Chelsea walked out of the café, no longer in the mood for shopping.
After all, her credit card was declined.
Standing in front of the mall, Chelsea made a call to Gisselle. Soon after, Gisselle drove over to pick Chelsea up.
"You won't mind if I crash at your place for a few days, right?" Chelsea got into the car and looked at Gisselle.
"Of course not, sweetie. If you don't mind my humble home," Gisselle said with a grin.
"The villa will soon not be my home." Chelsea shrugged.
"What do you mean?" Gisselle asked while driving her car.
"I'm going to divorce Russell," Chelsea said calmly.
"What?"
Gisselle exclaimed and pulled over.
"We are not going home now. I'll take you to eat and you'll tell me about everything!" Gisselle pulled Chelsea out of the car with a gossiping look on her face.
Chelsea shook her head. Gisselle was grabbing her arm, so she had no choice but to walk with her.
They walked into a restaurant.
Gisselle quickly ordered some food, and the second the waiter left, she asked, "Tell me now. Why do you suddenly want to divorce him?"
Chelsea did not answer Gisselle's question right away.
She took a sip of juice and said, "I saw the news on TV yesterday about Yamilet and a mysterious man enjoying themselves at the theme park."
"Yeah, so?" Gisselle spread her hands, expecting me to elaborate.
"That mysterious man is Russell."
"What?" Gisselle's eyes widened.
Chelsea smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. You know about his relationship with Yamilet, don't you?"
Gisselle ginned awkwardly. "That was a long time ago. He is a married man now. How come he is still not done with her? And you were sick yesterday! What a jerk! I can't believe he was out with another woman when you were sick at home!"
"Alright, stop. I'm feeling bad enough about my situation." Chelsea shook her head.
The waiter brought their burgers and salads.
Gisselle jabbed hard at the slices of avocado on the plate with her fork. Apparently, they were Russell in her eyes now.
After a moment of silence, Gisselle raised her head and asked, "Then what are you going to do next?"
"I'm going to rent a place and start working on my script."
Gisselle said, "With that pretty face, you should be an actress. Back in college, your version of Juliet was the best in the drama club. Remember?"
Chelsea said with little confidence, "I don't know if I still have what it takes."
"You look perfect in front of the camera. You know that?" Gisselle said. She was not exaggerating it, since Chelsea was the campus belle in college back then.
At the nearby table, the two girls' conversation got Gisselle's attention.
"Check out the T*****r buzz!"
"Oh my God! Yamilet is actually a racist!"
"What? Damn! How's that possible? I liked her a lot."
"Well, not me. She kinda annoys me."
Gisselle and Chelsea glanced at each other and logged on to T*****r at the same time.
The trending topic on T*****r right now was a video about Yamilet.
In the video, Yamilet was having a great time in the theme park. When she was about to experience one of the rides, a female staff was worried that Yamilet's dress might get sucked into the machine, so she lifted the hem of her long dress.
Out of everyone's expectations, Yamilet said in a disgusted tone, "Get your black hands off my dress! You'll ruin it!"
The female staff looked at Yamilet in shock, and then she covered her face and left the scene right away.
Most people were criticizing Yamilet in the discussion surrounding the topic. Some thought she was too rude to the service staff. Others pointed out that Yamilet was somehow a racist.
For a moment, T*****r was ablaze with criticism of Yamilet.
"Is this the woman Russell is obsessed with?" Gisselle scoffed as she put down her phone.
"Let's go home." Chelsea finished her juice and stood up with her bag. "We shouldn't waste our time on a fool."
"That's the spirit!" Gisselle stood up as well.
Just as the two walked out of the restaurant, Chelsea's phone rang.
It was Winston. He said, "Mrs. Murillo, regarding the divorce papers, Mr. Murillo believes that the reason for the divorce needs to be amended."
Chelsea snorted coldly and asked, "Oh, I see. What does he suggest?"
Winston stayed silent for a while and then continued tentatively, "How about... You cheated on him."
"That's creative. Did he lose his mind?" Chelsea almost laughed out loud.
Winston lowered his voice, "Mr. Murillo just got a call from a man who said he paid for your bill and wanted to buy you a drink."
Chelsea was stunned for a second, and then she realized that it must be Vincent, the waiter from the café.
She smiled and said, "The gentleman was doing Russell a favor. Russell would be laughed at if his wife couldn't even pay for a coffee mug."
Then, she hung up the phone directly.
Winston took the phone away and looked at Russell with evident embarrassment.
"Mr. Murillo..."
Russell was silent for a moment with a cold face. Then he said, "Tell her that she ruined my Armani suit, and she needs to come back to pay for it."
The Armani suit on Russell was obviously brand new, yet Winston had no choice but to call Chelsea.
But Chelsea had enough of his harassment.
She said coldly, "Now, tell me what the hell he is up to?"
