Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart -
Chapter 218
Chapter 218
No wonder they had happily wished them good luck. They were already sure of their victory all the wayhere from Vertoak.
Were they proud of winning in such a dirty and unworthy way?
Edmund clenched his fists and tried not to think of Diane and Gerry. If not, his anger towards themwould make him do something crazy. So, he looked at Roy and said, "You should have eliminated us ifyou suspected us cheating. Why did you make us come all the way here?"
"After our meeting last time, I immediately saw that you were a respectable man. I couldn't believe thatyou would pirate someone's work without any shame. Instead of doing something so shameful, you'drather pay the scriptwriter to work for you, even if you have to pay more than what he is worth. Unlessof course, I was wrong." Roy tilted his head and looked back at Edmund in amusement.
"You're right!" Edmund quickly answered, glad to hear that.
Roy then focused his gaze on Chelsea again and said, "Also, when I saw this girl today, I just knewwho had done this. She couldn't have done anything. These eyes of hers can't lie." Roy smiled downkindly at her to make her feel more comfortable.
But Chelsea was in so much pain after what happened that she couldn't return his smile. Roy's wordsonly succeeded in making her burst into tears.
In between sniffs, she said, "Thank you so much for trusting me."
After being slandered and dragged down in front of everyone, having someone that believed and
supported her moved her very much. She was really grateful.
When Chelsea had calmed down, Edmund said, "Mr. Ellis, I'm grateful that you believe her. Buthonestly, it'll be great if you let her prove her innocence and get rid of this shame."
Chelsea quickly nodded vigorously in agreement with Edmund.
She was a little surprised because she never expected Edmund to understand her and the need for herto prove her innocence.
She hated being accused of plagiarism, and although Roy believed her, she still wanted to provideproof. What she hadn't expected, was for Edmund to speak out her exact thoughts.
"Well... Why don't you tell me how you want to go about it?" Roy said after a while.
Edmund thought about it for a while and then looked back at Roy. "I'm hoping you can choose anotherpart for adapting, then announce to everyone that we were all good, but you want us to do one lasttrial."
He then looked at Chelsea. "Your computer should be infected with a virus now. So, when we go back,you can use my computer to write. And then, as soon as you're done, I'll send it to Mr. Ellis. However,you'll write another version on your computer, okay?"
Since they hadn't removed the virus from Chelsea's laptop, those who had stolen her work woulddefinitely tamper with it again.
And if they did try to steal it, and send it to Roy, then it would be clear as day that they were the culprits
from the beginning.
Understanding Edmund's plan, Chelsea nodded. However, she was still worried. So she said in aworried voice, "That means the script of The Crown I had in my computer has been stolen too, right?"
Edmund sighed and said, "Don't worry about it. If they dare steal it, I will let them pay dearly."
Chelsea took a deep breath and nodded.
Suddenly, Roy said, "I have a better idea. Why don't you use my computer this time? It's safer, don'tyou think?"
Surprised by this suggestion, Chelsea asked nervously, "But won't I be in your way?"
"No, no. Don't worry about it.
To be honest, I only had an appointment with two companies. After reading it once, I was satisfied withthe adaptation, and I didn't want to look for another company. That was until you gave me the samedraft. I got a little bit confused after that. I didn't want to make the wrong decision and be played for afool, so I had to make you come here and meet me face-to-face."
Since Chelsea wasn't refusing his offer, Roy then stood up and said to her, "Come on, let's go. I'll takeyou to my writing room."
Chelsea turned to look at Edmund as if asking for his approbation. When he nodded slightly, shesmiled faintly and stood up.
As they walked to his writing room, Roy said, "My wife isn't doing too well, so I took my computers andother things to the first floor. That way, I won't disturb her when I write."
Hearing this, Edmund asked, "Isn't Mrs. Ellis at home today?"
"No, she has been visiting the hospital a lot recently. I'll go and spend time with her in the hospital afteryou're done writing," Roy said with a trace of sadness in his voice. The topic was a little serious andsad, so no one mentioned it again.
