Chapter 156

Luka quickly replied to Keith's question.

He handed over the script he had brought to Keith. He said, "Mr. Nelson is getting married. He musthave a lot on his plate right now, so it's understandable if he happens to be in a foul mood."

Luka deliberately mentioned the upcoming marriage between Edmund and Diane to irritate Edmund.

Smiling, Keith said, "I see. Mr. Nelson, do remember to send me an invitation to the wedding."

A surge of anger went through Edmund. Glancing coldly at Luka, he replied, "Mr. Pierce, I heard youconfessed your love for Chelsea. How can that be considering the age gap between both of you?"

"Compared to someone who still obsesses with his ex-wife, all I did was sincerely express my feelings,"Luka fired back, pointing out Edmund's weakness.

Edmund could barely control his rage.

He hated himself for caring so much for Chelsea.

From their words, Keith had analyzed the reason for the bad blood between both men. It seemed like itwas because of a woman.

It was a femme fatale.

Keith had to bring up the content of the script of The Crown to change the topic.

"I'm a fan of the scriptwriter. I've come across some of her work before and her writing is phenomenal,"Keith said.

Keith praising Chelsea lifted Edmund's spirits.

But after a second thought, he gave Keith a meaningful look. Could it be there was another man whohad a crush on Chelsea?

Staring back at Edmund, Keith said to Luka, "Since it's your first work as a director and Mr. Nelson isinvesting in it, of course I'll join in.

However, I want to recommend someone for the position of supporting actress."

Curiosity written all over his face, Luka asked, "Who do you have in mind?"

"Vickie Gray," Keith answered.

Luka frowned. After a thoughtful pause, he finally said, "I haven't heard of her."

Keith replied with a smile, "She really isn't a well-known actress, but she has the potential to becomeone of the best. I don't mean to let her go through the backdoor. She'll audition just like everybody else,and if she doesn't pass, that's it."

Luka nodded, "Okay."

Looking thoughtfully at Edmund, he said, "I didn't expect the supporting role to attract such attention.Your fiancée just called me and said she wanted to audition."

Seeing the scowl on Edmund's face, he continued, "Mr. Nelson, isn't Diane going to retire and becomeMrs. Nelson fully? Now she is going to work again. What are you going to do?"

"Who told you Diane is my fiancée?" Edmund inquired coldly.

Keith, on the other hand, just sat there watching them calmly as he took a sip of his coffee.

Luka shrugged and said, "Isn't it a fact that everyone in Vertoak is aware of?"

Edmund snorted, "Everyone in Vertoak is aware of it, but that doesn't mean I admit it."

After saying that, he stood up and said goodbye to Keith, "Since we have reached an agreement, youcan sign the contract with Mr. Pierce. I'm leaving now."

Without a backward glance, he left with Fay.
