Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 772 Explosion
James Reed’s words left Ethan Seymour stunned, utterly stunned, as he stammered, "You, what did you say?"
Once James Reed had spoken, he realized what he had shouted and felt he had acted impulsively.
"What are you saying again? You’re my son, do you need to let your fiancée sell herself? Do you believe such nonsense?" Ethan Seymour furiously questioned James Reed, while his cold, resentful gaze fell on Ophelia Wilson.
Ethan Seymour clearly did not believe the reason Ophelia Wilson had given, firmly convinced that it was all nonsense spoken by her to confuse his son!
"James, Uncle is right. Everything I said was false. I’ll leave first. Don’t make Uncle angry." Ophelia Wilson held back her tears, suppressing her grief, and was about to turn away, but James Reed didn’t give her a chance to leave, grabbing her firmly.
"Ophelia, wait a minute." James Reed seemed to muster up courage, lifted his head, and stared at Ethan Seymour.
In his deep eyes, there was a pain that made Ethan Seymour’s heart tremble. Ethan Seymour didn’t know why, but it seemed like he should say something at that moment. However, before he could speak, James Reed had already exploded.
"Dad, ever since mom and I came to this house, big brother has been cold to me, and grandpa and grandma don’t like me. Uncle’s family looks down on me even more. Even at school, classmates bully me to curry favor with big brother."
"Do you know? There’s always trash in my desk, my stationery is always missing, and during gym class, they deliberately push me down!"
As James Reed spoke, Ethan Seymour’s eyes widened in astonishment, filled with incredulity: "Why didn’t you tell me earlier?"
"What could I say? I’m the child of a mistress, with the last name Reed instead of Seymour. My mom and I are sinners, branded as the ones who caused the death of big brother’s mother, deserving whatever bullying comes our way!"
"No, not like that, how could you..." Ethan Seymour panicked, he had never seen such a helpless, vulnerable side of James Reed.
In his eyes, James had always been an optimistic, sensible child, understanding and compassionate. How could he have suffered so much without Ethan knowing?
"My mom as well, she rarely goes out to socialize with those noble ladies because they also mock and ridicule my mom!" James Reed’s words made Ethan Seymour turn his head in shock, seeking the truth in Charlotte Reed’s eyes.
Charlotte Reed tried to smile in comfort, but the overpowering bitterness made her smile look more pitiful and heartbreaking.
Ethan Seymour staggered, feeling as if a heavy hammer struck his heart fiercely, how could this happen?
Was this truly the kind of life his wife and son had been living with him?
"We can disregard all this, I only thought I could work harder, do more things for dad. But... no matter how hard I try, I’m still no match for big brother. Now, big brother’s excellence makes the company’s board of directors look at him with admiration!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
"Ophelia saw that I would be squeezed out of the company, that’s why she made such a foolish decision. How could I abandon her at a time like this?" James Reed sniffed painfully, holding back his sobs, bowed to Ethan Seymour, and said, "Dad, I’m sorry, I can’t leave Ophelia."
"If dad thinks I don’t belong at home, I can move out right away." After speaking, James Reed looked steadily at Ethan Seymour, waiting for his decision.
