Chapter: 41
“Drop it, Diane. I know exactly what I’m saying. I’m the one investing in this play.
So when I say that the script is good, don’t counter my words!” Edmund
interrupted her seriously.
He didn’t want to argue with her anymore. As far as he was concerned, the script
was perfect and there was no need to tweak it at all.
Diane was taken aback by his words. She could sense the irritation in his voice.
He had indirectly accused her of pointing out a problem when there was none.
Her eyes blazed with fury as she looked at him.
Of course she knew that he had the final say. She had never interfered with his
work in the past. This situation was only different because Chelsea was involved.
She had interfered because she thought Edmund would be displeased with the
similarity just like she was.
“Okay then.” Although Diane badly wanted to throw a fit, she could only suppress
her anger. She feared that Edmund would break up with her if she nagged him
any further. She had come a long way with him. She had to take good care of it.
Continuing the argument would make it obvious that she was poking holes in the
script because it was written by Chelsea. She had put on a sweet and free-
minded attitude just to make sure Edmund continued to love her. She knew that
he would stop loving her if she showed him her true colors.
Diane bit her lower lip and sneered in her heart. Since her argument with
Edmund had reached a dead end, she decided to ask someone else to raise
issues concerning the script Later on.
The director played a pivotal role in production too, didn’t he? The project would
not go on if he wasn’t satisfied with the script. Chelsea was answerable to him,
so he could be of help.
Diane concocted a plan. She had made a lot of connections while she was still in
the entertainment industry. It would be easy for her to crush a new scriptwriter
like Chelsea with the help of her connections.
More so, she still had Sonya on her side. She would make sure Sonya got a role
in this new play.
Diane planned to instigate Sonya to poke holes in the script during production.
Chelsea would surely have a hard time.
Edmund didn’t say a word to Diane for the rest of the ride. He was annoyed with
her. Even after she got off the car and kissed him goodbye, he didn’t say
anything. He just drove off. Diane stared at the car, gritted her teeth, and walked
into her home.
As Edmund drove at a high speed, he was lost in thought.
What annoyed him wasn’t Diane’s interference in his business, but everything he
saw after reading her mind.
It was obvious that Diane became insecure after she found out that Chelsea had
returned and was now working as a scriptwriter. After all, she wouldn’t have
accompanied him if she didn’t know.
For the longest time, Diane had been against Chelsea. But she pretended to be
an unproblematic woman in front of him. Her two-faced nature angered him to
the core. Edmund wondered why she became such a despicable person. She
used to be honest and calm, not pretentious and troublesome.
When he returned to his office, he stared at the paper that Luka had given him. It
wasn’t until thirty minutes later that he finally mustered the courage to call
Chelsea.
“Hello, who’s on the Line?” A female voice wafted into his ear once the line
connected.
Did she just ask that question? How could she? Did this mean she deleted his
number? Could it be that she forgot it? Or was she just pretending?

Chelsea hung up the phone
immediately, sparing him no chance
to speak. Edmund stared at his
phone with his mouth agape. The
only thing he picked from the
conversation was that Chelsea had a
