"Chelsea, today your father has selected several candidates who are suitable to become your personal driver and bodyguard. He intentionally invited them here so you can choose one yourself," Elena said while holding her daughter-in-law's hand-down the stairs to the main floor.
"Why are you being excessive, Mom? Surely Dad spent enough time to do all this."
Chelsea sighed.
"I'm bothering him so much."
"It's not at all. Especially since next week you two can move to the house owned by Jonas."
"Move house?" Chelsea blinked confused, she had never heard about the matter of moving houses before.
"Yes. Didn't Jonas tell you about it?"
Chelsea shook her head, they stopped after stepping on the last stair.
"Ah. That child, basically because you two are officially married, you have to live separately from us. Although I really like and want you to stay here, but I'm sure Jonas can take care of you well. We can visit each other, Chelsea."
"It's okay."
She smiled, although when Elena walked ahead of her, Chelsea's expression turned cold. She wanted to stay in the Li Family house so she could monitor many things, but Jonas' wishes had been giving her a headache.
"Come on, Chelsea. They've been waiting outside."
"Okay, Mom."
She smiled warmly again when following Elena out of the house.
About four adult men in their early thirties lined up in the yard, only they were chosen from dozens of people after Jeremy Li posted a job vacancy on a job search application.
Chelsea was surprised when she recognized one of the four men there, she stole a glance while blinking.
Who would have thought that 'that man' kept his promise to protect Chelsea after entering the Li Family?
"You can choose one of these four candidates, Chelsea. Your father has told me that they have a good work history from their former employers, they're skilled fighters and very loyal, suitable for protecting you when you're far from Jonas' reach."
"Eum. I understand, Mom."
"Make sure to choose the most outstanding one."
"Of course."
Chelsea asked some simple questions to them, but since the beginning she had determined to choose 'that man' even if his answers might be bad or beyond her expectations.
"Have you decided?"
Chelsea nodded, she pointed to a man wearing a black hat who had introduced himself as Daniel Jiang.
"I want Uncle Jiang to be my driver and bodyguard, Mom. Is that okay?"
"Of course, it's okay. He can be your bodyguard and driver, he will live in the pavilion adjacent to Jonas' house."
"Okay, I agree."
Isn't this a good start? Chelsea's adoptive parents successfully sneaked Daniel Jiang to help their daughter 'take care' of the Li Family.
Chelsea won't be alone, or before Jonas finds out something about her hidden past for twelve years.

"I know you've manipulated your work history."
Chelsea sneered while folding her arms over her chest, she sat in the passenger seat, they were on their way to the Emerald Group building to deliver Jonas' lunch that Chelsea deliberately cooked herself.
"What's wrong? You're not satisfied?"
"Cih. You've never worked anywhere except for my adoptive parents."
Daniel remained calm although Chelsea Moon became his main employer now.
"Yeah, what can I do? They flew me here. If you're not satisfied, just tell them."
"Little uncle, you're really troublesome."
Daniel chuckled softly, he looked at Chelsea's face reflection through the rearview mirror above his head.
"However, aren't you being very attentive to that adopted son of Jeremy Li? You even cooked lunch for him. Have you fallen in love?"
"Falling in love with who?" She started to get annoyed.
"I just think that Jonas Li will definitely become a strong shield for you one day-when he finds out everything. I have to take advantage of him well, I don't intend to fall in love with anyone!" She emphasized the last sentence so Daniel would stop provoking her.
"It's not intentional, but a feeling can arise at any time, especially since you two are a married couple who will definitely interact every day. What if-"
"If Uncle Jiang keeps making noise, I'll call Dad to take you back!"
Daniel closed his mouth, he smiled slyly seeing the annoyance on Chelsea's face. Although the woman called him 'uncle', their relationship was more like siblings.

Daniel remained waiting in the car, while Chelsea walked elegantly into the Emerald Group lobby and approached the receptionist just to ask about the location of Jonas Li's room.
"Thank you."
She walked away towards the CEO's special elevator according to the receptionist's directions, they had recognized the woman as the wife of Emerald Group's successor.
However, when the elevator door was about to close tightly, a hand suddenly stretched in to hold the door-which eventually reopened automatically.
Jordan Li stood there, he quickly got in and stood beside Chelsea.
"I didn't know that the CEO's special elevator could be used freely by anyone," the woman sneered, she felt entitled to use it because she was Jonas Li's wife.
"Am I wrong? I was just surprised when I saw you, so I rushed here."
He defended himself, then glanced at the paper bag in Chelsea's hand.
"Are you trying to meet Jonas?"
"Yeah. Who else but him?"
Jordan snorted, he was annoyed by her answer.
"Why are you defending him? Why did you refuse to marry me? I should be your husband now."
"Jonas Li is attractive to pursue."
Chelsea replied calmly and flatly, she didn't care if it made the man even more furious.
Suddenly Jordan pulled Chelsea's arm, causing the woman to step back and bump into the elevator wall behind her, Jordan locked Chelsea's movement using both hands that stuck to the right and left sides of her head.
"Why? Am I not more handsome than him, huh?"
It was a simple answer, but very able to provoke Jordan Li.
The way he looked at Chelsea was like a crocodile watching its prey, intimidating.
"I don't know."
She shrugged.
"He doesn't even love you, he won't ever love you because he's still thinking about his ex-girlfriend. Can't you see that, huh?"
Chelsea was reluctant to answer, she glanced at the elevator button that had shown a sign that she had arrived on the floor where Jonas' room was located.
The automatic door opened, while their position remained the same.
"Brother-in-law, please look behind you."
Jordan turned around, he clicked his tongue realizing their interaction time was too short.
He was forced to let Chelsea walk past him, although Jordan followed her out, he didn't intend to follow the woman.
Sometimes Chelsea was indeed that cold and arrogant, but those two things were actually additional points that further increased Jordan Li's desire to possess her, the desire to take a woman who was supposed to marry Jordan.
"I want to see how long you can last beside Jonas, whether you can take care of that failed move-on man, Chelsea. Later, when you're tired, I'll be ready to accommodate you with all my might. I won't go anywhere."
Who would have thought that Chelsea Moon's presence in the Li Family-apart from taking care of her husband, she also had to witness her brother-in-law's wild obsession like Jordan Li.
