Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate

Chapter 491 Do Not Want to Reschedule

But in front of everyone, how could she ask?Wouldn’t that just cause discomfort for herself?

She endured for so long, pretending nothing happened, only to have it ruined by Emerie.

Damn Emerie!

"Emerie, try this, the juice is quite nice," Benjamin quickly offered Emerie a glass of juice, mindful of her heart condition, as she never touched alcohol.

"Sure." Emerie wasn’t aware of any issue with what she just said, happily taking a sip, "It really is quite tasty."

Such innocent words almost made Ophelia grind her teeth in frustration.

How old is Emerie now, can’t she be a bit more sensible?

Does she still think naivety is cute?

This is called stupidity!

Benjamin was trying to smooth things over, but those around them had heard Emerie’s words, dealing with her was manageable, but what about James?

Ophelia glanced anxiously at James, internally resenting Emerie for causing trouble for him.

"Ophelia, I’ve been too busy to mention," James said smiling, "Grandpa and Grandma received another event invitation, so they can’t attend our engagement party."

James’ words brought a knowing smile to Ophelia’s face: "If Grandpa and Grandma have matters to attend to, surely their priority is their own affairs."

The surrounding guests also showed understanding smiles, polite yet maintaining decorum, outwardly posing no issues, but Ophelia knew they didn’t truly believe.

If it were her, she wouldn’t believe it either.

Skipping one’s grandson’s engagement party to attend another event?

This excuse is just too sham!

"Ophelia, don’t mind," Ethan supplemented with a laugh, "There’s a big gathering on the ninth floor, insisting our family attends. It coincides with your engagement date, and the event can’t be postponed, so we had to let James’ grandparents go. That’s why they couldn’t attend your engagement party."

Ethan’s explanation changed the expressions of the surrounding guests.

They knew Ethan wouldn’t joke about a gathering on the ninth floor.

If that’s the claim... The Seymour family is really impressive, aren’t they?

Even being invited to the ninth floor’s event, it really is... solidifying everyone’s resolve to win favor with the Seymour Family.

On hearing this, Ophelia looked excitedly at James, her heart swelling with emotion: "James, you gave up that event just for me, actually, we could reschedule."

"How could we?" James gently tapped Ophelia’s nose and replied with a smile, "Our engagement date was set long ago, and I don’t want to change it."

"Compared to that event, I find our engagement more important," James’ words immediately caused a stir of envy among the women present.

James unhesitatingly ignored such an event just to be engaged to Ophelia, how deeply does James love Ophelia?

What a wonderful man, how did Ophelia manage to meet him?

Watching James tie everything together so seamlessly, Ethan was secretly pleased.

That’s his son, truly clever.

They would never admit that the event had nothing to do with them, they received no invitation.
