Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate-Chapter 832: Still Acting

James Reed flipped through his phone records and saw that during the time it was turned off, Hayley Cole had called and texted quite a lot. It seems she was really worried about him.

Hayley Cole is truly hooked now.

As long as he delays the news of the divorce a bit and cooperates, his persona definitely won’t collapse.

James Reed calculated carefully. Although Ophelia Wilson’s video made him a bit embarrassed, he had expected it. It was just released a little later than he had planned, which made him nervous for a moment.

Fortunately, the final result was good.

Not only could he completely get rid of Ophelia Wilson, but he also managed to hook Hayley Cole. This way, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger, and everything would be resolved. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

What seemed like a crisis for him was actually his greatest opportunity.

"You did a great job today!" George Reed smiled as he patted Julian Campbell on the shoulder. "Your emotions were spot on. I truly didn’t expect you to interpret the role of someone deeply affected so well!"

Julian Campbell silently turned to look at George Reed.

George Reed: "..."

Did he say something wrong?

Why did Julian Campbell have such a strange look in his eyes?

"Go home and rest early. You have a half-day off tomorrow morning, and I’ll pick you up in the afternoon," George Reed said.

Julian Campbell spoke up: "Take me to my uncle’s house."

"Alright." George Reed nodded and told the driver to change the route.

Julian Campbell entered Charles Seymour’s house and went upstairs, silently watching his uncle and aunt.

His dark eyes were full of resentment, making Sophie Wilson’s heart feel uneasy: "Are you... okay?"

"Today I played a role. Originally, I couldn’t grasp the feeling of being deeply affected..." Julian Campbell said in a flat, lifeless tone, "After the phone call, the director was very satisfied with my performance!"

Sophie Wilson: "..."

It seems she accidentally pushed this kid too far.

Charles Seymour glanced up at Julian Campbell: "So, did you come over specifically to thank us?"

Julian Campbell: "..."

Director, I can still act!

Lifeless!

Worse than death!

He could perform it all to the extreme!

Sophie Wilson looked at Julian Campbell’s conflicted expression and couldn’t help but lightly tap Charles Seymour’s arm, signaling him not to bully the kid anymore. Seeing him bullied to the brink of collapse was enough.

A flicker of amusement passed through Charles Seymour’s eyes. He reached out, rubbed Sophie Wilson’s head, and asked Julian Campbell: "Have you eaten? If not, eat here."

Finally, amidst the stormy stimulus, Julian Campbell felt a hint of familial warmth.

Uncle... isn’t entirely "bad" after all.

Just as Julian Campbell was thinking this, Charles Seymour’s phone rang. He picked it up, listened for a while, and then said, "I know, yes, you don’t need to worry about this. Okay, yes."

After Charles Seymour hung up, he looked at Sophie Wilson and said: "James Reed and Ophelia Wilson are divorced."

"What?" Upon hearing the news, even before Sophie Wilson could react, Julian Campbell was the first to explode, "How did the two of them end up divorced?"

After shouting, Julian Campbell suddenly found that his uncle and aunt were remarkably calm. Er... was he overreacting?

"Well, don’t you regret it?" Julian Campbell awkwardly and confusedly asked, "You prepared so much, and they just managed to register. Now they suddenly got divorced. Wasn’t all that effort wasted?"

I’m not wrong to think this way, right?

Why did his aunt’s smile make him feel... a chill?
