Chapter 55
"What? She's done modifying the script?" Edmund asked in surprise.
His sudden demand for the script to be modified was a way of getting back at Chelsea for everything.
All that she said yesterday made him boil inside for the entire night. He had always called her a gold- digger, but she vehemently refuted him when they were still married. He resented her for lying to him about her love and true intentions.
She had made him look like the bad guy for refusing her love at that time. How could he not take revenge on her?
Edmund thought that she would have a hard time reworking the script according to his demands. But now that Fay informed him that she was done, he was shocked. It was only two hours that he called Luka.
Did she do it with reckless abandon? Was she trying to get on his nerves again?
Several thoughts ran through Edmund's mind as he collected the script from Fay and read it carefully.
Contrary to his suspicion, the script was well-written. The ending had been modified at his request. But there was one odd addition. It was added that the prince's wife went on to live a happy and peaceful life after their divorce.
What was Chelsea up to? Was she referring to herself as the prince's divorced wife?
The script further stated that many successful men constantly tried to win her love. These men were
more caring than her ex-husband.
Edmund's fingers squeezed the edge of the documents. His blood boiled as he thought of how Orlando and Luka were admiring Chelsea.
The revenge plan he had perfectly put together backfired. Chelsea had managed to turn the tables and make him annoyed again.
When Fay saw the simmering rage on Edmund's face, she said quickly, "Mr. Nelson, if there's something wrong with the script, please tell me. I'll inform Miss Williams about it immediately. Please remember that Doctor Warren said you need to be calm at all times because of your stomach upset."
Edmund dropped the script on the table and took a deep breath to calm down. Indecision clouded his face all of a sudden. He looked up at Fay and ordered, "Schedule a meeting for today. The entire production team needs to sit down and discuss which of the script outlines is the best."
Even though Edmund didn't like some details in the new script, he had to admit that Chelsea had done a good job. It was so good that he couldn't tell which of the scripts was better than the other.
Never did it occur to him that his plan for revenge would lead him to like both of Chelsea's works. For the sake of fairness, he decided to hear the opinion of the crew members.
"Okay, I'll do that right away." Fay nodded and typed a note on her tablet.
Something occurred to Edmund at this moment. He said, "That reminds me. Gerry has become so indecent. I don't want such a person on my payroll. Dismiss him."
Fay was speechless.
Although the Nelson Group was funding the play, it was inappropriate for him to fire the director at will.
Fay was about to dissuade him when she remembered how Gerry had behaved like a pervert to Chelsea last night. She didn't like such men, so she nodded obediently. "Okay, I'll ask another director for his schedule."
Fay went on to report some other affairs of the business to Edmund before she turned to leave. Once she opened the door, Diane came in majestically with a food box.
She greeted Diane politely and left quickly with some documents in hand.
Diane and Fay never saw eye to eye. The former was fond of talking derogatorily to the latter. Diane always rubbed it in her face that she and Leo were beneficiaries of the Nelson family's goodwill. She hated poor people in general, so she never failed to spite them whenever they were in her presence.
Another reason why Diane loathed Fay was that she was insecure. She felt that Fay had feelings for Edmund.
But that was far from the truth. Fay treated Edmund as her boss, nothing more. Besides, she was already in love with someone else.
All her efforts to prove that she didn't have any interest in being romantically involved with Edmund failed to change Diane's heart. Diane continued to be so hostile to the extent that she hinted that Edmund should fire her several times.
Fay didn't like how Diane distrusted her loyalty to Edmund, so she avoided her like a plague. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
As soon as Fay walked out of Edmund's ward, she called Chelsea. "Hello, Chelsea. I just went to the hospital and showed Mr. Nelson the new script. He liked it. However, he wasn't able to choose which of the two versions is the best. He wanted to hear the opinion of the others, so he asked me to schedule a meeting."
