Edmund's complexion was dark.

He was unable to contact Chelsea. Fortunately, he was able to locate her hotel and room.

After putting down his baggage, he immediately began looking for her. He had repeatedly knocked on the door to her room, but no one responded.

Therefore, he chose to wait outside the hotel. He didn't foresee her return so late.

She was a young and attractive woman. She dated a man she had only met twice and returned home in the middle of the night. He just felt anxious.

Roy spotted Edmund in the automobile as well.

"Mr. Nelson, what a coincidence!" he greeted casually.

Roy had a poor impression of the entire Nelson family.

However, he had a project that required him to collaborate with Edmund, so he greeted him with kindness.

Roy would have never worked with Edmund if he had known that Edmund's family treated Chelsea poorly.

"Bullshit! Why would you ask her to return so late, Mr. Ellis?" Edmund said in annoyance.

Chelsea frowned fiercely at Edmund as she stood there. Did he realize it was rude to say that to Roy?

Roy giggled and said, "Mr. Nelson, you're overthinking. I just took Chelsea out to supper and then drove her around the city so she could become acquainted with it. However, Mr. Nelson, I understand you have no right to interrogate me, correct?"

Edmund was cornered by Roy's statements and became rather enraged.

He gazed at Chelsea directly and said, "We need to speak."

Afterward, he attempted to drag Chelsea away by taking her arm.

Chelsea struggled. "What is your problem, Edmund? Release me..."

Seeing that Edmund was being so impolite, Roy stepped up to them indignantly and interrupted Edmund with a deep voice. "Let her go!"

Edmund gripped Chelsea's wrist hard and stared at Roy coldheartedly.

The tension between them was palpable.

Chelsea did not want the two powerful men, Edmund and Roy, to argue at the hotel's entrance. It would be dreadful if someone witnessed it.

She glanced at Edmund and said, "We may speak, but you must first release my hand."

Edmund pulled back his hand eventually.

Chelsea said to Roy, "Don't fret over me, Uncle Roy. See you tomorrow!"

Uncle?

When Edmund heard Chelsea refer to Roy in this manner, he became furious.

"You are separated; what do you wish to discuss with him?" Roy stared at Edmund and said, "Look at him. I can't allow you to speak with him! I don't have faith in him."

Edmund responded harshly with a scoff, "So, Mr. Ellis, you assume I trust you?"

The moment he thought that Chelsea had spent a considerable amount of time with Roy and had even referred to him as uncle, he forgot what Yusuf had said previously.

Roy's face became crimson with rage.

Chelsea rushed to console him, pleading, "Uncle Roy, please do not become upset. It is too late. You may return first, and I will contact you if there is an issue. He is in your territory. He lacks the courage to harm me."

Chelsea only desired to resolve the conflict.

Roy stared at Edmund, got in his car, and drove away after receiving her affirmation.

Immediately after the automobile was no longer visible, Edmund walked to Chelsea and pulled her to the hotel's garden.

He attempted to regain composure. "Are you stupid, Chelsea? Roy wants to accept you as his goddaughter, and you consented? He even let you play outside until eleven o'clock at night. How audacious is that?"

Chelsea was unable to explain her unexplainable faith in Roy.

She gently shook her aching wrist and said, "Is it associated with you, Mr. Nelson?"

Edmund was ready to speak, but Chelsea continued with mockery, "Edmund, you came here all the way just to reprimand me and argue with me?"

Edmund could no longer contain his wrath after hearing that.
