Adam prepares for answers as Chelsea senses danger
At Society on The Young and the Restless, Adam talked to Chelsea about his upcoming trip to Nice. They discussed whether Colin Atkinson or maybe even Cane Ashby was connected to Aristotle Dumas. Adam wasn’t sure of their motives but thought he could figure things out after talking with Victor.
Chelsea was worried. No one had heard back from the people who went to Dumas’ party, and she feared for Adam’s safety. Adam kissed her, promised everything would be fine, and left to find answers.
Later, Holden Novak showed up and complimented Chelsea on her fashion work. But Chelsea had already seen him with Cane and didn’t trust him. She thought he had a hidden reason for talking to her.
