If Wesley didn’t say anything, they might just end up dueling.
Sandra looked at Ben, who was dumbfounded.
She reminded him softly.
“Mr. Harrison is our first choice.”
In fact, Ben was just there to review the designs for a company that wanted to collaborate with the Cooper Group.
As long as Ben nodded, the two companies would work together.
The Cooper Group had been renowned for hundreds of years. They handled every cooperation with caution and would never tarnish Ben’s reputation.
But Ben sabotaged it.
Henric and Edwin turned their astonished gazes to Ben. Their attention had been focused on the dresses, and they had completely ignored the other people. Henric and Edwin exchanged glances.
They saw disappointment in each other’s eyes.
Although Ben was in a lower position than they were, he had been there first.
Furthermore, they shouldn’t embarrass him.
Their eyes darkened.
Sandra continued flatly.
“But Mr. Harrison thinks these things won’t do and has rejected us.”
Edwin and Henric froze.
Their faces glowed with excitement.
“Does this mean we have a chance?”
Edwin pointed to himself, his eyes flickering.
“Pretty, I’m getting old. I’m sure you don’t want to let me down, right?”
Beside him, Henric slapped his head.
“Oh, cut it out.”
He chuckled and gave Sandra an obsequious smile.
“Young lady, as you can see, I’m gentler than him.”
Sandra was speechless.
She rubbed her temples and pointed at Wesley.
“He is the person in charge of the design department.”
Edwin and Henric quickly approached the wheelchair.
They took turns trying to curry favor with Wesley.
They seemed willing to fulfill any requests from Wesley.
Wesley was speechless.
He shot a glance at Sandra.
How could she use him as a shield?
Did she blame him for not helping her just now?
He didn’t deserve it.
And he didn’t want to deal with the two men.
Sandra sighed in relief as the two men walked away.
She turned to look at Ben.
Her lips curled into a smile.
“Mr. Harrison, we really appreciate your rejection.”
If they were to cooperate with the company he represented, the profit margin wouldn’t be as high.
If they worked with the Fashion Design Association or the Academy of Fine Arts, the profit could triple.
This was because the number of orders would increase five to six times.
Ben’s face turned gloomy.
But he couldn’t vent his anger on Sandra. He could only glare at Philip with resentment.
He had been misled by Philip to think that Wesley wanted to save the design department based on his past reputation.
Ben was a proud person and wouldn’t allow anyone to use him for their own benefit.
So, he hadn’t carefully examined the designs before coming to a conclusion.
He had made a mistake from the beginning.
Philip lowered his head under Ben’s gaze.
He dared not breathe loudly.
However, he still found it strange.
He had heard that this time the Cooper Group wouldn’t come up with anything good, so he came to laugh at them.
But instead, he made a fool of himself.
“Philip.”
His clothes were tugged on.
He turned his head to look.
Emily’s eyes were red, and guilt was written all over her face.
“I’m sorry.”
In the past, Philip might have immediately set aside his principles and comforted her. But now, he was a mess inside.
He didn’t even want to speak.
So, he just glanced at her and turned away.
Emily’s expression froze.
She couldn’t believe it.
Among her five brothers, Philip and Vincent had always been the kindest to her.
Now she was heartbroken, yet Philip didn’t console her.
He even ignored her.
How could this be?
Emily panicked.
Could it be that Philip had discovered Sandra’s great value and planned to treat her well?
But he had said that Emily was the only younger sister!
Emily absolutely couldn’t allow such a thing to happen! Sandra should just disappear!
Sandra felt Emily’s malicious gaze on her back, but she didn’t care at all.
She was determined to make Emily back down.
“Mr. Harrison.”
Sandra said purposely, “Your disciple is so considerate to come with you.” It was so ironic.
Ben was furious.
He shot Philip a resentful look.
It was all Philip’s fault.
Philip had no choice but to look at Sandra.
After all, he was her brother!
Even though he was at fault, now that the design department of the Cooper Group had passed the test, why couldn’t Sandra just let it go?
Wasn’t she afraid of the Hill family seeking revenge?
Sandra smiled and asked seriously.
“Mr. Hill, do you have something to say?”
Philip didn’t want to be noticed.
But Sandra had intentionally called him out. He could only face it.
The reporters whispered to each other.
“Did you notice that Philip and Emily were always on Mr. Harrison’s side?”
“I think Sandra gave them a chance on purpose, hoping they would choose for themselves.”
“Aren’t they siblings?”
“I used to really like Mr. Hill. Turns out he’s a rapacious scumbag.”
“He didn’t even stand up for his own sister.”
“I think Mr. Harrison and his disciple are the same kind of people.”
Ben’s face turned livid.
He immediately turned around, raised his hand, and angrily slapped Philip.
“I should never have trusted you!”
