Sophie Wilson burst into laughter, looking at Hayley Cole amusingly, and asked, "Miss Cole, where did you get that idea from? How can you bla Ethan Seymour’s infidelity and marrying his mistress on ? You’re really good at twisting the facts, aren’t you?"
Ethan Seymour furrowed his brows, about to scold, but at the mont he was about to speak, he froze.
Because Charles Seymour raised his head, his eyes, devoid of any emotion, looked over. Those deep black pupils resembled black pearls soaked in a cold pool, chilling his body rigid.
At this mont, Jas Reed quietly tugged at Ethan Seymour, softly advising, "Dad, don’t upset Grandpa."
"Alright." Ethan Seymour seed to take Jas Reed’s advice, only then relenting without speaking rudely, for he was genuinely apprehensive at that mont.
Sohow, the gaze from that little bastard was so frightening. Indeed, a beast remains a beast, not sothing human!
"Talking about all that is pointless." Hayley Cole sneered, her mind in a chaotic ss. Even though she didn’t want to admit it, she understood very well that she couldn’t out-talk Sophie Wilson. Since that was the case, she aid straight for Sophie’s most vulnerable point, "Where’s your birthday gift?"
"Don’t think about fooling us with the store’s treasure from Lingzhu Jade!" Hayley Cole said harshly.
"I even took out the store treasure as a birthday gift, and you still say it’s fooling?" Sophie Wilson looked at Hayley Cole in shock and asked, "Miss Cole, are your expectations for birthday gifts that high?"
"You can’t be so biased. Jas Reed brought out such antique calligraphy for you, and you thought it was thoughtful. But when I present sothing, you think it’s a trick, isn’t that unfair?"
"What’s unfair about that, you..."
"Of course, it’s unfair." Sophie Wilson interrupted Hayley Cole, shaking her head in anguish, "An antique painting is just a single piece, but there are still plenty of items of the sa level. That ’Longing’ is one of a kind in the world, how could it not be as good as a painting?"
Sophie Wilson was about to die from injustice, while Hayley Cole was about to be infuriated to death by her!
"Sophie Wilson, don’t twist the facts. Is ’Longing’ yours? That’s the store treasure of Lingzhu Jade, have so decency, will you?" While scolding Sophie Wilson, Hayley Cole turned her gaze to Patrick Grant and asked, "Mr. Grant, are you going to just watch this silently?"
As soon as Hayley Cole finished speaking, everyone ca to their senses. Yes, the actual manager of Lingzhu Jade is here, and he’s the most authoritative on this matter.
Patrick Grant couldn’t help but laugh when he saw all eyes on him and said, "I really have nothing to say."
"Right? You’ve never seen anyone so shalessly claiming ownership right in front of the original owner, have you?" Hayley Cole said triumphantly.
"After all, Sophie Wilson is my boss." No sooner had Hayley Cole finished speaking than Patrick Grant’s leisurely comnt left the entire banquet hall in utter silence, where you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone felt a buzzing in their heads, as if struck forcefully with a hamr, their brains shaking into a chaotic mush, utterly incapable of analyzing the precise aning within Patrick Grant’s words just now.
In the midst of this chaos, they could only seize a few fragnted words, barely forming a question in their mind—Just now, did he, did he say what?
