Hayley Cole couldn’t help but angrily shout, "Sophie Wilson, who are you being sarcastic about?"

Sophie Wilson sighed helplessly and said, "Miss Cole, you’re really hard to please, aren’t you? Nothing works, what exactly do you want?"

"Why don’t you create a world of your own, so you’ll be satisfied."

"Sophie Wilson, you’re the one looking for trouble! Do you think by bullying me like this, I’ll let you go?" Hayley Cole’s anger surged, wishing she could tear Sophie Wilson’s foul mouth to pieces. Then let’s see what she’ll use to speak and provoke.

"Whatever." Sophie Wilson said nonchalantly, "It’s just that, I think Chairman Cole wouldn’t like his stepdaughter going around causing trouble and doing illegal things."

The word "stepdaughter" in Sophie Wilson’s line deeply pricked Hayley Cole’s fragile nerves. She screamed and was about to rush at Sophie Wilson.

Fortunately, James Reed quickly caught her and whispered soothingly in her ear, "Hayley, don’t be impulsive, don’t be impulsive."

After soothing Hayley Cole, James Reed cast a reproachful look at Sophie Wilson’s face, and said sternly, "Miss Wilson, losing her father and having her mother remarry isn’t Hayley’s fault. I hope you don’t stab her heart."

Sophie Wilson smiled and agreed, "Right, those aren’t her faults. But, her going out to provoke others is her problem."

"If she didn’t come looking for trouble with me first, I absolutely wouldn’t reveal her scars. This situation now, she brought it upon herself!"

Sympathy is for those who are worthy of it, for those who aren’t... Sorry, she’s always out of stock on that kind of sympathy.

"Sophie Wilson, do you think your bid will win? I’ll tell you, with me here, don’t even think about winning the bid!" Hayley Cole yelled furiously, almost splitting her voice.

Sophie Wilson, however, wasn’t angry or anxious. Instead, she looked at her with a calm smile and said leisurely, "Oh, if it doesn’t win, it doesn’t win. My family has money, it doesn’t matter. I’m here just for fun, what? Is that not okay?"

Edward Palmer coughed from behind, using the cough to cover up his almost burst of laughter.

Their boss really knew how to provoke people.

Didn’t you see how Hayley Cole’s face had changed?

Her breathing was heavy, her body trembling, after being provoked by their boss like this, she might just faint directly.

Sophie Wilson raised her chin slightly at James Reed, ordering proudly, "Step aside, don’t block the way. You should at least have some basic decency, right?"

James Reed squinted slightly, looking at Sophie Wilson’s proud little figure, feeling like someone was scratching him repeatedly inside.

He really wanted to pull her into his arms, fiercely bite that clever little mouth.

The taste must be good.

James Reed lowered his eyes, concealing his thoughts, and slightly stepped aside with Hayley Cole, clearing the way for Sophie Wilson and her group.

Just after Sophie Wilson passed, she suddenly stopped, turned her head, and looked at Hayley Cole in confusion, asking, "Hey, Miss Cole, announcing loudly whether the bid wins or not is all up to your mood, is that really okay? Is there really some dirty trick in this bidding?"

"You..." Hayley Cole was so angry that her lips trembled, seemingly about to burst a blood vessel.

"Ah, I’m so stupid." Sophie Wilson slapped her forehead and said in sudden realization, "Don’t say it’s you, even your stepfather wouldn’t dare do that. Moreover, someone as upright as Chairman Cole wouldn’t allow you to do such disgraceful things, right?"
