“You're right!” Edmund quickly answered, glad to hear that.
Roy then focused his gaze on Chelsea again and said, “Also, when | saw this girl today, | just knew who had done this. She couldn’t have done anything. These eyes of hers can’t Lie.” Roy smiled down kindly at her to make her feel more comfortable.
But Chelsea was in so much pain after what happened that she couldn’t return his smile. Roy’s words only succeeded in making her burst into tears.
In between sniffs, she said, “Thank you so much for trusting me.” After being slandered and dragged down in front of everyone, having someone that believed and supported her moved her very much. She was really grateful.

Chelsea quickly nodded vigorously in agreement with Edmund. She was a little surprised because she never expected Edmund to understand her and the need for her to prove her innocence.
She hated being accused of plagiarism, and although Roy believed her, she still wanted to provide proof. What she hadn’t expected, was for Edmund to speak out her exact thoughts.
“Well... Why don’t you tellhow you want to go about it?” Roy said after a while.
Edmund thought about it for a while and then Looked back at Roy. “I’m hoping you can choose another part for adapting, then announce to everyone that we were all good, but you want us to do one last trial.”
He then looked at Chelsea. “Your computer should be infected with a virus now. So, when we go back, you can use my computer to write. And then, as soon as you're done, I'll send it to Mr. Ellis. However, you'll write another version on your computer, okay?”
Since they hadn’t removed the virus from Chelsea’s Laptop, those who had stolen her work would definitely tamper with it again And if they did try to steal it, and send it to Roy, then it would be clear as day that they were the culprits from the beginning.
Understanding Edmund's plan, Chelsea nodded. However, she was stilt worried. So she said in a worried voice, “That means the script of The Crown | had in my computer has been stolen too, right?”
Edmund sighed and said, jon’t worry about it. If they dare steal it, | will let them pay dearly.”
Chelsea took a deep breath and nodded.

“No, no. Don’t worry about it.
To be honest, | only had an appointment with two companies. After reading it once, | was satisfied with the adaptation, and | didn’t want to look for another company. That was until you gavethe sdraft. | got a little bit confused after that. | didn’t want to make the wrong decision and be played for a fool, so | had to make you chere and meetface-to-face.”
Since Chelsea wasn’t refusing his offer, Roy then stood up and said to her, “Con, Let's go. I’ll take you to my writing room. Chelsea turned to look at Edmund as if asking for his approbation. When he nodded slightly, she smiled faintly and stood up.
As they walked to his writing room, Roy said, “My wife isn’t doing too well, so | took my computers and other things to the first floor. That way, | won't disturb her when | write.”
Hearing this, Edmund asked, “Isn’t Mrs. Ellis at htoday?”
“No, she has been visiting the hospital a lot recently. I'll go and spend twith her in the hospital after you’re done writing,” Roy said with a trace of sadness in his voice. The topic was a little serious and sad, so no one mentioned it again
There were three computers and various reference books in Roy's vast writing room.
