Mia, who was still shocked and confused, asked curiously, "Did the lawsuit letter come directly from Brayan? How did Chelsea get to know him, let alone afford his service?"

Purple immediately transferred all her aggression to her assistant. "Are you dumb? Do you really not know the answer to that question? It's possible that she got to know Brayan through her ex-husband since he's so rich!"

Oblivious to the fact that her boss was venting her anger on her, Mia still asked in surprise, "But they are divorced now. Why would her ex-husband help her?"

"Aargh! Since you have so many questions, why don't you go and ask her yourself? Don't disturb me!" Purple shouted. It was at this moment Mia realized that she was now the punching bag instead of Chelsea. Thus, she closed her mouth.

Purple suddenly pointed at the door and drove her away impatiently. "I want to be left alone. Leave now!"

She then stormed off into the study and slammed the door behind her.

Mia bit her lower lip out of frustration. She grabbed her bag and left immediately.

Adult life wasn't easy. Working made it harder than it already was. Mia was unlucky to have a boss like Purple. However, she had no choice but to continue working in order to put food on the table.

————


Chelsea had no idea that Brayan sent a lawsuit letter to the internet celebrity for her sake. She was still on Twitter when the video suddenly disappeared and the internet celebrity made a public apology to her. This came as a surprise to her.

Bloggers were usually stubborn. They would never admit their mistakes or even apologize just for the sake of money. In the past, bloggers refused to backtrack their words or actions irrespective of if what they said was true or not.

There had been many instances when their accounts were taken down on different social media platforms. But they always registered new accounts and started all over.

Fay came into the apartment all of a sudden. Chelsea looked at her in surprise and said, "Hey, why are you back so early? I haven't prepared dinner yet. Had I known you would come back this early, I would have started cooking earlier than usual."

Since she started to live in this apartment, Chelsea took it upon herself to make dinner for Fay whenever the latter wasn't going out for business meetings with Edmund.

Fay usually came back late in the evenings even on the days she didn't go out with her boss. She always had her hands full at work, so she worked overtime.

But today, she came home even before it was the normal closing hour of the company. This was strange.

Fay said with a smile, "I came home early because Mr. Nelson asked me to get off work and go home to keep you company."

Chelsea was speechless.

Why did Edmund do that?

Why did he think that she needed someone to keep her company? Did he think she was weak-minded?

Chelsea shook her head disappointedly. She hated that Edmund clearly underestimated her now. After all, she had endured the pain of a toxic marriage and a messy divorce. Getting bullied online was nothing compared to what she suffered in the past.

Fay added, "Thank goodness I didn't have much work to do today. I came back after I finished it. Anyway, you don't have to cook tonight. I have already ordered takeout."

This arrangement was fine by Chelsea. At least, it saved her the stress of sweating in the kitchen.
