Chapter 254 Chelsea
Robin discerned some clues from Marissa’s expression.
Chelsea was not in a very good condition.
He hadn’t even had the chance to ask for more details.
A girl in a white pajama came down from upstairs.
“Mom, we had a guest so early?”
Robin looked up.
The girl who came down from upstairs had red curly hair and was holding a cigarette in her hand.
He understood why Marissa mentioned that Chelsea would sigh.
This girl was Chelsea.
His current condition was indeed not very good.
In Robin’s memory, Chelsea was gentle, well–behaved, and quiet.
However, the appearance in front of me was clearly that of a young tomboy.
Chelsea sat next to Mariss.
Just as he was about to fiddle with the lighter to light a cigarette, Robin directly snatched it away.
“Who are you, why did you take my lighter…” Chelsea suddenly stopped.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes hard and looked at Robin.
“Robin?” She stood up in shock, pointing at Robin and shouting. “You, you, you are Robin!”
Marissa sighed, “You still recognize Robin, look at what you’ve become now!”
Chelsea’s sleepiness disappeared in an instant.
She tucked the cigarette behind her ear and sat next to Robin.
Stared at Robin’s handsome face with hands propped on checks for quite a while.
“Robin, where have you been these past seven years?”
“Now he’s so tall and handsome, even better looking than those movie stars!”
“You bastard, you just up and left back then, causing me and mom to search for you for so many years…”
Chelsea chattered away, asking a lot of questions, the corners of her eyes shimmering with tears.
Robin ruffled her messy red hair, “How did I dye my hair like this? It looks terrible.”
“And this!” Robin removed the cigarette from Chelsea’s ear.
“You knew that Marissa and I hated the smell of cigarettes!”
“I had my hair redone today!”
“Also, you were not allowed to smoke anymore!”
“A girl from a good family smoking, what does that look like? Besides,
it’s bad for the skin and teeth!”
The smile on Chelsea’s face froze.
During those two years, Chelsea was often bullied on this street.
It was Robin who fought to the death, taking on more than a dozen thugs all by himself.
Every time, it ended up with a bloody head.
Gradually, no one dared to bully Chelsea anymore.
Chelsea followed Robin around like a little tail every day.
Whatever Robin said, she would obediently follow.
Seeing Robin speak like this, Marissa also echoed, “Chelsea, did you hear that? Robin is also quite repulsed by your style…”
“Alright, alright, stop talking and quickly make me a bowl of soup. I have to go out again in a bit.”
Marissa furrowed her brows, glancing at Robin, wanting to speak but hesitating
Seeing Chelsea’s impatient look, she could only shake her head and turn to walk towards the kitchen behind her.
Robin looked at Chelsea, “How did you talk to Marissa!”
“What were you doing? Do you know how ugly you made yourself look?!”
“Enough about me, Robin. What about you? What have you been doing all these years? Are you planning to leave again this time?”
Robin said, “Answer me, what have you been doing?”

Chapter 254 Chelsea
“I could tell, Marissa was very unhappy.”
“How did you tell me those years?”
“You said that when you grew up, you would definitely make a lot of money to give Marissa a good life.”
“Look at yourself now!”
Chelsea’s radiant smile slowly faded, casting a terrified glance at Robin: “Robin. I don’t want to, but…”
“Chelsea!”
At that time, a few young men dressed in strange costumes arrived at the front gate
Robin was sizing them up, these people were probably all hooligans from Londratown.
Chelsea suddenly panicked, “Mr. Burns, today… I have guests at my house today. I won’t be coming over…”
A bald man named Santos Burns walked into the store, coldly sizing up Robin.
“Chelsea, who was this?”
Chelsea quickly stepped in front of bald Santos, “Mr. Burns, he is my brother Robin, from whom I’ve been separated for seven years.”
Only then did Santos give Robin a smile.
“So you’re Robin, huh, Chelsea, let’s go…”
Marissa came up from behind: “Chelsea, you can’t go anywhere today!”
Santos’s face turned cold: “Chelsea, are you going or not?”
Chapter 254 Chelse
Chelsea glanced at Robin, then at the men standing at the door, and stood up, “Robin, I’ll come back and talk to you tonight.”
Robin stood up and said, “Let’s go, I’ll go with you.”
Chelsea was taken aback: “Robin, don’t, don’t go.”
Robin laughed. “It’s okay, we haven’t been back here for many years, and we also want to go out and see.”
Santos glanced at Robin, exchanged a look with a few accomplices: “Alright. let’s go together then.”
Chelsea quickly stopped him, “Robin, don’t go over there. Stay here and chat with Marissa in the shop. I’ll be back soon.”
Marissa also came over: “Robin, you just stay in the store…”
Robin glanced at Santos and his group, “I haven’t been back for many years, I want to go out for a walk. I’ll go with Chelsea and the others.”
After speaking, he patted Marissa on the shoulder and led Chelsea towards the door.
Santos and several men accompanying him exchanged a glance, then walked out of the sour soup diner toge
together.
Stepping out the door, Robin asked Chelsea in a low voice, “Tell me honestly, are these really your friends?”
Chelsea looked back in fear at Santos and his group not far behind her, hesitated for a moment, and said, “Robin, you should stay out of this.”
“They, they were all involved in the underworld on this street, Santos was the one who ran the gambling den and loan sharking on this street.”

“Robin, we couldn’t afford to mess with them.”
“Santos was telling everyone that the Rogelio family was his backup, no one on this street dared to mess with them.” Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“They were very bad.”
Robin glanced at the terrified Chelsea.
“Why did that Santos want to find you? Why did you want to mix with them?”
Chelsea said bitterly, “Robin, many of the shops on this street are under their control. But… a high protection fee is required.”
“Many stores were forced to leave the street because they couldn’t afford to pay their profection money.”
“Our family’s sour soup diner didn’t have much income to begin with…”
Robin understood, and with a pang of heartache, rubbed Chelsea’s head, “So, you just hung out with them?”
Chelsea nodded.
“Yes. Santos said that as long as I became his girlfriend, he could cover for Marissa’s sour soup diner,” she said.
Robin sighed, “You are really confused.”
However, he understood in his heart.
In such an environment, what else could Marissa and Chelsea do but submit to Santos?
“Bro, you should go back. I don’t want you to get involved with these

filthy crowds. They are not good people, they will ruin you.”
Robin gave a nonchalant smile, looking at Chelsea’s worried. expression.
“I came, how could I let you and Marissa be bullied by these trash again!”
