Chapter: 50
At the thought of this, Chelsea took a step back and said to Diane with a sneer,
“Your silly behavior is uncalled for, Diane. Instead of jumping to conclusions, how
about you ask Edmund why I’m here in the middle of the night?”
The mockery in Chelsea’s words was a low blow. Edmund instantly got annoyed
with the situation. He quickly turned to Diane and said with a straight face, “I
asked her to come, so calm down.”
His statement hit Diane Like a bolt out of the blue. She looked at him with her
mouth agape. How could Edmund do such a thing?
She didn’t think he could invite a woman to his office at midnight. Let alone, his
ex-wife whom he loathed to the core.
Chelsea couldn’t care less if Diane believed it or not. She pointed at her and
said, “Diane, I want to get this straight. I’m not a dog, so I can never go back to
my vomit. When I decided to get a divorce, I vowed never to settle for less again.
There’s no way in hell I seduce this arrogant, selfish and heartless man of yours!”
Now that the opportunity to set the record straight had presented itself, Chelsea
didn’t hold back on her feelings. She hoped that Diane would no longer fight her
because of someone she had no interest in.
Her scriptwriting career was what she wanted to invest her time and energy in.
She didn’t want to have anything to do with the wicked people from her past.
The words Chelsea just said were like knives piercing through Edmund’s heart.
His face darkened in an instant. When she got into his bed back then, she
professed her love for him. She had done everything to win his love. But now,
she was boldly declaring that she had no feelings for him.
How dare she call him arrogant and selfish?
He was heartless?
Fury coursed through Edmund’s veins. It was as if he would explode with anger
any moment from now. Not only that, his heart had sunk and there was a glimmer
of hurt on his face.
Did that mean… Did that mean she hated him to the core now?
Chelsea then put on a polite smile and said, “Mr. Nelson, I don’t think we can
continue this meeting tonight. We should reschedule for another time. I’ll take my
leave now.”
Chelsea packed up her laptop and belongings. After taking a few steps she
halted as if she remembered something. She turned around and said, “By the
way, please don’t reschedule the meeting to a late hour like tonight. Let it be
during the day in a public place where many people are, so your fiancée won’t be
jealous to the extent that she’d want to pounce on me.”
“You…” Diane wanted to fire back. But she was too mad to say anything.
“You know, your fiancée has Low self-esteem. She gets too jealous whenever
you are talking to other women. Please don’t cause her to depreciate herself
even more.” Chelsea spun on her heels and left, leaving tension in her wake.
What? Diane had low self-esteem? And she got jealous easily? Chelsea’s
comeback was astonishing. It was more triggering than the insults Diane had
hurled at her when she arrived.
“Chelsea!” Diane crackled with ferocious energy. With her fist raised in the air,
she was about to run after Chelsea and beat her to a pulp. However, Edmund
grabbed her wrist again and pulled her back.

“Are you happy now?” Edmund inquired with anger in his tone.
“What are you insinuating, Edmund? Are you trying to say that I made trouble for
no reason?” Diane burst into tears.
