Chapter 62
Gerry left the conference room like every other person. He looked for a quiet place and called Diane.
"Hello, Diane. You are really something. How did you get the script to be changed so fast?" Gerry praised her as soon as the line
connected.
It's all Greek to Diane. She asked in a confused tone, "What do you mean? I didn't do anything."
"Of course, you did something! The production team just had a meeting. The script has been changed. The prince ends up with
his first love in this version!"
Although Diane had tried to convince Edmund to have the script edited to suit her wants, he refused. This was why she had
contacted Gerry to raise concerns about the script whenever he had a meeting with the others.
However, it was changed before Gerry could do anything.
As a result, he concluded that Diane must have pulled some strings from the outside.
"What? The prince will end up with his first love now?" Diane was pleasantly surprised by this news.
"Yes, it has been edited exactly how you wanted it!" Gerry replied, matching her excitement.
Diane was so excited that she covered her mouth. With the phone still pressed against her ear, she jumped for joy.
Previously, her heart sank to her stomach after Edmund refused to do her bidding. She was beginning to think that he didn't love
her. It came as a surprise that he actually went ahead and did what she said despite refusing before.
Unbeknown to her, Edmund's sudden change of mind wasn't because of her. He had done it for his own selfish reasons.
Diane basked in her false conclusion before she finally asked, "How does the prince's ex-wife end up now?"
Gerry slowly filled her in. She was livid as soon as she heard it. "What? The prince's ex-wife is going to live a happy life?"
"Yes, Diane," Gerry replied and scratched his head, sensing that she was infuriated.
"What nonsense! She's supposed to die a miserable death! Why does the new script say that she lives her best life instead of
dying after getting abandoned?" This part of the new version didn't sit right with Diane at all. If the script was written by any other
writer than Chelsea, Diane wouldn't feel that the story was about their love triangle.
"In the previous script, the prince's first love died miserably. Why didn't she write that his ex-wife died instead in this new script?
That bitch is doing this to suit her agenda, isn't she? Fuck her!"
Diane cursed out angrily, not hiding her hatred for Chelsea.
Gerry feared that she would transfer her aggression to him, so he tried to make her see reasons. "Well... I think this new edit is
trying to say that women can live happily with or without a man. It's like a 'Miss Independent' kind of thing."
Diane was headstrong. That wasn't what the ending meant in her books. "Can't it be changed? The story is not centered on the
prince's ex-wife. Her character needs to be killed as soon as she gets abandoned. She's supposed to die!"
Out of frustration, Gerry rolled his eyes and further explained, "I hate to break it to you, Diane. But the production team only went
with the new version because things end happily for everyone. I doubt if they would have accepted it if the prince's ex-wife ended
up dying."
Gerry actually left out an important detail. He liked the new version too!
"I don't care what the others think! You must push for a re-edit of this new version. The prince's ex-wife must die miserably!"
Diane was going crazy.
"Well..." Gerry rubbed his temple, not knowing what to say to her again.
Diane grunted for a while. She then said, "You know what? Kick Chelsea out of the project once and for all. Afterward, you need
to bring on a new scriptwriter who will do my bidding! There are so many experienced scriptwriters. I prefer anyone of them to
that bitch!"
Diane knew it would be hard for the script to be changed according to her desires if Chelsea wasn't kicked out.
She hated to read every line of the play from Chelsea. Her hatred for Chelsea had quadrupled now.
It was unexpected for Chelsea to not ask for a dime after the divorce. But the recent happenings made Diane suspect her
greatly. She felt that Chelsea was trying to ridicule her using the story!
Gerry sighed and argued again. "Chelsea has the backing of Luka. I'm afraid that he wouldn't agree if I propose another revision
or attempt to take her off the project."
"Are you dumb, Gerry? Who says you have to talk to Luka? Force Chelsea to leave of her own accord!" Diane shouted at him
crazily.
