Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 212

After thinking about it for a while, Chris suggested, "Should we find a psychologist to help her? I'm afraid that your mother's condition will get worse with time if this goes on."

"Well, this is a nice idea but do you actually think she will agree to it?" Edmund knew it would be impossible to convince her.

From what he knew of Alena's personality, she would probably end up kicking the psychologist.

After Chelsea was discharged from the hospital, Luka went back to his hometown to accompany his mother. It was believed that he had postponed all his work apart from the preparatory work of The Crown.

As for the company's management, it was handed over to Luka's partner who had never appeared and was referred to as N.

Since Luka's partner was still abroad, he would hold a teleconference on every Monday, listening to the reports of the people from the various departments. He gave proper instructions on relevant affairs.

No one knew the real name of Luka's partner and they could only speculate the reason behind him using the name "N".

Most of them agreed that this man wanted to remain a mystery. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

What was more surprising was that this man used a voice changer in the telephone meeting. In spite of

these peculiarities, no one dared to deny that this man was very capable. He often pointed out things that nobody else could. His extraordinary leadership skills were evident to everyone.

Before leaving, Luka told Chelsea that Edmund proposed that she try to be the scriptwriter of Roy's new book. Chelsea was shocked to hear that.

When had Edmund started to think so highly of her? Why was he proposing such a big thing?

Luka, understanding her confusion, said encouragingly, "I think it's a good opportunity. You should give it a try."

Chelsea had no desire to cooperate with Edmund. However, here they were talking about Roy's new book. It was a big deal and quite tempting. She had dreamed of working with Roy since forever.

And now Luka too was persuading her to do it. In the end, Chelsea gave in and decided to try it.

She reminded herself that her draft wouldn't pass probably. But it was still worth a shot.

Zuri had no work recently so she paid Chelsea a visit often. She had her meals at Chelsea's apartment ever since she was discharged from the hospital.

Chelsea could tell her friend was doing this out of genuine concern.

The two of them didn't disturb each other and stayed out of each other's way. When Chelsea was working, Zuri would sit on the sofa and watch a play by herself. Other times she would study the script of her new play.

That morning, as soon as Zuri entered Chelsea's apartment, she exclaimed, "Shit, I heard that Edmund's mother attempted suicide."

Chelsea, who had been busy making coffee, was stunned. "What?" she asked, unable to believe her ears.

Alena had committed suicide?

After kicking off her shoes, Zuri came in and handed the news screenshot to Chelsea. "Yes and it is all over the Internet."

Zuri surfed the Internet all day long. Hence she was up to date with everything.

"Here is a picture of Edmund with disheveled hair, taken in the middle of the night from the hospital. Someone confessed to hearing Edmund and his mother quarrel over his sister's matter. It was deleted immediately. Fortunately, I took a screenshot in time."

Zuri continued to say, "I guess Alena must be dissatisfied with Edmund's indifference to Sonya. That's probably what led to this quarrel."

Zuri realized Chelsea hadn't said a word and she had done all the talking. Turning to Chelsea, she said, "Don't tell me you feel sorry for Edmund!"

Without waiting for Chelsea's response, Zuri said with a note of warning in her voice, "I'm telling you, don't be softhearted and withdraw the lawsuit. You need to sue Sonya for what she did. Alena is doing all this in the hope that you would give up. Sonya, that bitch, deserves to be punished!"

Chelsea regained her senses. Shaking her head, she said, "Of course I won't withdraw the lawsuit. I'm surprised Edmund isn't trying to please his mother and sister this time. I was expecting him to threaten me into withdrawing the lawsuit."

Zuri snorted and said, "How dare he! If he continues to protect his family, I won't let him go!"

With a smile, Chelsea handed a cup of coffee to Zuri and asked, "Is Alena fine?"

Taking a sip of the freshly brewed coffee, Zuri sighed with relish and said, "Don't worry. How could someone like Alena really hurt herself? I guess her suicide is just a show. People like her can only torture others brutally. When it comes to themselves, they are very careful. She won't leave the world so soon."

Zuri spoke ill of Alena with a fierceness.

Chelsea said nothing but continued to sip her coffee, mulling over something.

Even though she didn't admit it, Alena's suicide attempt had made her waver in her pursuit to get justice.

She had a kind heart and wouldn't want anyone to be harmed because of her. She almost told herself she should forgive Sonya. And she wouldn't be regarded as the one creating a rift between Edmund and his family. After all, at the end of the day, she was neither harmed nor raped. Wasn't it fine to let it go?

Once these softer emotions faded, she shook her head and told herself that it wouldn't be fair. Sonya

could do something like this again in the future. It would be wrong to let her walk freely.

If Chelsea withdrew the lawsuit, Sonya could mistake it for her weakness and perhaps think she was easy to bully. Then she might attempt something more extreme in the future.

Taking a sip of coffee, Zuri was reminded of something. Turning to Chelsea, she said, "Did you hear that Diane terminated her contract with the Nelson Group? She has set up her own film and television company."
