CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 372: OLD ACQUAINTANCE

"What should we do?" Charlotte Reed said worriedly, "That old guy has a lot of authority in the Seymour Corporation."

"No matter how much authority he has, it’s not as important as interests," James Reed said with a smile, "Mom, I’ve arranged a meeting with someone from Peace Corporation the day after tomorrow."

"Really?" Charlotte Reed’s eyes lit up at hearing this, "Son, you’re really capable!"

Word had spread that many people were eyeing the partnership with Peace Corporation this time, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.

In Imperial City, not only the three Seymour, Clark, and White Families, other corporations also wanted to get involved.

James Reed smiled slightly, as long as he secured this partnership, his status in Seymour Corporation would change, and by then, what would that old guy count for?

"Mom, you should persuade Dad. Then let Dad talk to that old guy early about my engagement with Ophelia. If he shows up at my engagement, it will let the Wilson Clan know how much I value Ophelia." James Reed had his plans.

Only by establishing a marital alliance with the Wilson Clan could he defeat Clark and White Families and become the one to finally partner with Peace Corporation.

"Okay, I know what to do, don’t worry." Charlotte Reed had lived with Ethan Seymour for so many years, how could she not know how to coax him?

Especially for her son’s matters, Charlotte Reed would exert all her efforts.

"Benjamin, why haven’t you left work yet?" Emerie Wilson looked at the time, it was already past seven.

Benjamin had promised to leave work early to spend time with her today, but what time was it now, how could his words not count?

Sophie Wilson bullied her, how could Benjamin also bully her?

After what happened yesterday, her mom even rushed over to be with her.

Her mom just left today, and she’s feeling upset, so what’s wrong with asking Benjamin to come back early to be with her?

Isn’t that reasonable?

Why doesn’t Benjamin come back early?

"There is a little issue here, I’ll be back later, don’t worry, have dinner first. I’ll hang up now." Benjamin Walton quickly hung up the phone.

Benjamin Walton’s attitude made Emerie Wilson so angry that she tossed her phone aside and abruptly pushed open the car door, stomping on her high heels towards the elevator.

She wanted to see, just what urgent matter at Benjamin Walton’s company was more important than her!

Upon arriving at the company, Emerie Wilson was even more infuriated.

The company was empty, only the corridor lights were still on.

Benjamin Walton actually deceived her!

Everyone had left work, was he the only one working overtime?

The more she thought about it, the angrier Emerie Wilson got, charging furiously to the door of Benjamin Walton’s office and pushing it open, yelling, "Benjamin Walton!"

To her surprise, the room wasn’t what she imagined, with some sultry woman, but instead, a man, a man she absolutely didn’t want to see—Stephen Wilson.

"Emerie, why are you here?" Benjamin Walton asked in surprise, standing up from his chair and walking over quickly, speaking in a low voice.

Emerie Wilson snapped out of her shock, stammering, "I-I was worried about you, didn’t know what happened, so I-I came to see."

"There’s nothing here, you should go back first. I’ll return once I’m done, don’t worry." Benjamin Walton said, protectively enclosing Emerie Wilson, urging her out.

Emerie Wilson nodded repeatedly, and was going to leave.

Unfortunately, Stephen Wilson wasn’t going to let this opportunity slip, saying cynically, "Emerie, since you’re here, let’s chat a bit. After all, we know each other well, no need to be so heartless, right?"
