group invested in so you don’t have to be away all the time.”
Chelsea was momentarily speechless. “Is he for real? Build a movie center in Vertoak? He is really made of money, isn’t he?”

“When did you go back to bed last night?” Chelsea asked.
“Around 2 a.m.” Edmund called an emergency meeting with the higher-ups of the Nelson Group to discuss his proposal. At first, they were strongly against the idea of building a movie center in Vertoak. However, Edmund convinced them eventually.

Chelsea pinched the bridge of her nose. “I sometimes wonder what goes on in that head of yours.”

Zuri giggled.

Such a brilliant move. Kills two birds with one stone. Not only did he end the rumor, but also told the world that he is your boyfriend now.
Sunny also said that Edmund’s post is a text-book PR move.“ Zuri was beyond happy because Edmund’s clarification fouled up Tara’s plan.
Chelsea also thought that Edmund’s move was clever.
