"How could I get lost here?" Hayley Cole tapped the ground with her toes, her mood gloomy and listless, head hanging, "Jas, I’m sorry I couldn’t help you this ti with the bid."
"Don’t say that." Jas Reed chuckled, "This wasn’t your decision. It’s because those people misunderstood you, which turned our bid into a losing one."
"It has nothing to do with you." The more indifferent Jas Reed was in comforting her, the more upset Hayley Cole felt inside, "Even if you didn’t win the bid, why did Sophie Wilson’s company win? Is Charles Seymour really that formidable?"
Hayley Cole asked Jas Reed, unwilling to accept it.
Jas Reed moved his lips, seeming to want to say sothing but ultimately held back, saying nothing.
His hesitancy made a thought flash quickly through Hayley Cole’s mind, but it was too fast to grasp.
"Jas, what are you trying to say?" Unable to figure it out, Hayley Cole asked directly.
"Hmm, it’s nothing." Jas Reed smiled gently, "Let’s go back and pack up, and head ho in a bit."
"No, you tell first! What were you about to say?" Hayley Cole’s temper flared up, and when that happened, she wouldn’t listen to anyone.
Jas Reed looked at Hayley Cole with a complex expression, then said, "Hayley, my brother knows so big shots who ca out of the training camp, but that’s only through the connections of my uncle."
"My uncle used to be in the training camp, but he’s retired now. He can’t possibly have so much influence as to sway the decision of a branch chairman and a vice chairman." Jas Reed stopped there, not elaborating further.
Hayley Cole furrowed her brows, still unable to understand what Jas Reed ant: "If Charles Seymour doesn’t have this ability, then who does? You’re not trying to tell it’s Sophie Wilson, are you? What skills does she have?"
"Just because she’s the boss of Lingzhu Jewelry? Isn’t that a joke? What connection could a jewelry store possibly have with a training camp?" Hayley Cole scoffed, "They’re completely unrelated."
"No, it’s supposed to be..." Jas Reed started but then shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, none of that matters, let’s just go back."
"No way, you must clarify this today!" Hayley Cole was not having it; this matter had embarrassed her so much, made her lose face in front of Jas Reed. If she didn’t get to the bottom of this, she wouldn’t let it go!
"Hayley, have you ever considered that the chairman did this?" Jas Reed carefully probed.
"My dad?" Hayley Cole hadn’t considered this possibility at all.
In her eyes, her stepfather was even more imposing and scary than her brother. Ever since she entered the Cole Family, she seldom saw him, he was always busy.
In the beginning, he would scold her.
After she acted up a few tis, he stopped saying anything unnecessary to her.
If not for his attitude, she wouldn’t have such a strong aversion to the Cole Family. She always thought that even if their relationship wasn’t close, at least they were family.
Now it seed, it was all just her wishful thinking!
"How could that be?" Hayley Cole asked incredulously, "What reason would he have for doing that?"
Wasn’t he indifferent to her affairs?
Why would he sabotage her from behind?
"Maybe it’s because you wanted to win the bid, so Chairman Cole got upset." Jas Reed said with a helpless, bitter smile.
