Chapter: 27 She was about to do it when Edmund shot her a searing glare. She froze and bit her lower lip guiltily. A few seconds later, she said stubbornly, “Over my dead body will | apologize to this bitch!”
“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.
This declaration hit Sonya like a bolt out of the blue. She held her forehead and staggered backward as if she was about to faint.
Ignoring his sister's bad acting, Edmund turned to Chelsea, who had been silent since he came, and said, “Let me take you to the hospital.”
“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.

“Teacher, | actually came here to ask you some questions about... Chelsea tried to change the topic
As a top scriptwriter in the film industry, Eugene was always busy Getting an opportunity to speak to him was difficult, so Chelsea didn’t want to leave here without doing what she came for.
“Don't worry about that, Chelsea. You can ask me the questions after you get your wound treated. I’m willing to help you at any time,” Eugene said assuredly.
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.
