Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 739 Not a Big Deal

Hayley Cole wanted to speak, but found that the muscles on her face were so stiff that they wouldn’t follow her brain’s commands, and her lips were as if glued together, unable to open.

She moved her neck, only to hear the creaking sound of what seemed like rusted vertebrae.

The air was silent for what could have been a few seconds, or perhaps several centuries, anyway, everyone else was so shocked they were petrified, except for Sophie Wilson, the person involved, who looked as if nothing had happened, smiled at Old Mr. Seymour and asked, "Grandpa, do you like this birthday gift?"

Old Mr. Seymour opened his mouth, uttering a dull, "Ah."

"As long as Grandpa likes it," Sophie Wilson said with such ease, as if she had given away a piece of paper, rather than a unique piece of Fortune and Longevity jadeite.

"Sophie Wilson, are you the owner of Lingzhu Jade?" Hayley Cole finally snapped out of her shock, but still couldn’t believe it, her voice sharp and somewhat piercing as she questioned.

"Yes," Sophie Wilson nodded, looking innocently at Hayley Cole, "Is there a problem?"

Everyone: "..."

Isn’t there a huge problem?

"How could you possibly be the owner of Lingzhu Jade?" Hayley Cole simply didn’t believe it, her eyes wandering between Sophie Wilson and Patrick Grant’s faces, then suddenly it clicked, she exclaimed, "Are you guys pretending just to embarrass James Reed?"

Even though the guests knew Hayley Cole’s identity, they couldn’t help but show expressions as if looking at an idiot.

Does Hayley Cole really have a brain problem?

"So Miss Cole’s meaning is that Lingzhu Jade is using their family heirloom to act with me? Hmm..." Sophie Wilson nodded, sighing, "Miss Cole, your idea... is really quite original."

"What, not possible?" Even Hayley Cole felt something was off about what she just said, but pushed to this point, she had no choice but to say, "Who’s not aware that Charles Seymour is the chairman of Peace Group, if he forced Patrick Grant... hmph, do I even need to say more?"

"I suppose Miss Cole knows quite a few big figures, surely there’s someone who wants ’Miss,’ right?" Sophie Wilson laughed and asked Hayley Cole, "Just see who bought ’Miss’?"

Hayley Cole’s face froze.

"Sophie, are you really the owner of Lingzhu Jade?" Old Mr. Seymour finally recovered enough to speak full sentences.

"Yes, Grandpa," Sophie Wilson replied cheerfully, "In the future, whatever jade jewelry you want, just take it. For our family, I’ve got it all covered."

Sophie Wilson patted her chest in a bold gesture, making Old Mr. Seymour laugh: "Good, good, very good..."

Old Mr. Seymour truly didn’t expect his granddaughter-in-law to be the owner of Lingzhu Jade.

"You, child, why didn’t you let on any hint beforehand?" Old Mr. Seymour asked with amusement.

Because I just found out myself.

Sophie Wilson silently answered in her heart, of course, she was only thinking this to herself, she’d never be foolish enough to say it out loud.

On the surface, she certainly had to put on a cool act, to smack some people’s faces.

"I don’t think it’s a big deal," Sophie Wilson smiled casually, "Mr. Seymour and I have always been like this, we don’t care about these material things."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a mix of emotions, not knowing what expression to show.
