Chapter: 38
Luka’s praise for Chelsea turned out to be deserving. Indeed, she was a good
scriptwriter whose writing could captivate the hearts of people. Her design
pattern was broad and interesting. This talented side of Chelsea wasn’t the one
he knew at home all those years.
Once the meeting ended, Edmund went straight to Luka’s office, forgetting that
he came with Diane.
Diane’s good acting skills came in handy for her this morning. A smile was
plastered on her face even though she was being ignored. However. her heart
ached and she inwardly cursed non-stop.
Aargh!
Why did Edmund no longer pay attention to her now that Chelsea was back?
Diane gritted her teeth, wishing she could just get rid of Chelsea once and for all.
She decided to do anything within her power to stop them from getting back
together
Edmund went straight to the point as soon as he entered Luka’s office.
“You know exactly what happened to Chelsea. So, tell me.”
Luka poured himself a glass of water slowly and avoided answering Edmund’s
question.
“Mr. Nelson, please have a seat. I thought you came to talk about the script. Tell
me, what do you think about it?”
Edmund remained standing. He pointed at him and asked impatiently, “What’s
your deal, Luka? Why are you keeping me in the dark?”
Both men locked eyes for a few seconds that seemed like a thousand years.
Luka finally broke his gaze and wrote down a series of numbers on a sheet of
paper. He then handed it to Edmund. “Here you go. That’s her phone number.
You can call to ask her yourself.”
Judging by Edmund’s attitude, Luka deduced that he didn’t know today was the
anniversary of Chelsea’s mother’s death.
He found this ridiculous owing to the fact that Edmund had been married to
Chelsea for three years. This proved to Luka that what he heard in the past was
true. Edmund had been an uncaring husband.
Luka sneered inwardly. Why was he so concerned about Chelsea now that they
were divorced?
Could it be that he realized his mistakes? Was he trying to get back with her? Or
did he just think that Chelsea still cared about him? What a delusional man!
Edmund snatched the piece of paper without hesitation. Instead of leaving, he
said with a smirk, “Who would have thought that you had good eyes for talent? I
have to hand it to you, you are a big risk-taker for sparing no effort to train a
newcomer.”
Now that Edmund suspected that Luka had a crush on his ex-wife, he couldn’t
help satirizing him. He felt that Luka only sent Chelsea abroad because he liked
her.

Like the intelligent man that he was,
Luka read the underlying meaning in
Edmund’s words. He shook his head
and smiled. “Mr. Nelson, I hate to say
this, but it seems you don’t know
your ex-wife at all. It’s not that I am a
big risk-taker or a good judge of
talent. Chelsea is just too excellent
that I couldnt help giving her a
chance. You know, talented people
need the platform to show what
they’re capable of. Otherwise, they
would remain undiscovered like
diamonds in the ground.” The

“Oh, really?” Edmund scoffed and stared at Luka with his eyebrows raised.

“It might interest you to know that
when Zuri first introduced Chelsea as
a part-time scriptwriter, I casually
gave her the script I was working on
and asked her to write an outline as a
test. To my greatest surprise, she did
marvelously well. Her work was the
best I had ever seen from new
scriptwriters. Mr. Lewis even selected
it at first glance. I can never forget
how ecstatic he was when he came
and asked to be her mentor.” The

Atrace of surprise flashed through Edmund’s eyes. It was no news that Eugene
never liked to mentor anyone. He had broken the hearts of many upcoming
scriptwriters who wanted to be his mentees. Thus, it was shocking to Learn that
he personally asked to mentor Chelsea.

Noticing the surprise in Edmund’s
eyes, Luka added, “You may not know
this, but Chelsea has been fond of
literature since childhood.
Throughout her school years, she
won various prizes for her literary
pieces. She was also the best
graduating student in her class at the
university. You could say that she
breathes literature.” The content is on

Edmund’s head was full. It dawned on him that the woman who he had been
married to for three years completely deceived him. If he didn’t know better, he
would have thought Luka was showering praises on a completely different
person.
