Edmund glanced at the two but chose to remain silent.
The two of them remained silent as well. They all knew that Edmund seldom expressed his true
emotions. He was the sort of man who kept his feelings to himself.
Yusuf commented on Edmund's character in his mind. He appreciated how calm he was. But the truth
was, inside his heart, thunder was rolling. He was simply good at pretending.
Before the dinner was over, Alena called Edmund.
Edmund hadn't answered Alena's phone call the whole day. She had rung him up several times.
Knowing she would find this rude, he chose to answer it now.
Before he could ask her what it was about, she exclaimed, "Edmund, there is a charity dinner this
weekend."
At the mention of an event, a frown creased Edmund's forehead. "I can't attend the party. I am quite
busy at present."
Edmund knew the plan that was stirring in Alena's mind. She definitely wanted him to take Diana as his
female companion and then strengthen his connection with her!
Since he had made his mind clear to Philip, he saw no reason to agree to such an arrangement.
Alena was shocked to hear this. After a short pause, she went on, "I would like you to take Sonya to
the party so that she can meet some outstanding men."
Edmund wasn't buying this lie. "Is that so?" he asked with a tinge of mockery.
Alena sighed again and said, "Didn't you say that she was thoughtless and always made trouble? I
think it would be best for her to find someone suitable to marry rather than suffer in abroad."
Edmund was amused by his mother's words.
Alena was suggesting he take Sonya to the party. If he agreed, the person who would go with him
would be Diane, not Sonya. He knew this for a fact.
Besides, his mother did everything she could to stop Sonya from going abroad. She even intended to
find a match for Sonya in Vertoak.
But Sonya had a bad reputation in the city. People knew she changed her boyfriend as frequently as
she changed her clothes. No decent man would volunteer to marry her.
Sonya and Alena were quite picky and wouldn't settle for a man from an ordinary family.
So, it wouldn't be easy to get Sonya married.
Edmund took a deep breath and said calmly, "Mom, I have to disagree here. I think you have more
chances of finding an excellent man for Sonya than I do. You should take up the responsibility of
Sonya's marriage. I am pretty sure I don't have a suitable candidate for her."
In short, he had kindly rejected to take Sonya with him.
Truth be told, the men he knew had outstanding disposition. None of them deserved to be punished to
marry Sonya!
Before his mother could argue, he said, "I'm still having dinner with my friends. Talk to you later."
After Edmund hung up the phone, Yusuf asked, "Is the charity dinner your mother mentioned the one of
the film association? If that's the one, I am pretty sure Chelsea will be there."
Edmund, who hadn't thought of this, was rendered speechless.
Chris quickly echoed his opinion, "I think so too. Since she is a scriptwriter, she will definitely attend
such an event."
Edmund couldn't help as some negative thoughts crawled to his head. If Chelsea was going, she would
definitely go as Luka's female companion.
Yusuf continued, "To be honest, Chelsea looks amazing after she takes an effort to dress up."
Edmund gave him an icy glare. At the mention of this, he remembered the anniversary party of the
Nelson Group.
The party was simply his biggest nightmare.
