Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 779: So Good

"Dad, I’m sorry." James Reed hung his head in discomfort. "But I can’t let Ophelia face this alone. She did it all for me. Worst case... I’ll leave Seymour Corporation."

"I’ll beat you, you bastard!" Ethan Seymour cursed at James for the first time in his life, showing just how truly angry he was.

"Hey, hey..." Charlotte Reed hurried over to wrap her arms around Ethan Seymour, simultaneously admonishing James, "Get out of my sight!"

Seeing the situation turning ugly, James quickly ran off, hastily throwing out one last line: "Dad, I’m sorry."

"I’ll beat him, that bastard. Is he trying to make me furious?" Ethan Seymour didn’t truly intend to hit James; otherwise, how could Charlotte Reed possibly have stopped him?

He was genuinely angry, nonetheless.

"I’ll talk it over with James. Don’t get yourself worked up." Charlotte Reed sighed heavily, "The boy is too stubborn."

While Ethan Seymour was livid, the internet was abuzz due to Ophelia Wilson’s scandal, especially with the video of the transaction broadcast during the livestream. Some netizens had clipped it and swiftly spread it online.

Because there was some inappropriate footage towards the end, many sections were being censored online.

However, the power of netizens is mighty. Even if it’s banned online, it spreads privately. The video itself doesn’t show much, but since the protagonist is famous...

Ophelia Wilson, a woman about to marry into a wealthy family, doing such a thing, drew a lot of attention.

Even if it’s deleted, it can’t be wiped clean. Besides, Ophelia Wilson was already about to break her contract, and her company naturally didn’t want to spend more money on her behalf.

Luckily, James Reed didn’t abandon Ophelia Wilson. He quickly contacted lawyers and negotiated with her company to minimize losses. At the same time, he issued a statement online that Ophelia Wilson would retire indefinitely from the industry.

As for why she was retiring, the company’s statement provided an explanation, wishing Miss Ophelia Wilson and Mr. James Reed everlasting happiness together!

The moment this statement was released, the internet went wild.

Not to mention, the entertainment company didn’t only release it on forums but also on blogs, and even on Ophelia Wilson’s official fan pages and other places.

Meanwhile, James Reed also posted on his own blog, stating that he would be walking into the wedding chapel with Ophelia Wilson.

Immediately, this sparked a heated discussion online.

Some ridiculed James Reed as a turtle wearing a prairie crown, others admired his affection for Ophelia Wilson, while some cursed Ophelia Wilson for being shameless, having the nerve to marry James after such a scandal.

No matter the online reaction, Ophelia Wilson’s departure from the entertainment industry was definite.

"Ophelia, don’t stress over it, just rest well. Be my most beautiful bride next month." James Reed whispered softly, embracing Ophelia.

"Okay." Ophelia nodded slightly, blushing as she smiled, "You should hurry to work."

James Reed, concerned, replied, "If anything comes up, call me. Don’t feel wronged."

Seeing Ophelia agree, James Reed finally left.

"Ophelia, James is really good to you." Chaya Davis said happily; as long as James Reed was willing to marry Ophelia, her later years would be secured.

"Yes, James is really good to me." Ophelia said, moved, and then sighed with some discomfort, "But his parents don’t like me..."
