Chapter 9


    Chapter: 9


    He had been in the business world for so many years, and this was the first time that he had been humiliated like this in public.


    Chelsea was the first person to dare embarrass him in front of his peers and business partners.


    He had been with Chelsea for three years, but he never knew that she could be this brutally assertive. Also, he didn’t expect that


    he would find her so dazzling when she was all dolled up.


    Everyone thought that Edmund would be furious and cancel the lively anniversary party right then and there. However, he simply


    collected himself, ordered the celebration to continue, and then went off the stage.


    Everyone admired him. He had excellent emotional control. Even though his wife just humiliated him in apany event, he still


    acted Like he wasn’t shaken at all.


    At the same time, everyone thought that Mrs. Nelson was magnificent and impressive. After Edmund returned to his seat, Diane


    asked him with concern, “Are you okay?”


    Edmund pressed his lips together and didn’t say anything. Diane angrilymented, “That was very rude of Chelsea. How could


    she make trouble on such an asion? Didn''t she care at all about your dignity and your image?”


    Diane was so happy like a Little girl who had just been given a new doll. She moved closer to Edmund.


    This was a pleasant surprise for her. She didn’t expect that Chelsea would make trouble and also ask for a divorce.


    Utmost regret had been eating Diane up whenever she remembered breaking up with Edmund three years ago. She had thought


    he would take out time to cool off and thene to beg for her love. But to her dismay, he slept with Chelsea and married her.


    It was as if her whole world came crashing down when she heard the news at that time. She was livid, but she still loved


    Edmund. She kept instigating Sonya Nelson, Edmund''s younger sister to sow seeds of discord between Edmund and Chelsea.


    Sonya was Diane’s best friend, so she naturally took Diane’s side. She also didn’t Like Chelsea one bit.


    Diane and Edmund went way back. Since she had been involved with him for so many years, she knew that he was a proud man


    who detested embarrassment. She was certain that they would get a divorce after this.


    For three whole years, Diane had tried to break their marriage with different ploys that proved abortive. Now, it was as if God had


    finally granted her wish. Her lover was about to be freed from the shackle of marriage to Chelsea.


    Zuri was already at the foot of the stage by the time Chelsea was done. She helped her through the crowd to the car and they


    left.


    Chelsea copsed into her seat and breathed heavily as soon as she got into the car. She had been a mess of nervous


    butterflies on stage. It took a great deal of willpower for her not to shrink back and run away. But in the end, she seeded in


    embarrassing Edmund in public.


    “Dearie, you were so cool back there,” Zuri said excitedly, holding her arm.


    “Really?” Chelsea asked weakly.


    She didn’t expect to act cool on stage. What she wanted was to sessfully provoke Edmund so he could grant her a divorce


    without hesitation. She went up there to battle, not to show her cool side.


    “Yes, you were. See, | recorded everything.” Zuri took out her phone and yed the video.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    Chelsea was speechless as she watched the video.


    Zuri let out an evil Laugh. “Ha-ha-ha! Look at Edmund''s face. He was so embarrassed. Serves him right. I’m sure this was his


    first time getting this embarrassed. Great job, Chelsea!”


    A pang of pain tugged at Chelsea’s heart when her eyes fell on Edmund’s face in the video. For some reason, she felt pity for


    him.


    This was probably thest time she was going to look Edmund dead in the eye. Once the divorce was finalized, she would treat


    him like a total stranger.
