Chapter 1024: Chapter 1024: My Backer
Hayley Cole glared arrogantly at Sophie Wilson and said disdainfully, "Besides, what’s the use of someone who’s already retired?"
That uncle is already retired and not in the training camp; can he be better than her dad?
"In the future, James and I will have my dad backing us. You just wait. Whatever Charles Seymour did to bully my James before, I will return it one by one!" Hayley Cole threatened Sophie Wilson with fierce words.
Sophie Wilson shrugged her shoulders and said pitifully to Hayley Cole, "I’m so scared!"
She said she was scared, but her demeanor was clearly mocking.
Sophie Wilson’s attitude made Hayley Cole quite angry: "Sophie Wilson, you think I’m joking?"
"Of course I don’t think you’re joking," Sophie Wilson replied with a smile.
Hayley Cole snorted, "At least you have some awareness, I..."
"I think you’re talking nonsense." Sophie Wilson’s words made Hayley Cole’s face turn green!
"Sophie Wilson, what do you have to be so smug about right now? My James has my dad backing him..."
"Hmm, didn’t you deny that Chairman Cole is your dad?" Sophie Wilson interrupted Hayley Cole’s boastful words curiously and asked.
Hayley Cole froze as if she had been slapped in the face, her cheeks feeling a bit hot.
"Sophie Wilson, don’t sow discord between Hayley and her family," James Reed naturally stood on Hayley Cole’s side, as she was his backing and his wife now.
"How Hayley’s family relations are, outsiders wouldn’t know, so please don’t speculate,"
James Reed spoke righteously, making Sophie Wilson nod and smile, "Alright, that’s your business; it has nothing to do with me. What does it matter who your dad is to me? Why show off in front of me?"
"Sophie Wilson, I’m just telling you, now your Charles Seymour has no backing. Even if he does, that backing is not as strong as mine and James’. In the future, if he wants to bully James again, he’d better weigh it carefully to see if he can afford to mess with James?" Hayley Cole sneered, "Don’t forget, my dad is also an engineer who contributed to national special projects."
"Oh, so that’s it. Seems having an engineer dad is quite impressive," Sophie Wilson said amusingly.
She really didn’t know what Chairman Cole’s mood would be when he found out Hayley Cole was acting so arrogantly outside.
"Humph, of course it’s impressive. If you’re capable, you should also find an engineer for a backing!" Hayley Cole arrogantly raised her head, looking down at Sophie Wilson.
"Backing..." Sophie Wilson had just said two words when suddenly she heard a familiar name from the TV behind her, making her abruptly turn her head.
The national channel’s news, broadcast every evening, was honoring several engineers who secretly worked hard and contributed to major national projects. Sophie didn’t catch the details at first; she only understood a few key words: "...Engineer Jerry Taylor has been quietly contributing for many years..."
Jerry Taylor?
Her uncle?
Engineer?
A stormy wave surged in Sophie Wilson’s heart, but on the surface, she remained calm.
The camera switched to focus on Jerry Taylor in a crisp suit; his usual gentle scholarly air now had some added sharpness and toughness because of the suit, looking completely different from his usual warmth.
Sophie Wilson smiled slightly, tapping her fingers gently on the window case: "Hey, my backing is also an engineer."
