CHAPTER 477: CHAPTER 477: ARRIVED AT THE HOTEL

James Reed’s words only fueled more anger in Ethan Seymour’s heart: "Do I need him to come home? I cut ties with him a long time ago. Doesn’t he want to disgust us? Then let him suffer the consequences! Let’s see whose reputation is tarnished when no one attends his engagement banquet!"

After venting his anger, Ethan Seymour saw that James Reed was about to speak and glared at him fiercely, snapping, "Don’t plead on his behalf anymore!"

James Reed’s mouth moved slightly, but in the end, he could only agree helplessly, "I understand, Dad."

"Alright, just focus on your engagement banquet. It’s going to be live-streamed soon, make sure nothing goes wrong," Ethan Seymour advised.

Did that bastard Charles Seymour think that he could lure him in with such schemes?

He come over voluntarily?

Charles Seymour’s calculations were wrong; he wouldn’t do it!

Isn’t Charles Seymour always so tough?

He wanted to see if Charles Seymour would be humiliated when his engagement banquet was held without him!

Ethan Seymour couldn’t help but raise his voice when he saw James Reed about to speak again, "What now?"

This son of his was good in every way, except for his soft heart, always yielding to that beast.

Did James really think that beast would appreciate his kindness?

Some people are simply beyond pity.

"Dad, grandpa and grandma haven’t arrived yet," James Reed reminded softly.

"They should be on their way; it’s not time yet," Ethan Seymour replied.

"But... hmm, let’s wait a bit longer then." James Reed obviously swallowed back his words and said something else instead, making Ethan Seymour quite uncomfortable, "Just say what you want to say, why are you hesitating?"

"I was thinking, will grandpa and grandma go to big brother’s place?" James Reed said and then felt he had said too much, awkwardly laughing, "Actually, since mom and dad are with me, it’s okay if grandpa and grandma go to big brother’s..."

"Okay for what?" Ethan Seymour angrily interrupted James Reed, "Your grandparents promised to attend your engagement banquet today. I’ll go check at the entrance."

"Dad, if grandpa and grandma go to big brother’s, don’t argue with them, alright? Don’t upset them," James Reed hurriedly urged Ethan Seymour.

"You!" Ethan Seymour gestured in the air, both angry and appreciative, scolding, "Even now, you’re still thinking of others, really... you kid."

James Reed smiled, saying nothing more, and his understanding and considerate demeanor made Ethan Seymour quite satisfied.

He said to Old Mrs. Wilson, "Please rest here for a while. I’m going to see if my parents have arrived."

"Alright," Old Mrs. Wilson nodded in acknowledgment.

Ethan Seymour hurriedly left the venue, simultaneously dialing Old Mr. Seymour’s phone. As soon as the call connected, he impatiently asked, "Dad, where are you?"

"In the parking lot of the Imperial Hotel." Old Mr. Seymour’s words made Ethan Seymour sigh in relief, "You’re finally here. I’ll come downstairs to pick you up."

"No need," Old Mr. Seymour refused.

"Why not? I’ll pick you up, so you don’t have to show the invitation," Ethan Seymour said.

The engagement banquet was invitation-only, otherwise, wouldn’t anyone be able to sneak in?

That would be chaotic.

"Invitation?" Old Mr. Seymour asked in confusion.
