Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chelsea noticed Alena's anger, but she turned a blind eye to it.

She walked over to the living room. Afterward, she sat down on the sofa opposite them with her legs crossed. She then asked indifferently, "How may I help you?"

Jaime responded in a kind tone, "I know that what Sonya did was out of line, so I apologize on her behalf."

Chelsea stared at him without saying anything, waiting for him to continue.

Jaime continued, "Remember that Sonya was once your sister-in-law. I was wondering if you can let her off the hook. Give her a chance to correct her errors."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Chelsea.

There was a hint of warning and pressure in Jaime's eyes although he spoke so reasonably.

Chelsea looked at the couple and then burst into laughter.

Their silly acting wasn't going to fool her. If they were a little more sincere, she would have considered withdrawing the lawsuit. But these two were despicable. They planned to force her into it if she didn't fall for their tricks.

They were no different from Diane and her parents.

It would have been a perfect match if the two families were merged by marriage. They deserved each other.

With her arms folded, Chelsea asked Jaime indifferently, "Did Sonya spare a second to think of our relationship before she did those things to me?"

Jaime was taken aback.

"There's no need to bring up the past. It won't help matters at all. You seem to have forgotten that Sonya never treated me as her sister-in-law. You also didn't take me as your daughter-in-law. So, drop the act!" Chelsea added seriously.

Jaime's face flushed with embarrassment. The Chelsea he used to know was an introverted and dull young woman. Who was this woman in front of him? When did she become so eloquent?

Pointing at Chelsea, Alena yelled angrily, "Don't be so arrogant because we came here to talk things out with you! If you don't withdraw the lawsuit, we will teach you a lesson!"

"Is that so? What's stopping you? Go ahead!" Chelsea fired back. With a chuckle, she added, "You don't have the world in your palms, ma'am."

"Hey!" Alena's body trembled uncontrollably.

Jaime held her hand, preventing her from pouncing on Chelsea. He looked at the calm woman in front of him and said in a serious tone, "We aren't joking with you. I trust you know that we are more powerful than you in this city. You don't stand a chance against us."

"I'm not joking either!" Chelsea fired back again.

"You bitch!" Alena got rid of her husband's grip and sprang up to her feet.

She already knew that Chelsea was exceptionally confident now. That was why she tried to talk Jaime out of it when he suggested that they come over to talk things out with Chelsea. Left to her, she would have hired someone to deal with Chelsea.

Before Alena could do anything to her, there was a knock on the door.

"Open up, Chelsea!" Edmund hurriedly said, knocking hard.

"Don't even dare!" Alena warned Chelsea before the latter could respond.

She didn't want her son in here. In her opinion, something was wrong with Edmund. He had confessed that he was in love with Chelsea. It was obvious he would take her side, not minding his family's stand.

There was a high probability that he would get short with his parents if he was allowed in here. Alena knew that Chelsea would enjoy the scene. And this was the last thing she wanted to happen.

Chelsea elegantly stood up and looked at Alena dead in the eye. "This is my home, so you don't call the shots here!"

Alena's fury squeezed the air in her lungs. She had difficulty breathing.

Contrary to what it seemed, Chelsea didn't intend to open the door for Edmund.

This was her fight. She didn't want his protection, nor did she want to owe him a favor again.

She said calmly, "Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, you must have heard of the man called Roy Ellis, right?"

"So what?" Jaime and Alena knew Roy. They heard that Philip went to see him for Diane's sake.

Chelsea threatened. "Well, I'm his goddaughter now. If you force me to withdraw the lawsuit, I'll tell him!"

Normally, she wasn't someone who would use her power over someone else. But she had to do so now that these two stepped out of line.

They were really getting on her nerves.
