Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 226

At Fairyland Culture.

Early in the morning, Diane walked into her new office with a delicate makeup on and high heels. She stood gracefully in front of the French window, enjoying the magnificent view of the sea and drinking a cup of coffee. She was in such a good mood this morning that she knew nothing could ruin it.

Her newly established company was just next to the Nelson Group's building.

She only chose this building because it was taller than the Nelson Group's building, and it made her feel like she could suppress and surpass them.

She was just so happy that Philip had bought the whole floor for her. So she had nothing to worry about.

She had never thought that she could be her own boss. The feeling of being her own boss was so amazing. It was definitely more pleasant and satisfying than being an actress.

As the boss of her own company, she could control the fate of the employees and make the final decisions on every project. This was the type of power she was looking for.

Suddenly, her phone rang and interrupted her thoughts. When she saw that it was a call from Roy, she put down her coffee and answered the call with a smile.

"Hello, Mr. Ellis." Diane's voice was pleasant. She was clearly expecting good news.

However, her joy was ripped away when Roy said, "I'm sorry, Miss Stevenson, but after the trial, I've

decided to work with Winter, the scriptwriter proposed by the Nelson Group."

"What?" Shocked by what she just heard, Diane shouted in disbelief. NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

This time, she had been a hundred percent sure of winning. She had never entertained the thought of Roy choosing Chelsea.

After having nurtured her hope for so long, Diane couldn't just accept Roy's decision like that. She had to understand why. "Why?"

"I think you know why, Miss Stevenson. Do you think I'm a fool? Or that Edmund and Chelsea are fools? The two drafts were exactly the same. Did you think I wouldn't realize it or what exactly did you have in mind?"

Diane's face turned pale as she realized that she had been caught. But of course, she would never admit it. "Are you trying to say we plagiarized? Do you have any evidence to prove what you're saying?"

Roy shook his head and said, "I know that you and Gerry hired someone to hack into Chelsea's computer and steal her draft."

After this, Diane was so disturbed that she didn't filter her words before spitting them out. "Mr. Ellis, I don't understand why you're protecting Chelsea this way. Did she also succeed in getting into your bed?"

Roy couldn't believe what she just said. She had gone too far.

"Damn it! You'll regret ever saying that!" Roy spat out in anger.

Then, he took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "You wanted evidence, right? Well, how's this for evidence? The story I later on asked you to adapt, was written by Chelsea for the sole purpose of seeing who was stealing her work. If that isn't proof of your plagiarism, I don't know what is."

Diane gulped. That was indeed irrefutable evidence. Frustrated, she slumped into her seat and tried to make sense of her thoughts.

This couldn't be happening.

Roy and Edmund had joined hands and tricked both her and Gerry in their own game.

"Diane, your behaviour was not only insulting to me, but to Chelsea too. You stained the whole film and television circle. People like you should be kicked out of this industry. So, I'm telling you upfront what I'm going to do. I will expose your company and make everyone in the industry see who you truly are. You are not honest people, and they will know about it."

"No, don't!" Diane shouted hysterically and stretched out a hand as though he was in front of her. "Please Mr. Ellis, don't expose us. I know we should have never done that. It was very wrong, and I promise you that it will never happen again. We will take our work very seriously. We only went to such an extent this time because we really wanted to get the right of adapting your work."

Diane kept begging him to forgive them and have mercy. Roy wasn't only a famous writer and scriptwriter, but he was also a veteran in the film and television industry. If she became his target, then her company would be destroyed before she knew it.

Roy already knew what to say since he had expected this grovelling. "If you don't want me to expose your company's ways to everyone, then you and Gerry will have to apologize sincerely to Chelsea, and she has to forgive you. If not... Also, you and Gerry have to write a statement of repentance if you're truly sorry."

"What? You want me to apologize to Chelsea personally?" Diane grunted out through gritted teeth.

She couldn't do it!

She just couldn't!

She would rather die than apologize to Chelsea!

Over the years, she had always been very arrogant in front of Chelsea, and even rude too. How could she humble herself and apologize to her? She couldn't!

"I'm sorry, Miss Stevenson, but am I asking too much of you?

You are free to refuse of course. Just know that I'm going to make sure everyone knows what you did."

Just as Roy was about to hang up, Diane gritted her teeth and said, "Fine! Fine, I'll do it! I'll contact Chelsea and apologize in person. And as you said, I will write a statement of repentance. Just please, don't do anything to put my company in danger."

Her company had just been established. She couldn't let it fall to the ground when it hadn't even begun.

She was only agreeing to Roy's request to keep him calm, but she had no plans of doing that. She would have to figure out how to get out of it.

"Okay then. I'll give you three days to get it done," he said firmly and then hung up.

Diane threw the phone against the wall in anger. Her assistant heard the noise from outside and quickly ran in. "Miss Stevenson, what happened?"

"Get out!" she shouted, pouring all her frustration on the assistant.

Scared out of her wits, the assistant quickly shut the door.

Diane was going crazy. Just the thought of going to apologize to Chelsea made her mind tick not in a good way.

Damn Chelsea!

It was all her fault! That bitch had embarrassed her and she was going to regret it.
