Hayley Cole, who had quite a good impression of James Reed, would never have imagined that the smile curling on James Reed's lips as he drove was so sinister, with a gleam of calculation in his eyes.
As long as he found Hayley Cole's soft spot, he could get close to her.
Outsiders only saw Hayley Cole as arrogant and unreasonable, but he saw a child stuck in rebellion, never having outgrown adolescence.
Hayley Cole's mother married her stepfather, Chairman Cole, but she had never really accepted her stepfather and his children, always feeling she had lost motherly love.
She would always resort to such willful mischief to attract the attention of her stepfamily, wanting them to care more about her.
Unfortunately, she used the wrong method. Chairman Cole was a very proper person. Initially, when Hayley acted out, he would discipline her a few times, but in the end, for reasons unknown, it just fell by the wayside.
It was probably due to her mother's influence.
