"Him?" Charlotte Reed’s voice suddenly rose sharply. Realizing something was off, she quickly lowered her voice, putting on a kindly smile and asked, "Have you seen him? Where is he?"
"You wouldn’t know this child, just because of a little misunderstanding back then, he ran away from home and never returned. Your uncle has been both worried and angry all these years." Official source ıs 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵
"Where is he? I’ll go find him and persuade him to come back." Charlotte Reed was pulling Ophelia Wilson’s hand, as anxious as a mother on fire.
"Auntie, when I saw him, he still had many misunderstandings about you and uncle, so even if you try to persuade him, he might not come back." Ophelia Wilson, understanding Charlotte Reed’s concern, advised, "However, what I want to say is, big brother has a girlfriend, and that girlfriend..."
Ophelia Wilson deliberately stopped here, not saying anything further.
"What about his girlfriend?" Unsurprisingly, Charlotte Reed immediately followed up.
"His girlfriend doesn’t have a good reputation." Ophelia Wilson felt a bit embarrassed as she said, "I heard that woman even schemed against her own parents’ company, leaving her grandmother homeless... I’m afraid big brother being with such a woman might lead to trouble."
"What?" Charlotte Reed almost jumped up with joy, but then realized her emotions were off, and tried to appear worried and angry, "How could it be ?"
"No way, I have to find a way for James to persuade him." Charlotte Reed sighed, "Even though I’m his stepmother, he’s still my child. I can’t let him take the wrong path."
"James, James," Charlotte Reed called out loudly.
"That scum deserves to be with such a woman!" The furious outburst made Charlotte Reed and Ophelia Wilson stand up abruptly from the sofa.
"Uncle Seymour." Ophelia Wilson called out to Ethan Seymour, who had just entered the door.
"Ethan, you’re back?" Charlotte Reed greeted him with a smile, seemingly trying to change the subject.
"That scoundrel has been cold-hearted since he was a child, it’s normal for him to be with a woman like that. What’s the point of persuading him?" Mentioning Charles Seymour, Ethan Seymour’s tone was unpleasant.
"Dad, don’t be angry." James Reed came down from upstairs and advised, "What’s going on?"
Ophelia Wilson anxiously twisted her fingers and muttered, "James, I told auntie about running into big brother and his relationship with Sophie Wilson."
Upon hearing this, James Reed frowned: "It’s not even certain if big brother and Sophie Wilson are really together, maybe they’ll break up after some time, so why..."
"Why are you blaming Ophelia?" Ethan Seymour scolded, "This was that scoundrel’s fault in the first place, Ophelia was kind enough to tell us."
"I’m not blaming Ophelia, I just thought if there was a chance, we could gradually persuade big brother and alleviate the tension between you and him, I..."
"Who wants to alleviate anything with him?" Ethan Seymour said irritably.
"Ethan, don’t blame James, when we entered the Seymour Family, we did hurt that child, it’s all our fault." Charlotte Reed’s eyes reddened, looking at Ethan Seymour with such an aggrieved expression that it made his heart ache.
"Alright, it’s got nothing to do with you." Ethan Seymour waved his hand dismissively, "That scoundrel can do whatever he wants, it has nothing to do with us, don’t bother with them."
"Dad, grandpa always held big brother in high regard. If grandpa finds out, and we knew big brother got involved with such a girlfriend but didn’t try to persuade him, grandpa might think it was me and mom deliberately trying to harm big brother." James Reed spoke helplessly.
