Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 719: Breaking New Ground

"Is there something you can’t say privately, and have to make such a scene?" Martin Seymour’s grizzled eyebrows tightened. Already stern, at this moment he looked even more imposing, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

"You think I want to make a scene?" Ethan Seymour swallowed hard, but thinking of his wife and son, he gathered his courage and stared at Martin Seymour, saying, "Dad hasn’t recognized James all these years, am I not aggrieved? In the past, James would just drop off gifts and leave, but this year is different!"

Thinking of all the years James had been wronged, Ethan Seymour felt uncomfortable: "Today, James has invited an important guest. If James isn’t here, it’ll be hard to explain to the guest when they arrive."

Martin Seymour, having spent a lifetime in training camps, was not easily intimidated: "What important guest?"

"Me." Hayley Cole, dressed particularly glamorously today, walked over, smiling as she asked James Reed, "James, is this how the Seymour Family treats guests? I’ve really learned something new."

"Miss Cole, it’s not that, you’ve misunderstood my uncle," James Reed hurriedly explained, "I really shouldn’t have come."

Martin Seymour always disliked James Reed’s two-faced nature; such a double-dealing troublemaker - luckily, the old man didn’t acknowledge this grandson.

"Ha." Hayley Cole’s amused sigh was full of disdain, "They don’t want you here, yet they’re shameless enough to accept your gifts? If they have the guts, they shouldn’t take your gifts!"

"Taking the benefits while not recognizing the person, that’s quite an ugly way to behave." Hayley Cole always spoke unrestrainedly, not caring at all that Martin Seymour was nearly seventy, throwing out her words without leaving him any face.

Julian Campbell, seeing this woman bullying his grandfather, rolled up his sleeves ready to rush up, but was unexpectedly held back by Sophie Wilson, who asked in confusion: "Auntie?"

"Doesn’t it look ugly, a grown man arguing with a girl? Don’t forget, you’re a star." Sophie Wilson said.

Julian Campbell felt wronged: "Should I just watch her bully my grandpa?"

"I’ll handle it!" Sophie Wilson lightly patted Julian Campbell, walking over briskly, "Oh dear, who’s this? Isn’t this Miss Cole, daughter of Chairman Cole?"

When Hayley Cole saw Sophie Wilson, her face immediately darkened.

The last time she lost, it was truly embarrassing.

"Miss Cole, Chairman Cole has always valued manners and propriety, being upright and honest. Didn’t he teach you to follow the host’s lead when being a guest?" Sophie Wilson finished, and suddenly seemed to remember something, covering her mouth in a panic and widening her eyes to observe Hayley Cole, "Oh, I forgot, Miss Cole is Chairman Cole’s stepdaughter. Chairman Cole wouldn’t dare discipline you."

"What’s wrong with being a stepdaughter?" Hayley Cole hated when others brought up her background, and Sophie Wilson’s words struck her most sensitive nerve, causing her to angrily ask, "Is it any of your business?"

"Of course, it’s none of my business." Sophie Wilson covered her mouth lightly in a laugh, "If Chairman Cole can’t handle you, how could I?"

"Sophie Wilson, you bitch!" Hayley Cole yelled angrily.

"Oh dear... what did I say that makes Miss Cole think I’m a bitch? Could it be that telling the truth now makes someone a bitch? Miss Cole’s standards are truly novel and refreshing." After Sophie Wilson finished her series of remarks, Julian Campbell was left dumbfounded.
