Chapter 4 Big Winner

Zuri's eyes lit up when she heard Chelsea say that she wanted to concentrate on her career. She set down her glass and said, "That reminds me, there is an opening for an all-expense-paid course abroad as a scriptwriter in our company. Since you are so hell-bent on concentrating on your career, you can seize this opportunity. I can tell Luka that I've got the perfect candidate for the post."

Chelsea majored in drama and film at the university. When she got married soon after graduation, Zuri didn't want Chelsea's talent to go to waste. This was why she had recommended her to be a part-time scriptwriter in the past.

Edmund didn't know that Chelsea worked part-time. No one else knew because she wrote under the pen name, Winter.

Chelsea couldn't believe her ears. She sat up and asked, "Really?"

"Of course!" Zuri nodded firmly. "The vacancy has been open for a while now. Luka has always appreciated your talent. Although you are just a part-time scriptwriter for now, he'll be glad to provide the resources for you to be trained as a full-time scriptwriter. Just give me your approval and I'll speak to him about it."

Zuri was signed to Peak Entertainment which was founded by a former award-winning actor, Luka Pierce, and his good friend. After a successful acting career, he started to work backstage with film production a few years ago. The most successful actors, directors, and scriptwriters worked with the company. It had taken the industry by storm. Within a few years, it produced many blockbuster movies and TV plays.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!" Chelsea agreed without hesitation.

Taking a break from the city was a wise thing to do after getting a divorce.

Chelsea knew that the news of the divorce would be the talk of the town. She didn't want her heartbreak to get worse than this, so she felt that it was best to leave the country.

Two days later, Zuri accompanied Chelsea to Peak Entertainment to sign the employment contract. From there, she went to visit Ethan, the only person who had been kind to her in the family. As a result, she felt that it was pertinent to tell him about her decision.

Thirty minutes after a heart-to-heart talk with Ethan in his study, Chelsea was about to leave with teary eyes. But she unexpectedly bumped into Edmund, who had just come back from his business trip.

The grey suit he had on made him look nobler. As a thirty-year-old man, he looked mature and sturdy. His aura was dignified and intimidating. However, he still had a way of drawing people to him like steel to a magnet.

Chelsea had to remind herself to look away just when she was about to drool over him. His appearance was the reason why she used to be so obsessed with him.

Edmund glanced at her and walked to Ethan. "I'm sorry for arriving late, Grandpa. I was handling the project in Entosea. I just came back. How have you been?"

Ethan had earlier summoned Edmund home to discuss some family affairs. But he didn't expect that Chelsea would suddenly visit him to break the unexpected news to him.

Since the marriage, Ethan had been good to Chelsea. When he remembered how she vehemently refused to stay married to Edmund, he was furious with his grandson. "Don't tell me sorry, Edmund. I'm not the one you should be apologizing to!"

Ethan then walked away angrily. Edmund was stunned. With a frown, he looked at Chelsea.

Slight displeasure flitted in his eyes. He had a sneaky suspicion that Chelsea had complained to Ethan again.

Sensing that he was going to give her an earful, Chelsea curled her lips mockingly. "Just so you know, what I talked to grandpa is all for your own good!"

She then left without a backward glance.

As far as Chelsea was concerned, Edmund had nothing to lose after their divorce. He would have no obligation to her, so he could be with his beloved mistress and even start a family with her. Of course, he would be the big winner.

Edmund's face completely darkened because of Chelsea's statement. He could sense the irony in her words.

It came as a shock to him that his docile and obedient wife was now bold enough to shut him up even before he could attempt to speak. He couldn't help wondering where she got the guts from.

Edmund loosened his tie and breathed heavily. After suppressing his anger, he went to look for Ethan.

Ten minutes later, he accosted Chelsea in the kitchen.
