Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 66

Chapter 66

The dinner didn't end until late in the night. Chelsea stayed back at Zuri's house as usual. Fay ordereda Uber to take her home. And Luka went back to his house which was only a few blocks away.

The next morning, Chelsea wanted to go to Edmund's residence. Zuri had to be on set too, so shegave her a ride.

They were almost at Edmund's residence when Zuri received a call from her agent, Sunny Foster.

On the verge of breaking down, Sunny said, "Zuri, you're the trending topic now. The media is reportingthat you are a lesbian and that you're dating Mr. Nelson's ex-wife!"

Zuri almost spat out the coffee she had just sipped. She coughed and asked, "What? They are sayingI'm a lesbian? And that I'm dating Chelsea?"

Sunny sighed and replied, "Yes. This doesn't look good, Zuri. They have pictures to seemingly provetheir point. In one, you put your arm around Chelsea's shoulder as you came out of your house thismorning."

Since the beginning of Zuri's acting career, Sunny had been by her side. He knew that she andChelsea were just close friends, not a couple.

Zuri said honestly, "Yes, I had too much to drink last night. I'm still suffering from a hangover, but I needto be on set this morning. My head was banging and my legs were feeling a little weak, so I supportedmyself by holding Chelsea. How does that make me a lesbian?"

In a fit of pique, Zuri hit the steering wheel and continued, "How the hell were the paparazzi able to

take photos of me? I thought you said that the estate is private. How come they traced me and gainedentrance too?"

Sunny ran her fingers through her hair and responded helplessly, "Honestly, I don't know. You are quitepopular now. The paparazzi can do anything just to get a picture of you."

The phone was on speaker mode in the car, so Chelsea could hear everything Sunny was saying. Thenews shocked her to the bones. Her mouth was agape as her mind went all over the place.

In the past, Zuri had told her that the media could cook up stories just to gain traffic or views. However,she didn't think they could go to this length. She had heard a few celebrity gossip, but this was themost outrageous one!

Friends holding each other was a normal thing. However, the media twisted the whole thing and madeit seem like they were actually dating.

Fortunately, Chelsea was divorced. If she was still married to Edmund, this would not only be a datingscandal, but also a cheating affair. It might land Edmund more than in the hospital.

Fury was burning Zuri's entire body at this time. She parked the car by the roadside. Fiddling with herflaxen curly hair, she asked, "What should I do now?"

"What should you do? Do you want to let them continue propagating a false narrative about you? Ofcourse, you need to address the issue immediately!" Sunny answered, her voice slightly raised.

Zuri shouted angrily, "I'm not into women at all. And I'm most definitely not dating Chelsea. You knowwe are just good friends. The man I love is..."

Zuri was so angry that she almost blurted out the name of the man she loved. When she thought ofhow the man, who was on the other side of the continent, might have forgotten all about her, she heldher tongue and leaned back into her seat in frustration.

"What's the use of shouting at me? I'm not the one that needs convincing. You need to preach to thepublic, making them believe that you and Chelsea are innocent," Sunny uttered, amused by heroutburst.

Zuri rubbed her forehead hard. This matter was making her head bang more than before.

She leaned on Chelsea's shoulder and said, "I'm sorry for raising my voice, Sunny. Just make it clear tothem that Chelsea and I are just good friends."

"Okay, no problem. I'll issue a statement soon," Sunny replied with a sigh.

Something occurred to her the next second. She inquired curiously, "By the way, did you offend Dianerecently? I found out that she was the one that started the rumor and caused the media to go to thislength to photograph you and Chelsea. Did you do something to piss her off?"

At the mention of Diane's name, Zuri abruptly sat upright. "Why the hell would I offend her? I don't givea damn about that hypocritical woman. Why did she do this to me?"

Everything finally made sense to Chelsea when she heard that Diane was involved in this. After puttingtwo and two together, she whispered to Zuri, "I think she's doing this to spite me."

It was a known fact that Diane was a jealous and vile woman. Perhaps she wanted to hurt Chelsea, so

she went for her friend.

Or maybe Zuri was just caught up in the storm when Diane tried to spoil Chelsea's reputation.

However, it didn't matter who she was targeting exactly. Either way, the reputation of both Chelsea andZuri would be affected.
