Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 227

Soon after Gerry sat in the office, Diane's assistant knocked on the door and called for him. It turned out that Diane was in a bad temper and he was needed to see her as soon as possible.

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 time and apologize to Chelsea."

Diane's eyes widened in disbelief and she shrieked, "That's impossible! I can't apologize to Chelsea. You can never get me to apologize to that wretched woman."

Gerry was quite confused. "What else is there for us to do if not apologize? Are you okay with being criticized in public?"

Diane gritted her teeth and remained silent for she had no answer to this.

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, I 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 some thought, 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, I 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 some sense 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.

Chelsea 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 Jaime again, 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 home with Leo."

Relieved, Chelsea nodded her head. When she was about to turn around, Jaime said, "Since I am here, I could give you a lift, Chelsea. Do come with 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.

As soon as Edmund got in the car, Jaime said indifferently, "Why did you not let her join us in the car? Are you under the impression I will eat her?" Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Edmund, when he replied back, had the same indifference as his father. "She doesn't know us well. It won't be comfortable for her."

He was sure Jaime had deliberately appeared here to pressurize Chelsea. After all, it was Chelsea who had decided to sue Sonya.

Jaime raised his eyebrows in amusement and asked, "If she is not familiar with you, why are you on a business trip together?"

"It's strictly for work," Edmund replied.

Jaime was rendered speechless.

When had his son learned to lie through his teeth?

Sonya had told him on phone that Edmund was madly in love with Chelsea. But now, he was trying to downplay it and act as if Chelsea was merely a workmate.

Jaime was too angry to speak. The two of them looked out of the window, and neither of them made an effort to break this silence.

Jaime hadn't spent much time with his children. Now he lived abroad all year round, so the relationship between him and Edmund was quite strained.

Truth be told, it wouldn't be exaggerating to say Edmund only had a blood relationship with Jaime. Neither of them genuinely cared for each other.

Therefore, seeing that Jaime came back and tried to interfere in Sonya's affairs, Edmund felt a stirring of annoyance.

He wouldn't allow Jaime to interfere!
