Capítulo 192
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 askingthat question? What else can | 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 | connive with her? Did you expectnot to break down after she threatened to take her own life? She’s our only daughter. We can’t just fold our arms and do nothing when 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 tbefore saying, “I'll call Jaime. He has to knock ssenses into his son. If he fails, he shouldn’t blme when | expose his dirty secrets to the public. I’m sure by that time, the Nelson Group would be damaged. Edmund would finally realize that I’m not a man to be trifled with. There’s no way he wouldn’t compromise.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFlora nodded in agreement and sat beside Philip. They were on a quest to make sure that their daughter got married into the Nelson family. They didn’t even stop to think that Diane would be unhappy if they forced her on Edmund.
There was a high chance that they would get divorced after Diane suffered at Edmund’s hands, just like his 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 and intimidating. Fay and Leo were seated at his sides. In their neat and well—ironed clothes, they Looked like professional elites.
One of the directors looked at Edmund and asked, “Mr. Nelson, | heard that Chelsea, the woman who has been the center of gossip on social media recently, is actually the scriptwriter writing the script for the 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 is working on our project to be involved in such a messy scandal.”
Edmund Looked at the director expressionlessly. As soon as the director opened his mouth, Edmund knew what he intended to say.
“Although this matter has finally been resolved and Chelsea’s image has been restored, we still can’t be sure that it won’t happen again.”
Edmund fixed his gaze on him and replied flatly, “It won’t happen again.”
The director still insisted, “The filming of The Crown is a big-budget production. The loss will be massive if another batch of Chelsea's dirty Laundry gets tossed out in the open.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEdmund didn’t say a word, but he was already in a foul mood.
Still, the director continued, “Mr. Nelson, you know very well that this play has already cost us a lot of energy and money since we began working on it. Chelsea may not be one of the actresses in the play, but she’s still involved as the scriptwriter. If she gets gossiped about again, she will put the entire production at risk. If something happens to her, the project will be postponed, and we will Lose tand money again. | suggest we get a new scriptwriter.”
Edmund didn’t interrupt the director the whole time. He just let him talk and talk.
After he finished speaking, Edmund asked pointedly, “How do you know that Chelsea is the scriptwriter for The Crown?”
First of all, although sinformation on Chelsea had been exposed on the Internet, her role as The Crown's scriptwriter hadn't been made public.
Second, this director wasn’t involved in the Nelson Group’s film and television department. Also, besides The Crown, the Nelson Group had many film and television projects in progress. Why did he only focus on The Crown?
Someone must've incited him to get Chelsea replaced as The Crown’s scriptwriter. What other reason could he have?
