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 andposed response, Edmund was trying to show hispanion 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 ining to him!


    Philip squinted his eyes under the gold-rimmed sses but said nothing. Then he raised his ss 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.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    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 saidzily.


    He then continued, “I just found out that Philip has a good rtionship 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, ys, 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, thepany would suffer huge Losses.


    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 thepany, 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 theziest and most ipetent one.


    He was nothing like Ethan, who was capable and decisive. He was sockadaisical he could only make ordinary decisions that


    barely took thepany 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 thepany, it regained its vitality and developed


    rapidly.


    Confident in his ability, Edmund said, “Philip had better tread carefully. If he chooses to y dirty tricks, he should be ready to


    lose all his backers in no time.”


    “Oh, do you n to wreak havoc on him?” Yusuf eximed.


    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 nce at Philip’s luxury car. A hint of cruelty


    shed 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.”
