Chapter 499: Gratitude
James Reed’s eyes were already red with hatred. Charles Seymour, Charles Seymour! Why does he seem to be everywhere?Compared to Charles Seymour, the band James Reed specially hired doesn’t even... doesn’t stand a chance.
James Reed was so proud just a moment ago, but now he’s utterly shamed.
It’s not just James Reed who’s embarrassed; Ethan Seymour’s face had turned blue with anger, and his body was trembling.
If Charles Seymour were in front of Ethan Seymour at that moment, Ethan Seymour would probably kick him.
Is this how a son shows disrespect to his father?
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend mine and Charles’s engagement party, thank you," Sophie Wilson said with a slight bow, which was met with applause from the guests.
Engagement party!
It truly is Sophie Wilson and Charles Seymour’s engagement party; James Reed’s guests were completely stunned.
From how Sophie Wilson spoke, it seemed these people had indeed been invited to her and Charles Seymour’s engagement party.
Which means, Sophie Wilson or Charles Seymour have the capability to host a party on the ninth floor and even have those significant figures whom they normally can’t even approach attend... Everyone was no longer just stunned but also scared out of their wits.
So, what was the point of always siding with James Reed?
The person who will truly be in charge of the Seymour Family in the future will probably be Charles Seymour, right?
Does this have anything to do with James Reed?
The gazes of the crowd had changed, looking at James Reed as if he were a swindler.
To think they’ve been supporting James Reed this whole time, all their efforts wasted.
James Reed didn’t need to see to feel the stinging gazes of the crowd upon him, like needles poking him.
But now he couldn’t show anything, if he panicked, he’d be defeated completely.
James Reed pretended everything was fine, watching the big screen as if he was intently observing his brother’s engagement party with a deeply blessing demeanor.
The host sitting next to him eating had fully witnessed James Reed’s reaction, internally sneering, thinking that it shouldn’t have been Ophelia Wilson who entered showbiz, but James Reed; his acting skills were far superior to Ophelia Wilson’s.
Didn’t notice how unnatural Ophelia Wilson’s expression was?
But James Reed maintained a gentlemanly and courteous demeanor; his mental fortitude was truly impressive.
On the big screen, Sophie Wilson straightened up and said with a smile, "Mr. Seymour in my family, he doesn’t like to talk, so, I want to take this occasion to thank a few people."
"First of all, thank you to my parents. Although I’ve only recently reunited with them, knowing I’m getting engaged, they gifted me an engagement present." Sophie’s gaze softly fell on Mason Wilson and Clarissa Taylor seated at the main table below.
As Sophie raised her hand, the waiter beside her immediately walked onto the stage with a tray.
Sophie took out the items inside and displayed them with a smile for everyone to see, "My parents are truly so adorable; worried that after I get married, I won’t stand firm in the husband’s family, so they gave me ninety percent of their assets."
Ninety percent of the assets?
The guests at James Reed’s engagement party were astonished; unlike netizens, they were aware of the fallout between Mason Wilson, Clarissa Taylor, and the Wilson patriarch.
They no longer benefit from the Wilson Clan’s perks, meaning their current assets are all they have to rely on for their livelihood.
Those assets can’t compare to when Mason Wilson was still part of the Wilson Clan, yet they gave ninety percent of their remaining assets to Sophie Wilson; it’s truly... showing intense love for their daughter.
