The bitter smile on her face made Hayley Cole feel heartbroken. Thinking of how she has always lived cautiously in the Cole Family, she felt a strong sense of empathy that made her lose all reason.
"James, they don't welcome you, so why bother trying to please those who snub you? Let's go!" Hayley Cole shouted angrily, "I've never seen anything like this!"
"Yeah, we've never seen guests come to add discomfort to the host," Sophie Wilson sneered sarcastically.
Hayley Cole's face turned blue with anger, just as she was about to curse, a gentle female voice asked in surprise, "James, what's going on?"
Ophelia Wilson walked over, her gaze quickly shifting to Hayley Cole's hand holding James Reed's arm, a flash of coldness gleaming in her eyes.
What is Hayley Cole doing holding James?
"Why aren't you going in?" Ophelia Wilson asked in confusion.
James Reed said nothing, only shook his head bitterly, as if someone had wronged him, making him suffer in silence.
