"Mrs. Wilson, what you’re saying isn’t right." President Payten walked over and said, "My collaboration with President Wilson, Sophie, has been great."
"I won’t even mention how my real estate is doing. Recently, your company under President Wilson has received many renovation orders. The clients have consistently given high praise once the renovations are completed."
"I heard that after President Wilson took over the company, she fired some people. Since then, the quality of the renovations has been impeccable. The recent orders, they’re either coming due to reputation or were referred by old clients."
President Payten stepping up to speak for her made Sophie Wilson nod slightly. As she expected, President Payten was just like she knew from her past life, a businessman with a conscience and a sense of justice.
If it weren’t for her understanding of President Payten in her past life, she wouldn’t have sought cooperation with President Payten in this life so soon.
"President Payten, of course, you’re speaking up for Sophie Wilson. Who wouldn’t when she brings profits to your company?" Lily Warren sneered with disdain, "But President Payten, don’t forget, you collaborated with my husband in the past."
"And now you’re helping this heartless ingrate, Sophie Wilson, just because you’re blinded by money. Hasn’t your conscience been eaten by dogs?" Lily Warren questioned President Payten.
President Payten smiled, not angry: "Whether I’m lying doesn’t require my words. The clients have the ultimate say. If the renovations were poorly done, no one would foolishly throw money away into it."
Lily Warren was stumped by President Payten’s words, so she didn’t argue further about this matter, and instead turned to Benjamin Walton and said, "President Walton, you should be careful. Sophie Wilson has quite the skills. Haven’t you noticed she’s even keeping a toy boy?"
"She’s young, but her mind is full of schemes and her skin is thick."
Lily Warren knew well how to ruin a woman’s reputation. Once Sophie Wilson’s reputation was tarnished, she wondered how that bitch could still survive in the industry.
Sophie Wilson wouldn’t let them have it easy, neither would Lily let Sophie have it easy.
Let’s see who can outdo whom?
"President Walton, look, look, that’s the toy boy Sophie Wilson is keeping, dressed like a peacock, but unfortunately not doing anything proper! Bah!" Lily Warren, originally from a street background, could usually put on a veneer of sophistication, but in moments of urgency, her true nature was exposed.
Following Lily Warren’s pointing, Benjamin Walton looked over and was instantly stunned, blinking in disbelief as he stared at the person standing next to Sophie Wilson.
Lily Warren, seeing Benjamin Walton’s shock, laughed with satisfaction, thinking he had been convinced by her: "President Walton, you see, this toy boy he..."
"Young Master Seymour, long time no see." Before Lily Warren could finish her sentence, she saw Benjamin Walton, smiling broadly, eagerly walking over to greet him.
This smile was completely different from the one he faced her with earlier. Even if Lily Warren was foolish, she could see that Benjamin Walton was trying to ingratiate himself with Charles Seymour. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✶𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲✶𝗻𝗲𝘁
Benjamin Walton extended his hand excitedly, and then, Charles Seymour looked at him indifferently, expressionless, as if he hadn’t seen the enthusiasm on Benjamin Walton’s face.
Benjamin Walton’s actions shocked everyone around, who exchanged puzzled glances and whispered to familiar people nearby, discussing who this "Young Master Seymour" could be to have Benjamin Walton be so flattering.
People around thought back and forth, and it seemed that the only one who could make Benjamin Walton react so warmly and was worthy of being called "Young Master Seymour" was the eldest son of the Seymour Family, right?
So, the person next to Sophie Wilson was the elusive eldest son of the Seymour Family?
