Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart
Chapter 179

Chapter 179

The backlash online almost drove Diane crazy that night.

Her life was a mess. Edmund had broken up with her. She was yet to come to terms with it whennetizens began to tear her to pieces on the Internet. Diane's heart ached severely. The pain squeezedout the air in her lungs as she read the insulting comments.

As the spoiled child of rich parents, no one had ever scolded her, let alone hurl insults at her.

Diane had it all. She was wealthy, beautiful, and successful. People worshipped the ground that shewalked on. Now that they were attacking her, it pierced her soul.

In the beginning, they accused her of hyping up her relationship with Edmund. But after a Twitter usertweeted that she was a homewrecker, everyone turned against her.

Diane screamed, "How am I a mistress and homewrecker?

That is Chelsea!

She had climbed into Edmund's bed while we were taking a break from each other.

If Chelsea hadn't shown up, I wouldn't be in this situation now. Edmund had been head over heels inlove with me at that time. I thought he would still take me back no matter how long I took.

Everything changed when Chelsea came into the picture. She thwarted my plan!"

Diane was so delusional that she forgot an important detail; she had broken up with Edmund, not takena break from him when Chelsea climbed into Edmund's bed.

Another important detail she failed to acknowledge was that Chelsea was legally Edmund's wife, not aside chick at that time.

The fault was on Diane even if she didn't want to admit it. She was the one who threw herself at amarried man. This made her the mistress, so the netizens who were dragging her were not wrong.

Diane bawled her eyes out. Philip gritted his teeth and said furiously, "Since he is so ungrateful, I will nolonger have mercy on him. The battle line is drawn!"

Philip had stalled teaching Edmund a lesson because he thought that the latter would come to hissenses soon. But now that he broke up with Diane tonight, Philip was so livid that he didn't intend to lethim go.

Flora's heart broke when she saw her daughter crying like this.

Tears welled up in her eyes. She embraced Diane and said to her husband, "Honey, I totally agree withyou. We must show that bastard that no one could hurt our precious daughter and go scot-free. Butthat should come after we deal with the slanderous rumor that is spreading online."

Philip said crossly, "I'll ask someone to delete the posts."

The posts were taken down after he made a few calls. However, this didn't stop the rumors fromspreading. Diane's reputation was getting destroyed.

Deleting the posts was a wrong move. Another uproar erupted on Twitter once it was done.

One of the tweets read, "Gosh! Money is indeed everything. Look at how the posts were taken downwith the speed of lightning!"

Another tweet read, "I'm so shocked. Influence and wealth really rule the world.

Diane must be filled with guilt now. Deleting the posts shows that she did all that she was accused of.What a bitch!"

Philip suffered a migraine when he saw that his daughter was getting dragged again. He regrettedpulling the strings to delete the posts. It turned out that Diane would always be wrong in the eyes of thepublic no matter what.

Flora suggested helplessly, "Diane, how about you go abroad like Sonya?"

The backlash against the Stevenson family was getting out of hand. Flora feared that Diane might beattacked for a long time, so she felt sending her abroad was the best decision.

Diane shook her head vigorously. After biting her lower lip hard, she uttered resentfully, "No, I won't runaway! I will stay back and fight all my enemies. Why should I run like a coward? Since they made mesuffer, I will make their lives a living hell. They must pay!"

This decision didn't go down well with Flora. She said persuasively, "Let it go, Diane. Edmund doesn'tdeserve you. You need to move on since he dumped you. Your father and I will deal with him while youlive a good life abroad."

Flora didn't want Diane to risk her life just because she wanted to get back at Edmund and the others.She wanted her daughter to move on even though she loathed Edmund too.

She believed that going abroad would give Diane a fresh start. After all, Edmund wasn't the only man inthis world. Love might replace Diane if she put everything behind her, including that scum of a man.

At the thought of this, Flora continued, "Forget about that idiot. I'll help you replace another man. This onewould cherish you with his life!"

"Mom, stop it! Do you ever care my feelings?" Diane yelled at her.

Flora was taken aback by this. After sighing deeply, she said unhappily, "I'm your mother. Of course, Icare about you. But you felt nothing big when you broke up with your foreign boyfriend and came backto date Edmund back then, didn't you? Why now can't you move on from Edmund?"

Flora didn't think her daughter could be obsessed with a man. She and Philip had groomed her to seemen as stepping stones. Power and wealth were just as important to them as food. Love took thebackseat in their books.

At that time, Diane had immediately broken up with her foreign boyfriend and returned home when herparents told her to do so. Flora thought she was still that sensible. She was shocked to learn that Dianehad a different mind now.

Diane wiped her tears and said resolutely, "I don't want to stay back because I love Edmund. In fact, Ihate him now. The only reason why I want to stay back is to take revenge on him and Chelsea! Whydid Edmund choose her over me? I won't let it go!"

Diane didn't want to back down because she couldn't swallow her pride. She couldn't accept rejectionbecause she had gotten whatever she wanted since childhood.

She always did the dumping, not the other way around!

It was a slap in the face that Edmund dumped her when she badly wanted to marry him. To makethings worse, he did it because of Chelsea—a woman whom she felt wasn't worthy to stand side byside with her. What an insult!

Flora was so helpless. She could only keep mute and watch her daughter behave so stubbornly.

"What's your plan?" Philip asked all of a sudden.

Staring into space, Diane clenched her fists and uttered, "First, I have to make a comeback to theentertainment industry as soon as possible. Only when I am active in the circle can I teach Chelsea anunforgettable lesson!"
