Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 725: So Thoughtful
Now that Old Mr. Seymour has almost fully retired, and Ethan Seymour is also getting on in years, it seems the leadership of the Seymour Corporation is about to change hands.
With the recent display of Charles Seymour’s formidable capabilities, everyone is eagerly anticipating the battle for the head of the Seymour Corporation.
No matter whether Charles intends to compete for it or not, others are just waiting to watch the drama unfold.
After all, who leads the Seymour Corporation in the future concerns everyone’s interests, and it cannot be taken lightly.
Since everyone is watching, Ethan Seymour naturally won’t disappoint them, especially since they have come well-prepared this time: "Dad, James and Ophelia have prepared birthday gifts for you."
Old Mr. Seymour glanced at Ethan Seymour and asked noncommittally, "Oh, really?"
"Yes." Ethan Seymour replied with a smile, pulling James Reed forward, "James and Ophelia are truly filial. Knowing it’s your birthday, they prepared gifts well in advance, all carefully selected with heartfelt intentions."
"To prepare these gifts for you, they really put in a lot of thought." Ethan Seymour said smugly.
"Dad, it’s only right to prepare birthday gifts for Grandpa." James Reed said warmly, then looked at Old Mr. Seymour, his gaze full of respect and admiration from a younger generation to an elder, passionate yet not overdone; he truly struck the perfect balance, "Grandpa, Ophelia also prepared a birthday gift for you."
"Oh?" Old Mr. Seymour looked at Ophelia Wilson and said, with a tone neither warm nor cold, "That’s very thoughtful of you."
"Grandpa, here is the gift I prepared for you." Ophelia Wilson quickly handed over the birthday gift she had prepared to Old Mr. Seymour. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
Old Mr. Seymour took it and saw it was a quaint little wooden box.
The moment he touched it, he knew it was made of rosewood. Seeing the emblem of Lingzhu Jade on it, he understood what was inside the box.
When he opened it, sure enough, it contained a beautifully carved jade Guanyin. At a glance at the jade’s quality, Old Mr. Seymour knew that Ophelia Wilson had really invested heavily.
"A jade Guanyin from Lingzhu Jade, that’s thoughtful of you." Old Mr. Seymour slowly said.
The surrounding guests exchanged glances and nodded slightly, realizing that Ophelia Wilson had been very generous, as the price was certainly significant.
"I’m glad you like it." Ophelia Wilson said with a smile. Despite her heart bleeding at the time of purchase, thinking that this person would be her grandfather and that James’s smooth succession of the Seymour Corporation depended on him, Ophelia Wilson felt it was worth it.
"What I have is nothing much." One has to admit that Ophelia Wilson was indeed gracious. After receiving Old Mr. Seymour’s approval for her gift, she didn’t forget to promote James Reed, "James’s gift really shows even more thought."
With Ophelia Wilson’s words, she truly piqued everyone’s interest; James Reed had brought Hayley Cole over, so he must have prepared something good.
What could it be?
James Reed sensed everyone’s gaze on him, and his heart filled with a slight sense of pride. He had gone to great lengths and relied on many to finally obtain it.
"Grandpa." James Reed took two steps forward, walking to Old Mr. Seymour, and respectfully said, "I know Grandpa loves paintings and calligraphy, so I found a piece for Grandpa to appreciate."
Saying this, James Reed took out the long, narrow box he had kept close to him, carefully opened it, and with Ophelia Wilson’s help, unfurled the painting.
