Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Capítulo 41

Chapter: 41

“Drop it, Diane. | know exactly what I’m saying. I’m the one investing in this play. So when | say that the script is good, don’t counter my words!” Edmund interrupted her seriously.

He didn’t want to argue with her anymore. As far as he was concerned, the script was perfect and there was no need to tweak it at all.

Diane was taken aback by his words. She could sense the irritation in his voice. He had indirectly accused her of pointing out a problem when there was none. Her eyes blazed with fury as she looked at him.

Of course she knew that he had the final say. She had never interfered with his work in the past. This situation was only different because Chelsea was involved. She had interfered because she thought Edmund would be displeased with the similarity just like she was.

“Okay then.” Although Diane badly wanted to throw a fit, she could only suppress her anger. She feared that Edmund would break up with her if she nagged him any further. She had come a long way with him. She had to take good care of it.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Continuing the argument would make it obvious that she was poking holes in the script because it was written by Chelsea. She had put on a sweet and free-minded attitude just to make sure Edmund continued to love her. She knew that he would stop loving her if she showed him her true colors.

Diane bit her lower lip and sneered in her heart. Since her argument with Edmund had reached a dead end, she decided to ask someone else to raise issues concerning the script Later on.

The director played a pivotal role in production too, didn’t he? The project would not go on if he wasn’t satisfied with the script. Chelsea was answerable to him, so he could be of help.

Diane concocted a plan. She had made a lot of connections while she was still in the entertainment industry. It would be easy for her to crush a new scriptwriter like Chelsea with the help of her connections.

More so, she still had Sonya on her side. She would make sure Sonya got a role in this new play. Diane planned to instigate Sonya to poke holes in the script during production. Chelsea would surely have a hard time.

Edmund didn’t say a word to Diane for the rest of the ride. He was annoyed with her. Even after she got off the car and kissed him goodbye, he didn’t say anything. He just drove off. Diane stared at the car, gritted her teeth, and walked into her home.

As Edmund drove at a high speed, he was lost in thought. What annoyed him wasn’t Diane’s interference in his business, but everything he saw after reading her mind.

It was obvious that Diane became insecure after she found out that Chelsea had returned and was now working as a scriptwriter. After all, she wouldn’t have accompanied him if she didn’t know.

For the longest time, Diane had been against Chelsea. But she pretended to be an unproblematic woman in front of him. Her two-faced nature angered him to the core. Edmund wondered why she became such a despicable person. She used to be honest and calm, not pretentious and troublesome.

When he returned to his office, he stared at the paper that Luka had given him. It wasn’t until thirty minutes later that he finally mustered the courage to call Chelsea.

“Hello, who’s on the Line?” A female voice wafted into his ear once the line connected. Did she just ask that question? How could she? Did this mean she deleted his number? Could it be that she forgot it? Or was she just pretending?

Anger simmered in Edmund's heart. With a sharp tone, he said, “Chelsea, did the sky fall this morning? Don’t you take your work seriously? How dare you miss such an important meeting?”

There was a short silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Chelsea scoffed and replied, “No, Mr. Nelson. The sky didn’t fall. | just had a car accident.”

“What ?”

“| didn’t stay away intentionally. I'm sorry for not showing up. If you aren’t satisfied with my work, you can ask Mr. Pierce to replace me with someone else.”

Chelsea hung up the phone immediately, sparing him no chance to speak. Edmund stared at his phone with his mouth agape. The only thing he picked from the conversation was that Chelsea had a car accident.
