Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 223

Chapter 223

Chelsea had no idea why Edmund suddenly wanted to choose a wedding dress. Nonetheless, it upsether.

Her face was void of any emotion. She just sat there and looked out of the window.

The reason why she maintained an expressionless face was that she didn't want to keep thinking abouttheir past. Holding the grudge only made her sadder.

The ride back to the hotel was a quiet one. None of them said a word to each other. When they walkedinto the hotel lobby, they saw Diane and Gerry waiting there.

Although they pretended to be having coffee and chatting leisurely, they constantly looked at theentrance. It was obvious they were growing anxious.

Once Gerry saw Chelsea and Edmund, he sprang to his feet and walked over. "Where have you twobeen? What took you so long?"

Gerry stared at them intently. He didn't want to miss any emotion on their faces.

With a sneer, Edmund put his arm around Chelsea's waist and said, "We went on a date!"

Chelsea's eyes widened immediately.

How could he say that? Was this a trick to get on these connivers' nerves? Anyway, did he have to holdher in this manner?

Gerry's jaw dropped at this moment. He was too stunned to speak.

Never did it cross his mind that they had something going on.

Although Edmund had supported Chelsea during that incident in the past, Gerry thought it was onlybecause he and the assistant director had gone too far.

But it seemed not to be the case now.

Diane, who had heard that statement, was so furious. Her face turned red.

She didn't expect Edmund to fall in love with Chelsea. This was someone he used to hate with everyfiber of his being. Why the hell did he fall in love with her now?

The two allies stared at the exes for a long time. Edmund scoffed and left, still holding Chelsea aroundher waist.

It wasn't until they went out of sight that Diane finally regained her senses. She remembered that shehadn't criticized Chelsea as they planned. She stamped her feet and grunted loudly.

Turning to Gerry, she yelled, "Snap out of it, you idiot! Why are you gawking like a moron? Can't yousay something?"

Gerry came to his senses and apologized. "I'm sorry, Miss Stevenson. What happened just now tookme by surprise."

When he saw that Diane looked angry rather than surprised, he asked, "Aren't you surprised that theyare close?"

"Why should I be? There's nothing surprising about that. Chelsea is a whore. Although she acts as ifshe's a pure angel, she's actually a bitch who jumps from one man's bed to the other!" Diane remarkedcrossly.

She bad-mouthed Chelsea deliberately. Unbeknownst to Gerry, Chelsea was actually Edmund's ex-wife.

He snapped his fingers and seconded her, "You are right, Miss Stevenson. I think she also datedOrlando once. And now she's with Mr. Nelson. What a whore!"

With a sullen face, Diane went back to the sofa she previously sat on. She then inquired, "What do youthink is on Roy's mind since he asked for another test?"

Gerry was a dubious man who had no intentions to work for what he wanted anymore. "It doesn'tmatter what he's thinking. What matters now is spoiling Chelsea's chances of working on the project.We just have to steal whatever she writes. And then, we are good to go! It will be easy to end hercareer. The only script she has written single-handedly is that of the play, The Crown. The projecthasn't been released yet, so she doesn't have the much-needed clout. Why would Roy choosesomeone like that?"

Diane nodded thoughtfully. The tension in her chest eased up a bit. "Speaking of the script for TheCrown, we need to act fast since we already have the draft that bitch wrote."

If they could shoot the play and release it first, Luka and Chelsea would be accused of plagiarism. Theywouldn't be able to stand the storm that would come for them!

"That's a good idea! Actually, I have already asked someone to revise the script. It will be readysoonest," Garry responded immediately.

They had got the script from Chelsea's computer. To avoid suspicions, Gerry gave it to someone to putfinishing touches to it.

This was the same thing they did to the script they had submitted to Roy. They tweaked it a littledespite maintaining Chelsea's initial thoughts.

Nonetheless, it was still plagiarism. There was very little difference between the two works. Everyindividual had a unique style of writing. Changing a few words meant a thing. Roy was an expert, so heknew what went on.

Once Chelsea got into the elevator with Edmund, she shook off his hand and moved away from him.

Edmund spared her a glance. He acted as if nothing unusual had happened.

This annoyed Chelsea greatly. After thinking about the incident, she blurted out, "Why did you say thatwe went on a date?"

"Are you really asking me that? Didn't you see how effective those words were?" Edmund uttered,shrugging indifferently.

Chelsea frowned at him. She reasoned that it was necessary to make it clear. "Just so we are on the

same page, don't ever do that again. I have a boyfriend now. Don't you know that someone could havetaken a picture of us and posted it on social media? People will call me a bitch for dating two men atonce. Worse still, Mr. Pierce is a famous figure. His girlfriend dating another man would affect his publicimage!"

Edmund almost got pissed off by her words. Why did she care so much about Luka?

Just as he was trying to calm down, he picked a hole in her statement. "Why did you just call yourboyfriend Mr. Pierce?"

Chelsea's heart skipped a beat. She wondered why he was so attentive that he could notice such amistake.

Putting on a defiant expression, she asked, "And what's wrong with that? Is there a law that says I can'taddress my boyfriend like that? I just like to call him that. Why does it bother you?"

Edmund suddenly moved to her. He leaned towards her and stared deeply into her eyes. Afterward, hesaid, "You can call him whatever you want. I just think that title is a little too formal since you both aresupposedly dating."
