Astonishing Comeback
"Diane!"
Edmund was quick enough to catch Diane's hand before the slap landed on Chelsea's cheek.
"What's wrong with you? Why are you overreacting?"
Edmund bellowed angrily.His grip tightened over Diane's wrist and it turned red.
Unwilling to back down, Diane shook off Edmund's hand with maximum strength.Her eyes blazed like
Cyclops from X-Men's eyes for a split second.
Afterward, she looked pitiful as she fought back tears.
"Why won't I overreact? Answer me! Which woman in her right mind would be pleased to find out that a
slut came to her man’s office at midnight? What's she doing here? Edmund, do you need me to remind
you how she set you up four years ago?"
At first, Chelsea was grateful to Edmund for helping her block Diane's slap.She thought he would
reprimand Diane more angrily.But when she saw that he was being lenient with Diane, she stopped
being grateful.
These two were getting married soon.
They were a family.
Edmund had reacted exactly how he did during Chelsea's altercation with Sonya.He prevented
Chelsea from getting hurt, but she wasn't grateful at all.
She just felt that he was protecting Diane.
Diane was a popular star and the future Mrs.Nelson.
If the word got out that she slapped Chelsea after accusing her of seducing Edmund, the reputation of
the Nelson family and Diane would be affected negatively.
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 script
writing 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.
