Chapter 152
Diane cried her eyes out for a long time. She suddenly looked up and shouted, "This is all Chelsea's fault?"
Flora's eyes narrowed at this moment. She looked at her daughter and asked, "Are you speaking of Edmund's ex-wife? What does she have to do with this? They got divorced over a year ago, didn't they?"
"That's beside the point, Mom. They got divorced, but Chelsea is still hanging around with Edmund. She even got a job in an entertainment company, so she's currently working on Edmund's project," Diane said after gritting her teeth.
Flora frowned and moved close to her daughter. "Did she seduce Edmund again?"
"Yes, that slut is trying everything to get him back! They often attend the same meetings, so she tries to get close to him. Not only that. She made him help her a lot recently," Diane responded, her voice raspy.
"She might be seducing him, but Edmund doesn't have any feelings for her, does he? I don't think he does. Otherwise, he wouldn't have divorced her." Flora didn't see Chelsea as a threat to her daughter's happiness.
She felt that Chelsea wasn't Edmund's spec and that there was no way they could get back together.
She was aware that Edmund never loved Chelsea even though he married her. Details of how he treated her like a piece of rag had reached her many times in the past.
In her opinion, it was impossible for Edmund to fall for her now since he wasn't that cheap.
"Mom, listen to me. My intuition tells me Edmund is dumping me because of Chelsea. I can feel it in my gut!" Diane believed that her instincts could never deceive her. There was no one else she could point at as the culprit now.
Despite her daughter's insistence, Flora still didn't believe it. "Don't get worked up over Chelsea. Edmund kicked her out of his life and home. What can she do now? Chin up, dearie. Take your mind off that woman. Now, you need to think of a way to repair your relationship with Edmund."
"Repair what? Are there no other men in Vertoak? Why should Diane continue to throw herself on someone who doesn't want her? Our daughter is worth more than hundreds of women put together. She shouldn't beg for any man's love!" Philip suddenly roared.
He was pissed off by Edmund's arrogance today.
He used to think Edmund held him in high esteem. But he was shocked to learn that the young lad had no respect for him. Nothing would make him give his daughter's hand out in marriage to Edmund after what happened.
His ego was bruised today. It didn't matter that his daughter loved Edmund. He wasn't going to sit back and watch her beg that man.
Flora frowned and turned to her husband. "There are many men in Vertoak, but none of them is better than Edmund. Why don't you want her to fix their relationship? After all, we were the ones that asked her to date him on the basis that he had a bright future."
Philip was rendered speechless by his wife's words. While Diane was studying abroad, she had a serious boyfriend.
Her parents had been watching Edmund for a long time. They previously didn't think highly of him. But after he became the president of the Nelson Group and took it to greater heights, their opinions changed.
They labeled him as the best son-in-law candidate. Soon, they discussed it with Diane and she agreed without hesitation. The next day, she broke up with her boyfriend and returned home.
"I don't care about other men! It's Edmund I want. I must marry him!" Diane declared at the top of her lungs. She stood up and began to run toward the door.
Flora stood up and ran after her immediately. "Diane! Stop! Where are you off to?"
"I need to go out to clear my head. Leave me alone!" Diane yelled without stopping or looking back.
Flora grabbed her hand and tried to pull her back. "You are a mess now. It's dangerous to go out in this state. Stay at home."
Diane got rid of her mother's grip. She screamed hysterically and knocked the flower vase from the cabinet to the floor. "If I don't get married to him, I will kill myself!"
Like a mad woman, Diane yanked her hair. She rushed to the other side of the living room. In a trice, she yanked off the valuable paintings Philip had collected and smashed them on the floor.
