This was the intuition he had developed over a long period of training.

So, he came to find James Reed because he wanted to talk to him.

"Does Manager Cole have something to discuss with me?" James Reed looked at Jason Cole innocently, "I’m just about to pack up and leave."

"Stay away from Hayley Cole!" Jason Cole stated his purpose bluntly, "The Cole Family isn’t something you can take advantage of."

James Reed was taken aback for a moment, then gave a helpless, wry smile: "Manager Cole, I think you misunderstood."

"I never intended to approach Hayley, it just happened a few times. Hayley is a nice girl..."

"Since you know she’s a nice girl, don’t harm her!" Jason Cole reprimanded harshly.

No matter what, Hayley Cole was his mother’s daughter.

He didn’t want to see his mother hurt, and since he couldn’t communicate with Hayley, he could only deal with the people around her.

"Manager Cole, I really think you’ve misunderstood." James Reed sighed softly, shaking his head helplessly, "I really have no intention of using Hayley. We’re just good friends, and besides, Hayley is already an adult, she has her own judgment and the freedom to make friends."

Jason Cole’s brows furrowed tightly, forming an angry "川" character. He truly hadn’t expected James Reed to be even more shameless and cunning than his investigations suggested.

"James Reed, even if you get close to Hayley Cole, you won’t gain any benefits from the Cole Family!" Jason Cole bluntly exposed James Reed’s intentions, telling him not to harbor any delusions in the future!

"Rest assured, Manager Cole, you’ll find out that your worries are unfounded." James Reed said uprightly.

Jason Cole fixed his gaze on James Reed, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

"You better do as you say!" Jason Cole threw out this remark and then turned and strode away.

James Reed snorted with laughter, pressing a hand to his chest. Jason Cole’s presence was indeed intimidating; his legs had even gone a bit weak just now.

But unfortunately, Jason Cole was just a brainless brute.

What he said about Jason Cole’s worries being unfounded wasn’t because he intended to give up, but because the future developments were not something Jason Cole could control.

Hayley Cole was the prey he had carefully chosen for a long time. He had set the traps step by step, and now that the prey was finally caught, would he really let the prize slip away?

If he did, he wouldn’t deserve to be in this game anymore—too incompetent!

Just as James Reed was about to turn and leave, a sudden thought flashed through his mind, stopping his steps. Why did Jason Cole’s presence feel somewhat familiar? It seemed he had sensed a similar aura from Charles Seymour before.

"How could it be the same?" James Reed mocked himself with a laugh, turned around, and went back to his place to pack up.

Charles Seymour was in training camp back then, but he left after a few years.

How could someone like Charles Seymour be anything like Jason Cole?

No matter if Jason Cole was brainless or not, he was at least a manager. What was Charles Seymour?

Even if there were relationships in the training camp, they were through their uncle.

Besides, when Charles Seymour was in the training camp, his uncle hadn’t left yet, and Charles hadn’t made any notable achievements.

He was really overthinking.

He was just unwilling.

Why was it Sophie Wilson and her team who won the bid?

Especially in the conference hall, watching the radiant Sophie Wilson, he just wanted to pounce on her, to silence her incessant chatter with a kiss.
