Mr. Nelsonn Winning His Ex-wife’s Heart

Capítulo 186

Edmund's face darkened. It suddenly dawned on him that Philip was indeed angry at him.

The reason why Philip mentioned Edmund's father was to remind Edmund that the Nelson family owed him a big favor. If Edmund refused to marry Diane, it would make him an ungrateful brat before everyone’s eyes.

However, Edmund wasn’t the sort of man whose mind could be changed easily. “I think he will be very happy if you pay him a visit.”

By this calm and composed response, Edmund was trying to show his companion that he wasn’t threatened.

Philip had stopped Edmund's parents from getting divorced. Edmund would be more than happy to express his gratitude to Philip by giving him money. But asking him to marry Diana was stretching it a little too much!

Moreover, Edmund’s father was still alive, so Philip could personally ask him for a payback. There was no point in coming to him!

Philip squinted his eyes under the gold-rimmed glasses but said nothing. Then he raised his glass and drank in an elegant manner.

At this moment, Edmund’s phone rang, breaking the awkward silence. He looked at the caller ID and politely excused himself, “I'm sorry. | have a pressing matter to deal with, so I’m taking my leave now.”

Philip gave him an amiable smile, which didn’t quite reach his eyes, and said, “Go ahead with your work.” Edmund took his phone and left.

It was a call from Yusuf. Edmund was expecting it because he had ordered him to do so. He asked Yusuf to call him because he suspected that Philip was up to something since he suddenly invited him for dinner.

As soon as the line connected, Edmund said, “Thank you, pal.” “My pleasure,” Yusuf said lazily.

He then continued, “I just found out that Philip has a good relationship with the deputy mayor, who is in charge of the Ministry of Culture and Entertainment. Since he’s against you, | suspect that the Nelson Group's film and television business is going to have a bumpy ride in the future.”

The ministry headed by the deputy mayor issued approval to all entertainment projects-movies, plays, and even music. If any piece wasn’t approved, it can’t be released to the public. Philip was a cunning man. If he decided to pull some strings to the detriment of Nelson Group’s film and television industry, the company would suffer huge Losses.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Edmund knew that there was a high possibility Philip would do this. As he walked, he said coldly, “If he thinks he can do something to ruin the company, he’s in for a big disappointment. The Nelson Group of today is not the same one my father used to control. It doesn’t rely on anybody. Nothing will take it down now!”

Among the three generations of men in the Nelson family, Jaime was the laziest and most incompetent one.

He was nothing like Ethan, who was capable and decisive. He was so lackadaisical he could only make ordinary decisions that barely took the company to the next level.

What Jaime cared about the most was having sexual affairs with several women.

During his time as the president of the group, he resorted to making things much easier for himself. And that was why he befriended some people in exchange for the peace and interest of the Nelson Group. However, his tactic was detrimental to the company. It went downhill during his reign.

Edmund was the most capable man in the three generations. Not only was he as business-minded as Ethan, but he was also blessed with natural wisdom and great strategy. Shortly after he took over the company, it regained its vitality and developed rapidly.

Confident in his ability, Edmund said, “Philip had better tread carefully. If he chooses to play dirty tricks, he should be ready to lose all his backers in no time.”

“Oh, do you plan to wreak havoc on him?” Yusuf exclaimed. Edmund replied decisively, “Of course! I’m not Jesus Christ. It’s not my style to have mercy on my enemies.”

At this time, Edmund had arrived at the entrance of the restaurant. He took a glance at Philip’s luxury car. A hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes. “Old people need to take the backseat and do nothing. They have had their time. Now, the world should be run by the young ones.”
