Mr. Nelson Winning His Ex-wife's Heart

Chapter 80 They Didn’t Share The Same Values

When Diane got home, she turned her phone back on. Immediately, a call from Gerry came in. He asked her for ten million dollars.

Enraged, Diane hung up.

She wouldn't give him the money.

She wanted to drive Chelsea away, but she ended up having to pay such a massive amount of cash. She was so furious that she couldn't even think straight.

Thinking of Chelsea, Diane gnashed her teeth together.

It was Chelsea's fault that she landed in this stupid mess. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

What charm did that unremarkable woman have? How could she make Orlando stand up for her?

To Diane's surprise, Gerry and the assistant director came to her home that night.

"What are you doing here?" Diane was afraid that her neighbors would notice, so she hurriedly let her unexpected guests in.

"Our request is simple. Give us ten million dollars, and we won't disturb you anymore. Otherwise, we will go down and take you with us," Gerry said with a fierce look on his face.

"Calm down. Don't be angry," Diane appeased him, afraid that he would start a fight.

At this time, the front door swung open. It was Edmund.

When Diane saw Edmund, her face turned deathly pale in an instant. She regretted forgetting to lock the door just now.

Edmund looked calm, as if he had expected what he had walked in on.

He stood in the living room and flashed Diane an icy stare. "Tell me what's going on."

Diane instantly descended into panic and completely lost the ability to think. She collapsed onto the sofa and began sobbing helplessly.

She remembered that every time she cried before, Edmund's heart would soften.

"Mr. Nelson, Miss Stevenson is clearly upset. Please don't push her," Gerry said, standing between Edmund and Diane to mediate the dispute. After all, nobody in the room would dare to offend Edmund.

Edmund turned his head to Gerry and narrowed his eyes at him. "You have two seconds to get out of here."

If they didn't leave, he would beat the hell out of them.

Gerry and the assistant director saw the murderous look in Edmund's eyes, so they immediately scurried out. They surely would've regretted it if they had stayed.

There were only two people left in the villa, Edmund and Diane.

Sitting on the sofa, Diane was whimpering like an injured puppy. She had begun taking short, sharp breaths. After observing her for a while, Edmund walked toward her.

He took a tissue and handed it to Diane.

Seeing that Edmund took the initiative to give her a tissue, Diane thought that he had eased up and didn't intend anymore to demand answers.

"Thank you," she muttered, taking the tissue and wiping away her tears.

The next second, Edmund said, "I want you to stop hyping our relationship."

His words were like lightning out of the blue. Diane was so shocked that her tears abruptly stopped flowing.

It turned out that Edmund's tenderness was just an illusion.

"Edmund, I'm sorry. I was wrong..." Diane burst into tears again. She grabbed Edmund's arm and added, "I know it's wrong for me to bully Chelsea, but I'm just jealous. I'm jealous that she is your wife of three years. I'm jealous that she has obtained you so completely."

While weeping, Diane held Edmund in her arms and continued to apologize to him. "Edmund, I love you so much that I've done something foolish on impulse. Can you forgive me this time?"

When Diane held him, disgust filled Edmund's eyes.

He raised his hand and pushed her away. He said lightly, "It's not on impulse, Diane. It's on who you

are as a person."

How could she let Gerry and the assistant director sexually harass Chelsea? She was also a woman. How could she allow such a horrendous thing?

Today, for the first time, Edmund realized that he didn't share the same values with Diane. No wonder he always felt that there was something missing between them.

Diane couldn't stop crying and pleaded over and over, "I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Edmund. I won't do it again, I swear..."