Russell had no idea that Chelsea was nearby.He looked at Joselyn and said, "Yamilet is different. Otherwise, I don't care who I marry since they are all the same to me. Chelsea comes from a plain family, so it's easy for me to deal with her. I just need to buy her something nice from time to time."Chelsea was shocked at his words.She thought, 'Is this why you gave me that watch today?'Chelsea looked up and met Joselyn's eyes. Joselyn looked both content and aggressive.But Chelsea didn't have the courage to return to her seat at this moment and she chose to run away.Chelsea walked quickly to the bathroom, closed the door, and leaned against it.She didn't know why her heart kept throbbing.She tried not to cry.Russell's words echoed in her ears.She only realized now that Russell didn't choose her because she was special. He just thought she was a woman who had never seen the world, and she was easy to control.She stayed outside for more than ten minutes to collect herself.She
Chelsea's temple twitched violently.If not for the fact that she had a request for Russell today, she would have kicked him out of the car right now!Chelsea thought, "All he knows is saying things to annoy me!I will just think that it is a puppy barking!"Chelsea comforted herself. She ignored Russell beside her and sent the edited text to Winston. She told him, "You can go to the shop called Haven Perfumery on Servien Street and buy those spices. They have a variety of spices in their shop. They can prepare the spices you need for you in one go.""Okay, thank you, Mrs. Murillo."Russell was a little bored without receiving Chelsea's response, and then he did not speak again.After about twenty minutes, they arrived at the appointed restaurant.When Chelsea was about to get out of the car, Russell suddenly grabbed her wrist. She subconsciously wanted to pull it back."Don't move!"Russell was very strong, so Chelsea could not move at all. Just as she was about to ask him why, she s
The sudden stop of the call made Russell frown."Russell?" Yamilet called him again.Russell looked up and glanced at her indifferently. He put away the phone and said coldly, "What's it?"Yamilet handed him an exquisitely packaged box and said in a low and somewhat embarrassed voice, "I had nothing to do at home, so I made some pastries for you.""That's it?" Russell did not move and looked up at her.Yamilet felt nervous. She clenched the box tightly and said in a low voice, "No. I want to ask about my work."Russell said faintly, "Don't worry about the things on the Internet. Leave your Twitter to your agent. In a few days, someone from Leayon Entertainment will come to you to sign the contract. When the time comes, cooperate with the propaganda."Yamilet was delighted.She recommended herself to Broderick a few times to dub "Legend", but Broderick refused with just a few words. She had been angry for a long time.It was not that she liked to dub the game, but she did not want to l
Nathan's words drove a sharp nail into Chelsea's broken heart.Chelsea felt her heart gradually turn cold.Chelsea said coldly, "Do you really think Russell will like her? You are a regular at those high-end events as well. Don't you know what those daughters of rich families are like?"Nathan snorted and said, "For the sake of the argument, let's say that you know Russell well. Then tell me. You've been married for years. Why is he still cold to you?""Dad, really? You don't know the answer? Isn't all this the result of your insatiable greed?" Chelsea sneered."Enough! How dare you talk to me like that? For God's sake, I'm your father!" Nathan flew into a rage out of humiliation.Chelsea heard the sound of glass shattering coming from the phone."If you still want to see Russell at your event, you'd better not let Hayley stay here anymore. Otherwise, if Russell rejects your request, don't take it out on me," Chelsea said nonchalantly.After she finished speaking, she tossed the phone
Broderick's words made Russell's anger vanish at once.Russell seldom doubted himself, but right at this moment, he was worried, because he wasn't sure Chelsea had heard their conversation.Russell was in no mood to stay, and he left Broderick's company with a heavy heart.After seeing Russell off, Broderick returned to the company and saw Bryce walking toward him.Broderick looked around and said, "Bryce, there's been a change in the female supporting role.""Come again? I've signed the contract already. Do you have any idea how much the liquidated damages are?" Bryce stared at Broderick as if he had heard some joke.Broderick pushed Bryce into a conference room.Broderick closed the door and said, "Yes, of course I do. Someone will pay for it and might even invest more.""In exchange for what?" Bryce asked with a frown."Make Yamilet the female supporting role," Broderick shrugged and said."But, she can't do it!" Bryce said loudly."My hands are tied. The investor said he would pul
"Seriously? She knows nothing about acting, and you're choosing her over me? You're wasting my time! Don't ever call me again!"The director's words shocked everyone. The actress was the first to come back to her senses. She said angrily and left with her assistant."Are you serious about it?" Chelsea watched the actress leave and found it hard to believe."I'm Bryce," the director smiled and said. "Of course, I'm serious.""Maybe you should give it a second thought. I don't really want to be an actress..." Chelsea wanted to turn Bryce down."An actress makes a lot more money than a scriptwriter," Bryce grinned and interrupted Chelsea."Well, I'll think about it then," Chelsea immediately said.Chelsea was tempted because she needed the money now.Bryce immediately called Ruth, an intern, and asked her to prepare the contract. Then he said to Chelsea, "Let's talk in my office."Ruth ran to the front desk as soon as she left Bryce's office."You know what? The new actress is the movie'
