Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 153

Chapter 153

Loud yells from Diane echoed in the living room for several minutes. They were accompanied by theshattering sound of antiques and glassware. When Diane finally got tired, she fell to the floor feebly andcontinued to wail.

She was a mess now. Any outsider who saw her in this state would replace it hard to believe that she wasthe beautiful popular actress who was always in the news.

Flora also sat on the floor and cried. "Diane, why do you want to kill yourself because of Edmund? Youare my source of joy. If you die, I'll join you immediately. I can't live without you."

Philip suffered a headache as he watched them crying hard. Rubbing his temples, he had no choicebut to compromise. "Well, since you want Edmund so badly, I will replace a way to make him marry you.Trust me, okay?"

Diane looked up at her father with teary eyes. Seeing that he was serious, she gradually stoppedcrying. Flora wiped her tears. She stood up and helped her daughter up.

Diane went back to her room in a daze. She lay on the bed and covered her head with the quilt.

The major reason why she threw a tantrum was that she knew her father was mad at Edmund now.

It was obvious that Philip didn't want her to marry Edmund anymore.

Having known that her father was a domineering man who completely hated those who went againsthim, she decided to make a fuss and threaten to commit suicide. It was the only way she could get himto do her bidding.

Diane was utterly obsessed with Edmund. She wasn't going to allow another woman to have him. Thenumerous successful men had nothing on Edmund.

His class and perfection was the only reason why she dumped her foreign boyfriend and came backhome in the first place.

Diane always knew what she wanted. The only time she valued love was when she was still a younggirl. After she turned twenty-five years old, she reasoned that love wasn't all there was. She began tothink of marriage.

Her biggest dream was to marry a powerful and wealthy man.

Edmund fit into that category well. In fact, he was more than that. He was also handsome, well-built,and properly behaved.

Diane didn't want such a man to be snatched from her again. Most especially, not by Chelsea.

In the living room, Flora anxiously asked her husband, "What do we do now?"

Philip yanked off his tie and threw it on the sofa. "Are you really asking me that question? What elsecan I do? This matter wouldn't have gotten this worse if you hadn't connived with her just now."

Flora's eyes turned red. "How did I connive with her? Did you expect me not to break down after shethreatened to take her own life? She's our only daughter. We can't just fold our arms and do nothingwhen we can actually help. Do something, Philip!"

In the face of his wife's reprimand, Philip plopped down on the sofa. He kept silent for a long timebefore saying, "I'll call Jaime. He has to knock some senses into his son. If he fails, he shouldn't blameme when I expose his dirty secrets to the public. I'm sure by that time, the Nelson Group would bedamaged. Edmund would finally realize that I'm not a man to be trifled with. There's no way he wouldn'tcompromise."

Flora nodded in agreement and sat beside Philip. They were on a quest to make sure that theirdaughter got married into the Nelson family. They didn't even stop to think that Diane would beunhappy if they forced her on Edmund.

There was a high chance that they would get divorced after Diane suffered at Edmund's hands, just likehis ex-wife. But her parents didn't think of that at all.

A meeting was held in the Nelson Group early the next morning.

Edmund sat at the head of the table with his fingers intertwined. His expression was solemn andintimidating.

Fay and Leo were seated at his sides. In their neat and well-ironed clothes, they looked likeprofessional elites.

One of the directors looked at Edmund and asked, "Mr. Nelson, I heard that Chelsea, the woman whohas been the center of gossip on social media recently, is actually the scriptwriter writing the script forthe company's play, 'The Crown'. Is that true?"

"Yes," Edmund replied simply.

With a hint of worry, the director went on to say, "I think it's rather inappropriate for a scriptwriter who isworking on our project to be involved in such a messy scandal."
