His objective was to sow discord between Elmer and Philip so that Philip would join him instead. With that in mind, he took action without further ado. Sure enough, his remark did have some effect. As the head of the Harrod family, Elmer was an arrogant person by birth. He always felt that talents like Philip should belong to the Harrod family.
