She stood up for Jas Reed, and he actually stopped her from talking?
Does Jas Reed even know what he’s saying?
Hayley Cole’s annoyance flared up imdiately, but when she raised her eyes and t Jas’ eyes, which seed soaked in bitter bile, her anger vanished just as quickly.
Jas Reed was in such a difficult position, just like her in the Cole Family, unrecognized.
He was like her; why make things harder for him?
"Hmph, I just couldn’t swallow the anger," Hayley Cole snorted, speaking resentfully, "Whether the Seymour Family accepts you or not, you’ve ticulously prepared your gift. Even if it’s a guest bringing a gift, the host family should express their thanks, right."
"Moreover, Jas is still a child of the Seymour Family, giving gifts according to their preferences. It’s their earnest intention, better than so people who bring nothing, just showing up empty-handed?" Hayley Cole said, casting a aningful glance at Charles Seymour, "After all, as a guest, I ca bearing gifts."
Sophie Wilson, who was just not smiling, raised her brow. Oh wow, speaking about Jas Reed was one thing, but now she’s even bringing her Mr. Seymour into this.
Who gave Hayley Cole the audacity?
Right in front of her, daring to talk about her man!
If soone bullies her to this extent, how could Sophie Wilson not respond?
"Miss Cole, what’s the aning of your glance toward ?" Sophie Wilson asked with a faint smile, looking at Hayley Cole, "Are you saying we haven’t given a gift?"
"Isn’t that the case?" Hayley Cole retorted sarcastically, "Jas has offered such carefully selected gifts, yet you haven’t shown any gesture at all? Could it be you weren’t prepared?"
"How do you know we weren’t prepared?" Sophie Wilson asked amusingly.
"Why haven’t you given it if you were prepared? Feeling your gift isn’t as good as Jas’, so you’re embarrassed to present it?" Hayley Cole laughed coldly, "Of course, Jas painstakingly found an antique calligraphy and painting that Old Mr. Seymour loves; other gifts would pale in comparison to this."
"If you can’t co up with sothing better, I understand. After all, Charles Seymour is recognized as Old Mr. Seymour’s grandson, unlike Jas, who has to tread carefully." Hayley Cole’s words were tinged with sour resentnt, seeing Jas’ situation and completely inserting herself into it.
Whether she’s speaking for Jas or venting her own grievances was unclear.
"We’d love to give a gift, but sadly, soone beat us to it, didn’t they?" Sophie Wilson was not buying Hayley Cole’s provocations and directly countered, "Nevertheless, Jas Reed is younger than my Mr. Seymour; even in gift-giving, he should line up after Mr. Seymour."
"It’s a pity, my Mr. Seymour is so unfortunate, not even favored by his own father. Letting this ’brother’ beat him to everything. But my Mr. Seymour is used to it; he doesn’t mind once or twice." Sophie Wilson’s words were like invisible slaps resounding on Ethan Seymour’s face.
When giving gifts, you should mind the order of age; the elder brother Charles hasn’t given his gift, yet Jas steps ahead to give one to Old Mr. Seymour. What’s the aning of this?
This is clearly trying to bypass Charles Seymour and curry favor with Old Mr. Seymour.
And why try to please Old Mr. Seymour? Isn’t it obvious to everyone? It’s all for the inheritance of the Seymour Corporation.
