Gerry had a bad feeling about this. He couldn’t help but wonder if something was wrong with the draft they had given Roy.
He was clutched by guilt. Without wasting another second, he hurried to Diane's office. After Diane narrated to him the conversation she had with Roy, Gerry’s face turned white as a sheet.
If Roy exposed this matter, they were undoubtedly in trouble. With sweat forming on his forehead, he said, “Then let’s not waste tand apologize to Chelsea.”
Diane's eyes widened in disbelief and she shrieked, “That's impossible! | can’t apologize to Chelsea. You can never getto apologize to that wretched woman.”

Gerry, who couldn't tell why she was being so stubborn, asked, “Why do you hate Chelsea so much? What has she done to you? Can't you just apologize and get over this?”
Diane’s face was contorted with anger. Gritting her teeth, she said, “She is Edmund's ex-wife. If it weren't for her, | would have married Edmund!”
Gerry was shocked at this revelation and his mouth was wide open. Chelsea was Edmund's ex-wife! This was news to him. Gerry couldn't help but feel betrayed. Diane had never told this to him. If he had known that Chelsea was Edmund's ex-wife, he wouldn’t even have entertained the idea of harassing her.
But he also understood why Diane hated Chelsea so much and couldn’t apologize to her. Giving this issue sthought, he implored, “Miss Stevenson, you need to put aside the feud you have with Chelsea. The current situation is indeed unfavorable to us. We can’t confront her head-on. The Fairyland Culture has just been established. If we get criticized before building a reputation, | am afraid we won't be able to take part in any movie or play in the future. Aren’t we at loss here?”
Gerry tried to knock ssense into Diane. If Fairyland Culture went bankrupt, he would lose his job again.
“I'LL think about it,” she said finally. Diane knew she couldn’t say no. After all, she had no other choice. Slightly relieved, Gerry left her office.
At this moment, Chelsea and Edmund were on the plane back to Vertoak. The two remained silent throughout the journey. Edmund had arranged for Leo to pick them up.
After getting off the plane, he and Chelsea walked towards the parking lot carrying their Luggage. To his frustration, he couldn't spot Leo. Instead, they saw a black car slowly stop in front of them.
The window of the car was rolled down, and Jaime’s face appeared in front of them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChelsea wasn’t well-acquainted with her former father-in-law, Jaime. In fact, she had only seen him three times and those brief meetings were during Christmas dinners. The two of them had only shared a handful of words with each other.
But Chelsea knew that like Alena, Jamie also disliked her.
Seeing Jaagain, Chelsea flushed with embarrassment. After all, she and Edmund had divorced.
Edmund was expressionless when he saw his father. Jamie had been abroad all these years so he knew his visit had to do with Sonya’s case. Edmund turned to Chelsea and said, “You can go back hwith Leo.”
Relieved, Chelsea nodded her head. When she was about to turn around, Jasaid, “Since | am here, | could give you a lift, Chelsea. Do cwith us.”
Before Chelsea could reply, Edmund said, “No need. That will be quite unnecessary.”
Then Edmund put the suitcase into the trunk and got into the car. Thankful for Edmund's intervention, Chelsea hurried to the parking lot and spotted Leo’s car.
