"Frederick, what are you doing?" Hazel Bennett asked with a heavy heart.
"This time, for the training camp bid, she used my name to spread rumors outside, trying to help James Reed win the bid while undermining another company," Frederick Cole said as he released Hazel's hand and spoke gravely.
"What? Hayley actually..." Hazel gasped, covering her mouth in shock, and asked worriedly, "Did it affect the bidding? Will it get you penalized? What happened?"
Frederick looked at Hazel with relief, recognizing that she ultimately understood right from wrong.
"Hayley has really gone too far!" At this moment, Hazel wouldn't side with Hayley just because she's her own child.
"Hazel, we can't control her anymore," Frederick urged Hazel to face the reality. "She's always been hostile toward us; the more we try to discipline her, the more rebellious she becomes."
Hazel lowered her head in distress, remaining silent.
She naturally knew how everyone had struggled over the years.
