“Stop calling her that, Sonya! This is the height of it. You are grounded from now onwards. You must stay at home and reflect on yourself!” Edmund shouted, pointing at her seriously.

“No, there’s no need for that, Mr. Nelson. This is not that serious. Thank you, anyway.” Chelsea immediately refused. Her tone and the way she addressed him made it seem as if they were indeed strangers. This annoyed Edmund a little.
After rolling his eyes, he said, “You are injured. It's best to get medical attention so it doesn’t get infected. Why are you so stubborn?”
“It won't get infected, Mr. Nelson. I'll apply first-aid myself.” Chelsea didn’t budge. She wasn't so sure if ordinary first-aid would be enough for the scalding. However, she wanted to go to the hospital herself, not with Edmund.
Edmund's face darkened. Their gazes locked for a long time. This Little argument ended in a stalemate.
Aweighted silence fell on everyone as Chelsea and Edmund continued to stare at each other. The onlookers could feel the tension between them, but they didn’t dare to say anything.
Zuri could also feel the tension. However, her heart was leaping with joy at this moment. She Loved to see the pained expression on Edmund's face now that Chelsea refused to go to the hospital with him.

The good relationship between Chelsea and Eugene stunned Sonya. She was so jealous at this moment. Who the hell was Chelsea? Why was Eugene so kind to her? Did she sell her body to him for favors? Asides from being famous for his scriptwriting talent, Eugene was always a topic of discussion in the entertainment industry
because of his arrogance. Many people reached out to him to help them teach new scriptwriters. However, he always turned them down.
Seeing that Chelsea addressed Eugene as her teacher, Sonya wondered why Eugene decided to mentor someone now. She also wondered when Chelsea became a scriptwriter.
Chelsea held Eugene in high esteem. She could never go against him even if it wasn’t convenient for her. As a result, she bowed and left with Edmund on her heels.
“Edmund! “
Sonya burst into tears when she saw that her brother was behaving Like a bodyguard for her enemy. Like the spoiled brat that she was, she had expected him to punish Chelsea and force her to apologize. But he did the exact opposite. Not only that, he grounded her indefinitely.
