Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 728: All Have Gotten Used to It

She stood up for James Reed, and he actually stopped her from talking?

Does James Reed even know what he’s saying?

Hayley Cole’s annoyance flared up immediately, but when she raised her eyes and met James’ eyes, which seemed soaked in bitter bile, her anger vanished just as quickly.

James Reed was in such a difficult position, just like her in the Cole Family, unrecognized.

He was like her; why make things harder for him?

"Hmph, I just couldn’t swallow the anger," Hayley Cole snorted, speaking resentfully, "Whether the Seymour Family accepts you or not, you’ve meticulously prepared your gift. Even if it’s a guest bringing a gift, the host family should express their thanks, right."

"Moreover, James is still a child of the Seymour Family, giving gifts according to their preferences. It’s their earnest intention, better than some people who bring nothing, just showing up empty-handed?" Hayley Cole said, casting a meaningful glance at Charles Seymour, "After all, as a guest, I came bearing gifts."

Sophie Wilson, who was just not smiling, raised her brow. Oh wow, speaking about James Reed was one thing, but now she’s even bringing her Mr. Seymour into this.

Who gave Hayley Cole the audacity?

Right in front of her, daring to talk about her man!

If someone bullies her to this extent, how could Sophie Wilson not respond?

"Miss Cole, what’s the meaning of your glance toward me?" Sophie Wilson asked with a faint smile, looking at Hayley Cole, "Are you saying we haven’t given a gift?"

"Isn’t that the case?" Hayley Cole retorted sarcastically, "James has offered such carefully selected gifts, yet you haven’t shown any gesture at all? Could it be you weren’t prepared?"

"How do you know we weren’t prepared?" Sophie Wilson asked amusingly.

"Why haven’t you given it if you were prepared? Feeling your gift isn’t as good as James’, so you’re embarrassed to present it?" Hayley Cole laughed coldly, "Of course, James painstakingly found an antique calligraphy and painting that Old Mr. Seymour loves; other gifts would pale in comparison to this."

"If you can’t come up with something better, I understand. After all, Charles Seymour is recognized as Old Mr. Seymour’s grandson, unlike James, who has to tread carefully." Hayley Cole’s words were tinged with sour resentment, seeing James’ situation and completely inserting herself into it.

Whether she’s speaking for James or venting her own grievances was unclear.

"We’d love to give a gift, but sadly, someone beat us to it, didn’t they?" Sophie Wilson was not buying Hayley Cole’s provocations and directly countered, "Nevertheless, James Reed is younger than my Mr. Seymour; even in gift-giving, he should line up after Mr. Seymour."

"It’s a pity, my Mr. Seymour is so unfortunate, not even favored by his own father. Letting this ’brother’ beat him to everything. But my Mr. Seymour is used to it; he doesn’t mind once or twice." Sophie Wilson’s words were like invisible slaps resounding on Ethan Seymour’s face.

When giving gifts, you should mind the order of age; the elder brother Charles hasn’t given his gift, yet James steps ahead to give one to Old Mr. Seymour. What’s the meaning of this?

This is clearly trying to bypass Charles Seymour and curry favor with Old Mr. Seymour.

And why try to please Old Mr. Seymour? Isn’t it obvious to everyone? It’s all for the inheritance of the Seymour Corporation.
