Chapter 180Diane's father, Philip, had formed amazing connections over the years. Plus his great wealth,
embarrassing Chelsea would be too easy for Diane.
Edmund would do anything to protect her.
But at the end of the day, he was only one person. He couldn't be with her at all times!
Edmund probably thought his power would let him defend Chelsea.
But Philip was no less.
Philip contemplated over the matter for a while and finally said, "I won't ask you what your plans are.
However, I suggest you not show yourself up anytime soon. You can make a great comeback once the
rumors have faded."
Diane felt a sense of discontent. "Dad!" she whined.
Waiting was the last thing she wanted to do but Philip was insisting that she should wait.
Seeing his daughter was annoyed, Philip continued, "Since things have turned out like this, you can't
continue to stay in the Nelson Group. You can find a lawyer to negotiate with them later. Terminating
the contract with them is the best thing you can do."
After a short pause, he went on, "I'll find someone to invest in you. You can set up a film and television
company and then outdo Nelson Group and Peak Entertainment. It won't be a big deal." Philip wasn't going to consider Edmund a threat. Although Edmund's current development was
considered as unbeatable by some, Philip had been in the financial circle and the upper class for more
than half his life. A young man like Edmund wouldn't suppress him.
Diane had been dissatisfied with Philip's proposal at the beginning, but when she heard that Philip was
going to invest in establishing a film and television company for her, she was beyond excited. "Really,
dad? Are you going to help me set up a company?"
With the emergence of this new company, her status would increase a lot, no doubt.
Moreover, she could deal with Chelsea and Edmund just the way she wanted. Justice would be served!
Philip nodded his head and said, "My daughter shouldn't have to depend on others. I kept this idea
from you because I thought you would get an opportunity to be close to Edmund if you worked in the
Nelson Group."
Diane's face broke into a bright smile. "That's great, Dad. Thank you!"
Philip then said, "Well, it's getting quite late. Go to bed. Be discreet in what you do. You have plenty of
time to sit alone and devise a plan on how to run a company."
"Okay." Diane felt triumphant at this new knowledge. She could finally stand eye to eye with her
enemies.
She was already dreaming about getting even with Chelsea and Edmund. Chelsea was just an insignificant scriptwriter. Diane would use her power and make sure none of her
plays would be accepted!

The next morning, it was around lunch time. Chelsea received a call from Fay.
"Have you had lunch?" Fay asked.
Chelsea frowned and said with exhaustion, "I haven't eaten yet. I've been busy writing the draft."
Fay, who had anticipated this answer, said, "Well, I'll buy you something to eat. I heard from Mr. Nelson
that your foot was injured. I am coming to see you."
Chelsea told her friend she shouldn't bother herself, but Fay insisted on coming to see her. In the end,
she agreed.
Chelsea hadn't had lunch after all.
Zuri left for work as soon as she got up, saying that she had an important shooting task.
Chelsea, on the other hand, had planned to order takeout after she finished writing, but lost track of
time.
Fay asked, "Didn't Mr. Pierce come to see you?"
Chelsea said truthfully, "His mother is sick. He went back to his hometown." After hanging up the phone, Fay went to Edmund's office and reported, "Chelsea hasn't eaten yet. I'll
take the food you ordered and give it to her."
Edmund nodded.
Fay added, "Chelsea said that Mr. Pierce's mother was sick, so he went back to his hometown. I think it
would be nice if you personally paid her a visit with dinner tonight."
As soon as Fay arrived at work in the morning, Edmund had asked her to book a delicious lunch from
the restaurant which was under the leadership of Yusuf. He then told her to take it to Chelsea at noon.
novelbinFay figured that if Luka didn't come back in the next few days, Edmund could go to see Chelsea, using
food as an excuse.
Fay's words made Edmund smile. Luka had left the place right in time. Otherwise, that guy would have
taken the trouble to cook for her! It irked him to watch Luka give all his attention to Chelsea.
Irritated by Luka and his romantic ways, Edmund was almost considering whether to ask Yusuf to find a
chef to teach him cooking.
