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 collapsed 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 succeeded 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 successfully 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 played the video.
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.
