Ophelia Wilson’s malice left James Reed deeply affected. Even during the interview, he appeared listless: "Ophelia made a mistake. I believe she will sincerely repent inside. Once she comes out, I will accompany her and make up for the silly things she did."

After garnering goodwill, James Reed noticed Albert Fletcher approaching. He walked over and apologized: "Brother Fletcher, I apologize on behalf of Ophelia."

Albert Fletcher glanced at James Reed and said, "Mr. Reed, no need to be so formal. I should be thanking you."

"Thanking me?" James Reed was taken aback. This time, he was genuinely puzzled.

"Thank you for handing me the evidence of Ophelia Wilson’s crimes. This allowed me to find the culprit and mastermind from back then." Albert Fletcher’s words made James Reed’s face change, shocked, he asked, "Brother Fletcher, what did you say?"

Albert Fletcher replied strangely, "Wasn’t it you who sent me the evidence of Ophelia Wilson hiring someone to hit my parents back then?"

The surrounding reporters understood clearly that the evidence against Ophelia Wilson was provided to Albert Fletcher by James Reed?

"Mr. Reed, why did you do such a thing?"

"Mr. Reed, do you truly love Ophelia Wilson or are you just putting on an act?"

The reporters bombarded James Reed with questions, leaving him vulnerable. His mind was in turmoil, wondering how Albert Fletcher knew he provided the evidence?

Luckily, James Reed’s reaction was quick. After a brief shock, he painfully said, "I love Ophelia, but I couldn’t bear to watch her make mistake after mistake, so... I had no choice but to prioritize justice over family ties."

"I will wait for her to come out. By that time..." James Reed continued to express his deep affection, but a nearby reporter suddenly asked, "Why didn’t you directly advise Ophelia Wilson to confess if you had evidence?"

"If she confessed, Ophelia Wilson might have received a lighter sentence. Mr. Reed, why didn’t you do that and instead gave the evidence to Albert Fletcher? What were you really thinking?"

James Reed was instantly bewildered by the questioning.

At this moment, he couldn’t find a reason and could only flee in embarrassment amid the crowd of reporters.

This abrupt turn of events was truthfully posted online, causing an uproar among netizens.

James Reed’s deep lover persona dramatically collapsed.

"Is he eager to get rid of Ophelia Wilson?"

"Ophelia Wilson is detestable, but James Reed is no good either! So shameless!"

"No wonder their relationship is so good; truly, they’re a pair!"

The direct impact of James Reed’s incident was driving the Seymour Corporation board members mad: "We absolutely cannot keep him!" 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

"With him here, what reputation will the company have in the future?"

"We shouldn’t let one person affect the entire company’s interests."

Ethan Seymour listened to the board members’ chatter, face turning green with anger. He slammed the table, rebuking: "I disagree!"

"It’s useless if you disagree." Ralap Lee sneered, "We’ve agreed."

"With so many board members here, can’t we even move a single manager?" Ralap Lee’s words made the other board members nod continuously.

"Don’t overdo it!" Ethan Seymour knew he was at a disadvantage now, "I want to see who dares to touch James!"

"I do!" A cold voice came from the meeting room door, shocking Ethan Seymour who jumped directly from his chair, staring incredulously at the person, with his lips trembling uncontrollably.
