Just as Julian Campbell was making wild guesses, the office door was kicked open forcefully, accompanied by the secretary’s shocked exclamation, "Miss, how can you do this?"
"Mind your own business! Get out!"
Julian Campbell turned his head dumbfounded, this doesn’t seem like a cooperative relationship, does it?
While Julian Campbell was in a daze, Emerie Wilson had already barged in, followed by the anxious secretary and the extremely troubled Benjamin Walton.
"Alright, you go out first." Sophie Wilson said to the concerned secretary.
The secretary quickly left, not forgetting to close the door properly.
Emerie Wilson didn’t care about any of that, she confronted Sophie Wilson, her eyes almost spitting fire, "Sophie, what’s really going on?"
"What’s going on? Sophie asked amusedly, sitting leisurely in her office chair.
"Did you do something sneaky behind the scenes, causing Benjamin’s company to get no business!" Emerie demanded angrily.
"You think I’m the kind of person who does things behind others’ backs?" Sophie asked Emerie, amused, then her gaze fell on Benjamin Walton, "What, Mr. Walton’s company hasn’t been doing well lately?"
"Not just bad, it’s practically nothing!" Emerie said furiously, "Sophie, don’t think denying it means you didn’t do it. You’ve been doing sneaky things behind the scenes. Do you believe I won’t tell your father and Charles Seymour, let them see what a cunning person you really are!"
She didn’t believe Sophie wouldn’t be afraid.
Sophie burst out laughing, shaking her head and sighing, "Emerie, you really don’t understand me."
"What, you want to say you’re not scared? Yeah, now you have Nelson backing you up. I heard Peace Corporation has formed a partnership with G Corporation. Now even Charles has to watch your face, you’re quite capable. So you’re not afraid of anything, right." Emerie sarcastically retorted.
This tone, it’s hard to tell if there’s more disdain or jealousy.
Sophie laughed, shook her head and said, "What I mean is, I haven’t been doing anything behind the scenes; I’ve been doing it openly and aboveboard."
Julian Campbell almost choked on his own saliva, looking shocked at Sophie, who was laughing with such wickedness - this... Aunty seems a bit scary?
Scarier than Uncle.
"Sophie Wilson, it really is you!" Emerie shouted furiously after a brief shock, "I’m going to report you!"
Such childish words made Sophie burst into laughter, "Emerie, before reporting, you should ask Benjamin why his company can’t get business."
Emerie, hearing this, turned to look at Benjamin Walton.
Benjamin Walton didn’t speak, just had a somber expression.
"Benjamin?" Emerie called out, feeling somewhat uncertain.
Sophie seeing Benjamin didn’t want to speak, kindly explained for him, "Since he’s not saying it, I’ll tell you."
"The reason Benjamin’s company can’t get business is because his company is experiencing what the Wilson Corporation went through not long ago—high standards and strict requirements."
"Other companies naturally don’t want to be dragged into such strict requirements, so they don’t want to cooperate with Benjamin’s company." Sophie said with a smile, but her words made Emerie’s face turn pale in an instant.
