Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Edmund looked at the director expressionlessly. As soon as the director opened his mouth, Edmund knew what he intended to say.

"Although this matter has finally been resolved and Chelsea's image has been restored, we still can't be sure that it won't happen again."

Edmund fixed his gaze on him and replied flatly, "It won't happen again."

The director still insisted, "The filming of The Crown is a big-budget production. The loss will be massive if another batch of Chelsea's dirty laundry gets tossed out in the open."

Edmund didn't say a word, but he was already in a foul mood.

Still, the director continued, "Mr. Nelson, you know very well that this play has already cost us a lot of energy and money since we began working on it. Chelsea may not be one of the actresses in the play, but she's still involved as the scriptwriter. If she gets gossiped about again, she will put the entire production at risk. If something happens to her, the project will be postponed, and we will lose time and money again. I suggest we get a new scriptwriter."

Edmund didn't interrupt the director the whole time. He just let him talk and talk.

After he finished speaking, Edmund asked pointedly, "How do you know that Chelsea is the scriptwriter for The Crown?"

First of all, although some information on Chelsea had been exposed on the Internet, her role as The Crown's scriptwriter hadn't been made public.

Second, this director wasn't involved in the Nelson Group's film and television department. Also, besides The Crown, the Nelson Group had many film and television projects in progress. Why did he only focus on The Crown?

Someone must've incited him to get Chelsea replaced as The Crown's scriptwriter. What other reason could he have?

The director was speechless for a moment.

Edmund flashed him a cold look and then moved on to the next item on the agenda.

After the meeting, Diane's agent, Katharine Acosta, stayed.

Katharine said to Edmund, "Mr. Nelson, Miss Stevenson called me and said that she wanted to continue with her work."

After Diane stopped acting, Katharine kept working for the Nelson Group and handled two other talents.

Perhaps it was because Edmund didn't have a good impression of Diane that he also disliked her agent.

So he replied in an indifferent tone, "Fine. You can make the arrangements for her."

Katharine continued, "I heard that the female supporting role in The Crown hasn't been filled yet. I wonder if she can have that part in the play."

Edmund felt even more disgusted. He said impatiently, "I don't do casting, Katharine. If Diane is interested in the role, then you two should get in touch with Luka and find out when he's holding auditions."

Katharine didn't know how to respond for a moment. In the past, whenever Edmund invested in a play, he always green-lit whatever role Diane fancied.
