Chapter 1092: Sophie Will Handle It
Chapter 1092: Sophie Will Handle It
"That’s not up to you." The voice of Frederick Cole on the phone startled Hayley Cole so much that her cell phone slipped to the ground.Why is her mom’s phone in Frederick Cole’s hands? Does this mean there’s no room for negotiation?
"Hayley?" James Reed was anxiously worried but tried hard to suppress it, and called her gently.
Hayley Cole snapped back to reality, looking at the three pairs of eyes concerned about her, and suddenly tears flowed down as she threw herself into James Reed’s arms: "James, from now on, I only have you."
He didn’t want her to have only him!
James Reed shouted in his heart, but on the surface, he had to coax Hayley Cole: "Hayley, is there some misunderstanding between you and your dad? There’s no overnight feud between father and daughter. Whatever issues there are, talk it over properly, and it’ll be resolved."
"Both of you are upset right now, calm down first and talk later," James Reed coaxingly said to Hayley Cole, "There’s still time, let’s discuss it in a few days."
Hayley Cole didn’t speak, only paused before saying, "James, you should go to the company, I need some time alone."
With that, Hayley Cole ignored everyone else and went upstairs to her room.
This matter left James Reed feeling quite agitated. After arriving at the company, he wasn’t in the mood to seek new business but sat dazedly at his desk, suddenly opening the drawer and taking out a business card that was at the bottom.
He gazed at the card with a long absent stare, and eventually put it back. There was still some hope, and he didn’t need to act on this right now.
James Reed put the card back, but he was now pondering how to prevent this situation from escalating.
If Hayley Cole truly had no father-daughter relationship with Frederick Cole, what was the point of marrying her?
James Reed glanced at the computer, then immediately had his assistant contact Maritime Force, as he wanted to create a buzz, at least to ensure Frederick Cole and Hayley Cole maintained a connection.
Of course, James Reed wasn’t foolish enough to directly target Hayley Cole but instead exposed recent years’ news about women and children subjected to family abuse, stirring public attention and sympathy for these women and children.
Once there was enough heat, he seemingly inadvertently guided the topic to Hayley Cole.
He exposed the events surrounding Hayley Cole’s biological father, highlighting how pitiful Hazel Bennett and Hayley Cole were back then, and only after meeting Frederick Cole did they lead a happy life.
Maritime Force vigorously disseminated and guided public opinion, praising Frederick Cole’s virtues, emphasizing how, even in a restructured family, his protection created a warm and loving family.
Seeing that online, netizens were led to continuously bless the Cole Family’s future happiness, James Reed finally let out a sigh of relief.
Within a day’s time, he managed to mobilize all public opinion before the end of the workday.
Faced with such online rhetoric, Frederick Cole would certainly need to think twice about severing ties with Hayley Cole.
After all, going against public sentiment is no simple task, and even Frederick Cole would have to weigh this carefully.
At Peace Corp, Jim Perry knocked and entered Charles Seymour’s office: "Boss, have you seen the online buzz?"
"Hmm." Charles Seymour nodded.
"When are we taking action?" Jim Perry asked curiously, recalling the scale of previous actions by the boss, ready to rally people at a moment’s notice.
Charles Seymour looked up and said indifferently, "No need." Then, a gleam of a proud smile appeared in his eyes, "Sophie will handle it."
