Chapter 397 Disrespect
Chapter 397 Disrespect
"Mm, Mom and Dad will definitely prepare well." Ophelia Wilson nodded heavily. Once the engagement was settled, the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground."I’ll go tell Mom and Dad now." Ophelia Wilson happily turned and left. Old Mrs. Wilson nodded in satisfaction. Ophelia was always considerate of them; see, after getting good news, she came to tell them first, before even telling her own parents.
Old Mr. Wilson was not caught up in the same sentimental feelings as Old Mrs. Wilson. He was calculating how much the Wilson Clan’s assets could appreciate and expand after collaborating with the Seymour Corporation.
Ophelia Wilson shared the good news with Mason Wilson and Clarissa Taylor: "...Mom, Dad, when I marry James in the future, he’ll assist with the company’s matters, so Dad will certainly have it easier."
Clarissa felt very uncomfortable hearing Ophelia say this. The way Ophelia spoke, it made it sound as if they were shamelessly selling their daughter for glory, didn’t it?
Mason Wilson, naturally more composed than Clarissa, smiled and asked, "The day after tomorrow evening?"
"Yes, Dad." Ophelia nodded heavily.
Mason Wilson said, "But I have a client meeting scheduled that day."
"Ah?" Ophelia never expected Mason to say such a thing and frowned in embarrassment, asking, "Dad, can’t you reschedule your appointment?"
Mason Wilson sighed lightly and said, "Ophelia, Dad could postpone the client meeting for you because you’re the child I’ve doted on since you were little."
For some reason, hearing Mason’s words, Ophelia’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt inexplicably tense and uneasy.
But who was Ophelia?
A popular star in the entertainment industry, with impeccable acting skills.
"Dad, of course I know that you love me the most." Ophelia immediately acted playfully, just like when she was a child, hugging Mason’s arm and swaying affectionately.
"For you, Dad can go the day after tomorrow. But for the Seymour Family to not even ask if I’m available and just decide by themselves, do they look down on me?" Mason asked gloomily.
"Dad, it’s not like that. James and the others definitely don’t..."
Mason waved his hand, stopping Ophelia from defending James and the others, and said earnestly, "The Wilson Clan’s status in the business world indeed can’t compare to the Seymour Family, but the topic is your engagement, not a business collaboration. If they respected you, why didn’t they check with me first but decided privately?"
Ophelia was left momentarily speechless by Mason. She understood that Mason had a point, but she couldn’t help but defend James: "Dad, the time was set in a rush by James’s grandparents, so Uncle Seymour wanted to quickly discuss the engagement."
"If Dad thinks that day is unsuitable, I can talk to James and arrange a suitable time to discuss it again." Ophelia’s words made Mason wave his hand, "It doesn’t matter to me. I just hope you won’t regret it. The Seymour family doesn’t value you as much as you think they do."
"Dad, you’re overthinking it." Ophelia didn’t believe Mason’s words at all. How could James not value her?
James treated her well.
"I hope I’m overthinking it." Mason did not argue with Ophelia, nodding and agreeing to discuss the engagement that day.
