The team leaders chuckled together; they all wanted this opportunity.

Do they really think a dignified chairman is so free?

He just came over yesterday for a bit of fun; there’s no way he’d keep guiding them.

The next day, those bidding were not in a good mood, tense since morning, constantly glancing around as if they had x-ray vision, capable of seeing through thick brick walls to know the results of the bidding.

In contrast to their nerves, Hayley Cole seemed like she’d already received the notification of winning the bid. She was so smug, chattering nonstop around James Reed.

She introduced the situation inside the training camp to James Reed, who listened with a smile.

Seeing Hayley Cole like this, many company representatives had quite complex expressions.

Yet Hayley Cole acted as if she didn’t notice, flaunting incessantly, almost having "I know someone" written on her forehead.

By afternoon, everyone headed to the largest conference room in the building.

Finally gathered together, they announced the results.

Sophie Wilson had just entered when she was blocked; she amusedly looked at Hayley Cole, saying nothing.

The nearby people from other companies all quieted down; they naturally knew about the entangled grievances between James Reed, Charles Seymour, and Sophie Wilson, and now Hayley Cole was chasing after James Reed... This was going to be lively.

Not to mention anything else, just this bidding alone—how much effort Hayley Cole put in, who didn’t know? 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Many from different companies secretly felt glad that their company’s business was different from Wilson Corporation and Sophie Wilson’s company, otherwise, even normal bidding wouldn’t be possible.

"Sophie Wilson, you’re quite something," Hayley Cole spoke first when she saw Sophie Wilson silent, "I heard your fiancé stole the spotlight at the training camp yesterday."

Facing Hayley Cole’s provocation, how could Sophie Wilson back down?

"Yeah, my Mr. Seymour is just that capable. Jealous?" Sophie Wilson smiled sweetly at Hayley Cole, almost driving her mad with a single sentence.

Hayley Cole’s face immediately darkened, snorting coldly, "Do you think I’m like you, relying on my man to forge connections?"

"Of course you don’t need to; you don’t have a man." Sophie Wilson remained unfazed, but her laughing words were sharp, attacking Hayley Cole’s vulnerabilities.

Edward Palmer quietly turned his head; his boss was really impressive.

Why hadn’t he noticed before how deft his boss was with words?

Truly grown.

Hayley Cole gritted her chest angrily upon hearing this.

Sophie Wilson was truly excessive!

Talking like that.

Her most distressing issue now was that James Reed still wouldn’t accept her as his girlfriend.

Did Sophie Wilson have to poke at her sorest spot?

Was she still human?

"I’m not like you, depending on others for everything. I find it strange, without Charles Seymour, what are you?" Hayley Cole took a deep breath, suppressing her inner pain, sarcastically mocking.

"Not much," Sophie Wilson amusingly replied, "I’m just the boss of a renovation company and a jewelry company, not much ability, can’t compare to Miss Cole."

Sophie Wilson’s words made those around from other companies stifle laughter.

Let’s not mention the renovation company, but the jewelry company boss—no one can surpass that.

To know the good sources of the jewelry, not just anyone can find them.
