"The Seymour Family?" Clarissa said in a deep voice, "Isn’t James Reed also from the Seymour Family?"
At the mention of James Reed, Ophelia Wilson’s expression softened, and it was not an act, it was truly from her heart: "Because of some misunderstandings, James has always been very tolerant of his elder brother. If he really did something, James certainly wouldn’t stop him." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⁂𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⁂𝙣𝙚𝙩
"What James Reed did was a misunderstanding?" Clarissa’s anger finally found an outlet, and she vented it out, "His mother was a mistress, and he’s an illegitimate child! An illegitimate child should just stay quietly outside, why come to the Seymour Family and infuriate the legitimate wife to death?"
"Mom, how can you say that about James?" When it came to other things, Ophelia Wilson’s façade was flawless, but not when it involved James Reed, he was her Achilles’ heel, "James didn’t want to be an illegitimate child, it was all his mother’s doing, he had no choice, did he?"
"Moreover, the decisions his mother made, he couldn’t stop them, after all, that person was still his mother, what could he do?"
Seeing Ophelia Wilson continuously defend James Reed, Clarissa’s anger made her veins throb painfully, "Ophelia, whatever decisions you made since you were a child, as long as it made you happy and didn’t hurt you, we have always supported you. But from the beginning, I disagreed with you dating James Reed."
"Have you truly thought it through about marrying James Reed? With a mother like that, do you really think he’ll treat you well?" After all, she was her daughter whom she had raised for over twenty years, Clarissa couldn’t be completely emotionless, she still wanted to pull Ophelia back before she jumped into the fire pit.
"Mom, James’s background isn’t something he can choose, and besides, I’ve already accepted his proposal. The most important point is, if I marry James, it will greatly aid dad’s business and company." Ophelia’s sweet and sensible demeanor didn’t bring Clarissa any comfort, it only deepened her disappointment.
Even at this point, Ophelia Wilson still hypocritically wanted to please them, to be a good daughter who is sensible and filial.
"You better think through your future carefully, don’t regret it!" Having left these words, Clarissa angrily turned around, unwilling to stay a second longer.
"Ophelia, your mom is worried about you." Mason Wilson hurriedly explained, afraid that Ophelia Wilson would take it to heart.
"Dad, I know." Ophelia said sensibly, "It’s my fault, mom is originally someone who values emotions and loyalty, knowing what kind of person Sophie is, it’s inevitable that she would feel upset. Dad, you’d better go and comfort mom."
"Alright." Mason Wilson nodded and said with concern, "Don’t worry too much about the online issues, I’ll see what I can do."
"Dad, there’s no need, you’re already busy enough with the company, my talent agency can handle these small matters." Ophelia urged Mason Wilson, "Go check on mom, I’m worried she might make herself sick from the anger."
Seeing such a sensible and good daughter, Mason Wilson nodded and went back to his room.
As soon as Ophelia Wilson closed her door, the gentle and sensible look on her face vanished, replaced by thick malice, her face twisted as she clenched her teeth.
What’s wrong with James?
James is so good, why speak ill of him?
Furiously pounding her pillow a few times, Ophelia Wilson finally vented her anger, and looking at the computer screen, a malicious smile emerged at her lips, Grace Wilson shouldn’t be able to hold on any longer, Sophie Wilson’s good days are about to end.
