"Dad, I'm sorry." James Reed hung his head in discomfort. "But I can't let Ophelia face this alone. She did it all for me. Worst case... I'll leave Seymour Corporation."
"I'll beat you, you bastard!" Ethan Seymour cursed at James for the first time in his life, showing just how truly angry he was.
"Hey, hey..." Charlotte Reed hurried over to wrap her arms around Ethan Seymour, simultaneously admonishing James, "Get out of my sight!"
Seeing the situation turning ugly, James quickly ran off, hastily throwing out one last line: "Dad, I'm sorry."
"I'll beat him, that bastard. Is he trying to make me furious?" Ethan Seymour didn't truly intend to hit James; otherwise, how could Charlotte Reed possibly have stopped him?
He was genuinely angry, nonetheless.
"I'll talk it over with James. Don't get yourself worked up." Charlotte Reed sighed heavily, "The boy is too stubborn."
