Capítulo 184

Besides, from what she was seeing, Chelsea and Zuri wouldn't believe her. Since the assistant director’s accident took place, Edmund hadn't spoken to Diane till date.

Diane had gone to the Nelson Group to look for him many times, but Edmund always refused to see her and sent his employees to tell her that he was not at work.

When she couldn't reach him, Diane tried getting to Fay and Leo, but they were both Edmund's confidants, so they answered Diane as per Edmund’s instructions.

Since Diane’s father had invited Edmund to dinner tonight, Fay thought that Edmund would use the opportunity to tell her father that he wouldn’t marry Diane.

Fay glanced stealthily at Chelsea who was drinking soup as though she hadn’t heard what she said. She really hoped that when Edmund pushed Diane out of his life, Chelsea would come around and give him another chance.

Edmund was actually having dinner with Philip Stevenson, Diane’s father at that time. The two of them were at a high-end exclusive Japanese restaurant.NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Philip took a sip of the exquisite wine that had been served and Looked at Edmund with a kind smile. “How have you been doing recently, Edmund? Diane tells me that you two haven't seen each other for days.”

Although Philip was annoyed with Edmund's indifference when it came to Diane, he couldn’t let it show. He didn’t want to lose such a powerful potential son-in-law because of something like that.

Aware of the meaning behind Philip’s questions, Edmund resisted the urge to roll his eyes. He lowered his eyes to hide annoyance from the older man.

“I've been busy.” His tone was bland but his words were enough to tell that he wasn’t explaining himself any further.

Philip placed down the glass in his hand and glanced at Edmund. He went on calmly, “It’s good for the young to be busy while they still have time. | will explain it to Diane later. At your age, you should probably focus on your career. Only when you have a successful career can you give your loved one a better life, right?”

Edmund also took a sip of the wine in his glass but did not respond. He couldn’t care enough to do it.

Philip then sighed, “But Diane is not young anymore. And she is my precious only daughter. | hope that she can get married as soon as possible and finally settle down. That is every father’s wish.”

Edmund placed down his glass and looked up at Philip with eyes that exuded only indifference.

Philip was also an important figure in Vertoak. The foreign bank he worked in was among the top ones in the financial industry, and many people often tried to be on his good side.

Moreover, Philip had a special connection to the Nelson family. One that involved a huge stain in their lives.

When Jaime had an affair with another woman many years ago, it was Philip who had helped the Nelson family settle it as quietly as possible.

As for what had happened at that time, Edmund wasn’t sure of the details.

He had only just been of age and had been studying abroad, oblivious to what was going on in the family.

The only thing he knew was that Jaime wanted to divorce his mother for that other woman. And in the end, Jaime left the Nelson family and was now Living abroad.

Although Edmund's parents still hadn’t gotten a divorce, they had no feelings whatsoever for each other, except maybe bitterness and hatred.

In the beginning, Edmund hadn’t known about the connection between Philip and the Nelson family. It was only after he was together with Diane, that Alena told him about it.

And he had met Diane after he took over the Nelson Group. She had just sat next to him at one fancy charity event. When the dinner ended and they were about to leave, the shoulder strap of Diane’s dress suddenly broke. And Edmund, being a gentleman, took off his suit jacket to help her out. Then one thing led to another and the two of them ended up in a relationship.

Later he took Diane home. That was when Alena told him that Philip had once helped the Nelson family.
