Rebirth: Clinging to My Possessive Magnate

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Disillusioned Collapse

As soon as Jacob Smith saw Ethan Seymour crowding over like that, his expression immediately switched to a polite fake smile, spreading his hands as he spoke in English, "Excuse me, do you speak English? My Chinese isn’t very good."

The crowd looked on in disbelief at Nelson playing dumb, was the ghost who was just now joking and bantering with Sophie Wilson?

Now claiming his Chinese isn’t good, does he take them for fools?

Can the head of the Nelson family just lie through his teeth like this?

Facts proved he certainly could.

Ethan Seymour laughed and explained, "I am Charles Seymour’s father."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jacob Smith’s expression finally changed, with a bit of sincerity coloring his polite fake smile. Before he could speak, he heard Sophie Wilson snort, "Jacob Smith, are you an idiot? You believe whatever people say, how old are you?"

These words of admonishing a child made those around gasp.

Jacob Smith?

Who is this?

Could it be Nelson’s Chinese name?

"It’s still Sophie this and Sophie that, Sophie, I can count on you from now on." Jacob Smith immediately shuffled over to Sophie Wilson’s side, avoiding Ethan Seymour like the plague.

Ethan Seymour was so angry that smoke seemed to be coming out of his head.

Even knows what ’count on’ means, and then tells me his Chinese isn’t good?

"Be good now." Sophie Wilson patted Jacob Smith’s shoulder, turned to glance at Ethan Seymour, and asked rather smugly, "Mr. Ethan Seymour, are my connections decent enough for you?"

With a single sentence, Ethan Seymour’s face turned completely black.

The people around recalled Ethan Seymour constantly saying Sophie Wilson had no clout, that the friends she knew couldn’t be considered friends, and couldn’t help but snicker.

His face was slapped so quickly, Ethan Seymour’s old face was truly swollen beyond recognition.

"However, I always feel that friends don’t differentiate between high and low." Sophie Wilson smiled faintly and peacefully said, "I can’t agree with your standards for making friends."

"I’m leaving." Sophie Wilson turned on her heel, and Charles Seymour immediately followed.

With their daughter and son-in-law gone, Mason Wilson and Clarissa Taylor naturally had no reason to stay.

As soon as they departed, the expressions of the guests around changed, and before they could react, they heard Nelson hurriedly call out, "Sophie, wait for me."

Is he leaving too?

Chloe White panicked and quickly tried to persuade, "Mr. Smith, you..."

Her words were abruptly cut off by Jacob Smith’s icy sharp gaze, and he warned in elegant English without a trace of emotion, "Apart from Sophie and her friends, no one may use my Chinese name."

Chloe White’s breath caught, feeling somewhat at a loss.

Gary edged closer, smiling as he said, "Boss, this is the host of this party..."

Without Sophie Wilson, Jacob Smith was far from being soft or easygoing, he gave Gary a casual glance and said, "You think I’d come to this party without Sophie?"

Jacob Smith’s cold words were translated by another boss around them, making the guests’ expressions increasingly bizarre and prompting some to eye Ethan Seymour.

Earlier, he was bent on belittling Sophie Wilson, did this slap teach him a lesson in humility?

"Sophie, wait for me." Jacob Smith called out, disregarding his image, quickened his pace to catch up with Sophie Wilson, and everyone watched as the formerly noble and cool Nelson family head flattered Sophie Wilson with skittish smiles.

Everyone exchanged glances, seeing the same shattered and disillusioned expressions in each other’s eyes.
