Chapter 518: Waiting
"Hey." James Reed nodded in agreement, then looked at Ethan Seymour with concern and said to Charlotte Reed, "Mom, take good care of Dad.""Got it, don’t worry." Charlotte Reed nodded with a smile.
Their appearance made Ethan Seymour laugh: "Alright, I’m not mad anymore. With you two, why should I be angry with that bastard? Not worth it!"
"Dad, as long as you’re not mad." James Reed finally let out a sigh of relief, seemingly reassured.
"Not mad, not mad." Ethan Seymour said with a smile. James Reed being so worried about him, what reason did he have to be angry? Ethan Seymour happily urged James Reed to go rest.
After James Reed left, Ethan Seymour held Charlotte Reed’s hand and apologized to her: "All these years, you’ve really been wronged."
"Being by your side is happiness enough, how is it wronged?" Charlotte Reed playfully scolded, "Why are our husband and wife talking about this?"
"If we’re talking about grievances, you’re the one wronged. For me and James, your relationship with dad and mom became strained. And, over the years with Charles... Watching you and your son grow distant, I really feel terrible." Charlotte Reed frowned and spoke in self-reproach.
"Don’t mention that bastard!" Speaking of Charles Seymour, Ethan Seymour was filled with anger, "He and his mother are just here to disgust me."
"Let’s go, back to the room to rest." Ethan Seymour didn’t want to talk much about that little punk who made him angry, pulling Charlotte Reed back to the room.
Charlotte Reed, being virtuous, prepared bathwater and pajamas for Ethan Seymour. These tasks, over the years, she had always done personally.
Soaking in the hot water, Ethan Seymour slowly relaxed. Though the gloom persisted, he felt his side wasn’t lacking.
That little punk managed to pull off an engagement party only because of the connections from his brother’s training camp.
Absolutely ridiculous.
Having no real capability, relying on external forces, pulling off an engagement far beyond his means is just like a poor man suddenly getting rich, showing off with all might.
What good is showing off?
It’s not even his!
He’s waiting to see how that punk makes a fool of himself later.
James Reed is engaged to Ophelia Wilson; their strength surpasses the Clark and White Families, thus securing cooperation with Peace Corporation is practically guaranteed.
Do shareholders care about sentiments?
Absolutely not!
They care about profits. Seeing James can bring them more profits, isn’t Seymour Corporation ultimately under his and James’s control?
Just see how that little punk fares without the old man backing him.
He waits!
While Ethan Seymour’s side is quite calm, the Wilson Clan is bustling.
Especially with Emerie Wilson, who wouldn’t rest until a matter was understood, the house was in chaos.
"Ophelia, what’s going on? Why are you being outdone?" Emerie Wilson questioned aggressively, "Do you know how embarrassed and humiliated I was at your engagement party?"
"Sophie Wilson, oh Sophie Wilson can host an engagement at the ninth level, while yours was arranged at the eighth! And look at what you’ve prepared, none as good as theirs. Didn’t you say James values you? Is this what you call value?"
"Really embarrassing!" Emerie Wilson scoffed disdainfully, "Still live-streaming to the whole network, huh? Is it not enough to lose face, you want everyone to see your disgrace, right?"
