Chapter 131
Edmund admitted that he was wrong not to have explained things to Chelsea after he spent the night with Diane. He reasoned
that he should have done better instead of making her sadder than she already was.
Several pieces of gossip about him and Diane were spread far and wide after that incident. Although he knew that it was Diane's
handiwork, he turned a blind eye to it. He wasn't perturbed that Chelsea was scorned at that time due to his alleged infidelity.
Even though he knew that he wasn't supposed to be doing that, he did it anyway. He derived joy in hurting her.
This was because he loathed her so much at that time. Hadn't she tricked him into marrying her? He was stuck with her in that
marriage, so he was hell-bent on making her suffer for tricking him.
Being indifferent, ruthless and rude to her was a way of getting back at her. He wanted to see how she could bear the incessant
suffering.
Perhaps he would have stopped doing all that if she had cried her eyes out and confronted him.
All he wanted was to see her sad and in pain.
It was the only way the anger in his heart could dissipate.
Much to his dismay, Chelsea never cried in his presence or asked him to love her during their marriage. It seemed like she
wasn't sad at all. Thus, he geared up his ruthlessness toward her as the days went by.
It wasn't until now that Chelsea accused him of cheating on her that he realized that she had been bottling up her hurt for so
long.
His heart went out to her at this time. He had wanted to explain things to her. But after she hung up on him for what seemed like
the thousandth time, his heart became hardened again.
It was rather odd that Chelsea had called to express her gratitude, but they ended up arguing.
After hanging up the phone, Chelsea got a grip on herself and logged on to Facebook to send Edmund a friend request.
Mild regret tugged at her heart now. She felt that she shouldn't have hung up in that manner. After all, he had come to her aid
today. But she couldn't swallow her pride to call him to apologize. Sending him a friend request was a way of showing that she
was sorry.
She planned to send him an apologetic message via Facebook messenger, so they would be cool.
Chelsea sent him a friend request. It was pending because Edmund's approval was needed.
However, several minutes passed and he didn't accept her request. Chelsea was a little stunned. Didn't he always want to be her
friend on Facebook? Why didn't he accept now? Was it because he was still angry?
"Humph! What a childish man!"
Chelsea rolled her eyes and logged out of Facebook since there was no point waiting for so long. She logged into her Twitter
account and began to delete her old tweets about her love life.
It would be strange if she deleted her tweets in their entirety, so she left the articles about movies and TV plays reviews, and
pictures of delicious foods.
Afterward, she called Luka to inform him that she would rather defend herself on Twitter via her account.
Luka, who wasn't surprised at all, thought it was a good idea. "Okay, you can do that."
He then added, "I actually thought you weren't on Twitter. That's why I decided to use the company's official account to defend
you since it already has a lot of followers. Anyway, your idea is good."
Chelsea said gratefully, "Yeah, I'm aware of your kindness, Mr. Pierce. Thank you so much. But I think it's best I defend myself
via my account. There are many popular actors signed with Peak Entertainment. Their careers would be at risk if the public
decides to boycott the company. I don't want anyone to suffer losses because of me."
Chelsea went on to tell Luka that Edmund had given her a record of his cash transfers to Hilton and Garry over the years.
Luka exclaimed, "Wow! That's great. You are sure to win this battle with that evidence. I guess I misjudged Edmund. He doesn't
seem like a ruthless man."
It was at this moment that Luka finally understood why Chelsea changed her mind out of the blue. Edmund must have given her
that idea.
This wasn't the first time Edmund was disrupting his plan. What was his deal?
Why was he so concerned about what went on in his ex-wife's life? Why didn't he want other men to woo her? Luka pondered
deeply.
