Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 804: From Passive to Active

Charlotte Reed’s words brought a helpless bitter smile to James Reed’s face: "Then, we’ll just have to play it by ear."

"What... what should we do now?" Charlotte Reed suddenly burst into tears. They had endured so much in the Seymour Family for years, and just when it seemed they were about to succeed, how could things fall apart at this point?

"Mom, it’s going to be okay." James Reed held Charlotte Reed’s hand, comforting her, "I’ll find another way to deal with Hayley Cole; she won’t get away."

The prey he had set his sights on surely wouldn’t escape.

"Let’s have the lawyer figure something out. I’ll meet with Dad." James Reed said.

"Alright, alright." Charlotte Reed nodded, believing that her son would certainly come up with a solution.

In the hospital room, Ophelia Wilson groggily woke up, not yet understanding where she was, when she heard Chaya Davis exclaim: "Ophelia, Ophelia, you’re finally awake! Are you feeling unwell? I’ll call the doctor!"

After the doctor finished examining her and confirmed that Ophelia Wilson was fine, she sadly asked, "Mom, didn’t James come? Didn’t you notify him?"

"He still has some decency." Chaya Davis snorted and said, "Last night when Ethan Seymour came over, I called James Reed. Just after Ethan Seymour pushed you down, he arrived. He called the ambulance and came to the hospital with you."

Hearing this, Ophelia Wilson finally felt a sense of relief, but still a bit disappointed, she asked, "What about James?"

"He went to the police station." Chaya Davis sneered, "I called the police; Ethan Seymour was arrested!"

"What... oh..." Ophelia Wilson, getting excited, tried to sit up, but her injury flared up, and she cried out in pain.

"Oh dear, why are you getting worked up? Don’t move, lie down!" Chaya Davis, startled, hurriedly helped Ophelia Wilson lie down.

"Mom, how could you call the police? That’s James’s father!" Ophelia Wilson was on the verge of panic, "If that’s the case, how can I marry James?"

Seeing Ophelia Wilson nearly in tears, Chaya Davis instead laughed: "My silly daughter, only like this can you marry James!"

"Huh?" Ophelia Wilson looked at Chaya Davis, baffled, unable to immediately comprehend her mother’s words.

"Now, whether Ethan Seymour is guilty or not is entirely up to you. Will you say Ethan Seymour tried to kill you, or did you accidentally slip?" Chaya Davis smiled meaningfully at Ophelia Wilson, "My daughter, this is your great chance!"

Ophelia Wilson slowly began to understand and nodded repeatedly: "Mom, you’re amazing."

Now, they could shift from being passive to taking the initiative.

She knew what to do next.

"...Dad, do you understand?" James Reed finally had a chance to meet with Ethan Seymour and explained all the stakes to him before asking.

"You still want to marry that trash!" Ethan Seymour was so angry he could hardly breathe.

"Dad, if I don’t marry her now, you’ll be the one to suffer in the end. Do you want me to just watch you go to prison? I can’t do it!" James Reed said, choking up, "Dad, I promise you, even if we get married, within a year, within a year, I’ll definitely divorce Ophelia Wilson, okay?"

"Dad, don’t you like Hayley Cole? By then, when I’m divorced, can I pursue her?" James Reed looked as if he’d do anything to please Ethan Seymour.
