As the second Young Master of the Smith Family, he doesn’t need to please anyone. As a child, people tried to please him; as an adult, people still tried to please him, leaving no room to develop any emotional intelligence.
Moreover, being engrossed in his research, Edward handles other matters, and he doesn’t need to et people, which led to his "my way or the highway" personality.
Once he believes sothing is right, he won’t compromise.
No matter the occasion, if he feels hostility towards soone, he’ll express it unreservedly.
Like now, he originally didn’t want to co to recognize Helen lendy as his sister, his heart filled with anger. Only fearing his elder brother’s anger towards Olivia forced him to co.
But once here, whether he’s willing to go out of his way to please this sister, that’s beyond his elder brother’s control now.
Seeing Olivia so aggrieved, his anger towards Helen lendy intensified, so much that after Olivia greeted Helen lendy, he directly sat down beside Charles Smith with a sullen face.
Charles Smith and Evelyn Taylor’s full attention was on Helen lendy, completely missing Thomas Smith’s reaction, but Edward noticed it.
His gaze abruptly cooled, landing on Thomas Smith’s calm face, his eyes deepened.
Then, he subtly shifted his gaze towards Olivia next to Evelyn Taylor. Her brows were lowered, eyes still filled with tears, as if soone had given her a colossal grievance.
Seeing Olivia like this, Edward understood where Thomas Smith’s sudden expression ca from.
This woman is cunning and manipulative; as long as she shows a hint of grievance, she doesn’t need to do anything, and soone will feel wrong on her behalf.
Only fools like Thomas Smith would be so easily fooled by her.
Olivia, regardless of whether she was innocently swapped, cannot remain in the Smith Family, trying to sow discord in their family.
He doesn’t want his hard-found biological sister to encounter unnecessary trouble because of such a person.
The coldness in Edward’s eyes intensified, causing the originally downcast Olivia to shiver and subconsciously raise her eyes to glance at Edward.
By this ti, Edward had already withdrawn his gaze before her, so Olivia didn’t see the chilling and rciless light gathering in Edward’s eyes.
Previously, the interaction at the door made Helen lendy feel instantly closer to her family.
Evelyn Taylor felt both happy and sowhat at a loss, not due to nervousness but because she didn’t know the best attitude to use to face her daughter.
At this mont, the driver had already brought in the gifts, and Edward went over to receive them, and the driver exited.
Evelyn Taylor hurriedly received her gift from Edward, took out a precious gift with intricate craftsmanship, where just the box alone costs millions, and presented it to Helen lendy, saying:
"l... Helen, this is a eting gift from Mom to you. Open and see, if you like it."
She spoke with an expectant look, as if fearing she’d refuse.
It’s usually impolite to open gifts in front of guests, but Helen lendy, seeing Evelyn Taylor’s expectant gaze, naturally couldn’t bear to refuse, and thus accepted it with both hands, slowly opening it in front of everyone.
It was a sapphire necklace sparkling with resplendent brilliance, deep blue, pure blue, dazzling blue.
