Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 149

Chapter 149

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, I 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.

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."

Yusuf chuckled. "You are right. They shouldn't be interfering in such important matters when they aren't going to be around for long. They need to be put in their place!"

Yusuf loathed elderly people who always wanted to call the shots on matters that concerned the younger generation. They even wanted to arrange their marriage.

He found their superiority complex so annoying.

Yusuf could relate to what his friend was going through because his elders were also interfering in his personal affairs at the moment.

He said again, "I'm sure you didn't have much to eat. Would you like to have dinner with me?"

"No!" Edmund refused without stopping to think.

Yusuf snorted. "Why didn't you spare a second to think about it? Oh, I get it. You are going to see Chelsea, aren't you?"

"Bye!" Edmund uttered simply and hung up the phone. He then got into his car and drove away.

His next step was dependent on what Philip would do after today.

If the Stevenson family could accept in good faith that he wanted to end things with Diane, the Nelson family would continue being friends with them.

But if they insisted that he marry their daughter, he didn't mind severing all ties with them.

He was ready to be up against anything that Philip would do in the future to wreck him. He didn't mind

destroying him and his numerous backers. Over his dead body would he allow anyone to destroy what he had worked for over the years.
